Chapter 485: Chapter 482: The Cruel Gu Technique

The young man’s face began to bubble incessantly with blisters, and in no time, his entire face was covered with large and small bubbles, swelling his head to a larger size!

"You... you..." His companion was so frightened he couldn’t speak, and for a long while, didn’t know what to say.

As the blisters covered the young man’s head, his sense of pain seemed delayed. Only when his head was filled with blisters did excruciating pain strike. He managed only a piercing scream before collapsing to the ground, yellow, viscous liquid oozing from his mouth. After that, he made no further sound.

Lying on the ground, his limbs twitched spasmodically, and he was only exhaling without inhaling; his condition looked fatal.

Shit, what potent venom! Lin Tian couldn’t help but marvel internally at the power of the venom. These toads were clearly no ordinary creatures.

Li Qingyun just watched as the young man fell and did not offer a helping hand; given the words they had exchanged earlier, her not personally taking his life was already merciful.

Xiao Manxuan couldn’t bear to look at such terrifying venom and had already turned her head away. Not just her, but even a brave man would have felt his legs go weak at the sight of the young man’s head covered in blisters.

Even Li Yue could hardly bear to look straight at it, being young and not as accustomed to such scenes.

"Granny Li, how could this happen? The enemy’s Gu technique is too cruel!" Xiao Manxuan exclaimed.

For the little girl, it was her first time witnessing such a brutal death. Killing someone should not be excessive, and in battle, a swift stroke of the sword or a single gunshot was normal. But watching someone’s face melt away wasn’t just killing; it was more terrifying than death itself.

"This is the art of Gu, which can kill invisibly or let someone die in agony. There’s a saying among Gu Cultivators: to hate someone is not to wish them dead, but to curse them with Gu." Despite the horrific death before her, Li Qingyun remained composed.

She looked at the young man on the ground without expression and said, "This is the enemy’s toad poison. In the five elements, it belongs to water. That’s why we heard water sounds earlier—it was the toads emerging from the sewer. Once infected with toad poison, one’s death is too harrowing to witness. Watch; his death is not the end, but just the beginning."

As if to prove her words, the bubbles on the young man’s head grew increasingly large until they reached their limit, bursting one after another, releasing a yellowish-green liquid.

And after the blisters burst, out came tiny, wriggling creatures—gray-black in color, larger at the head and tapering at the tail—actual tadpoles smaller than the heads of chopsticks!

These were the larvae of the toad, incubated inside the young man’s body, breaking through the blisters, crawling out! Lin Tian was once again shocked by the eerie and cruel nature of Gu techniques.

Gu Cultivators were practically biologists, able to transform a toad with low toxicity into a horrifying toad poison or cultivate an ordinary wild bee into bloodthirsty bee poison; they were capable of so much.

"Ugh..." The sound of retching rose as the two dazed young men came to their senses, only to see again the gruesome and nauseating scene, unable to contain the churning in their stomachs, bending over to vomit.

"Ah..." The first skinny man to speak, unable to withstand the shock, screamed after vomiting and then started running around chaotically, like a headless fly, accidentally crashing into the swarm of toads.

The toads, without hesitation, sprayed their venom at him again, and by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. This time, dozens of toads sprayed not just his face, but his entire body.

The skinny man, aware of the consequences of the venom, had an indescribable look of terror in his eyes as he shouted, "Save me..."

Screaming, they turned and ran back toward their companions, trying to seek help. The last surviving young man wasn’t a fool, and he had no intention of letting him close enough to touch; he thought only of escaping.

But driven by the urge to survive, the skinny figure burst into an astonishing speed. With a sudden acceleration, he caught up with the young man and then wrapped his arms around him, and both of them rolled onto the ground.

No matter how much the young man struggled, the thin one would not let go, as if he had grabbed onto the last straw to save his life. He could only look for help with his eyes toward Li Yue and the others.

Just as he fell, he could see Mr. Qi, and as he looked over, he saw Mr. Qi’s pale and emaciated face, looking like a fearsome Yaksha.

"You... you are... ghosts..." the young man despaired, shivering as he spoke, his eyes also revealing a color of fear.

The two of them clung together, both smeared with toad poison, and before long, blisters began to form all over their bodies. Originally both were emaciated due to drug use, but now with swelling blisters, they increased in size, and their clothes were stretched taut.

The blisters swelled to their limit and, unsurprisingly, burst open. One after another, small gray-black tadpoles crawled out of the blisters.

Oh crap, I’m going to lose my appetite because of this, Lin Tian thought as he witnessed this eerie scene, and he, even as a zombie, felt disgusted.

Even Li Yue, the little poison girl, couldn’t bear such a ghastly sight. Her mouth was tightly closed, and her gaze trembled slightly, indicating her heart was anything but calm at the moment.

Xiao Manxuan wisely looked away early, otherwise, the little girl might be left with a mental scar, which yet remained to be seen.

The most composed was still Li Qingyun, the Gu Cultivator. Her face was expressionless, not because she was naturally cold-hearted but because, having been a Gu Cultivator for seven or eight decades, she had seen too many cruel scenes and had grown accustomed to them.

In military terms, Li Qingyun was like a veteran soldier who had seen the battlefield and wouldn’t fear shooting an enemy dead after witnessing scenes of limbs being torn apart.

Meanwhile, Li Yue was still a rookie, never having seen such bloody scenes, and of course, her heart was shaken by them.

The three young men didn’t last long before being covered by the newly born tadpoles, and their bodies melted as if by corrosion, barely recognizable as human.

Li Qingyun flicked her wrist, and suddenly, she held several red pills in her hand, which she flicked toward the three young men.

As soon as the red pills came into contact with the bodies, white smoke rose, and a sizzling sound was heard. Then the bodies completely dissolved into a puddle of liquid, leaving no bones behind. The newly hatched toad larvae melted along with them, disappearing without a trace, and only a few pieces of clothing remained on the ground.

Corpse Melting Powder? Lin Tian suddenly thought of the name, not expecting to witness it in reality. However, it still fell short compared to Rossi’s corpse decomposition ability, which could obliterate with a wave of his hand.

"Be careful, the toad poison hasn’t been fully stimulated by the enemy’s Gu Cultivator, it’s just instinctively killing any living thing that gets close. Wait until the Gu Cultivator commands them to attack," Li Qingyun reminded Li Yue and Xiao Manxuan.

"Then why don’t we take the opportunity to eliminate them? They look so disgusting," Xiao Manxuan said, glancing at a few dozen toads and wondering.

"Don’t worry, I have ways to deal with them when they come at us. Hmph, although the opponent’s Gu Cultivator is cruel, he lacks experience. He only knows to attack with brutality and does not understand the principle of mutual generation and mutual inhibition," Li Qingyun said, looking up into the darkness ahead, as if speaking to the enemy.
