Chapter 758: Fireball Technique!

As the bottle shattered to pieces, the liquid inside splashed all over.
After the first bottle was thrown over, a second and third one followed. Once again, Ren Baqian opened the box that Ba Man and Xiong Yue brought and threw out a total of eight bottles filled with Pesticide No. 1.
As the pesticide splashed all over, the liquid gradually turned into gas and circulated around the cave. Ren Baqian anxiously observed the jade-waisted slaves surrounding Qi Ziting to see if the pesticide would produce any results.
After observing for some time, he still wasn’t able to notice any results. Most of the demonic butterflies continued to flutter in the air, while some were struck by Qi Ziting’s crutches.
“Sir Ren, let’s step forward and help.” Ba Man and Xiong Yue couldn’t wait any longer. One of them dashed forward to help Qi Ziting while the other dashed toward the empress.
However, even though they were both Cardinal Heaven experts, they were far weaker than Qi Ziting and the empress and could only revolve around the surroundings.
Ba Man, who went to help Qi Ziting, was slightly more helpful as he was at least able to attract the attacks of some of the jade-waisted slaves. Xiong Yue could barely keep up with the empress and only managed to squeeze in with the chain of jade-waisted slaves.
It looked like a race.
Ren Baqian opened the second box and started throwing Pesticide No. 2 at Qi Ziting’s location.
This time around, he smelled the scent of bitter almonds.
It was the smell of cyanide.
A poison such as this would cause tremendous harm to ordinary humans. However, after seeing how his elder brother-in-law was still vigorous and lively, Ren Baqian felt that the poison probably didn’t affect Qi Ziting.
Even an Earth Wheel expert had a higher resistance to poison compared to ordinary humans, not to mention a Cardinal Heaven expert.
After throwing over the bottles from the second box, Ren Baqian observed that their movement had grown slightly slower and that they also weren’t able to maintain their balance properly in the air. Their graceful flutter had become a little sluggish as well, and it was as if they were in a drunken stupor!
He was delighted to see that Pesticide No. 2 had some effects on them.
At that moment, a gust of wind swept across Ren Baqian. He felt a slight sting in his eyes and immediately shut them while lowering his head. He then felt two sharp objects poking at his head.
“Courting death!” The empress dashed toward him and threw her fist over. Like a drifting willow in the wind, the herdsman got blown away by the blast of her fist!
“Be careful!” the empress said before quickly chasing after that herdsman.
Ren Baqian felt a liquid flowing down his forehead. When he stretched out his hand to wipe, his entire palm was stained with blood.
“Damn it!” he cursed.
He had been practicing the [The Yang Boosting Technique] lately, and the weakest part of his body was his head… The purpose of this technique was to allow him to consummate. If he wanted his head to be as tough as his body, he would first have to submerge his head underwater before undergoing the ice and fire heaven baptism.
Ren Baqian didn’t think that his head would be able to take the pressure.
As such, he had basically given up on tempering his head.
Even though the skin on his head had already toughened a bit from all the training, it was far weaker than the other parts of his body. As a result, he had suffered this injury!
Fortunately, the herdsman wasn’t that strong. If he was slightly stronger, Ren Baqian’s head would have exploded!
Seeing that the empress had given chase, he opened up the third box of pesticide and tossed all the bottles over.
This box of pesticides had a very faint stench. It was like that of a stink bug, which was commonly referred to as the smelly sister. However, when combined with the lingering scent of the first and second boxes of pesticide, it immediately became a scent that would make someone feel like throwing up.
Even before the jade-waisted slaves reacted to the pesticide, Qi Ziting couldn’t take the stench any longer and shouted, “What are you doing, kid?”
He was completely engulfed in the stench, it smelled as if he had fallen into a latrine pit, and he almost fell to the ground. A few demonic butterflies seized this opportunity and pounced on him. The human faces on their bodies started to gnaw at his body, trying to tear his flesh off.
The second person to react to it was Xiong Yue. Having been surrounded and attacked by hundreds of jade-waisted slaves, he was already having a hard time fending against them. When the stench hit his nose, his guard immediately dropped, and he sustained a few more wounds.
These jade-waisted slaves appeared very beautiful and graceful, but when they surrounded their target, they would cut him or her everywhere. Their wings were like their weapons.
More viciously, when they pounced on their targets and bit them, they would never let go no matter what. They looked extremely malevolent and vicious, the complete opposite of the beautiful radiance they had before.
Qi Ziting and Xiong Yue cursed, but they soon came to realize that the pesticide very quickly took effect. One by one, the demonic butterflies seemed to fall into a drunken stupor and swayed around in midair. Soon after, hundreds of them began to fall to the ground and lay there twitching.
“Done!” Ren Baqian was elated. He then took out all of Pesticide No. 3 and tossed them at where the butterflies were. Not long after, the entire cave was filled with the pesticide’s stench, and almost half of the jade-waisted slaves in the air fell to the ground.
Most of them twitched on the ground after they fell. They struggled to get back up in the air, but their efforts were to no avail.
“Kid! What did you throw?” Qi Ziting was astonished. After spending a long time fighting these butterflies, he had killed fewer of them than Ren Baqian had with this pesticide.
So many fewer!
After expending so much energy fighting for so long, he had merely killed about 1,000 of them. However, almost half of the jade-waisted slaves had fallen to the ground by now, covering the entire floor!
The remaining jade-waisted slaves were also greatly affected and were swaying in the air.
Even those that were chasing the empress had slowed down as well.
Seeing the positive turn of events, Ren Baqian immediately shouted out to the others, “Ignore the butterflies for now. Go get the main culprit—the herdsman!”
The situation then began to undergo a change.
Previously, the empress was chasing the herdsman while the butterflies were chasing the empress with Ba Man running alongside them.
On the other hand, Qi Ziting and Xiong Yue were overwhelmingly surrounded by them.
At present, half of the jade-waisted slaves had fallen, whereas the remaining ones were swaying. The speed of their movements had slowed down tremendously, and they gradually dropped to the ground.
Qi Ziting and Xiong Yue immediately joined forces with the empress. All four people surrounded the herdsman.
No matter how big this cave was, it was still a confined space. The herdsman was immediately surrounded by peril when all four of them closed in on him. He subsequently had no choice but to dash toward Ren Baqian, seemingly trying to find a way to escape.
“Stop him!”
“Hide!”
Qi Ziting’s voice and the empress’s voice rang out at the same time.
However, the things that they said were completely different.
This herdsman looked similar to Bor, and he stared at Ren Baqian with his green eyes. Behind Ren Baqian was the exit of the cave.
Even though the sunlight would cause the herdsman harm, his chances of escaping would greatly increase as long as he got out of this cave.
Ren Baqian, who was standing in his way, was the weakest one of them all, and the herdsman didn’t even care about him.
The herdsman could even kill him!
It was he who tossed out all those bottles that affected the jade-waisted slaves previously.
He would pose a huge problem if he wasn’t taken care of!
“Protect yourself, Your Majesty!” Ren Baqian shouted as he let out a grin. The pesticide wasn’t as simple as it seemed… It would become highly flammable once it evaporated in the air. This was something that the Messier 87 department had warned repeatedly!
Ren Baqian took out a lighter and stared at the herdsman with a look of ridicule as he charged over…
“Check out my fireball technique!”
Boom!
It seemed as if the entire cave had exploded.
A large blaze engulfed the majority of the cave.
The herdsman, who was currently in a position between Ren Baqian and the empress, was caught in the center of the blaze. He was immediately engulfed by it.
An hour later, the empress dragged the motionless Ren Baqian out of the cave. The red muslin that she was wearing had a few more holes in it while her face was covered in black soot.
Qi Ziting, Ba Man, and Xiong Yue came out looking like Africans.
The trio felt wretched as they carried the charred herdsman who smelled like barbequed meat!
