Liver penetrates martial arts, instantly becoming a saint.

Chapter 298 A crushing victory, the vengeful spirit displays its power, demons and monsters alike astonish everyone.

After the dancers had all gracefully retreated to the sidelines, Ambassador Shi announced in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, the grand banquet has now come to an end. However, there is still one unresolved matter that needs to be settled here. If you wish to watch the excitement, you are welcome to stay."

This matter had been brewing for a long time. Everyone already knew about it and was secretly excited, so no one left and all looked at Chief Envoy Shi. Nangong Liuli felt slightly nervous, but seeing Li Xian's calm and composed demeanor, she felt relieved.

Ambassador Shi said, "A little over a month ago, there was a grand event at the Water Altar, which I'm sure everyone has heard about. On that day, Hua Wucuo, the rising star of the Flower Cage Sect, won the championship without question."

The disciples all nodded, and a noisy discussion ensued. Those in the know recounted the events, how Li Xian had emerged as a dark horse, how he had won, and how formidable he was. Those unaware listened with rapt attention, their expressions filled with astonishment. Occasionally, comments like "Our Flower Cage Sect has grown strong!" and "Who says our Flower Cage Sect has no talents?" were uttered. They all regarded him as a role model and elected him the Great Flower Thief.

The deeds of these flower thieves are naturally despicable and shameless. They have a terrible reputation in the martial arts world, so the fact that such a figure has suddenly emerged in their sect makes them feel quite proud and honored.

Upon hearing this, Li Xian felt a strange unease and sighed, "It seems my reputation as a thief is about to be confirmed." Nangong Liuli blushed slightly and said, "You're no better than the average thief." She then added, half worried and half gloating, "But you'll have to use an alias when you go out in the future. Otherwise, you'll definitely be hacked to death."

Ambassador Shi continued, "However, that grand event was not without its flaws. One of the matches was between Hua Wucuo and Zeng Xiaoke, the disciple of Elder Hao Qingshe. Although Hua Wucuo won, Elder Hao Qingshe remained skeptical, which led to an unpleasant scene."

"I mediated and decided that the young people should resolve their own affairs. We will choose another time to have another match. However, a private contest would not be convincing to everyone, and this matter concerns the fairness of the sect rules and the final result of the grand event. It would be inappropriate for me to make a decision on my own. So let us take this opportunity, with everyone here, to act as witnesses and see who wins and who loses on that day."

His words were calm, but they concealed a sharp edge, putting both Hao Qingshe and himself in a precarious position. If Li Xian won, Hao Qingshe's unreasonable behavior would be proven true, and he would lose face in front of many elders. If Zhao Lei won, Shi Yufei's bias would be proven true.

Zhao Lei was already excited, feeling confident that she would win immediately if she made a move. She cupped her hands and said, "Chief Envoy Shi, there are some things that need to be clarified before we begin."

Shi Yufei said calmly, "You speak."

Zhao Lei said, "According to the bet we made that day, if I win, what should he do?" She pointed at Li Xian.

Shi Yufei said, "Do whatever you want with him." Zhao Lei smiled and asked, "What about his concubines?"

Shi Yufei said, "It's up to you to handle it."

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "That would be perfect. I hope Chief Envoy Shi will abide by the agreement and not show favoritism." Her words were contemptuous of Li Xian and disdainful of Chief Envoy Shi. This man was extremely ignorant of propriety, and the surrounding elders all secretly shook their heads.

She pointed and gestured several times. Li Xian remained calm and composed, sipping a cup of tea before asking, "Senior Green Serpent, I also have some matters I need to confirm with you."

Hao Qingshe narrowed her eyes slightly but remained silent. Li Xian said, "Since you've repeatedly asked for fairness, then let's see it through to the end. If I lose, I'll let her do as she pleases. But if I win... and if I want to take her life, I beg Senior Qingshe, please don't blame me."

He gradually revealed his sharp edge, his eyes fixed directly on Hao Qingshe. He didn't care about Zhao Lei or anything like that.

He thought further, "Hao Qingshe and I are no longer compatible; we can no longer coexist on the same island. Today I must kill Zeng Xiaoke. Since that's the case, I'll escalate the conflict. If I can incite Hao Qingshe to attack me, I can provoke Chief Envoy Shi into making a decision to expel Hao Qingshe. Even if Chief Envoy Shi refuses to expel Hao Qingshe, I'll use this as an excuse to leave the Water Altar and avoid this venomous snake!"

Hao Qingshe said, "You brat, you've become quite bold for not killing me back then. Did I give you permission to speak to me like this?"

Shi Yufei stared intently at him, his aura locking onto him.

Hao Qingshe knew there were many people here, and with everyone blocking his way, it would be difficult to succeed even if he took action. He coldly said, "Good disciple, go and capture this boy. Let's see how long he can be so arrogant."

Zhao Lei gracefully leaped into the martial arts arena. The arena was adorned with red silk, and the spacious grounds offered a wide view, allowing the elders at the tables and the disciples at the round tables to clearly see the details of the arena.

Li Xian polished his Peach Blossom Spear and held the Sunken River Sword at his waist. He rose from the prayer mat, his long hair moving without wind, a striking red mole between his brows. He walked slowly towards the stage, and everyone secretly marveled at his extraordinary handsome appearance. The beautiful women, confined to their homes and often alone in their empty chambers, were even more moved. They all silently cheered in admiration.

Nangong Liuli raised an eyebrow as she drank, a hint of pride in her expression. She thought to herself, "This brat can be quite intimidating when he gets serious."

The Peach Blossom Spear was crimson, its tip sharp, and its length perfectly suited to his body. Li Xian's breathing was even; though confident and domineering, he was by no means dismissive. His gaze was fixed on Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei thought to herself, "I suffered a loss when you ambushed me last time. Today, I will be careful in the arena, so you will not be able to ambush me again. With your martial arts skills, how can you defeat me?" Seeing Li Xian step onto the arena, she seemed to have already won the victory.

There was no idle talk between the two. After a short pause, they were already exchanging blows. Li Xian slammed his spear into the ground with a loud thud, shaking the arena and sending dust flying four inches off the ground. The force of this blow astonished even the onlookers, including Hao Qingshe.

He attacked head-on, abandoning his spear. He then unleashed the "Azure Waves Raging" move from the "Azure Palm." In their previous encounter on the street, before Li Xian could even exchange blows with Zhao Lei, he was stopped by Chief Envoy Shi and Tang Feng. His opening with this move serves as a connection to the previous scene.

Zhao Lei was extremely arrogant. She looked down on her opponent and naturally used her "Poisonous Palm" to fight back. This time, when their palms collided, no one stopped them. With a loud "thud," waves of energy swept outwards.

Zhao Lei screamed in agony, thrown back and tumbling. Her right hand, which had met Li Xian's palm strike, was bent and hung limply at her sides. Her entire body, flesh and blood, was filled with the immense force; she suddenly felt dizzy, unsteady on her feet, and a sweet taste rose in her throat. Though of humble origins, her fate had been fortunate. Overly arrogant, she failed to see her own weaknesses and her opponent's strengths, truly a foolish character.

Li Xian used the same trick again, starting with the Azure Palm. She also used the same trick, but Li Xian already knew that her "Poisonous Killing Palm" had a strangling palm energy. However, she was unaware that Li Xian's Azure Palm had a surging and powerful palm force.

When the flying leaves came, Li Xian controlled them with ease. This skill was already quite impressive; if she were smart, she should have been alerted much sooner. Unfortunately, she was incredibly foolish. Little did she know that beyond the contest of martial arts, there were many other calculations and schemes hidden within that seemingly simple palm strike.

The grand words turned into a agonizing wail. Zhao Lei was in pain, but Hao Qingshe's face was also barely holding on. Zhao Lei was now filled with fear, so she turned and fled, taking several steps to clear a distance. She held her breath and gave a jolt, and from the pores of her body, a five-colored poisonous mist emanated, protecting her entire body.

This is the "Colorful Clouds Fairy Robe Technique." It is a lower-level martial art, designed to disperse poison as if draped in a fairy robe, beautiful and exquisite. However, it is an extremely dangerous martial art. When practicing it, one must bathe in poisonous water, and after years of immersion, poison vesicles will grow under the skin. This time, her mist spread extremely widely in an instant.

Li Xiandu lit a stove and began to cook and purify the air. He then used the "Wind Breath" martial art to blow the pure air like a whirlwind. The white mist instantly dissipated the poisonous fog. Zhao Lei hurriedly fled, rolling around the arena, trying several times to spread the strange poison and use the Rainbow Clouds Immortal Robe skill, but the poison was neutralized by the pure air before it could leave her body.

Elder Tang Wenshu of the Earth Altar exclaimed in surprise, "How strange! What kind of martial art is this, that it's so powerful?"

Shi Yufei stroked his beard and laughed, "Wu Cuo is a rising star of the Flower Cage Sect, so naturally he has some self-defense methods. This child is calm and composed, unlike any other scoundrel."

Yan Hao exclaimed, "Wu Cuo is indeed a talented individual. Not only is his martial arts talent remarkable, but his Five Elements Escape Technique is also quite commendable. If any of you elders are interested, you can get to know him better by meeting him."

The elders of the altar whispered among themselves, discussing the matter animatedly.

Hao Qingshe frowned, his face contorted with embarrassment. He thought to himself, "What kind of trick is Zhao Lei playing? She's quite strong, so how come she's already showing signs of defeat? I deliberately made this a big event, not to embarrass myself!" His expression was awkward.

When she first saw the white mist, she found it strange, as it could neutralize her poison. She initially thought that although the mist was peculiar, it must be caused by some kind of miraculous antidote, but upon closer inspection, she realized that was definitely not the case.

Zhao Lei trembled with cold sweat. Her attempts to poison him had failed miserably. She had initially intended to humiliate Li Xian in every way possible, hoping to turn him into a human vessel. But after just one exchange, she was already utterly defeated.

She gritted her teeth, thinking, "I cultivate poison arts, and I'm not good at qi or physical strength. It's nothing that I'm at a disadvantage in a palm strike; he's the one who benefited. Humph, his ability to exhale white mist and dispel poison gas must be due to that old man Shi's favoritism. He must have given him some kind of treasure beforehand that can ward off poison mist. He's holding it in his mouth, putting on airs—utterly despicable!"

He immediately tried another move, his body shuddering as the four-winged centipede pounced. This centipede was quite special; it carried potent venom and could pass through rocks and crevices, making it difficult to defend against even with defensive martial arts. Moreover, this centipede moved swiftly and agilely, its speed extremely fast, making it impossible to guard against.

Suddenly emerging from the ground, it lunged straight at Li Xian's face. Li Xian's double pupils possessed extraordinary power. He had already observed everything closely, and immediately raised his spear to thrust it forward. Sparks flew, and the centipede hissed in pain.

The centipede's scales were tough, which was indeed beyond Li Xian's expectations. Although he injured it, he was unable to kill it with a single blow.

Zhao Lei possessed exceptional poison skills. Her strength and abilities were not weak, but she was hampered by the white mist, making it difficult to utilize them effectively. Seeing that the four-winged centipede was unharmed within the white mist, she knew her "Insect Technique" could be used. She deduced that Li Xian possessed a treasure capable of countering poison, and her heart filled with a frenzied rage. She immediately unleashed a barrage of poisonous insects, determined to achieve victory.

Poisonous cockroaches, moths, spiders, snakes… many poisonous insects are living creatures and do not belong to the “impure” air, so the “pure air” is naturally useless to them. Zhao Lei went to great lengths; her sleeves were wide, but in theory, it would be difficult to hide thousands of poisonous insects.

But with a single wave of her sleeve, hundreds or even thousands of poisonous insects appeared. It was terrifying; with continuous waving of her sleeves, the insects crawled all over the arena. This was related to the 'Insect-Derived Poison Scripture' she had learned. This poison technique was extremely complex, but it allowed poisonous insects to reproduce and mate on the spot. They could then multiply from one to two, from two to three, creating a sense of endlessness.

Zhao Lei's chest heaved with a thunderous roar, causing the poison to spread rapidly. It surrounded Li Xian from all directions, creating a scene that seemed to blot out the sky. The disciples outside the arena felt their scalps tingle and goosebumps rise. Swarms of poisonous moths covered the area like dark clouds. Some crawled on the ground, others flew in the sky, leaving no way to escape.

Ambassador Shi frowned slightly. Although he didn't like Zhao Lei, she was indeed quite remarkable.

Li Xian spat out his blood essence, staining the tip of his spear. The spear tip instantly burst into flames. Li Xian used the spear as a pen and his blood as ink, drawing a circle on the spot. The raging flames burned fiercely, and poisonous insects crawled into the fire, only to be scorched black. However, the insects were too numerous and too large, and the poisonous moths scattered poisonous powder, drifting and falling everywhere.

Relying entirely on blood and fire, it was extremely difficult to deal with them all. Li Xian remained calm and composed, concealing his Qi within his 'Pure Qi Robe', and then unleashing his inner Qi. With a muffled 'hum,' an invisible wave rippled out, killing countless poisonous insects, while Li Xian remained unharmed.

The experienced elders, including Chief Envoy Shi, exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming. They all thought of the "Pure Qi Robe," but dared not make a conclusion. This turbid robe was extremely rare; how could it be encountered so easily? Perhaps there was another martial art that had a similar effect?

Li Xian's body trembled several times, and no matter how many poisonous insects there were, they could not get close to him. The poisonous insects multiplied and seemed to have an endless supply of life, but no matter how many there were, Li Xian could kill them all with a shake of his clothes.

Zhao Lei's ruthlessness was already rising, her ferocity was already ignited, and her teeth were clenched tightly. Although the Insect-Derived Poison Scripture could make poisonous insects multiply and thrive, if too many insects multiplyed, her control would weaken. At that time, her insect-based skills would fail, and the poisonous insects would scatter and fly everywhere, making it even more difficult to win.

Li Xian observed calmly. He also noticed this anomaly: the poisonous insects, once revealed, indeed swarmed everywhere, sweeping across the land. At the same time, they were incredibly precise, like a poisonous spider crawling down the ground, intending to attack a person's lower body. But suddenly, it spit out spider silk, wrapping itself around a moth, lifting it up, and then abruptly leaping at the person's face.

Order is hidden within chaos, and there are changes between reality and illusion.

Furthermore, it employs feints and diversions, employing tactics that involve attacking from the left and right...

The attacks of the poisonous insects subtly aligned with the principles of martial arts. However, human martial arts are concentrated in the body, in the hands and feet. These principles, on the other hand, are dispersed among the poisonous insects. But Li Xian's repeated use of the "Shaking Clothes" technique resulted in heavy casualties among the insects. Their subsequent offspring, however, lost this understanding of martial arts principles, transforming into a chaotic and insignificant attack.

After several stalemates, Li Xian appeared to be at a disadvantage, but in reality, he held the upper hand and was completely at ease. Zhao Lei, seeing his abundant inner energy, knew that she could not delay any longer. She immediately began to play "ethereal immortal music," and upon hearing the music, the poisonous insects retreated like a tide, crawling back onto her body.

She controlled insects with the ease of her own hands and feet. With unparalleled skill, she immediately unleashed the "Ten Thousand Spider Whip" martial art. Countless poisonous spiders spun and intertwined their silk, forging a long whip. Her qi followed the whip's movement, making its killing power quite formidable.

Li Xian wielded a long spear, its tip tinged with fire. With a few swift thrusts, he shattered the Thousand Spider Whip. Zhao Lei, already on the verge of defeat, stubbornly resisted. Using the poisonous insects covering her body, she engaged Li Xian in close combat.

They exchanged blows, fists and feet. Her poisonous insects sometimes obscured her vision, sometimes slashed left and right. Her movements were truly exquisite, but Li Xian possessed the "Pure Qi Robe," making it extremely difficult for poisonous insects and beasts to get close. She parried and dealt with them with ease.

Zhao Lei's eyes were filled with resentment. She thought that if it weren't for Chief Envoy Shi's favoritism in giving Li Xian the poison-avoiding treasure, she could have easily won with her poison skills alone. She had exhausted all her tricks, while Li Xian was only just beginning to show her prowess.

Knowing she was about to lose, Zhao Lei cried out in a daze, "Chief Envoy Shi, this is unfair!"

Li Xian was quite surprised, thinking, "This woman is confused after seeing her defeat; her skills are hardly enough to make her so arrogant. But Hao Qingshe is also present. If I kill her while she's speaking, Hao Qingshe will seize the opportunity to attack, and this matter will never end. I need to win decisively." He kicked her in the side of the face, sending her flying several feet. He then sheathed his gun and retreated.

Shi Yufei was taken aback and said, "The duel in the arena has been witnessed by everyone. How did you come up with the idea that it was unfair?"

Zhao Lei shouted angrily, "If you hadn't given this brat a poison-avoiding treasure beforehand, he would have been defeated by me long ago! Chief Envoy Shi, you're being unfair!"

Shi Yufei said, "You are truly a rare woman. When did I bestow any treasure upon him? What kind of poison-avoiding treasure? I have never heard of it before."

Zhao Lei questioned, "How could his exhaled white mist neutralize my poison? How do you explain this?" Shi Yufei replied, "Why should I explain to you? This is Wu Cuo's own opportunity, whether it's a treasure or a skill. Besides... Wu Cuo already used this move during the grand gathering. Did I already show favoritism towards him then?"

Zhao Lei shouted, "I refuse to accept this! Master, please do justice for me!"

Hao Qingshe's eyes flickered as she saw Zhao Lei's unreasonable arguments and complete lack of martial arts demeanor. Although she was eccentric and indifferent to human life, she couldn't save face. The fact that all the elders were looking at her made her feel even more humiliated.

Li Xian originally wanted to hear what Zhao Lei had to say, but she was spouting such sophistry. He said, "Zeng Xiaoke, since you're so unconvinced, then watch closely. If I really wanted to defeat you, you wouldn't even be able to use your poison skills. Why would you need some kind of poison-avoiding treasure?"

The words had barely left his lips when a chilling aura enveloped the surroundings, and Li Xian's figure was shrouded in a cold, eerie atmosphere. The mournful cries of ghosts drifted over. Zhao Lei suddenly felt a shiver run through her body, as if she were blinded by a ghost. She felt Li Xian's figure vanish, and then a sharp pain shot through her right arm as a long spear pierced through it.

Li Xian said, "This is [panic]." His spear technique was so fast that it was invisible. In an instant, he fired hundreds of shots. Although each shot was not fatal, it had the effect of frightening gods and ghosts.

Each shot sent gusts of wind through the air, causing the red ribbons adorning the arena to flutter wildly. The Red Sleeve Stage, originally a place for music and dance, was now also a place for music and dance. But the music played was ghostly, and the dance performed was ghostly.

In that instant… it seemed as if demons were dancing wildly in the arena. Fiends and monsters, rampant and evil.

Shi Yufei and Yan Hao both stood up, their expressions excited, and said, "Great! Great! It hasn't been that long... and the flawless Remnant Spear has improved again!"

Faced with the "Broken Demon Spear," Zhao Lei had no chance to resist. Li Xian's panic was enough to kill her, but it only wounded her flesh and did not take her life.

He saw the unyielding glint in Zhao Lei's eyes. He also knew that this woman was vicious by nature, arrogant to the heavens, but in reality, she lacked the ability. He then unleashed a series of ghostly spear techniques, including "Remnant Crow and Defeated Moon" and "Crimson Wraith Playing in the Water."

The disciples of the Flower Cage Sect, who were waiting nearby, had never seen such martial arts before. For a moment, they were inexplicably excited and began to cheer and dance wildly like demons and monsters, shouting and yelling.

When Li Xian wielded his spear, he possessed a truly awe-inspiring presence, as if he could move the wind and clouds, and control the heavens and earth. His movements were incredibly captivating, his spirit and demeanor fully displayed in the spear's power. The elders of the earth altar were all amazed. Shi Yufei stroked his beard and smiled, while Yan Hao drank his wine and nodded. Ye Cheng leaned forward, and Meng Han spilled his wine...

The beautiful women and ladies were even more dazzled and dizzy.

Zhao Lei initially tried to resist, but after being shot several times, her face turned horrified. Each shot was enough to kill her; no amount of poison, insect techniques, or palm strikes could withstand this martial art.

Her eyes were blinded by a ghost, making it impossible for her to see where Li Xian was. She had always possessed an unfounded arrogance, which was now shattered into deep fear. Suddenly, she screamed in terror, her mind racing, and fled from the arena.

Li Xian, harboring murderous intent, did not pursue the enemy but instead asked, "General Envoy Shi, who will win this battle?"

Shi Yufei exclaimed happily, "Of course it's you!" Li Xian said, "Then, according to the agreement, how to deal with Zeng Xiaoke should be decided by me?"

Shi Yufei said, "Her treasures are all yours. Anyone who has any objections should come and discuss this with me in detail."

Li Xian said, "Very well, this disciple will now go and kill this woman." Shi Yufei nodded in agreement, secretly glancing at Hao Qingshe. He knew that Li Xian was being frank and wanted Shi Yufei's help to keep an eye on Hao Qingshe.

Li Xianchao whispered to Nangong Liuli, "Go back to Qingniu Residence first." Nangong Liuli nodded.

Zhao Lei was utterly defeated and terrified. Her unwarranted arrogance came without reason, and dissipating it would be simple. All she needed to do was encounter a truly powerful opponent who could decisively defeat her and completely shatter her spirit.

Even with her superior martial arts skills, she would eventually fall back to square one. However, Zhao Lei, who specializes in poison techniques, has never suffered a defeat since she began practicing martial arts. She is adept at using poison and always defeats her opponents silently.

Today, he fought Li Xian in the arena. He used every means at his disposal, but could not gain the slightest advantage. Later, in a moment of mental fragility, he was terrified by the Broken Demon Spear. When he fled, he even forgot to use his lightness skill.

She rushed back to the mansion and huddled in a corner of the room, her face deathly pale. Li Xian returned, the tip of his gun pressed against Zhao Lei's throat. Zhao Lei sensed death and pleaded desperately, displaying her most shameful side. She claimed there was no hatred between them, even recounting her tragic past and the hardships she had endured, all to beg for her life.

Knowing this woman was inherently vicious and cruel, Li Xian decisively stabbed her with his spear. Zhao Lei, on the verge of death, resisted, attempting to unleash her poisonous skills. But it was too late; she died under the spear.

Li Xian thought to himself, "This woman's character is flawed; she only achieved this because of Hao Qingshe. Even if she doesn't die at my hands, she will surely die at someone else's hands one day."

Using the "Heart Fire" technique, combined with the "Blood Spit Technique," he spewed crimson blood and fire, burning the corpse to ashes. Zhao Lei practiced poison arts, soaking in poison baths daily, so the poison had long since permeated her entire body. After death, her skin and flesh swelled up, and after being burned open, a "splat" sounded as yellow-green pus oozed out, releasing a layer of poisonous gas.

After the body was burned, a layer of venom remained around it.

Li Xian exhaled white mist, neutralizing the poison. Just then, strange noises such as "uh-uh" and "cough-cough" came from the inner courtyard. He quickly went to investigate and found six human vessels hanging from the Blood Neck Tree, trembling violently.

But because his tongue was cut off and his throat was hoarse, he could not utter a single sound.

original……

These six tragic human vessels were all tortured by Zhao Lei and used to cultivate poisonous insects. After Zhao Lei died, the poisonous insects seemed to sense each other and went into a frenzy, biting and thrashing about. They suffered greatly, naturally twisting and struggling.

But because he could not hear, he did not know what was happening.

Li Xian thought to himself, "Zhao Lei truly deserves to die; her methods are so cruel. Among these people are four women and two men… the suffering they endured from her torment is unimaginable. She once said she wanted to turn me into a human vessel; this must be what she meant. Killing her with a single shot was far too lenient on her!"

"His suffering is utterly pitiful. If I have the ability, I will do my best to help them escape this sea of ​​misery!"

They immediately began to observe and seek solutions. These numerous poisonous insects pierced through the skin and flesh, hiding deep within the blood and flesh, making them extremely difficult to capture using ordinary methods.

These people had their hands and feet severed, their bodies riddled with bloody holes, dripping with blood. Their appearance was horrifying; it seemed better for them to die. Li Xian didn't think too much about it and used the "Cloud-Soaring Hand" technique, specifically the "Cloud-Piercing Retrieval" move.

These venomous insects have barbs hidden in their legs. Pulling them directly would tear off a large piece of flesh. "Retrieving from the Clouds" is all about lightness; with a pinch and a lift of his fingers, the venomous insect is caught before it even realizes it. Li Xian then applies a little more force and crushes the insect to death.

Soon, most of the poisonous insects had been caught.

Several poisonous insects remained, burrowing deep into the flesh, but to no avail. Li Xian thought, "Perhaps this method of attracting insects is hidden in the house." So he went into the house and searched.

He quickly found a method to lure the worms. Following the method, he drew the poisonous insects from deep within his flesh, then pinched them with his fingers and pulled them out of his body. Li Xian felt a chill run down his spine; six human bodies could support nearly a thousand centipedes. Some were as thin as a hair, others as thick as a finger…

Suddenly, one person trembled violently, stopped breathing, and died. Then came the second, the third, the fourth... all of them trembled violently and died on the spot.

It turns out that... after enduring suffering, they suddenly felt no more insect bites all over their bodies, felt a great sense of relief, and their minds relaxed, and that's how they died.
