Chapter 326: Divine Seaward Iron (1/2)
“A Poison Fiend! And why’s it such a powerful one?!” the dao immortal screamed in abject terror as the fiend’s potent poison assaulted his body, his end looming as dark green blood oozed out of all of his orifices. Even the surrounding waters became a pond of poison.
Nine dark gold dao fruits bust out of his body in flashes of aureate light, making a desperate escape.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Three of them exploded, due to the poison’s corruption, while the remaining six simply faded away after a violent tremor.
A dao immortal’s nascent spirit was entrusted to the confines of their dao fruit. As long as their dao fruit remained, the immortal’s spirit would as well. Even if their body died, they could just manifest a new one.
With three of the dao fruit destroyed, though, the peak aether dao immortal’s cultivation had instantly dropped several minor realms. It wouldn’t be difficult to continue cultivating, but it would be next to impossible for him to pick another dao fruit.
……
“Pity. He fled faster than a rabbit.” Su Xiaoxiao emerged and cast a regretful look at the monster spirit.
The aether dao immortal had been far more cautious than Xue Daozi. Even though the escaped quarry was a renowned elite in the North Sea, one who’d enjoyed his reputation for a long time, he’d abandoned his body and made a speedy escape as soon as he felt the situation take a turn for the worse.
Still, Su Xiaoxiao had only been a golden immortal in the ancient times, and was only a peerless immortal now. It was a great enough feat for her to successfully ambush a dao immortal.
……
“A Poison Fiend!” Seeing a Poison Fiend by Su Xiaoxiao’s side alarmed the two remaining dao immortals and the peerless immortals.
“Are you from the Five Poisons Sect of Mist Land?” Sweat broke out on their brows and became part of the sea water.
The Five Poisons Sect of Mist Land was the greatest poison sect in the world of immortals. Lu Yun’s Infernum, Lü Guhong, was a disciple of the sect.
“The Five Poisons Sect? I suppose. Stay here and don’t go anywhere, or I’ll have the Poison Fiend detonate itself and destroy this palace,” Su Xiaoxiao giggled. “As you can see, my Poison Fiend can destroy even aether dao fruits. You two may be able to escape, but all your lesser soldiers will be killed.”
The two dao immortals exchanged a look and shook their heads in unison. Great power gathered in them as they enveloped their bodies with inner energy, isolating themselves from the poison outside.
They kept fixed stares on Su Xiaoxiao. As soon as she showed even the barest hint of an opening, they would launch a powerful, lightning-fast blow and strike down the charming, but unnaturally terrifying girl.
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t as relaxed as she pretended to be, either. She was a capable fighter, but she was far from the two peak aether dao immortals’ level. Her real expertise lay in poison, rather than head-on fights. Crippling a dao immortal in a sneak attack was the most she could do.
They were locked in a stalemate, and neither party dared make a reckless move.
“Now, where did I put my Far-Reaching Captivating Fragrance?” Su Xiaoxiao diverted some attention to rummaging around in her seed storage. She might seem conscientious and meticulous, but her seed storage was a mess of ingredients, poisons, and medicines, all mixed up together. Even she didn’t remember where she’d stored the poison she wanted.
