That's all for Chapter 245.
The power of the "Yinmu Thorn" lies in the fact that no matter how many enemies there are, as long as they are within its coverage area, they will suffer its attack.
Moreover, once pierced by this strange 'Yin Wood Thorn', even the best antidote in the world is powerless to reverse the situation and cannot remove the poison it brings.
In the martial arts world, there are all sorts of sensational legends about this 'Yinmu Thorn', and some even call it voodoo.
People are saying that the poison of the 'Yinmu Thorn' is incurable.
However, it is not actually a poison in the true sense, but a very special kind of parasitic seed.
Once these parasitic seeds successfully invade the human body, they act like demons, rapidly breaking down into even smaller, finer thorns in the blood.
Subsequently, thousands of these tiny 'yin wood thorns' will travel to every corner of the body through blood circulation.
Once they reach their destination, they grow at an astonishing rate, frantically absorbing the essence of flesh and blood from the human body, and gradually transforming into 'Yin Wood'.
As time goes by, these 'yin woods' continue to spread and expand, eventually completely engulfing the entire body and transforming it into a terrifying 'yin wood tree.'
Ji Xianlin explained to Master Long in a low voice.
At this moment, Cai Yunfei leisurely played with the hair-thin 'Yinmu Thorn' in his hand. His movements were unhurried, as if he had everything under control.
Not far from him, the twelve burly men in brocade robes who had been standing were now completely immobilized. They opened their mouths wide, trying to make a sound, but found that only some indistinct whimpers could be squeezed out of their throats.
Gradually, their eyes began to lose their former luster, becoming dull and lifeless. At the same time, their skin, as if under some kind of evil magic, gradually transformed from its original healthy flesh color into a dark, gloomy, woody texture.
"This is terrifying! That old man is too cunning! Brother Ji, is there really no cure for this 'Yin Wood Thorn'?"
Master Long and Ji Xianlin watched the fight from a tree branch in the distance. They observed the entire sequence of events, from the old man's initial signs of defeat to the sudden plot twist where all twelve were killed by the old man's cunning scheme.
He saw it all. Master Long had never experienced the dangers of the martial world, so he was quite surprised by the old man's underhanded tactics.
"From the beginning, just use your internal energy to protect yourself and prevent the 'Yin Wood Thorn' from getting close. In fact, the 'Yin Wood Thorn' is the old man's true natal spiritual weapon, and the vine whip is just a carrier."
In battle, this creates a false impression, causing the player to overlook the existence of the 'Yin Wood Thorns'. They might mistake them for wood chips and dust falling from the vine whip. Furthermore, once the 'Yin Wood Thorns' enter the body, they require a period of expansion. Therefore, if the old man is killed or his cultivation is crippled during this time, the 'Yin Wood Thorns' within the body will dissipate on their own.
This is the kind of homework that needs to be done when one's strength is similar to or lower than his.
No matter how powerful a move is, it is useless in the face of absolute strength. Even if he succeeds in a sneak attack, he can at most defeat an opponent with the strength of the peak of the Earth Rank or the quasi-Heaven Rank.
Against a true Heavenly Rank expert, his techniques are essentially ineffective. With your Heavenly Rank Level 3 strength, even if he were to place the 'Yin Wood Thorn' into your body, you could use your powerful soul force to seal and annihilate it.
They could even use his connection with the 'Yin Wood Thorn' to retaliate against him, damaging his soul sea.
Ji Xianlin said.
"That old man is too cunning. He's killed so many people. Should we get rid of him?"
Master Long disliked the old man who was dressed in a gaudy, vulgar, and ugly way.
"These kinds of feuds in the martial arts world are neither right nor wrong. Once someone is killed, they are killed. As long as they don't provoke you, there's no need to get involved, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
You can go to the side and keep an eye on him. If he harms those villagers, you can intervene. After all, their sudden misfortune is ultimately caused indirectly by Ming'er. Consider it an apology on Ming'er's behalf!
Ji Xianlin said.
"Alright! I'll go take a look over there. It seems the villagers in the back village have also been bullied." After saying that, Grandpa Long flew over.
"Fellow villager, I've taken care of all the people who bullied you. Consider it saving your life!"
After taking all the valuables from the twelve people's storage bags, Cai Yunfei killed the unconscious giant and then went to the villager who was trembling in the corner and said to him.
"Thank you so much, hero, for saving my life!"
The villagers kowtowed in gratitude.
"No need for thanks, just tell me what you saw or heard that night!"
Caiyunfei said.
"That night around midnight, a sudden loud noise woke me up from my sleep. Then, a huge tremor came from the ground, which caused half of my wooden house to collapse. I was so scared that I quickly hid under the bed and didn't dare to come out. Then, it seemed like several white lights flashed across the sky. After the white lights disappeared, everything returned to normal, and I didn't hear any noise for the rest of the night."
As dawn broke, the villagers went out and discovered that branches of large trees in the distance had snapped, and some rocky hills had collapsed. Everyone suspected that a celestial being was punishing a demon; surely some demon had angered the celestial being, which was why the celestial being had killed it!
The villagers recounted everything they had seen and heard.
"that's it?"
Caiyunfei said with a frown.
"That's all I know! I've told you everything! I haven't hidden anything."
The villagers said sincerely.
"You know nothing, what use are you? You caused me to lose a spiritual weapon and I was injured and almost died at their hands! You should die too!"
The old man suddenly turned hostile, stood up, and raised his knife to slash at the villagers.
"what!"
Just as the steel knife was about to strike the villager's head, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot down from the sky without warning, burning both the steel knife and Cai Yunfei's arm to ashes. Cai Yunfei clutched his half-severed right hand, collapsed to the ground, and screamed in pain.
At this moment, an old man dressed in plain clothes with white hair and a youthful face suddenly appeared beside the villager, helped him up, and put a pill into his mouth to heal his wounds.
The villagers were stunned by this sudden turn of events. They stared wide-eyed at the old man who had helped them up, speechless.
"Who are you? Why did you ambush me!"
"I'm terrified," Cai Yunfei said to Master Long. The person who could sneak up on him and attack him must be at least as powerful as him. Now, injured from carelessness, Cai Yunfei was on high alert, ready to flee at any moment.
"I don't like you! So what? You can kill ordinary villagers, why can't I touch you?"
Without turning his head, Master Long said dismissively. He escorted the villagers into the room, leaving Caiyun Fei standing there.
"I...that's all I know..."
When the villager was helped into the house and sat on the bed by Master Long, he finally came to his senses. He said to Master Long in a broken voice that he still didn't understand what these people wanted him to say. He had told them the truth, but they didn't believe him and even wanted to kill him. He was so frightened that he had lost his soul.
“I know, you don’t need to say anything. Just lie down and recover. Take these silver shells and use them to buy some broken tools and renovate the collapsed house.”
Lord Long interrupted him, took out several silver coins from his person, and placed them in the hands of the villagers.
"Heh, I was going to spare your life, but you chose to court death, so don't blame me!"
After settling the villagers, Lord Long came out of his room and found that Cai Yunfei was still in the courtyard. She was holding a magical artifact resembling a palm-leaf fan in her only remaining hand, standing there poised to attack Lord Long.
