Chapter 92 "Come over here!"

Chapter 92 "Come over here!"

Whoosh—

That was a very faint swooshing sound...

The toxic arrows gracefully drifted through the air, quietly aiming at the rear of the enemy immortals.

There was no surge of immortal energy, no sharpness;

Just an inevitable disturbance in the air, albeit slight.

To prevent the enemy immortals from sensing them, these arrows weren't aimed at any individual but deliberately targeted the gaps between the peripheral figures...

Li Changshou chose his timing with precision.

In the rear of the two battlefields, the forty arrows smoothly reached their designated height;

At the tips of the toxic arrows, those half-foot-long cylinders split open simultaneously, releasing colorless and odorless toxic powder and mist into the air...

Puff, crackle...

Like colorless fireworks quietly blooming in the clear sky.

At various points on the outer edge of the enemy formation, more than twenty true immortals hadn't even turned around when suddenly, their vision darkened, and they fell towards the ground...

A gentle breeze dispersed the deadly toxins, and shadows continued to fall like dumplings.

The blood mosquito puppets were genuinely afraid of the poison this time.

Their reaction was swift; as soon as a celestial puppet in their ranks noticed something amiss, they immediately shouted:

"Stir up your mana!

Someone is poisoning us from behind!"

Immediately, the enemy's immortals, demons, and spirits stirred up their energies, dispersing the incoming toxic mist and powder from behind!

But before that, over fifty true immortals had been poisoned to death...

And over a hundred figures had been more or less contaminated, struggling to resist the effects of the poison, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.

The blood mosquito puppets immediately began searching for the perpetrators of this sneak attack.

At this moment, the immortals of the Degree Immortal Sect were somewhat bewildered, not knowing where these "reinforcements" had come from.

But they were pinned down near the Cloud Paths surrounding the Peak of Shattered Heaven, and these two groups of powerful enemies were still very fierce, making it difficult to respond to reinforcements...

The key point was that the immortals of the Degree Immortal Sect...

Hadn't detected any traces of reinforcements at all!

The effectiveness of the toxic arrow assault wasn't perfect, and Li Changshou didn't feel excited or regretful; he was just quietly reflecting on the shortcomings of his self-made magical weapons.

This all-encompassing, indiscriminate poisoning method was still inferior to silently delivering poison powder around the opponent's primordial spirits using immortal energy...

Overall, it wasted more than half of the toxicity of the poison pills.

To prevent these toxic mists from accidentally harming fellow sect members later, Li Changshou used two kinds of celestial toxins that were relatively difficult to refine and had a "time-limited effect" in the toxic arrows.

After a short while, the remaining toxicity in the air would dissipate...

Although the idea of these arrows was not bad, they were too easily countered, and their effectiveness was not as good as using the same amount of poison in a poison formation.

Li Changshou quickly summarized the situation and noticed a slight change in the battle.

The blood mosquito puppets quickly determined the direction from which the toxic arrows were shot and retaliated swiftly and fiercely!

On the south and north sides of the Peak of Shattered Heaven, several figures detached from the main battle and rushed towards the hiding places of the paper celestial soldiers;

They wielded their treasures, condensed their magical powers, and attacked the two forests indiscriminately!

In the darkness, Li Changshou's lips curled into a mysterious smile...

The forty paper soldiers didn't retreat and hide!

As these thirty-odd true immortal puppets swooped down on the two forests, three paper soldiers each emerged from the side of the forests, actively diverting the attention of the enemy.

However, before these six figures revealed themselves, they were shattered by the incoming lights from behind...

Right at this moment! T

he remaining thirty-four paper soldiers charged out of their hiding places!

They exuded an aura, moved swiftly and stealthily, and headed straight for these puppets...

These two groups of puppets that counterattacked were quick to strike, but in their haste, half of them were overwhelmed by the paper celestial soldiers!

Without any hesitation, these paper soldiers detonated themselves!

A total of about ten figures, in the skies above the forests on the south and north sides, exploded in an instant!

The scene was quite "fierce," and the immortals of the Degree Immortal Sect were furious, but they couldn't understand what these unexpected reinforcements were doing...

However, after the explosions...

The more than thirty enemy immortals who had charged towards the forests were all unharmed, each feeling a bit dazed, not knowing what they had just experienced...

The power of the explosions was quite weak.

Even though these people, demons, and spirits were controlled by the blood mosquitoes, leaving only a small portion of their "true selves," they still experienced quite a bit of emotional turmoil in that short moment.

At first, when they suddenly saw the colorless toxic mist behind them, they were considered lucky to escape death;

[Some relief]

Then they received orders to counterattack in the direction of the toxic arrows, and when they found a few fleeing figures, they attacked and killed them directly, without much effort.

[Relatively calm]

The situation changed suddenly when these six figures only diverted their attention; suddenly, celestial soldiers emerged from the forests below, vigorously attacking them!

[Slightly nervous]

Unexpectedly, these attacking celestial soldiers were very "fragile"; they died with just one poke or a hit.

[Why is that?]

But the enemy had a hidden agenda; even though they had concealed themselves earlier, they were still rushed by half of the enemy's figures near them, who then detonated themselves!

[Scared half to death]

Ridiculously, the explosions from these guys had little power, just making noise, not even as effective as being hit by an ordinary magic treasure by a primordial immortal...

[Why is that again?]

Suddenly!

The vision of these more than thirty enemy immortals darkened, their primordial spirits first experienced intense pain, then lost all connection with the outside world, and their immortal energy dissipated, causing them to fall in an orderly manner into a headfirst dive...

Before their deaths, they finally realized...

[This explosion is toxic]

Up in the woods, all them thirty-something figures just dropped down at once.

In the dark, old Li Changshou raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit puzzled.

"How come there ain't many celestials coming down?"

Controlling them four paper dolls to keep hiding underground, Li Changshou could pretty much guess what was going on with both sides of the fight.

Them folks from the Degree Immortal Sect would be scratching their heads, while them mosquito puppets were probably getting even crazier...

Overall, that first sneak attack worked out pretty well, easing up the pressure on our side and knocking the wind out of their sails.

Right now, them four paper dolls under Pothole Peak couldn't make a move, so Li Changshou shifted his focus to "Sky Eight," briefly checking on the Little Qiongfeng Formation's condition; then he checked out the big fight happening up in the sky.

After Elder Qilin turned into his real form, he started fighting even harder, keeping a high-ranking golden immortal from the other side pinned down solid.

As for the head honcho of the Degree Immortal Sect...

Well, they were a bit thin on the ground, but they still managed to hold off them two golden immortals.

"Looks like this'll go on for a bit."

Li Changshou quickly went back to them four paper dolls, getting ready for the next set of tricks.

The first wave of ambushes had already ended; now it was time for round two...

Light the fire, invite the guests, and catch them turtles in the pot!

And the time to strike was coming real soon. ...

"Just a measly Degree Immortal Sect, why ain't they been dealt with yet?"

In a secluded cave near Mount Spirit, in the Western Teachings' Ling Mountain area in Xiniuhezhou, Taoist Wenjing lay on a couch wearing a light blue gown...

Two handmaidens sat by her side, one fanning her and the other holding a cup of blood-red celestial wine, waiting for the "master" to pick up the jade cup.

At that moment, Taoist Wenjing was secretly observing the "big" battle of the Degree Immortal Sect with her blood mosquitoes.

She was just watching the show.

As long as she didn't make a move, staying right here, nobody would know what she was up to except the three great saints themselves, who could investigate and figure it out.

And the two saints from the Western Teachings had already personally blinded the heavenly mechanism for her.

At this point in time, there weren't many folks in the world who knew what she was up to; even if them blood mosquitoes were exposed, they'd just be seen as some sort of magical skill.

Taoist Wenjing knew very well in her heart that she was a hidden blade in the dark, and if her cover was blown, she'd lose most of her value.

At this moment, she had to keep an eye on the Degree Immortal Sect's big fight. If anything unexpected happened, like if someone from the Human Sect suddenly sent some top-notch folks to help the Degree Immortal Sect, then she'd directly crush the souls of them three golden immortals and offer up their bodies as a gift to the Sect of Severance...

"This kind of scheming is much more interesting than all that fighting and killing."

A somewhat coquettish smile appeared on Taoist Wenjing's lips, but the two demon handmaidens beside her just kept their heads down, not daring to take a peek.

Taoist Wenjing began watching the show when them five golden immortals started fighting; and her attention had always been drawn to fights at the level of golden and celestial immortals.

For her, fights among true immortals were no different from those of nascent immortals, boring and monotonous, and very dull.

It was the golden immortal fights that were somewhat interesting, especially the rare beast from the ancient times—the auspicious beast Qilin—that made Taoist Wenjing's mouth water.

When Li Changshou secretly launched the first wave of ambushes with them paper dolls, killing over eighty true immortals and injuring over a hundred, the situation on both sides shifted somewhat.

The balance of power was temporarily stabilized.

"Huh? What's going on down there?"

Taoist Wenjing glanced at the area near Pothole Peak, a look of disdain forming on her lips.

Them makeshift puppets they gathered up ain't worth nothing, getting turned around by the other side so quickly!

Forget it, looks like the Degree Immortal Sect ain't gonna be wiped out today...

Keep dragging this out, and the blood lotus power inside them three pseudo-golden immortals' bodies will run out.

"Hmph, if my own boys made a move, that puny Degree Immortal Sect would've been wiped off the map in no time..."

Oh right, where'd them Degree Immortal Sect's disciples run off to?

Taoist Wenjing was a bit puzzled, observing for a bit, and soon let out a cold laugh.

There was a residual spiritual energy fluctuation in the underground, seems like... a geomagnetic shift array?

Escaping to the east?

With tricks like these, they still think they can fool Her Majesty?

[Since I can't wipe out your whole sect directly, wiping out your sect's disciples ain't a bad idea either...]

The scene afterward is gonna be quite interesting.

Even though actively controlling and contacting these puppets now might risk exposing herself;

Taoist Wenjing felt a slight thrill in her heart and decided to take a little risk.

...

At the Gate of Ascension, near the Shattered Sky Peak, it's a battleground of countless celestial beings.

A touch of Dao rhyme quietly descended, landing on a blood mosquito puppet in the Celestial Realm, born of the human race, then swiftly withdrawn.

The elderly celestial Daoist trembled slightly, withdrawing from the fray, summoning a true celestial Peng bird, and crouching on its back.

To better carry out the orders just given by the 'master,' the elderly celestial Daoist instructed the Peng bird to dash north first, then, after flying a sufficient distance, turn east...

Bird-type Yao cultivators are skilled flyers, and this Peng bird has some Golden Peng bloodline and innate supernatural powers.

At this moment, the Peng bird dashed with all its might, disappearing in a flash...

Several elder celestial beings of the Gate of Ascension noticed this and speculated that the elderly celestial Daoist and the Peng Yao might be causing trouble to the east.

They communicated silently, feeling extremely anxious;

But at this moment, they were surrounded near the Shattered Sky Peak. Not to mention breaking through the siege to rush to the east for rescue, just looking at the speed of that Peng Yao, they couldn't catch up at all!

A supreme elder withdrew from the battle, took out several transmission jade symbols, and urgently contacted several outer elder brothers who were already 16,000 miles to the east, asking them to quickly hide with their disciples.

That's all they could do...

In fact, these elders of the Gate of Ascension underestimated two things.

First, they didn't expect the other side to be so ruthless.

The great battle here has not yet ended, and they are going directly to cause trouble for those disciples who have not yet become celestial beings!

Second...

How did the other side discover the hidden earth pulse shifting array?

However, this small detail that the elders of the Gate of Ascension miscalculated...

A certain disciple had anticipated it before the battle.

The three words 'Mosquito Daoist' left too cruel an impression on Li Changshou, and his vigilance was already at its peak from the beginning...

As soon as the elderly celestial Daoist and the Peng Yao made a move, Li Changshou captured their movements.

He muttered 'trouble' in his heart, but didn't feel nervous at all.

This was not because Li Changshou didn't care much about his junior sister and master, but because he had long prepared countermeasures, let alone one celestial being in the past, even ten in the past...

Ah, that number is too much.

Even if it's three or four celestial beings from the past, it's not a big deal!

"The time is almost right...

Start the second wave of battle!"

At this moment, Li Changshou had to focus part of his attention on the paper Daoist, Number Three, by Ling'e's side, and start preparing for the upcoming battle.

He could only let the paper Daoist, Number Two, lurk underground, while the other three paper Daoists emerged again in the valley outside the Shattered Sky Peak...

This time, no paper army was released;

The three figures transformed by the paper Daoists flew straight into the sky!

Two men and one woman appeared on the north and south sides, actively revealing their cultivation bases, all in the later stage of the True Immortal Realm!

This was the highest level of simulation that Li Changshou could achieve with the paper Daoists at this moment. - The paper Daoists themselves only carried immortal power, and the storage of immortal power had a certain limit.

Then, these three figures operated their immortal power and shouted loudly!

Looking northward,

A young Taoist with a long sword on his back shouted:

"We were passing through this area and saw a group of demons attacking the mountain! How audacious! Fellow practitioners of the Du Xian Gate, my sibling and I are here to lend you a hand!"

Full of righteousness and vigor!

Following that, the female Taoist beside him, holding a jade flute, also shouted: "Under the bright sky, we eliminate demons and protect humanity! Fellow practitioners of the Du Xian Gate, you don't need to worry about us. We won't launch a strong attack. We'll first distract some of the demons for you!"

The words spoken were very reasonable, immediately calming the minds of the Du Xian Gate practitioners, who felt quite grateful to these two unfamiliar Taoist friends who happened to pass by.

Although many immortals felt...

Their appearance was somewhat strange...

Compared to the two paper Taoists in the north, the one on the south, a somewhat rough-looking strong man, stood out more;

This paper Taoist carried a large axe and, separated by ten miles from the battlefield, shouted:

"Damn it! A bunch of demon monsters! Have the guts to face me directly! I'll curse your demon ancestors!"

Immediately, the blood mosquito puppets besieging the Broken Sky Peak reacted! From the north, more than ten shadows rushed toward the Taoists.

The paper Taoist with the sword on his back laughed heartily, and the two of them quickly retreated, casting several spells condensed from immortal power, and advanced to meet the attack.

On the south side... it was intense...

More than twenty big demons turned around and charged at the strong man.

At the forefront, there were even two late-stage celestial demons!

The paper Taoist strong man trembled, carrying the large axe, turned and flew away, secretly displaying the Wind Escape technique, heading straight towards the direction of the Little Qiong Peak.

In order to attract the attention of these people, Li Changshou, through the mouth of the paper Taoist strong man, issued a "swearing decree" for the first time.

The strong man kept cursing and swearing, using all sorts of popular curses from ancient times...

Like "not worthy of being human", "having demons but no offspring", which was relatively basic.

Li Changshou quickly decided to spice it up, starting to shout some more provocative words.

Even though the minds of these demon clansmen were controlled at the moment, their anger soared.

For example...

"Clearly there are two demon emperors, but only one demon empress!"

"Your ancestors were beaten by the wizard clan and dared not touch the ground. Still shamelessly claim to have equal control of the world with the wizard clan! Where's your dignity? Where?"

The rays of immortal light shot out, and the demons all reached out to tear the strong man apart.

However, Li Changshou's Wind Escape technique, combined with the borrowed force method, was very clever, dodging and evading in the air while constantly cursing. Unknowingly, the paper Taoist strong man rushed to the sky above the Little Qiong Peak, with a stream of light flying towards him from behind.

Li Changshou controlled the paper Taoist, deliberately being hit by the precious bead in the stream of light...

The strong man's figure was knocked down, falling towards the Little Qiong Peak, but managed to stabilize in mid-air, turning his head to look at the demons flying towards him.

However, at this moment, the demons also felt a hint of danger, and several humanoid demons hesitated...

In the darkness, Li Changshou snorted coldly in his heart.

The paper Taoist strong man turned around directly, standing on the edge of the Great Array of Little Qiong Peak, making a thumbs-down gesture towards the demons below, and then contemptuously beckoned with his finger.

"I've been running away for so long, and it turns out you only have this much ability, barely scratching me! Come on, one by one!"

The more than twenty demon experts were slightly stunned, then rushed towards the strong man below.

With the blood mosquitoes affecting them in secret, naturally, they were going one on one with him.
