As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1144
Chapter 1144 Detoxification
Gui Yunshan raised his palm and a crack appeared in the void. It suddenly enveloped Tibetan Wind Cloud.
“Be careful …”
At this moment, Ghost Saint Feng Jingyun instantly flew over. His hands formed a strange seal, and a black light flew out. “Boom!” The black light cancelled out the spatial crack in Gui Yunshan. The strange energy from both sides trembled violently for miles around.
“This is …”
Blood Saint Bu Liuxing and Frost Saint Qianshan Xue were both stunned. Could this shadow in front of them be … a dead soul? But he actually has the strength of a Pseudo-Sage Level 6 or above …
“Gui Yunshan?”
Feng Jingyun’s eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be that Gui Yunshan from back then had actually become … a dead soul? Could it be …
At this moment, he had already thought of something. When he looked at Xiao Chen again, there was a look of surprise in his eyes. That year, Gui Yunshan had actually died at his hands …
“You will be next.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold, and his voice was even colder than ice. “Gui Yunshan, kill him!” He didn’t have anything to say to this Ghost Saint Feng Jingyun, much less show mercy.
“Gui Yunshan … Roger that.” At this moment, Gui Yunshan’s entire body surged with murderous aura, causing a dead silence within a few miles of him.
“Demonic Cry, Nine Transformations!”
With a loud shout, the surging baleful aura gathered within a radius of a hundred feet, instantly transforming into countless ghosts that roared with tears as they pounced towards Feng Jingyun and the others. The scene was endlessly terrifying.
“Back off.”
Feng Jingyun instantly reacted. He quickly formed a seal with both of his hands. Several streaks of black light flew up from his body, forming a powerful barrier in an instant. With a “rumble”, the layers of ghosts around Gui Yunshan were completely blocked out.
The nearby cold wind whispered. The atmosphere was tense. Feng Jingyun stared at Xiao Chen in the distance. At this moment, he looked at him differently. He said gloomily, “To be able to imprison the dead soul of such an expert is formidable … Unfortunately, you can’t go to the ninth level of the heavens.”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and the barrier immediately turned into a strange mist, disappearing into the void with him, Hidden Wind Cloud, and the others behind him.
The surroundings finally regained their calm. Only the cold wind blew past, causing dust to rise all over the ground. Several of the surrounding mountains were destroyed by the battle just now.
However, this radius of several dozen kilometers was only a drop in the ocean for the entire Feng Yuntian. Even if it was destroyed, it would not have any impact.
“Uh …”
Suddenly, Qianyu Nichang let out a muffled snort, and her complexion turned even paler. Poison Saint Tsang Feng Yun’s poison was extremely powerful. Unless Medicine Saint Shui Hanyan and Medicine Saint Bu Yundian were here at the same time, it would be difficult for her to cure the poison even if she was at the Three Flowers Gathering Summit. She could only temporarily seal her heart meridians to prevent the poison from spreading further.
“How are you?”
Xiao Chen frowned. He recalled the time when he was in the Qinling Mountains, when Xiahou Jie from the Seven Xia Halls of the Snow Region attacked. At that time, he was far from being Xiahou Jie’s opponent. As for the Qinling Qin Clan, only the Qin Clan’s old master, Qin Guan, could barely deal with him.
However, Xiahou Jie’s poison skills were excellent. If Qin Guan made a mistake, the entire Qin Family would probably be destroyed for a while. Qin Lian would definitely be forcibly taken away. Therefore, at that time, he had to fight on behalf of Qin Guan and compete with Xiahou Jie.
However, this competition was not about martial arts. Instead, it was about “poison”. Xiahou Jie poisoned him. If the poison was cured, then he would win. If the poison was not cured, then he would die of poison.
Even at that time, he was still unable to cure the poison that Xiahou Jie had poisoned. Therefore, that time, he took the risk and used himself as the cauldron to condense Xiahou Jie’s poison into a poison pill in his body. After refining that poison pill, it could be said to be the most poisonous pill in the world.
From the looks of it, the poison on Qianyu Nichang’s body was even more poisonous than the poison he had been infected with that day. It would probably be difficult for him to condense the poison pill with his cauldron like that day.
If everyone could condense poison pills with their cauldrons, then what kind of deterrence would the Poison Saint Storage’s poison have?
It was precisely because no one could cure his poison that even those who entered the Sage realm were afraid of him. It might not be difficult for a Sage realm person to kill him, but if he was already poisoned by this person and killed this person, then it would be equivalent to losing his life.
“Nothing …”
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang was forcefully supporting herself with her full strength, but she could still tell that she was poisoned and her complexion was getting uglier and uglier.
Evidently, no matter how profound her strength was, it was impossible for her to resist the Poison Saint’s poison. Even if her master Mei Yue was poisoned by the Poison Saint’s poison, she did not dare to say that nothing had happened.
“That Spiritual Energy … has disappeared.”
Qianyu Nichang looked into the distance. At this moment, she could no longer feel the Xiao Chen that she and Spiritual Energy had just detected. This meant that the Spiritual Energy gathering point had disappeared. In other words, someone had gone to the Eighth Heaven.
“Zang Fengyun’s poison is very powerful. If you don’t detoxify it in time, your life might be in danger. Find a place rich in spiritual energy first, and I’ll detoxify you.”
Xiao Chen frowned deeply. He could no longer care about the gathering point of Spiritual Energy. He had to think of a way to remove the poison for Qianyu Nichang first. Otherwise, the consequences would be hard to predict. The Poison Saint’s poison was definitely not just a matter of words.
Half an incense stick later, the two of them arrived at a flower valley. However, they saw strange flowers blooming in the valley. The grass was as green as grass. In the distance, there were emerald green lakes that looked like mirrors. The spiritual energy here was natural, and it could be said to be a sacred place for cultivating and healing.
“Uh …”
Qianyu Nichang’s face turned pale, and there was a faint spread of poison on his wrist.
He didn’t expect the poison to be so powerful that it only took him half an incense stick of time. Even though Qianyu Nichang had already sealed his heart meridians, the poison still seemed to attack his heart. Xiao Chen held her back, not to mention that he took her flying into the valley.
Landing in front of a shallow pond, Xiao Chen helped her sit down. However, seeing the clear water and the flow of spiritual energy on the surface of the pond, it was especially extraordinary. It was presumably more conducive to clearing the poison.
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen ordered Gui Yunshan to guard the valley entrance and immediately helped Qianyu Nichang into the pond. After the two sat down, the water in the pond rippled slightly, just below their waist and abdomen.
‘”Do you know how to cure the poison” Qianyu Nichang’s lips were pale and he turned his head slightly. At this moment, even his words seemed a little weak.
“I know a little. Don’t move.” Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his palm, Genuine energy’s luck, instantly touched her shoulders behind her back.
“Uh …”
Qianyu Nichang let out a muffled snort. At this moment, his entire body felt like lightning, and a numb and stinging sensation came from his body.
After about an incense stick, Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. This poison was so powerful that if it wasn’t for the poison that Xiahou Jie had placed on his body when he was in the Qinling Mountains, it would be comparable.
If it weren’t for the fact that his current cultivation wasn’t comparable to before, he probably wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it. But now, the biggest obstacle was between him and Qianyu Nichang.
Tibetan Fengyun’s poison was extremely powerful. To some extent, it was even more poisonous than Xiahou Jie’s poison back then, even though both of them were the same person.
So now, if she wanted to clear up Qianyu Nichang’s poison, the two of them could not hinder it. Moreover, Xiao Chen’s zhenqi belonged to Yang. If it stayed in Qianyu Nichang’s body, the poison would spread even faster, so she had to take off her clothes.
“Why … did you stop?” Seemingly noticing that he had stopped, Qianyu Nichang’s face turned pale as he asked.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed even deeper. Although the two of them had known each other since their youth, and they had practiced swordsmanship together on the Purple Night Peak back then, they were even more intimate. However, the obstacle between the two of them was not just a layer of clothing.
“I know …”
Qianyu Nichang’s lips were pale, and she was no longer the girl she was back then. She knew the worries in Xiao Chen’s heart.
After a while, Xiao Chen frowned and said, “If I allow the poison to continue spreading and delay for another three moments, then I won’t be able to get rid of the poison …”
“Then close your eyes and don’t open them” Qianyu Nichang said weakly, but his tone was very calm.
“Alright.” Xiao Chen followed her instructions and closed his eyes.
Qianyu Nichang stretched out his hand and slowly untied his clothes. His originally somewhat pale face, therefore, his heartbeat quickened and his complexion seemed to have returned to normal.
Whether it was because of the poisoning or because she was nervous, both her hands were trembling slightly, and her body was trembling slightly, causing ripples to spread out from the pool below her waist.
Finally, his clothes were gently untied, and his skirt slid down the water, like a flower blooming in the water, reflecting the flawless shoulders of the water.
“Alright, alright …”
A gentle breeze slowly blew past his chest. Qianyu Nichang could only feel bursts of heat on his face. Even his breathing trembled slightly.
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Without any hesitation, Genuine energy’s palms landed on her back. Her watery skin immediately emitted a burst of warmth.
“Uh …”
A muffled snort came from Qianyu Nichang, and her face became even hotter. At this moment, she could clearly feel the strands of true energy swimming all over her body.
After a day and night like this, Qianyu Nichang’s complexion looked much better. However, at this moment, Xiao Chen’s complexion was gradually turning pale. Obviously, in order to clear her poison, he had expended a lot of energy every day and night.
However, it wasn’t that Qianyu Nichang wasn’t exhausted. At this moment, his consciousness finally began to blur. After an unknown amount of time, he felt his vision darken and he fell backwards on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen immediately supported her and reached out to the surface of the water to put on her clothes. Only then did he open his eyes.
Qianyu Nichang’s eyes were closed. A layer of sweat had already condensed on her face. However, the poisoning had finally disappeared. She thought that the poison Tibetan Fengyun had planted had been cleared. Next, she only needed to wait for her recovery.
The clothes on her body were already soaked in the water. Xiao Chen carried her out of the water and went to a cave in the Flower Valley. He forced the water on her clothes dry with his internal force. However, at this moment, he accidentally saw a faint red mark near her chest under her left shoulder. It looked like a sword mark, but he didn’t know what it was.
“This is …”
Xiao Chen’s expression immediately froze. Based on his experience, this light red mark that looked like a sword mark was absolutely extraordinary. What kind of mark was this?
