The Immortal’s Poison

One Shiwan Mountain, double layers of sky and land, and triple groups of cultivators. 

On the inside of the place of outer fringe, Wen Leyang and Chi Maojiu, brought along the last of their companions. They walked with the gait that was bloodiest and most violent in their entire life. Just like a metal-capped ship that was hard, tenacious and wildly arrogant beyond its own ability, they collided ferociously into the monstrous wave that was converged from the monsters. The exit was within their horizon. If they could kill their way out, they could escape alive!

On the southwest lone peak, the five-element demon brought along three people including Sir Rust. They closed their eyes and held their breaths. They were waiting silently for the moment the place of the outer fringe was struck by the endless punishment. Perhaps it could be the next second, or perhaps they would wait for another ten more minutes, but the demon understood very well, that the great punishment in the land of the outer fringe, would happen in an hour. The magic formation could be launched at any moment. 

On the northeast lone peak, the Great Guiding Formation was already successfully launched, while the large troop of cultivators was on alert and combat-ready. They would immediately leave the difficult position the moment the wasteland arrived. 

The group of demon immortals and the core members were standing at the edge of the lone peak. 

The sky had already darkened. No one knew since when or where a stretch of dark clouds that were connected for a thousand miles floated from, that firmly covered the initially dimmed and pale glow of the moon and stars. 

The suffocating and humid air pinned down heavily on top of everyone's heads. 

Hanba raised his head and looked up to the sky. He spoke dully. "Tonight, I'm afraid that it is going rain heavily."

Chang Li gave a spurious smile as she continued his topic of conversation, "I wonder, if it's going to rain heavily on the wasteland…" Before she could finish her sentence, the surrounding air suddenly surged and shook. Zhui Zi laughed aloud as she shouted, "It's here! Everyone get ready!"

Before her voice died away, the vision before everyone's eyes darkened! The magic formation finally appeared in the ultimate land. 

On the other hand, whether it was the top demon immortals, sword immortals, or the cultivators that had already been prepared to step into the wasteland, everyone gave out extremely surprised cries! The Great Guiding Formation was successfully launched, but after the void was breached, the location that was guided in and connected to the lone peak, was not the wasteland with hidden chaos' egg.

The location that was guided in, was the other slanted, sharp and steep mountain peak that stood proud and aloof, thirty-five kilometers away from them!

Not only did Chang Li and the rest scream out in astonishment. 

The group of immortal master teacher's inferiors, the descendants of the moon cone nail and even the big-headed short man, and the five-element demon, were all staring in bewilderment. 

It was as if God was intentionally playing a prank. After the Great Guiding Formation was launched, it connected the two lone peaks where the two gangs of mortal enemies were at!

The demon immortals and cultivators, could not understand how the situation happened. The immortal master teacher's inferiors even widened their eyes more in surprise. They dared not believe regardless, that the enemies would suddenly run to the bottom of their feet, all at once. 

For a moment, the initially bustling Shiwan Mountain with battle cries that reached to the sky suddenly quieted down, even the monsters too shut their mouths in unison. It was until a moment later, that the sky suddenly exploded in a loud muffled thunder. Everyone was akin to being awakened from a deep sleep. More than ten thousand people on the mountain and below the mountain almost shouted simultaneously, "Kill!"

Soon after, countless monsters howled and roared. Supernatural powers, magic incantations, and wild laughter, boiled over the Shiwan Mountain in the blink of an eye!

No one could care about looking into the magic formation. The two packs of mortal enemies that suddenly met each other without being prepared, engaged in battle in the blink of an eye.

The five-element demon was both astonished and infuriated. He ordered his inferiors loudly, "Stop them!" Following that, he glared ferociously at the big-headed short man, "No one is allowed to come up here! This order is related to the esteemed master teacher's life. Do not ever allow the enemies to create trouble here."

The big-headed short man needed no instruction, nor did he care about the difficult continuation of his life vitality. He exhausted the strength of his entire body. While he was squalling and howling, he pounded his gong and drum loudly. 

On the two lone peaks, all the monsters from Shiwan Mountain stood to gather. Under the wild urging of the gong and drum, the monsters' eyes turned red all of a sudden, as they pounced towards the cultivators ferociously. 

Chang Li and the rest almost laughed themselves to madness. Their doubt towards the Great Guiding Formation had already been washed away by the joy of finally confronting the enemies into nothingness. 

The surrounding monsters, were akin to monstrous waves, as they surged in from all directions. When seen from afar, the two lone peaks that were connected top to bottom seemed to be twisting about. The monsters from below were trying to surge upwards, while the monsters from above were starting to dive downwards. There were even strange birds that covered the sky, all arriving as swift as lightning!

The old demon rabbit Bu Le's eyes were bright red. He had since forgotten that he upheld the identity of a Buddhism sect's disciple. He opened up his arms to summon the Buddha's protective heaven dragon, and raised his voice as he roared as loud as the thunder, "My men, hold down the formation on behalf of your grand masters!" Countless cultivators roared loudly in response, while thousands of treasured weapons' divine radiance suddenly burned scorching hot, and blocked the monsters that were attempting to surge from behind desperately. 

At the same time, a chain of lightning rolled in all the way from the edge of the sky, accompanied by loud muffled thunder, rainstorm came down in a splash.

Chang Li, along with Zhui Zi and Hanba, walked in front, side by side. They walked step by step, as they walked towards the waterfall-like monsters. They went against the current, over a thousand demon blades spun around and howled, while soundless white hair drought spirit spread out. There were even streaks upon streaks of dazzling and lustrous icicles.

Mumu guided the zombie, and together with the two silly uncles, they protected the left side of the demon immortals. They did not possess the magic art capable of ambushing from afar, yet where they passed by, they left behind remnant limbs and ground meat that spurted fresh blood.

The two Taoist priests, Liu Zheng and the martial art fanatic San Wei, followed on the right of Chang Li and the rest. Countless flying swords were humming and whistling. Whether it was the monsters that came flying or pouncing over, the monsters were all shredded into a million pieces when the cold radiance exploded in a flash!

Everyone's eyes turned red from the killing. Chang Li and the rest were skilled in profound magic arts - they also had the entire cultivation world's force that was willing to sacrifice their lives to protect them. The descendants of the heaven's cone nails too had top demon immortals on their side, and also had the Shiwan Mountain's monsters that had since turned mad, to help attack and kill the enemies!

Chang Li laughed maniacally. Her long hair and long dress had since been tainted with foul-smelling blood. Her spring lake-like bright eyes, and the charm of her fighting violently and bloody arrogance were poised together. She was so beautiful, no one dared to even look at her, nor think about her. She was akin to a cat with a bright and shiny coat, yet bloodthirsty and stubborn, with her prey's fresh blood on the corner of her mouth. She was the cat that had already begun cleaning her coat impatiently!

Zhui Zi was rainfall and a rainstorm, in one. She destroyed everything mercilessly and washed the mortal world. The bubble that was splashed up when she tumbled onto the ground, was so graceful too!

As compared to both of them, Hanba was so hideous that his mere existence made one reduce to tears…

Chang Li was dashing and killing, when she suddenly gave out a 'huh'. Hanba and Zhui Zi by her side, needed no instruction. They immediately took a few steps forward, and helped to block away all the pressure on behalf of her. Chang Li bent over and started knocking rapidly on the surface of the ground. A moment later, a series of cheering voices echoed from the depth of the underground. Soon after, the giant pangolin Po Tu with fair and baby-smooth complexion, bored out of the ground while panting. 

Po Tu sacrificed its entire body's scales. It escaped from Hot Immortal Aunt's grasp, but it was injured rather severely. It had yet to run away from the lone peak before it stopped moving. It was a giant pangolin that possessed the inherent ability to feign its death. It was difficult for others to realize that, but it could never hide from Chang Li whom it had made contact with on a few occasions. 

Chang Li was feeling rather surprised herself, she did not expect that the pangolin could surprisingly hide underneath the enemies' feet, yet before she could manage to inquire in time, the sound of roaring was heard continuously from Hanba's side, the situation of the battle was tensed, Chang Li could not care about Po Tu now, she spoke smilingly, "Allow the people behind to protect you!" As she was saying that she tossed it towards the large troop of cultivators behind her conveniently, she moved swiftly and helped Hanba to settle down the enemies that came attacking like a swarm of bees. 

Po Tu was somersaulting in the midair, its mouth was still shouting in a haste, "There is something hidden underneath their feet, there is the burly man, monkey, and also a pillar..." The entire mountain and wilderness were filled with the sound of battle; no one could even hear the pangolin's words clearly...

Chang Li and the rest ascended the mountain swiftly, it did not take long before they had already crossed over the mountainside, and left behind a streak of muddy and bloody path behind them, that could not even be washed clean by the pouring heavy rain. 

Even though the monsters came in great numbers, but most of the monsters were blocked behind the cultivators led by the big and small demon rabbits, every minute that had passed, there were hundreds of cultivators slaughtered by the monsters, while every step that Chang Li and the rest advanced, destroyed the enemies' defense line like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood...

In the tragic battle, the two lone peaks were tainted red by the fresh blood that splashed everywhere along with the rainstorm. 

Ten minutes, passed by in the blink of an eye, without using supernatural power, or relying on telegnosis ability, Nineteen could already see Hanba's teeth that were revealed when he cracked into a maniacal smile clearly. Even though the monsters were not afraid of death, yet they did not manage to stop the group of top master cultivators in the end, the two parties were less than a hundred meters apart!

The five elements demon's eyes were almost cracking in rage, yet it dared not leave the magic formation, its eyes were bloodshot as it glared towards the big-headed demon, "What are you waiting for!"

A squall that sounded so hoarse it was enough to tear everyone's eardrums into pieces, surged skywards from the big-headed short man's mouth, "Come! Out! Now!"

After the three words were spoken, a mouthful of fresh blood, spurted out of the short man's mouth for a distance of a few meters in front of his body...

That puff of fresh blood had yet to scatter onto the ground, when boundless crushed rocks exploded from underneath the short man's feet with a loud bang, within the sound of a loud and sharp howl, the shadow of a human figure accompanied by wind and thunder, pounced towards the group of master cultivators who were ascending the mountain peak ferociously!

Thousands of years passed by like a day on Shiwan Mountain, the wild burly man who moved rocks to suppress the evil caves, was also controlled by the big-headed short man, he had been hiding in the soil underneath their feet all along, when the group of master cultivators ascended to the peak at this moment, the big-headed short man almost exhausted half of his life, he summoned his fail-safe!

The demon blades, ice spikes and white hair drought spirit, were completely mashed by the wind and thunder shook by the wild burly man! The little supreme leader shouted, thousands of Kunlun divine swords that were immersed in the enlightened person Tian Hua's primordial spirit suddenly changed its direction, and wrapped around the burly man in a black mass, the sound of sword's hum echoed loudly, thousands of long swords were vibrating together, and finally converged into a loud noise that roused the heaven!

Boom!

Countless broken swords and remnant blades exploded in all directions within the sound of sorrowful screams, the wild burly man's eyes were shut tight, his expression was savage to the utmost extent, within the sound of his long howls he smashed the sword formation, and dashed forward!

Chang Li and the rest who had just ascended onto the peak, within the sound of their shouting, they fought into a ball of mess with the wild burly man in a grand scene. The surrounding monsters that attempted to join into the battle were completely pounded into flesh paste by the tremendous force surged by the thundering supernatural powers. 

Meanwhile the five elements demon suddenly burst out laughing strangely, "In the place of the outer fringe, the punishment cloud has already arrived, send me in!"

The three persons Shudou, Sir Rust and Hot Immortal Aunt were already so anxious they clenched their teeth so hard they almost crushed their teeth, they were suddenly elated upon hearing the demon's words, they did not speak anymore, but they immediately sat upright and crossed their legs, their mouths were chanting the incantation loudly!

The group of master cultivators' eyes were almost cracking in rage, yet no one could dash out of the wild burly man's blockade regardless. 

There was only Zhui Zi, the piteous and weak appearance still rippled in between her faint smile lines as before, yet the item in her arm that was raised high up in the air, was an ancient weapon that made everyone so terrified their hearts and gallbladders were almost shattered – it was the Golden Bow Salvo.

Wen Leyang brought along this violent bow back to the Wen family village from the Jilong Sect, before entering Shiwan Mountain this time, Zhui Zi secretly brought this violent weapon capable of killing a person, but also capable of killing oneself.

Just as the golden bow was raised, Chang Li suddenly understood, why did Zhui Zi said earlier, that she would deal with the five elements demon.

Even Hanba and the demon cat who was standing a stone's throw away, they did not manage to react to the situation in time. 

She floated in the midair gracefully, Zhui Zi pulled the golden-colored fierce bow's bowstring that was trembling slightly. 

In a flash, everything in the surroundings was frozen, the monsters that were arriving like a swarm of bees, the rainwater that was splashing everywhere, and also everyone's bloodshot gaze...suddenly a cold and sinister laugh shattered the frozen space-time heavily, even though the wild burly man was out of his mind, yet he sensed the horror of that golden bow! His speed completely crushed everyone's gaze, at the same time Zhui Zi was pulling at the bowstring, he appeared by her side without a sign, he raised his leg and kicked her over heavily!

The Golden Bow Salvo rolled weakly, Zhui Zi tumbled onto the ground. 

Zhui Zi was coughing blood and laughing forcefully, for the actual power of this wild burly man, as compared to the big moustache man from the battle of Mount Hua, seemed to be stronger by many folds!

While the wild burly man's wild pounce, seemed to finally revealed a flaw in his movements! Zhui Zi's life-sacrificing one blow, resulted in her coughing blood and severely injured, while the battle companions by her side were infuriated until their chests exploded, everyone gave out the sound of fierce howls, they wished that they could spat out their internal organs, as they formed into a ball akin to madmen.

The two silly uncles stood on the left and right, they grabbed the wild burly man's legs, they allowed the opponent's knees to break their two four six eight ribs, still they refused to let go, under the influence of the Faulty Punch, they moved their hands legs shoulders and foreheads together, they swore to never give up before they broke his legs. 

The little supreme leader Liu Zheng and the martial art fanatic San Wei grabbed the wild man's left arm, Hanba hugged his right arm, the three top master cultivators combined their strength yet they could not pin down his strength, they were spun around by the wild man akin to a windmill. 

While the demon cat had already pounced into the wild burly man's back, she revealed a mouthful of ghastly teeth, as she bit down onto his neck...

While at the same time the old woman Shudou suddenly gave out an owl-like squall, "The great formation has taken form!" Soon after a layer of dazzling silvery white-colored radiance suddenly bloomed from underneath their feet. 

It was at this moment, a sweet and crisp accent that was accompanied by a Sichuan girl's boldness suddenly echoed, "Shoot!"

The sound of a corpse's roar, next to Mumu with disheveled hair, a tall and huge zombie leaped up high into the air, in its hand, was a weapon that was impressively pulled, that was precisely the Golden Bow Salvo that looked down on the entire world!

Buzz!

The sound of the bowstring shook through the heaven and earth, three streaks of scorching hot divine radiance, exploded through the sky!

With the cultivation base of the Jilong Sect's ordinary disciple, when it was used to launch this golden bow, it almost shot and killed Wen Leyang, let alone the person who bent the bow earlier, was the corpse king that was personally selected by Hanba for Mumu. 

"First Quarter Moon!"

"Last Quarter Moon!"

"Full Moon!"

"New Moon!"

Four voices echoed simultaneously, four descendants of the moon cone nail, four streaks of simultaneously launched top supernatural powers!

Everyone's eyes were filled with a stretch of radiance that was magnificent to the utmost extent, the golden bow released three streaks of shadows, one of the shadows was dissolved by the combined powers of the descendants of the moon cone nail, within a loud and heaven-shattering noise, while Nineteen and her three disciples spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in unison, they staggered and tumbled onto the ground. 

There were still two more arrows, akin to the meteor that was chasing after the moon, the arrows raided towards the five elements demon in the middle of the magic formation!

The five elements demon's face was filled with savageness, he suddenly turned and formed into two hand seals, his mouth was roaring wildly, "The formation-guarding spell!"

Just as the two divine arrows were breaking the breach and shooting out, soil and rocks cracked in the middle of the mountain peal abruptly, a streak of golden-colored short and small shadow of a figure, a stick of silver-colored pillar appeared on the same row, and blocked in front of the five elements demon's magic formation. 

The golden-colored short and small shadow, was the golden monkey Qian Ren.

While the silver-colored pillar, was surprisingly the moon genus demon-suppressing heaven's cone nail that Nineteen and her crews dug out from the Black and White Island recently!

The four descendants of the moon cone nail had utterly no idea, that the moon genus heaven's cone nail that they spent laborious effort to risk their lives, the cone nail that they stole and hid properly, since one month ago, it was already retrieved by the five elements demon without their notice, it was buried beneath the final magic formation all along. 

There was no need to mention of the golden monkey, it was casted with a prohibition spell after it was captured, then it was imprisoned. 

One was a demon-suppressing heaven's cone nail, that condensed the power of the moon's essence, one was the ultimate rare beast of the metal element, that possessed the body that even King Gesar was incapable of destroying. Such one cone nail and one beast, no doubt they were still 'captives', but they were also casted with a spell by the five elements demon into becoming the final defense to guard the magic formation!

The radiance that pierced through the heaven and earth flashed past and disappeared, the final two divine arrows, were also blocked...

The creature that blocked the two divine arrows, was the golden monkey, Qian Ren screamed out in agony, it tumbled onto the ground heavily and stopped moving, the power of the Golden Bow Salvo's one arrow, even though it was incapable of destroying its body, but Qian Ren's primordial spirit was almost torn and shattered! However, the prohibition spell on its body, was also destroyed by this one arrow. 

The creature that blocked the third divine arrows, was the moon genus heaven's cone nail, the heaven's cone nail that was already mottled with fissures, under the reflection of the arrow's radiance it exploded with a series of piercing and smashing sound, it was forcefully exploded into a puff of stone powder!

The four descendants of the moon cone nail almost gave out an agonizing scream in unison, their schemes and plots over thousands of years, still turned into nothingness in the end!

Within the sound of wild laughter, the five elements demon turned around and spoke to the four descendants of the moon cone nail that were deranged, "The immortal master teacher's trick, is not something that the few of you ants are capable of comparing to!" Before his voice died away, the silvery white-colored radiance that bloomed form within the magic formation suddenly wrapped around him, and tossed him towards the entrance of the place of the outer fringe.

Shudou and the rest on the other hand called out to one another, they summoned their supernatural powers, and killed ahead towards the descendants of the moon cone nail that were already scared out of their wits, yet it was at this moment, it was unknown which person suddenly screamed out in surprise with a voice that sounded hysterical.

At the moment the five elements demon was about to dash into the place of the outer fringe's entrance, a person with his entire body covered with blood, that was the crazed Wen Leyang dashed out of the place of the outer fringe! The silvery white-colored radiance, the bright red-colored blood, in a situation without any fancy tricks and also without any preparation, they collided together ferociously!

Everyone was stunned, including Wen Leyang and five elements demon who were hugging together. 

Just as the endless punishment in the place of the outer fringe was about to arrive, the Great Guiding Formation had taken form, two lone peaks were connected together, the top master cultivators led along a large group of cultivators and attacked the mountain, the big-headed short man knocked the gong and drum wildly, to urge the monsters into killing the enemies, during this period of time, everyone above and below the mountain was feeling a fluctuation of emotions, there was utterly no one that had noticed, within the desperate knocking of the big-headed short man's gong and drum, there were more than just the thousands of monsters in the mountains that were triggered, even those monsters that were supposed to dash into the place of the outer fringe, their aggressive temperament was also provoked completely, such that they turned around and dashed towards the cultivators. The temptation of the place of the outer fringe was not enough to set off their bloodthirsty cravings...

On the outside of the place of the outer fringe there was a messy tangled warfare, on the inside of the place of the outer fringe was also a tangled warfare. Wen Leyang who exhausted the strength of his entire body, together with Chi Maojiu he brought along hundreds of cultivators to run for their lives, he suddenly felt as his body lightened, Wen Leyang truly thought that he was dead at the moment, that was why everything became light and agile, soon after he discovered in surprise, that the continuously surging of the monsters' mighty torrent these days, was surprisingly truly cutoff, stopped and disappeared, while at the same time, the place of the outer fringe behind him collapsed!

Following that, Wen Leyang pounced forward, he bumped right into the five elements demon...

The Great Guiding Formation connected the two lone peaks together in a baffling manner, the large troop of cultivators and monsters were engaged in an arduous battle, the group of demon immortals and sword immortals and the wild burly man who was out of his mind were fighting together, the three arrows of the Salvo was separately blocked by the descendants of the moon cone nail, the moon genus cone nail and the golden monkey, the three persons including Shudou pounced towards Nineteen and her siblings, Wen Leyang and the five elements demon hugged together, little Chi Maojiu was leading the survivors as they tumbled out of the place of the outer fringe in a mess...
