Chapter 87 Pan Wang (Subscribe)
As the war between the Lich and the Warlock continued, Taoist Bai Lian gradually came to the outside of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and felt that something was wrong.

Not only did the souls disappear from this place, but even the remaining corpses of the two tribes of Lich and Warlock disappeared as well. Even many broken sacred mountains became bare, as if they had been eaten by something.

Not to mention the spiritual roots and herbs, even the ordinary plants and rocks containing spiritual energy disappeared, leaving only a wasteland, as if it had become a deserted place where no life existed.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Taoist Bai Lian was planning to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains to take a look.

But suddenly, he heard a low sound of wind and thunder coming from behind, and then golden light spots like stars flew out from the air, densely packed, as if countless rays of light spread out, showing a golden glow.

"Where did such a vicious poisonous insect come from?" Taoist Bai Lian's eyes narrowed.

These golden spots of light are not just spots of light. They are clearly golden poisonous insects as big as needles, densely packed in a large area.

"Who is your Excellency!"

"Why are you using poisonous insects to harass me?"

Seeing no response after a while, Taoist Bai Lian waved the Southern Lidi Yanguang Banner in his hand, and shot out a divine light, which fell into the depths of the Gu worms. He sneered and said, "Since fellow Taoist is unwilling to show up, then I have no choice but to kill these Gu worms and see how you can harass me!"

However, countless golden poisonous insects suddenly moved, and densely packed golden poisonous insects gathered together, chirping one after another. The sound was like the sound of spring silkworms eating leaves, and when gathered together, it was like thunder, shaking the earth.

Facing the divine light emitted by Taoist Bai Lian, the overwhelming golden poisonous insects were like a golden light curtain, scrambling to devour the divine light.

In a flash, the divine light was completely devoured.

"Haha, I can't believe that a cultivator who has not yet stepped into the realm of quasi-saint can have a treasure that can confuse yin and yang, reverse the five elements, and disrupt his own destiny. Even I can't figure out your origins." As the words rang out, a cultivator appeared from the poisonous insect.

This person was covered in a black cloak, giving people a very strange feeling, and his whole body was covered with gray mist.

If you look closely, you will find that these gray things are not fog, but smaller poisonous insects, mixed with several strange laws, turning into a magical power similar to the protective divine light.

"King Pan?" Taoist Bai Lian suddenly remembered the name of a great master with supernatural powers.

This Pan Wang is an innate god and demon follower, and is one of the three thousand cultivators in Zixiao Palace together with Li Xuanyang.

However, King Pan is different from the great masters of the Qigong lineage. He did not gain enlightenment through the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, but practiced the art of poisonous insects and plagues.

"You can actually recognize my name?"

King Pan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. He looked Taoist Bai Lian up and down and said, "No wonder you, a mere Daluo Jinxian cultivator, dare to act like this. It seems you have nothing to fear."

"But you and I should be of the same mind, both wanting to use the corpses of the two Wu clans as spiritual materials. I wonder if what I said is right!"

"I am a low-level Taoist, how dare I be compared with King Pan." Taoist Bai Lian chuckled. This trip was only to collect the souls and bodies of the two tribes of wizards and liches to use them to refine the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword. It was not to make friends with anyone, let alone to find out who they were from.

"Your cultivation is low!" Pan Wang laughed strangely and said, "Well, since you don't want to associate with me, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you do me a favor, I will let you go immediately. How about that?"

"What's the matter?"

"Let me borrow the spiritual flag in your hand!"

Hearing this, Taoist Bai Lian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Daoist friend, are you joking?"

"If I lend this spiritual flag to you, how can I conceal my own secrets? Once discovered by the Lich and the Wizard Clan, I will be no match for Di Jun, Tai Yi, Di Jiang and the others."

"What's more, if fellow Taoist borrows it and doesn't return it, I will lose a spiritual flag in vain." After saying this, Taoist Bai Lian's feet flashed with cloud light, and he went out of the mountain, not intending to cause any trouble.

"Leave the spiritual flag behind!" King Pan acted decisively. The overwhelming golden poisonous insects were like a golden light curtain, sweeping towards Taoist Bai Lian.

He could vaguely feel that although this Taoist Bai Lian seemed to have only the magical powers of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, he gave him a very strange feeling.

Taoist Bai Lian had been prepared for this. A white divine light appeared on his body, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, a three-foot-three-inch-long sword hung high.

Taoist Bai Lian formed a Taoist seal with his hands and pointed at the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword. Immediately, a crisp sword sound was heard. The Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword suddenly changed, turning into sword threads as thin as cicada wings and as small as needles, which spread all over the sky. They were much smaller than the light transformed by the poisonous insect.

Suddenly, it shot up into the sky. Countless sword threads, like a thin layer of mist, crashed into the golden insects with a series of sword sounds. Then, a series of extremely tiny wailing sounds were heard. Whenever a golden insect touched the sword threads, it fell to the ground one after another, as if it were raining.

Instantly, a layer of needle-sized golden Gu worms lay on the ground. Their bodies were a crimson-gold color, with twelve wings on their backs, transparent yet faintly streaked with golden threads. They had nine eyes and nine claws, and their bodies were covered in extremely fine golden hairs. From their mouths, they spewed a transparent straw, specifically designed to suck the spirits of living cultivators. Beneath their mouths, a pair of giant claws flashed with a cold gleam, capable of devouring even the flesh of a great witch of the Wu clan, as well as the spiritual treasures of Qi cultivators and demons.

But at this time, there was a sword mark between the chest and abdomen of these poisonous insects that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and wisps of fishy-smelling light green thick juice, which contained plague poison, flowed out. Even the soil and rocks on the ground were corroded and smoking.

Fortunately, the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Eating Sword is also extremely vicious.

In a short while, the corpses of these poisonous insects were devoured by the remaining sword energy, leaving only an empty shell. Blown by the breeze, it turned into dust and disappeared.

With just one sword strike, almost half of the golden poisonous insects that were like a light curtain died. The remaining golden poisonous insects were extremely spiritual. When they saw the sword thread wrapping around them, they immediately fled in all directions and escaped behind King Pan.

"What?" Pan Wang's eyes turned cold. Although he was very surprised, he did not panic. He simply collected the remaining insects and shouted at Taoist Bai Lian, "What kind of sword skill is this?"

"It can actually restrain my soul-devouring insect!"

It’s not that King Pan’s golden poisonous insect is not ferocious enough, but that he happened to encounter the Moon-Devouring Soul-Eating Sword and the Sword Qi Thread.

Otherwise, the overwhelming swarm of golden poisonous insects would be able to devour even the protective divine light of a powerful person.

Moreover, the sword threads that Taoist Bai Lian had just used were a method he had already thought of to control the poisonous insects.

If it were another cultivator at the Golden Immortal level, he would definitely not be able to resist this golden poisonous insect.

"This is the Taixuan Sword Scripture!" Taoist Bailian waved his hand and took back the Swallowing Moon Soul-Devouring Sword. He looked at King Pan calmly and said, "Although your Gu insect method is very fierce, even I dare not easily fall into it and face the countless Gu insects gnawing at me."

"But my Taixuan Sword Scripture is unparalleled in its attack and destructive power. It can transform into billions of sword threads. With each entanglement, not to mention a few poisonous insects, even the spiritual treasures refined by great masters can be reduced to dust."

"Taixuan Sword Scripture!" Pan Wang's expression changed slightly, and billions of poisonous insects and laws around him manifested. He said coldly, "So this is the sword magic passed down by Daoist Fellow Xuanyang from the East Sea. It is indeed extraordinary!"

"For the sake of Fellow Daoist Xuanyang, please leave the spiritual flag behind, and I will not bother about killing the poisonous insect just now."

As he spoke, the billions of poisonous insects and laws surrounding King Pan transformed into countless clouds of light. "Although I am known as King Pan, I am also proficient in plagues and curses. No matter how sharp your sword is, the Taixuan Sword Sutra is unparalleled in its attack."

"But if I wanted to kill you, it would only take a thought. Even if Li Xuanyang showed up in person, you wouldn't be able to escape unscathed."

"Haha, you are so arrogant, fellow Taoist." Taoist Bai Lian chuckled and said, "Originally, I didn't want to cause any more trouble, and I even planned to give in."

"But since you are speaking like this, I would like to see the mystery of the plague and curse!"

"Really?" King Pan didn't get angry. He just sneered and said, "Then I will let you get what you want."

"The sword you used to kill the poisonous insect just now happened to be contaminated with the principles of my Great Plague."

As soon as he finished speaking, the countless clouds of light and billions of poisonous insects evolved from King Pan transformed into a strange pattern in the air. In the center, a precious orb emerged, its spiritual light dimmed, and it evolved into the law of the Great Plague, falling into the void, and finally fell towards Taoist Bai Lian and the Moon-Devouring Soul Sword.

This precious pearl is only the size of a fist and is called Panwang Pearl. It is the magic tool used by Panwang to achieve enlightenment, and it carries his Taoist fruits and the laws of the Great Dao.

The Great Way of Plague encompasses everything, and was developed and perfected by King Pan using the Way of Plague, the Way of Curse, the Way of Gu, and so on.

"The law of the Great Way of Plague!" Taoist Bai Lian frowned, and felt an extremely strange force emanating from the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword, and eroding his soul and body along the soul's magic power.

"Humph, little Doyle!"

"The innate divine light of purification!" Taoist Bai Lian shouted softly, and the innate divine light of purification in his body shot up into the sky and enveloped his entire body.

In an instant, the strange power seemed to wail and turned into a puff of green smoke.

"Innate Divine Light?" Pan Wang laughed and said, "Don't waste your efforts. Your sword..."

However, before Pangu could finish his words, thousands of eyes suddenly appeared on the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword, and they all opened, emitting gray divine light. The strange laws remaining on the sword were immediately assimilated by the chaotic energy and disappeared.
