Poison God's Heritage

The Suns kept watching as the hallway was revealed to them. On one side, an incoming wave of messy ranks of rakshasa. They were slobbering and charging without lead or organization. Their goal was the destruction of their enemy and they were ready to throw the entire weight of their army at it to achieve that goal.

As for the other side, Shen Bao was in the middle of an army that advanced forward like immovable walls of lead. Unstopping, unrelenting and devastating. Their enemies charged them but were cleanly halted in their spots.

The white rakshasa would die in droves the moment they got closer to the front wall. Lead and bullets shot through them, causing the least of their devastating injuries as poison began spreading and destroying them in droves.

The Rakshasa quickly realized that a frontal confrontation would undoubtedly lead to their deaths. So they tried many things of using the walls and ceiling, only to perish as those were too easy to figure out for Shen Bao.

The fight lasted no longer than half an incense stick worth of time. In that time, not a single puppet on Shen Bao's side was destroyed, but the entire army of the Rakshasa that charged them had perished.

Seeing that The Blue sun's eyes lit up, there was hope, they could actually leave.

"Didn't I tell you, trust the lad a bit? He still gives this old man a few surprises every now and then."

"Thank you, Lording Sun. I'll keep your words to heart," she replied to him back in Divine Sense.

The rest of the suns all had neutral looks on them, such as the Flamboyant Sun and the Darkest Sun. Or were outright rooting for Shen Bao, the most notable was the Dusking Sun who was laughing heartily whenever Shen Bao's puppets performed well.

As for the Cryptic Sun, even though he cultivated for many millennia, he couldn't help but show a sour expression on his face.

Because if Shen Bao were to succeed in leaving, he'd lose his bet on owning the Bastion.

However, he didn't voice his opinion, after all winning a battle is not like winning the war. And so far he has yet to see any puppet from Shen Bao's side capable of handling one of the Silver Rakshasa.

Soon, however, Shen Bao's army was put in a precarious position. In front of them, was a massive staircase that led to the upper floor. Since they all moved in large numbers, they couldn't use the elevator and had to use the stairs as a way to proceed to the fourth floor.

However, the enemy was already waiting, this time with several brutes on its side, the smartest of the Rakshasa was hunched up screeching at the front of the army. Giving them orders to follow and not to proceed past a certain point on the stairs.

The powerful rakshasa army was now even stronger with a brain leading it.

Shen Bao raised his right arm in a fist. This made the entire puppet army stop in its tracks.

For the Suns who were watching that was quite the discipline. To command an entire army to halt without even uttering a word was something they had never seen before.

Shen Bao then lifted two fingers up, then pointed them forward.

Several puppets in the backline were immediately lifted up by their comrades. They aimed their rifles at the Black Rakshasa and shot a full salvo of bullets towards it.

The Brutes jumped to protect the black Rakshasa, and the Black Rakshasa realizing the incoming danger jumped up to dodge it.

However, things didn't go as expected for the Rakshasas.

The Rakshasa didn't understand what happened, and it was almost instantaneous. The black rakshasa's body in air was riddled with holes. As for the brutes that were supposed to protect it, they had their own problems, as they were also shot with a powerful poison that turned their bodies into bloodied sludge in less than a couple breaths of time. They couldn't even react, no one noticed what happened.

This sequence of events made the Suns confused. Although the weapon that Shen Bao has on his puppets is relatively powerful for a void stage cultivator, it shouldn't have ever been a threat to the Brutes or the Black Rakshasa. After all, they're in the Void Shattering Realm and Origin Realm respectfully.

They should have been more than capable of blocking or at least dodging the bullets, why did they all get shot?

"A second," the Darkest Sun said and took control of the Fire Lord's mouth again.

"How did you do that?" the Darkest Sun asked, intrigued.

"Do what?" Shen Bao asked. "How did you manage to land the shots? They were careful and ready, you shouldn't have been able to hit them, they even dodged…"

"Oh, it's because you're not using your own eyes to see things. You missed the forest for the trees," Shen Bao replied.

Which was not a reply for the Darkest Sun and more like an insult calling him blind.

The Darkest Sun had lived for many years, and would never be angered by words spoken by someone far below his status so he ignored it and waited for Shen Bao to explain.

Shen Bao sighed and said, "The Fire Lord is unable to see it, so are you. Since you're using his eyes. His cultivation is Yang-based so he is unable to see the small film of Yin Poison Qi in front of us. It's like a curtain that's refracting light, giving false information to whoever is on the other side. They see us but see us a fraction of a second later." Shen Bao said.

This was difficult even for the Darkest Sun to understand, but he didn't need to look at the film of poison to know it existed, he only needed to use the Fire Lord's eyes to look into Shen Bao. Indeed, there was a constant outpour of Qi that was coming out of Shen Bao and stopped in front of his army.

The Darkest Sun withdrew his control from the Fire Lord and looked at the Wisest Sun.

"It is indeed an ingenious idea. Sadly, that can't work everywhere. What he is doing is creating a mirror using the properties of Yin. The mirror is reversed from the point of view of his enemies. So those that are on the right side are on the left. This is like his domain of True and False… which flips cardinal directions.

As for this mirror film, it has a small delay in showing what's happening behind it to what's in front of it. Although the delay is unnoticeable by a normal cultivator below the Void Stage. For those higher, that is reason enough why they were wasted…"

The Dusking Sun laughed praising Shen Bao, "Quite the shrewd mind… he is using his foe's cultivator against them. The fact that the brutes and the black rakshasa moved out of harm's way was the very reason that they were killed. They tried to dodge but ended up dodging right where the projectiles were going to land anyway…"

However, things weren't that simple right now. The wounded black Rakshasa was hit with multiple poison bullets, some that were designed to kill the Brutes, and some that could kill the white Rakshasa, but no sign of poisoning appeared on it.

Shen Bao already expected that since he didn't have the body of a Black Rakshasa to test things on it.

The Black Rakshasa screeched once again, making two brutes come to stand in front of it. The wounds on its body began healing right there and then as it shouted more and more giving orders for the White Rakshasa to initiate combat.

A wave of white Rakshasa charged forward down the stairs, to which the unstoppable hair of bullets rendered them completely useless. They died and turned into pieces of ice that shattered due to more bullets that shot through them and into their incoming allies.

The Black Rakshasa seemed as if it was going insane as it kept on sending more waves of white Rakshasa to their deaths.

Shen Bao on the other hand had a worried expression on his face as his comrades were happy with the destruction in front of them.

"What's wrong?" Law asked.

"This is too easy…" Shen Bao said.

"Isn't that good?" Law said.

"No, if it's too unbelievable to be true, then it must not be true. They can't use their Qi but they can use their mind. Something isn't right here… why is it throwing away the lives of so many…" Shen Bao's question was a proper one.

For many others seeing something like the enemy general sending waves of allies toward their death would usually mean that the general is demented. However, those with a higher intellectual level, they'd realize that something was awry.

And soon, Shen Bao's face turned pale, "Shit! The ice!" as soon as he finished his words. Several massive blocks of Soulsteel were pushed down the stairs.

The Black Rakshasa wasn't throwing away the lives of its race for free. It was using the fact that they turned to ice when they shattered to facilitate the sliding of these heavy objects.

Massive cubes of fallen Soulsteel were pushed by more brutes down the stair that was further lubricated by the ice shards and the frozen blood of the white rakshasa.

And from Shen Bao's eyes, the spinning cubes were the bowling balls and he and his army were the pins.
