“Stop your futile struggle, what can mere Ice Soul Divine Iron do to me?”
The Carefree Old Man’s body writhed, and another silver needle was squeezed out.
The Storm Pear Flower Needles, which could kill an ordinary assassin of the Divine King Realm, could not destroy the vitality within the Carefree Old Man. His body was so robust that even the Storm Pear Flower Needles could not seriously injure him.
It seemed that the Carefree Old Man was intending to torture Lu Changsheng, not killing him directly, but to make him experience endless despair.
“Truly worthy of being the Carefree Old Man, not only is he a Yama-level assassin, but his body tempering is also formidable. Even such magical treasures can’t kill him.”
The Demon Chiefs of the Blood Sea Palace all praised him.
Among those in the Divine King Realm, the Carefree Old Man was a challenging opponent, mastering various tracking, stealth, and assassination techniques, as well as having a strong physique and first-class survival skills. As a third-tier Divine King, facing a newly advanced ninth-tier, no matter how talented the latter might be, escape was unlikely.
This was also why the Carefree Old Man was confident in tormenting Lu Changsheng and making him suffer abjectly.
“Oh no, the Carefree Old Man has cultivated the Buddhist Body Tempering Skills of the ‘Vajra Indestructible Scripture’, and he has trained it to a high level. Even if he stood still, Lu Changsheng would find it difficult to kill him.”
Lin Xuantong knew how strong the Carefree Old Man was with his great accomplishment in body tempering; even if Lin Xuantong himself faced him, there was no certainty of victory, not to mention Lu Changsheng, who had just entered the Divine King Realm.
Unless the Elder Ancestors of the Lin Clan or Jiang Clan stepped forward, it would only be possible to directly defeat the Carefree Old Man.
However, the Elder Ancestors of both the Lin Clan and the Jiang Clan were held up by Lin Beichen and could not spare any effort to deal with the Carefree Old Man.
“Master is in danger, maybe I can provide assistance.”
Su Xiaoqi merged with the heaven and earth, deciding to risk a sneak attack on the Carefree Old Man.
She took out the hidden magical weapon given to her by Lu Changsheng, staking it all.
“Xiaoqi, stop.”
Just as Su Xiaoqi was about to make her move, she was stopped by a secret signal from Lu Changsheng.
The Storm Pear Flower Needles could not injure the Carefree Old Man, let alone Su Xiaoqi, an assassin of the Immortal Emperor Realm, who would not be able to cause any harm and would just be throwing her life away.
The Carefree Old Man was a legendary assassin with a long-standing reputation, while Su Xiaoqi was inexperienced by comparison.
“But Master…”
“I have my ways.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes were resolute. The Carefree Old Man dodged five silver needles and was hit by two, growing careless.
The first seven of the Storm Pear Flower Needles were not tainted with the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, but starting with the eighth one, they were poisoned weapons.
“I refuse to believe it!”
Lu Changsheng feigned anger and shot out three more silver needles with the Storm Pear Flower Needles.
“Young man, how many times do you need to try before you realize the vast chasm between us?”
The Carefree Old Man sneered upon seeing Lu Changsheng making another attempt.
The Storm Pear Flower Needles couldn’t hurt him in the slightest.
No matter how many times Lu Changsheng tried, the result would be the same.
The Carefree Old Man didn’t even dodge, allowing himself to be struck by the Storm Pear Flower Needles.
With his robust physique and strong vitality, as long as he used a bit of True Qi, he could recover from the injuries.
The other Blood Sea Palace Elders were also amused.
“Kid, you think you can take on the Carefree Old Man?”
“Even ten of you wouldn’t be able to harm the Carefree Old Man.”
“Just wait for death. The Carefree Old Man is only toying with you and not killing you yet.”
“If you can defeat the Carefree Old Man, I’ll twist off my own head.”
These Blood Sea Palace Elders were extremely confident in the Carefree Old Man.
It was futile for Lu Changsheng to try any number of times.
The Carefree Old Man thought so too.
He was about to expel the three silver needles that had entered his body as before.
Suddenly, the Carefree Old Man’s heart violently trembled, and his face changed color.
“Your magical treasure is poisoned!”
The Carefree Old Man, as an experienced assassin, instantly understood that he had been poisoned.
He quickly sealed the meridian points throughout his body and took various Detoxification Pills.
But against the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, none of these Detoxification Pills were effective!
The Devouring Heaven Demon Poison rapidly corroded the Carefree Old Man’s meridians and flesh.
“What poison are you using?!”
Despair showed in the Carefree Old Man’s eyes.
He was a Yama-level assassin from the Underworld who had used countless poisons but had never seen such a strange poison. None of his Detoxification Pills could counteract it.
“Merely Devouring Heaven Demon Poison.”
Lu Changsheng’s mouth curved into a smile. This was the first time the Storm Pear Flower Needles were used in actual combat, and the Carefree Old Man had underestimated him, allowing himself to be hit by the poisoned Storm Pear Flower Needles.
If the Carefree Old Man had dodged, Lu Changsheng would indeed have had a hard time poisoning him.
The Carefree Old Man had not discounted the possibility that Lu Changsheng’s hidden weapons might be poisoned, but he was overly confident in himself, owning thousands of Detoxification Pills and cultivating the ‘Vajra Indestructible Scripture’, which made him impervious to all poisons.
However, this did not include the top ten extreme poisons of the Strange Poison List.
“Devouring, Devouring Heaven Demon Poison…”
Upon hearing this name, the Carefree Old Man felt like he had plunged into an ice pit, utterly despairing.
The sixth strangest poison in the world, even Great Experts with unkillable bodies, once poisoned by Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, would either die or be gravely injured.
The Carefree Old Man could not contend with such a strange poison.
“Quick, give me the antidote! I am willing to trade all the treasures on me for the antidote!”
At this moment, the Carefree Old Man was no longer concerned about the vendetta of killing his disciple; he even knelt down to beg Lu Changsheng for mercy.
The Demon Chiefs of the Blood Sea Palace were all profoundly shocked.
Just a moment ago, the Carefree Old Man, who seemed invincible, was now pleading with Lu Changsheng for his life.
