Volume 2 Preface: The Heavenly Poison King

100 Islands.

This is the name of a group of heroes who have given their lives for the progress of humanity. They are righteous men who regard the law above all else. There are thousands of people, all of them brave and powerful.

Their headquarters are located at the top of a hill in Storm Isle, an island that blooms with flowers all year round due to the mystical energy that flows deep underground.

But now, on this beautiful island where justice was once stationed, there is no splendor or justice to be found. There is only the smell of blood and death.

On the top of Storm Island, there are more than a thousand corpses scattered around. Lifeless and well-defined, piled up on top of each other to form a hill. The corpses were all mutilated and decomposed beyond recognition.

And on top of the mountain of corpses, there stood an old man.

This man is the most evil creature ever seen on earth.

Legend has it that he had no sorrow, no love, and no cherishing.

"Push it again! One more, and he'll die! ”

Standing at the foot of the mountain are the heroes of the last survivors. Even though their bodies had pushed their limits, their eyes were full of victory. Not "we will win", but "we will die". This is the common consensus among the heroes, and they will not survive this battle.

"Wang Tiangu! Your life is over today! ”

The old monster named Wang Tiangu snorted as he touched his long white beard stained with blood. He was relaxed and didn't seem upset by the loss of his left arm. His right eye was also blinded, and fourteen broken swords slashed across his back.

"Haha, Huizong, Guan Yong, I should have killed you seven years ago, and I should have killed you today."

He happily opened one arm and a smile bloomed on his wrinkled face. "Come on! Heroes of the 100 Islands! Let's have fun dancing together! Because life is good! Death is even more so! ”

"Dry !!"

Twenty monks rushed at him and attacked wildly. In response, with a wave of his claws, a wave of purple light, killed the first five attackers.

Then he kicked his legs and jumped high, and immediately after, three giant centipede phantoms roared out of thin air. They chiseled through the mountains of corpses, and flesh flew everywhere. There seemed to be no end to his power.

But the demon old man knew that he couldn't go on like this. After ten days of fighting, his strength is rapidly declining.

A mysterious opponent was strong enough to pose a challenge, and despite the odds, managed to parry all of his moves. The enemy wears a plain mask and sees nothing except two sharp eyes.

The claw and the sword meet again and again. Each time the purple and yellow sparks collided, they illuminated the darkness of dawn, illuminating the masked monk and the old man.

The blade of the sword flows like a river, endlessly, unyieldingly. Each stroke is as exquisite as the master's brushstrokes. But Wang Tiangu has experience, and although his opponent is a master, he will quickly make mistakes.

"Die!" He punched himself in the face, sending the masked man flying into the barricade. He chased after him, and the yin power converged on the claws, forming a terrifying image of snake teeth.

"Wang Tiangu!" A voice came from behind him, and a terrible wind came towards him.

"Cui Ning."

The old man turned his head to look at the new attacker, his eyes cold, and called out his name. It was a handsome warrior of the Divine Cloud Tower.

He slashed at him with a sword, unleashing the illusion of a thousand swords. This is the rainstorm, the fatal move of the sect.

The sword qi struck him like a torrent, but the old monster had already swung out a palm and slapped it away. He managed to disperse them, but it took too much effort to make him stagger back three steps.

Seizing the opportunity, Cui hurriedly grabbed the masked warrior's waist and took a hundred steps back. He took the opportunity to transfer energy and heal his wounds.

Wang Tiangu stabilized his body and stared at the two of them. He stared at the handsome young man in front of him and sneered.

「…… I see, it turns out that the old guy has decided to lose face and everything is naked. Hmph"

Cui Ning sneered, and the tip of the sword twisted, pointing at him. "You stole our Divine Cloud Tower's Soul Sutra. I have to go and get it back from you. ”

"Haha! Buddhist scriptures are not something he can covet!! Nor his. The old monster shouted. But alas, the scripture is mine, and you can only pry it away from my cold corpse. ”

Wang Tiangu immediately formed a claw and gathered the poisoned yin qi into it. "However, can you defeat my Thousand Poisonous Claws in just one early stage of stepping on the ground?"

"Sure enough, you're already at the pinnacle of stepping on the ground. It's two levels higher than me, though. It's like an ant trying to defeat an elephant. But you're exhausted! You're bluffing, but now you don't even have the power to summon those contract beasts you're so proud of. Otherwise, those centipedes would have appeared now, not the replicas you summoned. Hah"

The man motioned for the remaining warriors to surround Wang Tiangu. "And, we already know why you're here."

He has an evil smile that is incompatible with the image of a righteous man. "You want to use the power of the occult to cross the realm. That's why you can't do anything excessive. ”

The old man's heart was excited, the venom in his body could not be controlled, and he coughed up a mouthful of rotten blood.

"What to do?!"

"Enough! There was no need to hurt him anymore. ”

The masked samurai takes off his mask, huh?! A girl's beautiful face is revealed, with fiery red lips and a cat's eye-like green. Although her golden hair was stained with blood, it could not hide her beauty.

Lao Wang's face seemed to be a hundred years old. "I see...... I understand. So that's it...... Karma. He closed his eyes, and tiredness filled his body. All the while, I'm killing ...... My little daughter...... My little Polaroid. ”

The enemy lost his determination, but Cui Ning did not hesitate.

"Stop using tactics, old poison. We are outnumbered. ”

"Wait! You said you just need to learn from the scriptures! The young woman exclaimed.

"Buddhist scriptures are closely related to the soul. If you don't kill the owner, you can't take it! ”

"Nope! You lied to me! ”

"Only a fool would believe the words of a warrior! Star Formation! Kill!! ”

The warriors stabbed towards Wang Tiangu, who was still unconscious. But Baoli stepped forward and repelled the attack with three moves.

The handsome Cui roared angrily and released a torrential rain to hit Baoli. The lower level of treasure power could not resist, and could only let his life be taken away.

But the pain did not come. Because in front of her, she saw the back that she had ridden in her childhood. That gentle man protected her back then, and now it is the same.

"Stepfather!!"

"Haha!" The arrogant young man unleashed his true qi and plunged his sword deeper into the ground, but the old monster split the sword in half with great strength.

Choi jumped backwards, trying to avoid him.

"Hmm." Baoli catches his stepfather, who is about to fall.

"How did it come to this,?!

"Do you have to ask?" The old man choked on the blood and laughed. The sword pierced his lungs, dispersing the toxins he used to stick the ruined entrails together.

"Even in the end, I won't be able to kill you. What's the use of my malice? If you can't cut off love, what's the use of asking for so many lives?! No, when I lost her, I also lost you. ”

He held back his last breath and smiled, not the arrogant smile he had always haught, but a warm smile full of nostalgia. "I don't regret my actions, I don't regret the lives I took, and I don't regret the lives I saved. And I've never regretted that I saved you that day. My only regret is that I didn't cross the line. ”

He reached for her cheek and stroked it, his face stained with his own blood.

He suddenly blew at her, and she fainted.

He got down on one knee, placed her on the rock, and cast a spell on her, his blood continuing to flow beneath him.

Seeing this fragile scene, a member of the Hundred Islands Sect wanted to take credit. However, when he stepped on the bloodstains, globular tumors soon grew on his feet, and in just a few seconds, they took over his entire body. He screamed and exploded like a balloon.

"Come back! Blood poison! Guan Yong covered his mouth and nose and shouted. The smell of blood was also deadly, and he felt the poison gas invading his body.

"You!" Cui Ning grimaced as an old man's dying throes delayed his victory. "Even then, I will take the scriptures from your corpse! Then I'll let the dogs eat your flesh, grind your bones, and sprinkle them in the dung pit! ”

Ignoring his roar, Lao Wang's back drew an arc. "Break off love and hate. My poison will pollute the earth and devour the firmament. This is my way! My Heaven Devouring Dao!! ”

The earth shook, and cracks appeared. His blood seeped into the cracks, turning into a purple miasma that erupted like a geyser. All the plants and grass around it turned into a viscous purple liquid that smelled of death and decay.

Those weaker fighters went crazy from poisoning and exploded into a pile of blood.

"W-What the hell is this?!"

"The whole island is trembling!!"

"What did you do?!"

"I detonated my poison core and polluted the Xuan Qi under this mountain!! Do you want sutras?! Let's see if you can survive!! ”

Yin aura poured out of his body, mixing with his blood and miasma. Decay and poison every living thing in its path. Those warriors who wanted to escape from the mountain did not have time to escape, and were suffocated to death by the poisonous mist.

Cui Ning tried to cast a spell to escape, but before he could activate it, the paper was already burned. He could only watch as his body began to corrode under the attack of the old monster's extraordinary evil power.

"Why?" That was the only thing he could ask before he also lost his life.

"You...... Made my daughter cry. ”

The old man coughed, and blood ran down his mouth and down to his beard. His body had collapsed, and the poison gas had consumed him from the inside out. Everything around him rots, and soon he will suffer the same fate.

Wang Tiangu fell to the ground. His body was decomposing, and everything outside of his torso had been reduced to ashes.

He smiled, but knew his little daughter was safe.

"No one made my daughter cry."
