Seeing these two trying to run, Du Canglang rely snorted coldly, casually grabbed two small stones from the wall, and fiercely hurled them out. These two stones flew like bullets, whistling as they caught up with the pair and struck their heads, causing them to fall dead. In front of Du Canglang, they had no chance to resist.
After killing these two, Du Canglang then turned to look at the remaining seventeen people, his expression still cold as ice. His gaze swept over these seventeen individuals and suddenly fixed on the face of one of them.
This person, under Du Canglang's stare, couldn't help but feel uneasy, instinctively wanting to step back. However, before he could take a step, Du Canglang had already rushed in front of him, grabbed his neck, and lifted him. At the sa ti, he pinched the man's cheeks forcefully, causing him to involuntarily open his mouth and drop a pill from his mouth.
"Take the pill to live. Since you don't wish to take the pill, you needn't live!" Du Canglang shouted coldly, ignoring the man's pleas for rcy, as he casually slapped him. The man imdiately fell to the ground, killed by Du Canglang's single palm strike.
Seeing this, the others were trembling with fear. Originally, a few had tried to be clever by keeping the pill in their mouths without swallowing it, but seeing this situation, none dared to be clever anymore and quickly swallowed the pill, not daring to play tricks with Du Canglang.
Du Canglang's gaze swept over the remaining sixteen people, confirming they all swallowed the pill, then said in a cold voice, "What you just ate is my exclusive secret ridian Intestine-Breaking Pill. This poison, when it acts, feels like your internal organs are being cut by knives, making it unbearable. It acts twice daily: once at midnight and once at noon. If you take the antidote in advance, the poison won't act. However, if you don't take the antidote and it acts twice in one day, you will die with your intestines and stomach ruptured, and even the antidote won't save you!"
The crowd had long expected the pill to be harmful, but hearing about the ridian Intestine-Breaking Pill now, they all turned pale. Such unique poison can only be neutralized by its specific antidote. If Du Canglang doesn't give them the antidote, they are dood. Thus, they are completely under Du Canglang's control, not daring to escape from him at all.
"I won't say anything unnecessary. As long as you work well for , you won't lack the antidote. But if anyone tries to be sly behind my back, hmm..." Du Canglang snorted twice, though he said nothing more, leaving everyone trembling inwardly.
Seeing the expressions of the people, Du Canglang was very satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "Now, follow out to help find the Doomsday Sect. The first to find the Doomsday Sect, I will not only completely neutralize the ridian Intestine-Breaking Pill but also teach them a martial art!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd beca noticeably agitated. The martial art Du Canglang offered mattered less to them, the key point being the resolution of the ridian Intestine-Breaking Pill. Only by resolving this pill could they possibly regain their freedom.
After tidying everything in the cave, the group followed the stone corridor out towards the cave exit.
Walking into the Stone Chamber where the Long-haired Monsters gathered, the group saw more than twenty Long-haired Monsters. Upon seeing them, everyone was startled since they had seen these monsters before and knew their combat prowess. Encountering this many at once naturally shocked them.
Du Canglang remained calm, coldly sweeping his gaze over these Long-haired Monsters, his eyes bright and focused on them.
These Long-haired Monsters also noticed Du Canglang, clearly apprehensive of him. After a brief stare-off with Du Canglang, one of the monsters suddenly howled in distress, prompting the others to follow suit and then turn to flee, not daring to linger in the Stone Chamber, effectively scared away by Du Canglang.
Witnessing this, everyone was deeply astonished, including Ye Qing who was inwardly surprised. These Long-haired Monsters, though intelligent, were still uncivilized wild n. Do they really understand fear?
Ye Qing actually underestimated the intelligence of these Long-haired Monsters. Since entering the cave, Du Canglang had killed dozens of these creatures. Even if they lacked intelligence, fear was inevitable. Therefore, upon seeing Du Canglang, these monsters were terrified and dared not confront him.
Du Canglang didn't pay any attention to these Long-haired Monsters and led the group straight out. As they passed the cave, Ye Qing clearly noticed several corpses on the cave floor, the very people that the Red-robed Archbishop had brought earlier, including Zhou Changjin. These people were all killed by Du Canglang. The Red-robed Archbishop and the Lord also died at the crossroads. These foreigners suffered significant losses this ti. Facing a master like Du Canglang, they didn't even have a chance to resist.
Seeing their companions who ca with them lying dead here, the foreigners were all deeply saddened. Staring at Du Canglang, their eyes showed fear mixed with hatred, but they dared not do anything, and could only obediently follow Du Canglang out.
Along the way, there were no traps or Long-haired Monsters to stop them, as everything had been cleared away by Du Canglang when he initially ca in. The group left the cave from the place where the Long-haired Monsters disposed of the bones and arrived in the valley.
By the ti they entered the valley, it was already dark. Originally, Ye Qing had slid down from the mountain, pretending to have an accident, intending to escape from Du Canglang. Unexpectedly, so many things happened in this valley. Most importantly, he saved Wen'er, which was quite a fortunate coincidence. If Ye Qing hadn't co down to this valley, Wen'er would have been in grave danger this ti.
"Old Monster Du, it's so late already, do we still have to travel?" Once they exited the cave, Ye Qing imdiately shouted, "I've been toiling in the cave all day, I'm exhausted to death. I can't run anymore, you go ahead if you want to!"
Indeed, when Ye Qing ca down from the mountain, it was still early. After entering the cave, he had been busy until now, and it was already late at night. This trip had really worn Ye Qing out. The others were in a similar state as Ye Qing. Inside the dark cave, they couldn't feel the passage of ti, but they had indeed been busy for quite a long ti.
Du Canglang looked around and after a brief silence, said, "We can't rest in this valley!"
"Why not?" Ye Qing glanced around, "It's pretty good here, the ground is flat, there are plants for cover, we can make a fire to keep warm, and there's no wind—why can't we rest?"
"Precisely because this valley has no wind!" Du Canglang said gravely, "Look around the valley, it's surrounded by high mountains, preventing ventilation. Inside the valley, all the plants and corpses were rotting, producing toxic gases, which can't dissipate due to the lack of wind. This forms a miasma. During the day, it's not noticeable, but at night, especially in the latter part of the night and early morning, this miasma spreads and envelops the valley. Inhaling this miasma is poisonous, and prolonged exposure can be fatal. If we stay here to rest, by tomorrow morning, how many of you will still be able to stand up alive?"
Upon hearing this, the group, who had been groggy with exhaustion and wanted to rest, imdiately perked up. The matter of life and death certainly took precedence over being tired. Therefore, the group did not hesitate at all and unanimously agreed to follow Du Canglang up the mountain.
Ye Qing didn't understand much about miasmas and such, but seeing how seriously Du Canglang spoke, he dared not take it lightly. He himself wasn't afraid of poison, but it was a different case for Wen'er. If Wen'er were poisoned here, it would be a big problem. So in the end, Ye Qing also followed Du Canglang and the others up the mountain. After more than an hour of toil, they finally found a spot to rest halfway up the mountain.
After a tiring day, Ye Qing's body was almost falling apart. As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep. The others were in a similar state, except for Du Canglang, who didn't sleep. He took out the Tianzhu Sword Technique, stood by the fire, and carefully studied its content. Although the Tianzhu Sword Technique wasn't long, it was extrely exquisite. Just by reading it, Du Canglang made significant gains, not to ntion acquiring the Tianzhu Sword. Hence, the more he read the Tianzhu Sword Technique, the happier and more confident he beca. He had enough confidence to challenge all heroes under heaven if he obtained the Tianzhu Sword!
"Tianzhu Sword! Tianzhu Sword!" Du Canglang muttered to himself, an indescribable excitent and thrill in his words. This legendary treasure, chanted by the world to this day, was about to be obtained by him, and his excitent was conceivable. If he obtained the Tianzhu Sword, he would have the opportunity to shatter Ye Qing's Vajra Indestructible Body and take the Buddha's Relic from Ye Qing. With the Tianzhu Sword and the Buddha's Relic, he would be the absolute strongest under heaven!
The night passed uneventfully, and early the next morning, Du Canglang woke everyone up. With the break of dawn, the group split into two: one half packing things up, while the other half went to hunt so ga to cook and eat for breakfast.
Ye Qing stood by the mountain edge, ate so food, and took a glance at the valley below. At this mont, the valley was shrouded in a white mist, completely obscured, and Ye Qing couldn't see what was happening inside. Apparently, this mist was the miasma Du Canglang had talked about, enveloping the entire valley. Fortunately, the group didn't rest in the valley last night, otherwise, once the miasma erged, how many would have managed to make it out alive?
