Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 907

Chapter 907: Disciple in Using Sorcerer Clan’s Gu Poison

Dream Clouds’ original intent was to use numbers to whittle down Happy’s advantage, which was why she mobilized more than two thousand Class One Hall elites to head to Shaolin Temple, but what she did not expect was that Happy did not even use Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Universe’s Lightning Destruction Style.

He used his saber technique boldly, and with Dragon Saber’s astonishing destruction, the circular area of dozens of feet around him turned into an absolute forbidden area.

He easily blocked the threats from Class One Hall away from him, causing Dream Clouds’ initial plan of largely diminishing Happy’s qi to instantly be destroyed.

In the beginning, Wei Zhentian was the one who went up against Happy. Immediately after, Do Jin suffered a setback against him, and right now, even the people from Class One Hall lost their ability to fight against him.

If Dream Clouds did not bring out the killing move she prepared beforehand, then even if she sent all the Class One Hall members on Mount Song to their deaths, they will still be unable to do anything against Happy.

When she saw that all her hundreds of people were about to die, Dream Clouds sighed in disappointment. Then, with a dark expression, she retreated into the crowd quietly and arrived in front of a girl who was hidden under a cloak and who was surrounded tightly by Class One Hall members.

Before Dream Clouds said anything, a charming and clear voice came from the person’s lips.

“How did you end up as mortal enemies against this person? He is already very strong, and the organization behind him is also the strongest in the Chinese server—”

“I don’t need you lecturing me in whatever I do!”

Dream Clouds seemed to be very averse to being lectured by anyone else. Her expression darkened, and she said, “I had you focus on training for a full year, it’s time to show your worth.”

When she heard this, the cloaked girl fell silent in resignation, and she raised her hands under the cloak. It was a pair of arms with multiple purplish-green scars criss-crossing all over the skin, and flowing under her purplish-red blood vessels was not blood, but poison.

A faint and pungent smell quickly spread out from her sleeves.

Silence fell.

Sharp intakes of breaths immediately rose around her.

It was very difficult for them to imagine that a girl with such a beautiful and charming voice would have such hideous and terrifying arms.

The cloaked girl seemed to be used to the terrified and wary gazes from people. She said aloofly, “Have your people move away. Once the poison art is activated, all living creatures within a circular area of 328 feet will not survive.”

No one said anything, but the first reaction of the Class One Hall members nearby was to think that the girl sounded really full of herself.

But when they saw the cloaked girl’s shocking and terrifying arms, it was not hard for the people to imagine just what sort of terrifying and diabolical poisonous art the cloaked girl practiced. There were plenty of people who needed to pay a price to learn an ultimate technique that will allow them to stand at the top of the world of martial artists. Take, for example, Dongfang Bubai’s successor, he only needed to imitate a girl’s movements to get an ability that will allow him to stand at the top, but when compared to the cloaked girl’s situation, the price he had to pay paled in comparison.

Dream Clouds frowned and cast a glance at the battlefield. “No need. The remaining people will stay in the battlefield to hold him back and buy time for you. If it’s necessary, it’s worth it even if we have to have all the others die in exchange for Happy’s death.”

Everyone was stunned silent. The people in the area sucked in sharp breaths again.

Just what sort of terrifying poison art did the mysterious girl possess for Dream Clouds to trust in her so much? Judging by Dream Clouds’ tone, she seemed to be very confident that the cloaked girl can kill Happy and everyone in the battlefield in one go.

The mysterious cloaked girl seemed to have predicted that Dream Clouds will answer in this manner, and she said nothing else. She slowly walked out of the crowd and brought out a very strange-looking box from her Universe Bag.

“It’s a goblet containing the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison!”

At that moment, some of the people in the crowd who were very knowledgeable finally recognized the strange box in the mysterious cloaked girl’s hands, and they could not help but release low cries of surprise.

The people around him demanded answers.

“What’s a goblet containing the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison?”

“Legends have it that it’s an item that only the sorcerers who practice Gu poison will use it. It’s a very powerful demon vessel, and it should be above high-grade divine weapons, but it’s still a demon vessel.”

The group was incredibly confused by what they heard.

“…Just what is it?”

“That’s right, just what use does it have?”

“How should I know?” The person who recognized the goblet had his face full of resignation, but he could not hide the amazement and excitement in his eyes. “I only know that many of the people who practice the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison in the game will all manage to master a very sinister poisonous art. They can quietly cause a person to be poisoned, and their abilities will be largely compromised. In fact, they can cause people to bleed nonstop.

“Anyway, they have amazing abilities, and they absolutely do not belong to any form of martial arts.”

“They can cause a person’s abilities to be largely compromised?”

Many of the Class One Hall members in the crowd had their eyes lit up.

“That’s right. Aside from this, while they might not be very strong, the strongest aspect about them is that they can drag down their opponent’s abilities. However, I don’t see anyone use the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison now. Still, I heard that those who use Gu poison will have a very powerful Gu poison that belongs only to them, and it’s so powerful that it can compare to the ultimate techniques in the game.”

When they heard this, at that moment, many people can already guess Dream Clouds’ goal in asking that mysterious cloaked girl to come to this place.

Everyone’s gazes were fixed on the mysterious cloaked girl who walked into the battlefield through the path parted for her, including Dream Clouds.

“Whether or not we can kill Happy will depend entirely on you now.” Dream Clouds stared at her little sister’s back with an incredibly solemn gaze.

*****

At the moment the mysterious cloaked girl walked out from the crowd, Happy quickly had his gaze lock on the incredibly strange and mysterious girl. He scowled, and he smelled a dangerous scent from her that caused him faint unease.

Even Do Jin had been unable to cause him unease or make him feel any sense of danger, but now, a mysterious cloaked girl gave him those feelings when she showed up.

Happy did not dare to be negligent.

Dragon Capture!

“AH!”

Monk With Thick Eyebrows cried out in surprise. He had relied on his Buddhist’s Demon Subduing Art to last through a few blows against Happy, and in the end, in his impatience, Happy seized him and dragged his Dragon Saber upward.

The pavilion was instantly filled with blood.

“Careful.” He turned his head around and gave a reminder to Xu Xin before he walked out of the pavilion with his saber.

At that moment, the area outside the pavilion looked as if an earth dragon had decided to roll a few times around it. There were trenches that intersected with each other all over the ground. Strewn on them were incomplete corpses that had turned blurry. At the moment Happy walked down the stairs, the entire area became silent.

Everyone knew that Happy was about to begin his counterattack!

However, there were even more people who cast their gazes on the mysterious cloaked girl who walked toward Happy calmly.

“Is that a goblet containing the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison?”

Happy was finally able to see the item the mysterious cloaked girl carried in her arms carefully. His feet immediately came to a halt, and he looked shocked as well as bewilderment.

The goblet containing the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison was an item only the most outstanding disciples of the sorcerer clan’s Gu poison can obtain.

Happy scowled, and his expression instantly became much more solemn. His gaze moved from her arms to her entire body, and in the end, he focused on the skin on her arms, which was exposed slightly in the air.

Within a moment, Happy experienced a great sense of danger that made him feel chills all over his body.

He activated Nine Yang Divine Skill’s spiritual senses to its fullest, and without another word, he activated Arhat Body, he even brought out a red medicinal pill that exuded a thick medicinal scent from his Universe Bag.

Under countless people’s eyes while they burst into a ruckus, Happy suddenly turned around and fled into the pavilion before he quickly stuffed the medicinal pill in his hands into the woman’s mouth.

The mysterious cloaked woman had already walked into the battlefield. She walked lightly and gracefully, and a dazzling as well as enchanting purple aura spread out from under her cloak. The goblet in her hands also started trembling faintly.

“It’s useless.” The mysterious cloaked girl’s voice spread through the entire battlefield clearly. “To put it accurately, the Gu poison I released isn’t exactly poison. Normal antidotes are useless against it.”

At that moment, she was only 98 feet away from the pavilion.

While she moved forward slowly, the dozen Class One Hall members who had not died on the battlefield suddenly had their expressions change drastically. They looked as if they could not breathe, and they seized their throats in great panic. Their faces instantly turned purple.

The mysterious cloaked girl only sighed faintly in reaction to all this. She said nothing else and continued walking forward.

Even though the mysterious cloaked girl said that antidotes did not work, Happy did not stop with whatever he was doing. Once he fed Xu Xin the antidote, he brought up Xu Xin’s wrist.

When he looked at it, a bone-chilling glare and killing intent instantly filled his eyes.

A faint, purple tinge had already appeared on Xu Xin’s fair wrist, and it was getting darker. At the very front of the purple tint were small bumps, and they were slowly heading to her heart meridian through her blood vessels.

Xu Xin saw the things on her arm, and she was also shocked. But when she remained next to Happy, the strange wave of ease caused her to not panic and turn pale.

Even so, Xu Xin’s shivering arm still showed her fear and unease.

“Purple Heart Gu Poison.” When he recognized the origin of the Gu poison Xu Xin was afflicted with, Happy quickly thought of the remedy for this poison.

Even though he never ran into Gu poison elites in his previous life, he did see quite a number of great players who died under the poisonous schemes of these Gu Poison Arts.

Also, while this Purple Heart Gu Poison was a rather high-end Gu poison, it was not an incurable Gu poison, provided that the person was not too deeply affected by the poison.

He quickly tapped two acupressure points on Xu Xin’s body, and Xu Xin let out a faint cry before her poisoned arm instantly fell limply to her side. Her entire body felt weak, and she could lift any of her limbs no matter how hard he tried.

Happy swiftly brought out his sword, sliced at her, and dragged his sword up.

A gush of blood shot out of Xu Xin’s arm.

Purple blood sprayed on a pillar in the pavilion.

The faint goosebumps that rose on her skin were all delicately drawn out by Happy, and with a thud, they shattered against the pillar in the pavilion.

Happy did not even spare the purple blood a look before he executed a Spiral Force to crush the objects inside the purple blood to pieces. Then, he quickly bandaged Xu Xin’s wound.

That series of actions was executed with such familiarity that he looked like he had gone through this multiple times. His movements were smooth and unhesitant, just like flowing water.

Once he finished bandaging her, he made her swallow a Small Reversion Pill, and blood returned to Xu Xin’s face. Her body also became warmer.

But Xu Xin soon noticed that a faint layer of purple had appeared on Happy’s face.

“Your face…”

“I’m fine.”

Nine Yang Divine Skill was a qi cultivation technique that contained supreme fierceness and contained the most yang qi. Sinister poisons will absolutely not affect and harm Happy.

While Nine Yang Divine Skill circulated in his meridian system, the Gu poison that had just invaded his body was completely destroyed. The purple tint on his face vanished completely, and he looked energetic once more.

“Huh?”

The mysterious cloaked woman had arrived near the pavilion at that moment. When she saw that Xu Xin and Happy were unharmed, she could not help but let out a surprised cry.

She cast a glance at the purple blood that was mixed with black pellets in the pavilion. The mysterious cloaked woman was stunned once more. “Purple Heart Worms are as fine as particles. They have no color and smell, and they will grow only when they come into contact with blood once they crawl into a person’s body. Within a short period of time, it can easily kill a top-class elite who is extremely strong. How did you manage to live? And how did you know how to cure it?”

Her voice was sweet and clear, and aside from shock, there was not a hint of killing intent in her voice.
