MSBITRS Chapter 95 V1

The roc demon dove down from the sky, and the five people below all reacted differently.

The two elders at the True Immortal stage surged their immortal power, reinforcing the formation while preparing to fight with everything they had.

Youqin Xuanya immediately rushed toward Li Changshou and Ling’e, her sword case behind her opening as flying swords shot out to protect the three of them.

As for Ling’e and “Li Changshou”…

The ground beneath their feet rippled slightly like the surface of water; their feet were already half an inch submerged into the earth, ready at any moment to—

Slip away with an Earth escape technique.

The roc demon was still a hundred yards up when it suddenly let out a shrill cry. Its massive wings spread wide, and dozens of long spikes shot out from under them, raining down toward the formation below!

Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission to Youqin Xuanya, telling her to hold steady.

Youqin Xuanya gripped the porcelain bottle, upon which all their fates depended, with her left hand, while her right hand formed a sword seal in front of her. Her simply tied hair fluttered in the breeze as she raised her head, staring intently at the incoming roc demon.

She could feel it—behind the roc demon, there was an even more terrifying presence…

Even though she was only at the Returning Dao stage and hadn’t yet achieved immortality, there wasn’t a trace of fear in Youqin Xuanya’s eyes.

Only resolve. Only the will to fight!

Ling’e glanced at Li Changshou, admiration all over her face, as if saying:
“Senior Sister Youqin is so cool.”

“Li Changshou” smiled calmly without replying, his gaze also falling on the heavenly immortal high above.

This guy… surprisingly tricky.

As the long spikes rained down, the two True Immortal elders struck together. The protective light of the formation quivered violently, teetering on the verge of collapse.

After all, it was a hastily set-up defense.

The roc demon sensed it had gauged the formation’s strength. It let out a sneering “gawk” and—

First, looked up at the heavenly immortal in the sky, then dove viciously downward toward the ground!

At that moment, Li Changshou’s voice transmission reached Youqin Xuanya’s ears:

“Junior Sister, get ready.”

Youqin Xuanya immediately snapped to focus, her senses locked onto the situation.

As the roc demon charged, she gave a crisp shout:
“Elders, withdraw the formation!”

The two True Immortal elders withdrew their immortal power simultaneously, and the protective light wall vanished instantly!

With nothing blocking its path, the roc demon roared as it dove down, its demonic energy surging as it aimed straight for the two already-injured outer affairs elders.

The two elders could only grit their teeth and prepare for impact…

At that moment, Youqin Xuanya stayed perfectly calm. Facing the overwhelming pressure of a True Immortal stage demon, she found the opening she needed, pulled out the stopper from the porcelain bottle, wrapped the bottle in her power—

And despite being a mere Returning Dao stage cultivator, her hands did not tremble even slightly.

As the roc demon neared the two elders, Youqin Xuanya, following Li Changshou’s earlier instructions, gave a low shout and hurled the bottle forward!

“Elders, retreat!”

The two elders immediately dodged left and right, but both instinctively turned their heads for a quick look, and instantly—

Their old eyes widened in shock, almost popping out of their sockets!

The poison pill was supposed to be activated quietly with immortal power to silently poison the enemy, not thrown at them like a grenade!

One of the roc demon’s bird eyes glanced at Youqin Xuanya with contempt, and it swept a wave of demon power at the incoming bottle, attempting to knock it away—

At that moment!

A flash of fire erupted behind the bottle. One of Youqin Xuanya’s flying swords struck the porcelain!

Boom!

The bottle shattered instantly, releasing the poison pill inside, and a faint poisonous mist spread out.

The wave of demon power the roc demon had unleashed mysteriously dissipated…

The two elders opened their mouths in confusion, looking completely baffled.

The roc demon was still about thirty feet above the ground when its body trembled violently, then plummeted straight down, crashing into the edge of the broken formation and lying there motionless.

This worked?!

The two elders, and even Youqin Xuanya herself, were momentarily stunned.

In their hearts, they all couldn’t help but think the same thing:

“Elder Wan Linjun’s poison pills are truly something else!”

However, the truth was…

Simply throwing the bottle wouldn’t have worked; it had only succeeded because Li Changshou secretly intervened.

Moments earlier, Li Changshou, using his “Human Character No. 3” paper clone, had quietly dispersed the roc demon’s demon power.

The poison mist from the shattered bottle was very weak.

What knocked out the roc demon was the powerful knockout drug Li Changshou had secretly released.

Li Changshou had orchestrated everything to create a shared memory among the group—that “Youqin Xuanya threw the poison pill, and everyone passed out together.”

But the knockout drug he used wasn’t enough for the Roc demon…

The two elders nearest to the roc demon began to sway, vision blurring, and eventually slumped to the ground.

Elder Tian, forcing out the last of his immortal strength, looked at Youqin Xuanya and managed a bitter smile:

“Xuanya…
That’s not… how you use… poison…”

With a clatter, Youqin Xuanya’s flying swords dropped from the sky. She didn’t even have time to respond before her eyes closed, and she collapsed from midair.

Lan Ling’e hurried forward, catching her senior sister and preparing to use an earth escape to hide them.

But Ling’e suddenly felt everything go black, and she fell to the ground too, still holding Xuanya.

“As expected, Senior Brother…”

Ling’e sighed quietly in her heart, peacefully passing out, but without a trace of fear.

‘Li Changshou’ swayed a few steps, clutching his head and groaning faintly before collapsing next to the girls, shielding them with his body.

Thus, one demon, four people, and one paper doll lay scattered across the hillside, looking perfectly natural and without any obvious flaws.

It simply looked like Youqin Xuanya’s poor “poison handling” had accidentally knocked everyone out.

However, the heavenly immortal elder high up in the sky only coldly smiled when he saw this.

He did not descend immediately.

The old Daoist took out a large seal and a pearl. First, he raised the pearl into the air, letting it hover above his head as it emitted a green light that shielded him.
Then, he hurled the large seal toward the area where the group lay.

The seal expanded as it flew, growing dozens of yards across, gleaming with dazzling light.
Empowered by his Heaven Immortal cultivation, it looked as though it could crush the entire valley beneath it.

In a dark, narrow corner, Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly.
This old Daoist, clearly a Heaven Immortal, was still being so cautious, even after the five people below had already been knocked out by their sleeping powder. He still refused to descend, instead using a treasure to strike from a distance.

Li Changshou sighed inwardly.
He had truly encountered a fellow “kindred spirit”—no, a truly troublesome opponent.
