I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 576 - Five Hundred and Seventy-Two: A Great Defeat
Chapter 576: Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Two: A Great Defeat
“Pfft.” Mi Qing laughed, “Quite young, but quite a big mouth. Let this old ancestor see if your skills are as hard as your words.”
The robe covering the elder suddenly puffed out. His shriveled skin swelled violently, expanding his figure several times over. His veins turned black under his overstretched skin, as if a dark green liquid were flowing in them. The sight was horrific.
The elder, now inflated like a pentagram, laughed freely and exploded. A green mist rushed in all directions, instantly attacking the martial artists of Tang Clan who were surrounding the chariot.
Mi Haitian of the chariot was in tears. He knew that after this move, Mi Qing would be entirely wiped out. He could not let his sacrifice be in vain. Looking at the sky filled with green mist, he fought back the tears, drove the chariot away from the path Mi Qing had provided.
Meanwhile, the response of Tang Clan’s martial artists to the sudden spread of the thick fog was timely. Twelve colossal golden palms unleashed violent winds as soon as they appeared.
Everyone knows that poison fog needs air currents to spread; they did not think the elder’s poison fog would be any different.
What they didn’t realize was that the green mist was not a gas, but a theoretical idea of a poison mist, like a manifested spirit. Ordinary wind couldn’t resist it.
“Use Sky-Picking Hand to form a wall. Block the poison fog and don’t let it spread over!” The Great Elder Tang Siyuan ordered the Martial Ancestors, seeing that the poison fog was extraordinary. He dared not let it touch everyone aimlessly. Mi clan’s old offering’s strike that wiped out his soul would never be dismissed lightly.
Almost as soon as his words fell, twelve golden palms formed an unbroken wall, intending to trap the spreading fog.
The deadly technique Sky-Picking Hand of the Fierce Realm of the Tang Clan was inherently offensive and defensive. When the Martial Ancestors fully applied it, it was as strong as a spiritual armor and even better in terms of scope.
The golden wall formed by the combined force of twelve Martial Ancestors could not be broken even by the attack of the Fierce Realm. But facing the wave of green mist, it utterly failed.
As if specifically corroding the spirit art, the invincible Sky-picking Hand’s golden palms were dissolved the moment they touched the poison mist. Several palms with less advanced cultivation were melted away. The golden wall broke instantly, and the remaining golden palms couldn’t hold back and dissipated in the thick fog in no time.
As the Sky-picking Hands, connected with their spirits, were broken, the Sublime Martial Ancestors let out stifled grunts, suffering minor injuries one after the other.
After melting the golden palms, the poison fog should have significantly lost its spiritual power and should have slowed down. However, instead of weakening, the green fog that broke through the twelve Sky-picking Hands, like gaining nourishment, accelerated again and instantaneously swallowed three Martial Ancestors who were too close to escape from the mist.
Seeing the poison fog about to swallow others, several Martial Ancestors near the scene activated the Xuanji Jade. With the burst of the shifting array, they disappeared from the spot.
The Great Elder Tang Siyuan and Sixth elder Tang Gaomin, carrying the unconscious Tang Luo, quickly retreated. They withdrew a few miles before the green fog finally dissipated.
Several people immediately rushed back to the location of the Martial Ancestors. They only saw three rotten and dilapidated corpses emitting a foul smell.
Just by being swallowed by the green fog, the three Martial Ancestor powerhouses died before even activating the Xuanji Jade. Tang Siyuan frowned, suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness.
Several Martial Ancestors following him also swayed.
“Not good, this smell is poisonous!” Tang Siyuan immediately cut off his sense of smell, but the feeling of weakness in his body grew stronger. With his sharp senses, he could feel that the air he had inhaled from the tip of his nose was wreaking havoc in his body, devouring his spiritual power to strengthen itself. The deeper the newly promoted’s martial arts, the more potent this power would be.
If it weren’t for his own refine gold Innate Qi having restraining powers against the poison fog, he would have passed out by now.
But he was not so lucky to have some Innate Qi for defense, unlike the other Martial Ancestors. The amplitude of sway of the bodies of the remaining Martial Ancestors grew higher, their faces turned greener, and they wobbled and fell.
Tang Siyuan used the Sky-picking Hand while enduring the discomfort, and buried the bodies of the three Martial Ancestors under the ground to block the smell.
After finishing all this, he quickly checked on the unconscious Martial ancestors. He felt that two forces were interweaving and colliding inside them. He hurriedly summoned the refined gold Innate Qi to help them stabilize their situation.
If the tug of war between the two forces continued, it would ruin the entire meridian system of the Martial Ancestors. By then, it would be the greatest loss for the Tang Clan. Healing the Fierce Realm’s body is not easy compared to Mortal shedding. The cost would be too high.
As soon as the Great Elder warned, the sixth Elder Tang Gaomin had taken Tang Luo out a hundred meters away. Seeing Tang Siyuan’s actions at this moment, he asked from a distance, “What’s the situation?”
As the large amount of refined gold Innate Qi drained, Tang Siyuan’s face turned pale. He turned his head and said, “This poison is very powerful. It should be a high-level wood-related spiritual power. The refine gold Innate Qi can only maintain the situation but cannot eradicate it completely.”
Gold curbs wood, and the refined gold Innate Qi is of a not low level of Innate Qi. But even so, it was still helpless against the poison fog. It’s no wonder that the three people were killed as soon as they were engulfed by the green fog and couldn’t resist.
“You take Tang Luo back first. I’ll hide them here and ask the clan to send doctors and sorcerers!” Even though the situation had become extremely critical, Tang Siyuan promptly issued an order.
Tang Gaomin was about to agree when he saw Tang Luo in his arms suddenly wake up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he loudly warned, “Be careful of the sorcerer in the chariot!”
When the chariot appeared, Tang Luo saw a figure through the tussah silk curtain. He wanted to warn everyone to be careful of the brute that was nearing one hundred and fifty thousand in spiritual power. But as he made eye contact with him, he felt dizzy in his head. Then his heart and gallbladder buckled violently, his Sea of Consciousness overturned, and he screamed and fainted.
Although he had fainted, his consciousness was extremely clear and his Sea of Consciousness was very active. He still maintained his introspective state and felt a wisp of spirit attaching itself to him.
Tang Luo, who had a profound understanding of martial arts, immediately realized he was under the advanced sorcery – Soul Shocking Curse.
This spirit was a seed planted by the sorcerer on him. So he pretended to lose consciousness and faint, allowing the sorcerer to seed the soul easily. Then he sacrificed Yin-Yang Grinding and collected the spirit seed planted in his dantian.
Helpless against the high cultivation of the sorcerer, even the Yin-Yang Grinding, which specifically dealt with all kinds of spirits, took a long time to crush it.
The conscious Tang Luo landed and saw the unconscious Martial Ancestors on the ground and the Great Elder with a decayed complexion. He immediately blurted out in shock, “What happened?”
He was unconscious for only half a quarter of an hour. The enemy only had a chariot, the chief Mi Hai, and a sorcerer. How did they defeat his side, Tang Luo was somewhat shocked.
