Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 69 Poisoning: Eleven Nine Heavenly Centipedes Die Simultaneously

They swayed their bodies, swimming swiftly across the sea like dragonflies skimming the water. Using his mental power, Ji Wuming could already see eleven Nine Heavens Centipedes rushing towards him through the poisonous barrier.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Judging from this situation, these soul beasts are not easy to fool. However, the fact that the 10-year-old Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede did not come in person is the best news."

Ji Wuming smashed the remaining 20-odd small porcelain bottles on the ground one by one, and more than 20 black and red poisonous barriers spread rapidly, completely mixing with the previous poisonous miasma.

Within two minutes, the eleven Nine Heavens Centipedes arrived at the small island where Ji Wuming was. The soul beasts surrounding the poison barrier parted to make way for them, lowering their noble soul beast heads.

The sixth brother twisted his centipede body and let out a hiss towards the sky, indicating that he was quite satisfied with these soul beasts.

Suddenly, the eleven Nine Heavens Centipedes revealed their true power, their soul power fluctuations reaching their peak. Led by the sixth brother, they quickly charged in.

The eight thousand-year-old Nine Heavens Centipedes felt extremely comfortable as soon as they stepped into the poison barrier, and immediately began to absorb the poison within.

The other two Nine Heavens Dragon Centipedes, who had just reached the ten-thousand-year level, hesitated for a moment, but they too could not resist such a good tonic.

The fragrance of the black poisonous mist within the poison barrier made them completely forget the Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede King's orders.

At this moment, the sixth brother looked around at his clansmen who were completely absorbed in absorbing the poisonous energy, and he was very dissatisfied.

"hiss--"

The intense hissing of the dragon centipedes instantly snapped the ten dragon centipedes back to their senses, causing them to quickly occupy different directions and surround Ji Wuming in the center.

Then, relying on its powerful sensory abilities, the sixth brother accurately located Ji Wuming and the location of Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item.

At this moment, the fragrance of the fragrant and exquisite immortal product had completely disregarded the sixth brother. It immediately let out a loud hiss, and all the nine-sectioned centipedes present charged towards Ji Wuming's location.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The eight thousand-year-old dragon centipedes fell one after another, and even the other two ten-thousand-year-old dragon centipedes slowed down rapidly, showing signs of collapsing at any moment.

Old Liu also missed his target, finding only one or two green leaves right in the center of the poisonous creature.

"A mere 45,000 years, and this soul beast that cultivates both earth and poison thinks it can kill me?"

Just before it flew into a rage and was about to call for help from the Nine Heavens Centipede King, which was located 1 meters deep in the center of the island,

"Sea Waves Unpredictable, Empty Roars Overturn the Sea and Kill".

A sudden 60-meter-wide vacuum zone squeezed out the surrounding toxic fog, and the entire toxic barrier forcibly expanded outward by two meters.

The ten Nine Heavenly Dragon Centipedes that had fallen inside the poisonous barrier were on the verge of death, while the sixth one was currently in a vacuum zone, unable to call for help, and even its movements had become unusually slow.

The Blood Thunder Spear, solidified with blood energy, shot toward Lao Liu at incredible speed. At this moment, Lao Liu had no way to dodge and could only use its hard body to take the terrifying attack head-on.

"Pfft—"

The light red dragon centipede shell shattered instantly, and the Blood Thunder Spear pierced directly through its fourth segment. As the effect of its third self-created soul skill dissipated,

It collapsed heavily to the ground, the toxins it had silently inhaled suddenly taking effect, making it difficult to stand up, and even self-destruction was extremely difficult.

From the moment the first Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede fell until now, when the sixth one is seriously injured, the entire process took no more than 30 seconds.

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

"Emperor-Slaying Domain!"

Before the 100,000-year-old Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede could react, Ji Wuming immediately unleashed the Emperor-Slaying Domain.

A powerful, scarlet energy emanated from Ji Wuming's body, stretching 300 meters and covering nearly half of the poisonous barrier area.

At the same time, a blue-gold crown appeared above his head, instantly reducing the soul power consumed by casting the domain by 40%.

Meanwhile, the eleven centipedes within the domain faced increased pressure, their attributes decreasing by 20%, while Ji Wuming's increased by 30%. Taking advantage of the fact that his first soul skill's effect hadn't expired, he gathered his strength in his steps and leaped into the air.

"Third Soul Skill, Blood Lightning Transforms into Three Thousand."

A black soul ring appeared around Ji Wuming, and hundreds of lightning bolts transformed into blood lightning spears. With the support of his first soul skill and the Emperor-Slaying Domain, his attack power increased by as much as 70%.

Countless blood-red lightning spears shot towards the ground, their tips trailing a cloud of poisonous mist.

"boom--"

The earth cracked, and one after another, craters appeared caused by the spear attacks. All eleven dragon centipedes present died, and eight purple and three black spirit rings appeared almost simultaneously.

The surrounding black poisonous mist spread rapidly in all directions due to the violent commotion, and the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts guarding the outer edge of the poison barrier scattered and fled. Those who were slow to run were directly corroded to death by the poison.

Inside the poisonous fog, Ji Wuming, without hesitation, quickly absorbed all eleven Nine Heavens Dragon Centipedes into his soul tool.

"Do you really think my poisonous barrier is a superb tonic for your dragon-centipede clan?"

The latest novel is first published here!

He traveled thousands of miles to the North Sea specifically to hunt down the Nine Heavens Centipede, but he was well-prepared. He first feigned weakness to gauge the situation; if the 10-year-old Nine Heavens Centipede did not come in person, then his plan could be executed perfectly.

Even if the Nine Heavens Centipede, a creature 10 years old, were to appear in person, Ji Wuming would not be intimidated. The poisonous mist in his small porcelain bottle was derived from the Poison Dragon Poison Pill of Dugu Bo, and a small portion of the root, stem, and leaves of the Snow-White Swan's Kiss had been added to the poison, increasing its toxicity dozens of times.

Even a powerful creature like the Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede, which has been around for 10 years and possesses both poison and earth attributes, would never have imagined that the poison barrier, an excellent tonic for poisonous soul beasts like them, would become their inevitable death potion, and would be no match for the super poison activated by the Snow Swan Kiss.

The 10-year-old Nine Heavens Centipede, which had been in a light slumber, was suddenly awakened by the commotion. Its massive tail slapped repeatedly against the soil beside it; it was utterly enraged.

"You audacious human, daring to kill my people, you've dug your own grave!"

In an instant, the mountain on the central island, 600 meters away, collapsed, ice and snow slid down, and the entire island shook violently, as if it were at risk of exploding at any moment.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, a section of land on the island exploded as if a volcano had erupted, sending thousands of tons of soil and snow hurtling outwards.

Two to three hundred Nine Heavens Dragon Centipedes crawled straight out of the cave. Then, a centipede as thick as a towering tree, entirely crimson in color, and nearly 50 meters long emerged from the ground.

That overwhelming aura, and the ferocious light emanating from their eyes, terrified the fleeing soul beasts, making their limbs go weak. The soul beasts that had been slumbering throughout the sea also began to stir.

"Human, blood debts must be repaid with blood. I will take your life."

Seeing this scene, it was impossible for Ji Wuming not to panic. He immediately changed direction and quickly used the Wave-Treading Mountain and Sea Steps. Before leaving, he continuously threw ten level-two soul-guided bombs into the poison barrier.

Just as the Nine Heavens Dragon Centipede was preparing to unleash its strongest poison skill from a distance, aiming to kill Ji Wuming in one strike,...

"Bang bang bang—"

The level-two soul-guided bomb exploded directly. Although the flames from the explosion extinguished some of the poisonous mist, the shockwave caused more of the mist to spread rapidly.

The poisonous fog seeping into the sea directly killed a large number of hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts.
