Chapter 249: The True Strength of a Snake-level and a Martial Saint! (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was unbelievable that this Nine Nether Mansion’s Guardian could poison a
Three Fiend Martial Saint with poison alone.
Their ancestor was only a Second Fiend Realm Martial Saint. Didn’t this mean that if Xing Chen came knocking on their door, they wouldn’t be able to resist?
If the people who came were martial artists, even a top-notch Martial Saint at the perfection of the Seven Fiend would not dare to rashly attack them in the prefecture capital of a prefecture. This was because they were slapping the Imperial Court’s face.
However, if it was a demon, he probably wouldn’t have so many scruples.
“Calm down. Don’t worry too much. Although I haven’t reached the Three Fiend Realm and can’t condense a Lesser Divine Power, my Blazing Sun True Astral is close to perfection. If I really fight with my life and use the Sun True Astral, I won’t be inferior to a Lesser Divine Power.”
“The Fire Fiendish Qi and the Extreme Yang Astral Qi can restrain demons and anomalous creatures to begin with. Moreover, there’s a sufficient stock of Demon Breaking Arrows. If Xing Chen really attacks without distinguishing between right and wrong, he won’t be in a good situation.”
He Wuji saw that He Tianran was in a daze and took the initiative to comfort him.
“Since the ancestor said so, I… Hmm? What’s going on? Ancestor, my body…” He
Tianran heaved a sigh of relief and suddenly felt weak. He sat back on the chair.
“Tianran?” He Wuji’s expression changed, and black smoke suddenly surged on his face.
“Oh no!”
He Wuji’s face was red as if it was on fire. A large amount of Fire Fiendish Qi seeped out of his body.
“It’s Xing Chen?! He’s here!”
He Wuji reacted. To be able to cause a Martial Saint Martial Artist like him to be affected without any warning and for the poison to take effect in his body, causing the protective fiendish qi to react, it was definitely not ordinary poison.
“Xing Chen, since you’re here, why don’t you show yourself?” He Wuji said loudly and looked around at the same time.
“Without waiting for my poison to act up, how can I dare to appear casually? After all, your Sun True Astral is indeed comparable to a Lesser Divine Power. I don’t want to try the power of a martial artist’s Lesser Divine Power.”
At this moment, a slightly feminine voice sounded from the back of the living room.
He Wuji suddenly turned his head and saw a young man in a green robe sitting diagonally in an armchair, playing with a jade slit ring in his hand.
He looked to be in his early twenties. He was handsome and could even be said to be beautiful. His face was as fair as jade. It was simply to the extent that women would be envious of him. Ordinary people would look tacky in the green robe. When he wore it, he had an indescribable noble aura.
He was clearly a frivolous young master, not a ferocious demon.
“Could it be that your Nine Nether Mansion really wants to directly…” He Wuji’s expression was gloomy. The Fire Fiendish Qi had expelled most of the poison in his body, but it still had a certain effect on him. Originally, poison was almost useless to martial artists at his level, but Xing Chen’s poison was really too strong.
“Shh!” Xing Chen extended her index finger in front of her lips, indicating for him to keep quiet. At the same time, she pointed at He Tianran, who was beside He wuji.
He Wuji hurriedly turned around and saw He Tianran, the most outstanding junior of the He family, lying in the armchair with a dark expression and foaming at the mouth.
“You!” He Wuji was furious. He originally thought that even if it was a demon, he should at least go through the process and ask. If he could not reach a unanimous agreement, he would attack. He did not expect this Guardian of Nine Nether Mansion to be a f*cking lunatic. He poisoned him the moment he arrived.
Splash!
However, He Wuji had no time to say anything now. He hurriedly walked forward and placed his hand on He Tianran’s chest. He used the pure true qi and powerful fiendish qi of a Martial Saint Martial Artist to remove the poison for him. Powerful true qi circulated in He Tianran’s body, bringing with it the sound of surging waves.
As his true qi circulated, waves of black qi seeped out of He Tianran’s chest before being burned by the Fire Fiendish Qi.
“Squeak squeak!”
When the black poisonous gas was burned to ashes, it let out an extremely strange sound. He Wuji looked over and saw that the poisonous gas was actually countless tiny insects. He could not help but be shocked.
“What is this?!”
“Ah! It’s so itchy!”
At this moment, earth-shattering screams suddenly sounded around the living room. All the He family martial artists lying in ambush were not spared.
He Wuji’s expression was gloomy. When He Tianran’s aura stabilized slightly, he looked at the green-robed young man sitting upright in the armchair. “What exactly do you mean?!”
Xing Chen smiled and said calmly, “I don’t have that much time, so you answer my questions. As long as your answers satisfy me, I’ll leave. Now, the first question is, who killed Jin Wuxin?”
“I don’t know! Our He family also lost a Five Qi Grandmaster and suffered heavy losses. You shouldn’t be looking for the He family, but the Furious Flood Dragon Gang. Jin Wuxin was severely injured after going to the Furious Flood Dragon Island.” Although He Wuji was extremely angry, he still suppressed his anger and answered Xing Chen’s question.
“What to do is my problem. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.” Xing Chen raised her eyebrows and continued, “Next question, why did your He family appear in Fanlin Town?”
“He Xuan acted on his own. I’m also investigating the cause of his death. Someone from the Xue family died in Fanlin Town. You should look for the Xue family,” He Wuji said.
“Other than not knowing anything, you really like to teach me how to do things!” Xing Chen’s expression gradually darkened.
“Since that’s the case, you… can die!”
Xing Chen suddenly attacked.
“Boom!”
A large amount of black gas that seemed to have materialized surged out of Xing Chen’s body and instantly transformed into a huge black snake that was more than ten meters long. The black snake was as thick as an adult’s waist and had sharp black spikes on its head. Its tail was a strange black hook that was suffused with a dark purple cold light.
With a light sweep, the black snake created a huge hole in the wall of the living room. It roared and opened its mouth to bite He Wuji.
Indestructible Black Snake!
He Wuji’s expression changed drastically. This was a powerful ability that only snake-level experts in the divine weapon system could master.
The greatest characteristic of the Snake-level was the condensation of the black membrane, turning it into a black snake to protect its body. This black snake was not a living creature and had the ability to constantly regenerate. All the damage that landed on its body would be transferred to the Indestructible Black Snake. As long as the Indestructible Black Snake was still around, its main body would never die. It was divided into nine realms, divided into the lower, middle, and upper realms.
Just from the way Xing Chen used the Indestructible Black Snake, it was obvious that he was about to advance from the second to the third level of the lower three levels.
The other party had not only come to question Jin Wuxin about his death but also probably wanted to treat him as food for advancement.
“I’ll fight it out with you!!” He Wuji suddenly retracted his hand from He Tianran. At this moment, he couldn’t care less about saving his outstanding junior. As long as he didn’t die, the prefecture capital’s He family wouldn’t fall.
As long as the commotion was slightly bigger, the Martial Saints in the city would definitely not sit back and watch the battle in the City Lord Manor in the center of the inner city.
Blazing Sun True Astral!
Boom!
Han Zhao sat cross-legged in the study in the backyard of the Xu residence.
At this moment, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion in the inner city.
He quickly walked out of the study and flew to the roof.
Under his powerful eyesight, he realized that the entire City Lord Manor had exploded with a bang. Countless translucent purple fragments flew out and disappeared without a trace.
Boom!!
In the next second, a scorching and dazzling ball of light appeared out of thin air, like a small sun in the night.
“That’s… Astral Qi?!” Han Zhao’s eyes widened. With the Connate Astral Qi, he immediately realized that this power was condensed from extremely pure Astral Qi.
The dazzling ball of light first shrank slightly before turning into a huge fireball with a diameter of more than 20 meters.
In an instant, a huge fireball soared into the sky.
At this moment, a purple pillar of light pierced through the fireball from below and pierced into the sky.
The huge fireball exploded with a bang, turning into countless small fireballs the size of a human head that splattered in all directions.
Fortunately, the inner city was where the experts of the prefecture capital gathered. A large number of martial artists used their true qi to stop them, so the entire inner city did not turn into a sea of flames.
“This is the strength that Snake-level and Martial Saints can unleash? Could it be a divine weapon?!”
Han Zhao’s eyes widened. After pondering for a moment, he did not immediately go forward to check the situation..
