Supreme Vision Master Chapter 1277: Witchcraft Sect (Part 3)
Previously on Supreme Vision Master...
The expression of the leader clad in black altered drastically.
He urgently bellowed, "Discard all the Gu insects you carry, then liberally apply the Gu Avoiding Powder all over yourselves... Flee!"
His words were cut short by a chorus of screams erupting from the surrounding black-robed figures.
The containers housing the Gu insects on their persons burst open.
One by one, the Gu insects swarmed out, piercing their skin and burrowing deep into their flesh.
In an instant, agonizing screams filled the air!
Those affiliated with the Witchcraft Sect, who commanded the Gu insects, experienced the direct consequence of their own creations turning against them.
Furthermore, from the deepest reaches of the valley, the very heart of the Witchcraft Sect's headquarters, faint, sharp cries could be heard.
It was clear that even those inside the Witchcraft Sect were suffering the backlash from the Gu insects!
This is the inherent weakness of the Poisonous Insect Technique!
While it granted power far exceeding ordinary cultivators, they remained bound by the very Gu insects they wielded!
Even if an opponent's cultivation was less potent, employing a Gu insect of a higher caliber than their own would instantly ignite a backlash from their existing Gu insects!
This retaliatory force sprung forth uncontrollably; without prior protective measures, resistance was impossible!
The more potent the Gu insect, the more devastating the backlash's impact!
Anguished cries now echoed throughout the Witchcraft Sect!
"You!"
The black-robed leader, being the first to react, found mere astonishment inadequate to describe his gaze fixed upon Luo Qingtong.
Their control over the Poisonous Insect Mother was so seamless and complete.
Had he not known that the Poisonous Insect Mother belonged to their Sect Leader, he might have easily assumed it was nurtured by Luo Qingtong herself!
How could this be possible?
This Poisonous Insect Mother was nourished by the Sect Leader's own Heart Blood; it should never heed any other's command!
Even they had to utilize the flute, a sacred artifact bestowed by the Sect Leader and stained with his Heart Blood, to exert control...
How did this woman manage to seize command and make it an obedient servant?
The black-robed leader frantically blew the Poisonous Insect Flute held in his mouth, attempting to halt the Poisonous Insect Mother's actions, but it utterly ignored the flute's directives!
In essence, its allegiance to the Sect Leader had been severed!
It no longer recognized the Sect Leader as its master!
This... How could such a thing be conceivable?!
The black-robed leader's face was a mask of utter bewilderment.
Because he had reacted swiftly, he had applied the Gu Avoiding Powder and discarded the Gu insects on his person, thus narrowly escaping utter ruin!
However, the Gu insects currently swarming around him were clearly amassing under the Poisonous Insect Mother's renewed commands!
Once their numbers reached a critical mass, they would attack indiscriminately, paying no heed to the protective Gu Avoiding Powder on his body!
At that point, his fate would be sealed!
Contemplating this dire prospect, the black-robed leader's expression grew increasingly fraught with fear and desperation.
He cast a glance at Luo Qingtong, feeling an immense wave of relief that her cultivation was not overwhelmingly strong!
In this current chaotic situation, escape might still be within his grasp!
With this thought, the black-robed leader surged upward, his palms moving like the wind as he annihilated the Gu insects surrounding him!
He then charged directly towards the valley entrance, the very path Luo Qingtong occupied...
"Clear the way!"
He roared ferociously, his hand crackling with raw energy as he unleashed a powerful palm strike aimed directly at Luo Qingtong...
