Poison was the hardest thing to guard against in the world.
It was worth noting that the Insects were known for being poisonous. The lizards here were not considered one of the 5 poisonous creatures but being part of the Insects, their toxicity and resistance toward poison were notable.
Therefore, they would not have imagined anyone to use poison against them.
Besides, what was the time now?
High above the sky, 2 powerful Venerable Ones were having a life-or-death fight, whereas the lizards below were captivated by the fearsome momentums that surged down. Given the situation, even the most alert lizard would not have thought that someone would have the guts to attack them.
The poisonous pill’s spirit kept releasing its poisonous gas. Its poison came from Ghost Mo from the Centipedes and became horrifyingly toxic ever since Ou Yangming purified the inner core. Moreover, the spirit also almost wiped out the Plant Poisonous Pills in the Poison Forest in the secret realm.
Since the Poison Forest had existed for at least 10,000 years, one could imagine how many pills it had bred and how poisonous they were.
If the poisonous pill’s spirit was a legitimate living being, even if it was a Venerable One, it would have exploded to its death after consuming so many poisonous pills in one go.
Fortunately, it was only a spiritual body. Although it devoured sufficient poisonous pills, it stored their poisons. As time passed and through continuous fights, the spirit then released the accumulated poison bit by bit.
In other words, the poison possessed by the poisonous pill’s spiritual body had become stronger, and the spirit had also become more profound in controlling it.
Once the poisonous gas was released, none of the lizards noticed it.
A match between Venerable Ones would not end so quickly, but the poisonous gas invaded the lizards’ bodies very quickly as they let down their guards. After a split second, the poisonous pill’s spirit notified Ou Yangming that it was done spreading the poisonous gas, and it waited for his signal for the burst.
Ou Yangming gritted his teeth and touched his waist sash gently to trigger the Illusion Formation Skill in a small range.
Before this, he was only trying his luck to compact the skill to be added to the waist sash. He ended up succeeding because he was familiar with the Illusion Formation, but it was mostly due to the waist sash’s material.
A skill was much less forceful than a formation board but similarly, the spiritual power fluctuation caused by a skill was also extremely limited, by which one would only leave a negligible trace.
Hence, Ou Yangming decided to use the Illusion Formation Skill on his waist sash after thorough consideration.
As soon as the Illusion Formation was released, the poisonous pill’s spirit set off the poisons in the lizards’ bodies.
At the same time, Ou Yangming, Big Yellow, and the poisonous pill’s spirit swayed and went behind the 3 high-rank lizards.
The 3 high-rank lizards were in terrible luck. Normally, they would have sensed Ou Yangming and his companions, by which they would have noticed where danger was coming from even if they were in the Illusion Formation.
However, the high-rank lizards were completely attracted to the energy repercussions in the sky, and they pictured an intense fight in their heads. Even though their imaginations were not worth mentioning as compared to the real fight that was going on between the Venerable Ones, they were fully immersed.
As Ou Yangming waved, his Long Feather Band, which he had retrieved long ago, emitted a ray of light and enveloped one of the high-rank lizards.
Before the lizard could react to the situation, it was already captured into the Long Feather Band’s space.
Following that, Ou Yangming used a spear to pin another lizard on the ground, then he slashed it with a saber. When a saber-light was released from the saber, the lizard’s head was slowly cut off.
Ou Yangming had several experiences in sneak attacks, but this was unquestionably the fastest and the most convenient one.
On the other hand, Big Yellow and the poisonous pill’s spirit pounced on another high-rank lizard. The spirit swayed and stuck its body on the lizard’s spine, then it pierced all of its legs deep into the lizard’s body and injected poison without an end.
As for Big Yellow, it stabbed its sharp claws into the high-rank lizard’s neck, chest, and other vital parts, causing the lizard to lose its lease of life.
The 2 lizards, which were initially high from comprehending the rippling auras in the space, suddenly felt that their body’s vital parts hurt. It was a serious death threat that affected their souls.
Right away, the high-rank lizards were appalled. The instant they withdrew their mental conceptions, they sensed that their bodies were empty as though their powers vanished in an instant.
The poisons were plant poisons. Their toxicity was not overpowering thus they did not kill the lizards at once. Having said that, when the poisons infiltrated their bodies and invaded each of their cells, they formed perfect chains, which immediately caused fatal damages to the insects once they burst.
While the lizards did their best to struggle, they had lost their best opportunity.
In just a few breaths, one of the high-rank lizards lost its head. Its body, which was pinned to the ground by Ou Yangming’s spear, was still wriggling, but it would not catch anyone’s attention.
The high-rank lizard that was attacked by the poisonous pill’s spirit and Big Yellow died an even more awful death.
As poison kept being injected into the lizard’s body, its body seemed to have gone fully numb. Consequently, Big Yellow made holes in its body continuously, such that it never got to counterattack even until it died.
Ou Yangming was elated because they took down 2 high-rank lizards effortlessly.
When he channeled his mental conception into the Long Feather Band’s space, he sighed a breath of relief.
Perhaps it was intentional yet unintentional, or perhaps the big lazy turtle was already capable enough to crush a high-rank lizard, the turtle was seen biting the lizard with its terrifying mouth inside the Long Feather Band’s space. As a result, plenty of blood flowed out of the lizard’s body and dyed the sea red.
The high-rank lizard was still struggling, but it was only twitching subconsciously. Ou Yangming could tell at one glance that it was about to die.
Ou Yangming’s eyes flickered as he kept the 2 high-rank lizards’ carcasses into his other Long Feather Band’s space. He cleaned up the spot more thoroughly this time, where he even raked the surface that was covered in blood.
Subsequently, he and his companions flashed toward the other lizards.
The lizards were even more unlucky. The high-rank lizards could slightly resist the plant’s poisons that invaded their bodies, but the ordinary lizards could not resist at all when the poisons went deep inside and burst all of a sudden.
They were paralyzed on the ground, and each of them inhaled weakly but exhaled deeply. Even if nobody went against them, only 1 or 2 of them would be able to survive as time passed.
How could they survive since they were up against Ou Yangming and Big Yellow—their banes?
Ou Yangming and Big Yellow went forward and struck the lizards’ weakest spots, then they freed them from their sufferings at the fastest speeds.
After going one round to kill the lizard, Ou Yangming opened his Long Feather Band’s space and stored the lizards there without leaving any of them behind.
Once everything was done, whether it was Ou Yangming or Big Yellow, they were exhausted and were almost out of energy.
This was not only because they consumed too much power in a short period but most importantly, it was also because the enormous mental pressure almost made them crumble.
The 2 Venerable Ones were immersed in their fight in the sky, but nobody knew when it would end. If they suddenly stopped fighting or one of them released their mental conception to the ground during their fight, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow would be exposed for sure.
If Ghost-clawed Venerable One found out what Ou Yangming did, it would be clear what would happen to him.
The human and the dog exchanged glances. Ou Yangming reached out to capture the poisonous pill’s spirit and sent it into one of his interspatial bags.
Next, he and the big yellow dog put on their cloaks and withdrew the Illusion Formation before they escaped into the distance.
They only slowed down after they ran over 5 kilometers away.
Though they were still somewhat nervous, they were thrilled and delighted. The only thing was that they were still fearful when they recalled their attack earlier.
Even Ou Yangming, who initiated the attack, was still nervous. He even suspected if he would insist on the sneak attack if he could make a choice again.
High-rank lizards—those were 3 high-rank lizards!
It was a miracle that they managed to succeed this time.
The repercussions from the Venerable Ones’ fight drew most of the high-rank lizards’ attention. Considering the fact that the poisonous pill’s spirit gained better control of its poison, learned a greater trick to release poison, and possessed a more intense poison, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow could easily break the high-rank lizards’ defenses with their superb pieces of equipment.
It could not have been easily pulled off by even Advanced Spiritualists among the Humans.
Those few factors were the exact reason Ou Yangming finally succeeded in killing all of the lizards.
As long as he lacked one of those conditions, the outcome would have been entirely different.
After Ou Yangming and Big Yellow went far away in their cloaks, instead of going further, they waited quietly over there.
They were not Advanced Spiritualists, but their cultivation bases could not be merely determined by boundaries. In particular, ever since Ou Yangming explored his Military Fire’s origin, he naturally gained different knowledge and abilities.
He actually fathomed something when he sensed the repercussions in the air.
The young fellow closed his eyes slightly and began to immerse in the feeling from the Venerable Ones’ drifting auras.
Big Yellow blinked and seemed to be moved as well, but it hesitated for a while and decided to protect Ou Yangming.
Between the 2 of them, one must alert and awake.
