Chapter 1560: Strange Poison
nly Corpse Talisman, he was no longer afraid of living corpses. There were a few bends on the road, and Qin Sang only found one empty stone room.>After traveling for a while, Qin Sang suddenly stopped...When in danger, the stone toad instinctively uses a life-saving illusion, scattering illusory seeds of the golden cicada shedding its shell.
People with strange faces do not understand the nature of Stone Toad and accidentally blunder.
Seeing the stone toad fall into his master's hands, it instantly transformed into a flower seed. Overjoyed yet heartbroken, the grey-robed man's smile froze on his face.
At that moment, the Bao Se Bell shone again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang merely made the treasure bell flicker, temporarily resolving the crisis.
The uncanny man's expression didn't change, only his eyes darted around before fixating on Qin Sang with a suddenness. His eyeballs were as crimson and bloodshot as the centipede red mark on his face.
Upon seeing the monstrous visage of the man, Qin Sang felt a wave of unease wash over him. It was hard to fathom what a powerful cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage could have done to reduce himself to such a sorry state.
A beam of light shone down, illuminating the figure of Shi Ma once more. He was flanked by a wolf in front and a tiger behind, caught between Yuan Ying’s presence. Feeling helpless and vulnerable, he could only flee in another direction.
Lu Zhang was first startled and then delighted, exclaiming with praise.
>
He had been warned by Qin Sang beforehand and, upon realizing something was amiss with the grotesque man, he immediately twisted his body and swiftly approached Shi Ma.
The grotesque man's gaze swept over Qin Sang, a strange glint in his eyes. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a blood sword, which instantly transformed into a streak of crimson light.
"Whoosh!"
The thick stench of blood permeates the air.
The Blood Sword flashed, appearing behind the Stone Toad. The sword tip pointed directly at it, and its speed showed no sign of slowing down. From the monster face man's stance, he was about to destroy the Stone Toad completely!
It's a purely self-serving act that harms others.
Not only was Lü Chang filled with rage, but the grey-robed man was also greatly astonished. Just now, they had simply lost an opportunity. The treasure's ultimate destination was still unknown. Master destroyed Shi Ma without hesitation and even spared no effort in expending his blood essence.
>
The command that came from beside him left him no time to think.
The gray-robed man hurriedly took out a five-colored whip.
This is a short whip, brightly colored, similar to his five-colored poisonous spider. It is made entirely of bone segments connected together.
'Splat!'
The man in gray robes whipped his five-colored whip, a shadow of the whip flashing like lightning towards Lu Zhang.
Wherever the whip shadow passed, the miasma was like it encountered a funnel in the void, being frantically absorbed, almost sucking out all the miasma from the space. Only then did the miasma from outside rush in.
The body of the whip shadow became increasingly solid.
If he were chosen, Lu Zhang would definitely not be able to handle it.
Thankfully, Qin Sang was finally free to act.
A fierce blade slashed towards the whip shadow.
The gray-robed man's cultivation was only a step away from the middle stage, a level lower than Qin Sang's avatar. Even with the help of his advantageous environment, he could at most only bridge that gap.
The temperature dropped sharply.
Snowflakes are dancing.
Only the sound of crackling and booming echoed from the ground.
The Snow-Treading Divine Sword's might surged forth, its blade slashing through the air with incredible speed. Its whip shadow writhed like a serpent, but with each twist, a blade of light materialized to block any attacks from Lu Zhang's whip, keeping him at bay.
Lu Zhang remained steadfast in his gaze.
Shi Ma Guan was crucial to Lu Zhang's cultivation, hard-earned and not something he could stand by and watch be destroyed here.
Lu Zhang's arm twitched, the jade bracelet on his wrist flew out, spinning at high speed, transforming into a circle of white light in mid-air, accurately encircling the blood sword.
Circles of illusory bracelets rapidly contracted inward, each circle imbued with the power to bind and suppress, squeezing towards the blood sword in the center.
The blood glow on the surface of the Blood Sword showed signs of dissipation, but its core remained unmoved.
'Bang bang bang', the sound echoed continuously.

Though the grotesque man acted hastily, his blood sword's power was still astonishing. It even weakened only after obliterating several dozen bracelet shadows and piercing halfway through the jade bangle's center.
Seize this fleeting moment.
Lu Zhang seized the opportunity to approach Shi Ma, flicking his robe sleeve and throwing out a silvery fine net that covered him in mid-air.
The stone toad was still desperately fleeing, its body transforming into various shapes. Unfortunately, under the brilliance of the Bao Se Ling, it had nowhere to hide and was about to be caught.
Qin Sang felt something was amiss.
Especially the strange-looking man's eyes, like a venomous snake, seemed to be constantly staring at him, giving him a feeling of being watched.
At this moment, the blood sword failed to break through the jade bangle's seal in time. A white beam suddenly appeared in its center, vaguely revealing the shadow of a jade beetle inside.
Qin Sang looked sideways, her expression slightly stunned.
This was a kind of spirit worm he had never seen before.
In all the ancient texts I have ever seen, there is no record of such a spirit insect.
However, seeing the jade beetle and corpse moth wings identical, thinking of the group of corpse moths that had just been slaughtered by them, there must be a connection between the two.
“Be careful!” Qin Sang shouted.
At this time.
>
The jade beetle spread its wings and hovered in mid-air. Its pair of small eyes, like those of a grotesque man, were blood red and eerie. It devoured the grotesque man's essence clean, then spat out a milky white beam of light.
The target of the white light is not only Shi Ma but also Lu Zhang himself!
This light did not have a breathtaking aura.
The appearance of the jade beetle is also beautiful and lovely.
This combination, however, hides a terrifying danger.
Lü Zhang clasped his hands together, a silver net rolled inwards, finally capturing the Stone Toad. Then he quickly retracted the net and retreated hastily, but was still touched by the edge of the white light.
'Whoosh!'
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The white light arrived in an instant.
'Bang!'
Lu Zhang's monastic robes billowed, forming a protective layer of true energy, but it couldn't stop the white light from penetrating.
>
Lu Zhang's nose twitched, and his face suddenly changed.
Immediately after, a grayish-white aura quickly covered his face, draining of color and appearing distinctly abnormal. Even his protective divine energy trembled violently, showing signs of dissipation.
Lu Zhang’s index fingers danced across his chest, pressing down on the gray-white qi several times. In an instant, he turned it upwards, and the attack became even fiercer.
What shocked Lü Zhang even more was that all the qi and blood in his body seemed to be stagnating.
"Haha!"
The grotesque man laughed maniacally, "Good! Good! Even better than I expected! It's a pity that my King of Gu worms hasn't fully matured yet, otherwise with just this one strike, I could send your soul to the underworld!"

Amidst the maniacal laughter, the grotesque man's fingers transformed into claws, his skin turning rough like bark. His arms also contorted into a long, winding vine, and he lunged at Lu Zhang's forehead with the ferocity of a hawk pouncing on a rabbit.
If Lu Zhang were caught, there would definitely be five holes in his head.
At that time, whether the nascent soul could escape was uncertain.

In a moment of crisis, Lü Chang took out a bottle of some unknown elixir and downed it in one gulp, letting out a distorted, strangled cry from his throat.
Here is the English translation:

'Buzz buzz...'
Qing Zhong, who was entangled with Mu Zhu, suddenly vibrated wildly and then vanished into thin air. It broke free from Mu Zhu's grasp and appeared on Lu Zhang's head.
>
As the bell struck, it landed squarely on Lü Zhang.
'Bang!'
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
The wooden claw struck the blue bell squarely.
With a resounding ‘dong’, ripples spread across the surface of the qin bell, yet it remained incredibly solid, unharmed. It was simply knocked away, crashing against the stone wall on the side.
Lu Zhang's life and death are unknown.
The grotesque man narrowed his eyes, choosing not to pursue Qing Zhong any further. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Qin Sang, his eyes gleaming with greed as he hissed with a strange laugh, "Such pure wood essence!"
Let's start with two thousand first —ntly, as soon as Qin Sang entered the mist, he saw a red cloud composed of fire spirits flying past him. He stopped and took a closer look. These fire spirits looked very strange, like monkeys with wi...
