Chapter 852 - Inflicted With Heavy Losses (2/2)

“No outsiders are allowed to bully the disciples of this old man!”

An old voice came drifting from afar as a large dark net came from the distance and directly shrouded the entirety of the courtyard inside. When the lightning bolt splashed through the black net, sparks splashed to all direction and then disappeared.

What followed immediately was the appearance of a decrepit old man in a dark green robe sporting a chignon hairdo. He came riding a flying sword and appeared in front of Tang Xiu before instantly releasing a green mist that emanated out from his body and enveloped everyone present.

“10,000 Dragons Poison.”

When Tang Xiu stopped breathing to disperse the green mist, a drop of transparent liquid solution touched his skin silently. The transparent liquid melted into Tang Xiu’s clothes, and with its powerful penetrating power began to seep into his skin. In just a half a breath, it was dispersed inside Tang Xiu’s body.

“This is…” Tang Xiu’s countenance changed as a chilling and pungent colloid substance continuously scattered inside his body, sending sensations of piercing pain. It also included a corrosive effect, making Tang Xiu feel as if his body was frozen while his muscles and flesh were being corroded within.

The decrepit old man guffawed and said, “The 10,000 Dragons Poison is the beast core of a several thousand-year-old Aquatic Dragon this old man has stored in the chilling Spirit Spring in the center of the Arctic. It is combined with 99 venomous serpent toxins that took me two years to refine. Cultivators who are at the Golden Core stage and below can never escape from death. Even if you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, your power will be greatly sapped and you will still die.”

A black scepter appeared in the hands of that old man out of thin air, along with a rising flame into the sky. The green mist in the surrounding then instantly ignited as the whole space turned into a sea of fire.

Tang Xiu’s pupils contracted as the layers of flames wrapped him inside while the black scepter instantly appeared in front to strike him. Judging from the aura emanating from this old man, he was a powerhouse who was at least at the middle stage of Golden Core.

This old man was the most terrifying expert Tang Xiu had encountered so far.

“Begone!”

The longsword was unleashed, creating layers of sword images that instantly enveloped his body. Sparks burst and splashed as the old man’s black scepter that was about to hit Tang Xiu’s head instantly shattered, whereas the swift and fierce sword qi then flashed and instantly left several bleeding wounds on the old man’s chest.

“What?!”

The old man’s complexion drastically changed, and he hastily retreated all of a sudden after rigidly shifting position in several directions.

Tang Xiu’s figure swayed a few times. The chilling Yin Qi had nearly frozen all his internal organs, but what flustered him the most was that most of the colloid substances which entered his body began to drill into his Niwan Palace at lightning speed. After he succeeded in pushing back the old man, a deafening roar suddenly exploded inside his mind.

The brain was the Niwan that represented soil, as the Earth element within the two arteries that passed through the kidneys’ essence was the ‘seed’ in his kidneys—the so-called essence of vitality, which then flowed into the Niwan inside the brain. With the transparent Yin substance exploding there, it instantly caused a huge heat wave, causing Tang Xiu to nearly pass out due to the alternating cold and heat energy.

BOOM…

Right at the time when Tang Xiu passed out for a brief moment, a heavy punch came rumbling and bombarded his chest. His body was barraged amid the crazily gushing out blood and he flung backward for tens of meters like a cannonball before he heavily fell into the antique building behind him.

“RUN!”

More than a dozen high-ranking members of the Qingcheng Monastery quickly fled one by one when they saw that Tang Xiu was being barraged. Tang Xiu originally was going to help them, but a much more powerful enemy had now come; it was even more important that he was also Bai Zhen and Bai Biao’s Master. However powerful their wish to help Tang Xiu was, they had a clear estimation of what they could do. Not only would their efforts to help Tang Xiu amount to nothing, but they would also waste their lives for nothing.

“You wanna run? DREAM ON!”

Although Bai Zhen and Bai Biao were heavily injured which nearly made their combat power down to zero, they forcibly unleashed a forbidden art at this moment to heal most of the injuries, enabling them to exert 50-60% of their power. Yet, that amount of power alone was still adequate to completely annihilate the surviving members of the Qingcheng Monastery.

Puff…

A longsword, however, came striking from the left side right at the moment when Bai Biao was about to kill an expert of Qingcheng Monastery with a blow. The sword straightly cut through his neck and instantly killed him.

“BASTARD!”

Bai Zhen’s eyes were as though bursting out with hatred. He gave up chasing his enemy and furiously dashed towards the front of Bai Biao and hugged him. Yet, at this moment, two silhouettes instantly appeared before him.

“Joint strike!”

Sword images swept over him, creating a form like a blossomed lotus. Bai Zhen hastily blocked it, but his arms were shattered by the sword beams. In the next moment, a shadow appeared behind him and punched his back heavily.

Puah…

Bai Zhen crazily gushed out blood with his heart destroyed.
