Chapter 143: A Miracle (1/2)

It didn't take long before my Qi Cores became agitated as well. All four of them, who happened to be unaffected by the Death Layer Poison, were now acting strongly against the Scorch Poison. I have no idea how Zeng Meihui managed to affect me with poison but now I realized she just happened to get lucky. Who would've thought that I would be affected by poisons that affect physicality.

Or maybe, this poison is just special. After all, the Death Layer Poison also affects the body, but maybe it was more focused on the effect rather than the deterioration of the body. There's also the idea that maybe, the constitution of a rabid human is only unaffected by high-level poisons... and lower-leveled poisons work effectively against them.

If that's the case, then I'm in big trouble right now. Even though I avoided using my Blood Element Skills, I think that not using them right now would result in my demise whether I like it or not.

<Virus Control activated>

<Notice: There's an unknown poison in your body, would you like the System to get rid of it?>

<Yes/No>

I didn't think twice about choosing yes. But before I did, I felt a certain coldness overwhelm my body. When I glanced at Zeng Meihui, I realized that she shot a mysterious cyan-colored liquid towards me— the Deep Freeze Poison.

A mouthful of blood came out of my lips as I knelt to the ground. Not only did I feel a certain heat developing in my body, but I could also feel a certain coldness enveloping my heart and spreading all throughout my body. I tried to breathe but instead of air, a hazy fog came out of my mouth. Just like when someone exhales in the middle of winter, my mouth continuously released white smoke.

From my lungs, I could feel a cough trying to come out. However, no matter how hard I tried, nothing could be released from my lungs. After just five seconds, I felt like my lungs were totally frozen and I couldn't breathe.

”Yong Rui... are you oka— no! Do you surrender now? If you surrender now, I will gladly give you the antidote to the poison. What do you say?” Zeng Meihui voiced out but I could tell that she was totally not confident about what she said.

When I stared into her eyes, she tried to look sideways, trying hard not to show that she was lying. Even the audience, who were cheering so loudly until just recently, suddenly became quiet as if a funeral suddenly appeared in front of them. They were all so deathly silent that for a moment, I thought that they left.

Even Shen Rong and the other commentators, who were supposed to give everyone their inputs about the match, became as quiet as a mouse as well. And for the next minute, no one dared to talk.

Figures, of course, they won't talk that much. After all, it's only a matter of time before they witness the death of a talented cultivator in front of them.

I probably haven't mentioned this before but there's also a certain function to the Scorch Poison and Deep Freeze Poison combination. First, the Scorch Poison could only be cured by Deep Freeze Poison and vice versa. But! There's also a chance that trying to cure one with the other would cause the poison to worsen. And the catalyst for such occurrence is when the one giving the second poison would choose the poisoned individual to die or not.

In other words, it all depends on whether Zeng Meihui wanted me to die or not. I'm guessing she probably didn't want me to die but something in her heart made the poison act the opposite. And right now, instead of curing me, she made the poison irreversible.

And yes, just in case you still don't know, if the Scorch Poison and Deep Freeze Poison are combined with each other and the poison was doubled... then the poison is incurable. Nothing can cure it anymore.

Just like what I said before, it's only a matter of time before I die... at least, that's what I think is going to happen.

The freezing feeling finally reached my neck and the heat on my palms and soles were already burning my appendages. I felt like my arms and legs were being bathed in lava while my main body is being frozen in a freezer. It felt weird... and dying like this would sure feel even more painful. I mean, my pain tolerance is already high enough but it was still too painful for me.

Before I knew it, I already fell on the ground, writhing in pain, as blackish blood continuously escaped my mouth. Once again, I tried to activate my Blood Element Skills in hopes that it would help. However, it didn't do a single thing for me when I activated it previously. I don't think my skills would work the second time.

Second time's a charm, right? Right?

I'm running out of time.
