The two powerful experts from the CangHai Sect in the water had initially been at an advantage and decided to seize Qin Hao combatively. But when they saw the black substances emerging from Qin Hao's body, they were both terrified. The guy was too mad that he decided to perish with them. After fighting for so long, everyone had a few cuts on their body. It was just different from depth and quant.i.ty. They would die if the cuts were contaminated. Even worse, they were fighting in the water so they would take a sip unavoidably. Are we still alive after drinking this water?
Amid their shock, the two experts had thoughts of retreating. They began to retreat while fighting and try to avoid the poisonous water as much as possible. Qin Hao would not allow them to be successful with elation, pouncing on them and trying to kill them like crazy. He did not care about the poison at all. He was not afraid of it because he owned the Earth Spirit Pearl.
In this turn of events, the situation had reversed. On one side, there was no desire to continue the fight, and they were so afraid of poisonous water that they were constrained, while on the other side, the more the fight went on, the more reckless he was.
On the sh.o.r.e, the three of them looked at the turbulent water worriedly, as if they also felt an ominous premonition. At this moment, "Hua La", one of them stuck his head out and swam towards the sh.o.r.e with all his might.
What did it mean? Had the battle ended? But there were still movements under the water.
When it came to movements, the center of the water was quiet, and the water surface calmed down. Although there were still ripples on the surface, everyone knew that they were aftershocks.
They turned to look at the person swimming towards the sh.o.r.e then. After only swimming halfway, they discovered that his speed had become slower and slower. In the end, his entire body had sunk, and he had disappeared without a trace.
The three people on the sh.o.r.e looked at each other. Each of them had ugly expression, and even Cang Nan's body was trembling. What happened just now?
The surface of the water had utterly regained its calmness. It was terrifyingly calm.
Looking at the terrifyingly calm water, the three of them felt their backs going numb. Cang Nan wanted to call more people to take a look initially, but seeing how the other two looked, he reckoned that no one dared to go into the water. Besides, he was only left with these two experts. If he were to lose them in the water, it would be a terrible loss. So he gave up this idea and just looked at the lake surface quietly, hoping to see the final result.
If the three people in the water were all dead, then the mission would be completed since Qin Hao was finished, he could just scoop up his corpse and plunder the treasures on his body. If only the two experts died and Qin Hao was still alive, it would be hard for Cang Nan to accept, so he did not dare to think of this outcome.
After waiting for a long time, with a "gulp" sound, the first corpse floated up from the water. It was the corpse of the one that had swum half-way through before sinking.
Cang Nan's heart tightened. It was his own person.
Then, with a "gulp" sound, the second corpse appeared in the middle of the water. The body faced downwards, revealing only the back. However, it didn't need to look at the front of the body to know that it was one of them.
If they were all his own people, then what about Qin Hao?
Cang Nan's widened eyes looked as though they were almost about to bleed. He wanted to see the third corpse, and that would be Qin Hao's. Unfortunately, no matter how he stared after the two bodies appeared, the lake surface no longer moved. There were only two corpses of his own people.
"Cang, Elder Cang, what should we do?" The voices of the experts on the sh.o.r.e quivered. It wasn't that he hadn't experienced life and death before, it was just that this kind of death was too infuriating.
"Let's scoop up their corpses first, and then get even with that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Qin Hao." Cang Nan clenched his teeth and ordered.
"Yes." Upon receiving the order, the two hurriedly tried to salvage the corpses. After all, they were their peers; it would be better to rescue them from the lake.
Of course, it was impossible for them to jump into the water to salvage them up. They found a long bamboo pole and plundered the corpse to the sh.o.r.e first, and then salvaged it out.
The first body was salvaged successfully, and when the second body was rescued, they found it very difficult. This body was weighty, and the bamboo poles had to be bent to move it a little.
After a long time of effort, the corpse was finally dragged to the sh.o.r.e.
The two of them threw down their bamboo poles immediately. One of them bent down to pick up the corpse. Realizing that it was a bit heavy, he called for the other person hastily, "Give me a hand."
The other man had to bend down and grab the body's arm from the other side, at the same time they yanked together...
With a "Hua La" sound, the corpse was brought up. However, what came up was not only one corpse but two. It turned out to be a corpse that was grabbing on the first corpse, the two bodies were stacked together. No wonder it was heavy. But how could a corpse be grabbing? Too horrifying.
In an instant, the corpse on top opened its eyes. Before the two of them had no time to loosen their hands, a red flash of the blade had already erupted. With the sudden attack coming from such a close distance, and the two of them put their attention on the corpse, thus were utterly unprepared for it. Tragically, only one of them had the time to scream before the red blade slashed across their necks, causing two more corpses to appear on the ground.
Cang Nan, who was standing at the side, was dumbstruck by the scene in front of him and was unable to react in time. Although he was usually very arrogant, after personally witnessing those experts die one after another, looking at these corpses and seeing Qin Hao's strange and vicious killing methods, the fear in his heart started to spread. Especially when he thought about that he was the only one left, the fear became even more frenzied.
Cang Nan's performance had given Qin Hao the chance to return his blade and kill him. Previously, he was a little worried that Cang Nan would attack him immediately because that would make him be in a pa.s.sive position. It wasn't expected that he would catch back on the initiative. With a b.l.o.o.d.y flash of the blade, he drew a red blade arc in the air and then slashed combatively at Cang Nan, who was still in a daze.
Sharp blade beams and the aura of death were approaching and had finally ignited Cang Nan's instinct of resistance. He hurriedly brandished the sharp sword in his hands and hit the red blade beams.
With a "Dang" sound, the blade and sword clashed, and with a "Kacha" sound, the sword in Cang Nan's hand was cut into half.
This time, Cang Nan, who was already afraid at first, was so scared that his soul had almost left his body. His mind was in a mess, he panicked, and as he panicked, he lost his attention. His arm suddenly hurt, and in the next moment, one of his arms flew out, when he was able to react, he screamed miserably. His heart had been collapsed finally, and he no longer had the will to fight. He turned around and ran, and this time, his back was completely exposed.
Qin Hao certainly would not let him escape. The Scarlet Blood Saber flew out, and with a "puchi" sound, it pierced through his heart.
Cang Nan looked down at the giant hole in his chest, his eyes filled with fear, unwillingness, and reluctance to part with this world. Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, it was no longer critical. He had to fall down with countless reeds being fallen down and left this world.
From then on, all the CangHai Sect experts that went to war were all annihilated.
After Qin Hao kept his Scarlet Blood Sword back, he looked at Cang Nan's corpse on the ground and let out a cold laugh. Then, he quickly disappeared into the reeds, because within his Spirit Sense, he had already discovered that there were a lot of people rus.h.i.+ng towards him. Maybe the motivation here had been found by the others.
Sure enough, after Qin Hao disappeared for less than a minute, a few people rushed to Cang Nan's side. They looked at his corpse in fear and immediately called for their companions.
"CangHai Sect is dead. Elder Cang is dead."
Following the sounds of shouting, even more, people rushed over. Very quickly, over twenty people gathered here. When they looked at the corpses of the CangHai Sect's disciples, a cold wind blew from their backs. When they looked back at the depths of the reeds, their eyes were filled with fear and cowardice, and no one knew when or where that life-reaping ghost would appear.
"What happened to Elder Cang?" Bai Song also brought his people and rushed over. When they rushed into the crowd and saw Cang Nan's corpse, their faces turned a little pale instantly.
He was unambiguous on Cang Nan's strength, he had been in the early period of the Perfection Stage for many years. He was not much weaker than himself, but he actually died?
What's even more shocking was that someone found the corpses of all the disciples that entered the reeds this time. A total of eight bodies were laid out on the gra.s.s, especially the ones that had been decayed by the Yin Energy, which were corroded completely, making them disgusting.
Looking at these corpses, not just the disciples, even Bai Song felt his back numb. This time, CangHai Sect made a point of this matter the most, because besides stealing Qin Hao's resources, they also had to shoulder the task of killing Qin Hao, so they sent only experts, whose cultivation were at least the middle period of Inner Stage.
This kind of strength was undoubtedly powerful, but now they were utterly annihilated. All of them would be the future pillars and elites of the CangHai Sect. It could be predicted that in the future, the CangHai Sect's strength would be significantly reduced, at least its future potential would be substantially surpa.s.sed by the other sects, and he might even be pushed down by the seven sects.
"Ah!"
Just as everyone was panic-stricken, a shrill cry suddenly sounded out from a nearby patch of reeds. The scream was shrilling and ear-piercing, causing everyone who heard it tremble in fear. The timid ones couldn't help but shrink their bodies as they looked in the direction of the voice with fear in their eyes.
"Let's go and take a look." Bai Song took the lead, and with a "sou" sound, he swept up onto the reeds and rushed towards the source of the sound.
When he arrived at his destination, he found a corpse. Half of its face had been neatly cut off, revealing the white bone of its teeth. It was a shocking sight that made them feel fearful.
Some of the people who rushed over immediately turned around to vomit when they saw this scene.
" Elder Bai Song, we cannot continue to be so pa.s.sive." The leader of Blossom Valley, that old lady said with a stern expression.
The leaders of the other sects also agreed. They absolutely could not continue like this, because if this went on, more and more people would die. This place was simply their h.e.l.l, and in this h.e.l.l, there lived a ghost who would take away their lives.
"Everyone, leave here! Quickly!" Bai Song did not hesitate and immediately gave out his order. The disciples who received the order all rushed out of the reeds one after another as if they had received amnesty. But they rushed here urgently just now.
s.h.i.+ Bingying heard the movements of the reeds when she didn't know where she should go to look for Qin Hao, so she immediately turned in the direction of the weeds, and flew away.
Behind, the baldy and Ayte, who were holding onto their guns, could not catch up with s.h.i.+ Bingying at all. The three of them had lost contact with each other long ago, and each was wandering around in the forest. Fortunately, due to the previous fight in the woods, the venomous snakes and ferocious beasts had hidden temporarily and hadn't come out to look for food. Otherwise, they could have been attacked by countless venomous snakes and fierce creatures at any time.
The moment s.h.i.+ Bingying rushed to the reeds she saw a familiar person pulling out from it. It was Yun Yifei who was chasing after her like sticky candy.
Yun Yifei was already a Perfection Stage Expert, so he had come out much faster than everyone else. He was one of the first few people who rushed out, and the moment he came out, he was immediately attracted by s.h.i.+ Bingying. It was not only him who was attracted, but the other males were also all deeply captivated by this kind of beautiful woman.
