Chapter 846 – Five Kinds of Peerless Techniques (2/2)
At this moment, the six government laborers did something completely unexpected. They let go of the chains in their hands, apparently unconcerned that Chusu might escape. They then held their cudgels upright, creating a makeshift fence to protect themselves as they retreated backwards.
The government laborers were retreating? Then who would prevent Chusu from killing the peddlers and fortune-tellers controlling the array?
The foul and toxic black fog traveled with Chusu, swiftly pervading the shore. The grass and fish in the water instantly died upon contact with it.
Just when this black and toxic fog was on the verge of touching those peddlers and fortune-tellers, it was suddenly torn apart.
It was like the deepest darkness had suddenly been torn into two by someone dropping from above.
What tore apart the black fog was two extremely ordinary fists.
There were two elders who sold sesame-seed candy standing on the shore.
The moment Chusu arrived, they had just finished tying a green cloth around their stalls, preventing the candy from being stained by dust, and then they walked out.
They bent their knees, lowered their waists, calmed their minds, clenched their fists, and punched.
It was uninteresting, commonplace. There was none of the grace of a cultivation expert, but something more like a boxing teacher in some rustic village.
Only true cultivation experts could understand the wondrous traits of these two punches.
'Uninteresting' meant that they had already brought this action down to the bare essentials.
'Commonplace' meant that they had already made this action an everyday routine.
This was what it truly meant to be upright and moderate.
And they were using the most traditional techniques of the Imperial clan!
Boundless light exploded from their fists.
This light was different from the light of the array pivot. There was no divine aura in these rays of light, only heat.
Their fists emanated endless heat, looking just like two blazing suns!
The foul black fog that had followed Chusu was instantly torn into shreds.
Burning hisses could be heard all along the river.
”The Blazing Sun Style! How can there be Imperial clansmen here!”
Chusu's flabbergasted shout erupted from the depths of the black fog.
His face and clothes were already covered in countless tiny holes, looking just like well-distributed sesame seeds on candy.
Countless rivulets of black blood flowed out of these tiny holes, creating an abnormally bloody and horrifying sight.
The astonished cries in the wind transformed into anguished howls of fury, making him sound just like an ancient monster that had been wounded.
With a strange yell, he charged towards the two elders, black blood streaming from him.
This black blood was his true blood, containing a poison many times stronger and more concentrated than the black fog.
Even if his opponents were possibly Imperial clansmen using the most traditional Blazing Sun Style, they could not resist this black blood.
The two elders' expressions became grave. With a swish, they cast off their long gowns and prepared to punch again.
At this moment, a girl walked in front of them.
Both Chusu and the candy-selling elders, at this most critical moment of this dangerous battle, had forgotten that there was also a little girl present.
It was the girl who wanted to buy cosmetic powder.
She had already been buying cosmetic powder in Wenshui City for a very long time. Although she was not able to buy cosmetic powder every time or only stood in front of the cosmetic powder stalls, she had already bought a great deal of powder.
She threw this cosmetic powder into the sky.
Red and white powder, peach and osmanthus, and even the cheapest gardenia flower powder was all present here.
The space above the river instantly became a world of cosmetic powder, countless fragrances mixing together.
No matter how swift Chusu's movement techniques were, he could not possibly avoid this powder that suffocated the world, so how could he avoid the fragrance?
The fragrance assailed him.
Cosmetic powder and fragrance fell on his body.
A shocked expression appeared in his eyes, then was swiftly dyed red and white by powder.
He even felt like his soul and blood had become fragrant.
He discovered that he had been poisoned!
How was this possible?
