Chapter 71

"Leader!"

When Ling Dao drew the Sunfire Sword, the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists all shouted out loud. The leader of the Poison Snake Gang let out a bitter laugh, never imagining that after a lifetime of wrongdoing, he would end up dying at the hands of a young boy.

Throughout his life, the leader of the Poison Snake Gang had never done any good deeds, but he had lived extremely freely. He never thought that on this day, his son, Xie Tianzong, would be killed, and even he himself would be killed. However, Ling Dao would also have to pay a price!

Just as the leader of the Poison Snake Gang's body fell, a small green snake suddenly flew out from his sleeve. In fact, the leader of the Poison Snake Gang's greatest strength was not his sword technique, but this small snake.

The Icefire Green Spirit Snake, though only the size of a finger, was extremely venomous. If bitten by the Icefire Green Spirit Snake, even a peak True Qi Realm martial artist would surely die. A Skysoaring Realm martial artist might resist for a while, but without treatment, they would ultimately die as well.

The leader of the Poison Snake Gang had relied on the Icefire Green Spirit Snake to dominate this area. His weaker opponents were killed by him, and his stronger opponents were bitten to death by the Icefire Green Spirit Snake. He had obtained this Icefire Green Spirit Snake due to a fortuitous encounter. Unfortunately, he thought Ling Dao was weak, otherwise, if he had used the Icefire Green Spirit Snake from the start, he might not have died.

Even with Ling Dao's speed, he could not match the Icefire Green Spirit Snake. In an instant, the Icefire Green Spirit Snake had darted to Ling Dao's shoulder and bit him fiercely on the neck. Immediately, Ling Dao's neck turned green, the same color as the Icefire Green Spirit Snake.

The Icefire Green Spirit Snake did not leave Ling Dao's shoulder but instead made it its little nest. In the Icefire Green Spirit Snake's mind, Ling Dao was already a dead man, as he felt that Ling Dao should be very weak.

"It's the Icefire Green Spirit Snake. Looks like I don't need to act!"

A cold smile flashed in Zhong Feifei's eyes. If it came to strength, she had no confidence in defeating Ling Dao. Unfortunately, now that Ling Dao had been bitten by the Icefire Green Spirit Snake, as long as nothing unexpected happened, Ling Dao was sure to die.

"What a vicious poison!"

In just a moment, Ling Dao felt half of his body burning like fire, while the other half felt as if it had turned to ice, with no sensation at all. The Icefire Green Spirit Snake's venom was deadly enough to kill a mid-stage True Qi Realm martial artist, let alone a late-stage one.

"Every True Qi Realm martial artist bitten by the leader's Icefire Green Spirit Snake has died. No matter how extraordinary this young man is, he will soon become a corpse!"

"No, he won't even leave a corpse. Half of his body will be burned to ashes, and the other half will turn into an ice sculpture and shatter into countless pieces!"

"With the leader dead, this beauty will belong to us, right? What do you think we should do with this beauty?"

The three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists all laughed. The death of the leader of the Poison Snake Gang only shocked them; they felt no sorrow. The leader of the Poison Snake Gang had not been kind to them, and they had followed him out of necessity.

Now, the death of the leader of the Poison Snake Gang not only did them no harm but also brought them great benefits. If the leader of the Poison Snake Gang were still alive, a beauty like Zhong Feifei would definitely not be for them to play with.

Moreover, now that they returned to the Poison Snake Gang, they could become the leaders themselves. Without the tyrannical leader of the Poison Snake Gang, their future days would be as blissful as those of immortals. Now, they should thank Ling Dao for killing the leader of the Poison Snake Gang.

"Miss, what should we do?"

Chunlan was extremely nervous. Without Ling Dao, it was clearly impossible for the two of them to deal with three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists. She and Zhong Feifei were only mid-stage True Qi Realm martial artists, and their combat power was not even as good as Ling Dao, a mid-stage True Qi Realm martial artist.

"Don't worry, if they don't know their place, I'll kill them!"

Zhong Feifei said coldly. Her status was not low; she was the daughter of the head of the Heavy Sword Sect. She had received excellent training from a young age. Even though her talent was not outstanding, with her mid-stage True Qi Realm cultivation, she still had confidence in facing three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists.

"Ha, quite a big mouth. Let's see how strong you are!"

The three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists laughed loudly when they heard Zhong Feifei's words and walked towards her. None of them paid attention to Ling Dao, who was doomed to die after being poisoned by the Icefire Green Spirit Snake.

"Clear Wind Sword!"

"Ice Cold Sword!"

"Mountain Peak Sword!"

The three of them came from different forces, but they had all followed the leader of the Poison Snake Gang in his evil deeds. In Anshan County, apart from the ninth-grade force Heavy Sword Sect, the tenth-grade forces Sky Splitting Sword Sect, Black Tortoise Sword Sect, and True Martial Sword Sect, there were many other sword sects, but they were too weak to be ranked.

A long sword, as light and swift as a breeze, stabbed towards Zhong Feifei. This late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist's sword technique was light and swift, and his sword was as fast as the wind.

The second long sword stabbed out forcefully, and the temperature around them seemed to drop. A cold aura rushed towards Zhong Feifei, as if trying to freeze the entire space. This late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist's sword technique was based on ice and cold.

The third long sword slammed down like a small mountain. This late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist's sword technique was somewhat similar to the Heavy Sword Sect's, but it was far less powerful.

"Heavy Sword Strike!"

Chunlan threw the large sword to Zhong Feifei, and she immediately struck out. The large sword in her hand was a low-grade sword, and in a direct confrontation, she had a significant advantage. Her sword swept out and collided with the other three long swords.

The sound of metal clashing echoed, and the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists' swords all had a notch. A fine steel sword could not compare to a low-grade sword, which was why Zhong Feifei was not afraid of them. In terms of weapons, Zhong Feifei was better, and in terms of sword techniques, she was also better. The only difference was in their cultivation levels.

"Do you really think I'm so easy to deal with? Since that's the case, I'll kill you myself!"

Facing the leader of the Poison Snake Gang, Zhong Feifei indeed had no confidence, but just three mid-stage True Qi Realm martial artists could not do anything to her. She raised her sword again and took the initiative to attack the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists, engaging in a fierce battle.

None of them noticed that the green on Ling Dao's neck was not spreading throughout his body but was gradually dissipating. The Icefire Green Spirit Snake was indeed venomous, but the Primal Chaos Extermination Technique could even refine the sword qi in Ling Dao's body. What was a little poison compared to that?
