Simultaneously traversing: the pinnacle of all realms

DouDou came closer and carefully observed the three poisonous spiders, her eyes gradually brightening.

"Trying to play with poison in front of me, the divine healer? That's like showing off your limited skills before an expert!"

He looked at Lu Ze: "Can I extract their toxins? Of course, without harming them."

After some discussion, Lu Ze gave a reply: "Yes!"

At Lu Ze's instruction, he rummaged through his medicine box and took out a set of silver needles and several small porcelain bottles. With extremely light and fast movements, he extracted a small amount of venom from the venom sacs of each spider.

The three poisonous spiders remained motionless, letting him do as he pleased.

A moment later, Dou Dou held up a small porcelain bottle, her eyes gleaming: "It's done! This poison is already quite potent, but if we combine it with the medicine I concoct, hehehehehe—"

He chuckled and tossed Lu Ze a box, instructing him to put the Seven-Colored Poison Spider away safely.

He then rummaged through the medicine box and took out several packets of powder, mixing them with spider venom in the process, intending to create a new poison.

"Poison is also medicine. It cannot be used indiscriminately. It must be used in a balanced way, like a principal drug, an assistant drug, and a yin-yang drug."

As DouDou prepared the medicine, she explained it to everyone. Soon after, she held up a bottle of dark green liquid and chuckled.

"This stuff is even more potent than the original spider venom."

He continued, "According to my calculations, once it is dispersed in the air, it will cause poisoning if inhaled or even just comes into contact with the skin. Only those with profound skills can suppress it, and in the end, they will die from the poison."

Sixth Sister-in-law stepped forward and took the poison, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"There are traps in the cemetery that spread poisonous fog," she said. "When the old manor owner designed it, he considered the possibility of being outnumbered."

She led everyone to a stone chamber, in the center of which was a bronze device connected to pipes leading to various parts of the mountain. Sixth Sister poured the poison prepared by Dou Dou into the device and activated the mechanism.

The bronze device emitted a low rumble as the poison flowed through pipes to various ventilation openings in the tomb passage.

-

Outside the tomb passage, Hei Xiaohu waited for a long time, but neither the poisonous spider came out nor did he see any movement inside. His brows furrowed more and more.

"Young Master," Zhu Wujie said cautiously, "please wait a moment longer—"

He suddenly started coughing violently.

Not only him, but the surrounding members of the demonic cult also clutched their throats, their faces turned pale, their bodies went numb, and they collapsed to the ground one after another.

Hei Xiaohu's expression changed drastically. He tried to resist by circulating his internal energy, but he felt a numbing sensation invading his meridians, causing his internal energy to stagnate and his expression to become somewhat dazed.

He possessed profound skills and could barely hold on, but the Thirteen Protectors and Five Elements Ninjas around him were already starting to stagger.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" he shouted, taking the lead in retreating.

The members of the demonic sect scrambled backward, but there were too many poisoned people, and those who could move were dragging those who couldn't, making for a miserable situation.

The poisonous sensation gradually subsided only after they had retreated several dozen feet away.

Black Tiger looked back and saw that several hidden ventilation shafts on the mountain were emitting faint colored mist, which reflected an eerie seven-colored light in the twilight.

He counted the number of people, his face turning ashen.

The Thirteen Protectors and the Five Elements Ninjas were alright; they were still conscious, but their faces were bluish-purple, and it was hard to say how much of their fighting power they still had.

The demonic cult suffered heavy losses, with fewer than thirty members remaining standing. Moreover, almost all of the remaining members were severely poisoned and had clearly lost their fighting ability.

Just then, the stone gate of the cemetery suddenly burst open.

Rainbow Cat stepped out first, his Long Rainbow Sword glowing crimson in the twilight, followed closely by Lu Ze and the others.

Hei Xiaohu stared at the crowd, his pupils slightly contracting.

"You—" he gritted his teeth, "acting so despicably, yet you dare to call yourselves the Seven Heroes!"

Lu Ze laughed and retorted, "What need is there for chivalrous code when dealing with your demonic sect? It's just a pity that this poison didn't kill you all."

Black Tiger's face contorted.

"Very well, very well." He said, emphasizing each word. "Since the poisonous spiders can't do anything to you, then I'll take matters into my own hands."

He roared and unleashed the full power of the Heavenly Demon Chaos Dance Divine Art, his body surging with black energy, making him resemble a demon god.

"Five Elements Ninjas! Thirteen Protectors!" he shouted, "Follow me!"

Golden Leopard and Wooden Mouse, armed with knives and shields, charged forward first, followed closely by the Thirteen Protectors.

Rainbow Cat brandished his Rainbow Sword: "Attack!"

The crowd went to greet them.

The fierce battle resumes.

-

The sky grew completely dark.

Suddenly, dark clouds surged in from all directions, obscuring the stars and moon. A mountain wind arose, causing the trees to whistle.

Black Tiger is indeed amazing. Even though he is heavily poisoned, he can fight two opponents at once and battle Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit alone.

On Rainbow Cat's side, all that could be seen were crimson and blue sword lights clashing and intertwining with black palm shadows in the night sky. Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit's swordplay grew faster and faster, while Black Tiger's palm strikes became heavier and heavier. The three fought from the ground to the mountainside and back again, snapping trees and shattering rocks along the way.

Lu Ze used his lightness skill to rush towards the Thirteen Protectors. While dodging the heavy sword attacks, he twisted his body and struck one of them with palm after another.

It's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten.

With the infusion of internal energy, muffled thuds were heard, and the Thirteen Protectors groaned, blood flowing from under their helmets, clearly injured by the internal energy.

Seeing this, another member of the Thirteen Protectors rushed over with his sword to provide support, and Lu Ze drew his knife.

Every inch shorter is more dangerous. The short knife parried, using the force to guide the blade along the spine of the sword, slicing straight towards the man's chest and abdomen.

Although this knife was not a divine weapon like the Seven Swords, it was still incredibly sharp with the addition of internal energy, and it was able to cut directly into the heavy armor.

A flash of fire, followed by the screeching sound of metal being cut, and blood splattered out.

The thirteen bodyguards who were supposed to come to their aid were almost disemboweled through the armor.

"Be careful! This kid is not easy to deal with!" The man, who had just narrowly escaped death, clutched his chest and abdomen, circulated his internal energy to stop the bleeding, and hurriedly warned him.

The rain poured down, and the rest of the group in the rain became entangled with the demonic cult.

DouDou also implicated several of the Thirteen Protectors.

Sixth Sister-in-law wielded her Water and Fire Cudgel, beating Pig Wujie and several Thirteen Protectors into a frantic retreat. Judging from her stance, she had clearly used the Thunderclap Sword Technique, which she had sworn never to use again—no, the Thunderclap Cudgel Technique.

Sally and Daben were under great pressure, as the Five Elements Ninjas took turns attacking them, and the remaining henchmen were also waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Just then, a bolt of lightning tore through the night sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.

"Heaven is helping me!"

"Hahaha, you little brats of the Demonic Cult, even the heavens can't stand you villains!"

Da Ben stood in the rain, the Thunder Sword held high above his head. The lightning on the sword echoed the lightning in the sky, growing brighter and brighter.

The Thunderclap Sword was forged from natural lodestone, and when it was drawn, it was accompanied by lightning. Now, with the aid of the heavens, its divine power is even more extraordinary.

"Thunderbolt Sword Technique - A Mighty Force!"

He roared and the Thunderclap Sword slashed down fiercely.

A thick bolt of lightning, drawn by the sword's momentum, struck straight down, hitting the fire rhinoceros firing its cannon in the distance. The man didn't even have time to scream before the lightning charred him black, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to rise. Nearby members of the demonic sect were also blasted away.

Da Ben, like a mad tiger, brandished his Thunderclap Sword in the torrential rain, each strike drawing upon the power of heavenly lightning. The lightning raged within the demonic sect's formation, proving utterly invincible.

Wherever the sword energy went, lightning followed, trees snapped, and the land outside the cemetery was cleaved with sword marks.

"That was exhilarating! That was exhilarating!" Da Ben roared to the sky, rain and sweat streaming down his face. "You demonic cult bastards, come on!"

Da Ben fought with increasing ferocity, the lightning on his Thunder Sword growing ever brighter, his entire body enveloped in a layer of pale blue electric light, even the bear fur on his body stood on end.

"Watch out, Da Ben!" Sally shouted from afar, "The power of heavenly lightning must not be misused!"

"What are you afraid of! Today we'll teach these evil cultists a lesson about justice and swift retribution!"
