King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 549 - 187: Killing the Donkey After the Grinding: Jinyi Guard Raids Heroic Sakura Association’s Temporary Headquarters
But the years of Jianghu experience allowed them to quickly calm down, all becoming more vigilant, their eyes full of wariness, carefully avoiding the hidden weapons that might shoot out from the corpses’ mouths at any time, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to face new attacks at any moment.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Yili’s gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, keenly detecting in the chaotic situation that the mysterious core of this "Nine Yin Corpse Evil Array" was actually on the Soul Summoning Banner flying high at the inn.
This Soul Summoning Banner looked ordinary but actually contained the Five Poison Sect’s evil magical power, controlling the movements of the entire corpse horde.
To break the array, without hesitation, she circulated the profound inner strength within her body, displaying exquisite Lightweight Technique.
Her figure was light, like a black lightning bolt, tearing through the night sky, swiftly rushing towards the inn.
Her silhouette flickered under the moonlight, bringing with it a strong gust of wind.
However, her actions were within the Five Poison Sect’s expectations. Just as she was about to approach the Soul Summoning Banner, a "Rotten Corpse Poison Claw" hidden in the darkness suddenly extended like a deadly scythe lurking in the shadows.
This Rotten Corpse Poison Claw was crafted by the Five Poison Sect using a corpse’s arm, and its claw tips were coated with potent poison, emitting a nauseating stench of decay.
The poison claw grasped at Yili’s back with incredible speed. Unable to dodge, she felt a burst of severe pain in her back as she was clawed by the Rotten Corpse Poison Claw.
A stream of black venom quickly spread throughout her body from the wound. She could clearly feel the venom rampaging within her, as if countless snakes were gnawing at her meridians.
But Yili, having returned from healing at Four Sisters Mountain and married Shi Feiyang, successfully obtained the supreme bloodline bestowed by the Sunflower Saintess on Shi Feiyang, not only elevating her immunity to poisons but also further deepening her inner power.
The Rotten Corpse Poison wanting Yili’s life was absolutely impossible.
Nevertheless, Yili’s wound from the Rotten Corpse Poison Claw was very painful.
At this moment, Yili endured the excruciating pain, relying on her tenacious will and profound inner strength, continuing to advance towards the Soul Summoning Banner.
Her face turned pale as paper, her body slightly trembling, and bead-like sweat rolled down her forehead, but her gaze remained determined, filled with an unyielding light, as no difficulty could deter her resolve to break the array.
Finally, she reached the Soul Summoning Banner, extending her trembling hand to destroy this array core determining the battle’s outcome.
Simultaneously, Bai Zhi, witnessing Yili’s injury from afar, was extremely anxious.
She knew well that the Rotten Corpse Poison Yili was afflicted with was fiercely toxic, once it acted, "certain death" was inevitable.
Thus, Bai Zhi, without hesitation and regardless of danger, sprinted over.
Her figure moved like lightning, tightly gripping a specially-made silver needle in her hand, her eyes showing concern and urgency. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
After reaching Yili’s side, she quickly located Yili’s "Lao Gong Acupoint" and without the slightest hesitation, decisively pierced it.
As the silver needle penetrated, black poisonous blood slowly flowed from Yili’s Lao Gong Acupoint, the air filled with a pungent and foul odor.
Yili felt moved in her heart. Initially reluctant to share a husband with many women, she felt Bai Zhi’s care and kindness, deciding to get along well with Bai Zhi in the future and take good care of their husband Shi Feiyang together.
Taking advantage of the opportunity as the poisonous blood was being released, Yili stimulated the powerful potential hidden within her and executed the "Celestial Demon Disintegration Swordsmanship."
In an instant, sword qi surged around her, and her once frail body seemed to transform into a ferocious beast, emitting a terrifying aura.
She swung her long sword, and the sword qi rushed towards the corpse horde like a torrential tide.
Every wave of sword qi brought with it a sharp and mournful whistling sound, and wherever it passed, the corpse horde fell one after another, some cut into two, others shattered into powder.
Under Yili’s powerful offensive, the "Nine Yin Corpse Evil Array" instantly collapsed, the corpse horde losing command and descending into chaos.
Lan Xiaodie, standing in the distance, witnessed this scene, her face turning pale as death.
She never imagined that Yili, even when "heavily injured," could rely on her tenacious will and powerful martial arts to break the array.
Though filled with unwillingness in her heart, with the defeat already set, she had no choice but to gritting her teeth, hastily withdraw with the Five Poison Sect followers.
Their figures disappeared into the night, leaving behind only chaos and destruction.
However, the disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association’s vanguard team did not have time to catch their breath before a new crisis, like a surging tsunami, came crashing down on them.
The Commander of the Imperial Guard, Kang Fusheng, Commander of Jinyi Guard, Xiang Yushan, and Deputy Commander of Jinyi Guard, Lv Yuan, these three top experts of the Capital, led a large group aggressively advancing towards Flying Tiger Pass.
The large contingent of Jinyi Guard was like a rushing tide, kicking up dust wherever they went, their shouts and battle cries shaking the heavens and the earth.
It turns out, someone secretly colluded with the imperial soldiers, reporting information and during Shi Feiyang’s fierce battle with the Five Poison Sect followers at the Corpse-Driving Inn, led the Jinyi Guard to launch a surprise attack on the Heroic Sakura Association’s base at Flying Tiger Pass, intending to annihilate the Heroic Sakura Association in one fell swoop.
Now, with the Bozhou rebellion gaining victory after victory, the imperial soldiers felt it was time to "kill the donkey after it has done its job."
At Flying Tiger Pass, the disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association, fearless and resolute, quickly rose to resist.
They tightly relied on the sturdy city walls, with wills as tenacious as steel, engaging in a heart-stopping fierce battle with the Jinyi Guard, who came at them like wolves and tigers.
Arrows, like dense raindrops, darted through the sky, piercing the air with sharp whistling sounds.
On the city walls, blades and swords flashed, the cold gleam cutting through the air, and every clash of weapons sparked dazzling sparks.
