What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

After these beetles appeared, they kept moving, surging towards me like a green tide.

Faced with the three men's escalating and ferocious attack, which had almost completely blocked all escape routes, I knew that the time I had been waiting for had come.

At this moment, I deliberately slowed down my pace slightly.

While dodging those purplish-red miasma tentacles, I pretended to be exhausted, and one of the tentacles gently grazed my shoulder.

To make the performance more realistic, I even deliberately dispelled a trace of protective aura from my shoulder the moment we made contact.

Although the jade-colored evil energy within me immediately devoured the trace of poison that was trying to invade my meridians, I still staggered.

At the same time, my face instantly turned as pale as paper.

I let out a muffled groan, and my once agile movements became sluggish. My hands, gripping the willow-leaf knife, even began to tremble slightly.

"cough……"

I clutched my chest and coughed violently.

My gaze also subtly revealed a hint of "fear" and "weakness".

Immediately, I staggered backward as I haphazardly slashed at the approaching green beetle with my lancet.

It seems they have truly reached their limit.

Seeing my appearance, the old man in black, who had been watching my aura closely, suddenly burst into uncontrollable ecstasy.

For these Gu masters, once an enemy is poisoned by their carefully concocted Gu poison...

Even those at the same level in the Dan realm will experience stagnation of Qi and blood within a short period of time, leaving them vulnerable to attack.

More importantly, the holy envoy wearing the bronze mask had just made that promise:

Whoever defeats me will become the head of the Lan Clan and gain the right to immortality!

The temptation was too great, enough to make a Danjing cultivator who believed in immortality lose his reason and caution.

"Hahaha! Kid, your life is mine now!"

The old man in black suddenly let out a greedy laugh.

In order to seize the first credit before Lan Haiping and the white-haired old woman, he actually abandoned ranged attacks, and with a swift movement, rushed out of the shadows on the left.

As he charged toward me, his claws bent like eagle claws, and his fingernails gleamed with a ghostly green poisonous light.

In the palm of his hand, he held a strange, fleshy worm that emitted a nauseating stench.

That was the deadly worm he was preparing to completely control me.

Five meters, three meters, two meters...

The old man in black was very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was already close to me.

At this moment, his gaunt face was filled with a ferocious and excited expression of impending success.

The claw that was holding the strange insect came straight for my face without any mercy.

And just when he thought I had completely lost the ability to resist, in that moment of ecstasy...

My body, which was originally "weak" and trembling, suddenly became like a bowstring stretched to its limit, instantly taut.

In those eyes that were originally filled with "fear," all pretense vanished in an instant.

All that remained was endless coldness and chilling murderous intent.

"I've been waiting for you."

I whispered those five words in a voice that only the two of us could hear.

The next second, the jade-colored baleful energy in my dantian suddenly erupted throughout my limbs and bones.

The force was so violent that the bluestone slab beneath my feet instantly cracked into countless pieces.

I completely ignored the poisonous claw that was reaching for my face, and simply stretched out my left hand, thrusting it upwards.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out.

My left hand gripped the old man's wrist tightly, and the powerful force instantly crushed his wrist bones.

The foul-smelling insect slipped from his limp palm and fell to the ground.

The old man in black's face froze in an instant, replaced by disbelief and horror.

He couldn't understand how someone who was already poisoned could still unleash such terrifying power and speed.

At this moment, he opened his mouth, as if trying to call for help.

It also seemed as if it desperately wanted to activate the natal Gu hidden within its body.

But how could I possibly give him that chance?

At the same moment my left hand gripped his wrist, the scalpel in my right hand transformed into a silver lightning bolt.

"Sizzle—"

A faint sound, like a sharp blade slicing through flesh, rang out in the night.

The scalpel, carrying a chilling aura, sliced ​​through the skin and muscles of the old man in black's throat without any resistance.

He precisely severed his trachea and carotid artery.

Hot blood gushed from his neck, splattering onto my black casual clothes.

It then slid down the waterproof fabric.

The old man in black stared wide-eyed, a gurgling sound escaping his throat.

He clutched his neck tightly with both hands, trying to stop the loss of life.

But it was all in vain.

As a Gu master, he didn't even have time to summon his most prized natal Gu.

Lifeline was completely extinguished in my hands.

I expressionlessly released my left hand from his wrist, letting his emaciated body slump heavily onto the bluestone slab covered with green beetles, like a tattered sack.

All of this happened too fast.

Lan Haiping, who was standing on the steps, and the white-haired old woman on his right, were so close that they didn't even have time to call for help.

A gentle night breeze swept by, seemingly trying to carry away the thick stench of blood, but it was all in vain.

At that moment, I didn't stop moving at all.

Now that I've taken down one of them and broken through one corner of this siege, there's absolutely no need for me to hold back or pretend to be weak any longer.

"Next."

I looked at the white-haired old woman not far away and silently prayed to myself.

At the same time, a fierce and powerful aura belonging to the superior swept outwards from me without restraint.

I suddenly exerted force with both legs, and my whole body turned into a black afterimage.

Stepping on the green beetles crawling all over the ground, I charged straight at the white-haired old woman with a kind smile.

During the charge, my wrists suddenly jerked.

I threw the two blood-stained willow-leaf knives that I had been holding into the air.

At the same time, I swiftly reached down to my lower back and pulled out two more spare scalpels, which I also tossed into the night.

The four scalpels did not fall in a parabolic trajectory the moment they were released.

A mysterious, cool sensation suddenly jolted deep within my brow.

With immense spiritual power combined with the jade-colored baleful aura emanating from his body, he instantly took absolute control of the four deadly weapons.

Fifty meters.

Within this range, as long as I concentrate my mental energy enough, controlling several throwing knives is as easy as using my own limbs.

"go."

I gave a low shout.

The four willow-leaf blades in mid-air suddenly emitted a crisp buzzing sound, and a faint jade-colored luster flowed across their surfaces.

They were like four bloodthirsty silver fish swimming in the night sky, drawing four eerie and sharp arcs in mid-air.

It swept directly toward Lan Haiping, who was on the steps preparing to offer assistance.
