King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 862 - 250: Shadows of Battle and Poisoned Fragrance in the Haunted Woods (Part 4)

She bowed gracefully to Shi Feiyang, then turned around, leading the group in a spirited march towards the direction of Wulang City.

Shi Feiyang watched Yili’s departing figure, his gaze full of encouragement and support.

Once the group was far away, Shi Feiyang turned around to join the Xiong Ying heroes in handling the aftermath of the battlefield.

They gathered the corpses one by one, piled them together, and then set them on fire.

Blazing flames shot up into the sky, and black smoke rolled, narrating the brutality of this bloody battle.

Afterward, the group moved a thousand meters away, setting up camp.

Shi Feiyang was in no hurry to leave this dreamy grassland; he seemed to have plans yet to be completed in his heart.

Lan Xiaodie used her Lightweight Technique, like a blue phantom, fleeing over ten miles away.

She saw no one around, and only then did she slowly land. She carefully took out the Five Poison Scripture from her bosom, her hands trembling slightly, her eyes full of tension and anticipation.

However, when she opened the cover, she found that the content inside was a Tao Te Ching.

Lan Xiaodie’s eyes widened instantly, her face full of astonishment and anger.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Well, Shi Feiyang, you dare to play tricks on me like this! How stupid I am, falling for your treachery repeatedly!"

She felt deep regret, knowing that because of this matter, she had formed deep enmity with Jianghu scum like Xie Zhichuan, Zhong Renwang, and Dugu Yan.

She couldn’t help but sigh up to the sky, "Oh, it’s all my long hair and short knowledge’s fault, repeatedly trying to kill Shi Feiyang, but being dealt with thoroughly by him instead."

Just then, a chilling laugh suddenly came, like a night owl’s screech, sending chills down the spine.

Lan Xiaodie’s heart was startled, and she quickly turned around.

She saw Xie Zhichuan surrounded by blazing flames, the fire dark red, emitting rolling heat waves, precisely his Kunlun Flame Technique. The heat waves came rushing forward, as if to melt Lan Xiaodie instantly.

Lan Xiaodie only felt her breath quickening, the moisture in her body seeming to evaporate completely in the high heat. She inwardly exclaimed that something was wrong and wanted to escape, but found her legs seemed nailed in place, unable to move an inch.

Xie Zhichuan approached Lan Xiaodie step by step, a sinister smile on his face, he said, "Lan Xiaodie, today you finally fall into my hands! You colluded with Shi Feiyang, ruining my plans, today is your death day!"

Lan Xiaodie felt despair in her heart, but still forcibly maintained composure, shouting, "Xie Zhichuan, don’t be complacent, even if I, Lan Xiaodie, die today, I won’t let you have it easy!" While speaking, she secretly harnessed her power, trying to find a ray of hope.

Lan Xiaodie was tightly enveloped by the heat waves of Xie Zhichuan’s Kunlun Flame Technique, feeling unbearably hot all over, as if inside a fiercely burning furnace. Though her heart was extremely hopeless, as the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect, the stubbornness and resilience in her bones made her unwilling to await death passively. Her eyes were wide open, staring at Xie Zhichuan approaching step by step, her mind rapidly devising an escape plan.

Xie Zhichuan’s face held a fierce cold smile, like a wolf watching prey fall into a trap.

While slowly approaching, he mocked, "Lan Xiaodie, today you can’t escape with your wings! Fu Anxing was my benefactor; you killed Fu Anxing, and naturally, I shall avenge her, hum, you better prepare to die!"

As he approached, the rolling heat waves became even more turbulent, the air around Lan Xiaodie roasted until distorted, the grass on the ground instantly withered, turned into charred black. Lan Xiaodie took a deep breath, enduring the discomfort brought by the heat waves, secretly practicing the Inner Power Heart Method of the Five Poison Sect.

She only felt a cold breath rising slowly inside her body, counteracting the high heat outside.

However, Xie Zhichuan’s Kunlun Flame Technique was too dominant, and Lan Xiaodie’s resistance seemed somewhat labored.

Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, her face growing paler, but her eyes became more determined.

Suddenly, Lan Xiaodie had a bright idea and came up with a plan. She knew well that her poison techniques were hard to exert their full power under this high heat, but perhaps she could exploit Xie Zhichuan’s fear of poison to find a ray of hope.

She quietly pulled out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, the bottle containing the Five Poison Sect’s most lethal "Soul-devouring Poison Powder".

This poison powder is colorless and tasteless; once inhaled, it causes confusion, leaving a person at anyone’s mercy.

Lan Xiaodie pretended to be exhausted, her legs weakening, slowly kneeling down. Her head hung down, her hair scattered messily on her face, covering the sparkle in her eyes. Seeing this, Xie Zhichuan rejoiced, thinking Lan Xiaodie had lost the strength to resist.

He quickened his pace, suddenly reaching out his right hand, intending to take Lan Xiaodie’s life.

Just as Xie Zhichuan’s hand nearly touched Lan Xiaodie, she suddenly lifted her head, determination flashing in her eyes.

She swiftly uncorked the porcelain bottle, shook her wrist, and vigorously scattered the "Soul-devouring Poison Powder" towards Xie Zhichuan. The poison powder, carried by the heat waves, spread quickly like an invisible mist towards Xie Zhichuan.

Seeing this, Xie Zhichuan’s heart was filled with dread.

He knew the potency of the Five Poison Sect’s toxins well and didn’t dare be careless.

He quickly withdrew his right hand, moved his palms rapidly, fully activating his Kunlun Flame Technique, trying to repel the poison powder.

In an instant, heat waves rolled, flames soared, the poison powder and flames collided, producing a "sizzling" sound, a pungent smell filled the air. Taking advantage of Xie Zhichuan dealing with the poison powder, Lan Xiaodie inhaled deeply, executing the Five Poison Sect’s "Spiritual Snake Flash" Lightweight Technique.
