King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 493: Chapter 176: Seventeenth Armor-Piercing Technique: The Heroic Sakura Association’s Fierce Offensive

After saying that, he stretched out his hands and slowly pressed them on Shi Ying’s back. This was their first physical contact; Shi Ying’s body trembled slightly, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes, but at this moment she was already tortured by the intense pain, leaving her no time to care about anything else.

Shi Feiyang channeled his True Qi, attempting to force the Gu worm’s toxin out of Shi Ying’s body.

However, the toxin from the Gu worm was extremely stubborn, like a malignant tumor, fiercely resisting Shi Feiyang’s True Qi.

Shi Feiyang grit his teeth, the muscles on his face tense, increasing the output of his True Qi, with beads of sweat seeping out on his forehead.

With Shi Feiyang’s unremitting efforts, the Gu worm’s toxin was gradually suppressed, and Shi Ying’s face slowly regained some color; her heart was filled with shock and a lack of understanding towards Shi Feiyang’s actions.

However, Shi Ying’s heart had a trace of warmth for Shi Feiyang, and her hatred for him decreased. Originally, she had no deep hatred for Shi Feiyang, except that Shi Ying helped the rebels confront the Imperial Court’s troops and had been ordered by Yang Yinglong to ambush Shi Feiyang.

At this moment, the corpse poison in the ancient tomb was still continuously spreading, and the situation was becoming increasingly urgent.

Shi Feiyang knew they must quickly find a way to completely resolve the corpse poison and the Gu worms, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.

While continuing to expel toxins for Shi Ying, he was swiftly devising countermeasures in his mind, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.

At this moment, the corpse poison spreading in the ancient tomb intertwined with Shi Feiyang’s True Qi light. Shi Ying’s painful moans and Shi Feiyang’s heavy breathing echoed in the ancient tomb.

As Shi Feiyang was expelling toxins for Shi Ying and the corpse poison was spreading in a critical moment, suddenly, a sharp, piercing howl came from within the Corpse King Coffin, as if a sharp blade had sliced through the silent night sky.

A dark shadow shot out from the coffin like lightning, too fast for one to take in.

When the dark shadow landed, everyone focused their gaze and saw that it was a giant bird, enveloped in corpse poison.

The giant bird’s wings spread over a dozen feet, resembling two enormous black fans. A green, corpse-poisonous mucus flowed over its feathers; wherever the mucus dripped, the ground was instantly corroded into deep pits, emitting a sizzling sound, a pungent odor spreading, making one nauseous.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang secretly felt it was not good. While maintaining the toxin-expelling True Qi, he sidestepped to avoid the giant bird’s attack.

After circling once in the air, the giant bird dove again towards Shi Feiyang and Shi Ying, its sharp claws gleaming with a cold light, aiming directly for Shi Feiyang’s throat. Without time to think, Shi Feiyang abruptly drew the Celestial Frost Blade from his waist, infused it with blazing Red Flame True Qi, and thrust it toward the giant bird.

The Celestial Frost Blade clashed with the giant bird’s claws, emitting a piercing metallic friction sound, with sparks flying everywhere.

With Shi Feiyang’s help, the backlash from the Gu poison was slightly alleviated for Shi Ying. She endured her physical weakness and took out a black bone flute from her bosom. This bone flute was her Magical Artifact for practicing Evil Skill. At this time, she infused it with True Qi, playing an eerie melody.

Upon hearing the flute sound, the giant bird’s previously frenzied actions became sluggish, and the fierce light in its eyes gradually dimmed.

Shi Feiyang seized this opportunity, increased his True Qi output, and the Celestial Frost Blade in his hand swung repeatedly, leaving wounds on the giant bird’s body, splattering green, corpse-poisonous blood. However, the giant bird did not give up so easily. It let out a mournful cry, and the corpse poison on its body suddenly ignited, turning into masses of green flames, rushing towards Shi Feiyang and Shi Ying.

Shi Feiyang hurriedly shielded Shi Ying behind him, forming a barrier with his True Qi to ward off the green flames’ attack.

The flames hit the barrier, emitting sizzling sounds, the True Qi of the barrier fluctuating constantly, always in danger of breaking.

Just as Shi Feiyang felt a bit overwhelmed, suddenly, rapid footsteps could be heard from outside the ancient tomb.

It turned out that the Heroic Sakura Association and the Miao Village’s Bai Zhi, along with the Miao Village Saintess, accompanied by ”Water Dragon” Jin Liufu and ”Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword” Sect Leader Fei Wenxing, came to support. Upon seeing the scene inside the ancient tomb, they immediately joined the fierce battle.

Among them, the Miao Village Saintess took out a cloth bag full of herbs and scattered them into the air. These herbs had the effect of purifying evil energies, and upon contact with the pervasive corpse poison and green flames, they immediately reacted, emitting puffs of smoke that weakened the enemy’s strength.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang felt invigorated. He, Bai Zhi, Jin Liufu, and others cooperated with each other, gradually gaining the upper hand.

Subsequently, Shi Feiyang executed a move from the Tathagata Divine Palm, ”Buddha’s Light Illuminates All,” golden light radiating from his palm, with a Buddha statue faintly emerging, striking towards the giant bird.

Under the encirclement of everyone, the giant bird could no longer hold on, letting out a plaintive cry, it fell heavily to the ground, dead.

After dealing with the giant bird, everyone did not relax. They knew full well that the corpse poison remained a huge threat.

Shi Feiyang and Shi Ying temporarily put aside their misunderstanding, jointly researching the Corpse-Suppressing Copper Coin Array and methods to deal with the corpse poison. After some effort, they finally found the key to solving the corpse poison—in the depths of the ancient tomb was a mystical jade said to possess the power to purify all things.

Shi Feiyang and Shi Ying led everyone towards the depths of the ancient tomb.

Along the way, they encountered various traps and evil spirits’ attacks, but relying on everyone’s wisdom and courage, they resolved each one.

When they finally found the mystical jade, it emitted a gentle glow, resonating with Shi Feiyang’s Red Flame True Qi and Shi Ying’s Evil Skill True Qi.
