Chapter 2375 - 2375: Evil Beast

Upon seeing this situation, Wu Zishi and the others at the foot of the mountain suddenly widened their eyes, stunned and speechless for a moment.

"They... they actually went in..." the senior brother asked in astonishment.

"What... what is going on here?"

"Wasn't Medicine King Mountain sealed off? Wasn't it impossible for anyone to enter?"

"But they truly went in, there's no doubt about it!"

"Could it be that the great formation of Medicine King Mountain has loosened?"

"Perhaps, look, the smoke on the mountain is gone!"

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean people can now easily enter Medicine King Mountain if they want to?"

"That would be wonderful. The herbs on Medicine King Mountain are considered extremely rare in the world. Selling these herbs would allow someone to spend several lifetimes without exhausting their wealth!"

"Seriously, several lifetimes? I'm telling you, selling all these herbs could ensure that everyone in the Five Poison Sect wouldn't run out in several lifetimes!"

"..."

Everyone was discussing fervently, shocked by the situation at Medicine King Mountain. After all, they had been here for quite some time and naturally knew that entering Medicine King Mountain was not something one could do casually. Now that their people had entered, how could they not be excited?

Most excited and shocked was Wu Zishi. He sent those few people in first to explore the path and check the situation at Medicine King Mountain. Now, it proved that entering Medicine King Mountain directly was possible, and Wu Zishi's excitement was imaginable. As the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect, he had long coveted the herbs of Medicine King Mountain but had been unable to enter. He wouldn't miss this opportunity now.

Furthermore, Ye Qing was also on Medicine King Mountain. This time entering Medicine King Mountain, he truly hoped for a complete victory!

Without any hesitation, Wu Zishi immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone, enter the mountain with me!"

Actually, even without Wu Zishi's command, everyone was eager to enter Medicine King Mountain immediately. Now with Wu Zishi's call, they hesitated no longer and quickly followed Wu Zishi into the mountain.

As before, they were confused for a while after entering. However, they soon found their way out and stepped onto the territory of Medicine King Mountain.

Looking around, everyone was filled with indescribable excitement and thrill. Being members of the Five Poison Sect, they had some knowledge of herbs. Seeing the herbs in the fields around, they were naturally deeply shocked and understood the value of these herbs!

The senior brother exclaimed excitedly, "Master, these herbs are the most rare ones. If we can take them back, we can start concocting all those secret formulas!"

Wu Zishi felt even more excited inside but managed to remain calm. Pointing at Ye Qing on the mountain, he said sternly, "Enough talk, capture Ye Qing first!"

No matter how valuable the herbs of Medicine King Mountain were, they weren't as critical as the opportunity to become a beyond peerless master. Wu Zishi knew how to prioritize.

Upon hearing Wu Zishi's command, the others didn't hesitate and rushed towards Ye Qing.

At this moment, Ye Qing also saw the people coming in from the foot of the mountain, and this situation surprised him greatly. His entry had already been shocking to him, but he hadn't expected these people to follow him, nor so many at once. What was going on? Could the great formation of Medicine King Mountain be failing?

Ye Qing could only think of that explanation as he watched those people running up the mountain. Feeling deeply worried, he dared not linger and quickly turned to leave. Just as he turned, a scraping sound came from below the cliff, as if something was emerging.

Ye Qing immediately turned to look and saw a massive serpent head slowly stretching out from the Cave below the cliff. Ye Qing recognized it clearly; this giant snake was the one that swallowed Lin Tianyou last time!

Faced with such a sight, Ye Qing's expression instantly froze. Last time, he risked his life jumping down to capture the giant snake for revenge for Lin Tianyou. However, he hadn't even managed to touch the giant snake then. This time, as the giant snake appeared again, it truly felt like encountering an enemy made his blood boil with rage.

"Beast!" Ye Qing shouted angrily, disregarding everything else, and leapt off the cliff, heading straight towards the giant snake.

The drop below wasn't very high, only about a dozen meters. There were vines all around, and after Ye Qing grabbed a few of them, the force of his fall was greatly reduced, so he didn't hurt at all.

As soon as Ye Qing got up from the ground, he immediately pulled out a dagger he carried from his waist and rushed straight at the giant snake, attacking directly at its head.

The giant snake had just stuck its head out from the cave, seemingly wanting to breathe some fresh air. But before it could, it saw Ye Qing coming at it with a dagger. The giant snake was startled and immediately retreated back into the cave, leaving Ye Qing's strike to hit nothing but air.

"You vile beast, where are you running!" Ye Qing rushed to the mouth of the cave, now fearless of the giant snake, stabbing and slashing wildly inside the cave with the dagger, wanting revenge for Lin Tianyou.

The giant snake was so frightened that it kept retreating, not daring to move a bit forward. Thus, Ye Qing was thrashing about here but hadn't touched anything and couldn't hurt the giant snake a bit, leaving him quite exhausted.

After thrashing a bit without hurting the giant snake at all, Ye Qing stepped back a little, fiercely staring at the cave entrance and angrily shouted, "Vile beast, come out, let's fight to the death!"

The giant snake looked at Ye Qing, not knowing if it understood Ye Qing's words, but it didn't come out, only skulked inside. Ye Qing became even more furious, repeatedly taunting outside, but the giant snake was completely indifferent, hiding inside without any intention of coming out.

Ye Qing was extremely annoyed, but since the giant snake was hiding in the cave, he was helpless and could only angrily wave the dagger and shout. After more than half an hour of this, the giant snake still hadn't come out, and in the meantime, people from the Five Poison Sect had caught up and were watching from the cliff.

"Alright, alright, we've caught him!" a man shouted loudly, "Ye Qing is here, Ye Qing is right here!"

"What are we waiting for, go down and catch him!"

"Damn it, how do I go down alone? I can't beat him!"

"What are you afraid of, he doesn't even have inner strength anymore, I could crush him with just one finger!"

"No inner strength left? Damn, they should've said so earlier, come on, let me kill him!"

With these words, four or five people climbed down the vines, seemingly eager to claim credit, all rushing towards Ye Qing, trying to catch him first.

Ye Qing still hadn't touched the giant snake at all, and now people were chasing him. In this situation, Ye Qing couldn't worry about the giant snake anymore, quickly jumped up, and watched the people charging at him intently.

The four or five people initially wanted to deal with Ye Qing directly, but being watched like this by Ye Qing, they were somewhat uncertain. Although Wu Zishi mentioned Ye Qing's situation, saying he no longer had inner strength, it was just Wu Zishi saying it. They hadn't seen Ye Qing's current state, so who knows if Ye Qing might still have inner strength? In these circumstances, nobody dared to go first; all wanted someone else to test Ye Qing's power first. But since nobody wanted to go first, who would be willing to take the lead?

So, for a moment, Ye Qing and these four or five people were in stalemate. Without inner strength, Ye Qing was just an empty shell; he could scare people, but in a real fight, he might be in trouble. One-on-one, he wasn't afraid, but with so many people rushing together, there was just no way to fight.

During this standoff, more people came down from above, and soon over twenty people were confronting Ye Qing.

With more people, they felt more confident. After a brief silence, someone shouted first, and the twenty-plus people simultaneously charged at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing frowned, facing such a situation, there was nowhere to run. This valley was small, with everything blocked on all sides, leaving no way to retreat, he could only fight.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qing gripped the dagger tightly, and as the twenty-plus people were about to reach him, Ye Qing suddenly charged forward. Using a move called Stick to the Mountain, he forcibly crashed into the person in front.

The person targeted by Ye Qing was also startled, trying to turn around but it was impossible now. With over twenty people charging, it wasn't as if he could retreat just because he wanted to. No doubt about it, Ye Qing hit him head-on.

The power of Stick to the Mountain needs no explanation; the man was dizzy from Ye Qing's hit. But the key issue was that Ye Qing didn't have inner strength in his body anymore, so this impact wouldn't have much power. Moreover, the man was surrounded by a dozen people. When Ye Qing crashed into him, the strength was shared among the group, leaving the man just swaying but not stepping back.

Under these circumstances, it was expected; after all, Ye Qing no longer had inner strength. With just his physical strength, dreaming of knocking away a dozen people was mere fantasy. Being able to make the man sway was already quite an achievement.

Seeing the situation, the twenty-plus people suddenly became rejuvenated. They saw through Ye Qing's actual power from the strength of the impact; he indeed had no inner strength. Immediately, they rushed to capture Ye Qing.

However, Ye Qing was prepared. At the moment of impact, he held the dagger in his hand and swiftly swung it. The few people reaching for him were almost simultaneously cut by Ye Qing's dagger. The better off ones had their arms slashed with wounds, while the less lucky ones had their entire arms chopped off by Ye Qing!
