Chapter 50: Thunder in the Wilderness 2



Everyone in the hall exclaimed in unison. The managers of the thirty-two wealthy families, the bachelors and doctors from a dozen academies, and the leading figures of the most powerful families in the three states all stood up and looked at Zhou Liuyun in astonishment.

Are you drunk?

Not like?

Zhou Liuyun's face wasn't even red, and there wasn't even a smell of alcohol on his body. He just fell to the ground so suddenly.

He widened his eyes in horror, his clear eyes showed that he was not drunk, and his mind was still clear. Only Zhou Liuyun himself knew that every tiny muscle in his body became loose and weak, and all the tendons in his bones and joints became soft and limp. He was completely unable to control his body, and even couldn't blink.

He was like being in the deepest nightmare, conscious but unable to move. He couldn't even mobilize the martial essence in his body or the magic power in the spiritual orifice between his eyebrows.

"Master Zhou!" Several academy disciples shouted in panic and rushed forward to help Zhou Liuyun up.

It would have been fine if they didn't move, but as soon as they moved, their bodies suddenly sank down, as if all the bones had been pulled out, and they fell to the ground with a "thump thump". They fell on their faces, their buttocks raised high, their arms and legs twisted in extremely strange ways, like a pile of dead meat piled heavily on the ground without any sound.

"What's wrong?" Xun Yu jumped up in fright.

Just after jumping up, Xun Yu's body swayed and he fell to the ground with a thud. He also fell down crookedly, his eyes wide open in fear, unable to move at all, and he didn't even have the strength to blink.

The hall suddenly became dead silent.

The breathing of hundreds of managers from the thirty-two wealthy families in Dajin suddenly became much heavier. They took out detoxifying spiritual objects such as thousand-year-old rhinoceros horns, ten-thousand-year-old tiger teeth, deep-sea mermaid pearls, and sea-eye white corals and stuffed them into their mouths as quickly as possible.

After all, they were born into wealthy families and were well-informed. The managers of the thirty-two wealthy families reacted extremely quickly. It was possible that they had been poisoned.

"Poison?" It was not until the stewards of these wealthy families had put various detoxifying spiritual objects in their mouths that the representatives of the wealthy families in the three states reacted. They carried various detoxifying drugs or spiritual objects that could ward off poison with them. They hurriedly took out the drugs and swallowed them, or put the spiritual objects that could ward off poison in their mouths.

The sound of "bang bang" continued to be heard, and one person after another fell to the ground in a mess.

Chu Tian stood up, looked coldly at the people falling around him, and quickly looked towards Lu Gu.

Green Girl's hat shook slightly, her body swayed slightly, and she fell to the ground tremblingly without eating the fish sashimi.

Chu Tian mumbled vaguely, and also imitated Lu Gu, falling backwards with his arms and legs spread out. Li Zheng and Zhao Xing, holding the detoxifying spiritual objects in their mouths, fell before Chu Tian.

People in the hall fell silently one after another, and everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at the people falling around them in horror. This scene was terrifying, it seemed that everyone was really poisoned, and the terrifying thing was that they didn't know where the poison came from.

In the main hall on the first floor of the Meixue Spiritual Building, the most distinguished and powerful family figures from Jizhou, Minzhou and Mangzhou gathered. They were feasting in the building, and no matter whether it was tea, wine, or fish sashimi, they all went through rounds of inspection before being delivered to their seats.

Where did this poison come from?

Chu Jie stared with his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the people falling around him. In the middle of the jade belt around his waist, a piece of azure jade the size of a baby's fist suddenly flashed with a faint light. He punched the jade and shouted hoarsely, "Someone, come and quickly protect me back!"

Heavy footsteps were heard, and large groups of Chu's private soldiers wearing heavy armor rushed through the square in front of the Meixue Spiritual Building.

In the huge square, tens of thousands of guests and college students fell down one after another, silently. All of them fell down as heavily as chopped tree stumps, and lay all over the ground like corpses.

The Chu family's guards strode towards the main hall on the first floor. They ignored the guests and academy students who fell to the ground along the way, and trampled on them roughly with their big feet in combat boots, like a group of wild bulls rushing to the front of the hall.

"Break!" A clear and sweet shout suddenly came from above the Mei Xue Spirit Building.

Countless figures suddenly rushed out from all directions at the edge of the square around the Meixue Spirit Building. These people held powerful crossbows, and the crossbow strings formed by black light were jumping violently. Special alloy crossbow arrows made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, making dense and rain-like explosion sounds, tearing through the air and shooting at the thousands of Chu guards in the square.

Dragon-killing crossbows. All of these people used specially made dragon-killing crossbows.

However, the dragon-killing crossbow they used was more powerful than the one Chu Tian used to kill Li Xiaoling and others a few days ago. The arrows were more powerful, had stronger penetration, and had a longer range. Its power was at least three times that of the dragon-killing crossbow used by Chu Tian!

"Ancient Qin Crossbow Formation!" A faint blue light was emanating from Chu Jie's body. Surrounded by this blue light, he staggered a dozen steps towards the exit of the hall with difficulty, just in time to see the overwhelming arrows covering his private army guards.

His face suddenly became fierce and ferocious, and he roared: "Ancient Qin... remnants!"

Countless arrows whizzed past the Chu family's private army as it was galloping. A gray cold mist suddenly rose up around Chu Tietu and other private army leaders, and a large number of white snowflakes fell from the sky. They drew their weapons and swung them rapidly, and a dense rain of light enveloped thousands of private soldiers.

There were continuous loud "clang clang" sounds as waves of crossbow arrows attacked, each of which was smashed to pieces by Chu Tietu and others.

Suddenly, several figures flashed, and Chu Tietu, with several Chu clan generals, rushed to Chu Jie and surrounded him.

"Little bastard of the Chu family, since you are here today, don't even think about leaving, right?"

A hoarse and old voice came from the edge of the square, and a white-haired old man with long hair, wearing a black robe, with a huge black dragon head embedded on his left shoulder and black mist all around him suddenly appeared.

The old man laughed strangely, and he held a black crystal ball the size of a human head tightly in his hands. Suddenly, there was a loud thunder, and a lightning as thick as a baby's arm spurted out from between the old man's hands, and smashed towards Chu Tietu who was protecting Chu Jie with great force.

The lightning was so fast that Chu Tietu was unable to avoid the attack. In order to protect Chu Jie behind him, he also couldn't avoid it.

With a cry of pain, the lightning hit Chu Tietu. A thick layer of cold air rose from his armor. The lightning exploded, and the cold air suddenly collapsed. The lightning, which had shrunk by half in size, hit his armor solidly. His left shoulder armor exploded, and a dazzling red light returned from the damaged part of the armor, with faint signs of melting at the edge.

Tiny flashes of lightning kept jumping on Chu Tietu's body. His body swayed and he staggered back a few steps, almost knocking Chu Jie to the ground.
