Chapter 269: 5 Poison King, Mie Chenzi Appears
Chapter 269: Five Poison Kings, Mie Chenzi Appears (First Update)
From that volcano-like mound of earth, what was spewing out was not only black smoke, but also many insects, including centipedes, snakes, scorpions, bees, and spiders, all five poisonous creatures.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
"Long Eyebrow! You trapped me for so long, you didn't expect that I could still come out!"
The hissing sound of the insects was accompanied by laughter, as if it were an evil spirit coming to take their lives.
Amidst the loud laughter, the black smoke from the poisonous insects in the sky quickly shrank and gathered together, and finally condensed into a human figure. Then there was a flash of light, and the figure from the pile of insects turned into a real person.
A strange man who was as thin as a skeleton and covered with poisonous sores all over his body.
This person was thin and old-looking, with a few scattered dry hairs on his head, which was far inferior to the Mulong Staff beside him. The strange man also wore a golden crown on his head, which was similar in shape and nature to the Mulong Staff, but the latter's golden crown was embedded with a flying dragon, while the former's golden crown was embedded with five poisonous insects.
This man was wearing a black robe with densely packed patterns of centipedes, snakes, scorpions, bees, and spiders. There were at least thousands of them. These poisonous insects seemed like living creatures, moving around, fighting, devouring, and hissing inside the robe. They looked extremely ferocious.
"Five Poisonous Heavenly Kings!"
While Mu Longzhang was watching the demon coming out, Ye Yuanjing quickly took back his "Five Mountains Brocade Cloud Handkerchief" and shouted out the name of the demon who had just come out.
The Five Poison Kings?
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan looked over and found out that he was the Five Poison King, the great demon who was sealed by Changmei himself. Before being sealed, he was also a figure as famous as the Green Robe Patriarch.
Cheng Xinzhan had specifically inquired about the known demons that were suppressed and imprisoned by Emei. The Five Poison Kings were one of them. He was also the second demon to break the seal after the monk Chuanxin broke the seal.
If we count the previous Lord of Beiyin Palace who was found and killed by his uncle and the demon dragon of Dinghu Mountain who was sealed by Zen Buddhism but has been unsealed, then this is the fourth unsealed demon of the Four Realms that Cheng Xinzhan knows of.
The original name of the Five Poisonous Heavenly King was Lie Baduo. He was from the Lie clan of the Yi ethnic group in Wenshan Prefecture, which is located in the border between Dianwen and Nanhuang. This tribe is good at raising the five poisonous insects. The name Baduo means Poison Mountain in the local area.
However, after he had achieved success in his cultivation, he felt that his original name was a bit vulgar. He always thought that the names of the Green Robe Patriarch Li Mizhen and the Red Haired Patriarch Lan Caixiao were elegant and pleasant, so he also changed his name to Lie Xingye.
This Five Poison King Lie Xingye was already the leader of the Five Poison Sect of Wuliang Mountain in Dianwen before he was sealed by Emei Town. He was only one step away from reaching the fifth realm and was feared by the southwest. He also gave guidance on the practice of Mu Longzhang and was a very famous figure.
If these people are unsealed, the situation in Yunnan will change dramatically.
"Congratulations, brother, for escaping from this predicament!"
Seeing Lie Xingye escape from trouble, Mu Longzhang was very happy. He even put aside the humiliation of Cheng Xinzhan's seal and flew to Lie Xingye's side.
"I still want to thank you for your hard work for me."
Lie Xingye is much shorter than Mu Longzhang, but his demeanor as a giant of the magic world is even greater than that of Mu Longzhang.
He looked around and saw that many leaders from Ailao Mountain and Wuliang Mountain had come, and there were quite a few golden elixirs in Wuliang Mountain, which surprised him a little. It seemed that Wuliang Mountain had indeed been taken care of by Ailao Mountain during the time when he was sealed, and it was worth his guidance to this poisonous dragon many years ago.
He was still thinking: That old man in green robe has become a big shot, and his heart has become much bigger. He didn't take advantage of my absence to annex and suck my blood, and didn't force the demons around the southern wilderness to change their allegiance. Most importantly, he planned for a long time and rescued me! I am not as good as him!
"Congratulations to the leader!"
The demons of Wuliang Mountain shouted in unison, as if their leader was not suppressed by the righteous path, but had just been in seclusion underground for a period of time.
The smiles on their faces were also from the heart. Although this leader had a bad reputation, was a bit violent, and had mood swings, he was still their leader after all. With such a stabilizing force, they didn't have to worry about the righteous coming up the mountain and destroying Wuliangshan one day.
"Congratulations to the Heavenly King for coming out!"
At the signal from Mu Longzhang, the demons in Ailao Mountain also shouted in unison, which was truly magnificent.
Lie Xingye smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with the scene of leaving the country.
He looked at the demons, and seemed to remember something. He slapped his head and shouted,
"Bugs! Bugs! Where are the bugs!"
What a strong magic power! This Five Poisons Demon's realm is too high. After being suppressed for so long, he has not fallen into a lower realm, and his momentum is still so strong. At this moment, he screamed strangely, and the devil's sound pierced the ears, as if he was like a worm trying to drill into the human brain.
The devil roared, and everyone saw a red light suddenly shot up into the sky in the dense forest of Yunnan in the southwest direction, and then turned into a red line, flying rapidly towards the direction where everyone was.
In just a blink of an eye, the red light came from far away and came in front of Lie Xingye. When the red light dissipated, everyone could see clearly that it was a red-headed centipede twenty or thirty feet long!
This monster is completely black except for the bright red scales on its head. The most surprising thing is that there are two golden dragon whiskers growing on the centipede's mouth. It is actually a species with dragon blood!
Judging from its appearance, it is hateful and ferocious. Judging from its aura, it is full of blood and murderous intent. It is a big monster with the cultivation level of the middle tribulation of the golden elixir!
However, this monster, who was powerful enough to occupy a mountain and become the king, had a chair made of pure gold placed on its red armor. There were four small holes dug on the armor, which were just right for the four legs of the chair to fit in. It seemed that the chair was rooted in the flesh and blood of this monster centipede.
The devil laughed loudly and flew to the chair.
"Good bug, all these years, I was worried that you would be stabbed to death by some swordsman who saw injustice!"
Then, Lie Xingye turned his head to look at the people of the righteous path, with a smile on his face.
"Brother, you understand me well. You know that I have been hungry all these years underground, so you have prepared some snacks for me when I come out. Well, both Buddhists and Taoists are here. The flesh of monks is tender, and the bones of Taoists are chewy. I still prefer Taoists." "Let's go!"
When the righteous people heard Lie Xingye calling for their mounts, their magic power was still so strong that they immediately gave up the idea of waiting for help and fighting again, and fled to the north.
"Hey, don't go!"
The Liexing wild monster let out a cry and stomped on the centipede's head. The centipede then turned into a red light and chased after it quickly. Seeing this, Mu Longzhang also smiled and joined in the pursuit, followed by a bunch of demon soldiers. The one-eyed demon Wan Gaoming, who had just pretended to be dead and fell down, also followed them in full energy.
Qionghai is only four or five hundred miles away from the place where the demon broke the seal. It is neither close nor far.
At this time, Zhou Qingyun used the Qingsuo Sword to perform the Jianxia Escape Technique. She was the fastest one and was also running in the front. When she was a little closer to Qionghai, she could remotely control the Jian Pavilion. She immediately cast a spell, and the Jian Pavilion emitted a magical light, propping up a bowl-shaped barrier.
She shouted loudly and used her magic power to bless it. Although she couldn't make a piercing magic sound like Lie Xingye, it was still no problem to send the sound to Qionghai.
"Everyone enter the magic circle!"
Her voice echoed across the Qionghai Sea.
There is no way to escape from the Four Realms, so one can only hope that this sword pavilion passed down by the master can block the magic power of the Four Realms.
At this time, in the Qionghai area, after Zhou Qingyun moved the Sword Pavilion here, many Xuan cultivators and casual cultivators also came here, because they could get rewards for killing demons. Therefore, many inns and markets were formed quickly and spontaneously, gathering a lot of people.
Some people saw that the situation was not good and ran away as soon as the black smoke erupted, but some people gathered around Jiange and watched, thinking that running away might be more dangerous, and there was always Emei to protect them by the Jiange.
At this moment, they saw the demonic energy from the south rising into the sky, sweeping over like a black tide, and they were already scared to death. Now, they saw the sword pavilion shining brightly and heard Zhou Qingyun's voice, so they hurriedly ran into the magic circle.
The people on the shore of Qionghai quickly entered the magic circle, but Zhou Qingyun and his group were still fleeing at full speed. However, the speed of the Fourth Realm Old Demon was so fast that he was about to catch up with them. The Mu Long Staff once again revealed his giant black dragon claws to catch people.
At this moment, a ray of white jade divine light was seen flying from the east, like the moon patrolling the sky, clear and bright, and it arrived in an instant and hit the black dragon's claws at once, immediately dispersing the black dragon's claws that Ye Yuanjing and Cheng Xinzhan could not do anything about even with their combined efforts.
"who!"
Lie Xingye and Mu Longzhang, who were chasing in front, immediately stopped and looked to the east.
I saw a white jade-like light coming from far away and stopping steadily in front of the two demons. When the jade light faded, the figure was revealed, but it was a middle-aged handsome man in a wide-sleeved white robe, his body was spotless, his skin was white as snow, and his face was as beautiful as jade.
"Mie Chenzi!"
"Great Elder!"
Everyone shouted.
Miechenzi was called out by the devil, while the Great Elder was called out by a group of Emei people.
The white jade divine light that had just killed the black dragon's giant claw also retracted its light and turned into a two-foot-long jade flying sword, stopping beside Mie Chenzi.
The two demons were a little afraid when they saw this. This Miechenzi was no ordinary person. He was Changmei's second disciple, Xuan Zhenzi's junior brother, Qi Shuming's senior brother. He had been famous for many years and was only one step away from a chance to achieve the fifth level of enlightenment.
This person was also the one with the strongest murderous intention among Changmei's disciples. Xuan Zhenzi and Qi Shuming practiced too fast and entered the realm of true immortals very early. After that, they seldom took action. They mostly stayed in seclusion in the mountains, practiced swords, and taught. When they took action occasionally, they would suppress but not kill.
Only this Mie Chenzi has a great murderous intention. Once he takes action, there are few survivors left. His flying sword "Broken Jade Hook" is also a rare sharp weapon in the world. It can quickly cut gold and jade. I don't know how many demons he has killed in the past.
At this time, Mie Chenzi protected the righteous people behind him and glanced at the demons.
"Seeing that I am here, why don't you retreat quickly? Do you want to die by my sword?"
These words were extremely arrogant, but after all, they were just like the shadow of a tree. The two demons looked at each other and felt timid in their hearts, especially Lie Xingye who had just broken the seal and his magic power was not at its peak, and Mu Longzhang who had only been promoted to the fourth realm not long ago, was not as good as Mie Chenzi, a veteran in the fourth realm.
But if he left in disgrace, it would be too embarrassing. Lie Xingye sat on the chair and said sarcastically,
"Your sword, Mie Chenzi, is indeed powerful. I, the old demon, am convinced, but you should not be too arrogant. You have been powerful for so many years and have killed so many people in my demon sect. Aren't you just an elder in Emei now? Hehe, how about you come to my Southern Sect and my two brothers recommend you as the deputy leader?"
Mu Longzhang immediately followed and said with a smile,
"Brother, what you said makes sense. Sword Immortal might as well consider it."
Mie Chenzi's face changed, and the "Broken Jade Hook" at his side immediately became blazing with sword energy, transforming into a ball of white jade sword light that stabbed straight towards Lie Xingye.
"That's right, Sword Immortal might as well think about it carefully, hahahaha——"
Upon seeing this, Lie Xingye waved his sleeves, releasing a large cloud of black poisonous smoke to cover himself, then turned around and fled south with the group of demons, leaving only mocking laughter echoing on the southern shore of Qionghai Lake.
