Killing God - Chapter 323
Chapter 323 Xu Clan
After a fierce battle, there was no one in the arena other than Shen Shi who could still stand. Not long ago, the two disciples of Mountain Bear Hall, who were extremely arrogant and arrogant, also ended up in the same situation as those Xu Clan disciples in the blink of an eye.
Shen Shi scanned his surroundings. After confirming that there were no hidden dangers, he quickly walked towards Xu Xing. Borrowing the light from the torch that had already tilted to the side, he could see that the black gas on Xu Xing’s face had suddenly become much denser and his breathing gradually weakened. Obviously, it was a poisonous attack, and he was about to lose his strength.
Shen Shi frowned. For a moment, he was helpless. He could only say that he knew a little about the Dao of Poison Pills. At most, he only knew about the effects of some spirit pills and poisons. If he really wanted to know how to cure poison, he was not proficient in it. Just like when he saw Little Hei being poisoned in the mountains, he was helpless. In the end, he could only use the most extensive and direct method to make Little Hei consume the Profound Flame Fruit, which had a strong antidote effect, to resist the poison. As for how effective it would be after consuming it and whether it would work, he actually didn’t know, so he could only secretly pray for the heavens to show mercy.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly stirred. He turned around and summoned Little Hei, saying, “Little Hei, do you still have any Profound Flame Fruits on your side? Borrow one to save someone.”
Little Black looked as if he was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at Shen Shi with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Shen Shi thought for a moment and said, “It was the last time I found you in Gaoling Mountain. Didn’t you get poisoned when I first found you? At that time, you ate the detoxifying spirit fruit.”
Little Hei snorted softly. It seemed like he understood. However, he immediately looked at Shen Shi and hesitated for a moment. However, the little pig’s head turned, as if it wanted to leave.
Shen Shi had been with this pig for a long time and knew its temperament. When he saw Little Hei’s movements, his eyes immediately lit up. He grabbed the Little Hei pig by the neck and hugged it in his arms. He smiled and said, “Don’t pretend to be dead, quickly take one out. This is to save people.”
Xiao Hei only shook his head, looking innocent.
Shen Shi thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, “Damn pig, you’re so stingy. Why don’t I exchange it with you?” As he spoke, he casually flipped his hand, and a Spirit Crystal appeared in his palm, handing it over to Little Hei.
Looking at the soft and beautiful spirit crystal, Little Hei’s eyes immediately lit up. However, a moment later, it snorted twice and grinned as if it was dissatisfied.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and said seriously, “Spiritual crystals are very precious. You can’t be so greedy.”
Little Hei’s head shrank, seemingly hesitating, but he quickly walked to Shen Shi’s feet and rubbed his head against his body, resolutely wanting more while expressing his affection.
Shen Shi sighed and stretched out his hand to wipe his Ruyi bag. He stared at Little Hei and said seriously, “You can’t have more spirit crystals. You’ve made a lot of money!”
Xiao Hei’s eyebrows immediately lit up as he grunted. He shook his head and saw a red fruit fall in front of Shen Shi. He then moved closer to Shen Shi’s palm and grabbed the two spirit crystals in one bite.
Shen Shi patted Little Hei’s head gently. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, he picked up the Profound Flame Fruit. However, at this moment, his heart suddenly stirred. He suddenly thought of a question that he had seemingly neglected for a long time. Wasn’t Spiritual Crystals something that only human cultivators could use and absorb Spiritual Qi from for a long time? Why did Little Hei seem so interested in Spiritual Crystals?
He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Little Black again. He saw that Little Black Pig was happily lying on the ground beside him, with the two spirit crystals in its mouth. It looked like a child who had obtained his beloved candy and was happily eating it.
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, but he couldn’t think of any good reason. He shook his head and ignored it. Anyway, ever since Little Hei followed him to the Human Realm, there seemed to be more and more unreasonable things on his body.

After Shen Shi obtained the Profound Flame Fruit, he returned to Xu Xing’s side. However, before giving him this spirit fruit to eat, Shen Shi still hesitated in his heart for a moment. The Profound Flame Fruit was rich in spiritual energy and was even more miraculous in detoxifying. However, it was still a primitive wild object. Normally, when a human cultivator obtained this kind of spiritual fruit, they would still be refined by an alchemist who was proficient in the pill dao. The detoxifying spiritual pill produced from it would be incomparably effective.
Although the detoxification effect of this kind of primordial spirit fruit was still there, it was slightly lower than the detoxification spirit pill refined, but the medicinal properties were even more ferocious. After all, when refining spirit pills, alchemists would add some ingredients to neutralize and refine it to alleviate the damage it caused to the human body.
In the past, Little Hei had swallowed the Profound Flame Fruit unscathed. That was because its body, which was naturally stronger than that of a demonic beast, was sufficient to resist the vicious medicinal properties of the Profound Flame Fruit. However, Shen Shi was not sure if Xu Xing could withstand it.
Don’t eat the Profound Flame Fruit. The poison hasn’t been undone yet. On the contrary, he died under the effects of this Profound Flame Medicine. That would be terrible.
However, after he hesitated for a moment, the black gas on Xu Xing’s face became a little heavier. He could see that he was already breathing out more than he was breathing in, and there was a faint sign that he could not hold on any longer. Shen Shi was shocked. He didn’t dare to wait any longer. He thought that at this point, he could only resign himself to fate. He immediately crushed the Profound Flame Fruit and felt the slightly burning pain. He pried open Xu Xing’s mouth and fed the juice along with the entire fruit into his mouth.
After that, Shen Shi stood up and looked around. He saw corpses lying on the ground. He pondered for a moment before he heard the conversation between the two Mountain Bear Hall cultivators. It was as if there was still some Elder Xiong’s powerful figure in the Centipede Mountain. He was merely tracking down the poison of some Fire Chain Snake.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi immediately made up his mind. He bent down and directly carried Xu Xing on his back. Then, he called out to Little Hei and stepped over to extinguish the burning torch. At this moment, the sky was already dark. The Centipede Mountain was pitch-black and quiet. The mountain shadows were hazy. Under the night breeze, the tree shadows swayed and looked like ghosts. It made one’s heart chill.
However, Shen Shi did not have any fear. After identifying the direction, he walked out of the forest with Xu Xing on his back.
He sped through the forest, but because there was no light and he was in this mountain region, Shen Shi did not walk smoothly. However, he gradually left the forest. In the end, he accidentally found a small cave under a secret depression. Shen Shi drilled into it, preparing to spend the night here, and then return to the city early tomorrow morning.
In the dead of night, traveling in the wilderness, especially in places where demonic beasts roamed, was not a good thing, judging from his past experience.
After arriving at the cave/placing Xu Xing on the ground, Shen Shi accidentally touched the skin on his hand and was immediately shocked. He only felt that Xu Xing’s body was suddenly boiling hot at an unknown time, and the temperature was somewhat frighteningly high.
This was clearly the beginning of the effects of the Profound Flame Fruit. However, Shen Shi was slightly uneasy in his heart. He clearly remembered that after Little Hei consumed the Profound Flame Fruit that day, his reaction was definitely not as strong as Xu Xing’s. Could it really be that there were too many differences in physiques that would have some undesirable consequences?
However, since the matter had already come to this point, Shen Shi was helpless. He could only hope that Sun You’s little uncle would be lucky enough to be able to survive under the ferocious medicinal power of the Profound Flame Fruit.
Long night, It seemed to have been an exceptionally long time, Fortunately, no nocturnal demonic beasts discovered where they were hiding and harassed them, However, in the cave, Xu Xing’s body’s temperature had always been high and frighteningly hot. At the same time, he had always been unconscious. At most, he would occasionally let out a few low-pitched groans. In this way, the first light of dawn was ushered in through the criss-crossed rifts between life and death.
The sky lit up.
Before the morning sun rose, there was a faint light in the cave. Shen Shi, who had been guarding the cave all night, turned around and looked at Xu Xing. Suddenly, he discovered that the black gas on his face had faded a lot. However, a few strange red spots appeared on one of his faces. It looked like a burned wound. It was very strange.
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He stretched out his hand and probed his palm. Then, he discovered that the temperature on Xu Xing’s body had dropped a lot at some unknown time. Although he still felt a little scorching heat, it was still much better than last night’s most violent time.
Shen Shi instantly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that the Profound Flame Fruit still had astonishing medicinal effects. It had finally saved Xu Xing’s life. However, judging from his appearance, it was likely that there would be some sequelae. However, Shen Shi couldn’t care less at the moment. After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at the situation outside the cave. Then, he stood up again and carried Xu Xing on his back. Then, he brought Little Hei along and quickly walked towards the direction of Cloud Flowing City outside Centipede Mountain in the early morning light.
Since it was bright and he could see the surroundings, the mountain path was much easier to walk. The enemies Shen Shi was worried about from the Mountain Bear Hall did not appear along the way. Although he did not know why, perhaps it was that Elder Xiong who chased after the Fire Chain Snake too far. He might not have noticed anything strange behind him.
Shen Shi didn’t dare to delay. Apart from Centipede Mountain, he had carried Xu Xing back to Floating Cloud City. Fortunately, he now had a Dao Cultivator, and his body was strong. Otherwise, if an ordinary person carried such a large person on his back, he would have to die of exhaustion. Even so, when Shen Shi returned to Floating Cloud City, he was rather tired. However, after rushing to this city, he was finally barely safe. Shen Shi did not delay and rushed all the way to the Xu Clan’s mansion in the east of the city.
Many aristocratic families in Floating Cloud City, flourish, Most of the ancestral houses were built on the east side of Floating Cloud City. It could be said that there were many aristocratic families. Therefore, when Shen Shi rushed to the east of the city with Xu Xing on his back, he immediately attracted the attention of some people, intentionally or unintentionally. Perhaps, he did not understand what had happened. Along the way, there were people watching and approaching, but no one stopped him.
Of course, Shen Shi didn’t have the heart to pay attention to these things. He only wanted to rush to the Xu Clan to give Xu Xing a proper explanation, so he could be considered worthy of Sun You.
The Xu Clan was also considered a prominent clan in Floating Cloud City, and their influence was deep. Apart from the Sun Clan, which was now at its peak, no one dared to underestimate the Xu Clan in Floating Cloud City in terms of their prestige and strength. When Shen Shi finally arrived in front of the Xu Clan’s main gate with Xu Xing on his back, the Xu Clan seemed to have received the news in advance. A dozen people suddenly rushed out. Seeing that they were all cultivators with Dao Cultivators, all of them had solemn expressions on their faces as they surrounded Shen Shi.
Shen Shi was stunned and stopped. He stood there and looked at these people, his brows slightly wrinkled
