Chapter 1087 - 292: Golden Needles Unleash Storms, Jade Blades Dance With Righteousness

Shi Feiyang wielded the saber across his chest, his ice-blue True Qi surged three zhang high, and roared: "Our Huaxia mountains and rivers cannot tolerate evil running rampant! Today, we shall vanquish this toxic mist and restore a clear and bright world!"

After shouting, he lifted his saber, astonishingly freezing all the poison golden needles into ice pillars in mid-air, which then fell obliquely into the Chishui River, causing a massive wave.

The Poison Guanyin was shocked inside, but since the battle had begun, there was no turning back. She continuously unleashed countless poison golden needles upon the disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association amidst the swirling toxic mists. As the poison mist surged, the Heaven and Earth Saber Lie Quan’s sheath struck heavily on the stone platform, shaking off fine poison frost, then he turned to Wu Zhong and said: "These ten thousand poison golden needles are specifically designed to break Protective True Qi; merely catching them is likely to lose most brothers!" He stroked the Eight Trigrams pattern on the blade, his eyes blazing, and said: "Someone must use a clever move to disrupt the formation’s footing and locate the crucial point from which the golden needles are fired."

"Iron Palm" Wu Zhong crushed those poison golden needles, then clapped his palms together, emitting white mist from his palms, and said: "Old Wu here has a clumsy method!" His tiger eyes widened, followed by: "When the golden needles get close, I’ll use the Demon Subduing Divine Palm to withstand them head-on, and everyone can take the opportunity to advance, surely tearing open a breach!"

Before he finished speaking, "Mandarin Duck Saber" Xiao Lingling had already moved lightly, her dual blades carving out silver rainbow arcs, and said: "My husband’s fierce method is good, but we cannot do without someone supporting from the side. Xiangyu and I will cooperate, using the Mandarin Duck saber technique to entangle the Poison Guanyin, making her unable to control the golden needles!"

"Divine Archer" Miao Menlong set the arrow on the string, pulling the bow into a full moon, and said: "Miaojiang Gu techniques always respond to celestial phenomena," he looked at the surging dark clouds above, "The Lady of the General Headquarters Bai Zhi has already taught me Miaojiang strange skills, when the thunderstorm comes, I’ll use the Star-Chasing Moon-Running Arrow to draw heavenly thunder into the formation and burn them clean!"

"Plum Blossom Darts" Shan Zhi shook his head and coldly chuckled, and with a glint from his dart pouch, said: "Before the thunderstorm arrives, would the enemy wait idly? How about I lead ten brothers from behind to specifically target the Poison Guanyin’s poison-spreading minions, cutting off the golden needle supply!"

Hearing everyone’s debate, Shi Feiyang gently rotated the Celestial Frost Blade in his palm, the ice-blue True Qi flowed along the blade, and he said: "Everyone’s words are true." His gaze swept across the people, and he added: "The Five Elements Array needs to change again, the metal-type disciples forming the ’Eight Trigrams Shield’ to repel enemies, wood-type disciples using ’Revive Withered Tree’ to neutralize poison, water-type..."

Before he finished speaking, the shoulder of the Flying Eagle Detective Xie Wen’s eagle suddenly let out a sharp cry. Xie Wen’s face changed and said: "Not good! The Poison Guanyin has set up the ’Hundred Gu Soul-devouring Array’, and the bugs inside the golden needles are about to awaken!"

Little Scholar Shi Xiong gripped the White Rainbow Treasure Sword tightly, although his voice trembled, it was filled with determination as he said to Shi Feiyang: "Young Master! Let me divert those bugs! I can run fast!"

Guo Xiangyu held the bamboo saber sideways, the blade reflecting her resolute face, and said: "Feiyang, I will follow you directly to the Poison Guanyin. If she injures you a bit, I will make her pay ten zhang of blood debt!"

Shi Feiyang laughed aloud upon hearing, his laughter shook the toxic mist, and he roared: "Good! Today, let these demonic sects know, the Heroic Sakura Association is united as one, even if the poison miasma fills the sky or golden needles rain down, there will still be a bright path!"

He raised the Celestial Frost Blade high and roared again: "Anyone who offends our Central Plains, no matter how far, must be executed! Those who protect my brothers will not hesitate a thousand deaths!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices dispersing the poison mist, startling the toxic array on the opposite bank.

As dusk fell like dense ink pouring down, the steaming poison miasma of the Chishui River wailed like a thousand ghosts, dyeing the world an eerie purple-black.

The Poison Guanyin, draped in a moon-white gauze sheathed, stood atop the "Human Gate" platform of the Three Talents Poison Array, a snake-shaped jade ornament between her brows emitting a faint glow, her ten poisoned nails gleamed with cold metallic luster.

A sinister smile crept up her lips, and with a flick of her fingers, the myriad golden needles shot out, weaving into the "Hundred Gu Soul-devouring Array", the bugs hidden within each golden needle were about to awaken, emitting a piercing buzzing sound as they passed, and the bluestone ground was instantly corroded into dense honeycombed holes, like the earth being gnawed by countless sharp teeth, painfully decomposing.

The metal-type disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association clashed blades to weave a silver light net that collided with the golden needles, instantly producing a sharp screech like nails scratching iron.

The forged iron blades shattered inch by inch, sparks flying, the disciples’ tiger mouths cracked, blood dripping to the ground, instantly corroded by the poison mist, leaving no trace.

"Long Arm Fist" Liao Pei let out a violent shout, his arm muscles knotting like old tree roots, and his iron staff swept out, stirring the poisonous mist into surges: "Turtle’s evil techniques! Do you really think there’s no one in our Central Plains Martial Arts? Today we will show you that we righteous warriors will break but not bend!"

However, before the words were out, dozens of golden needles had already pierced the air waves, brushing past his ear, burning a bowl-sized black hole in the ancient tree behind him, the bark peeled off revealing a trunk like white bones, sending a chill down one’s spine.

The Heaven and Earth Saber Lie Quan Saber moved along the Eight Trigrams, the Yin Yang Fish pattern on the blade glowed faintly. He let out a deep shout, using a move "Qian Trigram·Sweeping Thousand Armies!" A half-moon blade Qi cut forth, yet upon colliding with the golden needle array was immediately ground into powder.

The counter-shock force traveled along the blade, making his tiger mouth bleed, coloring the ancient saber handle red. Lie Quan was secretly amazed: This poison array can actually transform Qi, grinding the blade formed Qi into pieces! It seems I must find another way to break the formation, cannot continue with brute force.

At this moment, the toxic mist surged like ink, Shi Feiyang’s entire body was enveloped in an ice-blue True Qi forming a three zhang vortex, encountering the realm of the Bright Jade Technique "Supreme Forgetting Emotions Ice Soul Cold Prison". As the Celestial Frost Blade swung out, a half-moon silver moon shredded the poison miasma, where the blade Qi reached, a myriad of golden needles "crackled" frozen into ice crystals, shattered into powder upon hitting the ground.
