Chapter 1876: Corpse Poison
The person being besieged from all sides by over a hundred experts was one Long Chen hadn’t seen in several years, Mo Nian .
Mo Nian had a bow in hand, and his manifestation was present behind him . Long Chen could see two figures within his manifestation . They were both standing there, their hands in a seal . Divine light flowed through them and into Mo Nian .
Mo Nian was covered in blood . It was unknown if it was his or someone else’s, but he looked to be in a bad spot . His aura was fluctuating intensely . It seemed as if he had been gravely injured .
What was shocking though was that even in this state, even against experts who were activating the power of their divine abilities, the five-colored bow in Mo Nian’s hand was able to resolve all the attacks he faced . Even in his heavily injured state, he wasn’t defeated .
“That bow…” Long Chen saw all the attacks actually rebound off the bow . With Mo Nian’s aura in a chaotic state, he was practically on his last legs . He was relying entirely on that bow in his hand .
“Mo Nian, you’ve committed too many sins . After grave robbing all day, your retribution has finally come!” sneered someone .
The majority of these experts were from the ancient family alliance, and the others were from the Righteous path, Corrupt path, ancient races, and Xuan Beasts . Clearly, they had formed an alliance . Long Chen’s guess was not wrong . Pill Valley was finally baring its fangs .
Even facing over a hundred experts, Mo Nian cursed back, “f.u.c.k off, it’s not grave robbing . Did your masters die early? Have you not heard of a term called archaeology? I, Mo Nian, am searching through ancient remains for the legacy of the human race . I am enhancing the current cultivation world’s civilization . As a pioneer of the archaeology field, I will bring the world to an unprecedented future . What qualifications do you have to act like you’re better than me? I know the heavens, I know the earth, and I know the air in between . I am one who explores the limits of the world, not a group of blind ants like you!”
“What bulls.h.i.+t! To describe grave robbing so honorably, your face really is thick! Maybe no one else can compare when it comes to that!” roared someone else . That person was especially angry because his family’s tomb had been robbed by Mo Nian .
It wasn’t just him . Amongst the ancient families, most of them with a certain level of power or ancient inheritance had had their ancestral tombs robbed by Mo Nian .
“Hmph, when it comes to the thickness of one’s face, I’m a far cry from Long Chen . Are you blind?” cursed Mo Nian .
“What the f.u.c.k, even when I’m not there, I get shot by you . If you want to be shameless, fine, but don’t bring me into it . ” Long Chen finally couldn’t endure it anymore and jumped in .
Seventy-two golden rays of light shot through the experts attacking Mo Nian . Long Chen could see that Mo Nian was heavily injured, and he was forced to conserve his power to suppress his injuries . If he continued to do that, he would be worn down slowly . Knowing Mo Nian, if he was forced to that extent, he might do something crazy .
The dragon teeth struck suddenly, catching the attackers off guard . By the time they reacted, the dragon teeth had reached them .
Divine items shattered as those who clashed with the dragon teeth were blown apart . The majority of these people only had quasi divine items, and they were unable to block the attack of the dragon teeth . They were instantly annihilated .
“Hahaha, Long Chen, you came at a good time . Help me annihilate these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!” Seeing Long Chen, Mo Nian was revitalized . Taking advantage of the chaos, five-colored divine light came from his bow .
Rays of light shot out, each striking their target .
After Long Chen’s attack, only thirty-five experts had survived relying on their half-step divine items . Those people were all elite Empyreans, but even so, Long Chen’s attack had cost them half their lives . They were still hacking up blood when Mo Nian’s arrows arrived .
The arrows pierced through their heads, and their accuracy was amazing . Thirty-five arrows flew by, and thirty-five experts were slain . Not one escaped . Even Long Chen was stunned . Mo Nian’s archery was practically G.o.d-like .
Long Chen waved his hand, grabbing the now masterless divine items . Before they could fight back, he tossed them in the primal chaos s.p.a.ce .
Several explosions erupted within the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . Some divine items resisted and were annihilated by the primal chaos bead . It was the smarter ones who immediately went still and didn’t dare to resist .
Long Chen moved quickly, but he was still a bit too slow . The majority of the intact divine items managed to flee . He only managed to grab seventeen swords . Five of them exploded, but twelve of them submitted .
Those twelve had comparatively more intelligent item-spirits, so their quality was a bit higher . Twelve divine items was quite the harvest .
“Hahaha, Mo Nian, it’s been a while since I saw your fat face . ” Only then did Long Chen fly over to Mo Nian . He gave him a fierce embrace .
After parting in the Eastern Wasteland, it had been many years . He had been concerned about him and hadn’t expected to meet like this .
“Hahaha, your mouth is still the same . For you to have lived until today really is a miracle… pfft!” Mo Nian suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, making Long Chen jump .
“What happened? Are you injured?” Long Chen hastily took out a healing pill for him . He investigated Mo Nian’s body, and his expression suddenly changed . Mo Nian’s body was filled with death qi . It was like he was turning into a corpse .
Swallowing the pill, Mo Nian waved his hand . “It’s fine . I won’t die . It’s just an occupational disease of my archaeology . ”
“This is clearly the invasion of corpse poison! You’ve been within tombs for too long, and the corpse poison has even invaded your soul . If this continues, you’ll lose your life . ” Long Chen shook his head gravely .
“f.u.c.k, isn’t it all because of that idiot Di Feng? Originally, this corpse poison was only irritable, and I couldn’t erase it, but it wasn’t able to cause me any harm . In fact, I could even give some of it to others when I wanted to . But that Di Feng kept attacking me . We have fought three battles since entering the Yin Yang World without deciding a winner, but each time, the corpse poison would flare up . The third flare was especially bad . But it’s fine, my body already has a certain resistance to the corpse poison, and as long as I have time, I can slowly erase it . This time, I was just unlucky . I found a good place but ended up encountering that Di Feng again . With the corpse poison still flaring, I had to run . He wanted the treasures from that place, so he sent some troops to irritate me . Hmph, it’s fortunate you came, or I really might have died,” said Mo Nian hatefully .
“You found a good place but were driven away by Di Feng?”
“Exactly! Let me tell you, based on my years of gravedig- cough, archaeology, I’m sure that place is an absolute treasure!” declared Mo Nian . “It’s just that I can’t suppress my corpse poison yet . Otherwise, if the two of us went, we’d annihilate them . ”
“Your corpse poison, I have a way to get rid of it . You’ll have to endure some pain though . ” Long Chen placed a hand on Mo Nian’s back .
“You… you can do that? This is no ordinary corpse poison . It’s a kind of defense left behind by some terrifying experts after they died . It contains their will from when they were alive…”
Thunderforce suddenly surged out of Long Chen’s hand and into Mo Nian’s body . Mo Nian’s hair stood on end, and his eyes almost popped out .
“How can your thunderforce be so domineering?!” exclaimed Mo Nian . He found that this thunderforce was erasing the will within the corpse poison . It was like snow melting in the sunlight .
“My thunderforce comes from tribulation lightning and is perfect for erasing your corpse poison . Endure it . It will definitely cause you some harm while expelling the corpse poison,” said Long Chen .
“It’s fine, come . This bit of pain is nothing to me . If I make a sound, it’ll count as my loss- AH!”
Mo Nian suddenly let out a cry as Long Chen’s thunderforce transformed into needles that stabbed his spiritual sea . That intense pain came out of nowhere .
“You lost . ”
“f.u.c.k, you’re still a conner!” raged Mo Nian .
“You’re the one who started bragging first . Doesn’t hitting your own face hurt?” laughed Long Chen . This was a reprisal for Mo Nian for saying his face was thicker .
Long Chen’s thunderforce worked quickly . The thunderforce itself was unable to erase the corpse poison, but it wiped away the will contained within it .
With the will within it gone, it was easy for Mo Nian to get rid of the corpse poison . Consuming two pills Long Chen refined for him, the corpse poison was quickly expelled . He then focused on healing his injuries .
“Hahaha, I, Mo Nian, am resurrected! Di Feng, just wait, I’m going to beat your a.s.s! Let’s go!”
As soon as Mo Nian was recovered, he dragged Long Chen off in a certain direction .
