Chapter 405: Severed Arm
Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
At the very instant when Mu Chen’s finger had turned jet-black, Wu Dong seemed to have also discovered it, causing a unconcealable chill to suddenly flood through his mind. As cold sweat erupted from him, drenching his entire body, the senses that he had honed for all the years of training and cultivation had caused him to feel a sensation of life-threatening unease at this moment.
Therefore, he had halted the punch he was about to send out seemingly at that instant. The strong gales caused by his sudden reversal caused the Spiritual Energy in his body to churn and slosh around. Nevertheless, not caring a damn about this, he forced himself to retreat as fast as he could.
“Isn’t it a bit too late to walk away now?”
However, the instant when he had stepped back, Mu Chen’s cold and frosty voice rang out like maggots in one’s tarsus. The handsome face of the youth was now engulfed in chilling intent. Taking a step out, a giant dragon shadow seemed to surface at the bottom of his feet. Carrying him on its back, his step forward caused him to appear as if he was piercing through space.
Like a spectre, he appeared right before the retreating Wu Dong, that black fingertip shooting towards the throat of the latter at lightning speed.
That jet-black finger appeared akin to the sickle of the grim reaper, radiating with a dense aura of death.
His speed was too quick, too the point that Wu Dong was unable to react in time, only managing to send a rebounding arm to shield in front of his body, while erupting his Spiritual Energy out in defense.
Chi!
The jet-black finger pierced through. As the boundless Spiritual Energy defense came into contact with the jet-black finger, crackling sounds immediately erupted from it, before started to dissolve away. Like an incomparably sharp dagger, Mu Chen’s fingertip pierced straight into Wu Dong’s arm like a bolt of lightning.
As the fingertip pierced through, it brought along a spray of fresh blood.
As Wu Dong’s figure miserably retreated back, he was incomparably shocked to see his arm turning jet black at an astonishing speed. At this moment, a black colour started to crazily extending across his body.
This was a frightening poison!
Overwhelmed with shock, Wu Dong hastily tried to circulate his Spiritual Energy in an attempt to force the poison out from his body. However, as his Spiritual Energy made contact with the black poison, Wu Dong discovered, to his horror, that the Spiritual Energy in his body was unexpected being corroded by the poison at a rapid pace! That Spiritual Energy had unexpectedly turned into a highly toxic poison at this moment!
He was completely unable to force it out!
Such overbearing poison!
At this moment, Wu Dong’s face turned deathly pale as he thought, What kind of poison is this? ! It’s actually so overbearing! Even Spiritual Energy will get contaminated by it!
As the black-coloured poison lines started to rapidly extend, Wu Dong’s eyes turned bloodshot. In the next moment, with a furious clench of his teeth, he turned his hand into a blade. As Spiritual Energy surged out, he gave a vicious chop down at the base of his arm, violently slashing down.
“AAAHHH!”
A fierce shriek rang out of Wu Dong’s mouth as the arm, having already turned jet-black, detached from his body and flew down from the sky, spurting out blood that had already turned jet-black. As it left his body, the cut off arm rapidly rotted away, turning into black-coloured ashes in a short span of a few breaths, before scattering apart.
Retreating in an extremely miserable fashion, Wu Dong’s face appeared deathly-pale, with his forehead dripping with sweat. At this moment, the gaze shooting towards Mu Chen had turned into one of incomparable dread and terror. That poison’s too terrifying!
Seeing this, a slight frown appeared on Mu Chen’s forehead. It was extremely hard for him to grasp the opportunity to display his “Black Lightning Poison Finger”. He never imagined that Wu Dong would be that decisive to actually chop his arm off upon discovering the inability to dispel the overbearing poisonous aura.
“One more time!”
With a cold and detached smile on his face, Mu Chen’s figure shot out once again. Seeing this, Wu Dong was terror-stricken, turning stiff with fear, no longer daring to take action against Mu Chen anymore. Turning around, he became an extremely sorry figure as he fled away. A roar filled with fury and anger rang out along with the spatial gales in the sky, “For the enmity of my arm, I’ll definitely take my revenge, Mu Chen!”
Looking at the figure of Wu Dong fleeing in horror, a faint smile appeared on Mu Chen’s face, before the jet-black finger started to slowly regain its original colour. With every use, that “Black Lightning Poison Finger” would decreasing in toxicity. Therefore, he couldn’t just use it in any normal occasion, and left it as a hidden ace. If he didn’t need to chase that Wu Dong away as fast as possible, he wouldn’t have used it at all. However, he never imagined that this “Black Lightning Poison Finger” would actually be that overbearing. Just a single touch was enough to waste away an entire arm of Wu Dong’s.
He never proceeded to chase after the fleeing Wu Dong. Although he had completely trashed the latter, the current him had a more important matter to attend to.
Turning his body around, he looked towards the depths of the tornado. In the next moment, his figure explosively shot towards it. Now, he needed to grasp the best timing to obtain that Spiritual Treasure!
As Wu Dong fled away, the various experts below could faintly hear the furious roars of the former ringing out from the tornado. Hearing those angry roars, their expressions slightly changed. Nevertheless, due to the obstruction of the storm, they were able to determine exactly what had appeared during that moment.
The faint smile originally present on Liu Ying’s face started to slowly turn dark. Clearly, he had felt that something was not quite right.
Whoosh!
