Chapter 375: Saving Qing Shan Town – An Old Acquaintance, Mu She
Their conversation was brutally honest. Everyone knew that if the walls were breached, the consequences would be devastating.
For young women like Ling Er, their fate at the hands of these poison masters was unthinkable…
So, while their words were harsh, Ling Er understood what needed to be done. As for those women who refused to die, their choices were no longer within their control.
Mu She, the strongest warrior in Qing Shan Town, knew very well that without a powerful fighter capable of aerial combat, their chances of survival were slim.
If not for the high walls, originally built to defend against Magical Beast attacks, they would have already been slaughtered.
Mu She's face was grim as he sighed bitterly.
"All we can do now is hold on. Qing Shan Town is deep inside Jia Ma Empire's territory. If we hold out long enough, maybe the experts from Cai Lin's faction will come to our aid!"
Upon hearing this, the townspeople smiled bitterly.
They knew the truth Cai Lin's forces were already tied up, struggling against the three invading empires. There was no way anyone was coming to rescue them.
As they were discussing, a dozen figures suddenly emerged from the forest.
These were the poison masters.
At the front was an elder, wearing a robe embroidered with four venomous centipedes.
His narrow, sinister eyes scanned the town walls as a harsh, grating voice echoed through the air.
"You have one minute to decide will you open the gates yourselves, or shall I unleash my poison mist? If you surrender now, I can guarantee that the women inside… won't die. Hehehe~"
His words sent shivers through the crowd.
A commotion broke out atop the walls, and within the town, some desperate women were already pleading to open the gates…
They were willing to offer their bodies in exchange for survival.
This was the cruel reality of the Dou Qi Continent.
When faced with death, everyone would seek their own way to survive.
There was no ridicule, no mocking only silent acceptance of their fear.
Time ticked away quickly.
When the minute was up, the elder smirked.
"Did you really think this wall could protect you? Hah ridiculous."
His wrinkled, dry face twisted into a cruel grin as a strange green light surged across his skin.
With a wave of his sleeve, thick, rolling green poison mist surged forward visible to the naked eye.
Behind him, the other poison masters suddenly moved, channeling Dou Qi techniques to amplify the mist.
A violent wind howled, pushing the poison toward the town walls!
"No! Everyone, cover your bodies with Dou Qi! Whatever you do, don't breathe it in!"
Mu She's face twisted in horror as he roared his warning.
Ling Er smiled faintly, a trace of resignation in her eyes.
So this is it, huh?
She drew her longsword, preparing for the worst.
None of the other fighters not even Yan Cheng tried to stop her.
Because they had failed.
Because they were powerless.
"SCREW THIS! LET'S GO ALL OUT!"
With a furious war cry, the Blood Battle Mercenary Corps leaped from the walls, prepared to fight to the death!
Ling Er glanced back at her family one last time, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Without a moment of hesitation, she raised her sword to her own throat choosing to end her life before falling into the hands of the enemy.
As the blade began to descend
CLANG!
A crisp metallic sound echoed as her longsword shattered!
A brilliant crimson light suddenly filled the entire battlefield, blinding everyone's vision.
At that very moment, the poison mist in the air evaporated instantly.
A howling inferno erupted from the heavens, surging downward like a rampaging beast.
The flames engulfed the poison masters, burning them into nothingness within seconds.
By the time the mercenaries landed on the ground…
Their greatest nightmare the poison masters had completely vanished.
Not even ashes remained.
Not even a scream was heard.
Yan Cheng blinked in disbelief, rubbing his eyes.
"…Did they just die?"
"…Just like that?"
As the smoke cleared, everyone finally saw them
A group of stunningly beautiful women, standing in midair.
Each of them radiated elegance, each one peerless in appearance.
These weren't just dreamlike beauties they carried an aura of absolute power.
Were they goddesses?
No because goddesses wouldn't be hugging a man in midair.
Wait… that man…
He's…
HE'S THE MASTER OF CAI LIN'S FACTION!!!
Mu She's entire body trembled.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
That man… was the one who had killed his son!
He had long since given up on revenge, knowing that the killer was a protector of the Snake Tribe.
But now, face to face with him again, Mu She fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.
"Mu She thanks the Lord of Cai Lin's Faction and his esteemed wives for saving Qing Shan Town!"
"THANK YOU, LORD OF CAI LIN'S FACTION! THANK YOU, LADIES!"
The entire town followed, dropping to their knees in gratitude.
They had just been saved from certain death.
Wu Tian smirked slightly as he looked at his old acquaintance.
"I never expected you to reach Dou Ling."
"Given your talent, this is impressive. For your efforts in protecting Qing Shan Town, here take these pills."
With a flick of his hand, several jade bottles flew toward Mu She.
Mu She's hands trembled as he caught them.
He didn't even check what was inside if this Yan Zun was offering them, they had to be beyond precious.
"That's two Purple Heart Barrier Pills they can help a Da Dou Shi break through one star per pill."
"Each person can take two at most."
"And that's one Dou Ling Pill capable of helping a Dou Wang level fighter break through a star."
"But it can only be taken once in a lifetime."
Wu Tian casually explained, so that Mu She wouldn't misuse them.
Mu She was utterly stunned.
A Fourth Tier Pill… and even a Sixth Tier Pill?
This was insane!
With these pills, Qing Shan Town's strength would skyrocket.
More importantly no one would dare touch them.
Because these pills were given by Yan Zun himself.
If someone dared steal or threaten them, it would be a direct insult to Cai Lin's faction.
No one would dare risk it.
His hands shaking, Mu She bowed deeply.
"My Lord, these poison masters were from the Chu Yun Empire. Right now, they are waging war against Jia Ma Empire… And leading the invasion is none other than… the Poison Sect."
