Chapter 367: The Annihilation of the Five Birds

"Lao'er, Laos, you disperse the poison mist; I will go and meet this Poison Snake."

Ying Laoda was filled with resentment.

At this moment, the Yingchao was shrouded in a large expanse of poison clouds, which drifted in all directions with the wind; any of the underlings who dared to approach were poisoned and collapsed to the ground.

Although they had Hundred-Clearance Pills in their mouths and were not afraid of the potent poison, Zhou You's Palm Poison carried a corrosive attribute, and touching it to the skin felt like being bitten by acid.

Based on this point, in the eyes and mouths of the three birds, Zhou You had already been upgraded from a Poison Snake-level threat to a Poison Python-level threat.

The eagle's screech had extremely strong penetrating power, causing the surrounding poison mist to pause briefly for an instant.

The Iron Feather battle robe on Ying Laoda's body moved without wind and began to vibrate rapidly; he actually lifted his feet off the ground in a low-altitude gliding posture.

He moved at high speed, crossing the area where the poison mist was thickest, and killed toward the position where Zhou You was located.

Zhou You was even more interested in the Iron Feather battle robe.

Worn on the body, it was a defensive outer garment, and when driven by Qi and blood, it could glide at low altitude; it actually had two functions.

It turned out that this battle robe was one of the masterpieces of Baiqin Laoren, and the one on Ying Laoda's body was a replica.

The complete version of the Iron Feather battle robe was similar in grade to the Flying Tiger Shirt of Dayin Mountain, and when worn, one could fight in the air.

Even as a shrunken version, it could still allow Ying Laoda to glide at low altitude, avoid most of the poison mist, and kill directly toward the target, Zhou You.

Zhou You clicked his tongue in wonder; these bird-men really had quite a few good things on them!

Xiao Gu's Zang stealth technique, Ou Laosan's diving technique, Ying Laoda's Iron Feather battle robe...

The source of all this, Baiqin Laoren, also made Zhou You even more interested.

"Lu Zhigang, surrender your life!"

Ying Laoda used the battle robe to swoop down from a high position, his force great and momentum fierce, his ten iron finger cots in a twisting and wringing posture.

Jiupanyingwangzhua! Steep mountain peaks, with the nine coils as the pinnacle, the mountain paths winding around like coiled incense, hence it is called 'Nine Coils'.

The Eagle King standing at the highest point of the steep peak is the king with the most powerful wings and the sharpest claws; its sharp gaze scans for prey everywhere, and if it doesn't strike, it stays still, but once it strikes, it kills the prey with force.

As he executed this fist and claw technique, the fierce and violent aura surging from his chest matched the artistic conception of this move.

In Zhou You's line of sight, it was as if a human-shaped giant eagle was pouncing over, two sharp claws covering his vision and approaching rapidly.

"Well come!"

Zhou You stepped with his feet, his palms circling around his body, and the joints of his entire body began to operate.

In an instant, his back became as supple as water, and the trajectories of his two poison palms were tricky and strange, like a poison snake spitting its fangs.

The eagle claws were one in front and one behind, grabbing toward his neck tendons and lower back spine respectively; once they hit, he would become a cripple on the spot.

The ruthlessness of the strike and the precision of the landing point were as if the two claws had grown from Zhou You's body in the first place and were now just returning to their original positions.

The power of the fist and claw, superimposed with the Qi and blood divine weapon, easily pierced through the scales, hooked into the snake skin, and was about to enjoy the flesh and blood beneath the defense.

Suddenly...

Ying Laoda realized that the tactile sensation had changed; it had become slippery and impossible to hold, like pinching a loach.

"Slippery Snake Step, Counter-Biting Palm!"

Zhou You exerted force from all the joints in his body, twisting his waist and shrugging his shoulders to generate power, his palms whipping up like whips.

*Pat! * The two poison palms struck the back of Ying Laoda's hands, and skin made contact.

Ying Laoda thought to himself that it was bad, and he flipped his eagle claws to lock Zhou You's hands; his fist technique could lock and seize weapons even with bare hands.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a dagger flew out from Zhou You's sleeve.

A second Qi and blood divine weapon?

Ying Laoda thought to himself that it was bad and hurriedly flicked out his iron finger cots, attempting to block this dagger.

Without a sound, several iron finger cots collided with the dagger and shattered into pieces, falling to the ground!

Not until the cold dagger sliced off Ying Laoda's palm did he scream, "Hidden Charm Treasure!"

The next moment, the reality that occurred verified Ying Laoda's guess.

The dagger pierced into his chest without any obstruction; the Iron Feather battle robe could not block it, and the entire blade of the dagger pierced directly in. In one encounter, Ying Laoda was stabbed to death.

Zhou You lifted his palms to support Ying Laoda's corpse, intending to take advantage of the time difference before the other two birds discovered it.

*Boom! Boom! Boom! * The large iron hammer struck the void, continuously exploding with water-vat-sized air blasts, and the potent poison permeating the air was diluted and dispersed.

Sun Laoer had unparalleled divine strength; his Qi and blood dispersed the poison evil in the iron hammer, and he continuously bombarded the air and the ground, beating the potent poison until it was shattered to pieces.

Bailao Laos cooperated with him to take action, and the poison clouds above the Yingchao had already dissipated by more than half.

"Over there with the boss, why is there no movement?"

The two of them were still puzzled; Ying Laoda's style was always to shout while fighting, so why had there been no sound for so long?

Suddenly, the thin poison mist was broken through, and a human figure flew backward.

It was Ying Laoda's back.

The two birds exclaimed in shock; the boss had actually been knocked away!

Bailao Laos stepped forward eagerly, reaching out to support Ying Laoda's shoulders, "Boss..."

But he did not notice that several bulges had appeared on Ying Laoda's clothes, flowing along the body, and in an instant, they burrowed into the part that Bailao Laos was touching.

Seven Step Poison Sand Palm secret technique: Condensed Fangs! The poison fangs drilled through the clothes and pierced directly into Bailao Laos's palm; meeting blood, it turned into poison, and the speed of its spread was shocking.

"You dog thief, you dare to plot against me!"

Bailao Laos discovered that something was wrong; Ying Laoda was already a corpse, so he did not hesitate to reach out and stab fiercely.

The sharp force pierced through Ying Laoda's corpse, attacking Zhou You who was hiding behind it.

"The medicinal power of the Hundred-Clearance Pill has expired!"

Zhou You withdrew and retreated, not forgetting to remind him, as he raised a sword to slash toward Sun Laoer, who was swinging the large iron hammer from the side.

It turned out that both sides had been fighting for more than an hour!

Without Ying Laoda's cooperation, Sun Laoer's ultimate move, the Eagle-Falcon Combined Strike, had no place to be used, so he could only rely on his invincible divine strength to launch a fierce attack.

Clang! Clang!

The two Blood-Qi divine weapons collided incessantly; the iron mace was covered in deep grooves and scars, while the sharp sword was also battered into a twisted, concave shape, with seven or eight notches chipped off its blade.

"Brute-like strength."

Zhou You felt his tiger's mouth numb from the shock; this Sun Laoer's strength was simply too great.

Bailao Laos could not withstand the venom entering his body; as the potent poison took effect, he stumbled, spun a few times, and collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.

In the end, only Sun Laoer remained.

"Lu Zhigang, I will destroy you."

Hua Laoer flew into a rage, holding his large iron mace and smashing it violently against the ground; the floor of Yingchao began to crack and disintegrate, with countless fissures widening and extending crazily, one after another beginning to sink and cave in.

This was an attempt to turn Yingchao into ruins and have both sides perish together.

Seeing him go mad, Zhou You did not panic; he maintained a calm attitude, watching while seizing opportunities to strike him with a palm or stab him with a sword.

Boom! A heaven-shaking sound of collapse erupted from Five Birds Palace; the tallest building, Yingchao, caved in, and the lackeys who could not escape in time were swept into it, crushed until not even their bones remained, buried at the bottom.

Dust flew into the air, not dissipating for five days and five nights.

Afterward, when people entered the site to investigate, they discovered that the Five Birds had all vanished; they were neither seen alive nor dead, and the wealth plundered and hoarded within their respective palaces had also flown away.

This was considered a supernatural event.

Not only Yingchao, but even Sun Yan, Ou Zhao, Tie Cong, and Ku Lin had been emptied out.

There were truly few in Gongliang City capable of such miraculous powers; in fact, one could almost say there were none.

Although some claimed it was the work of Du Yan Lu Zhigang, those with even a little insight scoffed at the notion; relying on Du Yan alone, even if he could kill the Five Birds, could he have emptied out that mountain of accumulated wealth? This was clearly a case of internal and external collusion, requiring an inside job; suspicion fell upon several high-ranking members of the rebel army, yet no one claimed responsibility for this major case, and in the end, the matter was left unsettled.
