36: Chapter 36 The Cicada Awaits, A Series of Killing Formations

Qi Yang did not pay attention to those Loose Cultivator torn apart by poisonous beasts, nor did he bother with Li Ao and the others who were bogged down in bitter battle.

The Law of Gou, never meddle in other people's business!

Stepping on a divine mobility talisman, Qi Yang silently broke away from the main group.

In his mind, the safe route map obtained from soul-searching the bald demonic cultivator's memory was clearly imprinted.

The outer perimeter of Duling Valley was filled with terrifying killing arrays refined by a Golden Core poison cultivator from a thousand years ago; taking a single wrong step meant eternal damnation.

This was also the reason why the demonic cultivators of the Blood Fiend Sect wanted the Loose Cultivator to pave the way ahead.

But Qi Yang did not need to.

Weaving left and right, he accurately avoided the absolute poisonous killing arrays disguised as piles of rubble, and bypassed patches of poisonous swamps capable of devouring living people.

Half an hour later, Qi Yang passed through a dense forest of poisonous vines.

The view before his eyes suddenly opened up.

A huge stone hall, half-embedded in the mountain, appeared before him.

The gates of the stone hall had already collapsed halfway, covered with the traces of time and broken array patterns.

Hanging directly above the main hall was a tottering stone plaque, inscribed with four large characters in ancient seal script: "Myriad Poisons Pill Chamber!"

"We have arrived! The core of the ruin!"

Qi Yang took a deep breath, a trace of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

But he did not immediately rush in to search for treasures.

Qi Yang stopped outside the gates of the stone hall and looked back in the direction he came from.

Those demonic cultivators of the Blood Fiend Sect had a route map, and estimated it wouldn't take long for them to shake off the beast tide and rush over.

"The Law of Gou, never leave your back to an unknown enemy."

Qi Yang sneered, pulling a large handful of top-grade-one explosive flame talismans from his Storage Pouch, along with the bottle of blood-melting powder specially prepared for demonic cultivators.

"Today, this daddy will set up a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you all!"

At the entrance of the Myriad Poisons Pill Chamber, Qi Yang moved nimbly.

He buried thirty top-grade-one explosive flame talismans deeply under the collapsed rubble pile of the stone hall according to the positions of the Qimen Dunjia.

Afterwards, he uncorked the jade bottle containing the blood-melting powder and evenly sprinkled that dark red powder above the explosive flame talismans.

As long as the Talismans exploded, the blood-melting powder would rapidly vaporize, forming an inescapable blood-colored poisonous fog!

Having finished all this, Qi Yang's figure flashed, hiding behind a huge stone pillar on the inner side of the stone hall gates.

He swallowed a turtle breathing pill, suppressing his heartbeat and blood flow to the limit, transforming his entire body into a lifeless stone.

Quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a rush of piercing sounds and heavy breathing came from outside the stone hall.

"Quick! That bunch of scumbags from the Xuantian Sect are held up by the beast tide, all the treasures in the ruins belong to our Blood Fiend Sect!"

Accompanied by arrogant laughter, the team of the Blood Fiend Sect broke through the final poisonous miasma and appeared before the stone hall gates.

However, their current appearance was extremely wretched.

The team of more than twenty people originally now had fewer than ten left, and every single one was injured.

Clearly, even with beast-repelling powder smeared on them, breaking through the berserk beast tide came at a heavy cost.

The Blood-Robed Elder at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation leading the group still had a formidable aura, but his face was somewhat pale.

"Elder, this is the Myriad Poisons Pill Chamber! The Legacy of that Golden Core poison cultivator must be inside!"

A demonic cultivator of the Qi Condensation 8th Layer excitedly pointed at the gate.

"Hahaha! Heaven helps me! As long as I get the Pill Formula for the foundation establishment pill, this old man can make a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!"

The Blood-Robed Elder let out a wild laugh and waved his large hand.

"Enter!"

Seven or eight demonic cultivators rushed towards the stone hall gates with red eyes, like starving wolves.

Ten steps.

Five steps.

Three steps!

When all the demonic cultivators stepped into the range of the rubble pile, Qi Yang behind the stone pillar had terrifying murderous intent burst from his turbid eyes.

"Explode!"

Qi Yang let out an angry roar in his heart, his hands violently forming hand seals from afar!

Rumble!!!

Thirty top-grade-one explosive flame talismans detonated simultaneously!

Terrifying waves of fire shot up into the sky from underground like a volcanic eruption, directly blasting the stone hall gates into a sea of fire!

"Enemy attack! Raise the blood shields!"

The Blood-Robed Elder was frightened out of his wits, instinctively roaring out.

All the demonic cultivators immediately frantically urged their spiritual power, and layers of dense blood-colored protective shields appeared on the surfaces of their bodies, trying to block the impact of the explosion.

However, the explosive flame talismans were only appetizers; the truly fatal thing was the dark red poisonous fog rising along with the fire waves!

The blood-melting powder had vaporized!

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

When the dark red poisonous fog came into contact with the demonic cultivators' protective blood shields, those indestructible blood shields were directly corroded with countless large holes!

"Ah!!! My blood shield! This is impossible!"

"Poison! There is poison! My hands are melting!"

The shrill screams resounded through the sky in the sea of fire.

The poisonous Qi of the blood-melting powder drilled into the demonic cultivators' bodies along the damaged blood shields, and the ultimate poison specifically breaking blood-path Cultivation Techniques completely erupted!

Several demonic cultivators whose cultivation was only at the Qi Condensation 8th Layer didn't even have room to resist; their bodily essence and blood boiled and melted within a few short breaths, and their entire bodies directly transformed into a pool of foul-smelling blood water, leaving not even a scrap of bone behind!

"Scumbag! Who is plotting against this old man?!"

The Blood-Robed Elder's eyes split open with rage.

After all, he was at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation, and his internal spiritual power was incomparably vast.

At the instant the blood shield shattered, he did not hesitate to bite the tip of his tongue, spraying out a mouthful of vital blood, forcibly burning ten years of Lifespan, and condensing a much thicker dark red blood armor on the surface of his body, forcefully rushing out from the poisonous fog!

But his subordinates behind him had already been completely wiped out!

"Get the hell out for this old man!"

The Blood-Robed Elder's eyes were crimson, resembling an enraged wild lion. The pressure of the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation erupted with a boom, shaking the dust inside the stone hall to fall patteringly.

"As you wish."

A hoarse and cold voice sounded from behind the stone pillar.

Qi Yang, wearing a black robe, walked out expressionless.

"Qi Condensation Seventh Layer?!"

After seeing Qi Yang's cultivation clearly, the Blood-Robed Elder was stunned at first, and then laughed out of extreme anger.

"An ant merely at the Qi Condensation Seventh Layer dares to plot against this old man? I will extract your soul and refine your essence, and make a human lantern out of you!"

Boom!

The Blood-Robed Elder completely went berserk, his withered body suddenly expanding by a circle, his muscles knotted all over his body.

He tightly grasped a blood-colored ghost-head broadsword emitting a thick Evil Qi with both hands, transforming into a blood-colored lightning bolt, and chopped down directly at Qi Yang's head!

This slash condensed all the power he exchanged by burning his Lifespan, and its power even briefly reached the threshold of the Qi Refining Tenth Layer!

Before the blade radiance even arrived, the terrifying gale had already scratched Qi Yang's cheeks with pain.

"Old thing, the times have changed!"

Qi Yang stood in place, neither dodging nor evading.

He sneered, his right hand violently pulling out that cracked grade-two defective piece from his bosom, the five elements ring!

"Five Poisons Nourish Spirit, rise!"

The overbearing and matchless Poison Wood Spiritual Power within Qi Yang's Dantian erupted with a boom, transforming into five spiritual power torrents of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, crazily pouring into the five elements ring.

Hum!

The dilapidated five elements ring burst forth with dazzling five-colored poisonous light, condensing into an incomparably thick Five Elements light shield in front of Qi Yang.

Bang!!!

The blood-colored blade radiance fiercely hacked onto the Five Elements light shield, producing a deafening loud noise!

The berserk air wave swept towards the surroundings, lifting up the blue stone floor tiles inside the stone hall layer by layer.

Qi Yang groaned, his legs plowing two deep gullies on the ground, but although the Five Elements light shield shook violently, it steadily blocked this fatal slash!

"A grade-two Magical Artifact?! How could a mere Qi Condensation Seventh Layer drive a grade-two Magical Artifact?!"

The Blood-Robed Elder's eyeballs were about to pop out, his face full of disbelief.

"Go think about it in your next life."

Murderous intent flashed wildly in Qi Yang's eyes.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Blood-Robed Elder's old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been born, his left sleeve shook violently!

Swish!

A short black arrow drenched in the virulent poison of the Frost Absolute Shadow was like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, piercing directly through the Blood-Robed Elder's throat at an incomparably tricky angle!

Puchi!

Blood splattered.

The Blood-Robed Elder, holding the ghost-head broadsword high, his body suddenly stiffened.

A clucking wind-leaking sound came from his throat, and the ice-blue frost rapidly spread across his entire body along the wound, completely freezing the remaining berserk spiritual power within his body.

Thump.

The demonic cultivator leader at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation died with his eyes wide open and fell to the ground.
