Chapter 1394: Playing with Yin?

Some were dazed from the beating; facing the endless variety of Haotu Shijie's methods, the people of Blood King Palace and Heaven-Reaching Pavilion were somewhat unable to adapt.

After all, they had never encountered such a thing before.

They hadn't even engaged yet, but already so many had died; more importantly, morale had sunk to rock bottom.

Now every disciple of Blood King Palace and Heaven-Reaching Pavilion is like a startled bird.

Just fearing a moment's inattention, the talisman seal and formation would light up beneath their feet, making combat even more restrictive.

In contrast, the people of Bai Song Gu and Haotu Shijie grow braver the more they fight.

Especially the Bai Song Gu disciples, they are thrilled.

After fighting for so many years, the three sects have never engaged in such a wealthy battle; they already hold the advantage before even clashing.

What's more, they can even enjoy Ye Zhangqing's delicacies on the battlefield.

"Junior sister, hold the line for a bit, I'm going to grab a bite."

"What are you going for, just as it's started?"

"Just have a bite first."

Not long after the battle began, Bai Song Gu disciples had already come to Ye Zhangqing's kitchen.

But when they arrived and took a look, their eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

I thought I had arrived early enough, but by then, inside and outside the kitchen, many Haotu Shijie people had already gathered.

It looks like each of them is eating with oil dripping from their mouths.

"You haven't gone to the battlefield?"

"Did these guys go to the battlefield? How did they get to eat so quickly?"

In response, the Haotu Shijie people each retorted sternly.

"What nonsense, how could we not have gone to the battlefield? We only came after finishing the fight."

"Huh???"

"Has it only been a quarter hour since the battle started, and you've already ended it?"

The Bai Song Gu disciples were a bit dazed; is this speed too fast?

But the rich aroma of the food still interrupted their thoughts; with little time left, they decided to eat first and talk later.

The disciples skillfully took up bowls and chopsticks, just like the Haotu Shijie people, each filling a large bowl and digging in directly.

The Haotu Shijie people had arrived earlier; after finishing, they didn't waste time, put down their utensils, and returned straight to the battlefield.

Ending the battle earlier could also reduce some casualties.

The battle's development completely exceeded the expectations of Blood King Palace and Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

But right now, the fight among those Emperor Sovereign realm cultivators of Yun Xiantai is truly the key that decides the battle's outcome.

Four versus four, no side had a numerical advantage, but from the start, Ling Lao Tou was Yun Xiantai's weak point.

After taking the Ancient Emperor Pattern Pill, Yun Xiantai's cultivation had broken through to the great completion of Emperor Sovereign Realm, one minor level above Ling Lao Tou.

Thus, when they clashed, Yun Xiantai gained the upper hand, and Ling Lao Tou could only struggle to hold on.

Originally, Ling Lao Tou's strength was the weakest among the three Emperor Sovereigns of Heaven Martial Realm; coupled with Yun Xiantai's uncanny methods, he could hardly defend at all.

Not only is his own strength not weak, he occasionally launches a sneak attack with a talisman seal and formation disk.

Striking Ling Lao Tou is extremely unpleasant; a moment's distraction could easily lead to falling under Yun Xiantai's influence.

After the fierce battle to this point, Ling Lao Tou dares not relax in the slightest, resisting with all his might.

Yet as time passes, it remains increasingly hard to endure.

Especially now, Yun Xiantai thrusts a sword; Ling Lao Tou, exerting all his strength, barely manages to block it, but the next second, a talisman seal somehow ends up stuck on his chest.

"When............."

He hadn't even noticed it, but before Ling Lao Tou could react, the talisman seal suddenly flared with a soaring light.

Immediately, a golden light directly engulfed Ling Lao Tou.

When the golden light faded, Ling Lao Tou's body was slammed down from the sky onto the ground.

Seeing this, Yun Xiantai also slowly descended, approaching the seemingly lifeless Ling Lao Tou and looking down at him from above.

But the next second, Ling Lao Tou, whose eyes had been tightly shut, suddenly opened them and spat out a silver needle invisible to the naked eye from his mouth.

The silver needle struck Yun Xiantai's heart; he staggered a few steps and then collapsed seated on the ground.

At this moment, Ling Lao Tou struggled to his feet; that talisman seal had indeed caused him considerable harm, but it was not life‑threatening.

All of that just now was his deliberate act; the purpose was to create an opportunity for himself.

As the silver needle struck Yun Xiantai's heart, Ling Lao Tou sneered.

"Sometimes fighting also requires using your brain."

"You................"

Yun Xiantai glared at Ling Lao Tou with fury; just as he opened his mouth, before he could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Ling Lao Tou laughed even more brightly.

"Don't struggle; this needle is poisonous—even if you are an Emperor Sovereign cultivator, you won't be able to neutralize the toxin in a short time."

This silver needle can be said to be Ling Lao Tou's final trump card; he has never used it before, and no one else knows of it.

In the battle against Yun Xiantai, Ling Lao Tou clearly knows that in a head‑on clash he is no match for Yun Xiantai; he can only rely on surprise.

Therefore, after being struck by the talisman seal earlier, Ling Lao Tou simply turned the tables.

He let Yun Xiantai believe he was gravely wounded by the talisman seal, with no strength left to resist, causing Yun Xiantai to lower its guard and give him a chance to strike secretly.

Although the methods are somewhat unsavory and underhanded, what does it matter if they win? In the end, it's still victor and vanquished.

Yun Xiantai's complexion visibly turned pale as he struggled to rise, but his whole body seemed unable to muster any strength.

"No need to struggle; although this poison can't directly take your life, it can still render you unable to act for a short time."

And during this period, I could have killed you over a hundred times already.

With Yun Xiantai's cultivation, the poison cannot directly kill him, but causing him to temporarily lose his combat ability is still no problem.

And on the battlefield, a blink of an eye can sometimes change the outcome.

Ling Laotou walked toward Yun Xiantai full of confidence, having been struck by his own silver needle, the outcome already decided.

In the end, he still won this battle; no matter how high his cultivation or how much stronger his combat power than mine, the ultimate victory was still mine.

Faced with the relentlessly approaching Ling Laotou, Yun Xiantai gritted his teeth in unwillingness, looking as if he wanted to rise but simply could not muster any strength.

Seeing this, the Spirit Snake Granny on the other side felt extremely anxious.

Wasn't it agreed that Ling Laotou would be the breakthrough point? How come now Yun Xiantai has become the breakthrough point instead?

Looking at this, it seems Yun Xiantai here is the first place where the outcome is decided.

But the result is completely opposite to what everyone expected; it's not the same thing at all.

Logically, Yun Xiantai is stronger, so he should be the one to win.

Spirit Snake Granny wanted to go rescue him; if Yun Xiantai died at this point, the impact on the situation would be troublesome, and then they three would have to face a three-versus-four scenario.

With one person fewer, it would be extremely difficult.

Unfortunately, the other side naturally wouldn't let Spirit Snake Granny have her way, tightly holding her back so she couldn't escape.
