Chapter 209: Liu Li Will Always Live in My Heart (2/2)
However, from w.a.n.g Lu’s point of view, the thirty years price was worth it.
Of course, it didn’t refer to causing heavy losses to A Xia—spending thirty years of lifespan for this kind of junk would be a waste for him. It referred to extinguis.h.i.+ng the pent-up anger in his Jade Mansion. It also left a lasting, unforgettable trace.
Just now, when Liu Li was seriously injured, the Non-Phase Immortal Heart in his Jade Mansion had crazily operated. Blood-red flame trickled out, burning everything within the Jade Mansion. This was a genuine heart demon fire. Due to his Big Heart Demon Oath, once he encountered enormous emotional fluctuation, it could draw this kind of demonic fire that was comparable to the heavenly fire. However, after w.a.n.g Lu’s three punches pacified the sea of fire, his Jade Mansion quickly restored to normal. But, on the surface of his Non-Phase Immortal Heart, there was a black scar that was difficult to eliminate.
Of course, if he wanted it, there were ways to eliminate that scar. However, w.a.n.g Lu actually wanted to keep it. He wanted to forever remember this thirty years of lifespan price lesson. Professional adventurers were indeed fierce, but they were far from being omniscient. A slight carelessness, and he couldn’t even protect the people around him that were worth caring for… Wouldn’t such lesson worth to remember?
As for the poisoned Liu Li… that was another matter entirely.
After those three punches, w.a.n.g Lu’s mood has calmed down. However, unlike w.a.n.g Lu, A Xia felt as if he was a drowning man trying to grab a straw. Since he thought that he had found a chance to survive, he hurriedly said.
”Do you think that since you come from the Five Unique of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, you can run rampant in the Nine Regions? You, these elite disciples, most definitely have life-saving elixirs bestowed upon by your Elders, which could solve ten thousand types of poison. However, my Devouring Heart Rotting Bone Poison is not one in ten thousand poison, how could it be so easy to cure! Moreover, for the famous physique of Brilliant Sword Heart, once poisoned, it would immediately spread to the whole body. Without my antidote, Liu Li would definitely die without a doubt!
As if to echo A Xia’s roar, Xiao Qi’s slightly hurried voice came over.
”w.a.n.g Lu, Liu Li’s poison has already been solved.”
”What?”
A Xia froze for a long time and then angrily roared, ”You want to trick me? It’s not that easy. How could a mere Jindan Stage cultivator like you be able to solve my Devouring Heart Rotting Bone Poison? You…”
While speaking, his tiger face looked down and saw Zen Master Dog Meat stood side by side with a baldy. From them came out soft zen light that shrouded Liu Li. The girl was seriously injured, and his countenance paled. However, the pitch black color that was the manifestation of the Devouring Heart Rotting Bone Poison was nowhere to be seen. It seemed like the poison has actually been solved...
”Impossible!?”
A Xia’s eyes almost popped out of their socket. The poisoned dagger that was in cat girl Ling Yan’s hand was an antique that he managed to get after having an extremely rare immortal chance many years ago. It was an ancient dagger that was full of thousands of years of history. Though the potency of the poison has been reduced a lot from its peak, it was still strong in the strange poison department, completely different than the current common poisons in the Nine Regions. Even the kind of sect like the Ten Thousand Poison School and the like would find it difficult to solve the poison… She was just an unknown Zen Master, how could she possibly solve it!?
In A Xia’s deduction, w.a.n.g Lu’s only way to life was to activate the heavenly talisman and immediately bring everyone back to the Spirit Sword Mountain and let the Elders there suppress the poison. However, after activating the heavenly talisman, only w.a.n.g Lu, Liu Li, and Quan Zouhua could leave. But immortal beast moon spirit and Zen Master Dog Meat could not, because they haven’t left their mark on the talisman, thus it could not include them in the transmission. By then, even if he couldn’t catch w.a.n.g Lu, he could still catch the left behind moon spirit.
But now that his biggest trump card had unexpectedly failed, one could imagine the shock on A Xia because of this.
”You want to know why? Very simple. It’s not that you underestimated Xiao Qi’s ability to neutralize the poison, but you misjudged Liu Li’s poison resistance.”
Because his mood had relaxed, w.a.n.g Lu continued to explain several more sentences.
”It was wise of you to not set me as the target, but although the dagger is a spiritual thing, it’s still an inanimate object. Although the poison is fierce, it’s not imbued with power. Even if the target is me, my own poison resistance can remove most of the poison. Though in theory, Liu Li’s Brilliant Sword Heart clear physique has near zero poison resistance, and once poisoned it would cause even the Sect Leader a headache, however, although there are too many weaknesses in her body, that doesn’t include poison resistance.”
Speaking to this, w.a.n.g Lu could not help but chuckle. ”That fool is naturally gluttonous. Whenever she sees something new, she immediately wants to stuff it into her mouth; she doesn’t even bother if it’s dangerous. Moreover, she was completely without memory for this kind of thing. In the mountain, that peaceful place, she repeatedly suffered food poisoning. Therefore, the elders have no choice but to let her consume their detoxifying pills to prevent her from dying prematurely. When she went down the mountain for experiential learning a few years ago, her experiential learning report was basically her food diary, which sent his master into a rage. However, behind this diary, she had tasted bitterness from countless types of poison in the dozens of countries in the Blue River Region. One of the entries in her diary read: Today I eat sweet tofu and meat dumpling, feels uncomfortable… Can you tell me how much crisis and pain that were hidden behind it? Surviving in this kind of experiential learning, how high do you think her poison resistance is?”
He paused and mockingly looked at A Xia’s ashen face.
”Therefore, using poison to deal with Liu Li is tantamount to suicide.”
Before his voice even fell, he heard the anxious and irritated voice of Xiao Qi urging him, ”Don’t just waste time there. Though her poison has already been eliminated, the poison’s instantaneous attack has caused damage that could not be offset, so her situation is still critical. I can only manage to suppress it from deteriorating; her life is not out of danger yet. Finish what you’re doing there and get back here to help me!”
”I know.”
With that, w.a.n.g Lu retracted his fist and drew out his Sword of Mount Kun. His cold eyes firmly locked at A Xia.
”Enough chit-chat, it’s time to send you on your way.”
