Upon seeing this, Lan Haiping's round face, which was already horrified by the death of the old man in black, became even more somber, almost dripping with water.

As a master who had spent many years in the Dan realm, he could naturally see the terrifying destructive power attached to the four short swords that were flying in the air.

It was definitely not a simple throwing of concealed weapons.

"That arrogant brat dares to do two things at once!"

Lan Haiping roared angrily.

However, he also knew at this moment that his aura had been locked by these four flying knives.

If we forcefully rush over to save the white-haired old woman, we will inevitably expose a fatal flaw.

With a sudden thought, he abruptly tore off the string of patina-covered bodhi seeds in his hand.

In an instant, dozens of round Bodhi seeds exploded in mid-air, turning into thick clouds of black mist.

Within the mist, countless eerie flying insects with barbs could be vaguely seen frantically flapping their wings.

The flying insects formed a thick insect shield, completely protecting him from behind.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Four willow-leaf blades, gleaming with a chilling light, struck the insect shield like a storm, producing a piercing sound of metal clashing against metal.

Although each dagger could kill a large number of flying insects with each pierce, Lan Haiping's foundation as a Dan realm expert was indeed profound.

He continuously activated his Gu technique, forcefully blocking my Qi-controlling attack on the steps.

However, that is exactly what I wanted to achieve.

All I need is for him to be unable to concentrate for those brief few seconds, and that will be enough.

While I was throwing out four lancets to intercept Lan Haiping, my right hand was not idle.

With a flick of my wrist, the willow-leaf knife hidden in my sleeve slid into my palm, where I gripped it tightly.

At this moment, I had rushed to within five meters of the white-haired old woman.

Faced with my reckless charge, the white-haired old woman also became completely ruthless.

Her once kind old face was now twisted like a vengeful ghost.

"You think you can kill this old woman? You're still too green!"

The old woman let out a piercing scream, and the snake-headed cane in her hand slammed heavily on the ground.

In an instant, the purplish-red poisonous miasma around her began to churn violently, like boiling water.

The concentration of the poisonous miasma instantly increased several times, transforming into a tangible wall of poison that descended upon me.

Not only that, but all sorts of strange and grotesque worms kept emerging from her wide sleeves, her gray hair, and even from her mouth and nose.

There are strangely shaped, colorful centipedes, venomous spiders that glow with an eerie light, and soft-bodied worms that wriggle like leeches.

These Gu worms, like a tidal wave, densely covered the bluestone slabs, and under the cover of the poisonous miasma, surged madly towards me.

This is the full extent of a Gu Master at the Dan Realm who unleashed his full potential at the critical moment of life and death.

Any cultivator of similar strength and level would likely have to temporarily avoid such a display of power.

However, faced with this series of deadly attacks that were enough to make one's scalp tingle, my steps did not falter in the slightest.

Neither dodging nor avoiding.

I just crashed headfirst into that purplish-red wall of poisonous miasma.

The potent poisonous miasma, powerful enough to instantly turn an ordinary person into a puddle of pus, was blocked by the layer of baleful aura with a jade-like luster the moment it touched my body.

At this moment, the jade-colored baleful aura resembled a greedy beast.

Upon contact with the poisonous miasma, it surprisingly began to actively devour and decompose the toxins, even emitting a series of soft "sizzling" sounds.

The various Gu worms that surged in like a tide suddenly seemed to encounter some kind of natural enemy when they got within two meters of my body.

In an instant, they let out a series of terrified hissing sounds.

Although Gu worms are artificially cultivated poisons, they are still biological organisms in the final analysis.

Instincts etched into your bones cannot be erased.

The dragon's might within me, infused with the gift of the dragon soul, was a devastating blow to these low-level poisonous insects.

At this moment, they not only dared not approach me, but instead began to retreat uncontrollably.

Some insects even froze and died on the spot under the dragon's might.

At this moment, I am like a giant ship breaking through the waves, advancing unstoppably in this vast ocean of poison.

When the old woman saw that her prized poisonous miasma and Gu worms had no effect on me, the horror in her eyes finally turned into madness.

"Then let's die together!"

She bit her tongue hard, and a mouthful of bright red blood mixed with a hint of dark gold sprayed directly onto the snake-headed cane in her hand.

The instant she spat out that mouthful of blood, a golden bolt of lightning shot out from her collar.

It was a small snake, only a few centimeters long.

Its entire body has an eerie dark gold color, and its scales even have some natural rune patterns.

Its speed was incredibly fast, even exceeding the limits of what the naked eye could perceive.

In the blink of an eye, the small golden snake pierced through the poisonous miasma.

This is her natal Gu!

The power of a Gu Master at the Dan Realm, nurtured with his own blood and sweat and his natal Gu for decades, should not be underestimated.

By the time I sensed danger, the little golden snake had almost instantly coiled itself around my neck.

Its tiny fangs gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, completely ignoring the protective aura around my body, and even breaking through my tough skin reinforced by the threshold of my Great Mountain-Shaking Strength.

Almost without any resistance, it fiercely bit down on the carotid artery in my neck.

"hiss--"

A sharp, stinging pain instantly spread throughout my body.

The toxicity of this natal Gu is indeed frighteningly potent.

In the instant I was bitten, I even felt my vision blur and my head spin.

Even the ever-flowing malevolent energy within his body momentarily stagnated.

If it were before, that bite would probably have killed me or rendered me completely incapable of fighting.

But for now... that's all.

The mysterious, cool aura that had been hovering between my eyebrows instantly flowed through my body like ice water the moment I sensed the danger, forcefully suppressing the dizziness that was trying to invade my brain.

At the same time, after a brief pause, the malevolent energy within me seemed to be enraged, unleashing an even more ferocious counterattack.

The jade-colored malevolent energy surged wildly towards the wound on the neck, tightly enveloping the snake venom and poison that were trying to spread along the bloodstream.

Then it gradually devours and dissolves.

Although the stinging pain in my neck was still there, it could no longer stop me from moving.

At this moment, I had already withstood the attacks of the poisonous miasma and my natal Gu, and rushed to the white-haired old woman.

Looking at her old face, which had turned ashen white from unleashing her natal Gu, yet held a hint of crazed anticipation, I couldn't help but twitch my lips upwards, revealing a sinister grin filled with murderous intent.

"Old man, your snake really hurts when it bites."
