Chapter 139: Poison Centipede

Su Chen charged forward the moment the voice reached his ears, his speed reaching the extreme. He turned around to face the new opponent without slowing down, now flying backwards. At the same time, he struck out with eighteen palm strikes.

The palm wind from the strikes sounded out like thunder as they flew through the air.

That black cloud was forcefully stopped by Su Chen’s palm wind; it couldn’t get close to him at all.

This was the benefit of a contemporary Origin Skill. Although the Thunder Blade didn’t possess much strength, it could be used both offensively and defensively. As the palm wind surged forwards, it sounded out like thunder, preventing the black cloud from advancing.

Su Chen took the opportunity to apply a magic barrier to himself before looking at the person who ambushed him.

Facing him was a youth dressed in green, a dense, black Qi swirling around his face. His gaze was filled with shock. “You actually dodged my Five Poisons Miasma? You do have some ability.”

Pan Yue took this opportunity to stand up. Moments before, he was bitterly pleading for mercy, but now a thick killing intent showed on his face. “You dare disrespect me like that? I cannot spare you. Die!”

Pan Yue stabbed with his sword toward Su Chen.

When the youth in green saw this scene, he curled his lips. “Idiot.”

Although this sword strike was vicious, Pan Yue couldn’t move freely with his injured legs. He possessed the killing intent, but lacked the skill or strength to carry it out. Su Chen casually sidestepped, dodging the sword strike. At the same time, he slammed his knee into Pan Yue’s midsection. Su Chen didn’t even need to use his fists to throw Pan Yue back to the ground. In fact, he didn’t even spare Pan Yue so much as a glance, his eyes locked on the green-clothed youth instead.

“Bastard!” Pan Yue gritted his teeth as he tried to crawl to his feet. Before he stood up, however, he was greeted by another flying kick was aimed, this time hitting him in the head.

Su Chen put real force behind this kick. Even if Pan Yue didn’t die, he would be gravely injured.

The moment the kick landed on Pan Yue’s head, the green clothed person suddenly gestured. A streak of black light shot toward Su Chen. “I didn’t permit you to kill him, yet you think you can?”

Su Chen twisted his body and dodged the attack. The green-clothed youth already arrived in front of Pan Yue, sending him flying away with a kick. “Get out of here! What are you trying to do, get yourself killed?”

While he spoke to Pan Yue, his hands rapidly moved in the air, transforming into a thousand streaks of palm wind. These streaks of palm wind which smelled strongly and were poisonous shot toward Su Chen.

He didn’t receive his nickname, Poison Centipede, from his bloodline, but because of his proficiency in this palm technique which made it seem he had a thousand hands and feet. On top of that, he possessed extremely poisonous hands, making the skill all the more deadly..

The poison palms forced Su Chen to retreat.

Pan Yue ad been removed from the battle after being kicked away by Kong Shen. He glared at Su Chen with a poisonous, hateful expression, then threw a glance at Kong Shen. He knew he couldn’t participate in this battle anymore. Instead, he turned tail and fled.

Seeing Pan Yue’s injured figure limp away, Su Chen didn’t get angry. A laugh escaped his mouth, and he said, “You really think he’ll remember what you did for him? You kicked him away. From his expression, it seems he resents you as well. There’s always people who don’t understand how to be grateful.”

Kong Shen laughed wickedly. “Do you really think I can’t see kind of trash he is? I don’t need any of his gratefulness. All I need is for him to be an obedient puppet.”

“You really think he’ll listen to you?”

“You thought I just randomly kicked him away? He is poisoned now!” Kong Shen said with delight. “But enough about him, how about you, don’t you hate me? After all, I was the one who ruined your plan of killing him.”

Su Chen casually replied, “You already said you helped me poison him. Why would I care?”

Kong Shen laughed, “The poison won’t be fatal. It merely prevents him from using Origin Energy, and it leaves behind a distinct scent, making it easy for me to chase after him. How about it? Disappointed?”.

“I already thought I smelled something strange in the air,” Su Chen said. “Since that’s the case, I only have to kill you and then follow the scent to track him down, right? Haha, now I care even less.”

The two never stopped exchanging blows during their conversation. An onlooker might confuse them for two bickering boys, but in reality, their strikes were aimed at the heart.

Both of them were trying to light the flames of rage in their opponent to disturb their state of mind. Su Chen did so by calling Pan Yue ungrateful, while Kong Shen mocked Su Chen for having failed to kill Pan Yue before he turned tail and fled. However, neither side succeeded. They had found their equal, both in terms of strength and wit.
