Wen Cangtian’s full strength was only able to leave a few hairline cracks on Du Wuju’s Yin Poison Armor. That was definitely not what he had expected.
“How is this possible? How are you so strong? Even if you’re a Heaven’s Gate Realm warrior, it’s impossible for you to leave unscathed after enduring this technique of mine.” Wen Cangtian held onto the Blue Flame Sword with one hand as his breathing became unstable and his face filled with horror.
“Hehe, I’ve fused the Yin Poison Gra.s.s Origin into my body, so my body’s strengthened by the Yin Poison Gra.s.s. Thus, my defense power far surpa.s.ses that of an ordinary Heaven’s Gate Realm. Together with my Yin Poison Armor, do you think that you’ll be able to hurt me at all?”
As he spoke, Du Wuju locked on to the Blue Flame Sword in Wen Cangtian’s hand. He then said with surprise, “Didn’t Sword Slave mention that your cultivation of the spirit weapon was a failure? Was his report false? Have you’ve already discovered that Sword Slave was a spy right before you fused the weapon spirits? Have you planned everything just to trap me?””
“Heh, the heavens have treated me well to have let me succeed in cultivating the spirit weapon. So as long as this news makes its way to Heaven’s Wall City, our Sword Whisper Manor shall regain our previous glory,” Wen Cangtian said as he laughed loudly.
“Haha, regain your previous glory? Do you think that you’ll live to see tomorrow?” Du Wuju said coldly as he folded his arms together across his chest.
” Du Wuju, do you know that we’ve got another Formation in place within the Sword Cleansing Cave?”
“Formation? There’s only the Million Ancestral Swords Formation within the Sword Cleansing Cave. Don’t try to trick me.”
“Within the Sword Cleansing Cave, there’s also a Destruction Formation, and once this Formation is activated, the entire Sword Cleansing Cave will be within the attacking range of the Million Ancestral Swords Formation. This Formation was set in place by our Sword Whisper Manor’s First Manor Master, all for the sake of protecting our Sword Whisper Manor’s reputation, and not even the Four Sword Envoys are aware of this Formation. Unless it comes to the point where it’s a life and death situation for our Sword Whisper Manor, the Destruction Formation would ordinarily never be activated. However, once the Formation is activated, even a Heaven’s Strength Realm warrior would perish within the Sword Cleansing Cave,” Wen Cangtian said plainly.
“Are you bluffing?” Looking at Wen Cangtian’s expression, Du Wuju faintly felt a hint of unease. He wasn’t sure if the Formation Wen Cangtian described actually existed or not.
“Bluffing?” Wen Cangtian’s expression turned serious. He shot towards a corner as if he was going to activate some mechanism.
The look on Du Wuju’s face instantly changed. He pushed his power to their limits then kicked off the ground and shot towards Wen Cangtian’s direction. But without warning, Wen Cangtian suddenly changed directions and leaped towards the corner where Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu were hiding. With a wave of his True Energy Beam, Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu were both blown to the side of the Sword Lagoon.
“Ye Mo, Chuchu, escape from here now! Go look for that useless brother of mine, the Sword Whisper Manor can only count on him now!”
“Uncle Cangtian!”
“Chuchu, let’s go!”
Ignoring Chuchu, Ye Mo grabbed her by the waist and dashed towards the chains.
“Qingyun Alliance league members?”
Du Wuju was aware of the other two presence hiding within the Sword Cleansing Cave, but he didn’t care much about them. It was only when he realized that the two of them were Qingyun Alliance League Members did he link them to his son’s death.
“Trying to escape? It’s not going to be that simple! Die!”
Du Wuju’s was extremely fast. With one finger, he shot a green venomous arrow towards Ye Mo. The venomous arrow pierced through Ye Mo, but it was just an image of him. Ye Mo had already jumped onto the chains with Chuchu in his arms.
Du Wuju was at first surprised, but just as he was about to shoot another venomous arrow, a light blade blocked off his attack.
“Wen Cangtian, you’re courting death. Yhere’s no other Sword Formation in the Sword Cleansing Cave.” Du Wuju said furiously and turned around to look at Wen Cangtian To think that a Heaven’s Gate Realm warrior like him was actually incensed by Wen Cangtian’s words.
Wen Cangtian raised his head up and laughed loudly, completely unfazed by the fact that he’s about to die. “Haha, now you know? My only motive was to let those two little ones escape. Your Yin Poison Society will sooner or later be eradicated by the powerful fighters of Qingyun Alliance.”
“You!” Having heard him, Du Wuju was furious. His face twitched, and he charged towards the sh.o.r.e of the Sword Cleansing Lagoon.
Wen Cangtian immediately blocked Du Wuju’s path. Bhind Wen Cangtian were the five chains that linked the way to the opposite sh.o.r.e.
“Do you think that there’s any use in you obstructing my path?” Seeing that Wen Cangtian was determined to create an opportunity for Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu to escape, Du Wuju slowly calmed down as his nasty expression turned into a devious smirk.
“Since you’re determined to obstruct my path, I’ll just have to kill you now. Do you think that two Energy Shaping Realm warriors are able to escape under my watch? Not to mention that there are warriors from my Yin Poison Society standing guard out there. All that’s left for them is death!”
“Du Wuju, since you want to kill me, let me see your Yin Poison Society’s strongest martial technique.”
Holding the Blue Flame Sword in his hands, Wen Cangtian took on a defensive posture as he prepared to receive the attack.
“Fine, I’ll let you die under my strongest martial technique and turn you into nourishment for my Yin Poison Gra.s.s’ True Body!”
Du Wuju roared and green venom slowly oozed out of his Yin Poison Armor. Following after, the Yin Poison Gra.s.s bizarrely grew out from the chest portion of the Yin Poison Armor and became a giant plant with a giant purple orb on its pointed tip.
Du Wuju grew a few feet taller, and his body had turned into the stem of the Yin Poison Gra.s.s while his Yuanli became its nutrients. Right then, the purple orb suddenly opened its mouth. With just that one mouth, it was large enough for it to swallow a few people whole.
Maybe Du Wuju wasn’t completely human but was a venomous plant in the form of a human, just like Mo Feng from the past.
The growth of the gigantic, humanoid plant shocked Wen Cangtian.
“Is this the rumored Yin Poison Gra.s.s King? The Yin Poison Gra.s.s that can devour Demonic Beasts?”
“Haha, Wen Cangtian, being able to see my full power is my gift to you. Now die!”
As Du Wuju spoke, the Yin Poison Gra.s.s opened its big mouth. It sucked in air swiftly, and a giant True Energy Poison Vapor Bomb began to form. The Sword Cleansing Cave started to tremble as cracks formed on the ground.
Watching the scene before his eyes, Wen Cangtian swung the sword in his hand, and a light blade swiftly shot towards the giant Poison Vapor Bomb, but just before the light blade got close to the True Energy Poison Vapor Bomb, it completely dissipated.
“This technique is so strong. Even a Heaven’s Strength Realm warrior would have to take this attack seriously!”
Whoos.h.!.+
The True Energy Poison Vapor Bomb flew straight towards Wen Cangtian. Poison vapor swirled around them as Wen Cangtian was swallowed by the Poison Vapor Bomb.
Boom!
The Poison Vapor Bomb crashed into the Sword Cleansing River, and the five chains shattered. Under its impact, the Flying Swords within the Sword Cleansing River scattered to all corners of the Sword Cleansing Cave.
Wen Cangtian was thrown down from the air and smashed into the ground. His clothes, face, and scalp were all ruined and mutilated.
Du Wuju looked at Wen Cangtian, then said coldly, “This is your ending, for going against the Yin Poison Society.”
Cough cough!
Wen Cangtian lay on the ground and coughed out two mouthfuls of fresh blood. Then, he softly laughed and said, “Actually, the Sword Cleansing Cave does have the Destruction Formation that I mentioned and when activated, the entire Sword Cleansing Cave will be a target of the Million Ancestry Swords Formation.”
“Hm?”
“And the mechanism to activate the Formation is actually the five chains there, but because the five chains are made from Black Gold Steel. I’m not able to destroy them with my own True Energy Realm power. Yet you’ve actually a.s.sisted me in activating the Destruction Formation!”
Swish swish swish swis.h.!.+
All of the Flying Swords scattered among the Sword Cleansing Cave flew up into the sky again, hovering in the air before they locked on to both Du Wuju and Wen Cangtian!
“B*stard!” Du Wuju’s face started to distort, and his enraged voice reverberated throughout the entire Sword Cleansing Cave like the tolling of a bell before he attempted to get out the Sword Cleansing Cave.
Boom!
“Hehe, in the end, I’ve still failed to cultivate a spirit weapon. I really am a failure of a Weapon Refiner!”
Sensing the approaching flying swords, Wen Cangtian slowly closed his eyes.
