Chapter 66 Flame Venom and Bee Tail Venom, they really have potential!
The unidentified spirit ship approached rapidly, and two figures came into Chen Ye's sight.
They are a man and a woman.
The male cultivator was burly and carried a high-grade magic weapon longsword on his back. The spiritual energy he emitted was much stronger than Chen Ye's, so he was probably a cultivator at the eighth level of the Spirit Condensation Realm.
The female cultivator was slender and wielded a mid-grade magic sword. Her aura was similar to Chen Ye's, suggesting she had also recently broken through to the late stage of the Spirit Gathering realm.
"A raid is underway in the waters ahead to suppress those who are attempting to rob cultivators. All unrelated personnel must leave immediately!"
As soon as the two approached, the male cultivator stood on the deck and shouted fiercely at Chen Ye.
Encirclement and suppression of the rebel cultivators?
Chen Ye glanced at the two men's attire, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.
Logically speaking, this sea area already falls within the Gong family's sphere of influence, so even if it's a matter of besieging and suppressing the robber cultivators, it should be the Gong family cultivators who take action.
Although these two were not weak, neither their robes nor their magical artifacts bore any insignia of the Gong family, clearly indicating that they had no connection with the Gong family whatsoever.
They are not cultivators of the Gong family, yet they have come to the Gong family's territory to besiege and plunder cultivators.
Not right.
But when he was out and about, Chen Ye didn't want to cause any trouble.
"In that case, I'll just go around you."
Chen Ye cupped his hands in greeting and prepared to control the spirit ship to leave this sea area, but before he could start the spirit ship, the slender female cultivator with a somewhat mean face suddenly asked in a doubtful voice.
"Wait, kid, which island are you from?"
"I am a rogue cultivator from Yunrui Island."
Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he answered casually.
Yunrui Island is a spiritual island on the edge of the Gong family's territory, and it just so happens to be in the same direction as Chen Ye's sailing.
"Yunrui Island? Heh, Yunrui Island is now Zhou family territory!"
The burly male cultivator sneered upon hearing this.
"Oh? I've been away from Yunrui Island for a whole year, so I really didn't know about this. But as a rogue cultivator, it doesn't matter who controls Yunrui Island."
Chen Ye said nonchalantly, "That's how rogue cultivators are. They don't care which force controls the Spirit Island. They just want a place to stay."
"Alright, you can go now."
The slender female cultivator waved her hand impatiently, seemingly believing Chen Ye's words. But just as Chen Ye turned around, she suddenly drew her magic sword and stabbed straight at him.
"Lian-mei?"
"Brother Teng, this person is a cultivator from the Gong family, and his spirit ship was built by the Golden Wutong Island Shipyard!"
The woman called Lianmei answered quickly, her hands moving swiftly, but just as she was about to stab Chen Ye...
huh~~
A thick black mist materialized out of thin air and instantly enveloped Chen Ye's body.
"Illusionary Mist Technique?"
Lotus Sister, the female cultivator, let out a soft cry. The Illusionary Mist Technique was a unique spell of the Gong family. She had seen people use it before when they were intercepting and killing Gong family cultivators in the nearby seas these past few days.
"Damn it, they really are from the Gong family!"
The burly male cultivator cursed and hurriedly drew his long sword from his back. However, before he could even slash out, the black mist surged, and three beams of energy shot out almost simultaneously.
Puff puff!
The aura was extremely powerful, and the whistling sound it produced when it cut through the air made the burly male cultivator dare not underestimate it. He quickly raised his long sword to protect his chest!
clang!!
With a crisp crack, the immense force sent the burly male cultivator's wrist numbing, and he staggered back a step.
How can this kid's magic be so fierce?
The burly male cultivator gritted his teeth and thought to himself, if he hadn't reacted quickly, this attack would have pierced right through his chest!
"Ah~~"
Just as he was feeling fortunate, a scream came from beside him. The burly male cultivator turned around and saw that his sister Lian had been hit by two other beams of energy.
The wrist holding the longsword was blown off, the pale, shattered bones exposed to the air. A fist-sized hole was blasted into his abdomen by the energy blast, and blood gushed out as he collapsed onto the deck.
"Lian-mei!"
The burly male cultivator's eyes turned red, and with this roar, his spiritual power surged, forming visible sound waves that spread outwards, instantly dispersing the pervasive black mist and revealing Chen Ye's figure.
Chen Ye remained calm. The Illusionary Mist Technique was inherently flawed, and its effectiveness diminished with increasing cultivation level. It was perfectly normal for it to be broken.
A flash of light appeared in his hand as he summoned the Azure Pattern Spear, unleashing the demonic soul within. He then hurled it, aiming a fierce thrust at the burly male cultivator's face.
Seeing his Daoist partner severely injured before his eyes, the burly male cultivator was filled with extreme resentment. He poured his spiritual power into his longsword, and with a surge of blood energy, he unleashed a powerful slash!
boom!
Although the Azure Pattern Spear, after activating its demonic soul, was comparable in power to a high-grade magic weapon, it was essentially only a mid-grade weapon. Furthermore, it had been damaged in previous battles, and its power had diminished considerably. It was unsurprisingly cleaved away by this fierce slash.
"You brat, you dare hurt my Lianmei? I'll kill you!"
When the burly male cultivator saw that Chen Ye no longer had his magic weapon, a fierce look flashed across his face. He was about to deal with the boy first before treating his Daoist partner when he suddenly heard a short buzzing sound in his ear.
"What is that?" The burly male cultivator's expression hardened, and he subconsciously activated his spiritual power to condense a layer of spiritual power shield around his body.
snort~
This thin spiritual energy shield is fine for defending against spells or magical artifact attacks, but it's not enough against the stinger of the Devouring Bee, which Chen Ye has quenched with evil poison.
With a soft sound, like a bubble being popped, the Devouring Pattern Bee, with its stinger like a nail, easily pierced through the burly male cultivator's spiritual energy shield, leaving a pinhole-sized wound on the tender flesh of his neck!
"A demonic insect?!"
The burly male cultivator's expression changed drastically. Cultivators are not afraid of direct, back-and-forth combat, but rather of these insidious and vicious methods!
While casting the Illusionary Mist Technique, Chen Ye casually released the Devouring Pattern Bees that he had been raising in the insect sac for a long time.
He also wanted to test the power of this late-stage demonic insect. Of course, the toxicity of the Devouring Pattern Bee alone was not enough, so Chen Ye had already left a wisp of Flame Fiend Poison on the Devouring Pattern Bee's stinger beforehand.
After being stabbed, the burly male cultivator first felt a burning sensation on his neck, as if a red-hot iron pestle was being pressed and rubbed against his skin. Then, the burning sensation seeped into his body, and the wound began to itch unbearably. In the blink of an eye, a pustule the size of a fist swelled up!
"ah!!"
The burly male cultivator was driven to madness by the pain and itching sensation, completely unable to control his urge to scratch the boils on his neck.
bang~
The moment it was touched, the abscess burst open, and a yellowish, foul-smelling liquid oozed out.
"The combined power of that bee sting and the fiery poison is actually this great?"
Chen Ye was also slightly surprised. He had just had a sudden inspiration to use the Flame Fiend Poison and the Bee Tail Sting Poison together, but he did not expect to create an effect greater than the sum of its parts!
But then the male cultivator frantically grabbed at Chen Ye's neck, no longer caring about attacking him. In no time, he had torn the flesh to shreds, leaving a bloody mess.
Chen Ye, too lazy to watch him suffer any longer, simply drew his Crimson Feather Sword and swung it at his head.
Click~
The sword energy pierced through the top of the head, turning the contents inside into a paste.
