Vice Hall Master Ming Zhen was a Seven Star primary stage poison master, and his cultivation had reached Saint 2-dan primary stage. Exerting his full strength, his might descended from the heavens, reducing the surrounding walls to dust.
Upon seeing Vice Hall Master Ming Zhen making a move, the other two vice hall masters also charged forward.
Similar to Ming Zhen, they were Saint 2-dan primary stage as well, and their fighting prowess was astounding.
With the coordination of the three experts, their might was as powerful as a rising tide, shrouding the entire area.
"What is going on?"
The collapse of the walls caused the shockwaves from the battle to disperse into the surroundings. Li Yuan and the others immediately turned their gazes over, and with a single glance, their bodies convulsed in shock.
Vice Hall Master Ming Zhen was only there to deal with Poison Master Sun, so why did they end up fighting instead?
More importantly... for three vice hall masters and all of the elders to attack a Nascent Saint at the same time, wasn't this a little too shameless?
"It seems like... Elder Huang is dead..."
A trembling voice sounded.
Only then did Li Yuan and the others realize that an elder was lying on the ground with his head retracted into his neck. It seemed as if someone had smashed his head in with a palm!
Death in a single strike!
"Most likely, they are here to deal with Poison Master Sun, and the latter made a move in a fit of rage..." Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he continued looking forward.
Under the encirclement of more than twenty experts, Poison Master Sun felt an immense pressure bearing down on him. With a powerful punch, he knocked back two elders before flicking his wrist.
A spear appeared in his right hand, and a sword appeared in his left.
Hu la!
With a light thrust, as though a bolt of lightning streaking across the night sky, the spear pierced through the throat of one of the elders. Under the overwhelming might of the spear, the elder's body was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground not too far away.
At the same time as the spear thrust forward, the sword in his left hand also slashed down lightly, and a sword qi infused with the will of the heavens descended upon the elder.
The other elder on the left didn't expect the other party to be able to wield two weapons simultaneously, and each of them was so powerful... Before he could even process what was going on, he felt a cold sensation on his neck, and his head rolled off his neck. Fresh blood splattered all over the place.
"Murder..."
Li Yuan and the others felt a chill run down their spine, and their bodies stiffened.
Every single one of these elders was a lofty existence. Even if they were to treat them respectfully, they might not necessarily even receive a glance from the other party … Yet, at this very moment, their corpses had fallen to the ground, and blood was spurting from their mouths …
The strong impact made their throats tighten, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"It seems like... Poison Master Sun's eyes have been closed all this while..."
Someone shouted.
It was only then that Li Yuan and the rest realized that this Sun Qiang they had brought along had his eyes closed from the start of the battle. Whoever attacked him, he would retaliate.
With every strike of the spear, an elder's throat would be pierced. With every strike of the sword, an elder would die …
It could be said that this guy was like the King of Hell, and many of the elders were unable to stop him.
"This won't do. If this goes on, all the elders will be killed by this fellow …"
Seeing that the number of elders in the Poison Temple was dwindling, and another ten had died, Vice Temple Master Ming could no longer hold himself back and shouted.
At this rate, in less than ten breaths, all of the elders in the Poison Temple would be dead!
For a Nascent Saint to be able to fight against more than twenty Saint realm experts, not only was he not at a disadvantage, he even killed a dozen of them in a single breath … What kind of monster was he?
"All elders, listen to my orders... Hurry up and retreat. Let me and Vice Temple Master Ming deal with that fellow …"
Realizing this as well, the other vice hall masters also hurriedly instructed.
There were too many of them earlier, and most of them were their companions. Even though they possessed the strength of a Saint 2-dan expert, they were still unable to exert their full strength. The urgent matter at hand was for the others to retreat so that the three of them could work together to kill the fellow before them!
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the command, the remaining elders heaved a sigh of relief. They hurriedly leaped out of the battle with deep fear in their eyes.
To be honest, the fellow before them was simply too bizarre. Putting aside the fact that the poison that they specialized in was completely ineffective against him, his physical body and zhenqi were even stronger than before!
It was as if he was a saint beast in human form.
More importantly, despite having so many of them working together, not only were they unable to harm him in the slightest, more than a dozen of them were even killed … From the start to the end, the other party didn't even open his eyes!
If he was already so powerful even without using his eyes, how fearsome would he be once he opened his eyes?
If only they had known this would happen, they would have never gotten involved in this matter … It was Vice Hall Master Ming's student who was causing trouble, it had nothing to do with them at all … They were really just here to watch the show …
As soon as the crowd left, the three vice hall masters immediately rushed forward and drove their zhenqi to their limits to attack 'Sun Qiang' at the center.
Hualala!
With three Saint 2-dan experts making a move simultaneously, their combined might felt as if a massive cage had formed around them, locking down the surrounding space.
Trapped in the center, Zhang Xuan did not retreat. Instead, his fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger. With a loud roar, he thrust his spear forward.
Ding ding ding ding!
The tip of the spear struck the walls of the cage consecutively, and in the blink of an eye, cracks began appearing on the incomparably stable walls. Following which, a sharp glint of sword qi shot out from the cracks.
Huala!
In the blink of an eye, the cage was sliced into two.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Vice Hall Master Ming and the others spurted a mouthful of blood simultaneously, and fear surfaced in their eyes.
For a Nascent Saint cultivator to be able to break the cage set up by three Saint 2-dan experts so easily … More importantly, the other party's zhenqi seemed to be boundless!
Despite executing it so many times, he was still brimming with energy, as if he hadn't exhausted himself in the slightest!
How in the world did he do it?
"Trinity of Heaven and Earth Formation!"
Bellowing, Vice Hall Master Ming's silhouette blurred, and he swiftly took up a position.
Hearing his words, the other two vice hall masters nodded in agreement and took up two other positions.
Trinity of Heaven and Earth Formation!
This formation increased the strength of the three of them by several folds. As long as they worked together well, they would be able to slay even a Saint 2-dan pinnacle expert.
Hu!
As soon as the three of them took up their positions, the zhenqi gushing out from their bodies began to link together, forming a metal ring.
Seemingly sensing danger, Zhang Xuan took a step back and kept his spear back into his storage ring. However, his eyes remained closed.
"Attack!"
Tzzzzzzz!
With the formation in place, the aura of the three vice hall masters surged. They made their moves simultaneously, and numerous surges of sword qi pierced toward Zhang Xuan.
However, before the sword qi could strike 'Sun Qiang', the latter abruptly retracted his body and kicked three times in midair.
There was no rhyme or reason behind these three kicks, but every single one of them struck right in the midst of their advancement, disrupting the rhythm of their offense.
"He … broke the Trinity of Heaven and Earth Formation?"
Upon seeing this sight, the remaining elders narrowed their eyes.
While the other party's three kicks seemed to be completely illogical, they actually disrupted the rhythm of the formation and nullified the Trinity of Heaven and Earth Formation in an instant!
To be able to break such a formidable formation with just his kicks, could it be that this fellow had a deep understanding of formations as well?
It was one thing for him to be powerful, but to have such a deep understanding of formations as well … How were they supposed to fight against him?
Puhe!
While they were still in shock, 'Sun Qiang', who was surrounded by the three vice hall masters, swept his sword and severed Vice Hall Master Ming's arm and shoulder, causing blood to spurt out frenziedly.
"AHHH!"
With a cry of agony, Vice Hall Master Ming retreated hurriedly. His face paled, and his fighting prowess was completely drained.
He couldn't understand why the formation set up by three Saint 2-dan experts was unable to stop a Nascent Saint cultivator.
Now that the formation had been broken, there was nothing for the three of them to fear anymore. Zhang Xuan charged forward once more, and with a flick of his sword, he forced the remaining two vice hall masters into retreat, rendering them powerless to retaliate.
"Wait a moment … Did you notice that Sun Qiang will attack whoever attacks him? As long as you stop attacking him, he won't continue pestering you …"
One of the elders suddenly exclaimed.
"Now that you mention it … That does make sense!"
The other elder nodded.
Hearing those words, they suddenly recalled something. While Sun Qiang's fighting prowess was fearsome, he didn't attack recklessly. Instead … he would attack whoever attacked him!
It was as if he was retaliating on his own accord.
"Vice Hall Master Qian and Vice Hall Master Sun, if you don't attack him, he might not retaliate …"
Realizing this, Vice Hall Master Qian and Vice Hall Master Sun hurriedly shouted.
"Don't attack him?"
Hearing those words, the remaining two vice hall masters recalled the previous battle, and their eyebrows shot up as they leaped backward.
Hula!
As soon as they retreated, the other party's sword qi flashed right before their necks.
Hu!
That fellow sat down cross-legged on the ground once more, ignoring them.
"This …"
Seeing that the other party had stopped attacking them, the duo heaved a sigh of relief. Sweat trickled down their foreheads.
If not for the elder finding the trick to the battle, they might have been killed as well.
A Nascent Saint cultivator actually killed more than a dozen Saint 1-dan pinnacle experts in a single breath, leaving three Saint 2-dan experts breathless …
Where in the world did Elder Xu find such a monster?
"He … seems to be in some kind of cultivation state. It's not an attack but an instinctive reaction to danger …"
With the battle coming to a halt, the minds of the crowd began to think.
"This …"
Hearing his explanation, the crowd was stunned for a moment before recovering from their shock.
He was right. This' Sun Qiang 'had been sitting motionlessly on the ground all this while, and it was only when they attacked him that he was forced to retaliate …
Furthermore, he would retaliate against those who attacked him. Those who tried to kill him were all killed, and it was due to them going easy on him that they managed to survive the ordeal …
"Even an unconscious counterattack is so formidable … How powerful would he be if he were to regain his consciousness?"
An elder asked as he cowered in fear.
The crowd fell silent.
An unconscious counterattack was only an instinctive reaction to a battle. Under such circumstances … there was a limit to one's fighting prowess.
Even so, he was still able to overwhelm all of the elders and vice hall masters of the Poison Temple … If this Sun Qiang were to awaken from his cultivation state, wouldn't he be even more fearsome?
Who in the Poison Temple could possibly stand against him?
"Hurry up and invite Elder Xu over …"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, a vice hall master ordered loudly.
"Elder Xu seems to have gone to meet the hall master …" Someone replied.
"Then invite the hall master over as well …"
The vice hall master gritted his teeth as he turned to look at the corpses of the elders on the ground.
What in the world was this?
When had their Poison Temple ever suffered such humiliation?
