Valley Master Zhan had indeed misjudged a little.
However, it didn’t matter whether he had misjudged Ling Xiao or not. This kid was just a trifling Half Great Master. Perhaps, he had a treasure or an item or he used some pills, therefore, he was not infected by the plague.
“You are flattering me, I, however, am just an ordinary outer disciple of the Moonlight Sect. As for the reason I’m not infected by the toxic plague, I took the pill given to me by Medicine Hall Master Yang Danlin.”
Ling Xiao intentionally said, following the opponent’s thinking.
In fact, this was a lie.
The reason why he was not infected by the plague was naturally the marvelous work of <Nine Demon Gods Art-Plague Demon King>.
“Is what he said true?”
Wan Yanjun looked at Valley Master Zhan and asked.
Upon seeing the sudden resurrection of Ling Xiao, not only did he not look disappointed, but he was also a bit happy.
He knew that Ling Xiao had a very good relationship with Yang Danlin. Therefore, Ling Xiao must have some special pills that could cure their plague poison.
Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei also looked happy.
They had never imagined that they would actually be this happy to find Ling Xiao alive.
“That’s right, the Valley Master of this valley was truly a stubborn person. We wanted to cooperate with him, but he stubbornly refused. So, our lord swallowed his soul and gave me his body to use.”
Valley Master Zhan indifferently added: “However, it’s meaningless even if you all know this because it still can’t change the ending of your death.”
“Humph, with four of us joining hands, it will be no problem to kill you two!”
Wan Yanjun suddenly coldly, the sword in his hand trembled and flew towards Valley Master Zhan again.
“Ling Xiao, antidote!”
While attacking, he called out to Ling Xiao.
And Ling Xiao didn’t hesitate. He flicked his finger and three pills flew into the mouth of Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei.
Shangguan Lei was so seriously injured because that palm of Valley Master Zhan was coated with plague poison.
He would be fine as long as the poison was removed.
However, the three of them didn’t know that the pills Ling Xiao gave them were not some spiritual pills. They were just three ordinary True Essence Pills.
Merely, the aura of <Plague Demon King> was mixed into those three True Essence Pills.
As a result, those three True Essence Pills could absorb and restrain the plague poison with their bodies.
Naturally, if Ling Xiao wanted it, then he could release the plague poison instantly, poisoning these three people to death on the spot.
Ling Xiao had done this because he had a plan.
The word ‘Lord’ mentioned by this Valley Master Zhan was enough to prove that there was another person who controlled the Plague Valley.
He still had to save his strength in case of emergencies.
It was more appropriate to leave this battle to Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei.
“Demon, now, we are not trapped by the plague, let’s see how you can escape!”
Wan Yanjun felt that his body had returned to normal, and the sword in his hand also shone with pallid light. He was very excited and while chasing Valley Master Zhan, he shouted: “Chen Zui, Shangguan Lei, deal with that fierce beast. Ling Xiao, as for you, protect yourself, don’t die.”
He didn’t say this to Ling Xiao out of kindness, rather he felt that Ling Xiao would still be of great use.
“Okay!”
At this moment, because the plague poison in their bodies were dealt with, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei were also refreshed, and they quickly put down their previous conflict for the time being.
They then attacked the Plague Fierce Beast together, and finally gained the upper hands, leaving some wounds on the Plague Fierce Beast.
In the battle between Wan Yanjun and Valley Master Zhan, Wan Yanjun also gradually gained an advantage.
The strength of this person truly shouldn’t be underestimated. Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm, if not for the plague poison, he wouldn’t have fallen into such an awkward position before.
Normally, at this moment, Valley Master Zhan should be anxious.
However, Ling Xiao noticed that this fellow actually had a strange smile on his face.
He didn’t think that this fellow was bluffing. There must be something he hadn’t considered yet!
Ling Xiao carefully looked at the situation. At this moment, he didn’t need to intervene in the battle. Therefore, he could safely investigate the situation of the underground monster den.
Although Valley Master Zhan was fighting against Wan Yanjun, Valley Master Zhan glanced at Ling Xiao from time to time.
Valley Master Zhan was surprised in his heart.
When Ling Xiao had flicked the pills, Valley Master Zhan had thought about intercepting, but in the end, he couldn’t do it.
It was not that he intentionally gave up, rather he was already too late to do it.
The other party was too fast.
He was truly shocked. How could a mere Half Great Master, a person who hadn’t even reached Transcendent Realm, have such terrifying strength?
Speed, strength and accuracy, the other party was actually not lacking in any of them!
“Where are you looking, Demon?”
Wan Yanjun seized the chance and his sword pierced through the shoulder of the Valley Master Zhan.
A look of excitement appeared on his face.
However, in the next moment, his excitement changed to surprise.
The sword in his hand, however, was a rare-graded treasured artifact, but it actually couldn’t even pierce through the opponent’s skin.
This feeling was similar to stabbing a piece of extremely hard steel.
No, precisely speaking, harder than steel!
After all, a rare-grade treasured sword could easily pierce through the steel.
“Heh heh heh heh, human, do you truly think that I’m afraid of you?”
Valley Master Zhan sneered strangely again. Then, his emaciated hand suddenly reached out and directly grabbed Wan Yanjun’s sword.
Crack!
At that instant, several cracks appeared on the sword.
This, however, was a rare-grade treasured artifact!
Not an ordinary sword, but the opponent actually shattered it with bare hands!
Wan Yanjun hastily retreated, and looking at the pieces of his sword falling to the ground, a fear filled his heart and his mind became chaotic.
This fellow was like this. Once the opponent was stronger than him or the opponent used a move that he couldn’t understand, his mind would become chaotic, unable to calm down completely.
On the other side, Shangguan Lei and Chen Zui also fell into a hard fight.
Although they had suppressed the Plague Fierce Beast for a period of time, strangely, along with the passage of time, this advantage not only didn’t convert into victory, but also gradually turned into a disadvantage.
Something was wrong here!
At this moment, even these people, who were slow in reacting, also noticed that something was wrong.
Hummm~~
A loud sound came from underground and blood-red rays pierced through the ground and shot up.
Then, these blood-red rays actually formed a twisted and strange skull pattern, emitting a weird terrifying aura.
“This is ‘Plague Turn Bone Formation’!”
A name instantly flashed in the mind of Ling Xiao.
He couldn’t be wrong. There was a record of this evil formation in the book given to him by Venerable Yuan.
Allegedly, this formation was created by a Plague Demon King that ran wild several tens of thousands of years ago.
The Plague Demon King was one of the nine generals of True Demon Great Emperor. His strength was very terrifying. In the current Heavenly Dragon Continent, absolutely no one was his opponent.
This formation could not only release a terrifying plague to draw the enemies’ true essence and blood, but it also continued to corrode the enemies’ bodies until the enemies turned into dry bones.
Everyone thought that the plague had reduced the strength of the trio of Wan Yanjun and others.
But now, it seemed that the plague was just one of the effects of this ‘Plague Turn Bone Formation’.
“Hahahaha, none of you can leave today. You all will die here, becoming my lord’s nourishment!”
