At this point, he was certain that the other party had recognized him.
Just that … he had disguised himself perfectly, so how in the world did the other party see through his disguise?
Could it be that the other party was even more fearsome than him?
"It's just a drink, you're thinking too much …"
The Otherworldly Demon chuckled softly as he took the gourd from Zhang Xuan's hand. Narrowing his eyes, he took a closer look at the gourd.
Considering that the other party had recognized him and even offered him a drink, there was no way he would believe that there was nothing wrong with it.
Focusing his gaze, the Otherworldly Demon swiftly scanned the gourd, and a frown appeared on his forehead.
Based on what he had seen, the gourd was indeed filled with ordinary wine. At the very most, it only contained a slightly higher concentration of spiritual energy.
"I'm not used to this wine. You should drink mine …"
After a moment of hesitation, the Otherworldly Demon passed the gourd back to Zhang Xuan and took out a jade bottle.
This was something that he carried around with him, so there should be no problem with it.
Raising the jade bottle, Zhang Xuan was just about to uncork it and take a sip when Sun Qiang suddenly reached out and took the bottle from him. "You can't get used to my wine. Come, let me see what you have."
After saying those words, he uncorked the bottle.
A rich aroma of wine gushed out from the bottle. It was indeed much better than the wine in the gourd.
"This is indeed good wine. It's no wonder you don't like mine. Here …"
Zhang Xuan took a look at it and passed it back to Zhang Xuan.
"Un."
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had only taken the jade bottle, the Otherworldly Demon heaved a sigh of relief. He took the jade bottle and took a sip.
"Now, can you come with me to find a restaurant and drink until we're drunk?"
Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Of course!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Lord …"
Seeing that the lord they were escorting was going to drink with someone else, the two guards stared at one another in shock … Aren't we here to participate in the auction? Why are we going to drink before the auction even begins?
"You two go in first, I'll be back soon …"
The Otherworldly Demon waved his hands confidently.
"Yes!" Seeing that the Otherworldly Demon had made up his mind, the guards hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Even their master had to obey the orders of the Otherworldly Demon, so naturally, they dared not disobey the other party's orders.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the other party was done, Zhang Xuan led the way and left Inkcloud Quarter.
After walking along the street for a while, he came to a secluded alley.
"Who are you?"
The Otherworldly Demon could not hold himself back any longer, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
"Me? He is just an ordinary human. On the other hand, as an Otherworldly Demon, you actually disguised yourself as a human and came here. You sure are gutsy! "
Zhang Xuan's lips curled up into a smile as he asked, "Am I right, Waterleaf King?"
"Who … are you?"
Narrowing his eyes, the Otherworldly Demon flicked his wrist, and a surge of zhenqi immediately sealed the area, turning the entire street into a living hell.
Now that his identity had been recognized, he was already planning to make a move.
"Who am I?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "You don't have the right to know my identity yet!"
"You won't speak? Then don't leave! "
The Otherworldly Demon Waterleaf King roared furiously as he charged forward with his claws.
Huala!
The violent Zhen Qi rolled up like waves, and the whole street seemed like it would collapse at any time under the pressure of the powerful force.
As soon as the Otherworldly Demon Waterleaf made his move, his cultivation was clearly not at Saint 1-dan or 2-dan but … 4-dan!
Primordial Spirit realm!
"You want to kill me?"
Facing the Otherworldly Demon Waterleaf's attack, Zhang Xuan wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he chuckled softly and said, "I'm sorry, but it's not up to you to decide whether I leave or not … On the other hand, you should lie down first!"
As he said those words, he snapped his fingers, just like he did back at Inkcloud Quarter.
Padah!
Right after those words were spoken, the body of the Waterleaf King suddenly stiffened, and he fell to the ground. His strength dissipated like a receding tide, and he curled up on the ground, spurting large mouthfuls of blood.
"You … you poisoned me?"
The Waterleaf King narrowed his eyes in disbelief as he stared at the fellow before him.
To think that he didn't even know when the other party had poisoned him!
"That's right! As a formidable King, how could I have subdued you without poisoning you? "Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
Through the Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan could only tell that the other party was an Otherworldly Demon. As such, he had to rely on the Library of Heaven's Path to verify the other party's identity.
By intentionally hugging the other party and luring the other party to drive his zhenqi, Zhang Xuan was able to obtain detailed information on the other party's flaws.
Just like the Goldenleaf King and Greenleaf King whom he had killed in the Subterranean Gallery, this fellow who had disguised himself as a human was actually an Otherworldly Demon King as well … the Waterleaf King!
A Saint 4-dan expert!
For such a powerful King to disguise himself as a human to appear in the Otherworldly Demon Kingdom … If Zhang Xuan didn't stop him, he would surely cause a huge commotion.
It was entirely possible that he could even wipe out Jingyuan City!
More importantly, even though Zhang Xuan's cultivation had increased significantly, it was unlikely that he would stand a chance against the Waterleaf King. Even if he could kill the Waterleaf King with the help of his puppets, it would surely cause a huge commotion. For safety's sake, he decided to lure the other party into drinking his' fine wine '.
The wine contained his Heaven's Path zhenqi, allowing him to turn it into lethal poison with a single thought.
Even though the Waterleaf King was smart enough not to drink his wine, he couldn't have imagined that the moment the jade bottle came into contact with his palm, he would be poisoned.
The Heaven's Path zhenqi was extremely pure. While Zhang Xuan was holding onto the jade bottle, he had infused a few surges of it into the Waterleaf King. Even if he were to scan the area with his Spiritual Perception, he wouldn't be able to detect it.
More importantly … he didn't expect it to be so!
No matter how formidable a poison master was, he would still need to use poison powder, gu insects, and the like as a medium. To infuse a lethal poison into one's zhenqi … This was something that he didn't dare to imagine.
"You … Let's die together!"
Seeing the other party admit to it so calmly, the Waterleaf King's face reddened. Roaring furiously, he slammed his palm against the ground and leaped into the air, grabbing at Zhang Xuan.
Seeing that the Waterleaf King was still intending to attack, Zhang Xuan cut to the chase and said, "Come down!"
Hong long!
With a tap of his finger, the Waterleaf King fell from the sky with a cry of agony. Crashing heavily onto the ground, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
The Heaven's Path zhenqi had seeped into the acupoints of his body. With just a thought, he would be able to kill the Waterleaf King instantly. The poison was so potent that not even grade-7 poison could compare to it. No matter how powerful the Waterleaf King was, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"What kind of poison is this?"
Realizing that something was amiss, the Waterleaf King gritted his teeth in disbelief.
For this mission, he had made many preparations and consumed many antidote pills. Logically speaking, ordinary poisons shouldn't have any effect on him.
It was one thing for him not to see when the other party had poisoned him, but to be unable to tell what kind of poison it was, this was a little frightening.
Could it be that he had already met a Seven Star poison master before the mission had even begun?
Wasn't the most formidable poison master in the Hongyuan Empire Poison Temple only a 6-star poison master?
Instead of answering the Waterleaf King's question, Zhang Xuan walked up to him and tapped his finger repeatedly, sealing the Waterleaf King's cultivation.
Knowing the other party's weakness and the fact that his Heaven's Path zhenqi had already seeped into his body, it wasn't too difficult for him to subdue the Waterleaf King.
After sealing his cultivation, Zhang Xuan opened his palm and grabbed forward. A small pill flew out of the Waterleaf King's mouth. The pill was wrapped in wax paper, and it wouldn't cause any harm to the Waterleaf King.
"You …"
Seeing the pill in the other party's mouth, the Waterleaf King's face warped in horror.
It was none other than the poison that he had used to commit suicide after he was captured.
Other than the few Otherworldly Demon Kings who were on the mission, no one else knew of it. Who in the world was the other party?
Not only did the other party know his name, he even knew such a confidential matter!
"Alright, I should be able to get some information out of him now!"
After destroying the lethal poison wrapped in wax paper, Zhang Xuan looked at the Waterleaf King with a smile.
The Goldenleaf King and Greenleaf King had died from this lethal poison after he subdued them. Since he was prepared for this, he wouldn't repeat the same mistake.
"Speak, where did you come from and what do you intend to do in Jingyuan City …"
After everything was ready, Zhang Xuan asked.
"You want me to speak? Dream on!"
The Waterleaf King gritted his teeth.
"You aren't going to speak? Simple … "
Lifting his eyelids, Zhang Xuan tapped his finger lightly, and several surges of zhenqi flowed into the Waterleaf King's body through his acupoints.
Tzzzzzzz!
As soon as the zhenqi flowed into the Waterleaf King's body, he immediately felt a bone-piercing pain, as if he had been bitten by thousands of venomous insects.
If it was just his physical body, he would still have been able to withstand it. However, the aura that the other party had sent into his body exerted immense pressure on even his soul, making him feel as if he would collapse at any moment.
"You want me to submit to a lowly being like you? Impossible …"
Suppressing the pain, the Waterleaf King gritted his teeth furiously. Then, with a furious roar, his body inflated as if a balloon.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the state the Waterleaf King was in, Zhang Xuan's face warped in horror. He hurriedly rushed forward to suppress the other party's strength, but in the next instant, the other party's body began shriveling at a visible rate. Following which, a soul identical to the Waterleaf King flew out from the other party's glabella.
"A soul?"
Sensing the powerful aura of the other party, Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before his eyes narrowed in astonishment. "No, it isn't a soul but … a Primordial Spirit!"
At Saint 4-dan Primordial Spirit realm, the Embryonic Infant in one's body would form a Primordial Spirit. Similar to a soul, it would be able to exist independently from one's physical body, allowing it to travel tens of thousands of miles in a single night.
In a moment of desperation, the Waterleaf King's physical body and cultivation had been suppressed by Zhang Xuan's Heaven's Path zhenqi, and in a moment of desperation, the other party actually abandoned his physical body and charged out with his Primordial Spirit.
However, before reaching Saint 5-dan, not only would it be difficult for one's Primordial Spirit to emerge from the other party's body, it might even result in the death of one's physical body.
"I will drag you down with me!"
After his Primordial Spirit left his body, the Waterleaf King roared frenziedly as he charged toward Zhang Xuan with a savage look on his face.
The current situation was certain death. Since that was the case, he had to drag this fellow down to hell with him!
The other party was only a Nascent Saint cultivator, and his soul was weak. As long as his Primordial Spirit entered the other party's body, he would be able to tear it apart easily!
Hu!
Before Zhang Xuan could react, the frenzied Primordial Spirit had already entered his glabella, and his body stiffened.
With a frenzied look on his face, the Waterleaf King was just about to devour the other party's soul when he suddenly froze.
"I will devour you … The heck, what is this? Why is it so huge? "
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes, and his body stiffened.
