Chapter 1085: Women's War (2)

Inside the circular hall, Qing Ning scornfully looked at all the elders who had collapsed and could not rise.

They bled from all seven orifices, their bodies limp and paralyzed, their life force rapidly draining. No matter how they struggled or exerted themselves, spiritual light flickered around them, yet they could not mobilize even a trace of magical power.

"A sawing rope can cut wood; dripping water can pierce stone."

"I spent over a thousand years to administer to you the most complex mixed poison I possess."

"Each year, each elder, including every elite of the Xi Huang lineage outside, the medicinal ingredients you consumed were all different."

"It could be a mouthful of food, a pill, a drop of alcohol, even a censer of incense, a cup of tea, or even the rouge and powder, body lotion, henna used by your wives and concubines, and so on."

"In short, over a thousand years, I have delivered supplies to you over a thousand times."

"Neat and complete, not a single one escaped…… you have all been afflicted with the 'Entropy-Reversing Soul Scattering'…… excellent."

Qing Ning smiled slowly, watching these elders' bodies twitch slightly; her smile was gentle and radiant.

On the transport ship she brought, hundreds of alluring, exceptionally gentle women stepped down from the clouds, holding avatars of the Murderous Dagger, gently stroking the necks of each Venerable expert of the Xi Huang lineage outside the hall.

One strike each, like slaughtering quail.

No resistance, no struggle, not a ripple, wind calm and waves still.

One after another, the Venerable experts died quietly, silently and without a sound.

Many of them possessed cultivation at the Venerable Seventh Heaven or higher, being thousands, even tens of thousands of times stronger than these gentle women; the highest cultivation among those gentle, serene-faced women was only the Third Heaven of the Divine Manifest Realm.

But having been afflicted with the so-called Entropy-Reversing Soul Scattering deadly poison, these Venerable experts could only watch helplessly as the women approached, their hands holding dagger-like shadows, lightly stroking their vital points, after which they fell into darkness, knowing nothing.

Even the avatars of the Murderous Dagger, upon a single strike, utterly crushed the souls and spirits of these defenseless Venerable experts.

"I know you are furious, you are enraged, your resentment reaches the heavens." Qing Ning walked up to the highest-status Xi Zun and gently patted his well-maintained, oily-smooth face.

"But who made you bring yourselves into this desperate situation?"

"For so many years, since Wa Island began mobilizing the entire human race's power to serve you, for so many years, besides shouting battle cries and using military force to threaten Wa Island, what else have you done?"

"Have you studied the way of alchemy?"

"Have you studied the way of witchcraft?"

"Have you studied the way of sorcery?"

"Have you studied the primeval civilization?"

"Have you excavated primeval relics?"

"Have you personally planted grain?"

"Have you personally spun thread and woven cloth?"

"Have you personally brewed wine and vinegar?"

"Have you personally pastured livestock and raised silkworms?"

Spreading her hands, Qing Ning sighed lightly: "You know nothing, you do nothing, you occupy Xi Valley, threatening Wa Island to plan everything for you. The old matriarchs labor tirelessly, fulfilling all your demands."

"Even those tireless old matriarchs, forced by you, began the Hidden Dragon Plan long ago."

"And I… I am not one of those tireless old matriarchs."

"You placed the opportunity to poison yourselves before me; being as covert, ruthless, decisive, and unfeeling as I am, of course I went with the flow and saw you off!"

"Therefore, since I became the chief steward of Wa Island and first led a team to deliver supplies to you, I have been poisoning your provisions."

"I am not foolish enough to administer a lethal deadly poison; heavens, if you discovered it, a single finger of yours could crush me."

"What I administered is a complex, exquisite, precise, long-term poison made of many mixed ingredients."

"You had not a shred of precaution, not a hint of vigilance… perhaps you did have precautions and vigilance, and you inspected every shipment I sent, but your knowledge of alchemy, witchcraft, potions, etc., is practically a blank slate, not even as good as a lowly maid of Wa Island."

"So today, you have met tragedy!"

"Powerful elders of the Xi Huang lineage, so many Venerable beings…… oh, your lives are like a candle in a hurricane, able to be extinguished at any moment…… all I need to do is this lightly……"

Qing Ning smiled, raised the main body of the Murderous Dagger, and with one strike pierced Xi Zun's heart.

Xi Zun instantly had his soul and spirit scattered, completely dead.

"I like your flesh." Qing Ning said leisurely: "Old as you may be, ugly as you may be, after exterminating your souls and spirits, your bodies are excellent material for corpse refinement."

"The human race's strange inheritance is truly abundant and rich. Among the Wu tribe, there is a corpse-refining branch that can take a corpse of extraordinary talent—even that of an ordinary person—and, with a little time and a little resource, forge it into a boundless-power 'Primeval God Beast'."

"The strength of the God Beast can reach the God Emperor level."

"Unthinkable means, unthinkable inheritance, great human civilization… speaking of civilization's diversity, richness, and complexity, human civilization far surpasses that of the so-called gods by an immeasurable margin."

"Consider this: an ordinary person's corpse, if its talent is just a little better, can be refined into a Primeval God Beast. Then, the warriors of the Xi Huang lineage have all trained in top-tier body cultivation techniques, their bodies storing limitless power."

"After refining you into various zombies, how fast could your evolution be?"

"Twenty-some hundred thousand Primeval God Beasts, ah!"

Qing Ning's body trembled violently, an unnatural flush rising on her face.

Her body trembling, she walked one by one to the elders, smiling, lightly piercing their hearts and extinguishing their vitality.

"The human race needs only one spiritual leader, and that is the Wa Tribe."

"Yao'er ascending the Human Emperor's Throne needs only the Wa Tribe's support; you lot, who only know how to preserve strength and idle away waiting to die, what use are you left in the mortal world?"

"So please die quietly."

"For so many years, you have hardly ever appeared before the common folk of humanity, hardly anyone knows you exist…… you are as if you never existed. Since you never existed, then may you vanish forever!"

"I will use your bodies to forge for Yao'er an invincible zombie legion."

"Absolutely loyal, absolutely obedient to orders, absolutely fearless of death, absolutely unyielding in battle—far more useful than you!"
