Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1513: Chapter 1513: Backlash

Yun Man and Wu Kun, though both are early-stage Golden Core masters with similar cultivation levels, Wu Kun’s released Black-Bellied Snake is renowned for its agility, moving like lightning, making its whereabouts difficult to trace. Its venom can corrode steel and bone, which makes Yun Man particularly wary.

"Chirp!"

A soft sound, the Black-Bellied Snake altered its direction in mid-air, and Yun Man’s cross-shaped blade light fell on empty ground.

"He Ping, dodge quickly!"

Yun Man shouted urgently once more, simultaneously sweeping her figure sideways towards the stunned He Ping.

After her sword missed, she realized that the true target of the Black-Bellied Snake wasn’t herself, but He Ping.

He Ping’s cultivation level is only at the realm of Foundation Establishment perfection, while the attack strength of the Black-Bellied Snake is so strong that even Yun Man is wary of it, let alone He Ping’s ability to handle it.

Even though Yun Man did her utmost, she still fell one step behind the Black-Bellied Snake, watching as the snake turned into a black lightning bolt about to collide with He Ping.

Yun Man sighed sorrowfully in her heart, closed her eyes, unable to bear watching.

She knew how formidable the Black-Bellied Snake was; once it touched He Ping’s body, it would be like a sharp arrow piercing into He Ping’s heart, leaving behind its venom, and even the Great Luo Immortal would find it hard to save He Ping’s life.

Although He Ping had already formed a Defense Qi Shield around her body in advance, before the impact of the Black-Bellied Snake, that layer of Defense Qi Shield was as thin as paper and could not provide any protection.

He Ping seemed to sense the intense threat, and realizing she couldn’t avoid it, her complexion instantly turned bloodless, eyes showing despair.

Standing beside He Ping were two fellow early-stage Golden Core masters from the same team, originally able to lend a hand, but fearing the Five Poisons Sect’s retaliation, hesitated slightly, and by the time they wanted to act, they had already lost the chance.

Wu Kun wore a smug smile; he hadn’t planned to take He Ping’s life, only to have the Black-Bellied Snake bite her once, making her carry the strange poison. By then, to survive, she’d have no choice but to obediently follow his orders and go along with him.

Watching He Ping’s terrified expression filled with dread, Wu Kun felt inexplicably satisfied, couldn’t help but grin.

However, the next moment, his smile froze there.

The Black-Bellied Snake he had tamed for years suddenly reversed course within three feet of He Ping’s chest, charging towards him even faster.

"This... this..."

Now it was Wu Kun’s turn to be terrified.

He realized that the Black-Bellied Snake had completely escaped his control, its body releasing the unique frantic and brutal aura of a Spirit Beast, sending shivers down his spine.

"Junior Brother Wu, why did you pull back, feeling reluctant? Haha..."

A fellow disciple behind Wu Kun from the Five Poisons Sect thought he had suddenly softened, unwilling to harm He Ping, and teased with a laugh.

However, as soon as he laughed, his mouth seemed stuffed with a large egg, abruptly stopping. noveldrama

Several other disciples from the Five Poisons Sect also let out cries of disbelief.

Opposite, Yun Man and the others, were dumbfounded, displaying expressions of incredulity on their faces.

Everyone’s gaze at that moment focused on Wu Kun.

Wu Kun’s body still stood but was slightly swaying; right at his chest, a bowl-sized bloody hole had pierced through.

Only two people on site saw what had happened: the high-speed Black-Bellied Snake directly pierced through Wu Kun’s heart, leaving this terrifyingly horrifying fatal wound.

The two who saw the process were someone called Wu Heng, the most powerful disciple among the Five Poisons Sect, and Fang Bai.

The strongest disciple of the Five Poisons Sect named Wu Heng was Wu Kun’s older brother, also one of the Stewards of the Five Poisons Sect, possessing mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.

Wu Heng led four junior disciples from the sect into the Nether Corpse Land for training. Though they hadn’t encountered any fortune, through their considerable strength, they managed to reap quite a few benefits from other Martial Artist teams they met.

Upon spotting Yun Man’s team, Wu Heng and the Five Poisons Sect disciples harbored the same thought, wanting to seize the cultivation resources on the ten people for themselves.

Wu Heng believed that with absolute advantage on their side, the others would surely surrender their cultivation resources obediently, or else they’d face the ruthless punishment from the five.

Yet what Wu Heng and the other disciples couldn’t understand was why Wu Kun, when dealing with the petite and clever Female Martial Artist, clearly had the victory in hand, would suddenly fall victim to a counterattack.

It must be known, the Black-Bellied Snake that killed Wu Kun was a small Spirit Beast he had painstakingly tamed for over ten years, and its sudden backlash was beyond reason, difficult for Wu Heng and the other disciples to accept.

"Boom!"

After Wu Kun’s body swayed a few more times, he finally fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The Black-Bellied Snake that pierced Wu Kun’s body still wanted to attack other disciples of the Five Poisons Sect but was already at its limit, posed no more threat, and was cut into two by Wu Heng’s palm used as a blade, fell to the ground, and after twitching a few times, became motionless.

Wu Heng’s complexion was as dark as water; he stepped slowly before the fallen Wu Kun and squatted to inspect.

Yun Man and the others were eager to escape, but none dared to move.

Though Wu Heng wasn’t looking at them, the intense Killing Qi emanating from him locked them firmly; whoever moved first would become Wu Heng’s first target.

"There are four left on the opposite side. With our ten united as one, we have hope to resist them! Otherwise, we’ll all die!"

Yun Man’s expression was grave, her demeanor was stern, using Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, she addressed He Ping and the others.

Though unclear on the cause of Wu Kun’s muddled death, she knew the Five Poisons Sect would certainly hold this team of Martial Artists accountable.

Both sides had forged a mortal feud, relentless until death.

Yun Man understood this principle, and He Ping knew it as well.

Though they cried injustice in their hearts, wanting to convey to the Five Poisons Sect disciples that Wu Kun’s death had nothing to do with them, they knew any explanation was futile.

He Ping and the others swiftly gathered around Yun Man, holding their Spiritual Artifacts before them, Spiritual Energy enveloping them, bracing for a fierce battle.

Standing among the ten was Fang Bai, who glanced at Wu Kun’s corpse ahead, sketched a mocking smile.

As an expert of the Beast Taming Scripture, capable of taming all beasts, it was incredibly easy for Fang Bai to make the Black-Bellied Snake "turn coat" and attack its owner at the crucial moment.

The Five Poisons Sect, famed for controlling poisons, might be fearsome to other Martial Artists, but to Fang Bai, it was not worth a sneer.

"Who was it?"

Wu Heng examined his brother’s wounds closely, then rose, eyes red with rage as he advanced towards Yun Man and the others, speaking coldly: "Who controlled that Black-Bellied Snake and killed my brother? Whoever dares, step forward!"

As he spoke, his gaze first swept over Yun Man and the others, then turned towards the haze behind them.

In Wu Heng’s view, Yun Man and the others lacked the capability to control the Black-Bellied Snake, surely the attack came from another person hidden within the fog behind these Martial Artists.
