Chapter 255 - Terrifying Poison Technique

Nangong Yue’s name brought a look of pain to Chen Zhengqing’s eyes.

“Yue’er...”

Chen Zhengqing raised his head, looked at Zhao Ru, and asked, “How is Yue’er doing?”

“She’s dead!” Zhao Ru said coldly.

“Impossible!” roared Chen Zhengqing like an enraged lion.

“Hmph!” Zhao Ru snorted coldly and said, “Chen Zhengqing, I won't waste words with you. Consider yourselves unfortunate for crossing paths with me today! I'll capture both of you and deliver you to that person from the Qin Clan. With their backing, my Zhao Clan will ascend to greater heights."

Suddenly, Chen Fan’s icy voice rang out. “Capture my father and me? Trash at the seventh level like you?”

He stared at Zhao Ru with a cold gaze and said, “Since you’ve harmed my father in the past, I’ll take your life today. As for the others, I'll hunt them down one by one and make them pay for their sins, including that person from the Qin Clan you mentioned!”

“Such conceit!” shouted Zhao Ru with an unusually sharp gaze. “Die, you little bastard!”

Before his voice fell, Zhao Ru had already struck out.

His cultivation erupted, and a burst of qi stormed out. Behind him, his primeval force transformed into a massive devil with a menacing aura reaching the skies.

This devil, clad in battle armor and wielding a poisonous spear, boasted three heads and six arms—it had a ferocious appearance. Opening its mouth, it released an endless stream of poisonous qi.

Zhao Ru struck out with a palm. It was as if the huge palm had captured the sky, shaking the heavens.

Numerous cracks appeared on the ground of the Zhao Clan mansion, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure from this palm strike.

Zhao Ru was mighty, even a notch above Lei Tao.

“Myriad Poison Palm Seal!”

Zhao Ru retracted his palm and struck out with the other. The sky crumbled, and the earth cracked. It seemed like he was transforming the world into a highly toxic realm.

“Watch out, Xiaofan. The Myriad Poison Cultivation Technique is exceptionally vicious. Even a whiff of the poison qi is enough for it to target your heart. It will make you lose your cultivation and become pus,” warned Chen Zhengqing. He used to be close to Zhao Ru and knew the hazardous nature of his cultivation technique.

When Zhao Ru unleashed his cultivation, clouds of poisonous qi would form that could poison others easily. It was very powerful.

Weaker individuals nearby unwittingly inhaled the toxic qi, and darkness swiftly appeared on their faces.

Clearly poisoned, they screamed miserably, foaming at the mouth, and soon succumbed to the poison. The corpses of these victims swiftly decayed, turning into pus, highlighting the power and horror of the poisonous technique.

Only a trace of the poisonous qi had spread to the onlookers, but even martial artists at the seventh and eighth levels of the Qigong realm were losing their lives to it.

Facing Zhao Ru's concentrated attack, Chen Fan found himself in a dangerous situation. The poison could even kill experts at the fifth level of the Yuanfu realm.

Zhao Ru laughed and said, “Sinful bastard, I once killed a Yuanfu realm expert at the eighth level with a palm. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you with my poison. After all, I have to capture you alive and send you to the Qin Clan.”

No one would have expected that the scholarly Zhao Ru practiced such a vicious and terrifying cultivation technique.

However, facing Zhao Ru’s attack, Chen Fan showed no signs of fear. He said, “A paltry poisonous technique. Nothing but an unorthodox method.”

As he rubbed his hands together, the Heaven Piercing Spear immediately rotated fiercely, creating a whirring sound in the air.

“Go!”

With a smack of his palm, he shot the Heaven Piercing Spear with a spinning force. It pierced through space, producing a sharp whistling noise.

The spear's tip scraped violently against the air. The air ignited, creating a layer of flames around the spear. It collided forcefully with the Myriad Poison Palm Seal, resulting in a resounding boom.

Boom ka!

This spear from Chen Fan was incredibly terrifying. Its power was like a torrent pouring down. It easily pierced through the Myriad Poison Palm Seal, reducing it to pitch-black poisonous qi.

Simultaneously, the Wings of Rain Dragon spread from his back, generating a fierce hurricane that swept the poisonous qi toward Zhao Ru, Zhao Kongming, and the others and enveloped them.

Immediately, the Yuanfu realm experts from the six great allied clans fell to the poisonous qi.

“Ahhh...”

The poisonous qi got to their hearts. One after another, they let out miserable cries, falling to the ground and even corroding its surface.

“Hurry, Detoxification Pill. Take a Detoxification Pill.”

“Give me a Detoxification Pill. I don’t want to die.”

“......”

Zhao Kongming and the others had robust cultivation. Although the poisonous qi invaded them, they immediately suppressed it and hurriedly consumed a Detoxification Pill. They expelled the poisonous qi but were severely weakened, their complexions ghastly pale.

The poison took the lives of another seven or eight Yuanfu realm experts.

Since Zhao Ru practiced poisonous techniques, the poisonous qi did not affect him. However, Chen Fan’s spear attack left him in disarray. Looking shocked, he spewed a mouthful of blood.

Chen Fan ignored Zhao Kongming and the others and rushed toward Zhao Ru.

“Did you think being at the seventh level makes you invincible? It’s not like I haven’t killed one before! You’re not the first—die!”

Wielding the Heaven Piercing Spear, Chen Fan executed an exceptional strike.

Boom ka!

The spear's power resembled a surging mountain torrent and the galloping of thousands of horses. The space quivered violently, appearing on the verge of collapse under its force.

Zhao Ru's face reflected horror.

“What kind of power is this?”

His cultivation was at the peak of the seventh level, just a step away from the eighth level.

His poisonous technique was incomparably powerful, and it had even once killed a newly advanced Yuanfu realm expert at the eighth level.

Even so, he realized his poisonous technique was ineffective against Chen Fan.

Chen Fan absorbed the poisonous qi, yet it was like a clay ox entering the sea, not even producing any bubbles. [1]

What was even more terrifying was Chen Fan’s strength.

A single spear attack left Zhao Ru feeling like the grim reaper had descended. The aura of death shrouded him, making his hands and feet cold.

“You...”

Seeing Chen Fan’s terrifying spear stabbing at him, Zhao Ru was at a loss for words. He nearly thought he was in a dream.

Zhao Ru roared furiously, bringing forth layers of palm silhouettes with an earth-shattering momentum, attacking Chen Fan.

“You’re only at the sixth level. Even if you’ve practiced some incredible cultivation techniques, the difference in our cultivation is too big. Die! Heavenly Fiend Poisonous Palm first style, Soul Catcher Life Stealer!”

However, his attacks were as weak as tofu under Chen Fan's Heaven Piercing Spear, easily torn apart.

“Second style, Obliterated Limbs!”

“Third style, Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!”

“Fourth style, Devastating Thousand Army!”

“Fifth style, Descent of the Poison God!”

Zhao Ru revolved his Myriad Poison Cultivation Technique to the limit. Above his head, the silhouette of the poison god emerged, entirely shrouded in a thick layer of poisonous qi, capable of poisoning and extinguishing all life in the world.
