After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

The gloomy mountain forest was filled with swirling poisonous fog.

Deep within lies a dark mountain stronghold, teeming with poisonous people, so densely packed that just one glance is enough to send chills down your spine.

The Shen father and daughter were tied to the central pillar, surrounded by piles of firewood.

"Hehehe! Chen Futu, now you know why I'm not in a hurry, right? They can't survive. The poison will kill them without a doubt. But they can't die so easily. I'm going to burn them to ashes right in front of you."

The shadow leaped onto the roof and shouted, "Look! His Majesty the Great Sage Emperor has come in person!"

Upon hearing this, the drug addicts rushed out of the village in a flurry, their eyes filled with an even more ferocious look.

Shen Lu and Shen San were tied to the wooden frame and were already on the verge of death. Just as Shadow had said, the poison had invaded their internal organs, and if a miracle did not happen, they would surely die.

"Chen Futu, this is the sin you have committed!"

After saying this, Shadow ordered the fire to be lit. The poisonous man quickly ignited the firewood, and flames rose from the ground.

"Your Majesty, help me—"

When Shen San saw Chen Futu, he weakly cried out for help.

Shen Lu raised her pale face and gave a miserable smile, "Your Majesty, please leave quickly, don't worry about us."

She was pleased that Chen Futu had come in person, but the Great Sage Emperor was so noble that he absolutely could not die at the hands of these filthy people.

"Tian Shu, save them!"

Without hesitation, Chen Futu, sword in hand, and Dongfang Bubai leaped onto the stage.

Strangely, the shadow did not stop the two from rescuing the Shen family father and daughter.

After Chen Futu and Dongfang Bubai untied Shen San and Shen Lu, a thick layer of poison suddenly erupted from their bodies, and Chen Futu and Dongfang Bubai were caught off guard and inhaled the dense poisonous fog.

"See? See? This is retribution!"

"Chen Futu, you are not getting away today."

Shadow shouted excitedly, which was why he didn't kill the father and daughter or stop Chen Futu from rescuing them. He had secretly hidden his killing move on the father and daughter.

"Heh, I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve? Is this all?"

Chen Futu chuckled and gave the Creation Pill to Dongfang Bubai and the Shen family father and daughter. Dongfang Bubai's sluggish breathing immediately eased, and even the complexion of the heavily poisoned father and daughter recovered.

"Impossible! My poison is invincible!"

The shadow was so angry that it shouted and yelled.

"Tch, it's just trash poison. Even if your second brother is invincible, it's useless. Now that the person has been saved, we'll leave."

Chen Futu smiled and, with Shen San in tow, prepared to unleash his great lightness skill upon Dongfang Bubai.

"Chen Futu, you dare to play me! I'll kill you, kill—"

Shadow was furious, his voice cracking with rage. With a command, the sound of chains echoed from the depths of the stronghold. Looking up, he saw a burly, venomous man charging towards them, his strength no less than that of Yama.

"I'm not playing with you anymore, let's go. *Shooting star!*"

Holding Xiaoqing in his arms, Chen Futu pulled Shen Sanru along and shot into the sky in a streak of black light, breaking through two or three hundred meters above the poisonous forest.

Dongfang Bubai gave the shadow a contemptuous smile, and then took Shen Lu and followed Chen Futu.

"You two bastards!"

The shadow was furious.

There aren't many people in the martial arts world who know great lightness skills, and to have the ability to stay suspended in mid-air is at least at the Martial Venerable level. Chen Futu, a Martial Emperor, actually has great lightness skills and even rushed up a hundred meters into the air. He's just playing with him.

In fact, Shadow himself was not weak. With the help of the poison, he reached the late stage of the Martial Empress realm and was able to escape from Dongfang Bubai. Even with the help of the poisonous fog, such a feat was worth showing off. Unfortunately, as powerful as he was, he did not know the great lightness skill and could only watch helplessly as the two of them ran away.

Having suffered a loss at the hands of the drought demon in the desert, Chen Futu would hardly be so foolish as to confront the enemy head-on on their home turf.

In mid-air, Shen Lu was held in Dongfang Bubai's hand, staring at Chen Futu with infatuation. Dongfang Bubai frowned and said, "If you look again, I will gouge your eyes out."

Shen Lu was startled and quickly lowered her head, not daring to utter a sound.

Chen Futu transmitted his voice, "Tian Shu, don't be so fierce, she's still a little girl."

"Your Majesty, I've heard you have quite a few women. Please take care of your health."

"Oh, so our leader also wants to test my power?"

"Humph……"

Dongfang Bubai turned his head to look elsewhere.

A few people landed shortly after, and the Imperial Guards ran over from a distance.

Chen Futu said, "Order the King of the Western Regions to seal off the mountain with his army, prepare strong bows and crossbows, and kill them all! Even if you have to burn the mountain, you must wipe out these poisonous people."

"Here!"

The Imperial Guards obeyed the order and left. Within half a day, the army had sealed off the mountains and forests.

Upon hearing that the poisoners intended to wreak havoc on the Western Regions, Zhao Xier immediately set fire to the mountain.

Flames soared into the sky, and countless poisonous creatures burst forth from the mountains. The army was prepared, and arrows rained down like a storm. Corpses littered the mountains and fields, and the poison spread like a tidal wave, almost engulfing the outer ranks of the army.

Zhang Sanfeng personally used Tai Chi Qi to envelop the surrounding area, while Xuanyuan Lie unusually lent out the Drought Demon. The Drought Demon and the Copper Armor Corpse rushed into the sea of ​​fire to fight, one against Yama and the other against the burly poison man. If Chen Futu hadn't been holding Xiaobai back, she would have rushed in too.

The shadow stood amidst the sea of ​​fire, and only then could Chen Futu clearly see his appearance: a young man whose body was corroded by deadly poison, his eyes filled with an intense, unyielding hatred. He roared shrilly at Chen Futu amidst the army formation, "Chen Futu, I will haunt you even as a ghost! My father-in-law will avenge me!"

"Hey, the older one came out after the younger one was beaten."

Chen Futu was speechless for a moment, then asked Zhao Xier, "Who is his father-in-law?"

"It should be a member of the royal family of Longman who is away from home. His father-in-law is the Holy Lord of Southern Xinjiang. When it comes to using poison, no one in Southern Xinjiang dares to claim to be number one. So it was Southern Xinjiang that supported Longman's operation this time."

"The southern border is not currently under my control. Are they very strong?"

“Very strong.” Zhao Xi’er said with a serious expression. “It is said that the Southern Border is most skilled in witchcraft, poisons and puppets. Among the puppet making, there are also methods of making poisonous people. After the battle, we can search around and perhaps find the method of making poisonous people, which is most suitable for dealing with those heinous Jianghu people.”

Dongfang Bubai deeply agreed. She wanted to rebuild Blackwood Cliff and re-establish the Sun Moon Divine Sect. If she obtained the puppet-making and poison-making techniques, she would use the most wicked people in the martial arts world as her team to refine them, which would also be considered as settling the world's karma.

Chen Futu did not refuse; he would talk about it after the fight was over.

On the battlefield, Yama was no match for Hanba. With the surrounding fire, Hanba, who was naturally fond of fire, became extremely excited. He punched and smashed the heads growing from the tumors one after another, and finally tore Yama's fat body apart with his claw.

In terms of combat power, Hanba completely overwhelms Yama. After all, even if Zhang Sanfeng didn't go all out, he couldn't cut off Hanba's head with a single sword strike.

As for the poisonous man, it was completely futile for him to swing his sledgehammer at the bronze-armored corpse. The bronze-armored corpse's physique was comparable to that of the drought demon, but it was not as ferocious in combat as the drought demon.

After the drought demon dealt with Yama, it joined forces with the copper-armored corpse to attack from both sides, quickly annihilating the man. The two corpses then turned their attention to the shadow.

The shadow can't escape.

Xiao Bai, Dongfang Bubai, and Wang Zhaojun were all watching him from the outside, along with two terrifying puppeteers, Zhang Sanfeng, and Xuanyuan Lie, who was watching the show with his gourd.

With such a luxurious lineup, let alone a mere Martial Emperor like him, even the Ancient Palace would have to get slapped twice before leaving.
