92: Chapter 92 Three-Way Battle

Soul Land's goal with these words was simple: to get Hundred Poisons to join them against the Human Race, directly ending Hundred Poisons' intention of watching from the sidelines while also adding a Void Refining combatant to their side.

Before arriving, Soul Land and Heavenly Soul had agreed that as long as Hundred Poisons was willing to help, they could accept even a slightly higher price.

Now, with just a few words and no cost at all, Soul Land had pulled Hundred Poisons onto their chariot and prevented him from profiting from the chaos—truly killing three birds with one stone!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

As Soul Land finished speaking, all eyes turned to the Hundred Poisons King to see if Soul Land's words were true.

However, the result was that the Hundred Poisons King remained silent, seemingly giving silent consent. The Human Race Cultivators immediately understood; since he didn't refute it, it must be true.

In fact, after Soul Land's words, it didn't matter what the Hundred Poisons King said; once the seeds of suspicion were sown, they would take root, and it wouldn't matter even if the Hundred Poisons King talked until he was blue in the face.

Even if the Hundred Poisons King didn't act, the Human Race would be on guard against him, ruining his plans to profit from their conflict!

The Hundred Poisons King's silence caused the atmosphere to freeze again, like a bomb that could explode at any moment, just waiting for a fuse.

Seeing that they still hadn't started fighting, Ning Yuan was anxious; things had reached this point, they should just get on with it.

Venerable Baiyun and Furious Cloud Thunder naturally didn't want to start; the Hundred Poisons King's involvement broke the balance of top-tier power. If a fight really broke out, they might not gain an advantage, and the Human Race of the Southern Province might even face destruction.

Heavenly Soul and Soul Land had to beware of Hundred Poisons stabbing them in the back. While Hundred Poisons was ostensibly on their side, they knew the truth and were naturally unwilling to strike first.

Because of the extra Hundred Poisons King, both sides had misgivings and were unwilling to start the war.

"Fine, fine, fine. Since none of you are willing to move, I'll start!"

Ning Yuan roughly guessed what they were worried about, but this wasn't what he wanted. If they didn't start fighting, how could he escape the Southern Province?

He needed someone to pin down the Hundred Poisons King and Soul Land; Venerable Baiyun and Furious Cloud Thunder were undoubtedly the best candidates.

"Listen, fellow Cultivators! Since the Yin Souls and the Yao Race have allied, should we just wait to be captured? Should we not rise up and resist? Should we let ourselves be slaughtered?"

"No, we cannot! I will fight them to the end! Even if I die, I'll tear off a piece of their flesh to let them know the unyielding will of the Human Race Cultivators..."

"Kill! Let us return the Southern Province's Human Race to a clear and bright world..."

"Charge!..."

Ning Yuan's hoarse roars, loud and infectious, echoed through the sky, making the blood of many Human Race Cultivators boil slightly.

Whoosh! Rumble!

Not only that, Ning Yuan had his Puppet carry some Talismans and rush forward to perform indiscriminate slaughter. Instantly, a large number of the Yao Race and Yin Souls were killed on the spot, blood flowing like a river and Yin Qi scattering.

"Human, how dare you!"

Seeing this, the Hundred Poisons King roared and pounced toward the Puppet, wanting to stop its slaughter.

But the Puppet didn't engage him directly, constantly dodging and moving around to kill more of the Yao Race, retreating immediately after each strike without staying in place for a second.

"Kill! Charge!"

"Show the might of our Human Race!"

"..."

Ning Yuan continued to egg on the Cultivators with blood-pumping words. Combined with the sounds of battle ahead, they could no longer restrain themselves and rushed forward, shouting battle cries.

Though it sounds long, it all happened in a few breaths. By the time the Void Refining experts realized what was happening, it was too late to stop it.

They had been focused on each other, giving Ning Yuan an opening. Now it was too late; the Human Cultivators were riled up, and even those who remained clear-headed were swept up by the momentum and forced to act.

Suddenly, the sounds of slaughter rose one after another, and shrill screams were heard incessantly. The three parties were instantly embroiled in a chaotic melee, attacking each other.

Although the Human Race Cultivators were driven by passion, it couldn't change their numerical disadvantage. Thus, they were pushed back, suffering heavy casualties.

As the three-way melee unfolded, Nascent Soul Stage Experts began to pair off and fight. In an instant, the battle reached a fever pitch, and everyone saw red.

Now only the Void Refining experts hadn't joined, but they soon would. Except for the Hundred Poisons King, the other four Void Refining experts released their Auras, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure as they stared coldly at each other.

Things had developed to this point, and they no longer had the mind to worry about anything else. As for why Ning Yuan had incited the three-way conflict, that had to be set aside for now.

Looking at the fierce battle in the sky, Heavenly Soul's mouth curled into a sinister smile, and he looked at Venerable Baiyun.

"We didn't settle it last time. Shall we play again?"

"Fine! Don't take the chance to slip away this time. Let me experience the strength of the Southern Province's number one person again!" Venerable Baiyun smiled calmly. Though wary, he showed no sign of it.

He glanced with a half-smile at Soul Land. Last time, Soul Land had fought Furious Cloud Thunder and was eventually defeated, having to call Heavenly Soul for help; otherwise, Soul Land would have long since gone to the Yellow Springs.

"Humph!"

Soul Land naturally understood the look and his face turned ashen, but he only gave a heavy snort. When he looked at Furious Cloud Thunder, he couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation.

Whoosh, whoosh!

After exchanging a look with Furious Cloud Thunder, Venerable Baiyun and Heavenly Soul simultaneously turned into streaks of light and vanished.

Clearly, they went elsewhere to fight. Otherwise, with the destructive power of Void Refining experts, no one below the Soul Transformation stage could survive.

"Haha, now it's just the two of us. This time, no one might come to save you!" Furious Cloud Thunder laughed loudly, a flash of lightning in his eyes. Thunder crackled around him, and even the sky rumbled in response.

"I was careless last time. You might not get your way this time!"

Soul Land spoke stubbornly, though his heart trembled. He knew his situation best; he was indeed no match for Furious Cloud Thunder.

Among the five Void Refining experts of the Southern Province, he was the weakest. He hadn't even comprehended a 'Concept'. Facing Furious Cloud Thunder, who had comprehended the 'Thunder Concept', he was completely suppressed with no chance at all.

This filled him with resentment and frustration. Why could others comprehend a 'Concept' while he, no matter what, could not?

"Stubborn even at death's door. A piece of trash who can't even comprehend a 'Concept' dares to be so arrogant before me!"

Furious Cloud Thunder held some contempt for Soul Land. After Cultivating for so many years, it was all for nothing; not even comprehending a 'Concept', what was he if not trash!

"Thunder Brute, how dare you insult me? I am at the Void Refining stage after all. How am I trash!"

Soul Land's eyes instantly turned blood-red, his face filled with malevolence. His inability to comprehend a 'Concept' had always been a thorn in his side, and being insulted for it was more than he could bear.

"Thunder Brute, come and fight! Today, it's either you or me!"

"As if I'm afraid of you! This day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

With that, two streaks of light flashed across the sky and vanished in the blink of an eye, followed by deafening thunder from the distance.
