Chapter 87

Taking advantage of the chaos to escape might still allow him to avoid the sin of私自脱离宗门. Who knew whether he would live or die in this sudden attack.

The green flames were very strange; they could actually burn on the magical light, causing the spiritual essence maintaining the magical artifact to rapidly deplete.

The guy who had been quite aggressive earlier was now using all his innate true essence and the power of his magical robe to resist the green flames on his body. However, the flames burned even more fiercely under his resistance.

Furnace Essence Poison Flame! The Hundred Toxins Sect!

Chu He immediately identified the flames. When the Chu family was exterminated, these flames were the vanguard of the main culprit!

This discovery strengthened Chu He's resolve to escape: the Hundred Toxins Sect's poison techniques were terrifying, and making someone vanish into thin air was a trivial matter. Afterward, even if he disappeared, the sect would not suspect he had fled, but would assume he had perished.

Knowing that the flames on the magical shield were Furnace Essence Poison Flame, Chu He combined the eight flying armors into a magical shield, retracted the magical light, and allowed the green flames to seep in and burn on the shield.

Furnace Essence Poison Flame was a large-scale attack method of the Hundred Toxins Sect, capable of drawing on essence to burn and releasing toxic smoke with a similar effect to a hallucinogenic incense, making it extremely effective for sieging and conquering.

However, its weakness was also obvious: without essence to burn, it would extinguish in a very short time. Therefore, its main use was for the Hundred Toxins Sect to break through the enemy's protective magical arrays and create chaos.

By retracting the magical light on the shield, it could be quickly extinguished, and the toxic smoke would not be released in large quantities.

"Ah! Save me, Junior Brother Chu!" The talkative guy, seeing the green flames on his body growing more intense and his true essence gradually failing, had become a burning man and called out to Chu He nearby for help.

It had nothing to do with him, and the other party was not a good person either, so Chu He ignored him and, in response to his cries, had already flown away with the Flying Cloud Leap to dozens of feet away.

This time, the Flying Cloud Leap he used was of superior quality, faster than the medium-grade version by several degrees. Given the situation, Chu He had no reason to hold back and use his best resources; the slightest delay could mean death.

Actually, there was a faster flying sword in his storage ring, but Chu He was focused on alchemy and cultivation, and he did not have a suitable sword technique, so he had put it aside and never had the time to refine and familiarize himself with it. In this situation, it was better to use the Flying Cloud Leap.

Although it was somewhat chaotic outside, the guards and senior disciples protecting the area knew the nature of the Furnace Essence Poison Flame and had not suffered any significant damage. Instead, the newly arrived disciples, like Chu He, suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, several talisman towers rose high, continuously shooting out sword talismans and fireballs from various parts of the towers, flying outward. Wherever the sword talismans and fireballs landed, cries of agony could be heard.

Seeing this, Chu He felt a sense of unease: even random shots could hit, indicating that the enemy was numerous!

However, the Furnace Essence Poison Flame was just the appetizer; the black arrows that followed like rain were the real threat.

The black arrows, made of unknown materials, exploded in mid-air upon entering, turning into black raindrops.

The black raindrops were extremely corrosive. Chu He saw an eighth-layer Qi Cultivation disciple and his magical artifact quickly dissolve into a puddle of foul water.

Fortunately, the rotating Eight-Armor Shield above his head could still勉强 resist the black rain. This tyrannical black rain required a superior-grade magical artifact to defend against, but the magical light on the shield sizzled like boiling oil, accelerating the consumption of Chu He's spiritual essence. If this continued, the situation would not be optimistic.

The guards, who were responsible for protecting the alchemists, quickly formed a protective formation around Chu He and the other alchemists, retreating to the rear.

These guards seemed to have a plan for the black rain, each holding a gray umbrella. When the black rain fell on the umbrellas, it was absorbed by a black bead at the tip.

As they hurried along, the guards also distributed detoxification pills to everyone, urging them to take them quickly.

After taking only a few steps, a light green mist rose from the ground, enveloping hundreds of feet in a hazy mist.

Suddenly, a sweet scent entered his nose, causing Chu He to feel dizzy and weak in his limbs.

What a powerful poison mist! Even after taking the detoxification pills, it was still ineffective. Some with weaker cultivation had already fallen, and even some guards began to stagger.

The leader of the guards exclaimed, "What kind of poison is this? Even the Purification Pills can't suppress it."

Purification Pills were seventh-grade detoxification drugs, generally quite effective against most toxins. Even if they couldn't completely suppress the toxins, they could significantly alleviate their effects. It was surprising that they could cause such a rapid weakening of strength and combat ability.

In fact, he did not know that the Hundred Toxins Sect had spared no expense in this attack, mixing a significant amount of Green Miasma Essence into the black rain. Covering nearly a thousand feet would likely cost hundreds of superior-grade spirit stones.

When the black rain fell on the Furnace Essence Poison Flame, the Green Miasma Essence, after being burned by the Furnace Essence Poison Flame, produced Green Luo Smoke.

Although Green Luo Smoke was not deadly, it had extremely strong permeability. Even those with innate true essence, if their cultivation was weak, could still be paralyzed by it. The guards who were staggering were all lower-stage innate realm cultivators, which was why they had been affected.

"Switch to fetal breathing and head to the mountain waist to the north!" the leader of the guards shouted. Originally, he had planned to take everyone to the two talisman towers at the rear, relying on the towers' advantages to temporarily protect themselves and wait for rescue. However, seeing the power of the Green Luo Smoke, he immediately changed his mind.

The mountain waist was the site of the blue crystal mine, with much stricter security than the alchemy area. Additionally, there was a True Person stationed there. As long as these alchemists, who had little combat ability, were sent there, the two True Persons could work together to stabilize the situation.

"Boom!" Continuous explosions echoed from behind, strong light easily tearing through the Green Luo Smoke, and the ground trembled.

Such a commotion clearly indicated that True Person realm experts were clashing.

Chu He did not care who was covering the rear; he activated the Flying Cloud Leap and sped forward, simultaneously activating the Purification Fire within his body to consume the Green Luo Smoke that had seeped in.

Unafraid of the Green Luo Smoke, Chu He forcefully mobilized all his spiritual essence to break through, taking the lead and leaving everyone far behind.

"Damn, he runs faster than a monkey!" the leader of the guards cursed, but he did not dare to delay, releasing a flying boat to pick up everyone.

"Ha ha, why run? Come and fight to your heart's content!" Several figures chased from behind, raising their hands to shoot colorful beams, leaving no chance for him to control the flying boat.

However, not only did the Qingling Mountain disciples who were left behind encounter the enemy, but even Chu He, who had taken the lead, was intercepted by two Hundred Toxins Sect disciples.
