Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 627

Ou Yangming glanced at Poisonous Saber Gentleman and shook his head slightly. 'This fella's quite slow to have only realized this now.'

The poisonous pill was a great item indeed as it had an unimaginable effect against the queer little insects. As long as the little insects were within the poisonous gas' range, they would unknowingly be killed by the poison right away. Poisonous Saber Gentleman only needed to do one thing—continuously activate his treasure saber's skill to release poisonous gas.

For other powerful Intermediate Skill Runes, each stimulation would consume enormous spiritual power and have an impact on the respective equipment. In particular, the equipment would be permanently damaged if its skill was repeatedly incited.

Nonetheless, poison-series runes were an exception.

This was because most of the damage would be borne by the poisonous pill. In other words, as long as the poisonous pill was toxic enough, one only needed to consume very little spiritual power to stimulate it.

However, as the poisonous gas was continuously released, the poisonous pill's toxicity was not endless. As such, it would eventually not be able to continue.

It was out of Ou Yangming's expectation that Poisonous Saber Gentleman could persist this long.

“Fat Antelope, break them up,” Ou Yangming ordered in a deep voice.

The fat antelope cheered and immediately charged into the swarm of insects in front without any hesitation.

Once again, there was chaos over there as the tide of insects dispersed to both sides. Fat Antelope's attack was similar to an ultimate treasure saber, which slashed the entire wave into two.

Fat Antelope stuffed its face with insects while it ran. It smiled brightly and was never this happy.

Big Yellow and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard looked resentfully at the excited fat antelope. They wanted to run among the sea of insects as it was, but they had chills when they looked at the densely-packed insects, which kept squirming around. As a result, they could not wait to flee, and they dared not get close to the insects at all.

Nevertheless, they envied Fat Antelope's achievement very much, so they could only curse internally.

'This fat antelope must be having epilepsy…'

Poisonous Saber Gentleman looked regretful as he kept his treasure saber. He knew he had damaged the saber's core because he overused it.

Although the treasure saber's structure was not ruined, the poisonous saber on it was almost considered worthless.

He looked into the distance and decided that he would seize this opportunity to gain more poisonous pills, then he would plead with Ou Yangming to replace the one on his saber.

Ou Yangming and the others still backed away. Even though Fat Antelope could drive the insects away, they could not remain still like fools and let the insects encircle them.

After 15 minutes, Ou Yangming's eyes lit up. He uttered softly, “Found it.”

“What?” Xia Zizhen asked in confusion.

Ou Yangming swayed and detached himself from the group, then he dashed straight toward the sea of insects.

Xia Zizhen's face changed, and he cried, “Brother Ou, you mustn't.

Poisonous Saber Gentleman gasped and stared dumbfoundedly at Ou Yangming's back view. He only had a question in his mind at the moment. 'Is that young fella having epilepsy too?

'No, he's not that weird spirit beast. Doesn't he know that he'll be courting death by charging into the sea of insects?'

Big Yellow was the only one that opened its mouth and barked to cheer for Ou Yangming.

It was blindly confident in Ou Yangming because it knew there was a reason he acted like that.

When Ou Yangming flashed out at the speed of light, he shook his hand and retrieved Ghost Mo's poisonous pill from his interspatial bag.

Poisonous Saber Gentleman must use an Equipment Skill if he wanted to release his poisonous pill's power. On the other hand, Ou Yangming could easily release poisonous gas with a flash of thought as if he was eating or drinking.

After confirming that an insect king was secretly commanding the little insects, Ou Yangming released his mental power to imprint the environment around him into his spiritual world, where he searched the insect king's track.

Ou Yangming finally verified the insect king's ident.i.ty after observing and comparing for a long time. Therefore, he retrieved the poisonous pill and darted toward the little insects without any hesitation.

It was worth noting that Ghost Mo's poisonous pill was far more toxic than the one possessed by Poisonous Saber Gentleman.

The poisonous gas burst out without warning and caused an incredibly fearsome effect.

Within about 30 meters from Ou Yangming, the insect tides stopped because the little insects instantly died and no longer gushed.

The poisonous pill used by Poisonous Saber Gentleman could also poison the little insects to death, but the effect was far from that of Ghost Mo's poisonous pill.

Ou Yangming moved gaster and charged straight in one direction.

Next, the insects in that direction swarmed crazily as they did all they could to stop Ou Yangming from advancing.

Even so, all beings in the world repelled one another.

There were endless insects, so much so that Spiritualists would get tingling sensations on their scalps and retreat, but the insects had natural enemies too. Whether it was Fat Antelope, which shuttled between them and ate its fill, or poison-series powers, they were the insects' banes.

Faced with absolute banes, the insects would be helpless despite being huge in numbers.

Before the swarming insects could get into a life-or-death defense line, Ou Yangming had broken through their seal.

“Woosh…”

A gigantic figure leaped up among the other insects and zoomed in the opposite direction.

It was the insect king. Seeing as its followers could not stop Ou Yangming from advancing, it gave up sticking to its position and did not hesitate to expose itself as it wanted to escape as fast as it could.

Having said that, Ou Yangming had locked on the insect king. When he saw that it wanted to get away, he grunted and pointed Ghost Mo's poisonous saber in front from a distance away.

The point carried an unparalleled power, where peculiar energy surged to activate the poisonous gas inside the poisonous pill. Following that, the gas caught up to the insect king in a split second and invaded its body.

This was another way to use a poison-series secret technique. Instead of letting poisonous gas spread in all directions, it concentrated the gas and released it at the same point. Due to the concentration, not only would the gas become more toxic, but it could also pursue a target from a long distance.

The black figure halted in mid-air, but it did not fall to the ground at once; it drifted down leisurely as if it was drunk.

Ou Yangming did not stop as it continued to chase the insect king. His heart tensed up a little because the king turned out to be much more formidable than the little insects.

The insect king did not die on the spot after being attacked by poisonous gas that was several times more concentrated, and it still tried to glide in the air. Ou Yangming even had a feeling that if he retreated at this moment, it might be able to survive.

That said, Ou Yangming would not give it that opportunity.

He flashed and finally caught up to the insect king, then he shook his hand to withdraw a military saber. Subsequently, a saber-light was seen as he slashed the insect ruthlessly.

The insect king was tough, but it was almost dead after being poisoned by the poisonous gas. As a result, it would not be able to stop the saber no matter what.

With that, Ou Yangming sliced the insect king into 2 and killed it completely.

The insect tides around suddenly stopped, then all of the insects retreated in all directions.

Without the insect king's supervision, the other insects would not sacrifice themselves for nothing as they were living creatures too.

Besides, one of their natural enemies was still around. After picking up Fat Antelope's aura, the insects should have fallen apart long ago.

Ou Yangming stopped, whereas Xia Zizhen and Poisonous Saber Gentleman slowly caught up to him.

Insects were all over the ground, but they were simply carca.s.ses. As for those that could still move about, they had escaped already.

Xia Zizhen looked around with lingering fear and asked, “Brother Ou, how did you locate the insect king?”

“By distinguis.h.i.+ng it, of course.” Ou Yangming grinned.

“How did you… Distinguish it?” This time, Xia Zizhen was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Ou Yangming answered after some thought, 'This insect king stood out so much, so it'll only be strange if I couldn't distinguish it.”

Xia Zizhen was speechless, and he had nothing else to say.

He and Poisonous Saber Gentleman looked at each other bitterly.

'Is this the potency of a caster?

'But we've never heard of anything similar from other casters.'

Ou Yangming flashed toward the insect king. He killed it in one go by slas.h.i.+ng it, but it was because it was poisoned. If they had gone against each other head-on, he might not have succeeded so easily.

The young fellow stared at the insect king's carca.s.s and noticed that it was much larger than ordinary insects. It only managed to hide completely due to the never-ending sea of insects, thus one could not have found it without probing through a unique method.

Hurried footsteps were heard coming from behind Ou Yangming, who knew it was Fat Antelope without needing to look back. The spirit beast widened its eyes at the dead insect king and drooled.

Ou Yangming frowned and noted, “Fat Antelope, this fella was poisoned to death. If you'd like to be poisoned too, go ahead and eat it.”

Earlier on, he noticed that while Fat Antelope went on a killing spree majestically, it never ate the poisoned insects.

In any case, there was plenty of fresh food available, hence it would be crazy to devour the poisoned insects.

Nonetheless, given that the other insects had escaped, it seemed like the insect king was the only one among the remaining toxic food that was worth trying.

After being warned by Ou Yangming, Fat Antelope blinked and looked troubled.

Ou Yangming chuckled as he looked at the hesitant fat antelope. “You've gained enough today, so the rest don't belong to you.”

Fat Antelope wagged its tail in a low spirit, but it dared not disobey Ou Yangming.

The young fellow looked at the insect king's carca.s.s again. He circulated his mental power for a while before he slashed it without warning. By the time he withdrew his saber, an earthly yellow inner core was seen at the tip of his saber.
