Chapter 87: Poison Array Battle. Heh, Poison Array Battle!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

They’re coming…

Or rather, they’re finally here.

In the darkness, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of being targeted by thieves.

Li Changshou felt a little pressured as these enemies did not appear for a long time.

Ever since he obtained the ring given to him by Elder Wan Linyun half a year ago, Li Changshou had begun preparing for the third stage of the battle.

Now, it was time to test the results…

If the other party wanted to launch a sneak attack, they would have to approach the Immortal Du Sect from underground. Then, they would attack.

That would give Li Changshou a lot of room to maneuver.

The direction in which the other party appeared, and their path…

I was right!

Although for safety reasons, Li Changshou had also ambushed the paper effigies with ‘Earth’ characters under the ground of the other five possible paths, the enemies were behaving favorably.

The path that they had chosen to launch a sneak attack was one of the three main paths that he had set up.

The only thing that Li Changshou found to be unideal was that the opponent had launched a sneak attack two to three months apart from the time that he had expected…

In fact, Li Changshou had previously guessed that he and Elder Wan Linyun might have caused the mastermind to give up on destroying the Immortal Du Sect after they schemed against him…

However…

The enemies arrived late, but they still arrived.

At that moment, the seven paper effigies with the ‘Heaven’ character remained motionless. They hid outside the mountain gate and waited quietly.

Their purpose was still to surround the rear after the great battle.

That battle tactic did not change.

On the other hand, the six paper effigies that had the character ‘Earth’ written on them, were distributed along the six paths that Li Changshou had found in advance. He had spent two to three months setting up many simple poison arrays on those six paths.

What was the Poison Array?

Of course, they were array formations that poisonous pills were added to.

What was different was that the poison arrays that Li Changshou had set up were very obscure and slightly bewitching. His goal was for the arrays to not be easily detected.

Once someone entered the array, the poisonous powder and poisonous fog would explode instantly. None of their poisonous properties would be wasted!

That was the true essence of the Poison Array that Li Changshou understood!

When Li Changshou set up the poisonous arrays, he had never thought that he could use them to destroy his enemies.

The reason was simple. Since the other party dared to attack the Immortal Du Sect, which was guarded by a Golden Immortal, they must have a Golden Immortal expert as well…

In fact, Li Changshou had even considered that the other party might have a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He had also made the corresponding arrangements.

However, with the poison array he had set up with the “divine” paper effigies, he would be able to destroy the enemies easily even if their Golden Immortal was powerful.

Therefore, the poisonous arrays could only be used as land mines that would instantly explode.

Li Changshou decided to let the paper effigy lay in ambush only because he reckoned that the other party had at least two Golden Immortals. He did not call for Elder Lin Yun to help him.

He wanted to prevent him from raising his bronze-skinned walking stick and going to fight the Golden Immortals for the sake of Ren School.

The functions of the six paper effigies were to disturb the enemy, trap the enemy, expose the enemy’s whereabouts, warn the sect in time, and weaken the enemy to a certain extent!

Hiding in the trunk of a tree, Paper Effigy No. 3 with the ‘Earth’ character was wobbling. Its body expanded rapidly and transformed into a young and handsome immortal who was clad in a long robe.

His aura and appearance were completely different from Li Changshou.

At that moment, half of Li Changshou’s attention was on the paper Daoist. Using the spider webs that he had set up previously, he monitored the group of black shadows that were rushing towards him from 200 kilometers away…

Li Changshou soon realized that there were dozens of figures traveling underground.

The figures followed behind a few great demons who could only burrow into the ground. Although they concealed their auras, their obscurity was far inferior to Earth Escape.

Has the perfected pangolin become smart?

However, Li Changshou had considered that point before.

Some of the poisonous arrays that he had set up were hidden rather deep below ground, and the large array foundations were also arranged diagonally…

“Eh? Something’s not right.”

In the darkness, Li Changshou frowned. Images overlapped in his heart, and he quickly organized them.

There is also a group of ambushers in the southwest!

The enemies have decided to split up!

However…

It doesn’t matter…

Li Changshou split his attention into two and multi-tasked to activate ‘Earth’ Paper Effigy No. 5.

Using the paper effigy, he activated a layer of poisonous arrays in the south-west direction and found a pool to hide in.

After carefully observing for a while, Li Changshou chuckled.

The current situation was indeed beyond his expectations. He had to admit that there was a certain element of luck involved…

He had used two of the three “‘sneak attack paths” that he had set up the Poison Arrays in!

The enemies are really warm and considerate. I’m afraid that his efforts will be wasted.

Soon, both of Li Changshou’s paper effigies sensed the pressure from a Golden Immortal.

There were two paths in the southwest and one in the north.

Three Golden Immortals?

Although Li Changshou had sensed that the Dao runes of the three Golden Immortals were a little strange, the suppression of the Golden Immortals was real.

Three Golden Immortals…

The situation is a little unpredictable. It is indeed not easy to deal with.

In the darkness, Li Changshou closed his eyes again and muttered in his heart…

‘Human’ Paper Daoist No.3, activate!

In the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou, who was in a daze while sitting in front of the Pill Furnace, trembled. His eyes gradually glistened.

He immediately shut down the array around the Little Qiong Peak and sent a voice transmission to Ling’e.

Ling’e, who was cultivating the Water Escape and Earth Escape on the surface of the lake, was momentarily stunned. Then, she jumped into the air and rushed towards the straw hut by the lake…

“Master! Senior had fainted in the Pill Chamber! Quickly go and take a look!”

Listening to Ling’e’s panicky shouting, Li Changshou’s attention was attracted by the enemies that were three thousand kilometers north-west.

The group of powerful enemies has entered the Poison Array…

They had been flying close to the ground and hiding their figures, but they had neglected the path ahead.

More than ten figures at the front rushed into the first poison array in the northwest direction.

The poisonous fog exploded, and two people immediately fell!

However, the other ten-odd people’s expressions did not change at all. Their reactions were also quite fast. The glows of immortal powers and demonic powers bloomed around them as they took out the antidotes and stuffed it into their mouths. They immediately retreated backward…

The formation that those people were charging at immediately became chaotic.

“There’s an array formation!”

“It’s a simple trap made of poisonous pills. They are indeed cautious. They used their powers to blow open the array formation!”

“Break through quickly!

“Don’t miss the opportunity to meet up!”

Immediately, a few Heaven Immortal realm demons moved forward and activated their divine powers, blowing away the Poison Arrays effortlessly.

In that short moment, the dozen or so people who had rushed into the Poison Array previously spat out blood and howled miserably. Their essence souls flew away.

The Myriad Poison Pill was of extraordinary quality.

Current results: Six Perfected Immortals Down in One Day.

Soon after, the group of enemies from the southwest also rushed into the forest where the first Poison Array was located.

Li Changshou found the right time to activate the poisonous array formation. As the green fog danced in the air, five more Perfected Immortals were down.

Another Heaven Immortal’s essence soul had been poisoned, and he had lost his combat strength in a short period of time.

Poison Array harassment tactic, Green Gate!

Speaking of which, Elder Wan Linyun was too biased towards the color green. The poisonous fog and poisonous powder of the Poison Pill were an intense green color…

Li Changshou was different. He wanted the poison to be colorless and tasteless.

Li Changshou maintained his escape technique to keep the paper effigies going. They then fused with the trees and ponds.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, continued to observe in the dark. Through the two paper effigies, he controlled the subsequent Poison Array…

The ambushers still did not realize what was going on in front of them. They did not change their path at all and continued charging forward.

It seems that these guys have a problem with thinking after being controlled.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart and observed the situation inside the sect.

Um…

It was still very peaceful.

The Immortal Du Sect had arranged for secret guards to guard against the enemy from a distance of five hundred kilometers away from the sect.

That was because the Sect Leader and the elders felt that that distance was enough for them to react in time after discovering the enemy.

However, Li Changshou believed that the Sect Leader and the elders… were too confident.

Of course, he would not stand out and say those things. He was just a “poor-quality junior immortal” on the Little Qiong Peak.

The only thing he could do was to secretly expand the surveillance range to 3,500 kilometers and focus on a few paths.

He continued to monitor the southwest and northwest with his mind.

The two groups of black shadows had a tacit understanding as well. Almost at the same time, they bypassed a Poison Array hidden by Li Changshou and charged into another one.

The green fog exploded once again. The two places of explosions were thousands of kilometers apart, and seven to eight figures were swept up during each explosion.

Li Changshou used the cobweb to search carefully. Indeed, he had once again captured the traces of the Blood Mosquitoes on the Perfected Immortals who had been poisoned.

The Blood Mosquitoes that appeared this time quickly turned into blood Qi and dissipated.

This situation…

It is very possible that the ‘Daoist Wen’ no longer cared about the matters in this place. She had probably left early to avoid being targeted by a master of the Ren School…

If that was the case, the Immortal Du Sect would have a higher chance of winning.

In total, there were seventy-eight demons, humans, and spirits of the Heaven Immortal realm, three Golden Immortals who were in a strange state, and more than a thousand Perfected Immortals.

The force formed an obvious suppression on the Immortal Du Sect.

Moreover, Li Changshou was not sure if there were any other ambushers in the other directions that he could not detect…

He had to consider that.

From the looks of it, this is indeed the tribulation of the Immortal Du Sect.

The only Golden Immortal he knew in the sect was the Sect Leader. There were only over fifty Heaven Immortals and Elders. There were many Perfected Immortals and Essence Immortals in the sect, but he did not know how much combat power they could unleash.

During normal circumstances, the Immortal Du Sect was used to being quiet and unoccupied. They rarely practiced the formations of a hundred or a thousand people.

Had they spent half of the efforts they spent on their Dao companions, on practicing the arrays… Li Changshou wouldn’t have had such a hard time!

The attackers from both directions were also tough-headed. They advanced a hundred kilometers and suffered three consecutive losses. Only then did they slow down and start to use their Dharma treasures to test the situation.

It’s exactly as if they are trying to say…

Are you impressive just because you have plenty of Poison Arrays?

I will use my life to resist!

Li Changshou chuckled and did not think too much about it. He focused on controlling the two paper effigies and the opportunity to activate the Poison Array…

Soon, the battle results increased to more than forty Perfected Immortals, three Heaven Immortals, and four severely Heaven Immortals.

Although Li Changshou had yet to injure his opponent, his opponent’s speed had slowed down, giving Li Changshou more chances to prepare.

The effect of the Poison Array is not bad. I can focus on it in the future…

Sensing that his master and junior were already approaching the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou split his attention and focused on the paper effigy.

Due to the fact that he had set up too many paper effigies, Li Changshou had also made detailed arrangements.

The ‘Heavenly’ paper effigies were in charge of surrounding the enemies after the battle began.

They each carried a large number of original paper effigies and poisonous powder. Li Changshou ensured that their auras and looks did not have any similarities with his.

Their entrance was after the battle erupted. When the battle ended, the paper effigies would quickly retreat.

The ‘Earth’ paper effigies were responsible for warning Li Changshou and injuring the enemy before the battle. They were mainly used to control the Poison Array. Their auras and looks were completely different from Li Changshou.

Two ‘Earth’ paper effigies were currently performing their intended functions.

The ‘Human’ paper effigies were responsible for protecting his junior and master. Although there were few of them, they were all arranged beside the latter.

For example, the ‘Human’ Paper Effigy No. 3 was in charge of accompanying his junior and master later. It was pretending to be Li Changshou’s real body and was rushing to the earth meridians with Ling’e to escape…

Little Qiong Peak’s Recovery Array would be taken over by the ‘Heaven’ paper effigy. It was also a ‘trap’ that could bury powerful enemies.

A few thumps could be heard outside the Pill Chamber. A few spirit-cultivation Jade-Eating Frogs had jumped into the pond…

Ling’e and Qi Yuan yelled.

“Senior!”

“Changshou, what’s wrong?”

Two figures rushed into the array formation outside the Pill Chamber…
