Chapter 908 - Blood Drenched Mountain Trail (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu poison cannot actually be considered a poison art, but in World of Martial Arts, it was treated by many players and NPCs alike as a poison art that was incredibly profound.

The goal for normal poison arts was to poison a person and make him or her die.

But this sort of poison cannot break away from this law: all manner of things in the world countered each other in relation to the five elements.

Poison was also very dangerous to the user itself, but it was different for Gu poison. It placed a larger emphasis on the user’s understanding and control over Gu poison.

It can allow the user to easily manipulate his or her enemies and toy with them.

Normal Gu poison can make a person suffer from headaches and fevers, causing them to experience discomfort all over the body. Powerful Gu poisons will be like Purple Heart Gu Poison, which the mysterious cloaked woman released by unleashing a whole swarm of worms containing the Gu poison, and through the air, she can spread the children of the worm producing the Gu poison into the air. Once the target sucked the children into their bodies, they will swiftly turn into terrifying poisonous creatures, and the damage was incredibly shocking, fierce, and swift.

However, if the damage from the Gu poison was great, it will be very difficult for the caster to control it. They can only allow the worms containing the Gu poison to recognize the parent body, and there was no way to heal someone afflicted with Gu poison.

Happy’s method of freeing Xu Xin from the Gu poison was something that multiple elites in his previous life came up with after they pooled their experiences together. His prompt decision had managed to let Xu Xin escape from the disaster.

Originally, Happy was prepared to tear apart the caster, but when he saw the caster’s wretched face under the cloak, he suddenly sucked in a sharp breath and held his breath before he stopped his Dragon Saber from touching the caster’s neck. His killing intent calmed down, for some strange reason.

“You’re not from Class One Hall.”

Class One Hall’s emblem was not on her chest, and there was no form of persistence or killing intent on her. In fact, hidden under that disgusting presence was a gentle and tranquil air that will cause a person to cast her a sidelong glance. There was no way Happy can attack a person like this.

Besides, a woman will usually pay great attention to their appearances. No woman will be willing to take the initiative to practice the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison, which was something only men were willing to practice in Happy’s previous life.

The girl in front of him did not seem like someone who had a crazed personality.

The mysterious cloaked girl said nothing. She stood outside the pavilion quietly and remained inside Happy’s attack range while she stared at Happy in surprise after he stopped his attack. After a few seconds, she nodded, but shook her head immediately after before she answered, “I’m not from Class One Hall, but I’m Dream Clouds’ younger sister.”

“Blood related sister?” Happy frowned.

The mysterious cloaked girl did not answer that question. “If Purple Heart Gu Poison is useless against you, then the other Gu poisons I have will not be able to invade your body as well. I can’t complete the mission my sister gave me. Please, kill me.”

She did not even cast a glance at Xu Xin.

Even though Purple Heart Gu Poison was incredibly fatal to a normal person, the mission Dream Clouds gave her was to kill her, not a woman unrelated to this entire thing.

“She asked her own younger sister to practice this evil art and create your personal Gu poison. This sort of woman… is not worthy of you calling her your sister. She is just someone who will do everything for her own goals. What a twisted personality.”

Happy said those words with his qi, and everyone could hear it clearly.

In an instant, the crowd burst into commotion.

Even the people in Class One Hall’s lineup were stirred up slightly. Quite a number of people snuck glances at Dream Clouds to watch how she would react.

Although Dream Clouds did not lose her composure, her red face still showed that she was livid. ‘Sister, why aren’t you attacking?! What are you still waiting for?! Kill Happy and his woman!”

The underlying meaning was that she was giving an order to the mysterious cloaked woman to poison and kill Xu Xin.

When she heard Dream Clouds’ order, the mysterious cloaked girl looked at Happy in a troubled manner. “If you don’t attack me, she will really die.”

As she spoke, she caressed the goblet containing the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison in her hands.

Happy said nothing, he just closed his eyes and sighed.

The mysterious cloaked girl seemed to have noticed what was about to happen. She paused in her movements, closed her eyes, and waited for the moment to arrive. There was some degree of relief and satisfaction in her movements.

“Tremble!”

With one remote Wandering Souls Palm, Happy used hidden force to strike the mysterious cloaked woman, who did not put on any form of resistance. He faced no resistance when he crushed her heart meridian, and he gave her the fastest and most dignified death.

At that moment, Happy finally knew the girl’s name.

Jade Vine.

It was a normal but very gentle name.

As he watched Jade Vine fall limply to the ground, Happy suddenly remembered that moment in his previous life.

When he was surrounded by multiple Class One Hall elites, he lost his reasoning in his anger, and he charged out of Guanlin Temple again and again.

His consciousness was destroyed repeatedly, and he could see his corpse lying on the ground in a miserable state outside the reincarnation hall.

Even though Jade Vine’s situation was different from him, she was also betrayed by a person she trusted and was close to her. She also suffered through a tragic fate, and she must also feel resigned to it when she found that she cannot control her own fate at this moment.

When he thought of this, Happy cannot help but feel his mind wandering.

Then, he felt a warm hand holding his hand tightly. Happy turned his head around, and he saw Xu Xin’s worried gaze. He sighed in relief before he patted the back of her hand to comfort her. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

*****

“That piece of trash!”

When Jade Vine died in battle, Dream Clouds also felt enraged, as if she was betrayed. She also felt a chill through her entire body.

She was indeed the one who made arrangements for Jade Vine in what path she should take in the game.

To obtain the title of the disciple of the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison users, Dream Clouds made her own sister, who was the only person who passed through the test of having ten thousand poisons penetrate her body, to withstand the fate of having Gu poison worms enter her body, and those Gu poison worms were the most diabolical of worms—Evil Origin Gu Poison Worms. They can increase the survival time and damage for Gu poison worms by thirty percent.
