Chapter 1167 - 307: Blood Shadows and Shaken Bells Bewitch the Ancient Path, Golden Light Pierces the Mist Revealing the Heroic Spirit (Part 3)

Yin Jiuniang’s vermilion lips parted slightly, and a laughter like silver bells emanated from her, chilling everyone to the core. She glided lightly forward, her scarlet gauze dress sweeping by, and poisonous moss instantly turned to black water: "You all have tongues that are even more agile than my Poisoned Silver Needle."

She suddenly halted, lifting Zhong Renwang’s chin with her fingertips, gazing coldly at his terrifying noseless old face, and said chillingly: "But merely speaking without practicing, that won’t win my favor."

Zhong Renwang’s frightening old face flushed red, turned white, then green, and finally purple, feeling very embarrassed.

Blood Venerable had been standing in the corner with a gloomy face, and at this moment, he suddenly took half a step forward: "If the Sect Leader trusts me, I am willing to lead the Death Warriors to attack inside the pass at night. Even though Shi Feiyang possesses great martial arts, he cannot withstand an Ambush from All Sides!"

His voice seemed to come from Nine Nether Hell, carrying a teeth-clenching screech.

Yin Jiuniang giggled, her nails scraping Blood Venerable’s cheek, leaving five greenish-white marks: "Blood Venerable is indeed sensible."

She glanced around the crowd, her eyes flashing with disdain, "Remember, when flattering in front of me, make sure it’s on point."

She looked at the tightly closed city gate, her golden hairpin swaying gently with the motion, "Shi Feiyang, can you escape the first day of the lunar month, can you escape the fifteenth?" The poisonous mist grew thicker, enveloping everyone’s figures within. The sycophantic flattery and the intermittent buzzing of insects intertwined within the poisonous mist, coagulating into a nauseating miasma in front of the pass.

Yin Jiuniang leaned against the white bone railing, gazing at the "Battle Exemption" plaque swaying on the city wall, her lips curling into a sinister smile - this cat and mouse game had just begun. Shortly afterward, she suddenly burst into laughter, sharp as a night owl’s cry, startling the crows perched on the white bone steps to take flight in a flurry, their black wings shrouding half the setting sun. "Good old Shi Feiyang, putting on airs!"

Her vermilion lips curled slightly, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes gathered with amusement, like cobwebs entwining her face, "Since you want to assert dominance before the youngsters, I’ll grant your wish!" Before her words fell, Yin Jiuniang suddenly tore open her scarlet gauze dress, revealing skin covered with green-black patterns - marks from cultivating the "Ten Thousand Poisons Golden Body," a symbiosis with poison. She flicked towards the pouch at her waist, and twelve palm-sized poisonous toads leapt out, their dorsal glands glowing with an eerie blue.

"Go, cause him chaos beyond imagination!" Yin Jiuniang’s voice was sickly sweet, the poisonous toads darted away like arrows, using the poisonous mist as cover, leaping into the pass.

Simultaneously, she formed seals with her hands, chanting incantations. From the depths of the miasma-infested forest, muffled sounds echoed, countless corpses emerged from the ground, their skin stirred by dense clusters of parasites, propelling their rigid bodies towards Feima Pass.

"Shi Feiyang, let me show you what ’Beyond the Mountain’ truly means!" Yin Jiuniang’s laughter mingled with the foul wind, drifted into the ears of those within the pass. Inside the pass, Shi Feiyang was helping Wu Zhong, the "Iron Palm," expel poison when he suddenly felt a chill approaching.

His pupils contracted sharply, he quickly pushed Wu Zhong aside, a ghostly blue poisonous figure brushed past Wu Zhong’s ear and embedded in the stone pillar behind him, instantly corroding a hole deep enough to reveal its inner bone.

"Be careful!" Shi Feiyang shouted loudly, both palms executing the "Gold Dragon Claw" from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, golden palm winds expanded like ripples, pulverizing three approaching poisonous toads into meat paste, their green poisonous blood splattered onto the ground, emitting wisps of white smoke.

The Wudang Seven immediately stepped into Beidou positions, unsheathing their long swords. Master Yuxu pointed his sword towards the sky, declaring loudly: "Fellow Taoists, form the ’Liangyi Sword Array’!" Seven long swords glinted coldly, sword qi weaving through the air, slicing the encroaching corpses into several pieces.

Nonetheless, these corpses did not feel pain; even with only half a body left, they still dragged their intestines, crawling towards the crowd, spewing blackish-purple fumes from their mouths, and where they touched, the green bricks showed eerie black spots.

"Long Arm Fist" Liao Pei swung both arms, his fists roaring like a tiger’s, demolishing several poisonous toads. However, splattered poisonous blood on his arms instantly burned several holes. He clenched his teeth to endure the intense pain, shouting: "Grand Squad Leader, this witch’s tricks are very insidious!"

In the midst of the sandstorm, Shi Feiyang’s body surged with ice-blue True Qi, as if standing within a moving glacier.

The Bright Jade Technique’s "Supreme Forgetting Emotions Ice Soul Cold Prison" operated at its peak, even his breath turned into white mist.

He looked at the tides of corpses and poisonous insects outside the pass, aware that Yin Jiuniang had set a deathtrap using human lives as bait.

"Everyone, get back!" Shi Feiyang’s voice resonated like a bell, both palms striking repeatedly, deploying the "Red Dust Slash" and "Heaven’s Edge" from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique in succession.

Nine billowing golden saber qi crisscrossed, where it passed, corpses exploded, and poisonous toads were shredded into a stinking poisonous mist.

Splintered corpse fragments and poisonous insects crashed against the city wall, bizarrely corroding countless holes into the green bricks.

Yin Jiuniang stood within the depths of the poisonous miasma, her scarlet gauze dress moving without wind, the golden hairpin emitting a teeth-clenching screech.

She watched the retreating poison formation, suddenly grabbing a nearby red-clothed maid.

"Wish to live?" Her vermilion lips parted slightly, her fingertip injecting poisonous blood into the maiden’s body, "Then go, tear them apart!"

The maiden’s anguished scream pierced the sky, her skin visibly festering and peeling away, revealing green-black blood vessels beneath.

Her eyes rolled back, her throat issuing inhuman growls, transforming into a living corpse rushing towards the pass.

Mandarin Duck Saber Xiao Lingling wielded his saber to intercept, and as the Mandarin Duck Saber touched the living corpse, the blade emitted a "sizzle," instantly covered with cobweb-like cracks.

In a critical moment, Shi Feiyang appeared like a specter. His body surged with ice-blue True Qi, executing the killing move "Eternal Life of Heaven and Earth" from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique. His palm shadows transformed into a golden vortex, enveloping the chilling aura of Ice Soul Cold Prison as they blasted forth.
