With the order, these disciples suddenly became nervous. Originally, they had the mentality of a bystander watching a show, but now, they became the authorities. Although they were full of fear towards Ling Zetian, Pavilion Master Sui said that there would be rewards. As the saying goes, humans die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food. These guys seemed to be on steroids. Since they had the advantage in numbers, none of them were afraid.
"Hehe, a bunch of mobs. Bring it on. If one comes, I'll kill one. If two come, I'll kill a pair!"
Ling Zetian had a look of anticipation. This guy's acting skills were top-notch. In fact, he was focusing all his attention on restraining Ling Zetian. He was afraid of being disturbed by the outside world.
It was just that these people couldn't see any clues, which gave Ling Zetian an opportunity to intimidate them. Seeing his calm expression, the disciples of the True Martial Pavilion had the urge to retreat.
"Senior Brother Wang, don't dawdle. Hurry up and go. You're the number one figure in our Martial Arts Hall. You always complain that you don't have an opponent. Now, your chance is here!"
"Shut up. He's the protector of the Five Poison Sect. Do you think I'll hit him with a hammer?"
"That's right. What's the difference between this and suicide?
Although the Pavilion Master cherishes talent, he can't let us be like moths to a flame! "
Under the deterrence of Ling Zetian, almost no one dared to approach him. They just watched from afar.
At that moment, Pavilion Leader Sui and Elder Tang were locked in a fierce battle. The strength of the two of them was unimaginably strong. Every time they fought, the aftermath of their fight would raise a strong wind. Fortunately, the cultivation of the people present was at the peak of Covert Power, so they were not affected much.
Seeing these disciples' cowardly behavior, Pavilion Master Sui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If he could protect that kid, it would be worth it even if a few disciples died. However, they were as timid as mice.
A playful expression appeared on Ling Zetian's face as he shook his head and said, "Ai, you guys don't dare to do it. I'm very embarrassed. My Five Sacred Gu has been malnourished recently, so it's your honor to become its food."
Even a fool could see that Ling Zetian was acting cool, but they only dared to curse in their hearts.
However, at this time, Ling Zetian's face suddenly stiffened. He just realized that he had lost contact with the Five Sacred Gu. It was really strange.
The next moment, before he could react, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest. Bang, bang, bang!
These consecutive sounds caused the two big shots to stop fighting. Smoke continuously rose from Ling Zetian's body, accompanied by the visual effect of an explosion, as if firecrackers had been set up.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Is he performing acrobatics?
Before long, the clothes on Ling Zetian's upper body were mostly blown up. A huge tattoo could be seen on his back, which was that of the monstrous bug. After dozens of explosions, his back was badly mutilated, which made the tattoo look abnormally ferocious and terrifying.
"Argh …" Ling Zetian kept groaning in pain. He couldn't help but squat down and clench his fists tightly. He could only feel a stinging burning sensation coming from his back. It was as if he was in a sea of fire and a mountain of knives. This feeling made him wish he was dead.
Soon, dark red spots of light appeared on the monstrous bug's tattoo. They looked like densely packed blood spots. As the number of blood spots increased, Ling Zetian's back actually formed a shocking stream of blood.
What was even more shocking was that there were many young faces flashing around the stream of blood. It was like a slideshow, and their angry and unwilling expressions were all clearly visible.
"What!" Elder Tang, who was not far away, was shocked when he saw this.
According to his understanding, this should be the legendary vengeful spirit's backlash. To put it bluntly, the Five Sacred Gu had to sacrifice at least a hundred martial artists' blood essence to grow. When those people were enjoying good food and drinks, they were extremely grateful to the Five Poison Sect. However, when faced with the actual situation of sacrificing their blood essence, they were extremely unwilling. However, they were already meat on the chopping block and had no way to resist.
In fact, this was the same logic as raising and killing pigs. Even if those people managed to leave the Five Poison Sect alive, they would not have a good ending. However, most of them died in the Five Poison Sect directly. Even if they were thrown outside and buried alive, it would still erase the deep resentment of the deceased. As time passed, a vengeful spirit would be formed. This thing was extremely evil. It could not be seen or touched, and was even more terrifying than the people of the Devil Dao.
As the saying went, every debt had a debtor. The vengeful spirit would definitely target the Gu Master. Of course, the Five Poison Sect had hundreds and thousands of years of history. Naturally, they had a foothold. Hundreds of years ago, they had created a Tattoo Suppression Technique. If one wanted to refine such a domineering Gu Poison, one had to use a secret technique to imprint the Gu Poison's image on the chest or back.
With the deterrence of the Gu Master and the Gu Poison, one would not be affected even if the vengeful spirit was around.
However, nothing was absolute. It was said that when the Gu Poison was destroyed, its deterrence would be at its lowest. The vengeful spirit that had been suppressed for a long time would also unleash its power together, bringing a destructive blow to the Gu Master.
Elder Tang was a little flustered. Even though he knew that it was the vengeful spirit's backlash, he did not dare to act recklessly. If he got into trouble, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
At that moment, Elder Tang could be said to be puzzled. If it was any other Gu Poison that was destroyed, it would not be a big deal. However, it had to be the Five Sacred Gu. After all, this was the Five Poison Sect's supreme Gu. The number of people who could truly refine it could be counted on one hand. Even he could only be envious and jealous.
The Five Sacred Venomous Insect was a kind of comprehensive venomous insect poison that combined a strong attack and an invisible defense. Its special refining method made the Venomous Insect stay in a void state, similar to a human soul. This was also the reason why that strange insect could get into my body without any resistance.
Actually, it did not have a physical body, so my power suppression was completely ineffective. However, this greedy strange insect wanted to absorb my pure Yang blood essence, but it went for wool and came home shorn.
