Chapter 597: Changing the Situation
With a loud howl, Ling Chuxi’s Qi of True Essence emitted an oddly beautiful light and surged towards Qiu Gaohe with a force like thunder.
This was the first time Ling Chuxi had gone all out since she had been promoted to the realm of True Essence, and even she herself did not know the power a Spiral Qi of True Essence paired with the Turning Cloud Gesture would have.
At that moment, Ling Chuxi felt a mighty force in her like a hurricane, and her face lit up in delight.
Qiu Gaohe was shocked. The last time he had met this brat, she had only been at the Great Fulfilment Intermediate stage, so how was she at the realm of True Essence now? Furthermore, her tyrannical Qi of True Essence seemed to be on par with his. How was it possible?!
As questions flooded his mind, both their Qi of True Essence collided. Ling Chuxi was strong, but her control over the Qi of True Essence was not good enough yet. Meanwhile, Qiu Gaohe had good control, but when facing Ling Chuxi’s Qi of True Essence which had undergone layers and layers of acc.u.mulation, he did not dare to hold back.
There was a loud explosion, and a dome-shaped ma.s.s of air and dust burst upwards with both of them at the center. Ling Chuxi and Qiu Gaohe took a few steps back.
A few of the Wu Feng Hall experts standing nearby hadn’t expected such a huge effect from just one exchange of blows, and were sent flying backwords with their ears ringing. When they fell to the ground, they realized that they were not severely injured and started to relax. However, almost immediately, their expressions changed to terror. They started crying out in panic as they rolled and writhed on the ground, their faces turning green.
Their bodies were itching and burning with a piercing pain, and they couldn’t stop themselves from frantically scratching their faces. To their horror, their fingers tore through their skin, revealing white bone amidst trails of crimson blood.
Poison! They had actually been poisoned! The expressions of the other Wu Feng Hall members changed and they retreated a few steps. These people were some of the top experts of Wu Feng Hall and even they were unable to withstand this potent poison!
The people from Wu Feng Hall turned to Qiu Gaohe angrily. Everyone knew that the Qiu family was good at using poison, but was this old man an idiot? They only had two opponents, but when poison had been brought into the battle, their people had been the ones injured! What kind of logic was this?!
“Qiu Gaohe, what are you doing?” Chu Fengyun hollered as he eyed the people suffering and wailing on the ground.
“It wasn’t me who threw the poison!” Qiu Gaohe was also stunned. He wasn’t so stupid to use such a poisonous powder amidst his own allies!
“Little brat, you actually dare to use poison against me!” Qiu Gaohe suddenly felt his chest become tight, and he immediately took out a pill and swallowed it. To his shock, he realized that his own Qiu family’s medical and poison skills had fallen into Ling Chuxi’s hands, and he had almost walked into her trap.
Qiu Gaohe was stunned. She had only recently obtained the skills of the Qiu family, so how could she use them so magnificently? Her skills were even a decent bit stronger than his own!
What Qiu Gaohe did not know was that the Ling Chuxi before him had, in another world, learned the other Golden Pill Sect’s medical and poison skills. Hence, learning the Qiu family’s skills this time took half the effort with twice the gain.
Now, regardless of medical or poison skills, Ling Chuxi was the leader of all three families and quite a bit stronger than Qiu Gaohe. If not for Ling Chuxi focusing on cultivating martial art techniques more than poisoning, Qiu Gaohe might have suffered quite a terrible fate.
