Chapter 905: Change of Events

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword, Ye Lang couldn't help but shiver. The yellow flood dragon dared not confront it and immediately turned to flee.

Wang Qingshan was clearly ready to fight to the death, and Huang Yuxu naturally didn't dare to engage him directly.

Ye Lang followed closely behind, but he didn't control his magic treasures to attack Wang Qingshan.

The Sky-Reaching Giant Sword circled once and flew in the opposite direction at an extremely fast speed.

Running away when you can't win; only a fool would persist when they know it's futile.

Given his current condition, he could at most severely injure Huang Yuxu, but killing him would be very difficult.

Ye Lang was slightly stunned when he saw this. He had initially thought Wang Qingshan was about to fight to the death, but it turned out to be a feint.

At this moment, the yellow flood dragon was several miles away from the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword.

"Bastard, you dare trick me? You're asking for death!"

The yellow flood dragon roared in human speech, exasperated, and was about to chase Wang Qingshan.

"Young Island Master, don't pursue a desperate enemy. This person is a disciple of the Carefree Sword Venerable. There's no guarantee the Carefree Sword Venerable hasn't bestowed some life-saving trump cards upon him. There's no need to take the risk. As long as there's life, there's hope. When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, he definitely won't be your match. Let's leave quickly! This area is controlled by the Taiyi Immortal Sect. It would be troublesome if we encountered their people."

Ye Lang advised earnestly.

His words made a lot of sense. Even a cornered rabbit will bite, and there was no telling if Wang Qingshan had any hidden life-saving trump cards.

"Chase! I refuse to believe he can run that far!"

The yellow flood dragon let out a deafening roar, transforming into a streak of yellow light as it pursued.

Ye Lang frowned, collected the bodies of his two companions, and followed.

As the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword passed, a piercing whooshing sound echoed through the air.

A flash of yellow light, and a dazzling yellow orb shot out from the yellow flood dragon's mouth, striking towards the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword.

A flash of green light, and the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword suddenly changed direction, dodging the attack.

Rumble!

The yellow orb hit the sea, causing the water to explode, revealing a vortex several tens of feet wide and waves over a dozen feet high.

The Sky-Reaching Giant Sword was in front, with the yellow flood dragon in hot pursuit, and Ye Lang bringing up the rear.

His lips moved a few times, clearly sending a telepathic message.

The Sky-Reaching Giant Sword's light intensified, accelerating its escape speed.

Half an hour later, the yellow flood dragon suddenly transformed into human form. Huang Yuxu's face was somewhat pale. He took out a blue pill and swallowed it, then conjured a yellow flying boat and jumped onto it.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle."

Huang Yuxu turned to Ye Lang and urged him.

Ye Lang quickly accelerated his escape and landed on the yellow flying boat.

"Go."

Huang Yuxu let out a low cry, casting a spell on the yellow flying boat. Just then, a black shadow suddenly flew out of Ye Lang's sleeve, pouncing like lightning towards Huang Yuxu's arm. At the same time, Ye Lang flicked his sleeve, and seven streaks of black light shot out, heading directly for Huang Yuxu.

A series of dull thuds followed as yellow scales emerged on Huang Yuxu's body, protecting him entirely.

A small black and gold snake bit Huang Yuxu's right arm. The snake's eyes were emerald green, but it failed to wound Huang Yuxu, as the yellow scales protected him.

Two streaks of black light struck Huang Yuxu's back but failed to penetrate his body.

The black lights were actually entirely black flying needles, seemingly imbued with potent poison.

Huang Yuxu's backside suddenly grew a long tail, which powerfully lashed at Ye Lang, sending him flying backward, spitting blood non-stop.

The Sky-Reaching Giant Sword stopped. A flash of green light revealed Wang Qingshan's figure. He put away his nine green flying swords, quickly took two drops of Millennium Spirit Milk, and his pale complexion rapidly returned to a healthy flush.

"Are you a spy for the Taiyi Immortal Sect? Or the Cold Flame Sect?"

Huang Yuxu's gaze was cold as he looked at Ye Lang, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Over two hundred years ago, Huanglong Island coveted our Ye family's unique spiritual art, the Blood-Burning Blade. They instigated a beast tide that wiped out our Ye family. All four hundred and thirty-five cultivators of the Ye family were slaughtered. I was out traveling and fortunately escaped. For all these years, I've endured humiliation, painstakingly plotting to approach Huanglong Island cultivators. After joining Huanglong Island, I did many things against my conscience, all for this day. I can't kill True Monarch Huanglong, but I can kill you. If you die, True Monarch Huanglong's expression will surely be wonderful, haha!"

Ye Lang's face contorted into a hideous grin as he cackled maniacally.

To avenge the annihilation of his clan, he had acknowledged his enemy as a benefactor and done many things against his will, all so that one day he could seek revenge.

There had always been Core Formation stage guards by Huang Yuxu's side, and Ye Lang's cultivation was too low to succeed in a single strike. This was the best opportunity.

"Kill me? With just a black-gold spiritual snake and some poisoned flying needles? You truly underestimate me, Young Master."

Huang Yuxu sneered, grabbing the small snake with his right claw and squeezing it hard. The snake's head immediately burst open, and two black flying needles flew out from his back.

"Ordinary poison, of course, can't harm you. But what about the Bewildering Immortal Powder, one of the Ten Absolute Poisons! It won't be long before you lose all your magical power, becoming no different from a mortal!"

Ye Lang laughed wildly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Wang Qingshan frowned slightly, observing coldly. He wasn't sure if Huang Yuxu and Ye Lang were acting.

Hearing the words "Ten Absolute Poisons," Huang Yuxu's face changed. Not to mention Core Formation cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators would be in trouble if they were poisoned by the Ten Absolute Poisons. If they were unlucky, death was a real possibility.

The yellow flying boat beneath Huang Yuxu's feet shot through the air at an incredibly fast speed.

Ye Lang naturally wouldn't let him have his way and quickly said to Wang Qingshan, "Fellow Daoist Wang, don't let him escape! He's中了ten absolute poisons and won't get far."

He slashed his yellow short blade at the void, and a large swath of yellow blade shadows flew out, showering down upon Huang Yuxu.

He opened his mouth and spat out a yellow light, which transformed into a yellow flying knife about three feet long. He then merged his entire being into the yellow flying knife. The yellow flying knife shone brightly, transforming into a long yellow rainbow, heading directly towards Huang Yuxu at an incredibly fast speed.

Upon seeing this, Wang Qingshan slashed his right hand at the void, and a red light shot out. It was a flying sword enveloped in scarlet flames, precisely the spiritual art, Scarlet Flame Sword.

Until he understood the truth of the matter, he wouldn't easily take risks. People's hearts are unpredictable; who knew if Ye Lang was acting? After all, the Ten Absolute Poisons were not common goods, and they weren't so easy to acquire.

A sharp gleam flashed in Huang Yuxu's eyes. He put away the yellow flying boat, and countless yellow spiritual patterns lit up on his body, transforming him into a massive yellow flood dragon. He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of yellow light, striking towards the long yellow rainbow.

Rumble!

The long yellow rainbow shattered the yellow light and instantly appeared before the yellow flood dragon. The yellow flood dragon fiercely slapped at the long yellow rainbow with its right claw.

With a muffled clang of metal on metal, the long yellow rainbow immediately flew backward. Before it could stop, a black shadow shot out and sent the long yellow rainbow flying again.

A flash of yellow light revealed Ye Lang's figure. He coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, he isn't poisoned by the Bewildering Immortal Powder of the Ten Absolute Poisons, but by the Blood Pigeon Poison. This poison isn't incurable. The more magical power the poisoned person uses, the deeper the poisoning becomes, and the harder it is to resolve. To avenge the destruction of my clan, I've endured for over two hundred years. I can't endure anymore. Today, either he dies, or I die. You decide what you want to do; I won't force you."

Ye Lang said in a deep voice. A large area of blood-colored spiritual patterns appeared on his body, and a layer of blood-colored flames enveloped him. His aura rapidly withered as he transformed into a blood-colored rainbow several feet long, heading straight for Huang Yuxu.

"Blood-Burning Blade! You truly are a remnant of the Ye family!"

The yellow flood dragon's eyes became solemn, and its tone was somewhat panicked.

The spiritual art, Blood-Burning Blade, used the caster's own essence blood as a guide. This was a suicidal attack and a legacy spiritual art of the Ye family. Back then, Huanglong Island had instigated the beast tide to annihilate the Ye family and obtain this spiritual art.

This spiritual art was an offensive technique, but it was a suicidal attack, rarely used by cultivators.

The yellow flood dragon's tail heavily slapped the sea, splashing up waves over a dozen feet high, forming a barrier in front of it.

The yellow flood dragon circled once, intending to flee, but a scarlet flying sword shot out and struck its body.

With a muffled thud, a large area of scarlet flames rapidly spread, engulfing almost half of the yellow flood dragon's body.

A flash of blood-red light, and a blood-colored rainbow appeared before the yellow flood dragon.
