Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Overwhelming Kill

However, facing the five great masters of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, Peng Wanli was completely helpless, no matter how strong he was.

This can’t go on. If I die, it’s all over. Besides, these old geezers have been severely poisoned. As long as I can buy some time, they’re as good as dead! It seems my only choice is to escape first. I’ll wait until these old geezers perish, then I’ll uproot the Heavenly Mountain Sect once and for all!

With this in mind, Peng Wanli used Sound Transmission to tell the Right Envoy and the others to leave. The death of some cannon fodder didn’t matter, but if a master of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top died, even the Demon Sect would feel the pain.

Hearing Peng Wanli’s words, the Right Envoy and the other three were slightly stunned. Looking at the current situation, they understood why he had given the order. With no other choice, they left one after another. Faced with masters of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Lin Kuang and the others simply couldn’t stop them and could only watch helplessly as they made their escape.

Meanwhile, Peng Wanli also wanted to leave, but how could the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect let him go?

"Peng Wanli, you’re not getting away!" the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect bellowed. True Qi surged within him, and an overbearing aura erupted outwards. His pale complexion suddenly regained a rosy hue as if he were completely unharmed, his strength instantly returning to its peak!

Seeing this, Peng Wanli’s expression changed drastically. "You old geezer, you weren’t poisoned?!" he said in disbelief. Just moments ago, the man had clearly shown signs of being poisoned, yet now he could strike with full force. It was completely abnormal.

One must understand that the Five Poisons Powder was an extreme toxin; never mind a master of the Five Energies Towards The Origin, even an expert who surpassed that realm would die from it! For the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect to act as if nothing was wrong was something Peng Wanli found hard to accept.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect didn’t bother to reply. He just struck fiercely, his attacks overwhelmingly powerful, completely blocking Peng Wanli’s path of retreat and giving him no chance to escape.

Seeing this, Peng Wanli gritted his teeth. At this point, he could only fight to the death. If he couldn’t take down this old geezer, there was no way he could escape today. With this in mind, Peng Wanli also struck with all his might. The battle between the two peerless powerhouses was terrifying and boundless.

Even the four other masters of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top from the Heavenly Mountain Sect could only make tentative attacks, unable to provide any real help.

Watching this terrifying duel, Lin Kuang’s heart filled with yearning. If only he possessed such strength, he could lend a hand. After all, a practitioner at the Skyline realm simply couldn’t intervene in such a battle; he would be nothing but a burden.

BANG.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect and Peng Wanli exchanged a powerful blow, and both figures were sent reeling back. Peng Wanli slammed into the wall behind him, blood spurting wildly from his mouth. His face was as pale as paper; he had clearly suffered greatly from that last strike.

At the same time, the Sect Leader’s complexion grew even rosier. He struck again, appearing before Peng Wanli in a flash.

Seeing this, Peng Wanli abruptly rose to his feet and shot backward. At this point, he dared not clash head-on with the Sect Leader, whose strength was even more robust than his own—a fact that shocked him immensely.

However, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect seemed to have taken a powerful tonic. He fought with a crazed fervor, his combat power skyrocketing as he relentlessly suppressed Peng Wanli, forcing him to cough up blood continuously.

Finally, the Sect Leader slapped out with his palm, smashing it down hard onto Peng Wanli’s head.

BANG.

Like a smashed watermelon, Peng Wanli’s head burst open, splattering red blood and white brain matter everywhere.

Seeing this scene, everyone from the Heavenly Mountain Sect began to cheer wildly in excitement. The battle had finally been won!

However, just as the crowd was celebrating, the Sect Leader’s body trembled. He suddenly aged drastically, as if he had lost many years of his life in that single instant. His rosy complexion turned pale again, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, the female disciple whom Lin Kuang had helped earlier hurried over. "Father, Father, how are you? Are you alright?" the girl asked, her beautiful eyes red and filled with worry.

"I’m... I’m fine. Zilian, hurry and search his body. He should have the antidote on him," said Tian Botong, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect. His voice was so weak it sounded as if he might die at any moment.

Hearing this, Tian Zilian nodded quickly and rushed to Peng Wanli’s side. She crouched down and began searching his corpse. It didn’t take long for her to find a white Jade Vial.

Upon opening the Jade Vial, she saw it contained black pills the size of mung beans.

"Father, is this it?" Tian Zilian asked urgently as she ran back to Tian Botong’s side.

Tian Botong took the Jade Vial, poured out a single pill into his palm, and examined it closely before sniffing it.

"This should be it. I’ll try it first. If the poison in my body starts to dissipate, then we’ll give the pills to the Elders," Tian Botong said before swallowing the pill in his hand.

Immediately after, Tian Botong sat down cross-legged to rest. All eyes were fixed on him.

In less than a minute, he suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of pitch-black blood. The blood carried an unbearable stench that made those nearby want to retch.

"Father, are you... are you alright? Don’t scare me!" Seeing her father spit up a mouthful of foul-smelling black blood, Tian Zilian panicked. Her lovely face was filled with anxiety, and her beautiful eyes reddened as if she was about to cry.

"I’m fine, I’m fine. That was poisoned blood. This pill is the antidote! Quickly, give it to the Elders," Tian Botong said, opening his eyes with a smile.

As he spoke, his pale face gradually began to regain its healthy color, his condition looking much better than before. Seeing her father’s improved complexion, Tian Zilian finally let her worried heart rest.

She then took the pills and distributed one to each of the four Elders. The Elders didn’t hesitate, each swallowing their pill before sitting down to meditate and regulate their breathing.

A short while later, the four of them opened their mouths almost simultaneously and spewed out a stream of black blood. Once the poisoned blood was expelled, their complexions visibly improved, and the pained expressions on their faces vanished completely.

At this moment, Tian Botong, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, stood up and walked over to Lin Kuan and Pei Yourong.

Clasping his fist in his palm, Tian Botong bowed deeply. "Everyone, thank you for lending your assistance. I, Tian Botong, Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, sincerely thank you all."

Saying this, he gave another deep bow.
