Chapter 537: Chapter 185: Crisis at Flying Tiger Pass: Five Poison Sect’s Plot and Heroic Sakura Association’s Last Stand (Part 2)

Once struck by the flying needle, one falls into unconsciousness and becomes a sitting target.

Moreover, the Five Poison Sect has a group of experts skilled in using hidden weapons, concealed within the ranks, awaiting their moment to strike.

The variety of hidden weapons in these experts’ hands is vast, making them extremely difficult to defend against.

One such weapon is called the ”Poison Dragon Thorn”, shaped like a dragon’s tongue, crafted from fine steel, its surface covered with tiny grooves filled with deadly poison. When the weapon is launched, the poison in the grooves is injected immediately as it pierces the body, causing paralysis and loss of mobility.

Another is the ”Scorpion Tail Dart”, its body resembling a scorpion’s tail, incredibly sharp, with its tip smeared with scorpion venom. Those hit by it experience severe pain, as the venom spreads quickly, incapacitating the victim in no time.

In the mountains and forests, the Five Poison Sect has also set an elite ambush force.

They drive a swarm of specially trained poisonous creatures - snakes, scorpions, spiders - like a surging black tide toward Flying Tiger Pass under their command. These creatures emit a nauseating odor, their eyes glowing with an eerie green light.

Facing the Five Poison Sect’s frenzied assault, Shi Feiyang, having barely returned to Flying Tiger Pass, seemed as if a War God had descended, wielding the Celestial Frost Blade, charging into the enemy formation. The blade swung with great vigor in his hands, freezing air swirling as it flashed, leaving those from the Five Poison Sect falling in grim screams, blood splattering the ground.

Yili moved as gracefully as a swallow, with her long sword weaving sword flowers in the air, executing the ”Cloud Mist Swordsmanship” alongside Shi Feiyang.

Her swordsmanship was agile and ever-changing, with fierce moves that accurately struck the enemy’s vital points, repelling foes near Shi Feiyang and herself one by one. Under the sunlight, her figure appeared ethereal yet exuded a chilling aura of ruthlessness.

After the special healing at Four Sisters Mountain, Yili was now immune to all poisons.

Under the leadership of ”Long Arm Fist” Liao Pei, ”Heaven and Earth Saber” Lie Quan, ”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong, ”Divine Archer” Miao Menlong, ”Plum Blossom Dart” Shan Zhi, ”Water Serpent” Jin Liufu, ”Centipede” Gongsun Ren, and ”Cyan-faced Beast” Yang Feng, the disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association fought valiantly and high spiritedly against the enemies.

They uniformly executed the ”Seventeen Styles of Armor Breaking”, ”Tiger Ben Slash Array”, and ”Six Harmonies Saber Array”. These exquisite arrays and techniques complemented each other, unleashing tremendous power.

In an instant, the cries of battle at Flying Tiger Pass shook the heavens, reverberating across the skies, attempting to dispel the autumn gloom completely.

In the grueling battle, Shi Feiyang and the others constantly monitored the Five Poison Sect’s attack methods, adjusting their strategies flexibly.

When the Five Poison Sect released their poison creatures, ”Iron Flute Scholar” Xiang Kun quickly took out his iron flute, playing a strange and enchanting melody.

The sound was like an invisible force, swirling in the air, instantly halting the previously frantic creatures, making them obey Xiang Kun’s command, turning to attack the Five Poison Sect’s own people.

Should the enemy use poison techniques, Shi Feiyang and the others remained unflustered, distributing beforehand-prepared antidotes to everyone, while cleverly avoiding the assault of the toxic mists using protective measures.

With unity and close cooperation, they successfully repelled the Five Poison Sect’s revenge attempts time and again, as if an indestructible wall safeguarding the peace of Flying Tiger Pass.

On an autumnal night, the cool moonlight draped Flying Tiger Pass with a silvery veil.

The distant forest rustled with the autumn wind, and the occasional cries of night owls added a touch of eeriness to the tranquil night.

However, this tranquility was about to be shattered by a brutal bloody battle.

The failure of the first large-scale retaliation did not deter the Five Poison Sect but instead spurred their desire for revenge even more fiercely.

At this moment, they were meticulously plotting a more dangerous poisonous mist raid.

Under the cover of night, a group of nimble Five Poison Sect followers, skilled in Lightweight Technique, dashed out from the woods like phantoms.

Dressed in black, blending into the night, each carried a bag filled with specially crafted poisonous mist bombs.

These bombs, meticulously created by the Five Poison Sect, were encased in hard black iron, engraved with mysterious runes, and filled inside with highly toxic black powder.

Like a tide of black, they swiftly approached Flying Tiger Pass.

Upon reaching an optimal distance from the pass, the leading follower gave the order, and the group launched the poisonous mist bombs towards Flying Tiger Pass.

The bombs traced arcs through the air before hitting the ground like raindrops.

Upon impact, the bombs exploded with a dull sound, releasing billowing black smoke.

The black smoke, as if alive, rapidly spread, the air reeking with a pungent stench wherever it reached.

Containing potent poison, the smoke not only caused immediate unconsciousness but also exhibited strong corrosive properties.

Under the smoke’s erosion, the grass around the pass withered instantly, green leaves turning yellow and curling, dropping like rain; the ground corroded into deep, bottomless pits, as if clawed by a demon’s talons.

Meanwhile, the main force of the Five Poison Sect surged towards Flying Tiger Pass like tumultuous waves, taking advantage of the toxic mist.

Holding various weapons, shouting slogans, they exuded an imposing momentum. These followers, after prolonged training, coordinated flawlessly, forming tight-knit combat groups, launching a fierce assault on the Heroic Sakura Association’s defenses.
