Chapter 83 Poison Techniques
It had been half a month since Lu Yang arrived in Nanning County.
The southern barbarians are still wreaking havoc in the south, and since Lu Changfeng has come, he naturally cannot do nothing.
Defending without attacking is not his style.
Before he arrived, the Yang family could only guard Nanning City. Now that he's here, if the Yang family can still only guard Nanning City, then what's the point of his trip?
The intentions of the Southern Barbarians are currently unclear, but the Lu family has its own plans; they are preparing to take over Biannan County.
Since we are going to take over, we cannot allow the southern barbarians to wreak havoc, and we must also win back the hearts and minds of the people.
Now that the Lu family is in charge of important matters, if they can help the Southern Barbarians escape, then the Lu family will be the saviors of the entire southern border. At that time, even the Yang family will have to step aside.
However, the appearance of the Soul Eater still weighed heavily on their minds.
It wasn't until yesterday, when Chen Futong, the patriarch of the Chen family, arrived, that Lu Changfeng finally made up his mind.
Soul Devourer has a method for cultivating the soul, and Chen Futong also has a family-inherited sword technique that is no less powerful than his.
As for the other cultivators, what did Lu Changfeng have to fear with just his sword and his own body?
Moreover, the Southern Barbarians probably knew that they had all occupied Nanning County, so they started to play a strategy, bypassing Nanning County to attack the other two counties, and even intended to surround them.
Lu Changfeng could not allow such a thing to happen, so he immediately organized several small teams to go out and gather information about the Southern Barbarians in preparation for a counterattack.
This is war. What matters in war? First, logistics, and second, intelligence.
If you don't even know the enemy's situation and foolishly charge forward, what difference is there between that and courting death?
The Chen family, the Yang family, rogue cultivators, and Qi-cultivating families all participated, and Lu Yang was no exception. Lu Changfeng intended to hone Lu Yang's swordsmanship, because a good swordsman is never cultivated by staying at home in seclusion.
It's just a short distance from the outskirts of Nanning County, so there shouldn't be any problems.
However, Lu Yang's team was just unlucky.
Lu Qingwen led the team, bringing two disciples from the Lu family as a gesture of goodwill. The rest were all independent cultivators and subordinate Qi Refining family cultivators.
With the Lu family members present, they couldn't say that the Lu family was sending them to their deaths.
The great battle has just begun; public sentiment is crucial.
Lu Yang and his group of ten set out last night, heading forward to gather information about the Southern Barbarians and the extent of local damage.
They had just arrived at a village on the outskirts of Nanning County when they ran into a group of evil cultivators.
The leader of the evil cultivators was also at the peak of Qi Refining, and his cultivation was no weaker than Lu Qingwen's. He raised the Soul Flag and was actually devouring souls and seizing spirits.
His dozen or so evil cultivators were all busy with their own things; some wanted bones, some wanted flesh and blood, some wanted heads, some wanted feet, and some were still torturing people and collecting negative emotions.
This scene made Lu Qingwen and the others frown, but they still had a mission. The opponent was not weak, and Lu Qingwen was unwilling to take action. After all, Biannan was ravaged by the Southern Barbarians, and there were many similar scenes. They simply couldn't save them all.
However, the leader of the evil cultivators was surprisingly perceptive and sensed their presence before they could retreat.
A great battle has begun.
The enemy is too powerful; we definitely can't win in a fight, so we can only flee.
Lu Qingwen arranged for them to escape separately and meet in Nanning County. Lu Yang was fast, but it was unclear what this late-stage Qi Refining evil cultivator was thinking, ignoring the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator and choosing him instead.
They chased and fled, and even after an incense stick's time had passed, they still didn't give up, and their attacks became increasingly urgent.
Ah!
Just then, Lu Yang felt a chill run down his spine. What underhanded trick was the other party going to use now that made him feel threatened?
However, none of that matters. The best defense is offense. With a sweep of spiritual sense, the opponent was clearly casting a spell. Since I sensed the danger, I decided to prevent them from using their underhanded tactics.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed, and Lu Yang appeared in front of the evil cultivator in the next moment. The Azure Cang Sword, without charging up its power, simply unleashed a thunderbolt from the ground.
What!
The evil cultivator was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that a mere cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining would dare to turn around and attack him, a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining.
Where did they get the audacity to do that?!
Because they hadn't considered it, the evil cultivators saw that Lu Yang was slippery and they couldn't catch up with him for a while, so they prepared to give Lu Yang a hard time.
Although he had only just begun to learn this poison technique and was not yet proficient in its use, with a long wind-up and the risk of backlash if interrupted, he dared not use it against a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, so why would he be afraid of this mere fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator!
This is a good opportunity to test the power of his poison skills.
But reality is often surprising.
Lightning flashed, and before the evil cultivator could even stop his spell, he saw golden light and lightning strike at the same time.
He had only used half of his poison technique, and without regard for anything else, he quickly released it.
puff!
A black snake was spat out of the evil cultivator's mouth and shot towards Lu Yang.
boom!
The lightning bolt struck the black snake, but was instantly neutralized by more than half of it.
The black snake was instantly reduced to mud by Lu Yang's sword. No, it wasn't mud, but specks of black light that didn't dissipate and continued to attack Lu Yang.
Lu Yang frowned slightly, and the Ming King in his sea of consciousness glared angrily, his body engulfed in karmic flames, as he pushed forward with a palm.
The power displayed by the late stage of body refinement was even greater than the power of the lightning that suddenly appeared from the ground just now.
The specks of black light met the karmic fire surrounding Lu Yang and instantly dissipated, leaving behind trails of black mist that also carried a foul stench.
Lu Yang frowned and waved his hand. A gentle breeze blew away the stench, finally easing his frown.
When facing evil techniques, the Immovable King Sutra is more effective than swordsmanship.
His gaze fell on the evil cultivator who had already fallen to the ground.
The evil cultivator was horrified, his face was ashen, and poisonous gas was emanating from his seven orifices.
"Late stage of Qi Refining! You! You!"
The evil cultivator stared wide-eyed, both shocked and furious, as Lu Yang effortlessly dealt with his poison technique.
Looking at him now, Lu Yang was no longer the minor cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
He's clearly in the late stage of Qi Refining! His aura is even stronger than his own. If Lu Yang had revealed his cultivation level earlier, why would he have risked chasing him? No wonder he couldn't catch up. This kid is pretending to be weak while actually being strong!
How insidious! How shameless!
A dignified late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, yet he's so pathetic. With such cultivation, even in a head-on battle, he might not be a match for him. He even has to wait for him to use his poison technique.
The poison technique was interrupted halfway through. Although it was still launched, it was launched too hastily, which greatly reduced its power and caused harm to both the attacker and the attacker, resulting in the attacker also being poisoned.
If it cannot be dissolved quickly, this poison might kill him.
She wanted to curse Lu Yang, but she also wanted to buy time to cure the poison in her body, so she could only glare at him angrily.
Lu Yang glanced at the evil cultivator's condition and immediately understood the general situation: the poison originated in his abdomen, accumulated in his chest, and manifested in his throat.
Now, this evil cultivation technique was brewing in his chest, but he suddenly interrupted it. The technique failed to complete, and although it was hastily released, his chest and throat were completely stained.
For a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining to be poisoned like this demonstrates the immense power of the poison. Lu Yang couldn't help but feel fortunate for his decisive action; otherwise, he might not have been able to withstand such a powerful poison attack.
Without another word, the sword flashed again.
