Whoosh…
It was a very soft sound of air being swept across…
One by one, the Heavenly Poisonous Arrows moved through the air and stealthily darted towards the group of enemies at the back.
There were no fluctuations of immortal power, nor any sharpness.
However, it was inevitable for there to be some disruption in the air.
In order to prevent the immortal enemies from sensing them, the arrows did not dart at any of them. Instead, they locked onto the gaps between the figures at the periphery…
Li Changshou’s timing was very accurate.
At the back of the two arenas, forty arrows successfully reached the designated height.
The half-foot-long cylinder in front of the poisonous arrow split open at the same time. Waves of colorless and odorless poisonous powder and poisonous fog spread in the sky…
Plop…
They were like colorful fireworks that bloomed in the clear sky.
At the periphery of the enemies, the twenty-odd Perfected Immortals did not have time to turn around. Suddenly, their vision turned black and they fell down towards the clouds…
Gusts of wind blew, and the poison that could kill Heaven Immortals quickly scattered. Black shadows kept falling downwards like dumplings.
The Blood Mosquito puppets were truly afraid of being poisoned.
This time, they reacted extremely quickly. One of the Heaven Immortal puppets noticed that something was amiss and immediately shouted.
“Drumming Dharma powers! Someone from the rear poisoned us in a scheming manner!”
At that moment, the immortal power, demonic power, and spiritual energy around the enemies surged, dispersing the poisonous fog and poisonous powder that floated towards them!
However, before that, more than fifty Perfected Immortals had been poisoned to death…
There were more than a hundred figures who were more or less infected with poison. At this moment, they were trying their best to resist the poison, and their battle strength was greatly reduced.
The Blood Mosquito puppets immediately began to search for the person who schemed against them.
At that moment, the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were also at a loss. They did not know where the “aid” had come from.
However, they were suppressed on the cloud path around Heaven-Breaking Peak. The two groups of powerful enemies were still extremely ferocious, and it was very difficult for them to receive external aid…
Most importantly, the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect…
There was no sign of any aid!
The effects of the poisonous arrows were not perfect. Li Changshou did not feel any excitement or regret. He simply secretly summarized the shortcomings of his Dharma artifacts.
This method of launching poison in all directions was never as good as using immortal power to silently send poisonous powder to the other party’s essence soul…
Overall, he had wasted most of the poisonous properties of the poisonous pills.
In order to prevent the poisonous fog from accidentally injuring his fellow disciples, Li Changshou used two Heaven Immortal Poisons in the arrows, which were more difficult to refine and had time limits.
After a while, the remaining poison in the air would dissipate…
Although the concept behind that arrow was not bad, it could be restrained too easily. Its effect was not as good as using a Poison Array of the same amount.
Li Changshou concluded in his head that the battle situation had changed again.
The Blood Mosquito puppets quickly determined the direction that the poisonous arrows were being shot in. Their counter-attacks were swift and fierce!
On both sides of the Heaven-Splitting Peak, there were more than ten figures that had escaped from the battle at the rear of the enemy’s formation and were charging towards the location where the paper dolls were hiding.
They raised their Dharma treasures, condensed their mystical abilities, and smashed them at the two mountains!
In the darkness, Li Changshou revealed an inexplicable smile…
The forty paper dolls did not retreat and hide!
When the thirty-odd Perfected Immortal puppets swooped down to the top of the two forests, three paper dolls charged out from the side of the forest to attract their attention.
However, after the six figures appeared, they could barely charge forward for more than a thousand feet. Soon, they were crushed by the streams of light coming from behind.
At this moment!
The remaining 34 paper dolls rushed out from their hiding places!
Their aura surged, and their movements were quick and agile. They charged straight at the puppets…
The two groups of puppets that had rushed down to fight back immediately attacked. However, while they were in a hurry, half of the paper immortal soldiers had rushed to their side!
Without any hesitation, the paper dolls exploded!
A total of ten figures exploded in the forest on both sides of the forest!
The scene was extremely tragic. The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were furious, but they could not do anything for the paper dolls that were giving aid…
However, after the explosion…
The thirty or so Blood Mosquito puppets that had rushed to the mountain forest remained completely unharmed. All of them were in a daze, not knowing what they had just experienced…
The power of the explosion was rather weak.
Even though the people, demons, and spirits were under the control of the Blood Mosquitoes and only had a small portion of their conscious left, they had experienced quite a bit of mental turmoil in that short period.
In the beginning, they were lucky to have escaped death when the colorless poisonous fog appeared behind them.
(They felt a little fortunate.)
After that, they received an order to counterattack in the direction of the poisonous arrows. When they discovered the figures who had fled in a hurry, they immediately attacked and killed them. They did not waste any time.
(They were relatively calm.)
The situation suddenly changed. The six figures merely diverted their attention and yet, the Dao Immortal soldiers rushed out from the forest below without any warning and dashed towards them!
(They were a little nervous.)
To their surprise, the immortal weapons that were charging at them were very ‘weak’. If they were poked, they would die and if they were smacked, they would break.
(Why was that so?)
However, the other party did not have any plans. The person who had been hiding previously had not revealed any traces. The other party still managed to reach him, and the other party actually self-destructed!
(Scared to death.)
What was amusing was that their self-explosions did not have much power, but there were sounds and momentum. It would be better for them to be smashed by an ordinary Dharma treasure of an Essence Immortal…
(Why was that so?)
Suddenly!
The thirty-odd enemies’ vision turned black. Their essence souls were in pain at first, and then they lost their sense of the outside world. Their immortal powers dissipated, and they fell down in unison in mid-air…
They were finally enlightened before their death…
(The explosion was poisonous.)
At the top of the mountain forest, more than thirty figures fell at the same time.
In the darkness, Li Changshou raised his eyebrows, feeling a little helpless.
Why are there only a few Heaven Immortals that rushed down?
He controlled the four paper effigies and made them continue to hide underground. Li Changshou did not need to look at them to deduce the reactions of the two parties.
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were naturally confused. They thought Those mosquito puppets should be going crazy…
In general, the first wave of sneak attacks had been quite effective. The pressure on their side had been greatly reduced, and the opponents had also suffered a setback.
At that moment, the four paper effigies at the bottom of the Heaven-Breaking Peak could not move recklessly. Li Changshou shifted his attention to the paper effigy with the words ‘Heaven Split’ written on it, and briefly checked the situation of the Little Qiong Peak’s array formation.
Then, he paid attention to the battle in the sky.
After Elder Qi Ling transformed into his main body, he became more and more ferocious as he fought. He steadily suppressed a Golden Immortal realm expert.
The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect…
Although he was a little lacking, he still managed to stall the two Golden Immortals.
Looks like I have to fight for a while more.
Li Changshou’s mind quickly returned to the four paper effigies and he prepared the Dharma artifacts that he needed to use next.
The first ambush had ended.
Next would be the second wave of operations…
I’ll lure them into a trap and catch them off guard!
It’s soon time to strike.
…
How can a mere Immortal Du Sect not be destroyed yet?
In a hidden Cave Abode near the spiritual mountain of the Western Sect in the Aparagodānīya Continent, Daoist Wen Jing was lying on the bed, clad in a light blue dress.
Two maids were kneeling beside her. One of them was fanning her, while the other was holding onto some immortal wine that looked like blood, waiting for their master to pick up the jade cup.
At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing was secretly observing the “massive” battle going on in the Immortal Du Sect, which happened because of the blood mosquitoes that she had released.
She was just watching the show.
Now, as long as she did not take the initiative to make a move and just stayed here, no one would know that she was the one behind it, unless the Saints of the Three Sects personally investigated her.
Moreover, the Second Saint of the Western Sect had already been blinded by her.
During the Primordial World, not many people knew about her. Even if the Blood Mosquitoes were exposed, they would only be regarded as a type of mystical ability.
Daoist Wen Jing knew very well that she was hiding in the shadows. If she exposed herself, she would lose most of her value.
At this moment, she had to watch the battle between the Immortal Du Sects.
If anything unexpected happened, such as the sudden arrival of experts from the Ren School to help the Immortal Sect, she would destroy the souls of the three Golden Immortals and use their bodies as a gift to the Jie School…
This scheme is much more interesting than fighting and killing.
Daoist Wen Jing revealed a charming and intoxicating smile. The two demon maids beside her simply lowered their heads as they did not dare to look at her.
Daoist Wen Jing began to watch the show. Five Golden Immortals were fighting.
Her attention had always been attracted by the battle between Golden Immortals and Heaven Immortals.
To her, Perfected Immortals were no different from Qi Refinement cultivators who had yet to become immortals. They were boring, monotonous, and mundane.
She felt that it was more interesting to watch a Golden Immortal fight, especially the rare, primeval species—the auspicious beast, Qilin. That made Daoist Wen Jing very hungry.
When Li Changshou secretly used the paper effigy to launch the first wave of attacks, he killed more than eighty Perfected Immortals and injured more than a hundred them, causing the situation between the two sides to be reversed to a certain extent.
The balance of victory and defeat had temporarily stabilized.
Hmm? What’s going on below?
Daoist Wen Jing scanned the surroundings of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, and her lips curled into a disdainful smile.
The puppets that she had collected at the last minute were of no use. They were about to be beaten up again!
Forget it. The Immortal Du Sect would probably not be destroyed in this battle today…
If that continued, the power of the blood lotus in the bodies of the three phony Golden Immortals would be completely depleted.
Hmph, if their own disciples were to attack, the tiny Immortal Du Sect would be gone in an instant…
Right, where did the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect go?
Daoist Wen Jing was a little puzzled. She looked up and down for a while and soon sneered.
There are some remnants of spiritual energy in the underground earth meridians. It seems to be… an Earth Meridian Teleportation Array?
Did they escape to the east?
Do you think you can hide this from me, the Queen?
Since I can’t destroy your sect, the effect of killing your disciples would be pretty good too…
The aftermath would definitely be very interesting.
If she took the initiative to control and contact those puppets now, she would expose herself to a certain extent.
However, Daoist Wen Jing felt a slight excitement and decided to take a small risk.
…
Near the Heaven-Breaking Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, where the thousands of Immortals were fighting, a trace of Dao runes descended and landed on a human Heaven Immortal Blood Mosquito puppet.
The Dao runes were then quickly extracted.
The old Daoist priest from the Heaven Immortal realm trembled and retreated from the battle. He summoned a demonic roc that was of the Perfected Immortal realm and laid on the back of the demonic roc.
In order to complete the orders that his ‘master’ had just given him, the old Daoist priest, the Heaven Immortal, ordered the demonic roc to head north first. Once they flew far enough, they would turn east…
Rocs were good at flying. The demonic rocs also had the bloodline of a Golden Immortal roc and had innate abilities.
At that moment, the demon roc was charging forward at full speed before disappearing without a trace…
A few Heaven Immortal Elders from the Immortal Du Sect noticed that. They guessed that the old Heaven Immortal Daoist and his demonic roc might be going to the east to cause trouble.
They secretly transmitted their voices, feeling extremely anxious.
However, at that moment, they were trapped near Heaven-Breaking Peak. Putting aside whether or not they could break out of the encirclement and rush to the east to rescue them, they could not catch up with the demonic roc’s speed!
After one of the Grand Elders left the battle, he took out a few messenger jade talismans and hurriedly contacted the elders who were in charge of the external affairs, and were already 8,000 kilometers to the east, to get them to bring their disciples to hide.
That was all they could do…
The elders of the Immortal Du Sect had misjudged two things.
Firstly, they did not expect the other party to be so ruthless.
The battle had yet to end and they were already going to find trouble with those disciples who had yet to become immortals!
Secondly…
The earth meridians were deep in the ground. How did the other party discover that they had hidden the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array?
However, the minor details that the Immortal Du Sect’s Elders had missed out… were long predicted by a disciple.
Daoist Wen had given Li Changshou a vicious impression. Li Changshou’s vigilance had been raised from the beginning…
The moment the Daoist priest of the Heaven Immortal realm and the demonic roc moved, Li Changshou captured their movements.
Although he felt that trouble was about to entail, he did not feel nervous.
It was definitely not because Li Changshou did not care much about his junior and master. Instead, he had already come up with a plan to deal with them. He could manage even if there were ten Heaven Immortals…
Ahem, that’s a bit too many.
Even if there were three to four Heaven Immortals, it would not be a big deal!
It’s about time…
Begin the second wave of battle!
At that moment, Li Changshou had to focus a portion of his attention on the Paper Effigy No. 3 beside Ling’e and start preparing for the battle.
He could only get Paper Effigy No. 2 to hide underground while the other three paper effigies appeared in the river valley outside the Heaven-Breaking Peak…
This time, he did not release the paper effigies.
The three figures that the paper effigies had transformed into flew into the sky!
Two men and one woman appeared on both sides. They took the initiative to expose their cultivation levels, which were all in the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm!
That was the highest realm that Li Changshou could simulate at the moment—the paper effigy only carried immortal power, and there was a limit to the amount that he could store.
Then, the three figures activated their immortal powers and shouted loudly!
They first looked to the north.
The young Daoist priest with a sword on his back shouted, “When we passed by this place, we saw a group of demons attacking the mountain!”
“How arrogant! “Fellow Daoist of the Immortal Du Sect, the two of us will help you!”
He was full of righteousness!
Following that, the female immortal holding a jade flute beside him said in a clear voice, “The world is bright and clear. Slay the demons and protect the humans!”
“Fellow Daoist of the Immortal Du Sect, please don’t worry about the two of us. We will not attack by force. We will first lure away some demons for you!”
Those words were very reasonable, making the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect calm down immediately. They were very grateful for those two strangers who had “accidentally passed by”.
Although many immortals felt that… there was something strange about their appearance…
Compared to the two paper effigies in the north, the burly man in the south was much more uncouth and straightforward.
The paper effigy carried a huge ax and was five kilometers away from the battle arena.
He shouted, “Damn it! That group of demons and ghouls! If you have what it takes, fight me head-on! I’m going to kill you and your ancestors!”
Immediately, the Blood Mosquito puppets surrounding the Heaven-Breaking Peak reacted!
In the north, more than ten black shadows charged towards the couple.
The paper effigy with the sword on his back laughed out loud. The two of them quickly retreated and executed a few spell techniques formed using immortal power. They advanced forward in a similar manner.
The ones on the southern side… were powerful…
More than twenty demons turned around and charged towards the burly man. At the front, there were two demons of the Heaven Immortal realm!
The burly paper effigy’s legs trembled. He lifted the huge ax and turned to fly away. However, he secretly executed Wind Escape and charged towards the Little Qiong Peak.
In order to attract the attention of those people, Li Changshou used the paper effigy to curse his heart out.
The burly man kept cursing and swearing. The more popular curses in the Primordial World were endless…
Examples would be ‘I don’t treat you as a son of a human’ and ‘I don’t care if you are a demon or not.’ Those were still considered quite amateur.
Li Changshou quickly decided to add more ingredients and started to shout a few more exciting words. Even though those demons were being controlled, they were still furious.
For example, the demons exploded into excitement when they heard what the humans in the Primordial World already knew…
“There are two Demon Emperors, but there is only one Demon Empress!”
“Your ancestors were beaten so badly by the witches that they did not even dare to land on the ground. They even shamelessly claimed that they had separated from the world of the witches! Have you got any shame? Have you?”
Streams of light shot out. The demons attacked one after another, wanting to tear the burly man to pieces.
However, the burly man’s immortal power erupted from his body and he retreated at high speed. Li Changshou merged his Wind Escape technique and dodged left and right in the air. He continued cursing.
Unknowingly, the burly paper effigy rushed to the sky above Little Qiong Peak, and a stream of light flew over from behind him.
Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy. His back was filled with immortal power, and he was deliberately hit by the pearl in the stream of light…
The burly man’s body was knocked down, and he fell towards Little Qiong Peak. He barely managed to stabilize himself in mid-air and turned to look at the group of demons that were flying towards him.
However, at that moment, the group of demons also sensed a hint of danger. There were a few human-shaped demons, and their eyes were filled with hesitation.
In the darkness, Li Changshou snorted coldly.
The burly, paper effigy turned around and stood on the edge of the array formation on the Little Qiong Peak. He made a thumbs-up gesture at the group of demons and then curled his finger in disdain.
“I’ve already fled for such a long time. So that’s all you can do. It’s not painful!”
“Come on, take me one on one!”
The demons were stunned for a moment before they pounced onto the burly man below.
The Blood Mosquitoes were secretly influencing him. Naturally, they were all going against him.
