Chapter 223: Five Venom’s Plot!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just when Spirit Crusher had a hard time coming to a decision, a young sect member beside him drew closer to him and whispered into his ear, “Boss, I have a suggestion…”

“Go on.”

Spirit Crusher did not even need to turn his head around to know that the person who spoke to him was also a core member of Class One Hall. He usually had a lot of ideas, so could he have something good at that moment too?

The person smiled. “Think, our hall master might have asked us not to attack Happy, but she didn’t say that we can’t attack when we’re bullied! Besides, based on what I know, Happy has never taken the initiative to seize a human player’s loot. Even his brocade box was seized from a bandit. Every time he kills and attacks, he will make sure that he stands on the side of reason.”

“Are you saying…” Spirit Crusher’s eyes brightened slightly, because he had a vague idea as to what the core member wanted to say.

The core member’s smile grew brighter. “Since Happy has always walked down the path of justice, we’ll just use justice to deal with him so that he won’t be able to attack us!” When he said that, he swept his gaze over Little North. “After all, our battle replay is almost ready, so why don’t we kill Corpse Controller Little North and get Hoof Shadow as well as Phantasm Body Movement Skill?

“If Happy really wants to come at us for justice, we will have proof that we are standing on the side of reason. At that time, no matter what reaction Happy has, he will not be able to get anything good out of the situation. We can kill two birds with one stone!”

“Kill two birds with one stone?” Spirit Crusher narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling slightly puzzled. “How can we kill two birds with one stone?”

“Hasn’t Happy been very close with Chivalry Sect lately? If he attacks us, we can upload the battle replay online, and with how sanctimonious those people from Chivalry Sect are and how they like to do things in a moral way, they will definitely draw a line with Happy. If that happens, Situ Luoyu will get a chance to catch his breath.

“While if Happy controls his anger and swallows the insult, he will definitely lose a strong party member!” Spirit Crusher finally came to a realization. He smiled in an enlightened manner, and when he looked at Little North again, his gaze turned cold. “Then what are we waiting for? Attack!”

The person who had made the suggestion took a step back. The thirty or so Five Venoms Sect Members near him did not say anything else. They opened their pots at the same time, and a foul smelling, poisonous fog charged out while the players let out strange and urgent sounds.

There were two whistles, one was long, and the other was short. They were piercing and aimed at Little North!

Venomous insects, centipedes, and tiny venomous snakes crawled out nonstop from the pot. While squirming forward, they swiftly filled the corner of the ancient tomb and surrounded Little North.

The youth’s expression changed. Little North noticed that the situation was not good, and he quickly instructed his two zombies to charge forward to sweep away the venomous insects that tried to get near him.

It was clear that he would not be able to handle the situation with palm techniques!

There were too many venomous insects around!

The zombies could not get rid of them very well either. When they attacked, they could only sweep away a few of those creatures. Soon, their bodies were covered in centipedes and venomous insects.

Little North instantly cried bitterly in his heart. When he saw that he was surrounded by a large swarm of venomous insects and was about to die, what sounded like an immortal’s voice suddenly reached everyone’s ears.

“Stop!”

No one acknowledged the speaker. The Five Venoms would naturally not stop just because someone said so. Only Spirit Crusher frowned and turned his head around to the spot where the voice came from with a face full of alertness. A female player dressed in a long purple dress charged over on a large white horse.

“Damn it.”

When she saw that Five Venoms showed no signs of stopping, she slapped the back of the horse, and the powerful inertia allowed her to jump high from her mount. She looked like an arrow that left her bow, and in an instant, she arrived behind the Five Venoms Sect Members.

It had been a sheer coincidence that Momo passed by the area, and when she looked down, she was just in time to see a group of people in strange clothes surrounding a young man. There seemed to be an injured black horse behind him, and she instinctively thought that she was looking at a scene of a weakling being bullied while he was out training. Her compassionate personality made it impossible for her to overlook the situation, and she shouted for them to stop without hesitation.

But she did not expect that those people would treat her as if she did not exist.

What made her even angrier was that the group of strangely-dressed people’s pots were filled with the venomous insects that girls hated and found most repulsive. They were all things that were hairy, slimey, and had many legs.

She was angry, and her anger only burned hotter!

‘Knew it, they’re all a group of villains.’

“Careful!”

Spirit Crusher originally did not regard the female player who came over as anyone important. However, when she jumped up, her clean movements and the cold glare that seemed alive once it was drawn from under her long purple dress instantly made him feel slightly uneasy and alert.

“Come down here—”

But the other people from Five Venoms clearly did not have the same judgment. When they saw the woman rush over, they did not hesitate and lifted their pots. A large swarm of venomous insects were sent like a swarm of locusts, and they aimed for the female player’s face.

The woman did not retreat. She instead advanced forward.

She moved like there were ripples around her. She was like an illusion or a phantom. There was a blurry afterimage behind her, and she dodged the numerous venomous insects by moving below them in an incredibly ingenious manner. Then, everyone saw an astonishing flash from a sword shine.

Five players had their pots shattered.

“AH!”

“RUN!”

The venomous insects, centipedes, and venomous snakes that were freed from their control crawled out in a crazy manner. They squirmed and bit down on the closest people, and shrill screams of pain rose and fell.

The people nearby were all so frightened that they felt their souls leave their bodies. They could only watch with wide eyes as their companions who usually toyed with poison were covered head to toe by countless venomous insects. They did not even have the chance to eat antidotes before they fell to the ground and died with black faces.

“Get lost!”

The disturbance at the back finally gave Little North a chance to catch his breath.

The two zombies did not feel any fear, and they did not care about the venomous insects biting them. They attacked at full strength and used every attack at their disposal to strike the creatures that came charging at them.

As for Little North, since he was protected by Illusory Spirit Body, the venomous creatures were not be able to penetrate his defenses straight away. He took the initiative to break out of the encirclement while he dragged his zombies in tow. He attacked with his Grandmaster Realm Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms, and once he sent a few Five Venoms Sect Members flying, he charged into the chaotic crowd and slaughtered at will.

All this happened in an instant. When Spirit Crusher turned his head around after his attention was diverted by the mysterious woman, he found that things had already progressed to the point where they could no longer control the situation.

When Little North broke out of the encirclement, the venomous creatures surged back toward the group, and the situation became even more chaotic.

Since five people’s pots had been shattered and they lost control of their pets, those creatures bit anyone they saw, and it made their situation even more perilous. On top of that, there was the woman with strange and agile movements continuously attacking them. While being dazed by the swift change in the situation, Spirit Crusher had already lost more than half of his men!

“Get Hoof Shadow first!” the Class One Hall member quickly reminded Spirit Crusher with a whisper.

Spirit Crusher’s eyes lit up. ‘That’s right! A Hoof Shadow is worth millions of taels of silver. No matter what, we have to get it.’

He decided to ignore the chaotic battlefield and got out of it to swing his scimitar at the nearly dead Hoof Shadow at the corner of the ancient tomb.

At that critical moment…

Ting!

A throwing knife struck Spirit Crusher’s blade at the most crucial moment and made his attack go astray.

“Who is it?!”

Spirit Crusher looked over with an angry gaze.

A young person with a straight back stood at the top of the ancient tomb with an outstanding presence. He stared at the emblem of the centipede over Spirit Crisher’s chest with a pair of chilly eyes.
