A bunch of venomous creatures with a foul stench gathered together in the air to form a visible black cloud. They moved toward Mu Clan like a locust swarm.

  The Mu Clan members who had kept calm could not help but suck in sharp breaths when they saw this. Their arrows had become completely useless.

  There were too many of the venomous creatures!

  It was impossible for arrows to deal any significant damage to the swarm.

  “Let me!” Wind Chimes’ gaze focused and she prepared to head to the frontline with her zither when Silver Wolf grabbed her.

  “Don’t need. There’s no need for you to make a fuss for something as simple as this.”

  There was a faint hint of shock and a myriad of emotions in Silver Wolf’s eyes. “Happy has long since predicted that Class One Hall would take action against Mu Clan. Just as he expected, they used venomous creatures.”

  He stopped talking for a moment and shouted an order, “Realgar!”

  A row of people at the front of the formation threw out yellow powder at the entrance, and it swiftly covered the empty area ahead of them.

  Disorder appeared among the venomous creatures.

  The snakes refused to move forward no matter how their Venom Masters ordered them to. Some of the venomous creatures behind them were also affected. Once they entered the realgar region, they swayed about and could not move forward much even after a long time had passed.

  “What’s going on?!”

  Blood Robes saw the venomous swarm about to surge into Mu Clan, but they did not enter even after a long while. His expression immediately changed, and he grabbed a Venom Master to demand answers from him.

  “Realgar powder only chases away venomous snakes for a while. Why are the other venomous creatures not moving forward?!”

  The Venom Master looked at him with panic and bitterness on his face. “Boss Blood, I don’t know this either! There might be other things mixed inside that realgar!”

  “What?”

  “There are certain items effective against insects in the market, so it’s not surprising that Mu Clan might have them……” the Venom Master answered.

  “Bastard!” Blood Robes released the man’s collar.

  He had thought that he could use the venomous swarm to spread chaos through Mu Clan’s formation at lightning speed, and the people of the world would bear witness to Class One Hall’s strength once more! To his shock, however, Mu Clan reacted quickly and completely destroyed his plan.

  Before he could execute his next one, there was movement from Mu Clan’s side.

  Fire descended on the venomous swarm, and the creatures instantly descended into chaos!

  \r \r \r

  The sudden volley of fire arrows panicked the venomous creatures, and shrill, urgent screeches of pain could be heard nonstop. The large swarm of black venomous creatures moved and rammed into each other blindly.

  They did not dare go to the places with realgar, so it was only natural that they went back toward Class One Hall and Towering Palace, shocking the Venom Masters so much that they quickly put away their venomous pets in a flurry of motion.

  When Clear Music saw the strange technique of Class One Hall being easily dissolved by Mu Clan, she turned her head around and said to the gentle looking middle-aged man beside her, “That wall over there is about to collapse. At that time, launch a full frontal assault and bring it down in one go!”

  The middle-aged man quirked his eyebrow before he smoothed it out once more.

  “When I came here, I told you that I will definitely help you, and I will not go back on my word. After all, we have Illusion Life and Death Pills, so we will naturally do our best. When necessary, please just order us as you please, Palace Master Music.”

  “I wouldn’t dare order you. You’re the vice sect master of the greatest sect in America, and we’re business partners. But if you destroy Mu Clan, it will be a great help for you when you develop your occupational players in the future.”

  Clear Music seemed to be able to see Mu Clan falling into decline after the battle, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

  *****

  Wind Chimes and the others on the roof watched the venomous creatures either die or be put away. The great danger was resolved in the blink of an eye, and they released a long breath of relief. After all, no one wanted to fight against those things at a close-distance.

  “By the way, Big Brother Silver Wolf, how did that realgar manage to block all those venomous creatures?” many people on the roof asked with puzzlement in their hearts.

  They had some understanding toward venomous creatures. Realgar could cure poison and chase away snakes, but only a certain number of them. Its power should not be this strong.

  Silver Wolf answered without hiding anything. “Happy once had me prepare a batch of realgar powder with other insect parts in it. He also asked me to mix in other medicinal herbs that can cause venomous creatures to be dazed or go berserk.

  “I had someone test it before, and it’s effective. This time, Happy told me to be careful of Class One Hall using insects, which is why I prepared a batch of that powder. I didn’t expect us to really need to use it.”

  Silence fell, and the people looked at each other wide-eyed.

  They did not expect that Happy would notice and create such a method to counter the venomous insects.

  Naturally, they did not know that Happy used the experience from his previous life and his in-depth knowledge of Class One Hall’s methods as well as their strategies that allowed them to win with amazing techniques to predict what they would do next.

  At that moment, Little North, who had not said a single word, brought out a small bamboo tube from his Universe Bag in a very smug manner and smiled mysteriously. “Boss Happy actually told me that if a high-grade venomous creature that isn’t afraid of our realgar appears, I was to release this……”

  “What’s that?”

  “A Golden Thread Snake King. It’s as strong as an Inaction Realm martial artist, and it can catch people off guard. Happy almost died in its hands once.”

  Little North held the bamboo tube carefully, and a cold glare shone in his eyes. “When we were ambushed last time, I didn’t expect them to be so powerful, so I didn’t have the chance to bring out the bamboo tube when I drew close to them, which was why they were able to get the jump on me. This time, if those men in black dare show up, I’ll definitely let them know just how powerful is the Golden Thread Snake King!”

  Silence fell again, and the group sucked in a sharp breath.

  They had never heard of a Golden Thread Snake King before, but if it was something that nearly killed Happy, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.

  At that moment, huge bangs rose continuously.

  Everyone’s expressions changed! They turned their heads around, and two portions of the outer wall below them collapsed one after the other.

  The powerful men then were all shot dead!

  Nearly two-thirds of the wall was destroyed, and the inside of Mu Clan’s branch could be seen clearly. The Mu Clan members could sense the restlessness of the black mass of people across from them, and they made final preparations.

  They could no longer avoid the battle!

  *****

  “Attack!”

  When Blood Robes saw the wall collapse, he did not continue pushing forward while advancing carefully. Instead, after he observed the inside for a while and waited for the messenger from Towering Palace to come back, he ordered a full frontal assault!

  Bang!

  A tragic but beautiful firework exploded in the sky.

  Boom!

  The black mass of Class One Hall members and Towering Palace members all around Mu Clan turned into fierce tigers who were released from their shackles. They swung the weapons in their hands, activated their qi realms and body fortifications, and rushed toward Mu Clan like a tidal wave.

  “Kill them!”

  They no longer chose to push forward steadily by using arrows to open the path for them.

  Instead, they chose close-quarters combat and the most direct and brutal warfare that would result in bloodshed!

  Clear Music watched coldly as the large group of people rushed toward Mu Clan’s outer defense line. She also saw the twenty or so black figures swiftly join the crowd.

  Her heart burned.

  The ground shook!

  Mu Clan’s age of glory was about to come to an end!

  Yangzhou’s ground trembled!

  When the Mu Clan elites sensed the pressure that rapidly increased from everywhere and the grim, murderous aura from the horde of enemies that numbered several times their own, even they felt a cold sweat pool in their palms.

  They waited, and continued waiting……

  Clang!

  They waited until a series of agitated, terrifying zither notes suddenly rose among the cries for murder from their enemies. The air trembled violently, and countless large sound blades charged over the Mu Clan elites’ heads. They rushed at the group which had charged into the courtyard.

  Class One Hall and Towering Palace’s offense froze for a moment.

  Bang!

  Mu Clan’s elites seemed to have received the order to fight. Their qi surged, and their eyes turned bloodshot. They crashed into the enemies that came charging at them like a tidal wave.
