Dark Blood Poison
If Chu Xingyun's berating of Yan Du had shocked Tiger Chu and the rest, then Yan Du's actions had shocked them.
Chu Xingyun's attack on Yan Du had caused Tiger Chu and the others to fall into a daze. Their eyes lost their spirit.
The spiritual sword was extremely fast, arriving in front of Yan Du in the blink of an eye. The fierce wind caused his withered face to tremble slightly, his expression dark to the extreme.
Yan Du shifted his body, barely dodging the sword. He roared, "Stinking brat, you dare attack me? Are you looking to die?!"
Chu Xingyun didn't reply. His spiritual sword swept out, continuing to attack Yan Du.
Every strike of his sword was very fast and fatal. Just the flickering sword light alone illuminated the dark cave.
"Since you're looking to die, I'll fulfill your wish!" Yan Du roared. With a sweep of his sleeves, a purplish black poisonous smoke gushed out, enveloping Chu Xingyun.
"Patriarch, be careful!" One of the Chu family deacons cried out. They were in their current state because they had been hit by this poisonous smoke.
Unfortunately, as soon as he spoke, Chu Xingyun's body was completely enveloped by the poisonous smoke, and his figure could no longer be seen.
"There's a path to heaven, but you don't want to take it. There's no door to hell, so stupid." Yan Du laughed sinisterly. As he turned around, he felt a strong sense of danger coming from behind, causing him to instinctively dodge to the side.
Clang!
The sword pierced through the hard mountain wall, emitting a low sound. Yan Du frowned and turned around, only to see Chu Xingyun standing behind him, sword in hand, his body emitting waves of sword energy.
"You've been hit by my Hallucination Poison Smoke, how can you still stand?" Yan Du's face was filled with disbelief. Tiger Chu and the rest were the same. They clearly saw Chu Xingyun being completely enveloped by the poisonous smoke, so how could he be unharmed?
"The Illusory Poison Smoke is a slow-acting poisonous smoke. After inhaling it, it will immediately dissolve in the blood, causing the limbs to feel weak and powerless. As long as I seal my seven apertures to prevent the poisonous smoke from entering my body, it will naturally not affect me."
Chu Xingyun pointed his spirit sword at Yan Du and mocked, "You can't possibly be so naive as to think that a mere Illusory Poison Smoke can subdue me, right?"
"You..." Yan Du's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He had dominated West Wind City for more than ten years, and this was the first time that someone dared to look down on him. Moreover, the other party was a teenager.
Yan Du flicked his sleeve again, and a bloody venom with a strong stench sprayed towards Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xingyun merely glanced at it before continuing, "Corroding Spirit Powder. This poison is rather special. It doesn't dissolve in blood, but it dissolves in Spiritual Energy. It can spread throughout the entire body along with Spiritual Energy. In the end, it will cause the poisoned person's entire body to rot and die. It's even easier to detoxify this poison.
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun withdrew his Spiritual Energy and stepped forward.
When the bloody venom came into contact with his body, it indeed did not have any poisonous effect. It was as if rainwater had splashed onto his body.
At this time, Tiger Chu and all the attendants of the Chu family were so shocked that they were speechless. Twice, Chu Xingyun had detoxified Yan Du's attacks in a row, and did it so effortlessly. He was too strong.
Yan Du was so anxious that he constantly released poisons. However, every poison he released, as soon as it was released, would be immediately recognized by Chu Xingyun, and even explained the method to detoxify it.
Yan Du knew very well that Chu Xingyun was mocking him, but there was nothing he could do.
Not long after, Chu Xingyun arrived in front of Yan Du, his sword humming. As he attacked, he said with a smile, "I've long heard that Yan Du's poison skills are unparalleled. Seeing it today, I'm really disappointed. Of course, if you use the [Dismal Blood Poison], you may have a chance."
"Hmm?" Hearing the words [Dismal Blood Poison], Yan Du felt as if he was struck by lightning. His body became incomparably stiff, and he stared fixedly at Chu Xingyun.
Rip!
The Spiritual Sword pierced through the air, directly tearing Yan Du's arm. A wound appeared, and he immediately came back to his senses.
"I'll remember today's enmity!" Yan Du gritted his teeth, coldly staring at Chu Xingyun, as if wanting to imprint his face in the depths of his heart. His figure flickered, and he left the cave like the wind.
"He, he left?" Tiger Chu and the others were first stunned when they saw Yan Du's fleeing figure, then burst into cheers.
It was too shocking. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that Chu Xingyun, who was only at the fifth layer of Body Tempering, could push Yan Du, who was at the ninth layer of Spirit Gathering, to this extent, and even make him flee in panic.
If this matter were to spread, the entire West Wind City would be shaken!
"Young Master, when did you become so strong?" Tiger Chu walked over quickly, a strange light blossoming in his eyes. He suddenly had the feeling that he didn't know Chu Xingyun at all.
The attendants also cast puzzled gazes. One had to be in the earth spirit realm in order to defeat someone at the ninth layer of Spirit Gathering. Could it be that Chu Xingyun had been hiding his strength all this time?
Seeming to see through everyone's thoughts, Chu Xingyun laughed, "The reason I was able to defeat Yan Du was because of a trick. Haven't you noticed that Yan Du didn't use any spirit power from beginning to end?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard these words.
It wouldn't have mattered if Chu Xingyun hadn't mentioned it, but now that he had, they all realized this. Yan Du indeed hadn't used any spirit power, nor had he used any martial arts. He'd only used poison.
"When Yan Du approached me, I smelled a strange odor from his body. This odor came from a poison known as the Dark Blood Poison. The toxicity of this poison is exceedingly strong, and even a practitioner of the Spirit Gathering realm would be killed on the spot."
"Those who train in the art of poison must cultivate by consuming poison. The presence of the Dark Blood Poison emanating from Yan Du's body obviously meant that he'd consumed this poison. With his level of training, he must use all his strength to suppress this poison. The moment he relaxes, the Dark Blood Poison's poison will spread throughout his body and take his life in an instant."
Chu Xingyun's slow explanation made Tiger Chu and the others come to a sudden realization. No wonder Yan Du didn't dare to activate his spirit power. It was because he wanted to suppress the Dark Blood Poison and prevent the poison from spreading completely.
"Although we've driven Yan Du away now, with his personality, he'll definitely hold a grudge. Won't we still have to face him after he's digested the Dark Blood Poison?" Tiger Chu's heart trembled as he thought of the pervasive poisonous smoke. He started to shiver.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to wait until that day."
Chu Xingyun said confidently, "The Dark Blood Poison is extremely strong. With Yan Du's strength, he won't be able to digest it. Three days, in just three days, the poison will spread and form poison spots all over his body. Moreover, it will start to seep into his internal organs. At that time, he'll definitely die, unless …"
"Unless what? Young Master, do you have a way to cure the poison?" Tiger Chu asked curiously.
Chu Xingyun smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he slowly walked to the front of the poisoned enforcers and poured spirit power into their bodies.
Not long after, the enforcers' faces became much rosier and their bodies gradually recovered their strength.
"The Illusion Poison Smoke's toxicity isn't strong, so I've temporarily suppressed it for you. Now, let's go down the mountain immediately. When we return to Chu Town, I'll help you concoct the antidote. Today's matter must be kept a secret and must not be spread." Chu Xingyun warned.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded in response. After this incident, they admired Chu Xingyun even more. If it wasn't for him, all of them would've died at Yan Du's hands.
After packing up, the group left the mountain in a grandiose manner.
Before they left the mountain, Chu Xingyun intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the forest to the side, an indescribable smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
After Chu Xingyun's group left the mountain, a figure flashed out from the forest, exuding a dense poisonous aura. It was none other than Yan Du. It turned out that he hadn't left, but was hiding in the dark to eavesdrop.
"Who the hell is this kid? He actually saw through the Dark Blood Poison in my body with a single glance. He seemed to want to say something just now, could it be that he really knows how to cure the Dark Blood Poison?"
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Yan Du shook his head and rejected it.
