“What!” The four teams were all shocked at the sight of the battle unfolding before their very eyes. It was too fast! A short while ago, they still thought Xue Ying was unable to handle Lord You Lan, but the situation had changed so quickly! The Xia Clan had decided they would rather pay the hefty price required to have Battleship D9 strike again, and then Xue Ying’s frightening spear attack followed right after. Lord You Lan managed to dodge the first attack, but he failed to avoid the second.

“He won’t die, right?” Everyone stared in rapt attention; Lord You Lan was a Demigod with power comparable to the Deity realm. Could he die just like that?

Inside Battleship D9, the Xia Clan Transcendents watched with trepidation.

…

“No!” Lord You Lan felt waves caused by the Profound Mystery of Destruction blasting through him, wrecking his demonic body in the process. In but an instant, his skull was smashed into oblivion.

Even so, the attack had barely managed to destroy the skull alone; the rest of the black-skinned body below the neck remained in good condition!

What was left of his figure immediately fell back into an explosive retreat!

As he moved backwards, Lord You Lan’s body quickly grew a new skull from the stump of his neck. His demonic body was even more formidable than General Ku Meng’s, and if it were to expand, it would reach upwards a terrifying height of a hundred fifty kilometers! This meant his arm alone could easily reach a length of over five kilometers. By comparison, such a body was genuinely close to that of the great Demonic God!

But his skull was nonetheless completely crushed after a single strike!

With attacks like this, my Demonic Body will be obliterated in less than ten strikes. Having survived the calamity, a wave of dread still lingered in Lord You Lan’s heart. The newly grown head’s face displayed a pale complexion.

He felt it.

Some mysterious sort of poison was spreading rapidly through his body. Not even his fierceful body comparable to that of a Demonic God was capable of hindering the spread of this poison. It pervaded and corroded every part of him, even reaching down to the depths of his Devil Sea, where he cultivated dark magic power. There, the poison continued all the same and even began to affect the revolving of his Devil Sea.

Soon, this poison, which permeated everything down to a fundamental particle level, spread through his brain.

Aaaaaah! A terrible pain overcame him, the sort of which Lord You Lan had never felt before. Throughout his life in the Dark Abyss, he had experienced and fought through countless dangers, yet a pain of this intensity caught even him unprepared.

It was the sort of pain which transcended the physical body, causing even the spirit to tremble.

“AAAAHHH!” In his pain, Lord You Lan bellowed a roar of rage. His complexion was sinister, and he seemed to have turned mad.

“It’s a Hexing Poison, Six Ghosts Resentment!” Lord You Lan’s roar was filled with boundless hatred and killing intent. His voice reverberated throughout the heavens and over the earth.

“What?!”

The four teams, as well as the Xia Clan Transcendents who were watching the battle from within Battleship D9, were shocked at this sight! They had all heard Lord You Lan’s roar of pain and grudging roar and witnessed the pain he felt!

“So it was the Six Ghosts Resentment Poison.”

“Yes. He must be Dong Bo Xue Ying then. His body is already inflicted with the hexing poison, so he must have been planning from the start to smear some of it on his weapon to use in the midst of battle. He is certainly vicious.”

“I pity Lord You Lan. Being poisoned with the Six Ghosts Resentment? From what I’ve heard, that hexing poison is unbearably painful.”

“So ruthless. He really has no mercy.”

Every member of the four teams sympathized with Lord You Lan to some degree, due to his strength. He had dared to threaten the Xia Clan with his time-decelerating True Meaning, and he might have even succeeded, had his luck not been so poor. But the Xia Clan sent out Xue Ying, whose incredible talent had sent Lord You Lan into dire straits.

…

In spite of the incomparable pain, Lord You Lan’s heart was calm, for he knew he was in a life-or-death situation!

This Six Ghosts Resentment…is just a diluted version which had accumulated in his blood. It’s already much weaker than the original. It might be a powerful hexing poison, but I can resist it with the regeneration ability of my Demonic Body. The only thing I find rather troublesome is that it’s already entered my internal Devil Sea, which means that I’ll only be able to cultivate with half efficiency now, Lord You Lan determined.

This was normal.

Even the Six Ghosts Resentment Xue Ying was inflicted with was not the true original, but a version with only half the original strength which was carried by the Sorcerer God’s sword.

Back when Xue Ying was first struck by the sword, his body’s recovery ability was sufficient to fight off the damage caused by the poison. The successive strike following that attack was what really caused the end result.

While every part of Xue Ying’s body now contained Six Ghosts Resentment, it was just a diluted version, weaker even that the Sorcerer God’s Sword by a whole level.

After all, it would be impossible that some blood which was afflicted with Six Ghosts Resentment, upon being taken outside the body, would be identical to the original Six Ghosts Resentment. Otherwise, one could simply make an infinite amount of the poison! It was simply not possible.

As such, the hexing poison within Xue Ying’s blood was weaker than the poison coating the Sorcerer God’s Sword by a grade.

After the poison entered his Demonic Body, Lord You Lan was easily able resist its corrosive power. His cultivation speed of Dark Magic Power was affected, but that was the extent of the damage. But the most important thing was…that the poison still caused pain!

This hexing poison is greatly weakened, but it’s still too painful! I don’t have to spare much effort to keep my calm, but at this rate, I might easily get afflicted with more of it as I keep fighting Xue Ying! Lord You Lan’s willpower was strong, but compared to Xue Ying’s, who had suffered every day and night for a hundred years, his was still down a notch.

Thankfully, the hexing poison was just a diluted form, so he could keep fighting.

I have to escape!

I can’t keep going like this; I can’t even hold an absolute focus right now! Suffering from this hellish torment, Lord You Lan’s expression turned fierce. A thought crossed his mind, and he instantly made his decision.

Without even a hint of hesitation in his movements, Lord You Lan summoned a blood-colored scroll in his hand.
