’Exotic poison?’
Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
But to be safe, he first asked, "I wonder, what is the Hundred Poison Demon’s own cultivation level?"
"Hmph." Liu Zhishan sounded quite disdainful upon hearing the question. "He’s just an Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who took the crooked path of Poison Techniques. He can only bully some Qi Refining juniors."
"If it weren’t for that powerful Demon Soldier of his, I would have crushed him long ago."
’Oh-ho, this has to be me.’
’It’s like this Hundred Poison Demon knew I just reached Foundation Establishment and was short on resources, so he decided to make a delivery right to my doorstep.’
Xiao Chen immediately said, "What a coincidence. I happen to have learned an Antitoxic Secret Technique."
"Since that’s the case, could I ask you, Liu, to open the Array and let me go meet him?"
Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly tried to stop him. "Wait! Xiao, I appreciate your good intentions, but the Hundred Poison Demon’s poison is no small matter. It would be better to wait and plan this out."
’My opportunity is literally at the door, and you’re telling me to wait?’
’No, no, no. I can’t wait for a single moment.’
Xiao Chen patted his chest and assured him, "Don’t worry, friend. I never do things I’m not confident about."
"No matter what Exotic Poison he has, it’s all irrelevant to me."
As he spoke, he had already walked up to the pale blue Array.
Seeing this, Liu Zhishan gritted his teeth and opened the Array. "In that case, I’ll go out with you and provide support."
Xiao Chen asked, confused, "What do you mean? Does this Hundred Poison Demon have helpers?"
Liu Zhishan shook his head. "Not really. He only brought a dozen or so Qi Refining Stage minions."
"Then leave them all to me."
Xiao Chen quickly held out a hand to stop Liu Zhishan from following him.
Stepping out of the Array, he saw a group of Qi Refining cultivators in mismatched Magic Robes, rummaging through chests and cabinets, knocking on walls, and digging in the dirt in a nearby courtyard.
When they saw the Array open, this rabble immediately turned and fled.
Only a skinny cultivator in the distance, wearing a half-flipped Triangle Square Scarf on his head and a turquoise straight robe, looked over at him fearlessly.
At the same time, an obviously aggressive Divine Sense spread wantonly toward him.
"Aiyo, has the Liu Family run out of people?"
The Hundred Poison Demon laughed insolently. "Liu Zhiyuan doesn’t dare to come out himself, so he sent a greenhorn like you out to die."
He feigned ridicule while secretly circulating his Poison Technique, spreading the potent Meteorite Powder poison.
Meteorite Powder was formless, colorless, and odorless. Once inhaled, it would erode a cultivator’s Magical Power and gradually corrode their Meridians.
Xiao Chen took out the Divine Fire Summoning Banner and used his Divine Sense to repel the other party’s Investigation, instantly feeling much more at ease.
Judging from the strength of his Divine Sense, the opponent was also only at the first layer of Foundation Establishment.
While forming a Li Huo Thunder, he tried to fish for information. "Still barking like a mad dog. Who gave you the guts to attack a fellow member of my Li Huo Sect?"
Seeing this, the Hundred Poison Demon laughed inwardly and replied to stall for time, "Li Huo Sect? That’s hilarious. You’re just a bunch of slaves raised under a bandit chief."
"Sooner or later, my Luotian Sect will unify Li State."
"And we’ll turn all you mongrels into slop to feed the pigs."
Xiao Chen ignored his curses and continued preparing the Li Huo Thunder, retorting, "A Tribulation Cultivator like you has the gall to play the victim and call us bandits?"
The Hundred Poison Demon snorted coldly. "Hmph, I’m a Tribulation Cultivator? Back when Ancestor Li Huo came to Li State and seized my Luotian Sect’s Spirit Vein, was he not a Tribulation Cultivator?"
’Something like that happened?’
Xiao Chen had never heard of this before, mainly because there were no such records within the sect.
"HAHAHA!"
The Hundred Poison Demon suddenly burst out laughing. "Kid, you’re already poisoned!"
"How about it? My Meteorite Powder doesn’t feel too good, does it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen carefully sensed his body. "You already made your move? Why don’t I feel anything?"
But the Hundred Poison Demon was certain of his victory. "Kid, no need to act tough and pretend nothing’s wrong. Don’t try to be stubborn with me."
"Hurry up and crawl back into your Array. Go on being cowards with your heads in your shells."
Xiao Chen threw out the Divine Fire Summoning Banner with his left hand, and nine Fire Soldiers immediately descended.
He pointed a finger at the Hundred Poison Demon. "Fire Soldiers, heed my command! Kill!"
The Hundred Poison Demon was shocked. Under normal circumstances, his opponent should have already been invaded by his Meteorite Powder and have no strength left to attack.
He hurriedly reached into his robes, pulled out a Jade Bowl, and threw it toward the Fire Soldiers.
The Jade Bowl left his hand, growing larger as it flew. By the time it neared the Fire Soldiers, it was already ten zhang wide.
DONG!
