As the sound faded, the entire space trembled, and countless black ghostly figures emerged from all around, emitting terrifying screams and roars.
These ghostly figures are all evil spirits transformed from the ordinary people poisoned by the Poison King. He imprisoned these souls in his own 'domain' and forcibly cultivated a batch of undead. These undead possess extremely strong lethality and toxicity. If Su Yang's strength hadn't exceeded his expectations, he wouldn't have wanted to use them at this time.
Of course, he hasn't finished using it yet!
Immediately afterward, while Su Yang's attention was still on those ghostly figures, the Poison King formed a hand seal again, cut a drop of blood from his thumb with his sharp teeth, and nearly a hundred burly figures emerged from beneath the earth, rising up backward as if demons had awakened!
This is the strongest demon army in his hands!
"Let me see how strong these test subjects are, these powerful souls from those sects!" The Poison King's smile was extremely eerie.
He pointed in Su Yang's direction and shouted, "All of you, charge!"
"Wow!!"
Suddenly, all the evil spirits let out chilling screams, and hundreds of black figures surged into Su Yang's black mist, forming a huge ball like a fat pig, from which came the howling of a hundred ghosts.
Just looking at it was enough to send chills down one's spine, and the sounds it emitted made the disciples of the Myriad Gu Sect feel even more terrified.
Only the Poison King felt a slight unease.
Theoretically speaking, even a supreme expert at the Saint level, fighting within his 'domain' and unleashing a large number of evil spirits and demons, could be torn to pieces in less than a minute, with his own captive demons gnawing away at him until only bones remain.
But now, three full minutes have passed, and there has been no violent movement whatsoever.
What happened inside?
boom!!
Just as the Poison King was pondering, the pitch-black mist suddenly exploded, scattering countless evil spirits. Moreover, in this dark 'domain' where many venomous liquids were boiling, Su Yang's entire body erupted with deep red sword intent, and the surrounding venomous liquids began to dissipate rapidly.
Sword intent takes form!
"How is this possible..."
Upon realizing this, the Poison King watched as his venom rained down like a torrential downpour. Within his 'domain,' any disciple of the Myriad Poison Sect who touched it would die instantly, while Su Yang remained unharmed and posed an immense threat to him.
We have to retreat!
The Poison King's mind flashed by. He couldn't fathom Su Yang's strength at all. He had never even heard of such a being. Even the evil spirits he had painstakingly cultivated had now turned into venom. His chances of winning were less than 30%!
Just as he was about to retreat, Su Yang appeared beside him without him noticing.
Did I give you permission to leave?
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword light arrived in quick succession!
The Poison King's pupils contracted, and he gathered all the poisonous gas around him into a pitch-black shield with both hands. However, this deep red sword light actually shattered his black shield. He crashed to the ground like a stone ball that had been thrown away, and forcefully broke the seal under the black tower!
At this moment, Su Yang swooped down, his Crimson Dragon Sword in hand arriving breathlessly, and behind him, another deep red sword shadow appeared, all pointing at the Poison King!
At this moment, there is no way to retreat!
Su Yang's sword tip touched the Poison King's neck, and the moment it touched him, blood stained with deadly poison began to seep out.
However, the bloodstains were only enough to barely clean some of the dirt off the Crimson Dragon Sword. Upon seeing this, the Poison King was extremely shocked!
Both Su Yang and this sword were extremely rare divine weapons in the world. To be defeated by such a person, he knew he had no choice but to accept his fate. But he couldn't understand why, since the most powerful forces in the world were all in Zhongzhou, he had never heard of such a young man.
At this moment, Su Yang slowly said, "Don't waste your energy. Open the seal yourself, and I will spare your life for now."
The Poison King smiled bitterly.
He knew he was in dire straits. Thousands of sword shadows were pointed at him from the sky; if he made the slightest move, he would likely be hacked to pieces. Moreover, with Su Yang's strength, breaking the seal beneath him would be no difficult task; it was only a matter of time.
Once he arrived here, he believed everything Su Yang had said before.
He really can't afford to offend Su Yang.
Left with no other choice, the Poison King had to compromise. He couldn't help but ask, "Your strength is so great, could it be... that you are a boundary cultivator of the State of Weixu?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yang smiled faintly: "The Realm Daoist? Even if he comes, I can kill him and show you."
The Poison King gasped.
Who is this person? He can even kill a Daoist from the Realm of Boundaries; this is completely beyond his common sense!
In their minds, the most powerful beings on the entire continent were none other than the Realm Daoists, and even stronger were the gods. But gods should never descend to the mortal realm, so why was Su Yang so strong?
Unfortunately, he dared not ask any more questions.
Too much talk leads to mistakes!
After the Poison King retrieved the 'Domain,' amidst the ruins, he unlocked the lowest layer of the seal, revealing two exquisite treasure chests placed on a large jade table. After the Poison King removed the layers of array marks and seals, the two Earth Spirit Hearts shimmered with golden light, dazzling brilliantly within the treasure chests.
With a casual wave of his hand, Su Yang took both Earth Spirit Hearts into his possession as if they were sentient, leaving even the Poison King stunned.
The Earth Spirit Heart is known as the heart of the earth and is almost unresponsive to anything. However, today, Su Yang simply waved his hand, and the Earth Spirit Heart flew towards him as if it had gained sentience.
It seems Su Yang really does have some tricks up his sleeve!
After absorbing the two Earth Spirit Hearts, Su Yang nodded silently, thinking to himself, "There are still three left."
Su Yang frowned and asked the Poison King, "Do you know who else in Zhongzhou possesses the Heart of the Earth Spirit?"
The Poison King's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly said, "There are two rumors circulating about the Emperor, and it seems that each of the four major families in the capital has one. As for the other scattered rumors, I'm not too sure."
Su Yang asked in surprise, "So many?"
The Poison King explained, "The Earth Spirit Heart is, after all, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, and it is generally not used unless one is on the verge of death. Moreover, even if it is used, it must be done through consultation with the various elders. Therefore, many families have never actually used the Earth Spirit Heart for thousands of years, but have passed it down as a family heirloom. As far as I know, only the Emperor has ever truly used the Earth Spirit Heart."
Su Yang roughly understood.
Items like the Earth Spirit Heart are primarily used to obtain longevity on the continent, and since they are inherently scarce, acquiring them requires countless negotiations. However, how could a large family or power not harbor ulterior motives? Over time, the Earth Spirit Heart naturally came to be passed down as a family heirloom.
Su Yang smiled faintly. In this way, he actually benefited.
Thinking of this, Su Yang looked at the Poison King, who shuddered.
He was terrified that Su Yang would turn on him.
Seeing his trembling appearance, Su Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I gave you two Earth Spirit Hearts, so I won't kill you for both reason and emotion. You have your methods, and I have my principles. Besides, I need you to do something for me."
The Poison King trembled.
It wasn't that simple after all!
