Li Haun did notice that every time she used her sword that consumed so much spiritual energy, her arms gets thinner. Her breathing also gets heavier like her very life is being drained by just continue fighting.The red and black flame from her spiritual swords that was original like whips attacking is not strong enough to corner Gao Lan Mei just like what happened earlier.
Li Huan still tried to condense more impurities but regardless how much she tried to gather, it is not giving her more strength to fight or even hit Gao Lan Mei, at least once.
It did not take long for the barrier to completely disappear. Gao Lan Mei still standing inside leisurely as she steps on the fire on the ground, extinguis.h.i.+ng it, while Li Huan knees on the ground as she again used her sword to support them to not slump on the ground.
"Why? Why won"t you die?!" Li Huan asked again, agony and despair consuming her feeding still her greatest desire to kill Gao Lan Mei.
"Why? Hmm… It was inevitable." Gao Lan Mei just looked down on Li Huan as the woman"s spiritual energy slowly vanish from her body.
"Right Deacon Ma? What do you think?" Gao Lan Mei specifically asked as the deacon is the first one who reacted when the smoke started spreading.
Ma Fei Hong just shrugged her shoulder, "You can say that."
"Can I now get something from my storage ring? This means I won right since all of you joined in." She added curiously as Gao Lan Mei looked around the others, not only from the Immortal Domain but also from her family and the Wei Palace.
Ma Fei Hong nodded, "Yes. You already won. I inhaled some of the smoke, can I have an antidote?" she asked, lying. She may have inhaled some but they are not enough to really affect her. She just wants to have an antidote so she can have it studied.
"Oh, I like those paper cranes. They are like a small treasure box, gives anyone a big surprise. Tell that to Wei Jiayi." Ma Fei Hong stated, after receiving a small pill from Gao Lan Mei.
Everyone who heard the deacon"s claim suddenly realized something. The from earlier are poisonous! The poison was carried by the paper cranes!
One of them asked, "Why do you need an antidote?" he asked showing some of his guts. Being"s from Justice Affairs have all resources. The best healer and poison experts. So why ask if already have it?
Ma Fei Hong realized the reason behind the question. Then with a smirk, "Hmm, this is something new." Deacon Ma smirked after accepting Gao Lan Mei"s antidote. Then she looked down at Li Huan. "I think it also destroys cultivation very quickly. Just look at her."
"Did I guess it correctly?" Ma Fei Hong asked Gao Lan Mei. Impurity Madness will give you enough spiritual energy, and it will boost your strength until it completely consumes you.
So a poison that stops cultivation is the only logical explanation Ma Fei Hong can think of for Li Huan"s current state. The concubine"s face still has the blank protruded veins, but non-existent spiritual energy.
Gao Lan Mei using poison is a good call as it is not easy to fight someone who is consumed by Impure Madness. Looking at the recent events it seems Li Huan"s greatest desire in her life is to kill Gao Lan Mei.
If they were not able to find out about Li Huan"s impure madness, there is a high chance that the concubine will not only want to kill Gao Lan Mei but all that is related to her as well.
That"s what impurity do to you. The desire and greed to get something that you badly wants regardless what it is. If Li Haun will be free, she may continue wreaking havoc.
