The horse-faced cultivator would never have guessed that Su Zimo possessed a spirit perception that was extremely sensitive towards something as seemingly intangible as killing intent!
It was only logical for other cultivators to be hostile towards Su Zimo.
However, this horse-faced cultivator had a murderous intent towards him!
Uncle Liang sighed. "Xi Yushan, you might still have a chance to live if you're honest."
The horse-faced cultivator named Xi Yushan had a flustered expression. He realized that the other cultivators around him had already dispersed and were looking at him warily.
Xi Yushan gulped and looked at Su Zimo instinctively.
Su Zimo's gaze was sharp as a knife, emitting a piercing glint that flashed with lightning. It was unusually sharp and instantly destroyed the final line of defense in Xi Yushan's heart.
This was the power of one's gaze, silent and formless.
Su Zimo had only managed to reach this level after unblocking his eye orifices and tempering his eyes with demonic qi.
In the mortal world, some outlaws who killed people like scything flax would inadvertently reveal a ruthless and cruel expression. Ordinary people who met their eyes would immediately feel weak and would tremble with fear.
Eyes and guts were interconnected.
Therefore, in a confrontation between two people, if one party's gaze was weaker, their guts would weaken and they would reveal openings.
In the pugilistic world, there was a saying among connate and postnatal experts that one had to train their eyes before they could train their guts.
In the cultivation world, cultivation techniques that could truly train one's eyes were definitely secret skills that were not passed down!
The Bewitching Eye of the fiend sects and the Enraged Diamond Gaze of the Buddhist monasteries were both famous supreme Dharmic formulations.
Demoness Ji rarely took action personally when she killed. It was only normal for her opponent to commit suicide with a single glance.
Before unblocking his seven orifices, Su Zimo did not dare to meet her gaze easily.
That was also the reason why Su Zimo felt a headache the moment he caught sight of her and tried to avoid her.
"Speak!"
Su Zimo strode forward and hollered with a burning gaze and a thunderous voice.
This one word was a slight use of Thunderclap Kill's vocal technique.
In addition, Su Zimo had already opened his Mouth and Tongue Aperture. This voice was like a sudden clap of thunder in early spring, exploding in Xi Yushan's ears.
Xi Yushan was already feeling guilty after being glared at by Su Zimo. Now that he was yelled at, his mind instantly collapsed. With a plop, he knelt on the ground, his face deathly pale.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Xi Yushan's voice trembled as he said, "Junior Brother Pu and I were poisoned by the Poison Sect's Du Kai. He's the only one who has the antidote. I had no other choice."
Du Kai of the Poison Sect!
Tang Yu frowned slightly and explained to Su Zimo, "Du Kai is the commander of Poison Sect for this expedition. He's at seven meridian Foundation Establishment and his poison skills are unfathomable. He's a ruthless character."
Su Zimo nodded expressionlessly.
When he saw that no one was paying attention to him, Xi Yushan was even more fearful as he added hurriedly, "Furthermore, I've never done anything to betray the sect or hurt my fellow sect mates. Du Kai merely asked me to keep an eye on Su Zimo's group. If I could kill any one of them, I would be able to exchange for the antidote. "
At that point, most of the doubts in everyone's hearts were resolved.
The Elixir Yang Sect cultivator that was killed by Night Spirit was also poisoned by the Poison Sect's Death Powder – that was the reason why he acted so strangely.
Uncle Liang sneered. "You've already betrayed the sect by only saying that now! If Du Kai had asked you to kill your fellow sect mates in exchange for the antidote, I'm afraid you wouldn't have hesitated either. "
Many Elixir Yang Sect disciples were shocked and felt a sense of trepidation.
"No, I wouldn't."
Xi Yushan shook his head hurriedly in fear.
Tang Yu said with a look of pity, "Junior Brother Xi, do you know that the Death Powder isn't Poison Sect's Seven Lethals? Although I can't neutralize it, I can protect your life until you return to the sect. Given the methods of many seniors in the sect, it's not difficult for them to neutralize the Death Powder for you. As for you … "
"I was wrong, I know my mistake!"
Xi Yushan begged repeatedly.
When Tang Yu saw how pitiful he looked, she frowned slightly with a pained expression.
Uncle Liang sighed internally.
At the end of the day, Tang Yu lacked the decisiveness to kill.
For someone like Xi Yushan, no sect would easily forgive him!
Just as Uncle Liang was about to stand out and make a decision for Tang Yu to kill Xi Yushan on the spot, Su Zimo's voice sounded faintly, "Since you're so afraid of death …"
"Then go to hell!"
Suddenly, Su Zimo raised his leg and kicked Xi Yushan's chest heavily with a bang.
Snap!
Xi Yushan was sent flying and was plastered to the wall. He slid down slowly, leaving a trail of blood on the wall behind him.
Xi Yushan's chest had already caved in and his eyes were unfocused. His head tilted to the side and he died on the spot!
Many cultivators were dumbfounded.
Tang Yu opened her mouth, as though she wanted to say something. Eventually, she did not say anything and merely sighed softly.
"Ugh …"
Right then, Xiaoning who was initially unconscious in a corner suddenly let out a sleep-talk.
Su Zimo hurried over and squatted down. He reached out and placed his palm on Xiaoning's forehead to test her, asking gently, "Xiaoning, how do you feel?"
"Brother?"
Ning slightly opens her eyes. She can't see clearly what is in front of her. But she hears the familiar voice. Consciously, she cries out.
"It's me."
Su Zimo held Xiaoning's hand.
A familiar warmth reverberated in her heart and instantly, Xiaoning felt much more energized. She tried her best to open her eyes and smiled. "Brother, you're back? I'm fine, don't worry. "
When he saw Xiaoning's smile, Su Zimo could not help but smile as well. He brushed away Xiaoning's hair affectionately and asked in a slightly reproachful tone, "Why were you so careless?"
Xiaoning stuck out her tongue and blinked.
Tang Yu closed in and handed over a jade bottle. "This is a Grand Essence Enhancing Elixir. Let Xiaoning consume it. The poison in her body has just been purged and she's still weak."
"Thank you."
Su Zimo nodded and received the jade bottle. He poured out an elixir the size of a fingernail and fed it to Xiaoning.
Tang Yu was still puzzled and could not help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Su, do you guys have a feud with Poison Sect?"
Su Zimo stood up and could not help but recall the Poison Sect cultivator he killed in the cave abode of Perfected Jin Dan at the edge of the ancient battlefield.
"If you dare to kill me, all of you will die in the ancient battlefield!"
Those were the words left behind by the Poison Sect cultivator before his death.
Su Zimo did not hide anything and nodded. "I killed a Poison Sect cultivator previously."
"No wonder."
Tang Yu was enlightened and said in a deep voice, "Poison Sect cultivators are vicious and vengeful. A cultivator who can spread the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison definitely has a high status in Poison Sect. That person must have come to North City with the intention of killing all of you with poison. Unfortunately … "
In reality, Tang Yu's guess was close to the mark.
The Poison Sect cultivator's name was Lu Ang and he was also a seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He was ordered to come here to kill Su Zimo's group with poison but ended up encountering the Night Spirit.
The Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison was completely useless against the Night Spirit!
Lu Ang could not even last a single round and was killed by the Night Spirit on the spot!
