Chapter 67: Calculations

  The poison in the body is unknown where it comes from, and the unknown is the most terrifying. At this moment, the morale of the Luoshui Sect is low, if not for the persistence in their hearts, they would have dispersed long ago.

  "Are you going to surrender, or do I have to let my men charge in and offer some flesh and blood before we leave?" Lü Ying's smile was radiant, but it looked detestable in the eyes of the Luoshui Sect disciples.

  "We haven't lost yet, why are you so arrogant!" Lin Liting stood at the forefront, her four-stage condensed yuan had greatly enhanced her resistance to toxins. This poison was potent, but its effect on her wasn't as great as it was on others.

  "It's only when one sees the coffin that tears fall; it's only with such bloody facts that people can wake up."

  "Sister, why say so much? These people don't want to surrender, just kill them directly and avoid trouble." Wei Ba licked his lips, his eyes full of bloodthirsty light.

  "Heh heh!"

  The other heretic disciples let out a strange laugh, the previously suppressed cruelty, now it's their turn to bully their opponents, how can they not be delighted.

  "Kill!"

  Someone shouted, and the evil sect disciples rushed over. The Luoshui Sect disciples looked flustered, and although the toxins in their bodies were quickly cleared by their true energy, some still remained. Moreover, the external source of poison was still constantly eroding their bodies, so they had to use part of their true energy to protect their heart meridians. In this situation, their combat strength would inevitably decrease, not even reaching 80% of their original level, and in severe cases, it might be less than 60%.

  Fighting against the evil sect disciples is a matter of life and death. If their combat strength drops by two or three tenths, how can they still fight? What's there to fight for? Some Luo Shui Sect disciples have already begun to think about retreating, but they still hold onto a glimmer of hope in their hearts. There are still people and horses in the rear carriages, and Wang Shi Lin is not dead, just trapped. As long as they can drag things out for some time, there may still be a chance for victory.

  "Despicable means, thinking they can win over us with this? Laughable!" Zhao Shi burst forth from the crowd and intercepted a heretic disciple, his long whip swinging down. This kind of bravery was not for the sake of the masses, but rather he had no choice. If they were to disperse, although he had the ability to save himself, it would be uncertain. It's better to charge forward like this, gaining time, and if successful, might even gain the support of the masses.

  That evil sect disciple's face twisted in a scowl, his hand raised with his weapon, only to find himself unable to move. His heart was shocked and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and his face changed color drastically.

  "Not bad, worth my move. Killing an elite disciple like you is what's truly enjoyable!" With a loud laugh, the whip was suddenly grasped by Wei Ba. Zhao Shi sneered and pulled back, revealing the saw-toothed lash that had sliced through Wei Ba's palm, leaving it bloody.

  Wei Ba was taken aback, then burst out laughing, put his palm to his mouth and licked it, "Let me bleed, I don't know if all your blood is enough to compensate for these!" As soon as the words were spoken, he rushed out and swung down a hammer.

  Zhao Shi did not dare to be careless, although his combat strength was not much different from that of an ordinary fourth-stage cultivator, but when facing a top-notch fourth-stage cultivator, he had to be careful. Moreover, he could only dodge and weave, and if he really wanted to confront him head-on, he still didn't have the ability to do so. As his body turned around, he easily dodged Wei Ba's attack, while the long whip in his hand swung forward. The fourth-stage superior treasure, the Yilong Whip, was naturally of the highest quality, and its power was extremely flexible, making it most suitable for use at this moment.

  Lin Liting watched Zhao Shi fight, her hands pinched a spell, and a divine thunderbolt suddenly fell, directly targeting Wei Ba. Upper Court Thunder, for the Thunder Method, it was already entry-level. However, Lin Liting was just starting to learn, and she didn't grasp it well enough, so in battle, she couldn't hit the target. Now that Wei Ba was being held back by someone else, it was just right. If she really did hit him, although she wouldn't be able to heavily injure him, it would definitely affect his strength, making it easier to deal with later on.

  "Whoosh!"

  A sword blade shot up into the sky, dispersing that thunderous attack. Lü Ying walked over with a swaying posture, her beauty was mesmerizing, but now no one went to look at her, and even if they did, it would be to look at the slender sword in her hand, which had just unleashed that blade of light.

  "You're quite leisurely, it seems this poison isn't potent enough." A medicine bottle appeared in Lü Ying's hand, emitting a faint fragrance that wafted out and dissipated into the air, becoming odorless. At this moment, Lü Ying urged it on, and the fragrance emanating from within grew thicker, even Lin Liting could smell its sweetness from afar.

  "This is the source of the poison!" Lin Liting's eyes narrowed as she saw the medicine bottle. As the fragrance grew thicker, the toxin in her body suddenly strengthened. Even holding her breath was useless, it was incredibly potent. Turning around to escape would naturally allow her to get far away from the poisonous drug, but if she didn't resist and just ran away, it would only end up becoming a massacre. On the other hand, destroying this poisonous drug was the best plan.

  The people of the Lower Luo Water Sect also found the medicine bottle, and their expressions revealed a sudden realization. However, Lü Ying's fourth-stage Condensed Yuan Peak cultivation made them dare not approach, hoping that it would only fall into the hands of Lin Liting and others.

  Shen Congyi's knife came to attack the evil sect disciples, flying simultaneously, and helped Huang Wei and others resist the evil sect disciples. As a zombie body, he had a great resistance to this toxin, so this poison had little effect on Shen Congyi, and even had no effect. His combat power was naturally unaffected.

  He looked up at the medicine bottle in Lü Ying's hand, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. The fragrance emitted by the medicine bottle had also been detected by Shen Cong. At the same time, he secretly examined his body and found that the fragrance did not contain any toxins, but instead reacted with a thread of energy left in his body, causing it to transform into a deadly poison.

  "It was that new mosquito coil, was it Ma Lu's doing?" Shen felt a sudden shock in his heart, but at this moment Ma Lu was still on the other side of the camp. However, soon Shen shook his head to dismiss such thoughts. The mosquito coil was just something Ma Lu had ordered someone to buy, and it should be that there was an insider within the Li household. Normally it would not have been noticeable, but now with two non-toxic medicines mixed together, they had produced a highly toxic substance.

  As Lü Ying urged the medicine bottle, the combat strength of the Luoshui Sect's disciples dropped another step, although not as suddenly as before. However, their actual strength was indeed affected and continued to decline. At this rate, the hard-won balance would soon be broken.

  "Hand over that medicine bottle!" Huang Hua sprang up, he was one of Li Sancai's personal bodyguards, his cultivation was at the mid-stage of the fourth stage of Condensing Yuan, but now he suddenly made a fierce move.

  Lin Liting's eyes narrowed, and a flash of lightning seemed to pass through her pupils. The five palm-thunderbolts hung in the air, striking down at Lü Ying. Everything before her eyes was electricity, but Lü Ying's slender sword emitted a blade that deflected all the thunderbolts. However, Huang Huo had also arrived with a loud crash.

  "Boom!"

  A loud explosion sounded in mid-air, and Lü Ying flew out, but the medicine bottle in his hand was still intact. Under the joint attack of the two, he still had such a performance, and Lü Ying's combat power was terrifying.

  "This medicine bottle, I'll take it." Zhao Shi burst out laughing and suddenly appeared beside Lü Ying, unexpectedly snatching the medicine bottle away. Meanwhile, Wei Ba was temporarily trapped by a spiritual symbol on his side, and although he broke free at this moment, he was still one step too late.

  "Great job, Zhao!"

  Someone saw Zhao Shi's success and couldn't help but cheer loudly.

  The toxin in the body is potent, but the effect of the true energy driving out the toxin is quite good. As long as the source of the toxin is removed, the toxin in the body can be eliminated on its own. At that time, combat strength will recover to normal, and it's still hard to say who will win or lose, but compared to before, it's much better than being utterly hopeless.

  Zhao Shi's face was full of pride, as if he would be the first to win in the end. With his cunning, he couldn't help but laugh loudly at the medicine bottle in his hand now.

  "Brother Zhao, quickly destroy the medicine bottle!" Huang Hu was also excited, this crisis seemed to be about to be resolved.

  "It's going to be destroyed!" Zhao Shi smiled, his palm exerted force, the medicine bottle made a sound that couldn't withstand the weight, and it would only take an instant to destroy this medicine bottle.

  Shen Cong looked up and saw that Lü Ying's mouth was curled up in a smile, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, "Not good!" He just wanted to stop Zhao Shi, but the medicine bottle had already shattered. The medicinal powder was wrapped in true energy, transformed into nothingness, and the sweet fragrance disappeared instantly.

  The disciples of the Luoshui sect were all delighted on their faces, but in an instant, their faces changed completely. It was as if someone had stabbed them with a knife and pressed it hard, every part of their body was in pain, blood rushed to their throats, and they could no longer bear it, spitting it out suddenly.

  A bloody mist filled the air, and before it had even fallen to the ground, it was sucked into the formation. The disciples of the Luo Water Sect turned pale, and several of them reacted too slowly, being killed on the spot by the evil sect's disciples. The others, even if they didn't die, were immediately severely injured.

  "How could this be!" Zhao Shi exclaimed in incredulity. Just a moment ago, he had felt a sharp pain inside his body, and although he had spat out blood, his combat strength had plummeted by 30%. Now, even if he was foolish, he could see that everything that had happened earlier was due to the medicine bottle in his hand. The source of the poison had been destroyed, but instead of getting better, his body was actually worse off. How could this have happened?

  Lin Liting and Na Huanghua's faces also changed drastically, thinking that they had reached the turning point, only to find themselves still on the edge of the cliff, and even being pushed forward by someone with great force, just half a step away from falling off. Moreover, their combat strength was also affected, directly reduced by 20%, which was still due to their relatively high cultivation level.

  "Heh heh, how does it feel? I hope to be destroyed by my own hands, this kind of feeling is the most wonderful!" Lü Ying smiled softly, everything was within her plan, not a single detail had gone awry.

  Shen Cong looked up at Lü Ying, his heart slightly chilled. This woman was too terrifying, not only was her cultivation powerful, but also her mind was extremely sinister. The two non-toxic medicinal powders were only toxic when combined, and the mosquito-repelling incense was non-toxic with a shorter retention time in the body, so the amount of mosquito-repelling incense in the bodies of the Luoshui Sect disciples was extremely small. Just now, after being poisoned for the first time, many had already been consumed, all they needed to do was hold on for a moment, wait for the mosquito-repelling incense to dissipate, and naturally there would be no more poison in their bodies, no matter how sweet the fragrance was.

  Lü Ying knew this, so he deliberately took out the medicine bottle to trigger a scramble. The medicine bottle was destroyed, and the toxin in Luoshui Sect's disciples' bodies suddenly lost balance, causing the sweet medicine grass that had been holding back the poison to be cut off, triggering the final explosion of the poisonous medicine. Lü Ying could have done it himself, but instead let Zhao Shi and others do it with their own hands, this kind of mental blow was not light, all the people's morale fell to the lowest point, and in an instant, several people were killed again.

  "It's a pity that the game has ended like this, I haven't had enough fun yet!" Wei Ba laughed loudly.

  "A bunch of poor insects, now tired of playing, all killed. The two of us still have to go to Li Sancai's place, the main matter cannot be forgotten."

  "Sister said that it's better for us if Li Sancai has that thing, it would be a disaster if he doesn't," Wei Ba said with a forced smile.

  "You want me to die, but you have to pay the price first!" Lin Liting shouted loudly, with electric lights swirling around her. Perhaps due to overexertion, her already injured body was now even more severely hurt, and fresh blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

  "A desperate struggle, settle it! Too much time has been wasted on this matter already!" The sword's blade shone brightly, and the battle between the four stages truly erupted.

  Shen Cong wielded the Long Que knife, darting through the crowd. At this moment, he was one of the most intact combatants. With a full-force sneak attack, few disciples of the evil sect's third-tier Tong Li could withstand him. Now, all Shen Cong could do was to kill more people; as for whether he could turn the tide, it was impossible to know.

  "It turns out there's a big fish here, and it was just missed earlier!" A teasing voice rang out, Shen Cong's heart skipped a beat, and before he could even think, the dragon bird knife chopped backwards.

  A loud muffled sound, the enemy was fine, but Shen Cong's mouth suddenly burst open, his body was directly blown flying out by the force of the backlash, knocking down several people, with fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
