Chapter 260 Demonic Poison Spot
When the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, Xie Biyan's figure was looming in it. His body was covered with scars, his clothes were torn, and he looked extremely embarrassed. Despite this, he was still gasping for breath, barely maintaining his body suspended in the air, trying not to completely destroy his dignity.
Xie Biyan's face was twisted, full of pain and unwillingness. His eyes burned with deep hatred for Xiao Ling. It was Xiao Ling who made his ambitions come to nothing and put him in this situation. If it weren't for Xiao Ling's intervention, how could he end up in such a miserable situation.
The soldiers of the Jiama Empire witnessed the tragic situation at Xiebi Rock and couldn't help but burst into excited cheers. They knew that if the leader of the three-nation coalition was defeated here, the morale of the three-nation coalition would completely collapse, and their defenses would collapse without a fight.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Three Kingdoms coalition was extremely heavy. Their strongest force was now in such a state of decline, which made many soldiers feel unprecedented panic. Under this pressure, some soldiers began to sneak away while no one was paying attention, fleeing towards their own countries, hoping to escape this disaster.
At this moment, Xie Biyan seemed to be unable to suppress the injuries in his body any longer. His face suddenly changed, and then a violent cough broke the silence on the battlefield.
"Wow!" With a painful vomiting sound, a stream of hot blood spurted out of Xie Biyan's mouth. The blood splattered on his clothes, staining the already tattered clothes even more mottled, making him look even more miserable.
As the blood spurted out, Xie Biyan's aura quickly weakened, and his figure swayed in the air, as if he might fall at any time. The light in his eyes began to dim, and the originally powerful aura was now reduced to weak fluctuations.
While wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Xie Bi Yan looked angrily at Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixiang who had blocked his retreat.
Xie Biyan was well aware of his injuries, and he could feel the vitality draining away from his body bit by bit. Facing Xiao Ling, he knew that there was no chance of him surviving, but even so, he did not want Xiao Ling to succeed easily.
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and a final madness surged in his heart. Xie Biyan decided that even if it meant death, he would make Xiao Ling pay the price.
Xie Biyan's body began to tremble uncontrollably, but this was not because of fear, but because of the excitement surging in his heart. His heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge, and his mind had already rehearsed the pain that Xiao Ling would feel after he was caught in his trap.
His eyes flashed with madness, as if he had seen Xiao Ling struggling under his scheme. Xie Biyan's mouth curled up into a ferocious smile, his breathing became rapid, and the fighting spirit in his body began to surge wildly, as if preparing for the final counterattack.
Lifting his head, Xie Biyan showed a grim smile, and his tone revealed a hint of determination and madness. His voice echoed on the battlefield, with a chilling coldness: "Haha, since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless. Even if I have to die today, I will make you pay a heavy price! Xiao Ling, you so-called favored child of heaven, you will be buried with me!"
His words were filled with hatred for Xiao Ling and a morbid anticipation of impending destruction.
As soon as he finished speaking, he smashed the cane in his hand into the void, as if to shatter the surrounding air. With this blow, the energy in Xie Biyan's body surged out like a volcanic eruption, and blood bubbles began to appear on his skin, densely packed and shocking. The blood bubbles were filled with boiling blood, and the scene was extremely terrifying and chilling.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian's faces also changed. They could feel the crazy surging power in Xie Biyan's body. This was his last counterattack and also a sign that he was fighting to the death.
But Xiao Ling soon showed a meaningful smile on his face. He thought to himself, "I have been entangled with this guy for so long, and now he is finally going to use the trump card of 'Devil Poison Spot'. I have been waiting for this moment for a little while. Haha."
Xiao Yixian also felt Xiao Ling's change. There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by trust. She knew that no matter what plan Xiao Ling had, he was fully prepared and confident. So she didn't mean to leave, but came to Xiao Ling's side.
Jia Xingtian and the other two who were far away also felt the changes in Xie Bi Yan. His face suddenly changed and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
"Be careful, he wants to self-destruct!
Jia Xingtian, who was standing by, shouted in a deep voice, his face full of solemnity. Seeing that Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian were so far away from Xie Biyan, he was worried that they would be in danger, so he rushed towards the two without thinking. The self-explosion of a Dou Zong strongman was extremely powerful.
Hai Bodong's face was very solemn, and his voice sounded low and hurried: "Xiao Ling, be careful, Xie Biyan may explode! Get out of here quickly."
His face was tense, revealing deep worry. Seeing Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian still within Xie Biyan's attack range, his heart tightened, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately flew towards them. He knew that the self-detonation of a Dou Zong strongman was no joke, and it would be an extremely terrifying force.
Hai Bodong's warning was still echoing in the air, but his figure had not yet reached Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian. At this moment, the blood bubbles on Xie Biyan's body had expanded to the limit, and then a crisp burst suddenly sounded.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xie Biyan's body did not explode as expected. On the contrary, after a strange contraction, his body began to shrink strangely. The self-explosion that was originally thought to be about to happen did not occur, which made everyone present feel a little confused and astonished.
Just as everyone was in doubt, Xie Biyan suddenly showed an even more ferocious smile. The blood bubbles on his skin began to burst one after another, his mouth swelled to the extreme, and his head tilted back, as if preparing for some more terrifying attack.
"Pfft!"
With a slight sound, the blood bubbles on Xie Biyan's body burst in an instant. His mouth suddenly opened, and a beam of light like black lightning shot out from his mouth at an astonishing speed.
Although this black light was only as thick as a thumb, its speed seemed to be able to tear through the air. Almost at the moment it shot out from the mouth of the scorpion, it had already approached Xiao Ling, who was a hundred meters away. Its speed was so fast that it seemed to penetrate even the space, leaving a twisted trajectory.
Faced with this sudden attack, it seemed to others that Xiao Ling had no time to react.
The speed of the black light was so fast that it was difficult to catch its trajectory. However, Xiao Ling's eyes were unusually calm, without any sense of crisis.
The sudden and fierce attack launched by Xie Biyan caught Xiao Yixian off guard. At this critical moment, she quickly mobilized the Dou Qi in her body and moved it outside her body, forming an extremely solid Dou Qi defense.
However, she soon realized that Xie Bi Yan's real target was not her, but was heading straight for Xiao Ling.
Relying on his soul power that has reached the middle stage of the spiritual realm, Xiao Ling can naturally clearly sense the movement trajectory of the "demon poison spot".
He could have easily avoided or counterattacked, but surprisingly, Xiao Ling did not make any resistance. The black light, as if it had life, penetrated into Xiao Ling's skin like liquid as soon as it touched his skin and disappeared.
"You bastard!" Seeing Xiao Ling being hit, Xiao Yixiang's anger erupted like a volcano. She slapped Xie Bi Yan to death without hesitation, and then flew quickly to Xiao Ling's side.
She quickly checked Xiao Ling's condition and eagerly pulled open his clothes. She saw that a thumb-sized black spot had formed on the skin that was hit by the black light, and many tiny black lines spread around it, which looked very creepy.
"Xiao Ling, quickly check Xie Bi Yan's ring to see if there is any clue about the black light." Xiao Yixiang's voice was full of anxiety. She could feel that this black light was not simple at all, and the toxin in it was not something that an ordinary Dou Zong could resist.
Yao Chen's figure slowly emerged from the bone inflammation ring in the hands of the Little Medical Immortal. His eyes fell on the "demon poison spot" on Xiao Ling's body, and his expression seemed a little serious. "The toxin contained in this black spot is extremely fierce. Even Dou Zong strongmen can't easily deal with it." There was a trace of worry in his words. Then, Yao Chen turned to Xiao Ling, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "With your soul power, it shouldn't be difficult to avoid this poison spot. But I just noticed that you seemed to be deliberately letting it hit you. You should have an idea in your mind, right?"
After hearing Yao Chen's words, the anxious Little Medical Fairy calmed down a little, "Xiao Ling, do you really have a way to deal with this thing?"
There was a hint of expectation in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on Xiao Ling, waiting for his answer.
Xiao Ling gently held Xiao Yixian's hand, and smiled to calm her unstable emotions. "Don't worry, although this demon poison spot has caused me some trouble, it is not fatal. In fact, it has some unexpected benefits. The situation was urgent before, and I didn't have time to tell you, so I made you worry."
Then, Xiao Ling explained to Yao Chen and Xiao Yixian, "This Demonic Poison Spot is a vicious trick of the Izumo Empire. It can condense the poisonous fighting spirit in the whole body and shoot it into the enemy's body, forming a black spot. This black spot will continuously release poisonous lines. Once these poisonous lines spread throughout the acupuncture points of the whole body, the meridians of the person who is hit will rot, and eventually die slowly in extreme pain."
"Although it sounds scary, the Demonic Poison Spot is not completely useless. It contains Xie Biyan's lifetime of fighting spirit. If I can survive or break it, I can absorb that huge amount of fighting spirit and promote me to a high-level Dou Zong, which is more than enough."
"Let me put it this way. If used in the right way, this thing can be a treasure for rapid upgrades." Xiao Ling said easily, his eyes flashing with interest in this potential "big gift package".
The reason why he did not dodge Xie Biyan's attack was because he had enough confidence in his own strength. After all, with his ability, it would be a piece of cake to avoid Xie Biyan's magic poison spots.
As for how to resolve the devil poison spot, Xiao Ling already had a plan in mind. The strange fire was the key. He remembered that Xiao Yan in the original novel used the strange fire to refine the devil poison spot. Now, the strange fire that Xiao Ling absorbed and his own strength were only stronger than Xiao Yan's. He had already reached the requirements of three kinds of strange fire, which greatly reduced the risk of him resolving the devil poison spot.
After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Xiao Yixian and Yao Chen's worries gradually disappeared. They just didn't think much about it because they were nervous. After all, Xiao Ling always did things in an orderly manner and would not put himself in danger.
"Hearing the noise, it seems someone is coming this way, so I will retreat first. You can handle the rest by yourselves." Yao Chen stroked his beard lightly with a relaxed tone, and then his figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, and suddenly returned to the Bone Inflammation Ring.
Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian exchanged a tacit look, and both couldn't help but smile. Then, Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and Xie Biyan's body slowly floated over.
At this time, Xie Bi Yan's body looked quite miserable. His skin was cracked due to the use of the magic poison spots, and his face became bloody and mangled by the heavy blow from Xiao Yixiang's palm, making it almost unrecognizable as a human.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yixiang couldn't help but frowned, and Xiao Ling also felt a little nauseous.
He first took away Xie Biyan's storage ring, then quickly pulled Xie Biyan's soul out of his body, and regardless of the curses from Xie Biyan's soul, he sealed it into a special porcelain bottle. Then, he quickly put the porcelain bottle and Xie Biyan's body into his storage ring.
Not long after completing this set of movements, an ice-blue stream of light streaked across the sky, coming rapidly, and finally stopped beside Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixiang, revealing Hai Bodong's tall figure.
As soon as Hai Bodong appeared, he immediately looked at Xiao Ling with concern and asked anxiously: "Xiao Ling, are you okay? I just saw Xie Biyan seemed to have done something to you, and his target was your body."
At this time, Xiao Ling had quickly tidied his clothes to cover the magic poison spots on his body, so Hai Bodong did not notice anything unusual.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and replied in a relaxed tone: "Mr. Hai, thank you for your concern. But don't worry, I'm fine. Xie Biyan's tricks can't hurt me."
Seeing that Xiao Ling was indeed not injured, Hai Bodong breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot from this retreat. Even Xie Biyan's desperate attack could not do anything to you. It's true that young people are to be feared, and heroes emerge from youth."
Xiao Ling didn't say much about this, but he did feel a warm feeling in his heart. Hai Bodong's previous reminder and his coming to care about him so quickly made Xiao Ling feel the care of this senior.
After chatting with Hai Bodong for a while, Yunshan and Jia Xingtian also hurried over to them. As soon as they saw Xiao Ling, they eagerly asked if he was injured, with worry in their tone.
Xiao Ling also told them that he was fine, but compared to his attitude towards Hai Bodong, his answer was a little colder.
Yunshan and Jia Xingtian were indeed relieved after hearing Xiao Ling say that he was fine, but they also noticed that Xiao Ling's attitude towards them and Hai Bodong was different, and they couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, so they didn't continue to ask.
Then, three streaks of light flashed across the sky, flying towards them quickly. They were Xiao Zi, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin. On Zi Yan's wrist, the Split Sky Seat shrank in size and wrapped itself around it obediently.
The three of them came to Xiao Ling. Before Xiao Ling could even open his mouth, Zi Yan said, "Xiao Ling, praise me. I have killed several Douhuang-level opponents." As she spoke, she proudly tossed a few storage rings in her hand. Those were the trophies she had just obtained.
As soon as Xiao Ling arrived at the battlefield, he ordered Liekongzuo to meet up with Zi Yan and help her deal with those Dou Wang level strongmen in the Three Kingdoms Alliance. With Liekongzuo's joining, it became easy for them to deal with those opponents who did not reach the Dou Zong level. The few of them joined forces and quickly dealt with those Dou Huang and Dou Wang level enemies.
Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin stood aside, looking at Zi Yan's smug look, and couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zi Yan's excitement. He reached out and rubbed Zi Yan's little head. He nodded and praised her, "Well done, Zi Yan. You have done a lot this time. I will definitely give you something delicious when I go back."
Then, Xiao Ling turned his attention to the panicked soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. Their troops had lost their leader and their morale was low.
Xiao Ling's voice was clear and firm, penetrating the din of the battlefield. "Your strongest fighter has been defeated by us, and no one above the Dou Wang level was spared. Now, I'm giving you a chance, evacuate immediately, and don't put up any more futile resistance."
There was no threat or arrogance in Xiao Ling's words, only a calm strength. He was not out of cruelty or bloodlust, but wanted to avoid more unnecessary sacrifices.
He had no interest in chasing or punishing those soldiers. The purpose of this time had been perfectly achieved, and Xiao Ling did not want to waste too much time here.
As for continuing to help the Gama Empire to destroy the war power of hostile countries, Xiao Ling has no such plan. Now the power of the Mulan Empire, Luoyan Empire and Chuyun Empire has been severely damaged, while the strength of the Gama Empire has increased. This situation can maintain a relative balance. For Xiao Ling, this step is already the best he can do.
He was not the instigator of the war, nor was he a pawn in the struggle between empires. All he did was ensure that the Gama Empire could protect itself and not be completely crushed in this dispute. Now that the dust of this battle has settled, Xiao Ling is also ready to continue his journey and find his own way.
The future of the Gama Empire will be written by themselves.
