Chapter 1076: Joining Forces to Besiege

One punch! Just one punch!

"Lao Wu!!!" The eagle-hook-nose cultivator's eyes nearly burst, and the Curved Hook Sword viciously stabbed Han Wuxian's back!

Clang!!!

A piercing clang of metal rang out!

The sharp tip of the Curved Hook Sword pierced Han Wuxian's tattered clothes, viciously stabbing into his chest armor covered with a thin layer of Dark Gold Material! However, the imagined scene of piercing flesh and blood did not appear! The sword tip was like striking the toughest divine metal, only penetrating less than half an inch before being firmly locked by a force incredibly tough, containing Stellar Source Power and Earth's Will!

Han Wuxian's body shuddered violently, another mouthful of blood with a golden gleam spurted out, and the intense pain from his back almost made him faint. But he used the impact of that sword, lunging forward violently and rolling, narrowly avoiding the dagger Lao San thrust from the side, which bore deadly toxic azure light!

He half-kneeled in the snow, gasping violently, each breath bringing a burning pain and a strong smell of blood. The Dark Gold Material on his surface had dimmed considerably from the earlier eruption and from taking the attack, and the star patterns on its surface were somewhat disordered. His crimson-gold eyes fixed tightly on the remaining eagle-hook-nose cultivator and Lao San, his eyes burning with a mad, weak yet wounded lone wolf-like ferocity!

"Han... Han Wuxian?! Are you Han Wuxian?!" The eagle-hook-nose cultivator stared at Han Wuxian's signature crimson-gold eyes and the barely discernible outline despite his disheveled state, and screamed as if seeing a ghost!

He recognized him, this brat who had been hunted and issued a warrant by the Profound Gate many years ago.

Today he realized, indeed he could not even gauge how strong the opponent's aura was.

"Impossible! You should have died long ago!" The ruthless youth Lao San also recognized Han Wuxian; the ferocity on his face was instantly replaced by immense fear, his hand gripping the dagger trembling.

"Heh… cough cough…" Han Wuxian coughed up several mouthfuls of bloody spittle, staining the white snow beneath him red. He cracked his mouth open, revealing a bloody, ice-cold smile to the extreme, his voice hoarse like a broken gong: "Turns out… you're the scum of Green Scale Peak… looks like… Heaven… hasn't treated me badly…"

He slowly raised the right arm that had just blasted a person to death, its Dark Gold Light now somewhat dim. The arm trembled slightly, obviously the previous strike had consumed enormous power and suffered severe backlash. But the killing intent in his eyes locked onto the remaining two as if it were substance.

"Want to live… now… get lost!" Han Wuxian's voice sounded like it came from the Nine Abyss, carrying an undeniable threat of death: "Otherwise… who's next…?"

The eagle-hook-nose cultivator and Lao San looked at Lao Wu's gruesome corpse on the ground, then at Han Wuxian's crimson-gold eyes like those of a bloodthirsty beast, and at his dark gold arm that, though trembling, exuded a terrifying aura; a bone-chilling cold surged from the soles of their feet straight to the crown of their heads!

Fear instantly overwhelmed greed!

Han Wuxian's ice-cold, bone-piercing threatening words, like poisoned frost, slammed hard into the hearts of the eagle-hook-nose cultivator and Lao San. On the rim of the pit, Lao Wu's gruesome corpse still steamed, the strong smell of blood mixed with the snow's cold, stimulating every nerve of theirs.

Fear, like an icy flood, instantly drowned greed and anger.

"Big… Big Brother…" The ruthless youth Lao San's hand gripping the dagger trembled even more, his voice choked with tears, he instinctively stepped back half a pace and looked toward the eagle-hook-nose cultivator. Han Wuxian's apparition, like a demon returning from hell, and the terrifying might of his earlier earth-shattering punch that killed Lao Wu with a single blow, completely shattered his ruthlessness.

The eagle-hook-nose cultivator's face turned ashen, his eyes flashing wildly. He fixed his gaze on Han Wuxian, half-kneeling in the snow, his aura weak but his eyes wolf-like, and glanced at Lao Wu's corpse on the ground.

Reason told him that Han Wuxian was spent, the terrifying punch just now and the backlash from blocking his sword were certainly not light! Now is the best chance; joining forces with Lao San, they might be able to kill him! As long as they kill Han Wuxian, that strange Dark Gold Material, and any other secrets he might possess, will belong to them,

The poisonous fire of greed flared up again in his heart, overriding fear.

"Lao San! Don't let him bluff you!" The eagle-hook-nose cultivator roared harshly, his eyes flashing with vicious ferocity: "He's already gravely wounded and dying! That punch just now exhausted his strength! If we don't act now and wait for him to recover, we'll all die! Avenge Lao Wu! Kill him, and split the treasure evenly!"

"Roar!" Lao San, spurred by Big Brother's shout, felt his fear recede slightly, then greed and a hint of ferocity reignited. Thinking of the marvel of the Dark Gold Material and the secrets Han Wuxian might hide, he gritted his teeth, his face once again showing ruthlessness: "Kill him!"

Before his words even fell, the eagle-hook-nose cultivator took the lead in attacking! He no longer tried to get close, but instead fiercely slapped his waist storage pouch, three talismans flashing with azure-green light, shaped like poisonous snakes, shot out! The talismans ignited in the wind, turning into three hissing, foul-smelling poisonous mist-emitting azure-green phantom snakes, like arrows released from a bow, striking in a triangular formation toward Han Wuxian.

It was none other than the extraordinarily vicious "Azure Phosphor Poison Curse Talisman"! At the same time, his Curved Hook Sword flew from his hand, turning into a sinister, tricky arc of light, hidden behind the phantom snakes, straight for Han Wuxian's throat! This was to force Han Wuxian to take the poison curse head-on, then finish him off with a flying sword!

Lao San also moved at the same moment! He fiercely hurled the dagger "Silent Kiss" coated with azure-blue light! The dagger turned into a azure-blue bolt of lightning, carrying piercing cold and deadly poison, straight for Han Wuxian's heart! He himself quickly formed a seal; a palm-sized shield covered in spikes instantly expanded to protect his front, while he muttered incantations, preparing to unleash some sinister binding technique!

The two cooperated seamlessly, unleashing all their killing moves; clearly they had made up their minds, not giving Han Wuxian even a moment to breathe.

Faced with this deadly situation of front-and-back assault, poison curse and flying blades arriving together, Han Wuxian's crimson-gold pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinprick!

He couldn't meet force with force! In his current state, blocking any attack head-on would be a dead end!

In the flash of lightning and sparks, the instinct to survive and countless experiences of life-and-death battles instantly took over! He did not try to block or dodge the three extremely fast phantom snakes, but instead violently rolled his body to the side!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The three Azure Phosphor poison snake phantoms slammed hard into the snow where Han Wuxian had just been, instantly corroding the accumulated snow and rock into three smoky, charred pits emitting green smoke, and a foul poisonous mist spread out!

Han Wuxian narrowly avoided the poison snake phantoms, but the rolling motion completely threw him off balance.

The sinister Curved Hook Sword and the deadly toxic azure dagger, like fangs of death, were already within arm's reach.

The Curved Hook Sword aimed for the throat, the dagger for the heart!

The angle was tricky, sealing off all his space to dodge!

There was no way to avoid it!

A flicker of madness flashed in Han Wuxian's eyes! He forcibly twisted his body, raising his right arm covered with dim Dark Gold Material, not to block, but… to grab the slightly less threatening, faster azure dagger "Silent Kiss"!

At the same time, he completely abandoned defense of his vulnerable chest and abdomen!

"Courting death!" Lao San saw Han Wuxian daring to grab his "Silent Kiss" bare-handed, and a cruel, vicious grin spread across his face! His dagger was coated with the deadly poison "Bone-Eating Azure"; contact meant instant corrosion, and drawing blood sealed the throat!
