Chapter 539: Control Poison
Knowing that his younger brother had already died at the hands of Yang Haoran, the Exorcist Elder didn't hesitate. He immediately manipulated his mystical artifact and launched an attack on Yang Haoran.
This old man's mystical artifact was a uniquely shaped Copper Mirror. Resembling a human face, the Copper Mirror had a spike at the end. From its design, it seemed capable of both ranged and close combat.
In his fury, the Old Man chose ranged combat. Under his control, the Copper Mirror rose into the air and emitted a golden light towards Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran made no movement. With a thought, Waning Moon blocked in front of him, deflecting the golden light emitted by the rapidly rotating Waning Moon.
Failing to hit his target, the old man didn't give up. With a roar, he madly activated the Copper Mirror, continuously emitting beams of golden light, showing a determination to not stop until Yang Haoran was slain.
Yang Haoran was not intimidated by his aggression. He mobilized his Yin spirit power and continuously infused it into Waning Moon through his hands, resisting the Old Man's fierce attacks.
"Stay calm! So what if you lost a brother? I lost even my wife! Don't forget why we're here! As long as you're strong enough, everyone is just a brother before you!"
Seeing this, the black talisman master shouted at the Exorcist Elder, his words carrying a strong sense of frustration.
The black talisman master's reminder was not without significance. Upon hearing his words, the Exorcist Elder struggled with conflicting desires.
In the end, he made a decision!
"I know what to do! I'll hold off this Underworld Envoy! You seize the opportunity to restrain Feng Yaoshi! Then we'll immediately withdraw from here!"
The Exorcist Elder's response relieved the black talisman master. His greatest concern was the Exorcist Elder losing control and causing further harm.
He didn't reply because he had no chance to. While he was reminding the Exorcist Elder, Feng Yaoshi took out a bottle of elixir and consumed it. After taking the elixir, Feng Yaoshi's strength surged dramatically. Previously weak, Feng Yaoshi became revitalized as if injected with energy.
Under Feng Yaoshi's control, the lake below boiled violently, and the water condensed into a black giant python as thick as a water bucket, lunging towards the black talisman master.
Faced with this situation, the black talisman master had no leisure to respond to the Exorcist Elder. He swiftly dodged the giant python's attack.
Although he avoided the giant python's bite, his body was still struck by the giant python's tail. The powerful impact sent him plummeting towards the lake below like a cannonball.
The toxicity of the lake water was something the black talisman master had witnessed firsthand. Therefore, he dared not let himself truly fall into the water. As his body was about to touch the water, he forcibly stopped his descent.
As his clothing touched the lake water, a green smoke rose, indicating the potent toxicity and corrosiveness of the water.
Just as he stabilized his body, under Feng Yaoshi's control, the giant python changed direction and once again lunged at the black talisman master. Seeing this, the black talisman master swiftly dodged again.
Boom!
The giant python plunged into the lake water, creating a massive splash.
Though the black talisman master successfully evaded the giant python's attack, there was no ease on his face. The impact from the python's tail not only caused certain damage to his physical body but also inflicted him with some potent toxins.
Since the giant python was formed from lake water, the toxic smoke rising from its surface was highly poisonous. The moment it touched his skin, the affected area immediately felt a sharp pain, and the skin turned black.
In addition, just before his body was about to fall into the lake, although he managed to stabilize himself in midair, he was also enveloped by the poisonous mist rising from the water's surface, which similarly had a significant impact on him.
The black talisman master knew that he was already infected with a potent toxin. If not dealt with immediately, the toxin would quickly spread throughout his body, potentially leading to his death.
Facing this situation, he immediately mobilized some of his power to force out the infecting toxin from his body. Since he had just been infected, the toxin hadn't fully penetrated or spread within his body, so he easily expelled it.
Then, he expended some of his power to create a protective barrier on the surface of his body. With this barrier in place, his safety would be greatly ensured. As long as the barrier didn't break, the toxin wouldn't affect him.
Meanwhile, with a loud rumble, the giant python burst through the water's surface and, under Feng Yaoshi's control, launched another attack on the black talisman master.
This time, the black talisman master didn't continue to dodge because he knew that simply evading would only make him more passive and wouldn't achieve his goal in a short time.
So this time, instead of dodging, he waved his hands and took out several black talismans from his independent space!
The talismans turned into black lights and swiftly adhered to the attacking giant python.
The moment the black talismans adhered to the giant python, they instantly burned to ashes. At the same time, several bursts of icy coldness erupted, and with a crackling sound, the ferocious giant python was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture!
Snap!
The ice sculpture shattered, turning into a pile of ice blocks that fell into the lake below.
The giant python contained a potent toxin, so to prevent the toxin from affecting him, the black talisman master decisively used ice talismans. This way, he didn't have to worry about being affected by the potent toxin.
However, the giant python was massive, and one ice talisman was not enough to deal with it. To save time and effort, he didn't hold back and used multiple ice talismans at once, instantly freezing the giant python into an ice sculpture. Help us out by reading on M|V|LEM5PYR.
After the giant python was destroyed, Feng Yaoshi emitted a muffled groan of pain. The giant python was formed through his power and under his control, so its destruction also affected his body to some extent.
Normally, the destruction of the giant python wouldn't have much impact on him, but the current situation was different. He was severely injured, and every bit of influence would worsen his condition.
If it weren't for the extraordinary elixir he had just consumed, he probably wouldn't have much combat power left by now. It was only because of the elixir's assistance that he could emit just a muffled groan now; otherwise, he would have spat blood long ago.
After the giant python shattered, Feng Yaoshi didn't stop there. He let out a roar of anger, and through his own power, he once again condensed two giant pythons as thick as water buckets.
After the appearance of the two giant pythons, they roared and lunged towards the black talisman master.
At the same time, the poisonous gas rising from the lake surface condensed into various strange poisonous insects at this moment, including poisonous snakes, toads, scorpions, and some unidentified bugs.
These poisonous insects were also Feng Yaoshi's creation. After condensing the two giant pythons, he had no intention of stopping but instead condensed the poisonous mist into various poisonous insects. Although these poisonous insects were not large, their numbers were extremely large, numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands, making one's scalp tingle at a glance.
This scene not only startled the black talisman master but also startled the Exorcist Elder and Yang Haoran. Each of these poisonous insects emitted a formidable power fluctuation, and if they all attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, using this move also took a toll on Feng Yaoshi. Immediately after consuming the elixir, his body condition temporarily improved, and he gained a boost in strength. However, after using this move, he seemed to have been instantly drained of energy, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The complexion under his mask instantly turned pale.
"Feng Yaoshi! Are you trying to kill yourself? Although you're an Alchemist, exhausting your body like this is suicidal! We only want your help in refining some elixirs! You don't need to push yourself so hard!"
While dodging the attacks of the two giant pythons and taking out several ice talismans from his independent space, the black talisman master shouted at Feng Yaoshi, hoping to change his mind through this method!
"Humph! Are you afraid now? It's too late!" Feng Yaoshi coldly snorted in response to the black talisman master.
His voice was cold, firm, but also sounded weak.
