Chapter 901: Price of Underestimating One’s Enemy (2/2)

Was it a palm strike or a saber? This situation confused the Five Poison Devil.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Xiao Chen took a step back, then immediately charged over again. In an instant, he exchanged a hundred moves with the Five Poison Devil.

Snowflakes shattered, firing out strong beams of light—the glister of a bright saber light. Under the illumination of the s.h.i.+ning moon, they looked very brilliant.

After a hundred moves, Xiao Chen’s right hand turned completely black. Poison spread out like crawling ants, trying to enter his bloodstream.

The Five Poison Devil no longer dared to clash head-on with Xiao Chen in fear of the pain. He had already left the stone stools, retreating a kilometer. When he saw Xiao Chen’s pitch-black hand, he smiled coldly and asked, “Does your arm feel like needles are piercing it, like many venomous bugs biting it? So what if you are the Azure Emperor’s descendant? So what if people call you the White Robed King?

“After you get struck by my Shadowless Poison, you are still at my mercy!”

The Five Poison Devil’s arm was in so much pain that it was numb. However, he still laughed loudly, appearing very pleased.

This Shadowless Poison was why grandmaster-level Martial Sages were not willing to fight the Five Poison Devil. It was formless and shadowless. No matter what, one would not be able to avoid it. As long as they clashed against him, he would inflict it on them.

Unless one could kill the Five Poison Devil in one move, even if one killed him, they would just end up dying together.

Xiao Chen looked at his pitch-black right hand and the ant-like black poison and entered deep thought.

As for the pain from his arm, he did not even react to it with a frown. Compared to when he was tempering his body and the Lightning Tribulation that he experienced, this bit of pain was nothing.

“Boom!” Suddenly, his right hand exploded, leaving half his arm horrifyingly mangled.

Xiao Chen acted as though nothing happened. He looked carefully at the black poison that came out when his skin and flesh split apart. When the black poison came into contact with the air, it immediately vanished into nothing.

However, in that fraction of a second, he still saw everything very clearly. The black poison actually consisted of tiny venomous bugs of the same color as the air, thousands of them.

The flesh and skin on Xiao Chen’s right arm started regrowing at an extremely rapid rate. Soon, his arm had recovered perfectly—smooth and fair, with no signs of any black poison.

“Peak Rank 3 Sage Body!”

On seeing this scene, the Five Poison Devil could not help but exclaim in surprise. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen had attained a peak Rank 3 Sage Body. He used such a tyrannical method to wipe out all the Shadowless Poison.

With a thought, the purple Lightning Talisman turned into a flame and started burning on Xiao Chen’s arm.

With a casual wave, sizzling sounds came from the air. At that moment, Xiao Chen burned away many of the tiny venomous bugs that even his Spiritual Sense could not detect.

“It looks like the flames of the will can acquire these bugs.”

Now that Xiao Chen had a countermeasure, he no longer hesitated. Electric light flashed underfoot as he launched himself at the Five Poison Devil once again.

He used his body as a saber along with the snowflakes that filled the air. Countless saber lights flashed nonstop in the cold wind.

Every time Xiao Chen came in contact with the Five Poison Devil, no matter whether it was his shoulder or his palm, he covered the point of contact with his will flame. This way, he neutralized all of the Five Poison Devil’s Shadowless Poison.

“d.a.m.n it!”

The Five Poison Devil retreated continuously. In the end, no square of his skin remained intact. Anywhere that Xiao Chen touched, a saber-like energy sliced his skin up and cut into his flesh.

This saber was extremely sharp. The slightest movement would rip open a long wound.

On the surface, the Five Poison Devil looked like he was fighting with Xiao Chen on equal terms. However, his body was riddled with internal injuries. The intense pain was difficult to bear.

“Mister Qin, are you going to continue just watching?!”

After Xiao Chen knocked back the Five Poison Devil with another saber-like palm strike, the Five Poison Devil could no longer resist asking Mister Qin for help.

Mister Qin frowned. It did not appear to him that the Five Poison Devil had actually been pushed to such a point.

However, when he wanted to lend a hand, two figures in the air descended and blocked him.

Long Fei opened his folding fan and slowly released his death Qi. He said, “Mister Qin, as a senior, you aren’t going to do something that will humiliate yourself, right? In the first place, it is already wrong to bully someone younger. If you want to gang up on him, that is even worse.”

Qi Wuxue chuckled and said, “It’s hard to say. I can tell that Mister Qin’s stored-up killing Qi is about to burst out. He clearly wants to take part in bullying and ganging up on the young.”

You two dogs! Mister Qin cursed in his heart. These two fellows were blocking his way, and they kept working together to humiliate him.

However, these two were not people whom he could offend. One of them was the descendant of the White Bone Sovereign. The other was the Young Master of the Muddy Sky Gate. With the two of them working together, they would have no problem obstructing him.

When the Five Poison Devil saw Mister Qin being blocked, the thought of retreating sprang to mind. He spat out a long trail of black smoke to force Xiao Chen back as he said maliciously, “Xiao Chen, I will settle this with you sooner or later.”

However, right after the Five Poison Devil finished speaking, he suddenly discovered snowflakes emerging from the black smoke and gathering into a flower carrying the energy of the Winter Saber. Then, the flower landed gently on his chest.

Dealt a ruthless blow, the Five Poison Devil vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying back. A layer of frost rimed his hair, his eyebrows, and lips.

When the Five Poison Devil felt the horrible state of his body, he was startled. Losing his earlier arrogance, he turned around to flee.
