Her crimson lips parted slightly as she uttered three words.
The moment her voice fell—
An invisible and intangible power that seemed capable of annihilating all things erupted violently, centered on her right eye!
There was no world-shaking explosion, no brilliant light and shadow.
The moment the encroaching poisonous mist touched this power, it silently dissolved and was annihilated, like snow under a scorching sun!
The four Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge Disciples were even more so as if struck by lightning!
They felt their Divine Souls, which were connected to the Formation, as if they had been viciously hacked by the sharpest guillotine!
"Puff!"
The four of them simultaneously spat out a large mouthful of blood, their faces turning as pale as paper instantly, and their auras withered to the extreme!
The poison techniques they were famous for were actually broken by a single glance from the opponent, causing a backlash upon themselves!
"Im... Impossible..."
The sinister young man's eyes were full of despair and disbelief.
He couldn't understand why the opponent, who was clearly only in the Golden Core Stage, would possess such Heaven-Defying means!
Gu Luoli didn't give them any more chances.
She unsheathed her sword and delivered a single swing toward the four of them.
A streak of Sword Qi condensed to the extreme was as fast as a lightning bolt, slaying the four of them in an instant.
From the moment Gu Luoli appeared to the moment the four Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge Disciples were executed, the entire process took only ten short breaths of time.
It was so fast that Zhang Cheng's trio almost didn't have time to react.
At the edge of the swamp, silence returned, with only four corpses and the residual scent of poisonous mist showing what had just happened.
The golden light in Gu Luoli's eyes slowly faded, and her Double Pupils returned to their usual deep appearance.
She walked over to Zhang Cheng's trio, checked their injuries, and only after confirming they were fine did she give a faint smile.
"Fortunately, I wasn't too late."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Gu, for saving our lives!"
Zhang Cheng's trio snapped back to their senses and hurriedly bowed in salute, their voices filled with gratitude.
Witnessing Senior Sister Gu execute four powerful enemies with thunderous means, especially the terrifying sight of her Double Pupils revealing their might, was deeply etched into their hearts.
"We are fellow Disciples, there is no need for such formalities."
Gu Luoli's tone was calm.
"Clean up the battlefield and take their Storage Pouches. Then, meet up with the other fellow Disciples as soon as possible."
"Yes, Senior Sister!"
The three of them quickly complied and began to tidy up with nimble hands and feet.
Gu Luoli looked toward the depths of the Secret Realm, a faint golden light swirling deep within her Double Pupils.
She faintly felt that something of great terror seemed to be awakening within this Secret Realm.
"It seems I must gather our fellow Disciples as quickly as possible..."
She had already made a decision in her heart.
Soon, Zhang Cheng's trio finished cleaning up.
Gu Luoli re-confirmed the distribution of the light spots of her fellow Disciples on the identity jade token and selected a direction.
"Let's go. We'll head to meet up with Senior Sister Liu and the others first."
"Yes!"
With Gu Luoli, a core true Disciple, leading the way, Zhang Cheng's trio felt greatly reassured and quickly followed.
The four figures quickly disappeared into the mist at the edge of the swamp.
Only the four gradually cooling corpses of the Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge Disciples remained, bearing witness to everything that had just occurred.
