"What if I don't choose?" Lu Xuan forcefully suppressed the restless Yuan Energy in his body and slowly stepped forward.
Duanmu Lei couldn't help but panic. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so unafraid of death. However, he also knew that he couldn't show any weakness at this moment. Once he showed any signs of weakness, the initiative would be handed to Lu Xuan.
Duanmu Lei immediately took a few steps back and said with a face full of vigilance, "You better think it through. Once you kill me, the poison will take effect and you will definitely die. However, if you obey me, I will definitely detoxify you after we leave the Profound Ice Secret Realm. Moreover, I will also give you a portion of the resources. This is definitely a win-win situation."
"You will detoxify me after we leave?" Lu Xuan seemed to be a little shaken.
Duanmu Lei was overjoyed and quickly said, "Of course. I don't want your life. I just want you to cooperate with me. That's why I came up with this plan."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan seemed to be a little hesitant. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Alright, give me the pill."
Hearing Lu Xuan agree, Duanmu Lei immediately heaved a sigh of relief and quickly took two steps forward. However, as if he had thought of something, he quickly stopped and bent down to put the pill on the ground. Then, he took another step back and said, "The pill is on the ground. Pick it up and eat it. I will concoct the antidote for you."
Obviously, Duanmu Lei was very vigilant and worried that Lu Xuan would trick him.
"Hmph, coward." Lu Xuan coldly snorted and directly walked forward to pick up the pill. After a moment of hesitation, he put it into his mouth.
Duanmu Lei had been carefully observing Lu Xuan's movements. When he saw that Lu Xuan really swallowed the pill, he felt relieved. Only then did he truly feel relieved.
He smiled and said, "Caution is the parent of safety. Senior Brother, didn't you also fall for my trick because you were careless? The pill you just ate will take effect once every half an hour. I only have medicine to delay the effects of the pill. I don't have a complete antidote, so don't try to force me to hand over the antidote. "
This Duanmu Lei was really meticulous and meticulous. It could be said that he had Lu Xuan firmly in his grasp!
"Cut the crap. give me the antidote first." Lu Xuan asked for the antidote right away. Duanmu Lei's poison was truly potent. Lu Xuan felt that the Yuanli in his body was becoming more and more restless. Not only did it greatly reduce his strength, but if he did not detoxify the poison soon, it would rush into his internal organs and explode, leading to his death.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die." Duanmu Lei kept his word. After all, a dead Lu Xuan was useless to him.
Duanmu Lei quickly took out a few bottles and jars from his storage ring. After some mixing, a small bottle of antidote was formed.
This was the way the Sun Moon Villa did things. They never carried ready-made antidotes on them. They only carried some half-finished products that needed to be mixed at the last minute to form the antidote. This also greatly increased their safety. Even if Lu Xuan directly killed Duanmu Lei, he wouldn't be able to obtain the real antidote.
Holding the small bottle of antidote, Duanmu Lei walked straight to Lu Xuan and handed it to him. "Drink it."
Now, he was not on guard against Lu Xuan. After all, Lu Xuan had already eaten his poison pill. If he wanted to live, he could only listen to him.
This time, Lu Xuan didn't say much. Since he had already been poisoned by Duanmu Lei, one more wouldn't matter. Moreover, Duanmu Lei didn't need to do this.
As the bottle of antidote entered his body, Lu Xuan closed his eyes. He quickly felt the effects of the antidote. The restless essence energy in his body gradually calmed down. The soreness and powerlessness also slowly disappeared. His strength was constantly recovering.
After a long while, Lu Xuan opened his eyes. The poison that he had been poisoned had been completely cured. However, the poison from Duanmu Lei's poison pill still existed.
"Give me everything you got from Han Qing!" Duanmu Lei used a commanding tone to instruct Lu Xuan. "Yuan Stone, Ice Soul, Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus. Not a single one can be missing!"
A strange light flickered in Lu Xuan's eyes as he looked at Duanmu Lei. He slowly said, "You also know that I have the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus. I believe you should know the effects of the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus."
A trace of doubt flashed across Duanmu Lei's face, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a look of horror. With a strange cry, he quickly turned around and fled!
He was fast, but Lu Xuan was even faster!
The Blink Sword Technique was unleashed in an instant. A sword viciously slashed at Duanmu Lei's back. Duanmu Lei suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as his entire body was sent flying and fell to the ground.
Ignoring the intense pain coming from his back, Duanmu Lei's face was filled with fear as he looked at the slowly approaching Lu Xuan. It was all for naught!
He had calculated everything, but he had actually forgotten about the existence of the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus!
The Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus had many uses, but the most important one was its antidote!
It was no wonder that Lu Xuan dared to unscrupulously consume his poison pill. It was precisely because of the existence of the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus that Lu Xuan was so fearless. The only reason why he had feigned civility was because he wanted to obtain the antidote for the previous poison. After all, Lu Xuan needed to recover his strength before he dared to make a move against Duanmu Lei.
"Senior brother, I was wrong. Please don't kill me. I have no ill intentions. I only want to cooperate with you …" Duanmu Lei's hands were on the ground as he continuously crawled backwards and begged bitterly. The situation had changed drastically. Right now, his life was completely in the hands of Lu Xuan.
With regards to Duanmu Lei's words, Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear. No ill intentions? Those words could only fool a ghost. Lu Xuan did not believe that Duanmu Lei would give him the antidote after leaving the Profound Ice Mystic Realm. The most likely scenario was that Duanmu Lei would directly poison Lu Xuan to death when he had no more value to him.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the habit of putting my life in the hands of others. Since you have chosen to make a move against me, you should be prepared to suffer my wrath." After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he did not give Duanmu Lei another chance to speak. The longsword in his hand left his hand and shot towards Duanmu Lei at lightning speed.
Pfft!
The sound of a longsword piercing through flesh could be heard. The Shattered Ice Sword directly pierced through Duanmu Lei's throat. For a moment, he was not completely dead. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Lu Xuan did not rush forward. He waited until Duanmu Lei was completely dead before retrieving the Shattered Ice Sword. The reason why he did not approach Duanmu Lei was that Lu Xuan still had a lingering fear of his poison. Although he had the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus, the effect of the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus was also limited. It was better to avoid this poison.
Only after successfully killing Duanmu Lei did Lu Xuan feel a lingering fear in his heart. If he had coincidentally obtained the Abstruse Ice Jade Leaf Lotus, he might have really died this time. He would not have died at the hands of a Spirit Refinement Realm martial artist, but at the hands of a fellow in the Body Refinement Realm who used poison.
Before entering the Profound Ice Mystic Realm, Instructor Yang had told him to be wary of the disciples of the Sun Moon Villa. He did not expect that he would still be careless. He now deeply understood that he must not let his guard down just because the enemy was weak. There were countless examples of high-level martial artists dying in the hands of low-level martial artists. Poison, traps, these were all things that could cause a person to fail miserably.
Without time to lament, Lu Xuan quickly peeled off the storage ring from Duanmu Lei's hand. As for Duanmu Lei's corpse, he did not even touch it. Who knew if this guy had the habit of smearing poison on his body.
While quickly retreating from this place, Lu Xuan checked Duanmu Lei's storage ring.
With one look, Lu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. In Duanmu Lei's storage ring, there were many bottles and jars. It was obvious that they were all kinds of poisons. There were also hundreds of Intermediate Primordial Stones. However, this was not what made Lu Xuan happy.
Because he actually found two Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus in Duanmu Lei's storage ring! It was one more than the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus in Han Qing's possession!
Now, Lu Xuan finally understood why Duanmu Lei would rather run away than hand over his storage ring to save his life. It turned out that this guy had already obtained two Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotuses before this.
Two Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotuses were worth six thousand contribution points. If Duanmu Lei really obtained the resources in Lu Xuan's hands, it would instantly reach ten thousand contribution points!
This guy's calculations were really good. However, it all benefited Lu Xuan now. The three Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotuses and the Primordial Stones were placed into Lu Xuan's storage ring. As for Duanmu Lei's poisons, Lu Xuan did not touch them. However, he did not throw them away either. Who knows, they might come in handy in the future.
Lu Xuan pushed the Wind Riding Art to its fastest speed and quickly retreated from this place. An hour later, the other portion of Duanmu Lei's poison would take effect and Lu Xuan had to detoxify it before that happened. Originally, he was worried that the medicinal properties of the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus would not be enough and he would not be able to detoxify it. After all, the medicinal properties of the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus would only be better after being refined into elixirs. However, now that he had three of them, there would definitely be no problem.
Very quickly, Lu Xuan found a secluded valley. With a wave of his hand, he set up an illusion array and concealed the entire valley. Lu Xuan immediately entered the valley as he secretly made up his mind. If there was an opportunity in the future, he would study the way of talismans. It would be of great use at a crucial moment.
Sitting down cross-legged, a light flashed and a fragrant Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus fell into Lu Xuan's hands. The Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus was indeed as its name suggested. The entire lotus seemed to be carved out of ice and made of jade. Moreover, the lotus leaves were verdant and glistening, just like the finest jade.
Such a beautiful thing made one somewhat reluctant to destroy it. However, in order to preserve his life, Lu Xuan did not care so much. He directly stretched out his hand and stuffed the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus into his mouth. A cool and fragrant sensation spread and Lu Xuan swiftly swallowed it.
Worried that the medicinal effects were insufficient, Lu Xuan clenched his teeth and took out another Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus. He continued to stuff it into his mouth and consumed two Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotuses in a row.
Even though the Profound Ice Jade Leaf Lotus was extremely valuable and could be exchanged for three thousand contribution points, Lu Xuan believed that he would be able to find an even better treasure sooner or later. When it was time to use it, he would not be lenient.
