Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 791 The Autumn Killing of Crows

Zhong Yunxiu spoke sharply and urgently, and as soon as she finished speaking, the group of men in black fell silent, heads bowed, their expressions showing a hint of shame.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain, we... have nothing to say..." Mo Jie said bitterly, "Kill me or torture me... do as you please."

Among this group, his cultivation level is considered top-tier.

But no matter how strong he is, he is only at the half-step grandmaster level.

If only one grandmaster intercepts.

If they fight desperately, maybe a few of them can escape.

But now...

They were surrounded and pursued by wolves in front, and threatened by musket formations behind them.

The two masters stared at each other, one in front and one behind.

They were at a complete disadvantage in terms of manpower, equipment, and morale.

This enormous disadvantage in overall strength cannot be overcome by a temporary burst of willpower.

After all, the idea of ​​a desperate sliding tackle that instantly disembowels a tiger only exists in stories.

"Kill them? Wouldn't it be a waste to let you die a quick and painless death?" Zhong Yunxiu slowly revealed a cold smile.

"Here you go, eat it! Anyone trying to play tricks... anyone trying to be clever... can try!"

Zhong Yunxiu smiled coldly and waved her hands.

More than a dozen streaks of light shot out and landed gently in front of the group of men in black.

“This…” Mo Jie’s face was bitter, his palm open, he hesitated to move. What landed in his palm was a wax ball that was bright red, like red jade, with a smooth and lustrous sheen.

Although it looks similar to ordinary pills and doesn't have any strange taste.

No matter how you look at it, this could never be a good thing for improving cultivation or detoxifying and healing injuries.

Unfortunately...

He has no choice.

“Eat it, and perhaps… you’ll have a sliver of hope…” Zhong Yunxiu sneered. “Don’t eat it… and you’ll die!!!”

"..."

Mo Jie's face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, tilted his head back, and stuffed the food into his mouth.

Strange to say.

The wax pellet melts instantly upon contact with saliva, flowing down the throat and esophagus into the body's internal organs before entering the bloodstream and rapidly spreading throughout the body.

It seemed as if it were alive, spontaneously rushing towards the vital parts of the body.

One by one, with Mo Jie taking the lead, the group of men in black were forced to swallow the wax pills.

Seeing this, Zhong Yunxiu smiled, indicating her satisfaction.

This bright red wax pill... is called the Three Souls Locking Pill, and it was also made by **.

The three souls, namely Heaven, Earth, and Man, are related to the fundamental vitality and origin of life.

If all three souls are locked up, it's as if the person is completely out of control and at the mercy of others.

This is what makes the Three Souls Locking Technique so terrifying; it doesn't lie in its toxicity or lethality.

Rather, it lies in control. Using the mother and offspring worms as raw materials, supplemented with strange and mutated toxins, once swallowed, the offspring worms will multiply all over the body, completely structurally altering the host's internal organs, leaving the body and mind under the host's control.

This is a physiological, physical change.

No one can break this control unless the holder of the mother insect agrees.

After all, this is no longer an ordinary toxin; it's more like a fusion of biology and toxicology, a combination of both.

Simply extracting blood, testing for toxicity, and administering appropriate detoxification is basically useless.

"It seems everyone is quite sensible..." Zhong Yunxiu smiled, her guard lowered considerably. "You're all smart people, so let's stop talking and clear the way ahead."

Flying Mantis, Earth Dragon Huang Yuanjia, Blue Demon Leg Yong Wu, and Little Red Jade Sun Mengyao are all half-step Grandmasters, just a step away from becoming Grandmasters. Besides these four strongest individuals, there are twelve other ordinary martial artists, making a total of sixteen, a considerable force.

It is roughly equivalent to the entirety of a small to medium-sized power.

After the sect was disbanded, there was already a shortage of manpower to handle various matters.

This time, they captured more than a dozen cannon fodder who were given no money, and even the worst of them were skilled martial artists.

This immediately made up for the shortage of manpower.

Zhong Yunxiu's gloomy mood has also improved considerably.

Mo Jie and the other three exchanged glances, nodded helplessly, and could only step forward to act as the vanguard.

Thump thump thump...

what! !

Just then, a faint gunshot rang out from the nearby woods, followed by shouts and screams.

The convoy stopped abruptly, and everyone's attention focused on Zhong Yunxiu and her daughter Zhong Han.

"Hanhan, your prediction was right. It seems... a big fish has taken the bait..." Zhong Yunxiu's gaze sharpened, her expression cold.

“It’s not my doing,” Zhong Han shook his head. “If it weren’t for Gongsun Di’s reminder, I wouldn’t have thought of that.”

"Let's go. Today we'll see who this traitor who repeatedly betrays the sect's information is!" Zhong Yunxiu said in an unfriendly tone, leading the convoy quickly toward the source of the voice.

On the surface, this resource transfer operation was carried out by the convoy of several dozen people led by Zhong Han.

In reality, the transfer operation was carried out in two ways, one overt and one covert.

Of the convoy that was visible, only Zhong Han was used as a decoy smokescreen.

Secretly, Zhong Yunxiu, Lan Mei, Le Changzhen, and Zhang Lan led a large number of elite troops to secretly support the operation from the outer circle.

Why does a single transfer require such a complicated process? Firstly, these resources are indeed extremely important; they are the most valuable type within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and are crucial to the sect's future rise.

Secondly...

The concern is that there might be internal spies causing trouble, leading to problems with the transfer operation.

So, apart from Zhong Yunxiu and Zhong Han, everyone thought there was only one visible convoy for this operation.

As it turned out, the fishing was successful.

……………

In a clearing in the dense forest.

"Put down your weapons and stop resisting!" Lan Mei drew her bow, squinted, and aimed at her target.

The open space was now littered with severed limbs and dismembered bodies. Many people were still struggling and groaning on the ground. The shallow craters left by bullets were filled with blood, creating a crimson scene that was visually striking from afar. In the middle of the open space stood a woman dressed in black, wielding a long, black and red whip. The whip cracked fiercely, occasionally exploding in the air with a crisp sound, followed by an invisible burst of air that immediately left a transparent blood hole on the victim.

"Get out of the way! Or... die!" The woman in black moved like a ghost, using tree branches and boulders as obstacles to dodge bullets, while large amounts of colorless powder were scattered out.

hiss hiss hiss...

As soon as the powder appeared, it reacted violently with the blood, and a ring of flames suddenly burst forth.

This caused a large group of elite members of the Myriad Beasts Sect to unconsciously retreat.

Fear of fire is an innate trait of demonic beasts.

Even though the wolves they rode were specially trained.

This innate nature remains unchanged.

Just by retreating like that, a gap suddenly appeared in the encirclement.

The woman in black's eyes lit up, and she suddenly rushed towards Lan Mei.

They clearly considered her the weakest point in the encirclement.

"Damn it!"

Lan Mei was startled. After a moment of panic, anger was instantly ignited, and her heart was filled with rage.

Among such a large group of people, she had the highest cultivation level, yet they still targeted her as a weakness?

That's utterly disrespectful!

For a master like Lan Mei, whose main martial art is archery, the drawbacks become apparent at this point.

When attacking from a distance, taking advantage of the terrain, and with long reach, they pose an immense threat, far exceeding that of ordinary grandmasters.

But now, in close-quarters combat, the enemy is still a highly skilled opponent of the same level, making the positioning awkward.

Losing the advantage of striking first and being unable to snipe from a distance, with most of her methods ineffective, greatly reduces her strength from the outset.

Let alone experts of the same level, even a strong martial artist or a half-step grandmaster might not be a match for them.

"Full moon!"

A cold glint flashed in Lan Mei's eyes. A burst of white light erupted beneath her feet, and she leaped high into the air.

laugh…...

The bowstring, infused with dragon tendons, was fully drawn, and the massive bow emitted a creaking sound as it struggled to bear the weight.

The entire bow, like a full moon, was faintly round, drawn to its fullest extent.

A silvery-white light slowly emerged on the arrowhead.

Wisps of strong air gathered, constantly swirling around the black feathered arrow as it flew rapidly. With the blockade formation still barely intact, this was the last chance to unleash a trump card and deliver a fatal blow.

"You really want to die? Then I'll grant your wish!"

The black-winged woman sneered and suddenly lashed out with her long whip.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Countless streams of true energy were unleashed, spiraling and splashing in all directions. Instantly, a large number of elite disciples screamed and howled in agony, collapsing to the ground spitting blood like wheat being harvested.

Swish!

With a sudden flick of her dark red whip, the woman in black soared into the sky. In mid-air, she used the whip to adjust her direction and angle with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, she landed on a boulder in an open space.

"Secret - Cirrus Clouds!"

The woman in black roared, and three huge gray-white tornadoes blasted towards Lan Mei's back.

The landing point was precisely behind Lan Mei, in a blind spot where she couldn't be attacked.

"not good!"

Lan Mei's expression changed, and she tried to change the angle, but it was too late.

She never expected the opponent to be so fast. In just a moment, they broke through all the blockades and easily eliminated most of the elite troops.

"Crow..."

Just then, a woman's shout rang out.

Whoosh...

Several ice-blue crows appeared, their bodies entirely ice-blue and crystal clear. With a large amount of true energy poured into them, they spread their wings, raised their heads, and let out a strange cry.

Then, his jade-like eyes swept across the room, and a flash of blue light appeared on his body, transforming him into several streaks of blue light that rushed towards the woman in black.

Where the streak of light passed, the air became extremely cold, and snow-white ice crystals drifted down.

The moisture that permeated the dense forest was completely frozen in an instant.

"You're lucky! You've hit the jackpot!!"

The woman in black reacted quickly, realizing that reinforcements had arrived. She had no choice but to abandon her attack, flicked her whip, and a blinding golden light exploded out as she charged into the distance.

"...Autumn Kill!"

At this moment, another woman's sweet voice rang out.

All of a sudden.

Centered on the woman in black, a huge hail vortex instantly formed within a ten-meter radius. The vortex spun wildly, constantly drawing out the air, and the airflow and moisture surged in from all directions.

A thin layer of ice instantly appeared over the woman in black's entire body.

Although he could still move, his speed was unnaturally slowed for a moment. Caw!

The crow let out a strange cry, and the blue streak it transformed into instantly attracted and absorbed the hail vortex, its speed increasing several times over, and it pounced on the woman first.

boom! !

After several loud bangs, the area within several dozen meters of the woman was completely stained blue by the cold air.

The air was filled with countless tiny, densely packed ice crystals, and the ground was covered with layers of ice.

Countless snow-white icicles hung from the branches and rocks.

A lifelike ice sculpture, its body seemingly poised to leap into the sky, stands amidst the cold air.
