Chapter 464: The End of Taking One’s Enemies Lightly
A jade green color emitted from the old man’s sword and in the fire light it made for an extraordinarily peculiar sight. A force of wind created by the slash of the sword carried a faint nauseating fishy smell over.
“Be careful, the sword’s blade is poisonous!” called out Ling Chuxi as she made the prompt decision to scatter antidote powder into the air. A slight hissing sound could be heard all around them and then the fishy smell disappeared.
“To actually be able to resolve the poison made by Life Transforming Hall. Indeed, they must be the reinforcements sent by Resurrection Hall. Kill them all!” shouted Elder Qiu sharply. Under the powerful Battle Qi of the realm of Great Fulfilment, the green light of the sword became denser as the thick fishy smell a.s.saulted their noses once more.
At this moment, Elder Qiu’s face no longer held the conceit it initially did. His expression turned serious. Although his cultivation was not necessarily stronger than Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen, he believed that he could still deal with the two of them by relying on the skill of his poison.
That is until Ling Chuxi lashed out with the antidote powder. Only then did he find out that he had taken his enemies too lightly. Therefore, he was using his full force now and under the goading of his Battle Qi, the poisonous aura from his sword became even denser. Fearfully, even Ling Chuxi would have found it hard to deal with him if it were not for the exchanging of blows she had experienced with Ye Qianhe, because that was a lesson in the art of escaping.
Ling Chuxi’s heart sank slightly. If she was to be blunt, the exchanging of blows with Ye Qianhe was more of her actually running for her life. As long as she ran fast enough then things were fine. But now, she was facing such a strong opponent head on. In a situation whereby their cultivation was about at the same level, this poison the old man possessed was still quite a threat to Ling Chuxi.
Going on like this wasn’t the way out. Even if she herself were able to withstand his poisonous powder, what then about Ling Yichen and Jiang Wuhen? The other party’s members were not weak in cultivation and coupled with this poisonous powder, it was fearful that they would be simply be consuming a loss if things continued on like this.
Ling Chuxi frowned. A thought turned in her head and she got an idea.
Ling Chuxi shouted lightly and scattered another handful of powder, then her sword pierced out through the cloud of powder. With a clear whistling sound, a series of air spirals was produced by the sword. They came together to form a small cyclone, engulfing the poisonous powder in the air and headed towards Elder Qiu.
Elder Qiu frowned slightly. This was the first time he had seen Battle Qi being used like this. He felt the suppression contained in the swirling winds of the cyclone produced by the sword and he didn’t dare to be careless, so he utilized his Battle Qi to strike out with full force.
Sparks flew and both their arms shook at the same time. Ling Chuxi took two steps backwards but Elder Qiu only swayed slightly.
Elder Qiu felt calm in his heart. Although his invincible poison powder disappeared instantly when it met Ling Chuxi’s antidote powder, based on her cultivation level alone, Ling Chuxi was still weaker than him. For the strong in this realm, this small gap was enough to determine the outcome of life and death.
Thinking of this, Elder Qiu felt calm and his sword’s light flooded toward Ling Chuxi like a tide once again. Ling Chuxi’s eyes displayed a panicked expression as she resisted his attack while hurriedly retreating.
“So, it’s just merely that,” said Elder Qiu to himself as he sneered in his heart. As he no longer held the previous worries he had in his heart, his offensive stance became even fiercer.
At the same time when Elder Qiu and Ling Chuxi were fighting each other, the other three figures in black had already surrounded Ling Yichen in a star-shaped formation, and three swords pierced at the vital points of Ling Yichen’s body one after another, spraying out a poisonous fog at the same time.
As for Jiang Wuhen, he had long since been sent flying with a slap with blood spitting out of his mouth. And then, no one cared about his life or death as they all could see that Jiang Wuhen’s cultivation was insignificant, and the formidable enemies were only Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen.
Though the three of them were inferior to Ling Yichen in terms of cultivation, they cooperated tacitly. The most terrifying thing was that the poisonous technique utilized by them was weird and unpredictable. For a while, even Ling Yichen could not find a way to win, so he could only hold his breath, gather his concentration and deal with them one move at a time. For a while, the battle remained stuck just like this.
