Chapter 796: Chapter 795: Seizing the Opportunity
Two powerful Void Origin Realm fighters clashing, causing the void to shatter like glass with each collision, creating thousands of rifts. Terrifying currents swirled within those rifts, threatening to spill out.
"Manipulate chaos, Return poison to unity!"
The body of Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor was enveloped in a colorful aura, which then turned into a grey mist, spreading out from his arms, blanketing the entire night sky in darkness.
This darkness was not just a visual transformation, but in every inch of air, it contained a lethal poison. Without the protection of a Void Origin Realm Array System, the Thousand Darkness Poison Palace would unavoidably suffer serious casualties, even a peak Earth Immortal would not be spared.
"What an overwhelming power of martial arts, it’s not just at full capacity, but eleven or twelve-fold, perhaps?"
Shi Xiaole’s breath hitched slightly.
Eighty percent of the martial arts power is enough to earn a place on the Earth Immortal list, and ninety percent is more than enough to be ranked among the top hundred. Up until now, no one in the Divine Barrier Realm has managed to comprehend the full potential of their martial arts power, not even second-rate martial arts possess that capacity.
Perhaps the Martial Emperor achieved it once, but he never publicized it.
In the Void Origin Realm, martial arts power further increases, reaching a terrifying eleven or twelve-fold, each percentage point representing a world of power. Shi Xiaole’s mental quality had reached the Void Origin Realm, so he could vaguely grasp the intricacies of the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor’s move.
As for others, they can only see the poisonous fog covering the sky, it was like doomsday had arrived, and their hands and feet were frozen to the extreme.
"Sea of Bitterness!"
A fist mark broke through the grey poison fog, and an ocean of endless powerful air surged out from it, engulfing everything instantly. Fu Zongming was above the ocean, continuously punching, engaging in a life and death battle with Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor.
"Fu Zongming, you still can’t get the better of me."
The Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor said coldly.
"What about adding me?"
Nine colorful rays suddenly appeared in the sky, finally merging into white. With a bang, the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor retreated in a slightly embarrassed manner by thousands of meters, staring at the old man who appeared: "Nine Unions Martial Emperor!"
The old man was wearing a nine-color robe, short and sturdy, but his momentum was endless. He was the contemporary leader of Nine United Gates, the Nine Unions Martial Emperor.
"Unexpected, isn’t it?"
The corners of the Nine Unions Martial Emperor’s mouth lifted slightly.
"Back when my senior brother was around, you didn’t dare to even let out a single fart. The Nine United Gates were even relying on my Thousand Darkness Poison Palace to survive. These years, with my senior brother not appearing, your courage grows bigger and bigger, coming directly to fight."
The Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor scoffed. With each sentence he uttered, the Nine Unions Martial Emperor’s face grew even more unsightly.
In the past, the Thousand Dark Poison Emperor was a demon that everyone feared, possessing unfathomable strength, along with his extraordinary Poisonous Skill, even the top masters of the Western Sea archipelago held him in high regard.
But from over a thousand years ago, there has been no news of the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor in the world, many people thought he had died in seclusion. Until recently, news came out that the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor was dead.
Glancing at Fu Zongming, murderous intent rose in the heart of the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor. He had reasons to believe that it must have been the Qin Building spreading the rumor because they had the motive, as well as the capability to get a closer approximation of the truth.
"Ridiculous, I merely do not wish to escalate things, so I have been tolerating, but your Thousand Darkness Poison Palace has truly gone overboard. Today, I will act for justice!"
The Nine Unions Martial Emperor expressed righteously, not waiting for the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor to speak, he had already taken the lead in attacking.
He indeed has some doubts about the life or death of the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor, but Qin Building has no reason to deceive him, otherwise, they would not have committed themselves, and considering the relationship between the Nine United Gates and the Thousand Darkness Poison Palace, a battle is inevitable sooner or later, today can be considered a probing fight.
Under the joint attack of Fu Zongming and the Nine Unions Martial Emperor, the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor was soon at a disadvantage, retreating continuously, causing many masters in the palace to secretly clench their fists and break out in a cold sweat.
If they lose, the Thousand Darkness Poison Palace will cease to exist!
Shi Xiaole’s eyes sparkled, and while keeping an eye on the fierce battle between the three extraordinary fighters, he couldn’t help but raise doubts in his heart. The Thousand Darkness Poison Palace had been in existence for thousands of years, with an unimaginable deep-rooted foundation. Could it really be conquered by just two Martial Emperors?
Given Qin Building’s intelligence sources, it would be even less likely for Fu Zongming to attack alone.
With the looming suspicions, Shi Xiaole subconsciously operated the Heaven and Earth Changing Great Method, detached his mental strength from his body, and wanted to observe more closely.
"Hmm?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he found that in another palace more than five thousand meters away, there were also two people engaged in a life and death battle.
He recognized one of them, an inner elder of the Thousand Darkness Poison Palace.
The woman was dressed as a maid and her face unfamiliar, but her aura could not deceive Shi Xiaole, she was also an acquaintance.
"Is this Qin Building’s true motive?"
With lightning thoughts flashing in his mind, Shi Xiaole felt like he had grasped something and rushed to the site without hesitation. Because he deliberately concealed himself, and everyone’s attention was attracted by the big fight, no one noticed his departure.
Poison Elimination Peak.
In a huge palace.
Two figures were confronting each other. An invisible but surging power flowed and collided between them--they were engaged in the most dangerous mental contest.
Suddenly!
Elder Dumie suddenly spouted blood, his face pale as gold paper, he retreated three steps, bumping over a row of seats.
The woman across from him withdrew her mental power, letting out a sigh of relief. However, her hands did not slow down at all and she sealed off Elder Dumie’s acupoints from a distance.
"Hahaha..."
Elder Dumie burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"The woman spoke coldly.
"I mock you, you filthy whore, disguising yourself as my personal maid, attempting to control me secretly only for it to backfire on you."
As she was in a state of confusion, the woman suddenly stumbled and fell. Her expression radically changed, "When did you poison me?"
Impossible, she had already figured out his tactics and had taken all necessary precautions. It came out of the blue that she was actually afflicted.
"You filthy whore, you’re simply unlucky. Three days ago, I learned the Spirit Poison Technique."
"Spirit Poison Technique?"
The woman’s heart sank.
The Spirit Poison Technique is one of the most terrifying and difficult techniques to defend against because it uses spiritual power as a carrier and is often transmitted through mental confrontations.
The user also suffers from the poison’s effect, making it an attack that injures both parties.
Among her fellow disciples, it was her disguise technique and spiritual power that were the most refined. She took over from her third Senior Brother, sacrificed Qin Building’s undercover agent, whom they had cultivated for hundreds of years in the Thousand Dark Poison Palace, and spent countless energies to infiltrate with their leader and second Senior Brother.
They even used Martial Uncle Fu Zongming to distract the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor. Although Fu Zongming had a higher success rate, he was the pillar of Qin Building and could not enter the den of the enemy.
She was the weakest among their targets and thought they could arrest her easily. But it turned out that she was their death knell. Was it fate?
The woman laughed sorrowfully.
What was terrifying was what happened next. Elder Dumie chuckled eerily a few times and through a secret method unlocked her acupoints, walking up to her with a playful expression.
As a martial artist of the Poisonous Skill, Elder Dumie had much greater resistance to poison than the woman and was less affected by it, naturally he could still move freely.
"My spirit poison only requires to stay a few days in the Thousand Poison Cave to neutralize. But you, hehe, before you die, I want to see your true face."
Elder Dumie waved his hand and the woman’s vigorous air around her body distorted and shattered.
In a moment, her delicate features became ten times more exquisite. Although not dolled up, there was a destructive allure in her. The fallen body was full of tempting curves.
Hiss!
Elder Dumie’s chest rose and fell, his murky eyes flashing brightly.
He had played with countless women, including stunning beauties, but he had never seen anyone as exceptional as her.
If you seek to kill me, you must be prepared to pay the price. Consider your body as your compensation!
Elder Dumie’s lust surged and he gave a sinister smile. Although he didn’t believe she could resist, he started by addressing her acupoints, then lecherously reached for her chest.
The woman’s face turned pale, and she felt goosebumps erupt all over her body. How she wished her leader or second Senior Brother would come and rescue her, but it was impossible.
As her identity was exposed, Elder Dumie activated the Array System. Given the abilities of her fellow brothers, it was impossible for them to break the Array System without a sound.
So, she was destined to fall into his hands.
A tear welled up in Yan Yuchai’s eye and slipped down her cheek. She felt numb and cold all over, her body drained of strength. If this were a dream, she would gratefully thank all the deities, three times a day.
"What an admirable taste, Elder."
Just as his fingers were about three inches away from Yan Yuchai’s chest, a laugh echoed.
Elder Dumie raised his head abruptly and before he had time to react, he faced a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky. Like a drowning man falling into a whirlpool, he was effortlessly sucked into a vortex, unable to resist.
Having blocked his energy sea and hit his acupoints, Shi Xiaole counted his blessings.
Elder Dumie was a genuine Earth Immortal at the peak. If he hadn’t been previously injured and blinded by her beauty, Shi Xiaole would stand no chance of approaching him, let alone controlling him.
Despite the abrupt turn of events, Yan Yuchai did not feel relieved. She knew too well the effect she had on men and didn’t know what the man would do next.
Crouching down without saying a word, Shi Xiaole used the Heaven and Earth Changing Great Method on Yan Yuchai, making her lose consciousness after a series of shocks.
"Do you know Shi Xuanzhong?"
"I do."
"And your relationship with him?"
"He’s my master’s good friend. We’ve been looking for him for years, hoping he could help rescue my master."
Such an answer took Shi Xiaole by complete surprise. He asked many more questions, but evidently, Yan Yuchai didn’t know much either.
As the warm breath from her mouth entered his nose, Shi Xiaole’s heartbeat quickened. He quickly stood up and retreated a few steps. Once he calmed down, he was suddenly overjoyed.
According to Yan Yuchai, his master should know Shi Xuanzhong better. The former was confined in the Thousand Dark Poison Palace, right?
Glancing at Elder Dumie who was struggling on the ground but unable to scream, Shi Xiaole felt as if he had grasped a grand opportunity.
He knocked out Yan Yuchai with a slap, then managed to squeeze out a lot of information from Elder Dumie before turning him into air casually. By the time he left the palace, he had become Elder Dumie.
There was a roar of killing far away.
A group of martial artists were chasing a man who, Shi Xiaole could easily discern, had disguised himself. Although the man was a peak Earth Immortal, he was captured successfully after a prolonged fight.
Fu Zongming in the sky let out a fierce howl, a mix of joy and sorrow, and launched another round of furious attacks, yet he was blocked by the Thousand Ghosts Poison Emperor who had reinforced the Array System.
