A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 545: Chapter 460: Death

However, nothing happened.

Only the buildings burned fiercely, and several nearby buildings were ignited as well, the wood within crackling as thick smoke rose.

A gust of wind blew, causing several people to cough violently from the smoke.

Was it a coincidence? Did the Talismans stored in the building explode?

Just as the lead cultivator was about to say something, Wang Ruoyu suddenly went limp.

A familiar sensation made Wang Ruoyu’s eyes widen. The boy, who had been so resolute just moments ago, suddenly had a panicked look on his face and shouted out incoherently.

”Don’t worry about me, just run! Run!”

As soon as he finished speaking, three out of five people’s bodies suddenly went limp, staggering and almost collapsing to the ground.

Among these three, two were using shield-type Defensive Spiritual Artifacts, while the other was at Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation, not using any Defensive Spiritual Artifact.

The remaining two, who were unaffected, were using light shield type Defensive Spiritual Artifacts that kept the smoke at bay outside.

”It’s poison! I’m poisoned!”

One of them shouted in panic.

The enemy leader suddenly realized: ”The smoke is poisonous!”

What kind of poison is this, and why does it take effect so quickly?

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a flash of black light, and two pitch-black daggers shot out from the left and right!

Seeing the two dagger spiritual artifacts, the two enemies naturally made a judgment.

It’s a Late-Stage Qi Cultivation!

Immediately, the two focused all their attention, each using their skills to catch the daggers, and suddenly were startled.

The force on these daggers was not strong, not like a Late-Stage Qi Cultivation.

At that moment, quicksand suddenly surged on the ground, but it was not attacking them; instead, it swept up Wang Ruoyu, who had been thrown to the side!

The quicksand flung Wang Ruoyu backward forcefully, throwing him far away.

But with this ripple of spiritual energy from the magic technique, the two enemies instantly locked onto the caster, flashing into a nearby house.

Li Da’s voice echoed from afar: ”Run! Shitou, run quickly!”

Another explosion, and the enemies were blasted out by a ball of firelight, cursing as they charged back in.

”You little bastard, I’ll skin you alive!”

”With a broken leg, let’s see where you’ll run!”

Wang Ruoyu rolled to the ground and, enduring intense pain, sat up, extending his hands to tightly grip the two short swords piercing through his shoulder blades.

He shouted and yanked the two short swords out!

At that moment, the intense pain almost made him faint. But he bit down hard on his tongue, struggling to stay conscious, and from a concealed place behind his waist, pulled out a small Storage Pouch. This was what the enemies had not searched.

The lesson learned: don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

This was the Sect Leader’s teaching, which Wang Ruoyu had always remembered.

Since he wasn’t smart, he would listen more to what the smart people had to say.

He tore open the Storage Pouch to find several small bottles and jars. Wang Ruoyu first took the antidote for the Drunken Immortal Powder, then, without hesitation, swallowed a crimson pill.

The potent medicinal power immediately broke through the seal in his Dantian!

The firelight burst everywhere, accompanied by a rumbling explosion, and the entire house collapsed as Li Da rolled out from the midst.

But this only delayed the two enemies a little longer, and before Li Da could drag his broken leg a few yards farther, they had already rushed out.

In front of two Late-Stage Qi Cultivation Flying Swords, the already wounded Li Da sighed deeply, gave up resisting, and closed his eyes.

Li Da, oh Li Da, how could you become so foolish? Knowing that you’d risk yourself, it’s really not worth it to save Wang Shitou.

Suddenly, a loud shouts rang out, and the ground shook violently!

Li Da opened his eyes wide and saw Wang Ruoyu, clad in thick Rock Armor, storming over with great strides, smashing the stone slabs underfoot, charging with the Triple Round Shield, and knocking the two Flying Swords aside!

”Li Zi, I’ve come to save you!”

”Save your head!” Li Da shouted in anger and surprise, ”Run quickly, or we both will die!”

”Then let’s die together!” Wang Ruoyu stood in front of Li Da, the Triple Round Shield expanded to the maximum, the thick Rock Armor making his already sturdy figure seem even larger.

Damnit! I came to save you, not to die together!

”Wang Ruoyu, you fool! Fool!” Li Da, eyes red, struggled to stand up, knowing that no words could change the situation.

”Then let me be a fool.” Wang Ruoyu lowered his stance and charged at the enemy, ”I’ll buy you time, quickly take the Red Heart Pill!”

Flying Swords, magic techniques, roared and exploded upon him, Rock Armor shattered, blood splattered, but Wang Ruoyu seemed utterly unfazed by the pain, swinging his heavy shield fiercely out.

A surge of tremendous force caught the unprepared enemy, sending them flying with a shield blow, crashing into the fiery inferno of the burning house!

”Take that for hitting me!”

Li Da tilted his head back, taking the Red Heart Pill. This was one of the strange new concoctions developed by the Yunshan Sect, greatly stimulating the body for the duration of one incense stick after consumption, suppressing injuries, but he’d have to lie in bed for a month to recover.

The key was, even if he took this pill, he still couldn’t beat two Late-Stage Qi Cultivation cultivators!

Li Da clenched his teeth, commanded the spell, and the short dagger floated up, splitting into two.

It’s a fight to the finish! The rest is left to fate!

At this moment, beyond a series of buildings, a team that had heard the commotion was already shrouded in starlight, rushing over.

...

Yuchi Hui, already wielding the Qilin Jade Seal above his head, charged into the Five Elements Grand Array.

Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist filled the air, Xin Metal Divine Lock surged up and down, Gui Water Divine Thunder buzzed continuously, and Bing Fire Divine Crow screeched incessantly.

Yuchi Hui surged with spiritual power, and the Qilin Seal radiated brilliant light. Wherever it passed, the spiritual mist dissipated, and the Xin Metal Divine Lock couldn’t get close. In his hands, twin axes flashed, weaving and entangling amidst the attacks from the Divine Thunder and Divine Crow.
