Chapter 407: Chapter 219: Thinking of Escaping?

"Zzzzzz..."

Iron chains whipped through the air, their black tips piercing with incredible sharpness through the explosive wave of the Primordial Qi Ball. Like a spirit python, the black iron chains, filled with vigorous True Qi, vibrated intensely, dispersing the energy wave.

The turbulent air, previously swirling from the blast of Primordial Qi, suddenly cleared when Meng Wuchang took action, revealing the area that had been obscured by the explosion of Primordial Energy.

The pitch-black iron chains moved like coiling pythons, circling around Meng Wuchang and Shang Yi among others, constantly shifting and repelling the energy waves.

Although nearly thirty people had perished in the blast of the Circulation Eight Extremes Formation, in the end, about twenty people were saved by Meng Wuchang’s protective efforts.

Most importantly, even after facing the brunt of the explosion and strenuously saving the lives of about twenty people, Meng Wuchang’s breathing was only slightly disordered, and he sustained no injuries.

Masters of the True Pill Realm were truly untouchable to these Innate Realm martial artists. Even if Meng Wuchang’s True Pill Realm status had a "Fake" qualifier to it, and even if those eight had employed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and Circulation Eight Extremes Formation.

"Divine Catcher Meng, truly impressive. It seems I’ve underestimated you,"

Qing Yu’s voice echoed and bounced in the wind, "You even managed to protect more than twenty people, it seems my array still needs some improvements."

"However, even so, they still won’t survive..."

The cryptic words barely faded away when Shang Yi felt his body beginning to stiffen involuntarily, and breathing also became difficult.

"Poison..." Shang Yi spoke in disbelief, "When did it...?"

Meng Wuchang twitched his nose slightly. Being quite skilled in poison techniques himself, after a brief examination, his gaze locked onto a certain substance mixed in the air, "It’s blood."

The eight black-clothed men had used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and Circulation Eight Extremes Formation, their bodies exploding into a blood fog that mingled in the air, their blood containing poison.

"It seems that Zhenyu Qianye is more useful than I imagined," Qing Yu remarked from a distance, watching as the people from Six Gates began to fall one by one, leaving only Meng Wuchang and Shang Yi standing.

Zhenyu Qianye had to be placed in water and then exposed to sunlight for its potency to take effect. The blood vessels of those eight black-clothed men had been injected with Zhenyu Qianye, their blood mixed with it.

After exploding into a blood mist, this blood was exposed to sunlight and began to take effect, spreading invisible, odorless, and tasteless poison gas through the air.

This kind of poison that doesn’t kill people, as described in the original work, was something Qing Yu had harshly criticized when he had acquired it. After all, a poison made from such a highly toxic substance as Zhenyu, but not lethal, was indeed laughable.

But in practice, Qing Yu realized that although Zhenyu Qianye did not kill, its paralyzing effect on the body far exceeded its grade.

Shang Yi was also a Divine Origin Realm martial artist, not utterly immune to all poisons but hardly vulnerable to non-lethal toxins. Yet now, he was gradually losing control of his body under the toxicity of Zhenyu Qianye, his consciousness also beginning to blur.

"It seems that the things of the Qin Dynasty world are quite useful."

Upon reflection, within the annals of the Yin Yang Family, there seemed to be a record of a Gu Worm called "Corpse God Curse," which Qing Yu thought might be worth a try to cultivate and use.

As Shang Yi and the others succumbed to the poison of Zhenyu Qianye, Meng Wuchang’s forces ambushed in another part of the mountain forest were also under attack.

The chilling wind howled, and murderous intent crisscrossed through the darkness as the glint of the Demon Blade Guard’s attacks flickered incessantly in the air.

Not having Meng Wuchang’s protection, within moments, the area was awash with blood.

Back with Meng Wuchang, the attack was far from over; from within the forest, once again, eight figures emerged, identical to those seen before.

Seeing these eight figures, Meng Wuchang immediately realized that the situation might be spiraling out of control.

The explosion just now hadn’t hurt him, but it inevitably still had an impact on him. If the same array formation repeated or even simply overlaid itself, the mishap that had befallen him at the Cloud Peak stronghold could very well recur here.

Just as Meng Wuchang considered this possibility, he saw sixteen figures dressed in the same black apparel emerge from the woods.

Twenty-four men, triple the power, or rather more than triple, because their auras, grouped in threes, compounded, meaning the deployed Circulation Eight Extremes Formation was definitely more than just three times more powerful.

"Run!"

The thought burst into Meng Wuchang’s mind, and he quickly put it into action.

He had miscalculated. He had thought his strength would easily crush Gong Ziyu unless the latter could summon a real True Pill Realm master.

As it stood, it appeared the enemy couldn’t call on a True Pill Realm master, but the continual explosion arrays alone could greatly affect him.

Under these circumstances, Meng Wuchang wasn’t without the possibility of capsizing.

So, Meng Wuchang fled.

He abandoned Shang Yi and the others and ran.

The black iron chains swept through, instantly slicing a group of the black-clothed men into several pieces.

This unknown array required time and synchronization with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi; otherwise, the array caster’s body would explode before the array itself, causing the array to collapse.

For Meng Wuchang, this was enough time to kill all eight array casters.

But the enemy wasn’t limited to these eight people.

In the forest, arrays had begun to stir the Primordial Energy, and Meng Wuchang could sense the Energy starting to surge violently.

He could kill eight men or even sixteen, but in the end, it was impossible to kill everyone within a few breaths’ time and prevent the array formation from taking shape.

Thus, Meng Wuchang could only flee.

’Maybe only a real True Pill Realm master could kill him.’ While leaping through the air, Meng Wuchang entertained this thought.

As a pretender to the True Pill, he wasn’t quite like a real True Pill, lacking the qualitative transformation that could truly crush quantitative change and ignore these cumulative explosions.

Had Lu Qifeng personally come, maybe he would have found Meng Wuchang and killed him right when Gong Ziyu spoke up.

’It looks like I’ll have to call Lu Qifeng. Gong Ziyu’s capabilities far exceed my expectations. He must be killed.’

As Meng Wuchang thought this, he released his True Qi, colliding with the nearby exploding Circulation Eight Extremes Formation, and then using the mutual force of the impact, he quickly retreated.

Although this peculiar array was astonishingly powerful, the caster’s strength was ultimately too weak; perhaps it could threaten the Divine Origin Realm, but for him, as long as the blasts weren’t compounded to a certain extent and left to synchronize, it wasn’t much of a threat.

However, while the Circulation Eight Extremes Formation wasn’t much of a threat, the sudden appearance of this person was a different matter entirely.

"Divine Constable Meng, why the rush to leave?"

This time, the voice wasn’t an echoing one lost in the wind; it was very real and coming from not far away.

Meng Wuchang turned around and saw the figure wearing a bronze mask.
