"Are you trying to scare me?"
Hearing this, Hei Cheng looked at the other person with disdain and continued, "Ye Cangtian, I admit you are strong, but do you think you are invincible?
You probably don't know yet? Long before you arrived, we had already set up poisons here!"
As he spoke, Hei Cheng revealed a triumphant smile. This was undoubtedly his most successful scheme.
He had worried that Ye Cangtian might interfere, so the poison he used this time was one of the Five Poison Sect's most precious.
This poison was something even Heavenly-level cultivators couldn't resist.
And now, not only had Ye Cangtian ingested this poison, but so had Dongfang Mingyue. How could they possibly contend with him now!
"Calling you intellectually inferior, and you still don't admit it!"
"I've killed so many experts from the Five Poison Sect. If the poison was effective, how could I still be standing here?"
Ye Cangtian looked at the other person with disdain and continued, "Besides, do we look like we've been poisoned?
To tell you the truth, we specifically prepared antidotes to deal with you!"
"I naturally know your capabilities. I've heard you possess the legendary Ten Thousand Poisons Body, but that's just hearsay. I don't believe it!"
"So I specifically prepared the Dust Settling Powder for you. This poison is not fatal. It only dissipates the spiritual energy in your meridians, reducing you to useless beggars like dust!"
"As for your so-called antidotes, they are trash in front of this. They can't resist its toxic effects at all..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Hei Cheng immediately showed a disdainful smile.
Many people thought they could deal with the Five Poison Sect's toxins with their antidotes, but in reality, these people only delayed their deaths by a short while.
Because of this, he didn't care at all when he heard that they had taken antidotes.
Hearing the other person's words, Yan Biao and Ye Zhenghao felt somewhat nervous and secretly checked their bodies, genuinely worried about being affected.
After a thorough check, they suddenly found that the spiritual energy in their bodies had not diminished at all, meaning the antidotes provided by Ye Cangtian had worked.
Ye Cangtian also smiled slightly after hearing the other person's words and said, "You'd better not be too confident. A well-intentioned reminder: the more confident you are, the more miserable your defeat will be..."
"Confident?"
"That's a question I should be asking you!"
"I bet the spiritual energy in your body has already dissipated significantly. Saying such things now is just bluster to scare us away, right!"
Hei Cheng looked at the other person, his eyes filled with a hint of disdainful amusement, as if he had seen through everything.
"Heh heh, we've been blabbering for so long. If the spiritual energy in our bodies has dissipated or not, we'll know if we just make a move?"
"Why don't you try it now?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's smile deepened, and he spoke mockingly.
"Do you think I dare not?"
Hei Cheng looked at Ye Cangtian grimly. Judging by the time, even a Heavenly-level Ye Cangtian's spiritual energy would probably be less than that of an Earth-level cultivator by now!
Such a person was like trash in front of him. Now that he was being so provocative, it was truly courting death!
Thinking this, Hei Cheng raised his hand as a signal and spat out a cold word: "Kill!"
The next moment, the old brothers of the Viper Hall surrounding Hei Cheng twitched their sleeves, and then lines of small, emerald-green snakes crawled out from their sleeves.
They stared at Ye Cangtian and the others for a moment, as if confirming their prey, then warily darted towards Ye Cangtian and the others.
On the other side, seeing the opponent make a move, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Hey, stop pretending. It's time for you to show yourselves."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian took a step back.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's actions, Yan Biao and Ye Zhenghao behind him suddenly's eyes lit up. Without a word, they took off their helmets, revealing their true faces.
Then, the two of them stepped forward, blocking in front of Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue.
They naturally wouldn't miss this rare opportunity to perform.
Yan Biao? Ye Zhenghao?
Seeing the two of them, Hei Cheng's face immediately turned grim, but after a moment, he began to laugh.
If it were in any other place, upon seeing the four of them gathered, he would have fled immediately.
With that lineup, eliminating them would be no more troublesome than crushing ants.
But now, with the Dust Settling Powder everywhere, their cultivation was rapidly dissipating.
Now that they had stepped forward, it was probably the same as Ye Cangtian – just putting on a brave face.
Furthermore, Ye Cangtian had stepped forward first, but as soon as he saw them making a move, Ye Cangtian retreated?
It was clearly guilt, trying to save his own life!
Since that was the case, what was there for him to be nervous about? He might as well capture them all in one go!
This way, with Dongfang Mingyue and Ye Cangtian dying at the Fiery Court, the Hidden Organization would surely not let it go.
And with the two heroes of the Fiery Court also dying here, it would be equivalent to cutting off the future of the Fiery Court, causing it to decline in the future.
Thinking this, Hei Cheng revealed a ruthless smile and said, "This is truly heaven-sent! None of you will leave here alive today..."
Pfft! Pfft!
Before Hei Cheng could finish speaking, faint sounds were heard, and the scene before him instantly choked back his unfinished words.
The bamboo viper snakes that had lunged forward, as soon as they bared their fangs and attacked, were instantly smashed to pieces by a punch from Ye Zhenghao and Yan Biao.
In just over ten seconds, all the bamboo viper snakes were eliminated, the scene extremely bloody!
Didn't they fall victim to the Dust Settling Powder? Why did they still possess such strength?
Moreover, why was their aura still so powerful? It hadn't weakened significantly!
Could it be... could it be that the damn antidotes actually worked against the Dust Settling Powder?
Hei Cheng's face gradually turned pale. If that were really the case, then they would probably all be finished here today!
"Continue, don't stop!"
"Those little spicy strips just now weren't enough for them to warm up!"
Seeing Hei Cheng's expression, Ye Cangtian's mouth curved upwards. He knew that the other party had noticed something and deliberately provoked him.
Hmph!
Hei Cheng, forcing himself, snorted coldly and roared, "Brothers, don't be afraid. They are just bluffing and forcing out powerful attacks. In reality, they are already at their wit's end!"
Hei Cheng knew that his subordinates were all seasoned veterans and would surely see through something, thus feeling fear and retreating.
Therefore, he had to stabilize their morale. Otherwise, the outcome would be even more tragic.
At the same time, this was also to boost his own morale.
After his words fell, the expressions of fear on the faces of some of his subordinates eased considerably.
The next moment, they drew their weapons and charged towards Ye Cangtian and the others.
They understood that if they wanted to survive today, they could only fight their way out.
*Snap! Snap!*
Ye Cangtian clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "Your courage is commendable, but ultimately you are too weak."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian gestured to Yan Biao and the other two.
Seeing this, the two gritted their teeth.
It was said that Ye Cangtian got to do the showy stuff, while they had to do the grunt work. He really treated them like his subordinates.
Although they were unhappy in their hearts, the two still took action.
There was no other way. If they didn't act, they wouldn't even have this chance to perform, and would truly become mere decorations.
*Bang! Bang! Bang...*
In just an instant, muffled thuds erupted at the scene, punches landing with solid impact.
Following the muffled sounds, cries of agony also rang out.
Hei Cheng's face turned grim. These were all his old subordinates, with whom he had a decent relationship.
Now that they were being dealt with in one or two punches, besides his indignation, he also felt a strong sense of powerlessness!
If Yan Biao and Ye Zhenghao could achieve this, it must be because the antidotes were effective.
Since even they were unaffected, Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue were clearly the same.
Therefore, even if he were to intervene, it would be futile and only add another corpse.
Thus, his thoughts were not on how to help, but on how to escape.
*Bang!*
With a muffled thud, the last subordinate of the Viper Hall fell to the ground.
It wasn't that the people of the Viper Hall were too weak, but that Yan Biao and the other two were too strong. The gap between them was simply insurmountable.
Ye Cangtian's gaze swept over the other party and he said, "Hey, are you going to attack yourself, or do you have another trick up your sleeve?"
Hei Cheng looked at Ye Cangtian and couldn't help but swallow. He forced himself and said, "Ye Cangtian, you've won. Just name your price! What price do I need to pay for you to let me go?"
