Chapter 2209: Chapter 2209: Taking Advantage of the Chaos
"Charm Technique?" Ye Haochuan was slightly surprised.
He finally understood why the Tie Family Twins acted so absurdly with the Ghost Widow after defeating her—it was the effect of that Charm Technique.
One must admit, the Ghost Widow’s charm skills were indeed impressive, to instantly mesmerize a powerful figure like Tyrant Kirin.
Just as Tyrant Kirin was momentarily dazed, the Ghost Widow twisted her alluring figure, slowly approaching Tyrant Kirin, striking a pose as if inviting him to pick her.
As Tyrant Kirin reached out to grope the Ghost Widow’s ample front, a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly gripped a small dagger in her right hand, stabbing out with ghostly precision.
The dagger gleamed with a green light—it was evidently poisoned, capable of causing instant death even if it didn’t hit a vital spot.
Tyrant Kirin seemed completely unaware, utterly unguarded, allowing the dagger to pierce his skin.
Ding~
The dagger struck Tyrant Kirin’s waist, producing a sharp metallic clashing sound.
"What powerful Body Refining Techniques!" Ye Haochuan exclaimed in shock.
It turned out the sharp dagger couldn’t even pierce Tyrant Kirin’s skin. On the contrary, the Ghost Widow was sent retreating several steps by the rebound.
Awakened by the stab, Tyrant Kirin suddenly roared in anger, "You are courting death!"
The Ghost Widow’s face changed drastically, clearly not expecting Tyrant Kirin to be so formidable. However, with things as they were, she could only grit her teeth, once again waving the dagger, aiming directly at Tyrant Kirin’s eyes.
Tyrant Kirin wasn’t about to give her any more chances. He grabbed the Ghost Widow’s neck with one hand, lifting her entirely, and as for the dagger aimed at his eye, he snatched it away, crushing it to scrap metal.
The Ghost Widow struggled desperately, yet she was like a grasshopper caught in a grip, completely unable to break free.
Tyrant Kirin’s eyes showed a ruthless glare, his hand gripped tighter, seemingly wanting to snap the Ghost Widow’s neck.
At that moment, a cold sword light suddenly slashed towards Tyrant Kirin’s arm.
Tyrant Kirin, confident in his formidable body, paid it no mind.
Yet in the next moment, he regretted it—the sword light swiftly cut through his skin, slicing four inches deep, causing him to grimace in pain, giving the Ghost Widow a chance to escape.
Ever since his Body Refining Techniques reached Great Achievement, few had been able to leave such a long wound on him.
His eyes scanned in anger and he suddenly spotted a cold-faced young man at True Immortal Early Stage, charging at him with a sword.
"This Afeng is finally willing to show his full strength?" Ye Haochuan silently watched the cold-faced young man, murmuring.
When he first fought Afeng, he felt Afeng was holding back. Now it seems that was indeed the case.
Although he was puzzled that even though Afeng had acted, Zhu Shen was still safely hiding behind a boulder.
Moreover, Afeng’s timing was clearly to assist the Ghost Widow, could it be...
Tyrant Kirin’s fury surged, he suddenly summoned a giant club, slamming it towards the cold-faced young man.
Afeng dared not take it head-on, narrowly dodged.
Tyrant Kirin swung his giant club, sweeping it horizontally.
Yet at that moment, a ghostly figure had already climbed onto his back.
The two soft bulges on his back did not make him feel tender; instead, a sense of danger spread throughout his body.
He quickly abandoned his attack, reaching out to grab.
But ultimately, he was a step too late—a dagger had already stabbed into his right eye.
"Ah~"
Tyrant Kirin howled in agony, grabbed the arm wielding the dagger, and fiercely threw it out.
The thrown Ghost Widow was quickly caught by Afeng. Yet as Afeng caught her, he finally felt Tyrant Kirin’s immense force, hitting him so hard that his organs shifted, spewing blood from his mouth.
The Ghost Widow suffered even worse, her face white as paper, and it seemed all her bones were shattered and her breath was erratic to the extreme.
However, the Ghost Widow didn’t make even a sound, quickly swallowed a pill, struggled out from Afeng’s embrace, and warily watched Tyrant Kirin.
Tyrant Kirin’s right eye was blinded, the poison on the dagger spreading rapidly.
Gritting his steel teeth, Tyrant Kirin fiercely pulled the dagger out, then stabbed two fingers into his right eye socket, scooping out the eyeball and some attached flesh.
Such a bloody scene made many around feel shocked and fearful, yet Tyrant Kirin did not utter a single sound, as if what he had gouged out wasn’t his own flesh.
His speed was swift, removing most of the spreading poison, though a trace of venom still spread, invading his body and muddling his mind.
After a brief adjustment, he suddenly let out a shout, remaining left eye overflowing with murderous intent, hurtling towards Afeng and the Ghost Widow.
Afeng and the Ghost Widow clearly hadn’t expected that under such circumstances, Tyrant Kirin still possessed such fighting strength, they could only desperately resist.
"Zhu Shen is actually involved with the Ghost Widow, truly a formidable character!" Ye Haochuan sighed softly.
Then he suddenly looked up, his face brimming with joy.
Night had fallen—it was his time to act with wild abandon.
He had not intervened, naturally not out of fear of these people, but to avoid unnecessary trouble and attracting too many enemies.
He only wanted the treasures in the Secret Realm, to quietly take them—isn’t that enough? Why bother with fighting?
The Dark Force was released, Ye Haochuan’s figure quickly vanished without a trace.
Unaware of anyone along the way, Ye Haochuan swiftly bypassed the heated battlefield of Tyrant Kirin and the others, diving headfirst into the void’s black hole.
Instantly, the surrounding environment changed greatly, waves of rich herbal aroma rushed into Ye Haochuan’s nostrils.
"Haha, this time I’m going to strike it big!"
Thinking of the people outside still engaged in brutal combat, while he leisurely harvested herbs inside, he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.
This Secret Realm, indeed specializes in producing herbs, untouched for thousands of years, was now undoubtedly a kingdom of herbs.
Ye Haochuan took just a few steps, already seeing several kinds of rare herbs from the outside world.
However, he did not start picking, instead he directly passed through, using Perspective Eyes for a thorough ground search.
Under Perspective Eyes, everything was revealed.
The world within the Secret Realm wasn’t particularly large, just composed of four or five medicine valleys.
Soon, Ye Haochuan’s eyes lit up with joy, quickly sprinting to the bottom of a medicine valley.
Here stood tens of stalks of grass resembling bamboo, exuding a refreshing and pleasant scent.
"Is this... a thousand-year-old Cleansing Immortal Grass?" Ye Haochuan looked at the stalks of Cleansing Immortal Grass with blue-black stems, almost drooling with delight.
Generally, the age of herbs correlates with their potency; a thousand-year-old Cleansing Immortal Grass is already the king among its kind, its efficacy strong a hundredfold.
Ye Haochuan’s hands trembled with excitement, hesitating for quite a while, afraid his picking would damage even the slightest potency of this supreme herb.
"Why am I being so foolish? Just transfer it along with the soil into my Minor World!" Ye Haochuan suddenly slapped his forehead, waking up to the realization.
