第两千四百八十四章 五毒碧蚕蛊

Chapter 2484: Five Poison Green Silkworm Pests

"Bad luck!"

The large man in brocade robes let out a sudden roar, and his body was enveloped by protective spiritual light. However, it was too late; the next moment, green light flashed beside him, and his protective spirit shield seemed to be torn like fabric. A terrifying ghostly claw shot out without warning. The claw had sharp fingertips and moved incredibly fast.

It pierced through his back, causing blood to gush out in torrents. Even a Core Profound cultivator would surely die from such severe injuries; unless he had a Reviving Talisman, which was impossible here.

The respected elder in brocade robes widened his eyes with venomous expression. Although he anticipated something amiss, he did not expect the other party to be so ruthless. Why did they want to kill him?

But this no longer mattered.

A flash of spiritual light revealed an inch-high元婴 floating above his head, clutching a round bead as big as a dragon's eye. He frantically tried to find a way out.

Unfortunately, it was in vain.

If the other party had set up such a trap, how could he possibly escape?

A large net appeared before their eyes.

Despite using instantaneous teleportation, the元婴 was still helpless against this heavenly web and crashed into it. The禁制 of that treasure then immobilized him.

"Why?"

The respected elder in brocade robes roared with fury, exuding malevolence. He had no grudge or recent enmity; in fact, he could say their relationship was quite good. Why would he deliberately frame him?

The elderly man with white hair smiled without speaking.

On the other side, similar cries of agony and shouts echoed as the fate of the evil fire monk was almost the same. The old woman with white hair acted almost simultaneously.

They had agreed from the start.

Alas, the evil fire monk's strength might be the strongest among these five Core Profound cultivators, but he still couldn't defend against a sneak attack. They both perished in their flesh, while his元婴 was bound by the other party.

"You... You two, what are you doing?"

The woman dressed in court attire was shocked and stepped back several feet. She didn't dare to retreat towards the passage; such an action would reveal too many flaws and make her vulnerable to another ambush. Her strength was already weaker compared to others, so she dared not risk it.

"Mrs. Yi, if you surrender peacefully, we can spare you much suffering."

The elderly man with white hair still wore a pleasant expression but now looked sinister.

"Brother, at this point, why bother talking? Whether or not she surrenders, she's already in our grasp."

The old woman straightened and her face was extremely cold.

"What? You are fellow cultivators?"

The woman dressed in court attire was shocked. She turned to Lin Xuan: "Friend Lin, we can only hope to carve a bloody path together now. Ah..."

Before she could finish, she suddenly cried out in pain, clutching her head as if suffering immensely. A layer of green light enveloped her forearm and face, as if magical insects were crawling beneath her skin.

The old woman with white hair cast a spell, emitting strange incantations from her mouth.

"What have you done to me?"

"Haha, nothing much. Do you remember the Green Heart Pill you asked for several months ago?"

"What? You tampered with the pills."

"It's not really tampering; I just added some Five Poison Green Silkworm Pests to this pill," she said coldly.

"What?"

The woman dressed in court attire was terrified. She knew well the power of the Five Poison Green Silkworm Pests, but she had been too careless. Who would have thought that a friend they trusted so much would suddenly betray them?

"Enough. Out of past favors, I don't want to see you suffer too much. Surrender your元婴!"

Before her words were finished, a dragon-headed cane shot forward from her hand.

"Ahh!"

A cry of agony echoed as the woman in court attire fell down, unconscious.

Spiritual light flashed, and an identical-looking元婴 appeared but was also dazed.

The old woman with white hair's face showed a sinister expression. She waved her sleeves, sending out a grayish light that enveloped the元婴 before pulling it back.

The entire process seemed complicated but was completed in a very short time. Then she turned to the elderly man with white hair and surrounded Lin Xuan from both sides.

"You..."

Lin Xuan's face showed extreme panic, though this expression was entirely feigned. At this critical moment, why did he still pretend? He had his own reasons for doing so.

In any case, it wasn't time to reveal his strength yet.

"Friend, will you surrender your元婴 or prepare to endure some pain?"

The elderly man with white hair smiled. His fake expression now seemed even more repulsive.

Lin Xuan's face showed extreme panic as if he was carefully controlling his emotions. He took a deep breath: "From the beginning, you planned this; I admit defeat. But do you want my元婴..."

Lin Xuan said with a tragic smile: "Don't dream."

"Bad luck, he wants to self-destruct!"

The elderly man with white hair reacted quickly and retreated. Stopping was too late now; they had to protect themselves. After all, the self-destruction of an equal-level cultivator wasn't something to joke about.

"F*ck it, even a wise person can make one mistake. I didn't expect this kid to have the courage for self-destruction."

The elderly man with white hair was extremely frustrated but couldn't do anything at that moment. He flashed and stood beside the old woman with white hair, then waved his sleeves to summon several defensive treasures.

The old woman with white hair did the same. Only by working together could they possibly survive this crisis. Various colored lights shone brightly around them, creating multiple protective barriers.

However, even with these measures, they still didn't have full confidence; it was merely hoping for the best and leaving the rest to fate.

In the next moment, a deafening roar filled their ears as fierce gales spread...

Lin Xuan really self-destructed. The self-destruction of a Core Profound cultivator was truly formidable. The outermost protective barrier was torn like paper.

The large shield that followed turned into scrap under such power.

Layer by layer, the defenses were broken down, but fortunately, the terrifying force gradually weakened.
