Chapter 306 - Deadly Miasma (2/2)

Xie Tianshang pointed the sword at the sky.

The sword energy burst with incredible might and sharpness.

Yan Bangui squinted and leaned out of the way. The sword energy grazed his shoulder, peeling his flesh and making him clench his teeth from pain.

The sword energy shot for the skies, where it exploded and rattled the 36 pylons. The men inside even had to spit blood.

It dawned on everyone how mighty Xie Tianshang’s sword truly was, of the danger he represented.

Yan Bangui couldn’t afford to dodge again, forced to face Xie Tianshang head on. A green miasma drifted from his hand as he made a palm attack for Xie Tianshang’s face.

Xie Tianshang turned serious and dodged in a rush.

The miasma struck the earth with a bang, catching others in its path unprepared. It bored into them, eliciting a wail of agony, all while blood flowed like rivers from their twisted visage.

In mere seconds, all that remained were foul and reeking puddles of blood, good only to make one’s stomach turn.

Xue Ningxiang hunkered behind Xie Tianyang as horror set in. The rest weren’t faring any better, shocked at Yan Bangui’s capacity for cruelty.

Xie Tianshang squinted, his face stony, but not a trace of fear.

Xie Tianshang’s sword danced in his hand as he unleashed the nine forms. Yan Bangui dodged in panic, not for a second was he going to take the brunt of such deadly force. They hammered the array and the 36 men in the light pylons heaved blood for a total of nine times. Even the bloody sky dulled.

The array was about to break!

Yan Bangui was soaked in sweat, his heart a mess. If this kept up, he wouldn’t even win, least of all kill the enemy.

They had worked painstakingly in removing Zhuo Fan from the mix, only to meet another freak, Xie Tianshang.

It was common knowledge that the Six Dragons and One Phoenix, Huangpu Qingtian excluded, were on the same level, more or less. But this guy…

Yan Bangui’s face sank, [If this operation fails, the plan to end Zhuo Fan will fall through.] Huangpu Qingtian wasn’t going to take his failure lightly, that was for sure.

Yan Bangui gnashed his teeth and released a seven colored miasma, the signature move of Pill King Hall, Rainbow Cloud Palm!

The miasma spread, swallowing enemy and friends alike, leaving behind naught but a bloody cesspool of festering pus.

In the hands of Yan Bangui, with his poisonous body, the Rainbow Cloud Palm was even more devastating!

It was not without its demerits either. As the poison grew in strength, so too did his agony. Rainbow Cloud Palm was a double-edged sword, each time it was used it gnawed at the user’s body. And because it was him using it, the poison traveled through him far faster than any of his clansmen.

Yan Bangui’s face visibly darkened, with thick green blood dripping from his mouth. The wound on his shoulder festered as well, looking to turn him into a blood puddle.

But he bore it, his hands still releasing that devastating miasma.

He had to complete Huangpu Qingtian’s mission, or he’d be dead either way…

Xie Tianshang stared at the source of the miasma. He flicked his sword a few times, but the thick miasma swallowed them all like nothing.

Xie Tianshang jumped back in the face of the spreading disease, next to Long Xingyun.

They watched as hundreds of their enemies died a gruesome death, tormented amidst the drifting pestilence.

“How vicious. Not even his allies are spared!” Xie Tianyang gnashed his teeth.

Long Xingyun’s face grew hard, “We have no antidote for Pill King Hall’s Rainbow Cloud Palm. He is invincible. Numbers are useless when facing him! Once Rainbow Cloud Palm is in play, his dominance is assured. More so now, in this array. It’s just a matter of time before his poison kills us all.”

“Isn’t there anything we can do?” Xie Tianshang trembled.

Long Xingyun’s eyes glinted, “Of course there is. Break the array and the poison will scatter.”

“Easy for you to say! I struck it ten times but it is still holding strong. I need more time, time we do not have…” Xie Tianshang sighed at the dull bloody sky.

The others gnashed their teeth as well, drawing back just as the miasma crept nearer.
