Chapter 1730 - Mirage Venom (2/2)

Zhang Ruochen removed his mask, and his facial features changed, revealing his real face. “So I wonder if the Priest of Guanghan Field, Zhang Ruochen, is a good enough ident.i.ty?”

Elder Qi’s old eyes focused on Zhang Ruochen and he said, “So you are the famous Time and s.p.a.ce descendant. No wonder you could order such a huge amount. Please give me a moment to read your information and make an estimate of your credit.”

Taking out a magic cube, Elder Qi inserted large amounts of Qi within. Immediately after, countless words appeared on the surface of the cube.

Following which, Elder Qi smiled. “Seems like Young Master Ruochen is also the Crown Prince of the Kunlun’s Field Sacred Central Empire. With two Supreme Saint level masters, and controlling a world, it is not impossible for you to pay up this huge sum.”

“Seems like your information is quite up-to-date!”

Zhang Ruochen knew that the two Supreme Saints that Elder Qi was referring to were the two Divine Beasts from the Guarding Dragon Pavillion. They had appeared when attacking the Moon Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect.

“As an a.s.sa.s.sination organization, information is of the utmost importance. If young master Ruochen wishes to purchase information, you could also cooperate with us.”

With that said, Elder Qi continued, “However, the Saint Stones in question are a huge amount, so we still need to verify your ident.i.ty to prevent anyone from pretending to be you.”

“How are you going to verify that?”Zhang Ruochen asked.

Elder Qi replied. “We just need one droplet of your blood. No matter how you can change your appearance, your blood remains the same.”

Clang!

From the stone wall behind Elder Qi, a lanky lady walked out. She was like a humanoid blob of water, as she seemed semi-transparent. However, Zhang Ruochen could feel signs of life from her.

She carried a plate.

On the plate, there was a silver dagger and a cup.

The lady’s face gradually solidified and her skin seemed almost metallic. She said, “Mister, please.”

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the dagger, and was just about to p.r.i.c.k his finger with it when he realized something. For the sake of safety, he put the dagger back onto the plate.

Whis.h.!.+

One of his right-hand fingers lightly swiped on the index finger of his left hand, and a light line of blood could be seen.

Drip!

A single drop of blood dripped into the cup.

Just as this happened, Zhang Ruochen felt a pain coming from the wound.

Normally it was natural to feel pain when the skin was being cut.

However, Zhang Ruochen realized that the pain he felt was definitely more than usual.

This was unnatural!

Zhang Ruochen’s face changed, and he quickly activated his Qi to block his blood from flowing out from his hand.

At this very moment, that lanky lady suddenly turned murderous, and condensed into a silvery sword, slicing straight at Zhang Ruochen’s forehead.

With his reaction speed, Zhang Ruochen jumped back and retreated.

Boom!

His body was unable to break through the door of the building. On the door, a large amount of inscriptions surfaced, and turned into a gust of Saint Qi, blowing him away.

Just as he was about to be stabbed by the silver sword, Zhang Ruochen’s figure disappeared. He had teleported to a corner of the building.

The sword flew back to Elder Qi’s hands as he stood up. With a friendly smile, Elder Qi praised, “It is rare that a youngster like you could be so cautious. Just as you entered this building, you stopped your breathing and closed your pores. That rendered my hypnotic fragrance useless.

“Just now, there was poison on the dagger. As long as you even lightly cut your skin with it, you would have died within seconds. Not using the dagger made me disappointed too.

“However, no matter how cautious you are, you would fall victim eventually to someone who tries to kill you.

Zhang Ruochen realized that his entire left arm had lost sensation, and was turning transparent. His skin seemed to have turned transparent, as his blood vessels, meridians, and bones were all visible.

That numbing sensation started to spread to the rest of his body.

He’d been poisoned!

“What.. is this? What did you do?”

Zhang Ruochen started exercising the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture to suppress the poison.

Elder Qi walked slowly towards Zhang Ruochen, with the smile that had now turned treacherous, and proudly told him, “It’s useless. This is a special poison from the G.o.d of Death Palace: Mirage Venom.

“It is tasteless and odorless, impossible for you to detect.

“Even if it was floating in front of you, any creatures below the cultivation level of a Supreme Saint would find it impossible to detect. The moment you cut your skin, the poison penetrated through Saint Qi protecting you and invaded your body.

“Are you feeling numb? That you are gradually losing your senses?

“Look at your arm, it is gradually turning transparent. Haha, soon your entire body, including your consciousness and Saint Soul, will turn translucent. Just like a mirage.

“Of course, even if you turn translucent, you are still valuable. I will forge you into my sword, and my Sword Spirit’s power will surely increase by leaps and bounds.”
