Chapter 461: A Sword Thrust Into the Poison Beast's Eye!

~8 min read 1,441 words

Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi continued to use the thin threads in their hands to control the poisonous python.

That poisonous python was both in pain and angry, truly going berserk inside the Five Poisons Sect.

And the Cloud Valley disciples behind them also came chasing after.

Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi then used this poisonous python to slash left and right in a frenzied kill.

Before coming out today.

Li Qingluo had already rummaged out a heap of anti-toxin sachets from the Witch Moon Sect's warehouse, so now the guards and assassins of Prince Su's mansion also dared to show themselves and display their skills.

They nimbly hid behind the huge body of the poisonous python.

They were already far away.

They could also take the opportunity to wipe clean the scattered disciples of Cloud Valley and the Five Poisons Sect on the fringes.

Jin Ya also raised her sword and launched a fierce slaughter there.

Every sword strike was filled with hatred.

Each move sent people to their deaths.

The people of the Five Poisons Sect and Cloud Valley kept transmitting miserable screams.

When Elder Sifang and the Elder of the Five Poisons Sect saw this, they immediately rushed forward and cried out in pain: "Withdraw—quickly withdraw!!"

However, the guards of Prince Su's mansion had already gone and completely blocked the road down the mountain.

Anyone who dared to flee would be executed on the spot.

They had long since had no way to retreat.

Soon, the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect and Cloud Valley were all killed off, leaving only a few.

Elder Sifang cried out in anguish: "Witch Moon Sect, I will fight you to the death!"

Jin Ya: "I also have this intention!"

She rushed forward and truly grappled with Elder Sifang.

Although Elder Sifang's skills were a notch higher, Li Qingluo occasionally shot a flying arrow, either hitting Elder Sifang's leg or her wrist.

Elder Sifang angrily cursed: "You beast who shoots cold arrows from behind, do you still have any martial virtue?!"

"I, the old one, am engaged in a life-and-death duel with the leader of the Witch Moon Sect, yet you meddle behind the scenes—this is the fine tradition of your Witch Moon Sect!"

Li Qingluo: "Isn't it about time you, old hag, said such things?"

"When you, Cloud Valley, allied with the Five Poisons Sect and the Union Harmony Sect, ambushed our Witch Moon Sect from behind, when did you ever speak of martial virtue?"

"It was you who first ceased to be human."

"We are merely using your own methods against you!"

"Old thing Sifang, today the Witch Moon Sect is also your burial ground!"

Having said that, Li Qingluo shot another sleeve arrow; this time she deliberately aimed off, shooting at Elder Sifang's shoulder.

Elder Sifang shifted her body, inadvertently exposing half of it, and was pierced through by Jin Ya's sword.

"You——"

She widened her eyes, pointing at Jin Ya.

Jin Ya expressionlessly pulled out her sword.

She turned and hurried toward the Elder of the Five Poisons Sect.

Here, after Li Qingluo helped Jin Ya, she turned her gaze to the belly of the poisonous python.

She saw that it had been swollen to be large and round.

Seeing that people had already been stuffed into its throat, it was still slowly hunting.

However, its body had also become much heavier, even its reactions slowed.

Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi saw the moment was ripe; after exchanging a tacit glance, Duan Rongshi reached out and shoved Li Qingluo forward heavily.

Li Qingluo rushed toward the python's head.

The Azure Fall Sword stabbed straight toward the python's eyes!

She and Duan Rongshi had analyzed this on the way here.

Exactly, where is the python's weak point?

Where can one strike to kill it with a single blow?

Mouth, nose, ears, eyes?

Perhaps all could be tried.

However, the first to try must be its eyes!

Those beastly eyes are cold and poisonous.

If one could first blind it, it would surely be of great help in killing it!

Moreover, if even its eyes cannot be pierced, then this python truly cannot be killed; it would be better to flee early.

Fortunately, the Azure Fall Sword was indeed thrust in several inches.

Li Qingluo was overjoyed.

The poisonous python, however, shook its head violently from the pain.

Li Qingluo was flung backward into the air by the shake.

Duan Rongshi leapt forward, caught her in his arms, and the two slowly landed.

The poisonous python, suffering from the pain, finally gained its freedom.

It roared, turned its head, and lunged at Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi.

Duan Rongshi, however, gave a cold smile.

With one hand he shielded Li Qingluo behind him, with the other he slowly raised the bracelet he held.

The poison python even froze for a moment.

But its body was already unable to stop, and it could only watch helplessly as Duan Rongshi seized the bracelet and flung it aside with force.

Its head was actually flung away and slammed to the ground in one sweep.

Poison Python:?

This black-clad, black-masked person—are they even a normal person at all!?

In fact, although Duan Rongshi had left the python's back,

but the fine silk that he and Li Qingluo had wound around the python's mouth had not been completely loosened.

He kept holding the initiative to control that poison python, not giving it a chance to truly be free.

The poison python hissed angrily, yet it found that even rising up had become strenuous.

As it turned out, it had simply eaten too much…

Duan Rongshi drew the long sword hanging at his waist.

This sword is called: Star Slay.

It was also the long sword he used to block her path to board the ship when Li Qingluo met him in the Qinhuai River.

Star Slay and Azure Fall.

They were originally a natural pair.

At this moment, Duan Rongshi stepped forward and also stabbed Star Slay into the poison python's other eye.

The poison python howled as it twisted its bulky body.

Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi also merely slowly retreated backward.

Seeing that it was temporarily unable to thrash, Li Qingluo then turned and walked toward the already dying Elder Si Fang.

"You… what exactly did you do to them…?"

Si Fang pointed a finger at Li Qingluo, only wanting an answer.

As it turned out, she was the direct maternal aunt of Zu Li Ya and Za Yi Na.

Si Fang was originally a Western Regions person.

Back then, when she married into MiaoJiang, she was originally just an ordinary woman.

But she brought Zu Li Ya and Za Yi Na to practice the Gu poison arts, and gradually she herself became interested and completely immersed in it.

Later, she even joined Cloud Valley earlier than Zu Li Ya and Za Yi Na, becoming the first outsider shaman in all of MiaoJiang.

Her talent surpassed that of Zu Li Ya and Za Yi Na.

But because of her foreign identity, even though her ability was the strongest in the sect at the time, she still could not become the sect leader.

However, although she harbored resentment deep down, she never did anything to seize the sect by force; she merely pushed Zu Li Ya step by step toward the sect leader's position.

Li Qingluo also came to MiaoJiang and only learned these things after inquiring about Zu Li Ya.

At this moment, she crouched before Si Fang.

She told her word by word: "It's precisely because your sins are too many that they never got a good ending."

"Want to know how they died?"

"Why not go to hell and ask them yourself!"

"Don't forget, the people of the Witch Moon Sect are still waiting for you down below!"

After saying that, she drew a dagger and personally cut her down.

Elder Si Fang died in the pool of blood, eyes wide with unwillingness.

Turning her head, Jin Yin, with the cooperation of Nan Gongdi and the other guards, also slaughtered the Witch Moon Sect's people to the last.

Across the mountains and fields, in an instant the ground was littered with the corpses of the remaining disciples of the three major sects.

Those still standing were only Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi's people.

There was also the sect leader of the Union Harmony Sect, Ji Jin Xue.

Even A Zhi and Ya mei were hacked to death by random blades from the Five Poisons Sect and Cloud Valley in the recent chaos.

Especially A Zhi's death was the most brutal.
