The Black Devil Bees seemed to have received some kind of instruction and no longer lingered around the Black Poison King. Instead, they swarmed towards Thunder Dragon, Fire Rose, Barrow, Leo, Chad, and Cale.
With a swing of his Thunder Sword, Thunder Dragon slashed at the approaching Devil Bees.
The Devil Bees weren’t foolish; they split into two, avoiding the arc of lightning, but only a few were electrocuted.
The Devil Bees quickly merged back into one and flew towards the group again.
Fire Rose unleashed the Fire Lotus Flower, its intense flames burning the wings of the Devil Bees. Several Devil Bees fell to the ground, but they didn’t die.
Barrow struck with a hammer, causing a violent tremor in the earth and killing only two Devil Bees.
Chad and Cale managed to kill a few Devil Bees together.
The Devil Bee soon surrounded the six individuals but didn’t launch an attack.
As Leo looked at the circle of Devil Bees in front of them, he felt that something was amiss.
Black Poison King chuckled sinisterly and said, “Juliet, you’ve been mistaken. These little darlings of mine are not Devil Bees but a newly concocted venomous insect called Death Exploding Bee Poison.”
“Your companions have already been surrounded. Once I activate the poison explosion, they will bid you farewell forever.”
Juliet was horrified by Black Poison King’s words and urgently shouted, “Run, everyone! Break through the encirclement!”
“It’s too late, my darlings. Explode!” Black Poison King spoke and formed a control seal with his right hand.
Boom!
The Death Exploding Bees surrounding Thunder Dragon and the others collectively exploded.
Each exploding bee was like a miniature smoke bomb. After the explosion, black smoke instantly enveloped Thunder Dragon and his companions.
The true lethal move wasn’t the explosion itself but the black smoke.
Watching the people shrouded in black smoke, Black Poison King laughed wickedly again. “Enjoy the taste of my Death Mist.”
Though Thunder Dragon and the others held their breath, after Black Poison King finished speaking, they fell to the ground one after another, unconscious.
Within the span of a cigarette, the black smoke dispersed, and Thunder Dragon’s group lay motionless on the ground, completely unconscious.
“Poor ants. Although your strength is lacking, your bodies will make excellent nourishment for my insects.” Black Poison King chuckled lightly as he approached the six fallen individuals.
Juliet knew what Black Poison King was going to do to Thunder Dragon and the others. She gritted her teeth and made a difficult decision.
“Black Poison King, do you know what I have in my hand?” Juliet looked at Black Poison King and said loudly.
Black Poison King halted his steps and looked at Juliet.
On Juliet’s finger sat a remarkably beautiful butterfly.
The butterfly had seven colors on its wings, and as it flapped them slowly, it captivated one’s entire attention.
Black Poison King squinted his eyes. “This is… the Seven-colored Underworld Butterfly!?”
“No wonder I couldn’t find it after killing the old Witch. It was in your possession.”
When Black Poison King used underhanded means to kill the old Witch, his first goal was to acquire the Seven-colored Underworld Butterfly, but he came up empty-handed.
The reason Black Poison King coveted the Seven-colored Underworld Butterfly was that it could greatly enhance his power.
“Juliet, with your current level of venomous arts, you can’t tame the Seven-colored Underworld Butterfly.”
“I suggest you obediently hand it over to me. Perhaps then I will consider sparing your life. Otherwise, you will become the delicacy for my core venomous insects, just like these ants.” Black Poison King threatened with a cold tone, glancing at the unconscious group on the ground.
Juliet clenched her teeth and didn’t speak because she knew Black Poison King was telling the truth.
“Juliet, I am reluctant to harm them. Your companions are not ordinary people; their soul strength is extraordinary.”
“The best way to utilize them is to extract their souls, refine them with attached curses, and eventually turn them into living dead puppets. Hahaha…”
“Living dead puppets? You…” Juliet’s face turned pale.
Although she knew little about witchcraft, she understood how cruel it was to extract souls and refine them with curses.
“From another perspective, I am actually helping your companions. Once they become living dead puppets, they will indirectly obtain immortality. It’s something all humans dream of.”
Black Poison King became even more delighted, and a thick black aura emanated from his body.
“You are nothing but a demon!”
“Indeed, I am a demon. Juliet, let me tell you something that will shatter your worldview. In this boundless universe, there exist countless dimensional worlds.”
“The Earth we are on is just one of the countless planes in the Galaxy Sand Dimension, and it is a low-level civilization.”
“My goal is to break free from the shackles of time and space and reach higher-level dimensional worlds. To achieve this great goal, the foundation lies in refining living souls and continuously improving my cultivation. No one can stop me, no matter who they are!”
After revealing the secret hidden in his heart, Black Poison King burst into demonic laughter once again.
What Black Poison King said indeed exceeded Juliet’s comprehension.
However, whether it was about dimensions or not, Juliet didn’t care. She only cared about her companions and preventing Black Poison King from slaughtering more innocent beings.
“You old fool, your beautiful dream seems very convincing, but unfortunately, dreams are meant to be shattered, and you must wake up to face the cruel reality.”
On a towering tree, a figure stood quietly, looking down at Black Poison King and sneering.
Black Poison King raised his head abruptly, and his gaze froze. With a hint of surprise in his eyes, he said, “Kid, I never expected that I would misjudge you.”
Juliet also wore an astonished expression. She never thought that Leo, who had been affected by the smoke, would be standing on the tree so composedly.
She had no idea when Leo had climbed up the tree, and neither she nor Black Poison King were aware of it.
“Golden Sword Technique, Attack!”
Leo couldn’t be bothered with wasting words on Black Poison King. He formed a mysterious sword seal with his hands.
Spiritual power surged within him and gathered into a dazzling golden sword, emitting a radiant glow.
After the formation of the golden sword, it detached from Leo’s palm and grew in size, floating in the air in front of him, resembling an ordinary sword.
Seeing the golden sword in front of Leo, Black Poison King’s gaze froze.
Although the golden sword didn’t move, its presence exuded a dangerous aura that even made Black Poison King feel oppressed.
