King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 492 - 176: Seventeenth Armor-Piercing Technique: The Heroic Sakura Association’s Fierce Offensive
Xie Wen, the "Flying Eagle Detective," performed the "Feixu Qingyan Technique," his movement light and elusive, akin to drifting willow catkins and curling smoke in the wind, skillfully constructing a rope ladder on that precipitous cliff.
This rope ladder, resembling a winding dragon, spans the cliff, guiding the disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association and the Miao Village as they climb up toward the clifftop.
Following closely, Qi Meizhen, Bai Zhi, Wu Zhong, Miao Menlong, and Fei Wenxing also climbed the rope ladder one by one, successfully reaching the top of the cliff.
After the disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association and Miao Village successfully occupied Hailong Duntun, they set up camp in this treacherous terrain.
On Hailong Duntun, flags fluttered in the wind, and tents were neatly distributed, resembling a well-ordered temporary fortress.
The disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association and the Miao Village conducted various defense and supply tasks busily and orderly, their steps hurried and expressions focused, the air filled with a tense yet expectant heavy atmosphere.
That night, Shi Feiyang lay in his large tent, holding Qi Meizhen on his left and Bai Zhi on his right, enjoying the bliss of having a woman on each arm.
However, beneath this seemingly calm and peaceful facade, a great crisis, like a hidden beast in the darkness, was silently brewing.
Shi Ying, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Demon Sect, harbored unspeakable evil intentions, stealthily entering the mysterious and enigmatic Yelang Ancient Tomb atop the Hailong Duntun cliff like a ghost.
This ancient tomb was hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests near Hailong Duntun, surrounded by towering ancient trees and a tangle of thorny bushes, as if sealed by the dust of ages. Legend has it that a millennia-old Corpse King is sealed here, the tomb filled with an unknown danger and a mysterious aura.
Upon entering the depths of the ancient tomb, Shi Ying saw the massive Corpse King Coffin standing silently, its surface carved with strange runes and ferocious beast patterns, silently warning intruders.
Staring at the Corpse King Coffin, Shi Ying’s eyes gleamed with greed and madness, like two burning ghostly flames.
Muttering strange words in a low and eerie voice, her hands swiftly formed seals, fingers agile as serpents. As an ancient and mysterious incantation was chanted, the millennia-old Corpse King Coffin slowly opened, emitting a creaking sound, like a roar from Hell.
Instantly, a pungent stench of decay assaulted their senses, the smell as if from countless rotting corpses piled up, making one nauseous.
Simultaneously, waves of eerie ghostly aura surged forth, as if countless wronged souls were wailing. This aura spread, making one’s hair stand on end, a chill climbing from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
By morning, Shi Feiyang, meditating in his tent, keenly sensed this unusual aura, understanding the urgency of the matter, not allowing any delay. He immediately instructed "Iron Palm" Wu Zhong to lead everyone to fully cooperate with Qi Meizhen in managing the camp, ensuring its safety and stability.
Subsequently, he, along with "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen, "Divine Archer" Miao Menlong, and "Plum Blossom Dart" Shan Zhi, swiftly headed towards the Yelang Ancient Tomb. Upon entering the tomb, they found the Corpse King Coffin already opened, with a strong corpse poison spreading rapidly, like a dark green mist, gradually engulfing every corner of the tomb.
Shi Feiyang understood the terror of corpse poison, knowing that if it spread, not only would everyone in Hailong Duntun be in mortal danger, but the entire Bozhou Land could face a catastrophic disaster.
With a serious demeanor and determined gaze, he quickly ordered Xie Wen, Miao Menlong, and Shan Zhi to guard the tomb entrance, prohibiting anyone from entering rashly lest they throw their lives away unnecessarily.
Then, Shi Feiyang immediately invoked the Crimson Flame True Qi as described in the Nine Yin Scripture. In an instant, his body radiated a layer of scorching red light, the True Qi surging like blazing flames, seemingly illuminating the dark tomb.
He infused the Crimson Flame True Qi into the corpse-suppressing Copper Coins, and with the True Qi’s empowerment, the Copper Coins shimmered with golden light, emitting a powerful force to suppress evil.
Shi Feiyang moved like lightning, swiftly traversing the tomb, precisely placing the Copper Coins in designated positions.
In an instant, the tomb was filled with shimmering light, the golden glow contrasting sharply with the pervasive dark green corpse poison, light and darkness in a fierce battle.
While Shi Feiyang was fully engaged in setting up the array, Shi Ying suddenly turned pale as a sheet, bloodless, her body trembling like a candle in the wind from her hidden spot.
It turned out that the Gu worms in her personal fragrance pouch began to backfire, the intense pain akin to a thousand arrows piercing the heart, making it nearly impossible for her to stand.
This fragrance pouch was the one Shi Ying had used to trick Shi Feiyang and the Miao Village Saintess during their time at the Miao Village, into which Shi Feiyang had secretly placed a male Gu, causing occasional harm to Shi Ying.
Moreover, Shi Feiyang’s wife, Bai Zhi, had been teaching him witchcraft every day. At this moment, Shi Ying clutched her abdomen tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, large beads of sweat continuously rolling down her forehead, groans of pain escaping her lips.
Seeing this, Shi Feiyang’s heart tightened. Despite Shi Ying being his enemy, her past misdeeds disgusted him, but at this moment where life and death hung in the balance, his chivalrous and compassionate side was instantly revealed. He knew that if he didn’t expel the poison for Shi Ying in time, she would surely die, and once she was dead, the chaotic situation would become even harder to control, bringing disaster to countless lives.
Thus, Shi Feiyang strode to Shi Ying’s side, observing her pained expression, his brows knitted, he took a deep breath and said in a low and resolute voice, "Bear with it, I’ll help you expel the poison!"
