Loyal and Brave Man Rosen spread his Ethereal Wings and flew into the sky. This scene made Lu Chen feel ecstatic and envious. Flesh cannot fly; this is a theorem.
Yin Spirit can fly, but it cannot take care of Flesh during battle, which is quite inconvenient.
However, if there were a divine artifact like the Nether War Armor, it could accommodate both Flesh and Yin Spirit. The Nether War Armor has wings, just like birds have wings, allowing it to fly. Even in front of enemies, there would be no fear of them ambushing Flesh, as the Nether War Armor has sharp resistance that ordinary swords cannot break.
But this powerful weapon is possessed only by Rosen. Other soldiers can only look on helplessly, indicating its extreme rarity and value. It is estimated that there are not many in the entire Great Zhou Court.
Rosen flapped his Ethereal Wings and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the clouds. He was going to join forces with Yellow Scorpion Master’s Yin Spirit to confront Ye Nanzhai.
As soon as Rosen entered the cloud layer, a series of roars erupted from above, resonating down to the ground. There were flashes of lightning within the clouds, illuminating intermittently.
At the same time, an Imperial Aura descended from above the clouds, enveloping the entire Mountain Valley. That feeling was akin to the presence of a Sovereign, as if the Jade Emperor was about to descend.
This was Ye Nanzhai’s Emperor's Art, relying solely on his strength to face two opponents!
Everyone looked up at the sky with various emotions—some worried, some delighted, and some confident.
However, the white clouds above were thick like cotton balls, layered upon each other, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening in the battle above. Just thinking about it, a flying Qi Master and a Yin Master joining forces against another half-Void Immortal, the old demon Yin Zhen, promised an extraordinary spectacle.
Lu Chen anxiously observed and occasionally heard whispers from Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu nearby.
He heard Yellow Scorpion Master say: “Ye Laomo has already been entangled by Centipede Brother and General Rosen, so he definitely cannot spare any attention for his disciples. Look at those rebels from the Red Robe Sect, they all look disheveled and exhausted; they must be worn out by now. This is our chance to subdue them all; this would count as an achievement. If we succeed in eliminating these bandits, perhaps we, the Three Poisons Wanderer, will gain fame and fortune. Moreover, our attack on Ye Laomo’s disciples will surely affect his Mindset, making it difficult for him to focus on fighting.”
On another side of the battlefield, Rosen’s Regular Army and the disciples of the Red Robe Sect had ceased hostilities but remained in a standoff position with swords drawn. The atmosphere was tense; any slight movement could reignite conflict.
Lu Chanchu nodded in agreement but pursed her lips, trying hard not to show her age. After all, she was still a woman who valued her beauty despite being older.
Taking a deep breath, her expression turned worried as she said: “Since Centipede Brother has asked us to protect his Flesh, it might not be appropriate for us to take matters into our own hands and attack the disciples of the Red Robe Sect. My biggest concern is that if we leave Centipede Brother’s Flesh unprotected here, it could provide an opportunity for those with ill intentions. If anything happens to his Flesh, how will we explain it to him?”
Upon hearing this, Yellow Scorpion’s face tightened as he nodded: “What you say makes sense; since it concerns Centipede Brother’s Flesh, we must deliberate carefully.”
With that, both fell into deep thought, each considering their options.
Suddenly, Yellow Scorpion Master’s eyes lit up: “By the way, Toad Junior, what is it that makes our Three Poisons Wanderer from Shark Island so feared? Have you forgotten?”
Lu Chanchu smirked coldly and nodded: “How could I forget? The Flying Centipede of Centipede Brother, your brotherhood’s Scorpion King, and my own green poison—we are all masters of toxins. If we don’t raise one or two personal ‘treasures’, how can we proceed?”
Lu Chanchu's close companion is the poison creature raised by each of the Three Poisons Wanderers. Zhao Centipede's Flying Centipede, Yellow Scorpion Master's Scorpion King, and Lu Chanchu's Green.
All are highly toxic creatures, usually fed with poisonous insects mixed with their own blood. This way, the poison can become the deadliest of poisons, and it can subtly establish a telepathic connection with its master, which is a rather mysterious method of raising them.
At this point, Yellow Scorpion Master looked somewhat sad and said, "But my Scorpion King has fallen victim to the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad from the Five Element Sect and Pure Yang True Person, and his life or death is uncertain. If it weren't for the Five Element Sect shielding Pure Yang Child, I would have long sought him out for retribution."
"I have heard about this matter. Brother Scorpion, there's no need to be sad. A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too late. We, the Three Poisons Wanderers, are now siding with the King of Qi to help him hunt in the Central Plains. Once our mission is accomplished, the three of us will at least be able to attain the title of Three Masters and Three Officials. If we lack any resources then, we can directly ask King of Qi to issue a decree for collection. By the time we three cultivate into Void Immortals, as three Virtual Immortal Masters, would we still fear the Five Element Sect?" Lu Chanchu comforted Yellow Scorpion Master.
Upon hearing Lu Chanchu's comforting words, Yellow Scorpion Master stroked his slightly graying goat beard and felt much better. He said, "Toad Junior makes a good point. Once we Three Poisons Wanderers become three Void Immortals, even the Five Element Sect will have to give us face."
After a pause, Yellow Scorpion Master asked again, "Toad Junior, are you planning to let Green deal with the disciples of Red Robe Sect?"
Hearing this, Lu Chanchu's face turned slightly red as he replied, "My Green has already entered Dog Days and is not very convenient."
Yellow Scorpion Master immediately felt awkward upon hearing this and said, "This makes things difficult. My Scorpion King is not here; how can we help Centipede Brother? We Three Poisons Wanderers have always been like branches of the same tree, as close as siblings. Letting him go into battle while we stand by idly would be too shameful."
Lu Chanchu's expression brightened as he said leisurely, "Right! Centipede Brother's Yin Spirit has left his body, but Flying Centipede is still here. Why don't we release Flying Centipede to give it a try?"
Yellow Scorpion Master suddenly became excited and said, "Good! Flying Centipede is Centipede Brother's treasured companion—extremely poisonous and capable of flight. A single bite could kill even a great immortal; it would be more than enough to deal with those ordinary disciples. If Centipede Brother's Yin Spirit challenges Red Robe Sect Leader Ye Nanzhai and his treasured companion poisons hundreds of Red-Clad Disciples, this would surely become a legendary tale."
However, Yellow Scorpion Master's expression suddenly changed as he worriedly said, "But Flying Centipede only communicates with Centipede Brother's Intentions; it is not nourished by our blood. I'm afraid it won't listen to us."
Lu Chanchu smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Scorpion worries too much; just watch me."
Lu Chanchu walked over to Zhao Centipede's Flesh and squatted down beside it. He took a palm-sized basket from Zhao Centipede. The bamboo basket was round and intricately woven from fine willow branches.
Lu Chanchu lifted the lid of the basket and then pressed out a drop of blood from his right middle finger using Qigong, letting it drip into the basket. The fingertip connects to the heart; poison raisers often press blood from their fingers to feed their poisons. This act is called blood nurturing and also allows for Intentions to be transmitted through the dripped blood.
After dropping blood into the basket, shortly after, a centipede about the thickness of a thumb crawled out from inside. Its segments were clearly defined as it slowly wriggled with a dark green sheen.
The Flying Centipede crawled out of the basket, extending its inch-long tentacles while looking around as if searching for direction.
After a moment, the Flying Centipede transformed into a streak of black light and shot off toward the direction where Red Robe Sect's disciples were located.
Beside them, Yellow Scorpion Master was both surprised and delighted; he quickly flattered Lu Chanchu saying, "Toad Junior! How did you learn to control Flying Centipede? I truly admire you greatly!"
"Brother Scorpion overpraises me; this isn't control at all. When it comes to controlling Flying Centipede, only Centipede Brother can do that. Mainly because these days I’ve been with him often and have seen him demonstrate his abilities multiple times. He took time to patiently explain it to me once when he had the chance. So just now I used a drop of blood and added my Intentions inside to summon it."
"Indeed," the Yellow Scorpion Master nodded and continued discussing matters with Lu Chanchu.
Lu Chen's spirit jolted, realizing the gravity of the situation. Lu Chanchu was using Zhao Centipede's Flying Centipede to distract Ye Nanzhai, aiming to affect his combat.
"The Red Robe Sect Leader just saved my life, and as the Incense Ambassador of the Red Robe Sect's Yushan Kingdom Branch, I cannot just stand by and watch my fellow disciples being slaughtered."
Thinking this, Lu Chen planned to release the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad to deal with the Flying Centipede. However, the Flying Centipede was too formidable; perhaps even the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad would not be its match, considering Zhao Centipede was the leader of the Three Poisons Wanderer and his poison techniques were incredibly powerful.
Lu Chen decided that if it came down to it, he would use the Xuan Yin Flying Sword to slay the Flying Centipede. So far, the Xuan Yin Flying Sword had never failed him, and he was confident in that regard.
However, he could not use these two things in front of so many people; otherwise, he would put himself in an unjust position. He indeed intended to help Ye Nanzhai but also needed to ensure his own safety as a prerequisite.
With this in mind, Lu Chen quietly withdrew from the crowd and ran to a nearby hillside where he could overlook the entire Mountain Valley. During this process, everyone's attention was drawn to the battle between Ye Nanzhai and Zhao Centipede, as well as Rosen, so no one noticed him.
Removing a black cloth bag from his body, Lu Chen released the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad.
The Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad landed on the ground, puffing up its large white belly. Then, as if it had caught a whiff of something it liked, it croaked twice and leaped energetically towards the Flying Centipede.
