Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

"court death!"

Mu Gongfeng took a step forward, tearing through the void, and stood directly in front of the damaged flower basket, his spiritual power erupting like a volcano.

The immense spiritual power instantly condensed into a water-colored light shield.

Thousands of flying swords and lightning dragons roared on the light shield.

boom--

As the aquamarine light shield trembled slightly, its light intensified!

The lightning dragon roared to the sky and disintegrated and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Thousands of flying swords flew out like raindrops, scattering all over the ground. Lu Zhuo groaned and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His legs gave way and he fell downwards!

“…Lu Zhuo!” Feng Qianli leaped and caught Lu Zhuo, who was about to fall due to the backlash from the flying sword causing his spiritual energy to become unstable.

"...Thanks, Lao Feng...Be careful!" Lu Zhuo had just steadied himself and stepped onto the flying sword when he caught a glimpse of the flying sword in front of him being shaken apart. His pupils contracted and he shouted.

Feng Qianli noticed even earlier, and as he pushed Lu Zhuo away, he slashed out with his sword!

The snowflakes, soaring into the sky and penetrating the earth, fell everywhere, piercing through layers of lightning and piercing through Feng Qianli's flesh and blood!

Arms, knees, abdomen... all riddled with bloody holes from the ice picks! It was a horrifying sight!

"Ah!" Feng Qianli gritted his teeth, shouted, and swept his sword horizontally, unleashing a burst of lightning that shattered the frost around him.

Click!

An ice spike pierced his shoulder blade, the heavy sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. Exhausted, Feng Qianli flew backward and plummeted. Even though Lu Zhuo blocked him with his sword, he still crashed heavily into the mountain wall.

"You mere Nascent Soul cultivators, how dare you contend with a Nascent Soul cultivator!" Amidst the billowing dust, Mu Gongfeng's chilling voice echoed.

Behind him, the damaged flower basket and the ancient treasure floated silently. Although there were several cracks on the basket and the seven-colored gems were dull, it was not completely destroyed.

The ancient treasure flower basket was taken back by Mu Gongfeng with a flick of his sleeve.

The Shennong Cauldron flew back into Rong Shu's hands. She glanced at it; the cauldron was still dim, but fortunately, it was undamaged.

"Ants are ants after all." Mu Gongfeng looked down at them, his eyes no longer mocking, but filled with icy killing intent: "I admit that I underestimated you, the heroes and geniuses of the previous generation, but this ends here!"

"You have destroyed my ancient treasure; you deserve to die a thousand deaths! Now—"

He raised his right hand and slowly closed his five fingers.

"The little game of pretend is over!"

The array patterns of the Heavenly Net and Earthly Binding Array lit up one by one, sealing off all four directions: east, west, south, and north! Rong Shu and the other three were now like birds in a cage!

With the array being personally activated by a powerful cultivator at the Integration Stage, its power is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than before!

"Pfft—" On the other side, Xing Xue coughed up a string of blood and her breath weakened. Rong Shu rushed over and supported her around the waist.

"Open your mouth." Rong Shu immediately fed the person the pill.

Xing Xue said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, I tried my best..."

She could no longer suppress the power of "water turning to ice," and could only watch helplessly as Mu Gongfeng raised his hand, mobilizing the ice and snow of this world to construct a vast and frigid ice and snow domain.

The four reunited, supporting each other.

The protective bell on Rong Shu's wrist emitted several crisp sounds, and a defensive array appeared, enveloping the four of them and resisting the erosion of ice and snow from the outside world.

Lu Zhuo flicked his fingertips, summoning a flying sword, which the three of them then stepped on to conserve their spiritual energy.

Lu Zhuo: [What do we do now?]

Feng Qianli: [The Heavenly Net and Earthly Binding Formation is now complete, which is even more disadvantageous for us.]

Xing Xue swallowed two Five Elements Spirit Pills specifically designed to restore ice spiritual energy: [With the enhancement of the formation, the power of turning water into ice has increased fivefold; it will be difficult for me to restrain him any longer.]

Rong Shu took out a bunch of black bottles and jars: [Give me a little more time! Distract this old man!]

[Since we can't beat him, let's poison him! Even if we don't kill him, it'll prevent him from using his spiritual energy to chase us for a while, buying us more time!]

There has been no news from Si Chenbi and Duan Yuyan.

But thinking of Xiao Duan, who always proved reliable in crucial moments, and Si Chenbi's mastery of the Si family's secret techniques and formations... no news is good news!

Rong Shu thought for a moment, then quietly took out three unused Nightmare Pearls: [Take these. These are Nightmare Pearls, sealed with Nightmare Qi. You should understand the threat Nightmare Qi poses to cultivators. When the time comes, listen for my signal and throw the Nightmare Pearls at that old man!]

[Nightmare... Nightmare energy? Is there nightmare energy inside?] Lu Zhuo almost dropped the Nightmare Pearl because his hand trembled.

Rong Shu was carrying a time bomb with him?

Feng Qianli: [Okay! I'll listen to you.]

Xing Xue silently put away the Nightmare Pearl.

The three were shocked, but they didn't ask any more questions about why Rong Shu would hide such a deadly thing.

Rong Shu gave one last instruction: "[After you throw away the Nightmare Pearl, run as far as you can. Leave the rest to me!]"

The three of them responded in unison: "[Okay!]"

The Heart-Protecting Bell flashed, creating another layer of isolation array for Rong Shu, shielding him from all outside prying eyes.

The Shennong Cauldron was taken out again.

With a wave of his hand, the fire of the Earth's core lotus rose up.

Next came the various strange and unusual poisons that Rong Shu had collected over the years.

For those with a mischievous mindset, not very harmful but extremely insulting: Spewing Foul Language Pill, Five Grains Reincarnation Pill, Stinky Fart Pill, Mouth Transfer Pill, Pain Sensation Hundredfold Pill, Woof Woof Pill, Toad Pill... Let's get started!

Extremely poisonous, capable of killing on contact with blood: Three Pure Ones Forget-Origin Powder, Ten Thousand Poisons Entangling Heart Powder, Heavenly Punishment Soul-Destroying Incense, Gathering Evil Demon Transformation Pill, Seven Killings Heart-Breaking Pill... Arrange them!

Dozens of highly toxic elixirs were refined and fused together again by the Earth Core Lotus Fire.

The toxicity was so great and so potent that even Rong Shu could not have predicted it.

The successfully extracted venom was a mixture of blue, purple, and black... a multicolored black that, without close inspection, would appear as a small spoonful of gloomy black water.

Rong Shu had never poisoned a Nascent Soul cultivator before, and he didn't know if such a potent poison would even work.

The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the less likely they are to be poisoned.

Firstly, it is difficult to penetrate. Whether it is a cultivator's skin, flesh, bones, or protective spiritual energy, ordinary poisons have a hard time penetrating, let alone poisoning someone.

"...There's still one thing missing: the ability to break through Mu Gongfeng's protective spiritual energy so that the strange poison can fully take effect within his body!"

"...Then let's add the Nightmare Energy from the Nightmare Pearl! Combined with the newly refined rare poison, it will be called the Corrupting Spirit Powder!"

Aside from the one given to Lu Zhuo and the other two, Rong Shu still has four Nightmare Beads on him at this moment.

Nightmare energy can be fatal to cultivators!

Even cultivators at the Mahayana stage must be extremely cautious when facing Nightmare Qi.

However, once the nightmare energy inside the nightmare pearl is released, it becomes uncontrollable by Rong Shu. He can only attach explosive talismans to the nightmare pearl and then embed the three nightmare pearls into specially made arrows.

The surface of the arrowhead was coated with a corrosive agent.

Then, Rong Shu drew his bow and nocked an arrow, focused his mind, and tried to aim at the direction of Mu Gongfeng.

She only gets one chance.

Success is the only option; failure is not an option!
