You used poison? How did you use poison?

The voice was filled with shock. However it seemed weak and without strength, Ant Zhenren seemed to have gone all out and used all of his body protecting treasures. However, before he could open them up using soul power, they all collapsed towards the ground.

Zong Shou was too lazy to speak, slashing out the fire yin sword and cutting off the head of Ant Zhenren.

The sword light twisted as it destroyed his soul, cleanly ending this persons life.

The moment Ant Zhenren had fallen, the beast swarm entered a chaotic state.

Those demon fire crystal ants all charged about. However, as they were already poisoned and injured, although they were chaotic, they seemed lacking in strength. As for that giant-sized crystal ant it directly exploded its body, blood and meat scattering about. Without Ant Zhenrens help, it couldnt even maintain its body shape.

As for all the remaining flying ants, they all fell to the ground with no strength to fly anymore.

Pretty much at the same time, tens of miles away, Lihans expression was white as paper.

This scent is poisonous!

His hand scratching his neck, pretty much unable to breathe. He went all out to shove all the poison curing pills in his heaven and earth bag into his mouth,

Xiong Yus face also turned red, wishing that she could slap Lihan. It wasnt much that he couldnt bear with the poison, but he still wanted to act tough. A few breaths ago he acted strong and took in a few deep breaths, it would be a surprise if he wasnt poisoned.

She blamed herself for being dumb, thinking that Lihan was knowledgeable and with an ascended cultivation would be able to deduce whether or not it was poisonous. She cant believe she believed him.

Luckily she was in a better state. The moment she realized something was wrong, alertness rose up in her heart once more as she stopped breathing.

Although she was poisoned, she wasnt too badly poisoned. At this moment she also took out several poison curing pills out and used her true qi to force out the poison.

In the end, she realized that it was useless. That poison toxin merged with his true qi. One inside the other, wrapping around one another, it was impossible to separate one from the other. The pill didnt affect it very much.

She only felt her head go intensely dizzy. The threads of energy were spreading out. Even if she used the energy around her to forcefully dispel it, she was unable to do so. On the contrary, it continuously seeped into her pores. Her body felt like it was on fire and was about to combust. She wished that she could tear apart her clothes.

Its the Pill Fountain Sects golden scorpion powder? No, it should be a mixed poison

In her memory, only the famous golden scorpion powder of the Pill Fountain Sect had such an effect. However, in it mixed with other types of poison that she couldnt bear even a single type of it.

Looking around her at Lihan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground devoid of energy and trying to get rid of the poison. Xiong Yu hesitated for a while before turning around and leaving without hesitation. Her body raced through the air like that of lightning. It wasnt that she didnt want to bring Lihan away, but that poison was becoming sharper and sharper. Her consciousness was becoming heavier and heavier. If she wasted just a bit of time, with a bit of a burden, there was a chance that she would die there.

At this moment Xiong Yus brain only had one thought which was to escape. Before she lost consciousness to get as far away as possible.

On the corpse of Ant Zhenren, Zong Shous soul had already driven the sword and returned to his own body. Following which he flew back into the sky above Ant Zhenren.

He looked curiously into the south, there seemed to be some movement there. 2 rats seemed to be affected by his hundred-mile quiet scent, really interesting

His lips curled up, he didnt have the mood to deal with it now. When he turned around, he saw Zong Yuan looking over at the ant swarm with fear in his heart. All of them were taking their final breaths and were not far away from death.

Ruler if this poison is used on the battlefield, we can spend no effort at all to deal with millions of troops. Even ascended experts who didnt know about the situation wouldnt be able to escape the schemes.

However, Zong Shou shook his head slightly, Although this hundred-mile quiet scent is good, it goes against the heavens.

In the future, there were many examples of people using chemical warfare. However, these people often ended up in a bad state.

Even the demon sects, after suffering for a few times, from the combined efforts of the righteous path sects to try to destroy them.

Zong Shou himself couldnt bring himself to do such things. He was unscrupulous to achieve his goals but he did have his bottom line.

That Zong Yuan was unwilling to see these poisonous things appear on the battlefield. After he heard that his face relaxed, his brows focusing and saying, Who knows where that demon crystal queen has been hidden by Ant Zhenren, let me go search

There is probably no need, that demon fire queen is most probably here.

Zong Shou shook his head and used his sword to slash up the clothing of Ant Zhenren.

In the next moment, he saw that the back of this Ant Zhenren had become the body of an insect.

It wasnt that he had become a bug but that the 2 of them had completely merged.

Even with Zong Yuans experience, he couldnt help but feel like vomiting.

He had killed uncountable amounts of people, there were no less than a thousand that died under his hands in the battlefield. He had seen all sorts of disgusting and gory situations like it was a common everyday issue, however, this was the 1st time he saw such a situation.

As expected, it the life sharing technique, no wonder he could make this queen his natural protector. However, this fellow succeeded in this and was also defeated by this

Zong Shou shook his head and felt a little emotional inside. Although this technique could let him gain the help of hundreds of thousands of crystal ants, ability to go against grade 7 even peak grade 7 experts. But after the body merges with the ant queen, be it spiritual or martial cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to break through grade 7. It pretty much ended all hope of improving anymore.

That Ant Zhenren also had a small heaven and earth bag that he carried beside him. Zong Shou smiled and casually reached out, taking it into his hand.

A moment later he took out an item. It was a Ling flower branch and on it grew 2 fruits which were already ripened. Both of them combined, unable to separate from one another.

Combined branch lingzi? This person was probably here not for the thing hidden in the bottle but for the grade 8 dragon soul

At that moment Zong Shou came to his senses. This combined branch lingzi was probably what Ant Zhenren used to merge with the queen ant.

This persons luck was so good, who knows where did he manage to find such a pair of combined branch Lingzi.

If he could turn the soul of the grade 8 giant lightning dragon into a natural protector, borrowing its top yang ability, he could probably be able to separate the demon fire ant queen from him.

Bursting out into a laugh, Zong Shou carefully slashed open the body of the demon fire ant queen.

In the next moment, numerous eggs appeared from within. They were only the size of the eye of a needle which was hidden in a sac. Zong Yuan felt disgusted when he thought about how these demon fire crystal ants were born from the body of the Ant Zhenren, he felt his chest roll. However, he forcefully bore with it, looking carefully. Following which he was attracted by a golden egg sac which was within.

As compared to the other ant eggs this was much bigger, the size of a fist. It was light gold and on it were numerous starry spots.

Zong Shou also noticed, using his sword to flick at it before he managed to grab it in his hand. His closed his eyes and observed for a moment and knew what it was.

Its the egg left by the queen. After it is born it would be another demon fire queen

These type of swarm type beasts would always leave a descendant to pass on their bloodline.

Having an egg of the queen left was something he expected.

Zong Yuan, on the other hand, was surprised and knew that this queen level crystal ant was the most top class protector beast.

Not discussing how it could cross grades to battle, just the unlimited amount of ants, when developed to a high grade it was like having a hundred thousand strong army that listened to your every command! Furthermore, they all werent normal soldiers and were all above the xiantian grade!

Zong Shous face was calm like normal, Unfortunately after this queen is born it is at most grade 4

A grade 4 demon fire crystal ant, the strongest soldier ant it produces would only be grade 3.5 and it would spend huge amounts of time to do so.

To him, it was something of dubious worth that he was reluctant to give up on.

Although the demon fire ant swarm was strong, it didnt fit his fighting style and it was kind of disgusting.

Suddenly he was slightly tempted as he recalled what Dragon Shadow old man told him before he left.

.He said that he didnt need to be too careful in the future. That heaven swallow venerable, although he went crazy due to the technique, it was mostly because he abused it.

He also said that the heaven swallow venerable had gone wrong in some areas. In the future, he could look closely into it and not stop eating for the fear of choking.

All these thoughts were a perfect fit with him. Before this, he had a feeling that if this heaven swallow energy conversion technique was used just to steal other peoples energy to be used as your own, it would be too much of a waste.

Recently when he formed that swallow word true spiritual talisman and comprehended the mysteries behind it, the more he felt like that.

Thinking about it that way, the inspiration in his mind was becoming more and more clear.

His pupils first spread out wide, with no anxiousness at all, following which it contracted and showed a sharp glow.

In the next instance, Zong Shous body flashed. Within this ten-mile radius, he started drawing runes and patterns and also placed down numerous beast crystals all over.

In the end, he managed to rush back to Ant Zhenren before those demon fire crystal ants all took their last breath,

He first drew down numerous purify word talismans densely on the egg using spiritual ink along with grade 7 beast crystals, causing it to be covered with no parts left out.

Following which he wiped the antidote of the hundred-mile quiet scent on the golden colored ant egg.

He took in a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his thoughts about the outcome. Then he chanted out the word swallow as he grabbed the ant egg and instantly the heaven swallow energy conversion technique exploded out.

Instantly in the space around the area, many ant souls rose up from the corpses of the crystal ants. Following which a vast strength crushed them as they gathered towards Zong Shou.

And also that huge amount of blood and meat, a moment later they all dissolved and turned into vital and essence energy. It was directed by the formation that Zong Shou had placed down towards the center of the formation.

However, Zong Shou didnt absorb all these into his body but directly transferring it bit by bit into that crystal ant egg.
