Chapter 522 Attacking the Red Malachite Ridge 29
Countless toads scattered in all directions, and many more fell directly into the deep valley that had been created.
However, the surging sword energy spread in all directions, much faster than those toads, and soon blocked all the surrounding roads.
Wherever the blade's energy passed, countless toads were reduced to blood and flesh fragments.
But this is not the end.
Surrounding them surged the overwhelming power of Pei Xiaoling.
Within the area encompassed by the power of heaven and earth, no corner could escape Pei Xiaoling's notice.
At the same time, Pei Xiaoling unleashed his soul power to its maximum extent, and the area where his soul power was located was also Pei Xiaoling's domain, which was crystal clear to him.
The floating clouds over Jizhan began to disperse, turning into wisps of cloud that spread rapidly—yes, just as fast as the toads.
Countless fine blades swept and pierced down into the valley.
Some of the blades were so fine they were like hairs—even finer than hairs—that they pierced into the bodies of those toads.
But simply killing the toad is not enough.
Tongtian's power is far more than just that.
Moreover, Tongtian should have originally had another clone.
However, that clone should have already perished in place of him.
The giant toad itself must have died twice amidst the overwhelming barrage of cannon fire and flashing blades—but the methods of evil are always numerous, and neither Ji Pei nor the other could be completely certain.
Their thorough search might stem from a concern that the giant toad might use its impressive moves as cover, allowing its true form to infiltrate the smaller toads and hide after its clones have perished.
If Tongtian wanted to hide, given the cunning of the Poison Toad Ancestor, he might even have the ability to fake his own death.
There's also the symbiotic treasure of the Poison Toad Ancestor that underwent a mutation... the Poison Toad Beast Soul...
Perhaps they weren't wiped out by swords and cannons, or perhaps they hid away.
In any case, we cannot give this poisonous toad even the slightest hope.
Therefore, not only must all the little toads die, but they must all be completely wiped out.
Not a single drop of blood can be left.
·
The blade flashed for several hours, and every toad was annihilated without a trace, leaving not a single remains.
Then came a barrage of artillery fire, which swept across the entire Red Mist Mountain Range, every inch of land shrouded in mist, as if it had been "washed" several times.
The deep valley was completely filled with artillery fire.
At the same time, the chilling blade energy swept back and forth within, filling the entire deep valley with soaring blade light, clustered together like unfolding silver flowers, incomparably beautiful.
The crimson glow of cannon fire and the dazzling glint of swords complemented each other, revealing an indescribable beauty.
A dangerously beautiful scene.
And so it went, over and over again…
The process is incredibly simple and very repetitive.
·
In the ancient city.
Zhong Cai watched this scene with amazement in her eyes.
It seems the Poison Toad Ancestor is truly dead.
This area has been plowed so thoroughly that there isn't a single gap left for the poisonous toads to survive.
Even if the poisonous toad tried to burrow into the ground, it couldn't.
After all, the power of heaven and earth was too overwhelming; during the battle to reach the heavens, it crushed everything in its path and mended every crack...
There are no gaps, so that not even a tiny bit of blood can seep in.
Therefore, the ancestor of poisonous toads truly had no way out.
No doubt about it.
When Zhong Cai realized this, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
This battle has really dragged on for far too long.
In terms of time, it's only been a little over a year, but most of the time it's been mentally exhausting.
Every minute and every second, countless people are thrown into the battlefield, and countless others are wounded and return home.
Aside from those who never left, everyone has many lives on their hands.
...After all, those who didn't take a life wouldn't have lived to this point.
However, Zhong Cai still felt very emotional.
In both his past and present lives, he had never witnessed such a terrifying battle.
It's not that he hasn't participated in large-scale battles—he has lived in this world for many years, personally participated in the beast tide war, and witnessed countless cultivators enter the battlefield.
However, none of that can compare to this time.
This time, the scale is truly massive.
In addition, the cultivators who participated in the battle were all quite powerful.
And then there was the long-lasting Battle of Tongtian.
Another master of extraordinary abilities perished at this moment.
Zhong Cai rubbed her temples, recalling her contributions in the battle, and subconsciously looked at her palms.
Improvement in alchemy skills is certain.
He saved so many people, and while treating them, his alchemy skills improved every moment.
However, he was too busy during this period to check the Sky Ranking.
I wonder what his current ranking is?
Wu Shaogan seemed to sense Zhong Cai's thoughts and raised his hand to rub his head.
Zhong Cai turned her head to look at him and chatted with him privately.
[Old Wu?]
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly.
Is A-Cai thinking about the Heavenly Ranking?
Zhong Cai's eyebrows immediately lit up.
Old Wu understands me best!
He sighed softly again.
[I hadn't seen it before, but now I'm quite curious.]
Wu Shaogan's smile deepened.
I've seen it.
Zhong Cai was taken aback.
【ah? 】
[Old Wu, when did you watch it?]
Wu Shaogan's eyes were very gentle.
I knew you'd be curious, so I watched it every time.
Ever since Zhong Cai started treating people's poisons, clearly improving her alchemy skills, he knew that his Ah Cai would eventually remember him.
By then, he will need to be able to answer Acai's questions.
Wu Shaogan smiled again.
[Acai is now in second place.]
Zhong Cai's pupils suddenly contracted.
[Me? Second?]
That's way too fast!
This is no low-level skill; it allows alchemy techniques to catch up quickly.
He's a seventh-level Pill King!
The rankings are extremely difficult to climb!
Wu Shaogan shook Zhong Cai's hand, his smile widening, clearly in a very good mood.
[A-Cai manages to climb a little bit every month, which is quite impressive.]
I believe that A-Cai's abilities in detoxification and resolving difficult and complex illnesses have surpassed all the alchemists on the seventh-level Sky Ranking. The reason she isn't ranked first is probably because the current top-ranked alchemist has a slight edge in other areas, such as resources and the production of high-difficulty elixirs.
With A-Cai's abilities, it won't be long before she surpasses that person and reaches the top of the list as well.
Zhong Cai was quite confident in himself; it was just that he was a little stunned when he suddenly learned of this news.
Now that Wu Shaogan has praised him like this, he's become smug again!
Zhong Cai revealed a serious expression.
[The top spot is definitely not easy to surpass, but hasn't the sect leader given me a task now?]
I think if I can complete this task, I'll definitely be at the top!
Wu Shaogan's eyes were filled with encouragement.
I believe A-Cai can do it!
Zhong Cai became even more confident.

Let's talk about the battlefield.
The two powerful figures, having thoroughly ravaged the battlefield, finally gave up.
In the ancient city, on those level-nine flying magical artifacts, all the cultivators were very quiet.
They have remained silent for quite some time.
Some were too shocked to speak, while others communicated through telepathic communication.
No one disturbed the peace.
All the onlookers understood that the Poison Toad Ancestor must be dead.
However, they still need to wait for those two celestial beings to give them the final answer.
·
Pei Xiaoling slowly withdrew his hand.
Because everyone's attention had been drawn to the dazzling sword light, they only noticed now that Pei Xiaoling was enveloped in a very dense aura of blood, and even his eyes were scarlet.
Those cultivators at the highest level, hidden in the shadows, could see everything clearly and didn't see anything wrong with it.
Some of them had even witnessed Pei Xiaoling's fighting skills and knew that he always looked like this after a fierce battle.
However, some of those with relatively lower combat strength were secretly apprehensive about the aura that Pei Xiaoling was displaying.
Those with higher combat skills also believe that if Pei Xiaoling undergoes several more tribulations and continues to hone his combat skills, he will definitely become a top expert in the Tongtian realm in the future.
To many onlookers and cultivators whose cultivation levels were insufficient, Pei Xiaoling appeared somewhat frightening.
The momentum was too violent!
Extremely scary!
However, they also knew perfectly well that no matter how arrogant and terrifying Pei Xiaoling was, he could control himself as long as Ji Zhan was safe.
Just like now...
As if a slight blur appeared before everyone's eyes, a figure appeared in mid-air.
She was stunningly beautiful and had an outstanding demeanor.
That was Ji Zhan!
As everyone else knows, Pei Xiaoling originally looked ferocious wielding a black knife, but when he saw Ji Zhan, the seemingly invisible black aura and the lingering thick blood aura quickly dissipated.
Just as ice and snow melted away rapidly, Pei Xiaoling's gentle smiling face was immediately revealed.
Ji Zhan slightly extended his hand.
Pei Xiaoling grasped his hand.
Then, Pei Xiaoling slightly raised his eyes.
At this moment, he has completely returned to his usual self, making him seem very approachable.
Pei Xiaoling said in a deep voice, "The poisonous toad is dead. This campaign has come to a successful conclusion."
Although Ji Zhan did not speak, he nodded slightly.
These two powerful figures have definitively given the outcome of this great battle.
They have triumphed for the righteous path!
Upon hearing this, many cultivators, even those who already understood, couldn't help but reveal expressions of ecstatic joy.
finally!
They wiped out the monstrous Poison Toad Ancestor!
This is an extremely rare victory for the righteous path!
Although all evil paths deserve to die, they are now... quite satisfied.
At this moment, many cultivators thought of their own battle achievements.
They should be able to get a lot.
If they survive this battle, they will definitely be able to make good progress in a short period of time.
That's already very good.
·
In the ancient city.
Zhong Cai is sensing it.
When the sect leader left earlier, he replenished his ancient city with a large amount of energy.
His ancient city now has all its cannons capable of firing at least ten shots in a row.
Zhong Cai understood that this was probably the sect leader's reward for using the ancient city.
