Chapter 1349

Between heaven and earth, the cold black rain poured down without cease.

And everyone's gaze was focused on Shen Yun Ge, who at this moment stood rigid in midair, a fist-sized blood hole piercing through his brow and brain.

In everyone's eyes, wild joy surged.

As long as we slay Shen Yun Ge, we can stop the gestation of that crimson flower bud, and simultaneously halt all these polluters.

This battle seemed to still grant them a stroke of luck, gaining a slight upper hand.

For everyone, this result was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

But before their smiles could spread from the corners of their mouths, a strange chuckle came from Shen Yun Ge's mouth: "You don't really think this can kill me, do you?"

Everyone's faces instantly stiffened.

Only then did Shen Yun Ge slowly twist his neck, the corners of his mouth bearing a rich smile; though the blood hole at his brow looked horrifying, after being corrupted by the evil thought aura, his vitality was far tougher than that of peers of the same level.

This scene made everyone's hearts sink—even such a vicious arrow could not kill Shen Yun Ge in this state?

Shen Yun Ge's eyes, filled with negative emotions and cold as ice, fixed on Li Luo as he said: "What a pity, your arrow still lacks just a bit of power."

Li Luo's arrow possessed enough power to threaten the life of a fifth-rank marquis expert, but unfortunately, Shen Yun Ge has now surpassed that level, and the erosion of the evil thought aura has also made his vitality even tougher.

Many injuries that would be fatal to ordinary marquis experts are not so terrifying to him.

"Li Luo, step back."

Jiang Qinge appeared before Li Luo, her eyes guarded and wary as she stared at Shen Yun Ge; Li Luo was already exhausted, his combat power rapidly declining—this arrow had drained too much of his strength, and if another major battle followed, Li Luo would be unable to act.

"Sister Qinge, no need to worry."

Li Luo smiled at Jiang Qinge, gesturing for her to relax.

Then he slightly nodded at Shen Yun Ge and said: "It is indeed a pity."

This arrow was nearly Li Luo's strongest strike.

It not only drew upon the power of the Six-Tailed Heavenly Wolf, but also the recent breakthrough opportunity of the Myriad-Zhang Heavenly Appearance Chart, as well as the support of the three paths of ninth-grade primary and secondary dual phases within his body.

With all these enhancements, this arrow might not be weaker than Li Luo's full deployment of the Myriad Appearance Dragon Fang Sword Formation.

But ultimately, the power was still insufficient—after all, no matter what, he is only in the Great Heavenly Appearance realm; without the aid of the Six-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's power, even if he exerted his full strength in deploying the Myriad Appearance Dragon Fang Sword Formation, it would pose no threat to Shen Yun Ge.

After all, no matter how high the rank of marquis techniques, their power still depends on one's own appearance force.

However, although this arrow's power might not be enough to slay Shen Yun Ge, Li Luo had a faint sense even before launching it, for this arrow... the true threat did not lie in the power contained within the arrow.

But... in the poison contained within it.

That poison was born from Li Luo activating the Great Blood Poison Technique, merging the Heavenly Wolf Blood Slaughter Poison with his own Heavenly Dragon Essence Blood, resulting in a mutant deadly poison.

Li Luo called it "Heavenly Long Lang Slaughter."

This deadly poison is the true killing intent of this arrow.

The Three Dragons Regicide Arrow merely served to break defenses; its purpose was to deliver that deadly poison into the opponent's body.

From the very beginning, when Shen Yun Ge blocked the path, Li Luo had been waiting for this arrow.

Because he clearly understood the gap in their levels—even with Jiang Qinge's peerless combat power, if relying only on normal means, their chances of victory were not great; Jiang Qinge's true combat power should be comparable to an upper fourth-rank marquis, and only by deploying Heavenly Rank Marquis Techniques could she briefly reach the power of a lower fifth-rank marquis.

But Shen Yun Ge is an upper fifth-rank marquis, and under the Black Rain Ghost Calamity, his strength has further increased.

If it came to a one-on-one duel, Qin Bei Ming would probably not be able to defeat him.

To truly slay Shen Yun Ge, one must rely on the "Heavenly Long Lang Slaughter" contained within this arrow.

And Li Luo also believed in its power, for this poison had consumed more than half of his Heavenly Dragon Essence Blood.

So facing the mocking Shen Yun Ge, Li Luo's heart remained calm: I'm waiting for your poison to erupt—what are you waiting for?

Under Li Luo's steady gaze, the strange smile on Shen Yun Ge's face did not last long before it began to stiffen gradually.

Because at his brow, the edge of that blood hole began to melt at this very moment.

A blood mist rose, filled with boundless murderous and vicious aura, wildly invading and melting everything nearby.

In just a few breaths, half of Shen Yun Ge's face was gone.

Yet Shen Yun Ge at this moment did not cry out in pain, for he had already lost his sense of pain, though he could feel a terrifying poison melting his body; under this poison's corrosion, even the evil thought aura could not resist.

This poison paid no heed to the evil thought aura, merely focusing on invading and melting Shen Yun Ge's flesh.

As the poison swept through, whether flesh or bone, all were melted into bloodwater flowing downward.

More and more "Heavenly Long Lang Slaughter" spread from within Shen Yun Ge's body, causing his flesh to continually melt into blood holes, with bloodwater pouring down endlessly.

This sudden change made everyone stare wide-eyed, involuntarily sucking in a breath of cold air.

"Is that... poison gas?!"

Qin Bei Ming, Li Zhi Huo, Zhao Xiu Yuan and other top experts stared in shock at Shen Yun Ge's rapidly melting flesh; with their eyesight, they could naturally see this was poison corroding the body.

But what poison could be so domineering as to ignore Shen Yun Ge's surging evil thought aura and directly melt his flesh?

And they naturally could also see that this poison must have come from Li Luo's earlier arrow.

In other words, this poison is Li Luo's doing!

If such terrifying poison gas fell upon them, would they not meet the same fate as Shen Yun Ge now?

At this thought, their gazes toward Li Luo's figure could not help but gain a hint of wariness.

This guy, clearly only in the Great Heavenly Appearance realm, yet his methods are truly somewhat frightening.

But fortunately, for now we are still on the same side.

And under the gaze of countless shocked onlookers, Shen Yun Ge's body quickly melted into a thousand wounds and holes, even his brain reduced to half its form, looking extremely bloody and terrifying.

In this state, Shen Yun Ge was undoubtedly clinging to life.

And in Shen Yun Ge's damaged pupils, countless negative emotions swirled, while at this moment, some clarity also appeared.

A hoarse voice came out: "I actually died at the hands of a Great Heavenly Appearance realm cultivator."

Li Luo softly said: "Sorry, you were polluted."

"I want to know, who planted the poison curse inside you earlier?"

Shen Yun'ge's eyes flickered with confusion, and vague images flashed through his mind, but that perspective was not his own—it belonged to the "Golden Scale Heavenly Python."

That environment was very familiar—it was indeed within the Abyssal City.

In the Golden Scale Heavenly Python's perspective, he was in a stone pavilion, seeing a figure walk out; that figure was quite strange, for its face was completely blank.

But when he saw that faceless person, the latter seemed to have also noticed him—the blank face twitched slightly, as if a hint of a smile had appeared.

Then he reached out and grabbed the wandering Golden Scale Heavenly Python.

A faint sound came through.

"This second piece, it's also done."

The memory cut off abruptly, Shen Yun'ge's expression suddenly turned painful, and at his chest, the ferocious snake head and snake mouth began to open wide.

"You... little..."

Shen Yun'ge struggled to speak, but his voice had not yet fully faded when his physical body completely melted away, leaving only the snake mouth hovering in midair; in the next instant, heaven and earth seemed to fall silent.

A black hand reached out from the snake's mouth, and in the palm of that hand was a twisted, strange human face.

The face opened its mouth and spat out a beam of black light.

As the black light appeared, it seemed to absorb all the black rain in the sky, and a thick, extreme aura of malice rose up.

The black light then directly enveloped Li Luo and Jiang Qinge.

Jiang Qinge had already sensed something wrong when Shen Yun'ge spoke, and immediately grabbed Li Luo's arm, her figure retreating swiftly.

But the black light was faster.

Within the black light, it seemed to condense unimaginable seeds of malice; if truly tainted, even a sixth-rank marquis-level expert would be eroded.

Obviously, this was the final countermeasure from the mastermind behind the scenes.

Sinister and vicious.

The black light rapidly expanded in the pupils of Li Luo and Jiang Qinge.

At this moment, Jiang Qinge felt immense danger; her face turned icy cold, she formed a seal with one hand, and without hesitation, she was about to activate the life-forcing technique.

But just at this critical moment.

Suddenly, a faint, obscure light broke through the void and directly collided with the black light containing the terrifying seeds of malice.

At the moment of impact, Li Luo clearly saw that within the obscure light, there seemed to be a small snake.
