Chapter 1217 Attacking the Fifth Heavenstage of Foundation Forging

Long Chen had no choice but to consume this poison pill after seeing the power of the Bloodkill Hall’s a.s.sa.s.sins and ancient race experts that had been sent after him .

Although Long Chen had killed Dan Chu, he had no choice but to admit that luck had played a part in it . But that luck had been created with his own power and scheming .

As for the twin a.s.sa.s.sins, he had relied on the arm guard and boots to launch a sudden counterattack to reverse the tide .

But that kind of thing would only happen once . The second time, it would be ineffective . Furthermore, he was sure those twin a.s.sa.s.sins had more trump cards that they hadn’t used yet .

He hadn’t seen the three ancient race experts, but he could sense a feeling of grave danger from each of them . Each one of them had the power to fight him to the brink of death .

It was unknown whether it was Long Chen who was lucky or Dan Chu who was unlucky, but he had allowed Long Chen to steal so much of his spiritual yuan and flame energy, causing him to go from an easy win to losing his life .

If Long Chen had been in his peak state when he fought Dan Chu, perhaps there would have been another conclusion . Dan Chu would have been fighting him all-out from the start, not giving Long Chen any chance at all . The Soul Devouring Violet Flame was too powerful, and if they had started fighting all-out from the start, Long Chen would have been at a huge disadvantage since their flames were not even close to the same level .

The reason he had managed to con Dan Chu step by step and kill him was because Long Chen had profited from his previous misfortune . But of course, such a thing could only happen with Dan Chu’s cooperation . Not everyone had such arrogance and idiocy .

If he had been in his peak state, at best he would have tied with Dan Chu . To defeat him would have been very difficult, and killing him would have been basically impossible .

Dan Chu was dead, but there were still those twin a.s.sa.s.sins and three terrifying ancient race experts, each of them just as strong as Dan Chu .

One problem was that Long Chen’s cultivation base was too low . They were all experts at the ninth Heavenstage of Foundation Forging, while he was still at the fourth Heavenstage .

But the thing that pained Long Chen the most was that his body couldn’t cope with his cultivation base . He wasn’t able to unleash his full power . And if he increased his cultivation base again, which he could right now, his movements would be even more restricted . His actual combat power would probably drop .

If he didn’t resolve this problem, he might not be able to fight anyone once he reached the ninth Heavenstage . Just trying to use his power would cause his body to explode . This was too stifling .

So despite seeing how fierce and sinister this Mandara Body Tempering Pill was, Long Chen had no choice but to steel his heart and swallow it .

BOOM!

Long Chen had only just consumed it when he felt like a volcano had exploded within him . Boundless medicinal energy was pouring throughout his body .

It was like a scorpion hive had exploded, and millions of scorpions were rampaging in his body .

Long Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood . It was black as ink and released a strong fishy smell .

“How toxic!” Long Chen cursed inside . His whole body became black, and pain wracked his entire body .

The Blazing Dragon Cauldron unleashed a ray of light that was about to envelop him, but Long Chen stopped it . “Don’t . I can endure it . ”

Long Chen was a bit moved . The Blazing Dragon Cauldron was actually worried about him being poisoned to death and wanted to help him . It was willing to even use its little remaining core energy to remove the poison from his body . That was a big sacrifice .

But Long Chen needed this poison to circulate around every inch of his body . He couldn’t counterattack . He needed to open every bit of his body so that the poison could infect every cell .

Even though he considered himself to have a pretty good tolerance for pain, he almost couldn’t bear it . The veins on his forehead popped up, and his eyes bulged out . He felt like his body was about to explode .

But he obstinately clenched his teeth and endured the pain . Blood dripped out from how hard he clenched his teeth .

The Mandara Body Tempering Pill had the greatest effect the first time . He had to use this chance to violently stimulate his body’s potential .

The more his body felt like it was about to die, the greater his body would work to grow under the threat of the poison .

Long Chen was confident in his body . It could definitely endure this . The only question was whether he could endure the torment of the pain or not .

After several breaths, Long Chen was laying on the ground, twitching . But he did his best not to scream or to roll around .

Any movements would waste energy . What he needed to do was to focus all his strength on enduring the pain . He couldn’t waste any .

Twenty hours pa.s.sed before the pain gradually faded . Long Chen was lying there like a dead dog . He rested for two incense sticks’ worth of time before getting up and sitting .

“The poison has faded . Looks like the ant.i.toxin pills I prepared were for nothing . My body’s even stronger than I expected . ” Long Chen put away a white pill . Afraid of dying, he had prepared this ant.i.toxin pill, but he hadn’t needed it in the end .
