Chapter 237: Divine Artifact! Nether Yellow Springs!

Xie Xiaoxiao's eyes held three parts bewilderment, three parts terror, three parts shock, and one part fear.

She never would have guessed in a million years that the "combination technique" Ye Lin and Duan Ling spoke of would be something like this.

The key question was, could this even work?

Just as Xie Xiaoxiao was wondering, a scene that shocked her occurred.

Duan Ling, flying at high speed, passed by the brothers with the force of a thunderbolt, extending both hands to slap the third and fourth brothers once each.

Because Ye Lin's power was so terrifying, it resulted in Duan Ling moving at an extreme speed; they didn't even notice Duan Ling fly past, only feeling a gust of wind blow by before their faces suddenly stung.

"What the hell was that?"

"I don't know! Why did a wind suddenly blow?"

"Why did my face suddenly hurt?"

"Forget it, don't worry about it! Big Brother is what matters!"

The four brothers discussed it, but since they couldn't figure out what had happened, they simply couldn't be bothered to care; they had more important things to do now.

But soon, the effect of Duan Ling's two slaps began to appear; although these slaps didn't cause any substantial damage, the terrifying toxins on Duan Ling's body had already begun to invade their systems.

A strange purple hue first appeared on the faces of the third and fourth brothers, and then they felt their bodies go somewhat stiff.

"Not good! We've been poisoned!" The expressions of the third and fourth brothers changed in unison.

"Nether Poison Finger!"

The third brother gave a soft shout, his fingers piercing directly through his own chest, and then he raised his hand to pierce through the fourth brother's chest as well.

After the two fingers, the purple hue on their faces eased, and their bodies regained the ability to move.

"Damn it! Someone in the shadows is plotting against us! I can only rely on fighting poison with poison to temporarily suppress the toxicity; we must find that person to get the antidote!" The third brother's expression was extremely ugly.

"What kind of rats are you? Get out here!"

The fourth brother drew a long, thin soft sword with a *clang*; the blade shimmered with a chilling color, clearly coated in deadly poison.

Although the fifth brother was also a poison swordsman, he used dual swords.

The four brothers were now prepared to face the enemy, and what responded to them were several transparent threads as thin as spider silk, almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

In an instant, they felt an indescribable sense of danger, and the fourth and fifth brothers each slashed their swords toward the transparent threads.

But as that sword strike went out, a scene that made their hearts jump appeared.

Their sword blades were actually notched by the transparent threads!

It was hard to imagine what kind of origin these threads had to be so sharp and tough; if they landed on a person's body...

Thinking of this, they all shivered in unison!

"Fifth, you take the chain, I'm going!" The second brother shouted coldly, handing the chain in his hand to the fifth brother.

He himself turned into a ghost shadow, moving upward along the threads; the threads flew everywhere, yet they could never shake off the ghost shadow the second brother had become.

As a Poison Shadow Stealth professional, not only was his speed extremely fast, but he was also skilled in all kinds of tracking and anti-tracking techniques; soon, he followed the fluttering threads to find Xie Xiaoxiao hiding in the dark.

"Found you!"

A sinister grin appeared on the second brother's face, his eyes filled with cruel coldness.

"Go to hell!"

"Poison Shadow Ghost Hand!"

He reached out a hand, the skin on it turning deep green at an incredibly fast speed, looking terrifying, and struck directly toward Xie Xiaoxiao's heart.

If this strike landed, the two of them would likely be on intimate terms—literally tearing each other's hearts out.

However, Xie Xiaoxiao was not flustered in the slightest, not even bothering to defend.

Just then, Ye Lin walked out from behind Xie Xiaoxiao and raised the Imperial Gold Spear directly.

A flash of terror appeared in the second brother's eyes, but he was moving too fast to dodge.

"Puchi!"

As the sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh rang out, the Imperial Gold Spear pierced directly through the second brother's body, blood dripping; he widened his eyes, looking at the suddenly appearing Ye Lin in disbelief.

"Second Brother!" X3

Seeing this, the remaining three brothers instantly let out cries of grief.

Seeing this, Ye Lin immediately panicked and explained with an innocent look.

"You all saw it, he ran into my spear himself; this is blatant insurance fraud!"

"I..."

The heavily wounded and dying second brother widened his eyes at these words, unable to help but curse Ye Lin's manufacturer.

"Why do you have no sense of humor? Can't even take a joke, how disappointing!"

Ye Lin pulled out the Imperial Gold Spear and flicked it upward, and the second brother's head rolled away several meters.

"Second Brother! I'll kill you!"

The fifth brother was the youngest and most impulsive; seeing his second brother die tragically, he could no longer hold back, shoved the chain into the fourth brother's hands, and charged at Ye Lin.

But he didn't notice that not far in front of him, several Star Puppet Threads were already pulled taut in the air.

The moment he rushed over, he only felt his body go cold.

After running a few more steps, his entire body fell apart, shattering into a pile of fragments.

Xie Xiaoxiao calmly retracted the Star Puppet Threads; during her time in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm, her level had already reached 48, and combined with a divine artifact, killing an opponent only five levels higher than her in an instant was a piece of cake.

In just a few blinks of an eye, only the third and fourth brothers were left of the four, and both were poisoned by Duan Ling!

"Who exactly are you people? What grudge do we have against you?"

The third and fourth brothers had completely lost the courage to fight, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They had already recognized that the spear in Ye Lin's hand was a divine artifact, and the strange threads in Xie Xiaoxiao's hand were also a divine artifact!

Two people, each with a divine artifact—what kind of family background was this? When exactly had they offended existences of this level?

"No grudge, I just simply can't stand you pushing sweet, soft girls into the water."

As soon as the words fell, the Imperial Gold Spear turned into a black light and instantly pierced the throats of the third and fourth brothers.

At the same time, the four brothers' eldest, Wu Feiwen, also made a major discovery under the water!

In the dim water bottom filled with hard rocks, a faint, ghostly green light suddenly appeared, flickering like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Wu Feiwen felt his heart pounding wildly, and he couldn't help but let a look of joy appear in his eyes.

He cautiously approached the location of the light, only to see a necklace with a very archaic design stuck in a crack in the rock; the necklace was covered in rust, looking like it had been there for quite some years.

A green gemstone was embedded in the center of the necklace, and just by glancing at that green gemstone, Wu Feiwen felt dizzy.

Wu Feiwen was ecstatic; this must be the poison-attribute divine artifact he was looking for!

Wu Feiwen reached out and took the necklace from the rock crevice; the moment the necklace brushed against the rock, even the stone was dyed ink-green.

【Nether Yellow Springs】

【Grade: Divine Grade】

【Attribute: Spiritual Power Amplification 280%】 (Refinable)

【Skill 3: Ten Thousand Poisons Eating the Heart】

【Ten Thousand Poisons Eating the Heart: The wearer of the Nether Yellow Springs can inject all toxins into their own heart; after enduring the pain of ten thousand poisons eating the heart, their own spiritual power doubles.】

Wu Feiwen was incredibly excited.

A divine artifact!

This was a true divine artifact! Placing it in the outside world would definitely cause a bloodbath! And he had actually obtained it just like that!

The immense happiness gave Wu Feiwen a sense of unreality, much like opening your bank card and finding millions in the balance—you would definitely feel it wasn't real.

However, he knew well that this place was not a place to linger; the thing under the Dragon Pool should be waking up soon. Now that the divine artifact was in hand, Wu Feiwen didn't want to stay any longer; he hurriedly tugged on the chain, signaling his brothers to pull him up.

Swoosh!

The moment Wu Feiwen tugged on the chain, his entire body flew upward, his speed so fast that he even left an afterimage.

Wu Feiwen was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head in confusion.

"Why are they so strong today? Could it be they're excited because they know I've already obtained the divine artifact?"
