Chapter 131 Killing the Late-Game Player
Seeing Liu Wusheng maneuvering the flying insects to meet the Li Huo Ring Talisman, Li Ping dared not be negligent.
The fact that the opponent dared to do this after witnessing the power of the Fire Ring is enough to prove their confidence.
He swiftly rode the light of his escape into the sky, waving the Blood Banner in his hand, causing the invisible and colorless blood-corroding poison to envelop the approaching swarm of insects.
During the battle, he also sensed the weaknesses of the Blood Banner.
That is because the toxin spreads too slowly, so it can only be used for surprise attacks. Once the enemy notices it, it is basically no longer effective.
For example, the young man with kidney deficiency was very cautious at this moment. While suppressing the blood-corroding poison in his body, he kept moving around and did not stay in the same place for too long.
Clearly, he was very worried that he would be poisoned further.
……
"Buzz...buzz..."
The enormous number of green flying insects almost formed a green cloud, with a piercing buzzing sound echoing in the air.
Li Ping pointed, and the Fire Ring Talisman transformed into a ball of flame, crashing directly into the green mist.
"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"
Insects were constantly being burned to death by the flames, their remains falling to the ground. But what made Li Ping's face grim was that the remaining insects continued to rush towards the Fire Ring Talisman, fearlessly attacking it and actually slowing it down.
These flying insects, of unknown origin, are able to affect talismans that have no physical form.
Liu Wusheng, watching from afar, saw that the incredibly powerful talisman was gradually slowing down under the entanglement of the green mist formed by the flying insects, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He obtained these green devouring insects from the Spirit Control Sect at great cost. Not only are their defenses astonishing, but they also contain a strange poison and can feed on spiritual energy.
The ring of flames formed by the opponent's talisman was ultimately composed of spiritual energy, which was precisely what his spirit insect could counter.
But before Liu Wusheng could relax a little, he saw that some of the green devouring insects, which were consuming spiritual energy, suddenly rolled over belly up, lost their life force, and collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, just like a snowdrift collapsing, more and more green worms fell belly up.
In just a moment, a large cloud of green mist was swept away.
"Poison again! What kind of poison is this? Even the Green Devouring Insects can't withstand it." Liu Wusheng gritted his teeth.
The saliva of the green worm contains a potent toxin, and the worm itself has a strong resistance to the toxin. He originally thought that the green worm could withstand the colorless and odorless toxin.
But to their surprise, the green worms were completely unable to resist.
Without the green worms blocking their way, the flames on the Fire Ring ignited once more!
boom!
The fiery ring streaked across the sky and crashed directly into Liu Wusheng.
Liu Wusheng hurriedly took out a black flag, and as he waved it, a mist python emerged from it. The mist python was as if it were alive, with each scale clearly defined, and it kept flicking its tongue.
Subsequently, under Liu Wusheng's command, the mist python pounced directly at the Fire Ring, coiling its body into a circle and trapping the Fire Ring inside.
Despite its attempts to break free from the fire ring, it couldn't escape for a while.
But with each of its attacks, Liu Wusheng, who was controlling the mist python, felt his consciousness about to collapse, and he felt a sharp pain in his head, with even a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
In particular, although he forcibly suppressed the toxins in his body, it also caused his magical power to become obscured, and even his control over magical artifacts felt clunky.
But he still forced himself to hold on, because the power of the opponent's talisman was limited, and he only needed to hold on until the power of the opponent's talisman was exhausted.
At that time, he was 100% confident that he could deal with a mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator!
However, unnoticed by Liu Wusheng, Li Ping was simultaneously manipulating the Fire Ring Talisman to fight the Mist Python.
Seeing that Liu Wusheng moved nimbly and the Blood Banner was ineffective, he quietly put the Blood Banner away.
Instead, nine translucent flying needles appeared. These nine deadly needles, coated with poison, flew silently across the sky and circled around to within ten feet of Liu Wusheng.
Because the manipulation of the spiritual energy mist python to trap the Fire Ring attracted all of Liu Wusheng's attention, and because the flying needle was a very small target, it hardly caused any spiritual energy fluctuations during its flight.
For a moment, he was completely unaware of the approaching flying needles.
But Li Ping was no longer waiting; he suddenly made a hand seal.
Whoosh! Whoosh—
Nine flying needles, like venomous snakes that had been lying in wait, suddenly sprang up and headed straight for Liu Wusheng's entire body!
"not good!"
Upon seeing the flying needles approaching, Liu Wusheng immediately cried out in alarm.
He was already feeling overwhelmed and dizzy from controlling the black flag to resist the Fire Ring Talisman and suppressing the toxins in his body.
There was simply no spare capacity to prepare any defensive measures.
Seeing the flying needles coming at him, with an extremely wide attack range, he couldn't completely avoid them even if he tried his best to dodge.
He had no choice but to avoid vital areas such as his face and heart, and instead endure the attacks of several flying needles.
In his view, the flying needles are small in size, and even if they are hit, as long as they do not hit vital organs, they will only suffer minor injuries and will not cause serious harm.
puff!puff!
Two flying needles pierced Liu Wusheng's abdomen, but did not penetrate; instead, they remained inside his body.
Of course, this is not because the flying needles were not powerful enough to pierce the human body, or because Liu Wusheng had cultivated some kind of body-refining method, resulting in a body that was far more resilient than that of ordinary cultivators!
This was something Li Ping did intentionally.
After analyzing the pros and cons of the last battle, he concluded that the main source of damage from the deadly flying needles was the poison.
Therefore, leaving the flying needle inside the opponent's body will obviously leave more toxins and cause continuous damage than passing through the body.
Moreover, the deadly needles contained more than just snake venom.
After returning to the Immortal City, while he was collecting poisons to feed the Blood Banner for refining, he also added several more potent poisons to the Deadly Flying Needles, making them far more toxic than before!
……
Seeing that he had avoided a vital area, Liu Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment.
He only felt a sharp numbness coming from his abdomen, and in the blink of an eye, he lost all feeling in his abdomen.
His face immediately darkened: "The flying needles were poisoned!"
Despite his best efforts to prevent it, he still ended up being poisoned.
Unlike the Blood-Corroding Poison, which spreads through the air, the amount that enters his body is small, and he can forcibly suppress it.
The flying needles are now lodged in his body, and the toxins are continuously penetrating his flesh and blood, which he cannot suppress at all.
At the critical moment, Liu Wusheng was ruthless. He took out a knife-shaped magic weapon and cut off half of his abdomen along with the flying needles, exposing his internal organs and intestines.
"I am Liu Wusheng of the Blood Shadow Sect. Fellow Daoist, please stop." Given his fondness for poison, Liu Wusheng was now quite certain that his opponent was also a member of the Demonic Sect.
That's why he hurriedly introduced himself, hoping that the other party could make a deal out of consideration for their shared status as demonic cultivators. He was willing to give up half of the treasures in his master's storage bag.
"Hmph, Blood Shadow Cult!"
Li Ping completely ignored him, and instead took advantage of the moment when Liu Wusheng was severely injured and his magical power was fluctuating. He manipulated the Fire Ring to break free from the mist python's entanglement, transforming it into a fireball that slammed into Liu Wusheng!
Upon seeing this scene, Liu Wusheng's eyes revealed resentment.
Without hesitation, he used the "Blood Wing Escape Technique," and two huge blood wings spread out behind him.
"I'll remember you for pushing me to this point."
After uttering a threat, Liu Wusheng did not hesitate to transform into a streak of blood and flee into the distance.
"Bloodwing Escape Technique!" Li Ping recognized the escape technique he was using at a glance, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer the consequences. I can't let you leave today; I must keep you here."
They didn't bother to put away the flying needles, talismans, and other items.
call out!
He too transformed into a streak of blood, chasing after the direction Liu Wusheng had fled.
……
"How hateful, how hateful!"
As Liu Wusheng fled at top speed, he cursed inwardly.
He knew that after his master used the Bloodwing Escape Technique to escape, his life force was exhausted, leaving him with no choice but to possess another body. That's why he came to the Immortal City with great enthusiasm, intending to kill his master and seize his storage bag at the same time.
But he never expected to be forced into this situation. He was already seriously injured, and now he had to use a forbidden secret technique to escape.
Even if they escape, they can only try to save their lives by possessing another body, just like their master.
One hundred and fifty years of arduous cultivation, all vanished into nothingness.
How could he not hate that!
"Who exactly is this horse-faced Taoist priest?" he thought viciously. "When I get back, I'll wipe out his entire family!"
While he was thinking, he looked behind him again. But what he saw made him feel a chill run down his spine.
Because just a few miles behind him, a faint line of blood was chasing after him at an alarming speed.
In a flash, she covered several miles, tightly gripping him.
If he stops, he will be caught up by the other party in an instant.
"Bloodwing Escape Technique?" Liu Wusheng was astonished, completely unable to comprehend the thoughts of the pursuers behind him.
He dared to use this forbidden technique because he had no other choice; if he didn't use a teleportation technique to escape, he would perish on the spot.
But what are you after?
You'd risk your own life just to kill me?
What grudge, what hatred!
I'm just saying I want revenge!
……
He was seriously injured and poisoned, and could not defeat his opponent.
Now that he couldn't even escape, Liu Wusheng was utterly desperate.
He knew that the Bloodwing Escape Technique was not invincible.
My master was able to escape from the encirclement of several Core Formation cultivators, but it wasn't entirely due to this escape technique.
Perhaps Master Fenglan also cultivated the "Bloodwing Escape Technique," but she wouldn't use such a forbidden secret technique that depletes one's essence to pursue enemies.
This precious secret technique, which one might only use a few times in a lifetime, would only be used to escape.
Master was able to escape because Master Fenglan was unwilling to sacrifice his own lifespan to kill him.
As for Liu Wusheng, his luck is so bad right now that he's run into a fool, he can only accept his fate.
"If you want my life, then we'll die together!"
A madness flashed in Liu Wusheng's eyes. He stopped fleeing and turned around directly, holding a blue bead in his hand, and rushed towards Li Ping.
Upon seeing this, Li Ping turned and fled without hesitation.
When the enemy retreats, we pursue; when the enemy advances, we retreat!
He used this tactic to its fullest potential.
Seeing Li Ping turn and flee, Liu Wusheng's eyes flashed with grief and indignation.
boom!
A thunderclap boomed, and a ball of silvery-white light enveloped Liu Wusheng completely.
When the lightning dissipated, only some fragments remained scattered on the spot.
