Chapter 443: Chapter 297: Crushing Victory, The Might of the Remnant Wraith, Shocking All With the Demons

The beautiful companions shone even more brightly, dazzling eyes, making them dizzy and confused.

Zhao Lei initially thought to resist, but after being hit several times, her face turned horrified. Each strike was enough to claim her life; her poison skills, insect skills, and palm techniques were unable to withstand this Martial Arts.

Her eyes were shrouded by ghosts, unable to see where Li Xian stood. Since childhood, she possessed an inexplicable pride, which was now shattered, transformed into deep fear. Suddenly she screamed, her mind fleeing, escaping in panic, rushing off the arena.

Li Xian cultivated murderous intent, yet did not pursue, asking: "Chief Shi, who won this battle?"

Shi Yufei delightedly replied: "It’s you, of course." Li Xian said: "Then according to the agreement, how should Zeng Xiaoke be dealt with? Shouldn’t it be for me to decide?"

Shi Yufei said: "All her treasures should go to you. If anyone disagrees, come talk to me about it."

Li Xian said: "Alright then, I will now go and kill this woman." Shi Yufei nodded in agreement, secretly glancing at Hao Qingshe, knowing Li Xian spoke bluntly to seek Shi Yufei’s help in keeping an eye on Hao Qingshe.

Li Xian lightly whispered to Nangong Liuli: "You head back to Cyan Ox Residence first." Nangong Liuli nodded in agreement.

Zhao Lei was utterly defeated on the spot, excessively terrified. Her inexplicable pride was without basis, and dispersing it was truly simple. She merely needed to meet a true master who would utterly defeat her and completely scatter it.

Even if she possessed high Martial Arts, she would fall back into the mire. Zhao Lei practiced poison skills since her martial start, never having been defeated. She was adept in applying poisons, defeating others silently and invisibly.

Today, she duels with Li Xian in an arena. Exhausting her means, yet unable to affect anything. Later, as her mind was fragile, she was terrified by the Broken Demon Spear, her heart and liver shattered. During her escape, she even forgot to utilize Lightweight Skill.

She ran straight back to her residence, curled up in a corner of the room. Her face was terrifyingly pale. Li Xian tracked her back, the tip of the spear pressed against Zhao Lei’s throat. Zhao Lei smelled death and begged desperately, showcasing her disgrace, even claiming the two had no hatred between them, prattling about her tragic past and plight, all in an attempt to plead for a chance to live.

Li Xian knew this woman was inherently vicious and ruthless, so he decisively stabbed her with the spear. Zhao Lei resisted close to death, attempting to unleash her poison skills. But she was already powerless to return to heaven and died under the spear.

Li Xian thought to himself: "This woman’s nature is immature, meeting Hao Qingshe is the sole reason for her achievements. And though she doesn’t die by my hand today, she will certainly die by another’s hand someday."

Using the "Heart Fire" trait, coupled with "Vomiting Blood Scripture," he spat out red blood fire, incinerating the corpse entirely. Having practiced poison skills, Zhao Lei soaked in poisonous baths daily, resulting in toxins permeating her whole body. After her death, her skin swelled, and when burned, a "poof" sound emitted yellow-green pus, spreading a layer of toxic gas.

After the corpse was incinerated, a layer of poison remained around.

Li Xian breathed out white mist, dissolving the poisonous liquid. Suddenly, he heard strange sounds like "uh, uh" and "cough, cough"... emanating from the inner courtyard. He quickly went to investigate and saw, amid the blood-necked tree, six human bowls hanging, trembling vehemently.

But as their tongues were severed and throats hoarsened, they could not utter a sound at all.

It turned out...

These six tragic human bowls each suffered Zhao Lei’s torture, used for cultivating poisonous bugs. And after Zhao Lei’s death, the poisonous insects had an indiscernible sense among themselves, plunging into chaos, biting wildly. They endured pain, naturally twisting and struggling.

But unable to hear, they did not know what was happening.

Li Xian thought: "Zhao Lei truly deserves to die, so ruthless are her methods. Among these people, four women and two men... to endure such torment as she inflicted is unimaginable. She once said she would make me a human bowl, surely her intention was similar. I ended her with one spear, truly too lenient!"

"They suffer so deeply, in the end, pitiful beyond measure. If I have the ability, I will do my utmost to help them escape the sea of suffering!"

Immediately setting eyes to examine, seeking a solution. These numerous poison insects burrowed through skin and flesh, deeply concealed within, nesting intricately, ordinary means proving extremely difficult to grasp.

And these human bowls had limbs severed, bodies riddled with wounds, blood oozing profusely. Their appearances were frightening; should they die in such a state, it would seemingly be better. Li Xian did not think too much but employed the "Vertical Cloud Hand’s" Cloud Exploration style.

These poisonous insects had hooks within their gripping legs. Directly pulling them would tear off a large patch of flesh. "Cloud Exploration" aimed for lightness; by pinching with his fingers, pulling slightly, the poison insects were removed before they noticed. Li Xian gently exerted force, swiftly crushing the poisonous insects to death.

Soon, most of the poisonous insects were caught.

A few remaining poisonous insects were still burrowed deeply within the flesh, continuously frustrating attempts. Li Xian thought: "This method of luring insects, it might be hidden in the house." Hence he entered to search.

Soon he found the method of luring insects. Following what it described, he led the deeply hidden poisonous insects out of the flesh and pinched them with his fingers, drawing them from the bodies. Li Xian was privately shocked; the six human forms had cultivated nearly a thousand centipedes. Some were as fine as hair, others as thick as fingers...

Suddenly, one person trembled intensely, their breath ceased, and thus died. Immediately followed by the second, third, and fourth persons, all trembling intensely, dying on the spot.

It turns out... they, having endured suffering, suddenly felt their bodies no longer bitten by insects, sensing immense relief, their minds relaxed, causing their deaths this way.
