As one of the highest echelons of the Poison Hall, Shen Jue had traveled across the Master Teacher Continent in search of the Tome of Poison Legacy left behind by the founder. He had met with many powerful master teachers, and he had even crossed blows with the grand elders of the Poison Hall before … But never had he heard of anyone being able to accurately grasp the situation of a person with just a glance and formulate a battle strategy!
This was no longer a matter of eye of discernment but the ability of a deity!
"Un. There's no need for us to attack anymore. Here are a few surges of zhenqi. Conceal yourselves in the surroundings and make sure that no one notices you. After you're done, return to my side and sit down.
Don't worry about anything else, "Zhang Xuan instructed telepathically before flicking his finger.
The three experts immediately received several surges of zhenqi simultaneously.
These surges of zhenqi were filled with spiritual energy, devoid of any poison or other energy. Even though Lin Jianghai and the others had no idea why Zhang Xuan was doing this, they still followed Zhang Xuan's instructions and set up their zhenqi.
One of the most formidable means of poison masters was to poison others without them noticing. As such, it wasn't too difficult for them to set up an elemental zhenqi barrier. Thus, it didn't take long for them to finish setting it up. After which, they returned to Zhang Xuan's side, and following the latter's instructions, ignoring the master teachers glaring at them from above, they sat down cross-legged.
Soon, the master teachers in the air had dispelled the poison aura in their bodies, and they turned their gazes over with deep frowns on their faces.
Honestly speaking, given the previous situation, they should have had a chance to escape. Yet, instead of fleeing, they chose to sit down on the ground. What were they up to?
"Are they trying to play tricks on us? We were caught off guard earlier, but as long as we are prepared, we should be able to kill them all!"
Elder Qu said with a livid face.
"Indeed! They are just three poison masters! If they can't even deal with this, what right do they have to stand against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?"
One of the master teachers bellowed.
To the Mingshi Tang headquarters, while the Poison Temple was a bizarre existence, it was nothing more than a minor ailment. They had thought that as long as they made a move, they would be able to subdue the three poison masters easily. Yet, who could have thought that the other party would use some kind of bizarre means to defeat them in a single move?
"They are only good at using poison. My secondary occupation is a Nine Stars Doctor. Usually, I can concoct quite a few antidotes. Let me be the vanguard!"
With a cold bellow, a master teacher stepped forward. With a flick of his wrist, he took out an antidote and swallowed it. Without waiting for Ren Qingyuan's approval, he flew toward Zhang Xuan and the others with widened strides. While in midair, he sent a palm strike toward them.
His power was like a huge mountain that fell from the sky. Just as it was about to fall on the heads of the crowd, it suddenly came into contact with the true energy that the few of them had set up in the surroundings.
This stream of True Qi immediately flowed against his True Qi and entered his body in the blink of an eye.
If it had been lethal poison, his protective zhenqi would have been able to repel it. Even if it had entered his body, the Antidote Pill would have been able to work on it. However, this surge of zhenqi did not possess any attribute, and it was incomparably pure. As soon as it entered his meridians, it immediately seeped into his internal organs.
Huala!
The master teacher's face warped in shock. Before his attack could even land, it had already dissipated. Putong! He plummeted from the sky with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"This is …"
Elder Qu's face warped in horror. He hurriedly rushed forward and exclaimed, "Elder Bai has been poisoned …"
He had encountered such a situation back at the Glacier Plain Court. Zhang Xuan had disguised himself as Yang shi and poisoned him, causing him to lose his fighting prowess. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the other party to wreak havoc in the Glacier Plain Court, resulting in the destruction of a ten-thousand-year-old palace.
"Poisoned?"
The crowd hurriedly turned their gazes over, only to see Elder Bai trembling uncontrollably, as if he was suffering from immense pain. The antidote Pill that they had used earlier was completely ineffective.
"What kind of poison is this?"
Ren Qingyuan was astonished.
He was well aware of Elder Bai's medical skills. Even a Nine Star physician who had consumed an Antidote Pill had still been poisoned … What kind of lethal poison could possibly be so potent?
"I'm not too sure either. It's no different from ordinary zhenqi, but once it enters one's body, it turns into a venomous fluid.
It's impossible for one to guard against it … "Elder Bai explained with his trembling teeth.
"It's no different from ordinary zhenqi? Could it be that it's a Thought of Poison? This … "
Astonished, Ren Qingyuan quickly turned around and instructed, "Everyone, don't attack recklessly. We'll only make a move after we come up with a countermeasure!"
Will as Poison was a powerful poison. Usually, it would be undetectable to others, but once the user used their will, it would immediately turn into a lethal poison, making it impossible for one to guard against it.
Given that the other party had set up such a powerful poison in the surroundings, if they were to charge in recklessly, there was a high chance that something might go wrong. Thus, they had to think of a countermeasure in advance.
"This poison is formidable, but it's not too difficult to neutralize it. I have experienced it before, so I'll help you deal with it …"
Elder Qu tapped his finger lightly, and a surge of zhenqi flowed into Elder Bai's body.
He had been afflicted with this poison back in the Glacier Plain Court, so he knew how to deal with it. While it was painful, it wouldn't harm his foundation.
And as expected, under his help, it took less than three minutes for the poison to be completely neutralized. However, the master teachers also glanced at one another, not daring to advance any further.
Even though the two of them had managed to neutralize the poison, they had still been poisoned without anyone noticing. Anyone in their place would be fearful.
"Let's find the area where they set up the poison first and figure out what kind of poison it is. Otherwise, we'll just be watching helplessly!"
"Don't worry, as long as we seal the area, they won't be able to escape. Besides, there's a time limit to the poison as well. I don't believe that they can maintain such might for long …"
The master teachers glanced at one another. No one dared to attack, but they didn't leave either.
"Zhang Shi … is actually an expert in poison as well?"
Seeing how even a dozen Nine Star master teachers and a deputy pavilion master were helpless before the young man before them, Lin Jianghai and the others couldn't help but look at him in awe and shock.
They were all experts in poison, so they knew how fearsome Will as Poison was. To think that an ordinary zhenqi shot out by the other party would be able to achieve such an effect!
All along, they had thought that Zhang Shi was just a benefactor to the pavilion master, and they couldn't bear to see him fall into danger. However, at this moment, they realized that the young man's understanding of poison far surpassed theirs. In fact, his understanding of poison was even stronger than that of the pavilion master!
It was no wonder the other party addressed her as teacher … The other party had really imparted her with the art of poison!
"As long as we wait for the pavilion master to return, they won't dare to attack us anymore …"
Lin Jianghai and the others heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that the master teachers didn't charge forward despite their rage.
As long as the pavilion master was here, they should be able to resolve the crisis.
"What's going on? Which one of you is Zhang Xuan? I would like to see what he looks like. What kind of formidable foe is he? "
Amidst the silence, a calm voice suddenly sounded, and a figure slowly walked out of the crowd.
It was a white-bearded elder.
"It's the First Elder of the Luo Clan!"
Someone in the crowd recognized the elder.
"Hahaha, Luo Qingchen, you came at the right time!"
Upon seeing the elder, Ren Qingyuan's eyes lit up.
