Caw!
The crows moved with incredible speed, and even more unsettling was that flocks of crows had appeared from other directions and were also rapidly making their way toward Wang Chong's group.
They were quickly being surrounded by crows.
”Brother Wenfu, let's join together to deal with these crows. No matter what, we can't let them land!” the Wushang Village Chief said.
He had little understanding of the martial arts world, but he could tell that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to them. It would be fine if they could see the opponent they were fighting, but it was much harder to defend against this bizarre method of attack, and they also had to protect Wang Chong and the Formation Elder.
Buzz!
The Wushang Village Chief brought the index and middle fingers of his right hand together while Stellar Energy surged out of his dantian. The Demonic Emperor Old Man also stopped and looked at the sky, a vicious light in his eyes. Fierce pulses of Stellar Energy rose from his body as he prepared to attack.
Birds would be tireless in their pursuit. Simply running away was no solution.
Creee!
The vast flock of crows blanketed the sky. Just as the group was about to attack, one of the crows suddenly opened its mouth and let a finger-sized black pill drop from its mouth, and then a second, a third… Tens of thousands of crows began to let loose a rain of pills.
The group was left flabbergasted by this sight.
”Careful!”
Cautiously, the Wushang Village Chief struck out.
”Five Dragons to the Heavens!”
Five beams of Stellar Energy erupted from his body, turned into dragons and soared into the sky.
A split-second later, the Demonic Emperor Old Man's eyes flashed with cold light as he attacked as well.
”Energy Swallows the World!”
Thudthudthud!
Vast waves of Stellar Energy collided against the thousands of pills, causing them to explode into black clouds of poisonous gas. With tens of thousands of pills exploding, the entire area was soon covered by thick black mist.
Bangbangbang! Elsewhere, some of the black pills managed to hit the ground and also detonated into poisonous gas, and the group was soon surrounded.
Caw!
The cawing of crows was incessant as one black pill after another dropped down from the sky and exploded near the group.
”Careful!”
Wang Chong paled and immediately flicked three antidote pills into the hands of his master, the Wushang Village Chief and the Formation Elder.
Although someone of his master's cultivation level was essentially immune to ordinary poisons, it was best to guard against any mishaps. Moreover, it was clear from the words of the Formation Elder that the Five Poisons Elder and the Black Poison King were no ordinary individuals. The poisons they refined were bound to be unusual.
Caw!
But at this moment, with a caw, one of the crows behind Wang Chong folded its wings and shot down from the sky like an arrow. Before it could land, Wang Chong had already flicked a bolt of Sword Qi through the air that shot through its open mouth and out its back.
The crow dropped from the sky before it could make it even halfway.
However, this was only the beginning. After dropping down the screen of poison gas, the tens of thousands of crows changed strategies and began to hurtle toward the four people on the ground from various directions.
”Chong-er, just sit back and rest! Don't recklessly use your energy! I'll deal with these crows!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man's voice resounded in his ear.
Bang!
A wave of Stellar Energy spread out from his body, creating a dome that covered the entire group. And with a casual flick of his finger, the Demonic Emperor Old Man created countless bolts of energy and fired them off at the crows in the sky.
Caw!
But unlike the bees, these crows seemed to sense something and instantly scattered.
A sharp light gleamed in the Demonic Emperor Old Man's eyes. Just from how these crows acted, he could tell that there was someone controlling them, allowing them to be just as nimble and intelligent as any martial artist.
”Hmph!”
