<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5291</h2>


    From time to time , giant pythons covered in malignant tumors would poke their heads out of the swamp, only to be frightened by David’s radiant malevolent aura and cower in the mud and water, trembling.


    As dusk fell, a dense purple bamboo forest appeared ahead. A


    pale purple mist drifted through the bamboo forest, even rippling David’s malevolent aura barrier.


    “This is the outer defense line of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley.”


    “The bamboo forest holds their poison ves, cultivators controlled by poison,”


    Mo Chen said.


    As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures burst out of the bamboo forest.


    Their bodies were gaunt, their skin a strange bluish-purple color, their eyes bloodshot, and they clutched bone spears coated in venom.


    “Kill!”


    the poison ves roared and lunged forward, their movements stiff but fearless.


    Hu Mazi cast three zing talismans, and golden mes surged like a tide, burning the front row of poison ves to charcoal.


    “Watch out for their blood!” Mo Chen warned.


    David shed, unsheathing his Dragon ying Sword.


    A swirling gleam of golden light intertwined with ck energy swept out, severing the poison ves before they could even get close. Purple blood gushed from their broken bodies, dripping onto the ground and corroding the solid rock with a dense pattern of holes.


    “These poison ves were all Earth Immortal cultivators in their lifetime,” Mo Chen swung his sword, decapitating a stinging poison needle. “They’ve been controlled by the Ten Thousand Poison Valley using the ‘Heart-Eroding Gu,’ turning them into mindless puppets.”


    David frowned as he looked at the poison ves, their eyes etched with pain. “Is there any way to break their control?”


    “Difficult!”


    Hu Mazi threw an ice talisman, freezing a charging poison ve. “The Heart-Eroding Gu has prated the heart meridians. Unless the insect is killed instantly, the ve will explode and die.”


    David no longer hesitated, and the golden light from the Dragon ying Sword grew even more intense.


    He unleashed the new sword technique he’d learned at the Sword Tomb. The tip of his sword traced a mysterious trajectory, each strike piercing the poison ve’s heart with pinpoint uracy.


    ck murderous energy flowed in along the tip of the sword, instantly strangling the poisonous insect hidden within.


    “Bang! Bang! Bang!”


    The poisonous ve, whose poisonous insect had been killed, stiffened before turning to ash, without releasing a single drop of venom.


    Seeing this, Mo Chen and Hu Mazi also changed their tactics, focusing on attacking the poison ves’ heart meridians.


    Half an hourter, thest poison ve was reduced to ash.


    David sheathed his sword and stood, noticing that his evil spirit had intensified, evidently nourished by consuming these poisonous insects.


    “The gate to the Ten Thousand Poison Valley is just ahead,”


    Mo Chen pointed deep into the bamboo forest. “Through that ravine, we’ll find their core area.”


    The three of them passed through the purple bamboo forest and a narrow ravine appeared before them.


    The cliffs on either side of the ravine were dotted with honeb-like caves, within which could be vaguely seen wriggling dark figures.


    “That’s the Ten Thousand Poison Valley’s Centipede Cave.”


    “It’s filled with thousand-year-old poisonous centipedes. Disturbing them would be very troublesome,”


    Mo Chen warned.


    David noticed a t rock at the entrance to the ravine, engraved with strange runes.


    The runes glowed with a pale green light, echoing the surrounding miasma.


    “This is a warning formation,”


    David reached out and touched the runes. “Anyone entering the canyon will alert the poisonous creatures within.”


    He channeled his spiritual power, and a murderous aura flowed through his fingertips into the runes.


    The pale green light was quickly swallowed by the ck energy, and the runes on the rock gradually dimmed.


    “Done, let’s go,” David said, withdrawing his hand.


    As the three entered the canyon, a sudden rustling sound came from the cave on the cliff.


    Countless half-foot-long centipedes crawled out of the cave. They were pitch ck, their shells gleaming metallically, and the poisonous stingers on their tails glowed a faint blue.


    “Damn it, we’ve been discovered again! These are ‘ck Iron Centipedes,’ their shells harder than fine steel!” Mo Chen frowned.


    Hu Mazi hid behind David, holding several runes.


    David’s eyes sharpened, and he swung his Dragon ying Sword.
