King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 867 - 251: Turbulent Grass-Sea, Chaotic Shadows of the Japanese, Brilliant Strategies, Stars Fall, Souls Lost in Battle (Part 3)

He was seen with his palms flying, actions fierce and mighty, already displaying the Beggar Gang’s ultimate technique "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms".

The palm wind roared, akin to tumultuous waves, carrying a force that seemed to topple mountains and overturn seas, where it passed, stout branches were snapped alive, wood splinters scattered like snowflakes, and grooves carved into the ground with the force of the palm wind.

Lan Xiaodie, helplessly, paused her steps. Her beautiful eyes widened, filled with wrath, her Liu Mei stood erect, resembling two sharp Willow Leaf Sabers.

She let out a crisp shout, her voice crystal clear yet brimming with endless anger: "Zhong Renwang, dare not speak such arrogant words! You have repeatedly framed Hero Shi, but what was the outcome? Didn’t you end up with a miserable fate, losing your nose and breaking both your palms! Behaving so obnoxiously today, have you forgotten the pain once the scars have healed?"

She knew well the alarming power of Zhong Renwang’s palm, if she rashly faced it, death was certain. Thus, she spoke words of provocation, attempting to sow discord, divert Zhong Renwang’s hatred, seeking a glimmer of life for herself.

Just as Zhong Renwang’s palm wind was about to sweep in, Lan Xiaodie lightly tapped the ground with her toe, moved her body like a Spiritual Snake, instantly displayed the Five Poison Sect’s "Spiritual Snake Flash" Lightweight Technique. She turned into a blue phantom, floating through the gaps in the overwhelming palm wind, nimble and agile, deftly evading Zhong Renwang’s fierce strike.

However, just as Lan Xiaodie avoided Zhong Renwang’s attack, she felt a deadly chill approaching from behind.

Her heart jolted, without much thought, swiftly turned around.

She saw Dugu Yan like a black lightning, silently closing in from the flank.

His Long Sword shimmered with chilling cold light, like the cold moon in a winter night, the sword move ruthless to the extreme, stabbing straight at Lan Xiaodie’s throat.

Sword Qi spread in all directions, slicing the surrounding air into fine cracks, emitting a "hissing" sound.

Lan Xiaodie felt the chilling Sword Qi approaching, her heart in shock.

Her right hand swiftly reached out from her bosom like a phantom, palm already held a luminescent powder from the Five Poison Sect renowned for instilling fear, "Bone Erosion Poison Powder." "Hmph, Dugu Yan, taste the potency of my Five Poison Sect’s toxin!" Lan Xiaodie opened her crimson lips and let out a brisk shout, wrist flicked sharply, the "Bone Erosion Poison Powder" like a dense mist, attacked Dugu Yan head-on. The poison powder was colorless and odorless, yet extremely aggressive, once it touched the skin, it swiftly corroded, causing unbearable pain, as if countless small insects were gnawing at the bones.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Yan’s heart was struck with terror.

He was well aware of the Five Poison Sect’s terrifying poisons, dared not be careless.

Hurriedly withdrew his sword for defense while dodging sideways, his Long Sword quickly spun, creating a strong wind intended to blow away the poison powder.

The sword blade friction with the air, emitted a "buzzing" sound, which was particularly piercing in this silent forest.

However, that move from Lan Xiaodie was merely a feint.

Taking advantage of Dugu Yan focusing on dealing with the poison powder, her left hand swiftly pulled out a jade green soft whip from her waist.

The whip faintly glowed with strange light, smeared with traces of poison, like a hidden snake, ready at any moment to deliver a fatal strike to the enemy.

Lan Xiaodie flicked her wrist lightly, the soft whip like a nimble snake, with whistling wind, headed to wrap around Zhong Renwang’s legs.

The soft whip traced an arc in the air, akin to green lightning, its speed extremely fast.

Just as Zhong Renwang prepared to assault Lan Xiaodie once more, he suddenly saw the soft whip coming.

He reacted promptly, leaped upward, simultaneously sending his palms towards the soft whip.

With a loud "bang", the soft whip collided with Zhong Renwang’s iron palms, sparks flew.

That loud boom reverberated through the forest, shaking the surrounding trees slightly.

Taking advantage of Zhong Renwang’s landing moment, Lan Xiaodie’s jade hand waved again, several poison needles shot out like Hidden Weapons towards the two of them.

The poison needles sparkled with a cold sheen under sunlight, with tinges of poison, tracing bizarre arcs in the air, akin to meteor chasing the moon, flying towards Zhong Renwang and Dugu Yan. Zhong Renwang and Dugu Yan hurriedly wielded their weapons to block.

Instantly, the "clang clang" sound was incessant. Poison needles collided with weapons, emitting crisp sounds, sparks flying.

Zhong Renwang’s iron palms flipped up and down, knocking away the poison needles shot at him one by one; Dugu Yan swung the Long Sword, sword flowers flashing, blocking the poison needles one by one. Yet Lan Xiaodie didn’t stop there.

In this fierce clash, she seized the opportunity and performed the Five Poison Sect’s "Poisonous Miasma Mist Technique."

She chanted softly, a pale green mist rose around her.

The mist quickly spread, like a green ghost, enveloping Zhong Renwang and Dugu Yan.

This poisonous miasma contained multiple toxic substances, inhaling lightly causes dizziness and disorientation, severely leads to instant death, bleeding from all orifices.

Zhong Renwang and Dugu Yan trapped in this poisonous mist could only see a blur, breathing became difficult, throats itched fiercely, unable to restrain coughing.

Their hearts filled with terror, they waved palms and swords, trying to dispel the enveloping mist. When Zhong Renwang and Dugu Yan finally dispelled the spreading poisoned mist, Lan Xiaodie had vanished without a trace, as if she had never appeared here.

Enduring the discomfort from inhaling some poisoned mist, Zhong Renwang reddened in the face, eyes wide open, shouting angrily: "Lan Xiaodie, you demoness, how dare you use such diabolical methods! Today, I’ll remember this grievance, in the future you’ll pay back double!" His voice echoed in the wilderness, receiving no response, the wilderness silent, only the howling wind remaining, but no sign of Lan Xiaodie.
