Chapter 269 Terrifying Poisonous Insects

Wang Jingshu could sense that it seemed to be some kind of small creature.

It was extremely fast and its body gleamed with a metallic sheen.

She had been thinking of her brother because of Cang Que, and for a moment she didn't realize that it had taken advantage of her.

After regaining her senses, Wang Jingshu immediately struck with her sword, her reaction speed equally swift.

To her surprise, the feeling transmitted back from the sword was as if she had struck a piece of metal, and it even produced a clear metallic sound.

But to Wang Jingshu's surprise, even though her sword had already struck the little creature, Cang Que was still attacked.

"Well..."

Cang Que let out a muffled groan.

Stop immediately.

With his other hand, he gripped his wrist tightly.

Wang Jingshu turned her head and saw that Cang Que's right hand was bleeding.

Upon closer inspection, a tiny head was found embedded in the back of his hand, and a visible black aura began to spread along his meridians and flesh towards his arm.

Wang Jingshu was shocked and immediately shouted:

"It's poisonous, quickly use your internal energy to force it out..."

Before Cang Que could even begin to channel his energy, Wang Jing Shu struck again with her sword, precisely plucking the tiny head from the back of Cang Que's hand.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an unknown insect.

Even though it was severed by Wang Jingshu's sword, its head still pierced through Cang Que's protective aura, broke through his martial arts physique, and embedded itself in his flesh.

Wang Jingshu exclaimed in shock:

"What an amazing bug..."

Looking at Cang Que again, he had already begun to exert his full strength.

But that dark aura continued to draw closer step by step.

Cang Que's martial arts aura, comparable to the Nine Heavens, was unable to stop the spreading poison.

Wang Jingshu was shocked once again; such a potent poison was truly rare in the world.

Wang Jingshu's thoughts raced, and she immediately remembered a talisman in the "Complete Collection of Talismans" taught by her master, called the "Ten Thousand Poisons Purification Talisman," which was specifically used to counteract poisons.

However, she did not have any of these talismans on her.

But it doesn't matter, she has the talisman paper, cinnabar, and magic seals needed to draw the talisman.

Wang Jingshu immediately took out a blank purple talisman paper, thought for a moment, picked up her pen and drew it in one stroke, completing it in one go.

Once the seal is applied, the talisman immediately emits a vibrant aura.

Without hesitation, Wang Jingshu affixed the talisman to Cang Que's forehead and chanted the incantation.

The talisman spontaneously combusted, and a green-purple light poured down from the top of Cang Que's head. At the same time, the poison from the venomous insect had already spread from the back of Cang Que's hand to his shoulder.

The moment Cang Que came into contact with the power of the talisman, his body trembled, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

The two forces seemed to have turned Cang Que's body into a battlefield, and began to fight fiercely.

The toxicity has finally been suppressed.

However, Wang Jingshu discovered that even with her cultivation level, which was just one step away from forming her core, the talisman she drew still couldn't completely eliminate the toxin.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that the poison had penetrated deep into Cang Que's bone marrow and seeped into his meridians and flesh.

"Such a potent poison..."

Wang Jingshu looked solemn and somewhat incredulous.

Even her purifying talisman couldn't remove the poison; perhaps only her master could offer any hope of curing it.

However, Wang Jingshu has no idea where her master is right now, and most importantly, she doesn't want to bother him through the jade talisman.

Wang Jingshu pondered for a moment and decided to try again.

So he drew three more talismans in one go: the Rejuvenation Talisman, the Heavenly Healer Talisman, and the Purification Talisman.

After using the three talismans in succession, Cang Que's vitality became even stronger than before he was poisoned.

Cang Que also sensed the changes in his body and stopped circulating his energy.

"Thank you so much, Master Jinghong, for saving my life."

Cangque bowed and said.

Wang Jingshu, however, remained frowning and spoke in a serious tone:

"The poison hasn't been neutralized yet..."

Cang Que glanced at the back of his hand, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

He had long heard that the Desolate Ancient Mountains were extremely dangerous, and even a celestial being might not be able to leave if they ventured in.

I never expected to encounter such terrifying poisonous insects so soon after entering.

Cang Que ran his hand over the Qiankun bag at his waist, and a small jade bottle appeared in his hand. He poured out a pill from the bottle and threw it into his mouth.

"This is a specially made antidote pill from my Qingyun Sword Sect. I hope it will be of some use."

Wang Jingshu sighed softly. It wasn't that she looked down on the Qingyun Sword Sect's antidote pills; she only glanced at them and knew that these pills were no match for the Ten Thousand Poisons Purification Talisman, so naturally they were useless against the toxins in Cang Que's body.

Sure enough, after taking the antidote pill, Cang Que carefully examined his body and found that the toxins were still attached to his flesh and bone marrow and had not been cleared.

Moreover, the poison was spreading at a slow pace; if it weren't for the power of the Myriad Poisons Purification Talisman within him, the spread would have been extremely rapid.

Cang Que gave a bitter laugh and said helplessly:

"I never imagined that this desolate mountain range would be so dangerous."

Wang Jingshu frowned, somewhat hesitant.

Cang Que thought she was worried about him, and he felt a little happy.

"Master Jinghong, there's no need to worry. There's always a way out. I'm sure there will be one."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingshu looked up into Cang Que's eyes and asked:

"Do you know of any other way to detoxify yourself?"

Cang Que was secretly pleased and nodded:

"I might not be able to do it myself, but if I can go to Celestial City, there should be a way."

"Celestial City is a magnificent city located outside the Hongyu Sacred Realm, where the Hongyu Imperial Clan resides. Given my status, I should be qualified to enter the Hongyu Sacred Realm if I wish to visit the Hongyu Imperial Clan."

"I'll ask the experts from the Imperial Clan to help me detoxify. It shouldn't be a problem. At worst, I'll have to pay a price."

Wang Jingshu thought for a moment and nodded:

"Okay, let's give it a try at Celestial City."

"For the next period of time, you must not use your inner energy. I will take you to Celestial City."

If it can be resolved without disturbing the master, that would be the best.

If even after reaching Tianxiang City and entering the Hongyu Sacred Realm, the poison still cannot be cured, Wang Jingshu will have no choice but to ask her master for help.

Cang Que felt a surge of secret joy at the thought that Wang Jingshu was going to take him to Tianxiang City.

Suddenly I realized that getting poisoned wasn't such a bad thing after all.

"By the way, no matter what happens next, don't be reckless."

"I need to tell you that in the face of a crisis, my strength is definitely greater than yours, understand?"

Wang Jingshu gave her further instructions.

The same principle applies to the poisonous insect earlier; it had a jade talisman left by its master, making it immune to all evil spirits.

Even if she was distracted at the time, the poisonous insect could not have harmed her.

Unexpectedly, Cang Que interfered and was thus poisoned.

Wang Jingshu couldn't say anything about this unnecessary effort, since the other party was indeed trying to save him.

Although she didn't want to blame him, Wang Jingshu felt it was necessary to give him a few words of advice and tell him not to overreach.
