Chapter: 666 (2/2)
………
The audience began to make a loud clamor as they all talked about the battle profusely. As expected, every words of praise would always be directed to the winners. If Qing Shui was the one who lost and ended up dead, the audience would definitely scorn Qing Shui about his arrogance, ignorance, lack of self-knowledge, and how big of a meathead he was….
“Sect Master, what should we do next?” an old man asked the man clad in black clothes.
“Send Qianxi Lang, Sima Ye, and Guan Jiu to the arena.” the man commanded in a calm tone.
“Yes, sir!”
“Sect Master, if you send out the only two Grade Ten Martial Saints from Sima Clan and Guan Clan respectively, and they happen to die in the next battle, then isn’t this……” said another old man beside the Sect Master as he frowned.
“Second brother, it will be a good thing if they die. Those clans have become more insolent as the years passed by, thinking that they are invincible just by having a bit of capital. Do you really think Qianxi Clan is stronger than the other two? I will leave fate to decide whether they get to live or die. But it will make everything better if they all die, especially that Guan Jiu. His future is very promising, but this kind of man is not worth keeping around. Otherwise, he will most definitely become Qianxi Clan’s greatest enemy in the future.” the man calmly explained to his little brother. His voice was emotionless yet leveled.
“But Qianxi Lang is the heart and soul of Qianxi Clan. Are you going to sacrifice him just like that?”
“Battling in honor of the family is a normal thing to do. If he dies a horrible death, then his family will avenge him. Moreover, Qianxi Lang currently has 6500 countries of strength, and the other two have about 6000 countries of strength respectively. This is a bit more than Qianxi Yong’s strength. They might even win this battle, who knows.” said the third brother of the Sect Master.
Swiftly, the three representatives from Qianxi Clan, Sima Clan, and Guan Clan flew up into the air. The leader of the three was an elderly man clad in black garment. He had a cold expression on his face and his gaze was as ferocious as lightning.
The black garment was the official clan uniform of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. One of the other two old men was the one Qing Shui and Di Chen saw in the mansion given by Di Clan. This old man who stood right next to the Qianxi elder was Sima Ye from Sima Clan.
Guan Jiu, on the other hand, seemed like the youngest among the three old fellows. He had a clean look and was dressed nicely. The fine clothes that he wore made him look a few year younger, which gave an impression that he was a vigorous and energetic man.
Qing Shui quickly sensed his opponents’ powers, but laughed when he realized their approximate strength. He only needed to be cautious about his opponents’ poison techniques. Qing Shui also didn’t feel threatened by Qianxi Lang, who had 6500 countries of strength, despite only possessing barely 4000 countries of strength himself.
“Young man, I have underestimated you.” Sima Ye frowned as he spoke to Qing Shui.
“You know what they say, ‘Those with bad intentions will always get their retributions’.” Qing Shui smiled at Sima Ye.
“I don’t believe in that, I only believe in power. Power will decide everything. As long as I have the power, I can kill you easily. I don’t care about bad intentions or retributions.” Sima Ye shook his head.
At that moment, the old man clad in black garments took out his weapon.
Psychotic Demon Scythe!
Qing Shui then noticed a set of armor beneath the black garments he wore, the armor was dark and black as well. The old man abruptly howled, revealing two 3 meter long green snakes the thickness of a baby’s arm on both on his arms.
Poisonous Jade Green Snakes!
Qing Shui frowned when he saw those snakes because he knew from his knowledge of the [Poison Scripture] that these snakes were more venomous than any other ordinary poisonous beings.
These snakes specialized in instantaneous attacks while being extremely agile within a short distance. Its teeth may be tiny, but they were sharp and were the most dangerous part of its body. The dangerous aspect lied in its poison – the poison from its teeth could corrode anything it touched. Besides harboring an extremely toxic poison in its teeth, the snake could also attack its opponent by spitting out a pool of poisonous substance. As mentioned before, the snake possessed a speed as fast as lightning, which was why it was considered one of the most dangerous and agile poisonous beast in the world. Although it possessed strength that reached the border of Martial King, it could become a bigger threat by attaching itself to a more powerful being, thus achieving the effect akin to giving a tiger wings.
Qianxi Lang wasn’t done yet as he let out another howl. A small blood-red colored wolf instantly appeared at his side. The wolf was about a meter in size and its fur seemed like a set of blood-red armor attached to its body. Its gloomy green eyes which contrasted with its blood-red fur were terrifying as well. It was quite small, yet possessed an aura that screamed danger and power.
It was a Phantom Fire Wolf!
This was another poison beast he had seen in the [Poison Scripture]. Despite its small physique, the wolf possessed the strength of a Peak Martial King. It has a noteworthy speed and specialized in poisonous fire attack.
The wolf would attack using its phantom fire, which was also known as the ‘Green Fire’ or the ‘Poisonous Fire’. The flame had a strong corrosive ability that could dissolve anything in its way. The one meter long Phantom Fire Wolf wasn’t to be underestimated. Even other Grade One or Grade Two Martial Saint demonic beasts wouldn’t dare to provoke this Peak Martial King demonic beast at any cost.
This Phantom Fire Wolf was a terrifying enemy to those less agile Martial Saints. A lot of poisonous beings in the World of the Nine Continents depended on their speed and poison to remain invincible, thus having a speed at a certain level would sometimes be more important than having a powerful strength. It was also the hardest to improve one’s agility the same way one would improve their strength or defense.
Qianxi Lang’s poison beast’s main ability was the ever dangerous corrosive poison!
Qing Shui took out an Agility-Enhancing Fruit, which he had already given to the others beforehand, including Old Madam Mo and Di Xuan. Even though the effect of boosting one’s agility was a temporary one, he would be able to increase his speed by 50% for a span of 15 minutes, which was ample time to finish the next battle.
