Chapter 502: The Myriad Poison Secret Workshop Joins the Battle

The news of Yanshan breaking through to the Strong Martial realm directly ignited the battlefield.

The original turn-based chess-like tactics disintegrated in an instant, and all high-level martial artists went mad.

Yanshan, a civilian martial artist, how much stronger could he be than them to have actually broken through to the Strong Martial realm a step ahead? It was unbearable, and unacceptable.

Since he broke through at a life-or-death juncture, it is worth learning from and imitating; we shall intensify the conflict with even more brutal engagements.

Liu Fengji and Gaoyang Ruoqiang, not waiting for those around them to be ready, leaped a thousand meters away, colliding to create a mushroom cloud.

Zhou You would bet that they definitely possessed secret treasures that amplified speed.

With a fierce wind whistling past his ears, Pei Li had already charged out, not forgetting to call out to him, "Hurry up."

The ground trembled violently as martial artists slammed into the opposing camp; there were no targets, they just attacked whoever they caught! Being one step faster meant having an advantage; staying foolishly in place only meant becoming a target for the enemy's strikes.

Zhou You's hair stood on end; he took two or three steps of the Feather-Stepping Sky-Ascending Pace, activated his Iron Feather battle robe, and immediately soared a hundred meters into the air.

At this height, there were still many martial artists leaping high, diving to attack targets, and weaving past all around his feet.

"Zhou You, let me have a go at you."

A Witch person had emerald green mist spraying from every pore on their body, rising slowly as if riding the clouds, and countless sharp spikes pierced toward his face.

He did not know what method they had used to actually be able to fight while airborne.

Zhou You shook his Iron Spear, thrusting out the Black Cloud Spear, and in an instant, the spear tip unleashed a sky full of black clouds.

Every single sharp spike was struck by the spear tip, with not a single one escaping; in the blink of an eye, the countless sharp spikes withered like tooth-extracted Poison Snakes.

The Witch person twisted their arms, and a cold, sinister aura surged from below, stabbing straight toward Zhou You's lower abdomen.

Zhou You remained calm, twisting out a pitch-black spear flower to shatter the Witch person's sneak attack, then immediately thrust his spear into their chest.

The Qi and blood condensed at the spear tip exploded, blowing a hole directly through the Witch person's chest; one could see countless green vapors churning, wriggling like vines as they coiled around the Iron Spear and spread toward his own body.

"Disperse!"

Zhou You flicked his wrist, the Iron Spear hummed and vibrated, shattering the green vapor into nothingness.

This tricky and bizarre Witch person was finally dead, leaving no bones behind.

Before Zhou You could retract his Iron Spear, a sound of piercing through the air rang out; it was actually Gu Insects, small winged flying Gu Insects.

Although Witch people could not fly, the Gu Insects they raised were strange and varied, and there was no lack of winged species that could fly.

At this moment, Witch people from the Gu-path elite army released Gu Insects, attempting to attack Zhou You and drag him down from the sky to the ground.

The Gu Insects circling around him looking for an opportunity to bite were actually familiar 'insects' he had seen before.

The Flying Gu General, which could chew through metal like tofu; once it broke through skin and flesh, it would instantly burrow into the skull and drag out the brains.

The Witch person was repeating their old trick, aiming to use his spear's suction to break his Iron Spear with these Gu.

It was easy to imagine that if Zhou You used his Iron Spear to swat away the Flying Gu, they would definitely burrow into the spear shaft and then into his palms.

Once the Gu Insects made contact with his skin, it would surely be beyond saving.

Buzz, buzz, buzz! The Flying Gu circled around Zhou You's facial features, narrowing the range and forcing him to use his spear to save himself.

Clang, clang, clang! Zhou You swung his Iron Spear, striking several Flying Gu in one breath, utilizing the vibration force within the Black Cloud Spear; the surface of the Iron Spear vibrated at a high frequency, the ripples acting like a transparent barrier that prevented the Flying Gu from getting close.

However, although the Flying Gu were small, they were incredibly hard; they were merely knocked back but were not injured, nor was there any sign of them retreating. "The spear momentum is continuous and endless, right, the Three-Fold Technique."

Seeing the Flying Gu return after being repelled, never leaving his side and sticking to him like taffy, Zhou You realized something.

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind; the principle of the Three-Fold Technique could be applied to the Black Cloud Spear, like a vast sea of clouds, layered and endless.

As the spear tip extended, a Flying Gu seized the opportunity to approach, landing on the cold spear tip.

Even a Huomei Baoju could not withstand the gnawing power of the Flying Gu, and it looked as if it were about to be burrowed into by the insect.

Zhou You moved his wrist, the spear flower shaken by the tip shrinking to a micron level; if one didn't look closely, one would think it was in a static state.

One fold, two folds, three folds, and even four, five, six folds...

The power of the Iron Spear stacked layer upon layer, accumulating until it was like the tension before a volcanic eruption, and in an instant, it was released with full force.

The heavy momentum of the black clouds erupted, and the Flying Gu attached to the Iron Spear tip were shattered into powder the moment they opened their mouths.

Zhou You scanned his surroundings, sweeping the spear shaft and hitting two Flying Gu simultaneously, shattering them under the impact of the stacked power.

Having dealt with the Flying Gu in two or three strikes, he did not stop; exerting force from his ribs like a bird of prey flapping its wings to dive, he thrust his Iron Spear through the air and into the ground, piercing the Witch person who had released the Gu Insects through and through.

With the corpse impaled on the spear tip, he circled in the air a few times to confirm the body was cold before shaking it off to the ground.

Zhou You looked down at the battlefield below; Pei Li's body was like five-colored glaze, using a millstone-like fist technique to crush the upper bodies of his enemies into meat paste, while Bian Zhou moved as fast as lightning, taking on two Witch people at once...

Liu Fengji and Gaoyang Ruoqiang, although in the midst of chaos, had their Gate Guests and followers proactively clear an open space, allowing the two of them to fully unleash their methods to fight.

Not enough, still far from enough! Zhou You suddenly looked in a certain direction, as news from his alter ego Lu Zhigang reached his ears...

"The ancestor of the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop, Du Taiyue, has responded to the joint invitation of the noble families and sent Disciples holding the Huomei Baoju Wawachong to come for the skin-breaking Witch Banner."

Why was he able to get this news? Because Lu Zhigang was following Du Wuyao, and as a member of the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop in charge of transport, they were escorting the Wawachong to the battlefield.

It is said that after Zhou You joined the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop with Du Wuyao, he was introduced by him; with his Poison Palm being authentic and orthodox, he successfully passed the test to join the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop and became a Disciple of the sect.

After entering the sect, it wasn't as terrifying as he had imagined; the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop was not the hellish scene of bones everywhere and poisonous insects crawling around that the outside world rumored.

In fact, inside the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop, it was no different from a normal sect; poisonous insects were precious resources kept in pools and vessels, so how could they crawl around everywhere? As for white skeletons, they were also very rare.

There were still living areas, markets, and other normal places for sect members to reside and conduct activities.

After Lu Zhigang entered the sect, he was busy all day collecting virulent poisons and refining essences to complete his monthly quota.

Well, after joining the organization, he had become a miserable corporate slave.

This time, escorting the treasure Wawachong was a rare opportunity to go out, and he took the chance to send the news to Zhou You.

The Wawachong was a secret treasure of Du Taiyue, containing eighteen types of ancient virulent poisons, each no less potent than the venom of the Huiyu Snake, as well as over two hundred and twenty types of strange poisons from the world that Du Taiyue had collected.

Numerous virulent poisons were kept in the Wawachong; once released, they would strike exactly where aimed, and breaking the Witch Banner would be a piece of cake.

It is easy to imagine that once the Witch Banner dissolved and vanished, the advantage of the Witch tribes would be gone, and a reversal would surely come.

Moreover, the Disciples of the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop escorting it were also a fresh force; using poison to counter Gu, they could exactly offset the Gu-insect advantage of the Gu-path elite army.
