Chapter 190 – Poison Kill

Under Yun Che’s conditioning, although none of Chu Yuechan’s meridians had been restored, her physical condition had gotten much better, and her face that was originally as pale as paper had already gained a faint color of blood. However, her entire body was still in a paralyzed state, with only her right arm and right hand being able to move in small increments. In this extremely dangerous place, Yun Che had not moved an inch from her in order to protect her.

Chu Yuechan should not eat too much at every meal, a small bowl of fish soup was already enough. After drinking the fish soup Chu Yuechan gently closed her eyes and crouched in front of Yun Che’s chest, her expression was very tranquil and peaceful …… Even she herself did not notice that this sense of peace of mind was even better than when she was in the sect’s secret realm submerged in seclusion.

In these five months, a large portion of her time was spent in sleep, and more time than sleep was spent in Yun Che’s arms. From initial rejection, to gradual adaptation, to complete habituation, and after habituation, it would unconsciously develop into attachment …… But the concept of “attachment”, Chu Yuechan was completely unaware of. Because before Yun Che, she had never been alone with any man, let alone any intimate contact. This time, however, she had been inseparable, skin to skin for nearly five months, which was simply unimaginable to the Chu Yuechan of the past.

At this moment, what kind of state of mind she was in when facing Yun Che, no one knew, not even herself.

“Sleep at ease for a while, in a short while, we’ll be able to leave this place. By then, all of your strength can be restored.” Yun Che gently patted Chu Yuechan’s pink back, his voice soft as if he was coaxing a baby who was about to sleep soundly.

Not too long later, Chu Yuechan’s breathing became even and gentle, and she had fallen into a light sleep.

Yun Che put away the things in his hand, stood up with Chu Yuechan in his arms, looked ahead and said, “Jasmine, how long have we been here?”

“Today is the one hundred and forty-first day.” Jasmine replied accurately.

“…… In that case, there’s less than a month before the Cang Feng Qualifying Battle.” Yun Che frowned as a slight anxiety rose in his heart. He had promised Lan Xueruo that he would definitely go back within half a year, and now, more than five months had passed, and he was still trapped in this trial land. Five months had passed, he had already adapted to this place, and to complete this level of the trial, all that was needed was time. However, to leave this place, he still had to kill more than ten thousand Xuan Beasts. None of these Xuan Beasts could be killed casually just because they wanted to, any one of them, could be a true and genuine Spirit Xuan Beast.

Moreover, after the second trial, there was a third trial.

Out of the trial place, still need a long time out of the death wilderness, out of the death wilderness, even if day and night, back to the Cangfeng Imperial City also need at least five days time ……

If he didn’t leave this place as soon as possible, he would not be able to catch up with the Cangfeng Ranking Battle and would not be able to honor his promise to Lan Xueruo.

“It looks like the progress must be accelerated… If we put our lives on the line, we must finish killing the remaining Xuan Beasts within ten days!” Yun Che said with a deep frown.

“Ten days? Hmph, what a joke! You still need to exterminate sixteen thousand Xuan Beasts in order to complete the trial, and if you want to complete it in ten days, you need to exterminate at least sixteen hundred every day! You have been exterminating an average of six hundred Xuan Beasts per day for these five months, this is already the limit of your speed with all your might, exterminating the remaining sixteen thousand Xuan Beasts in ten days is by no means possible……. If you are anxious and adventurous, and lose your composure, you may instead be killed by the Xuan Beasts in return.” Jasmine warned.

Yun Che was speechless.

“Roar!!!”

Suddenly, an ear-shattering roar came from far behind him, and this sound caused Yun Che’s brows to furrow before he secretly cursed, “Shit! How come it’s this guy again, it’s practically a ghost!”

After saying that, Yun Che didn’t even think about it and pulled his legs out to run. It wasn’t long before a gigantic one-horned Xuan Beast scurried past where he was standing before, carrying a gale of wind in pursuit of him.

Although he had stayed here for nearly five months, and had spent every day fighting with Xuan Beasts whose ranks were far superior to his own, Yun Che’s Xuan Power still remained at the fourth level of the True Xuan Realm. By no means did his Xuan power never show signs of breaking through, but rather, it had always been suppressed to death by him, preventing it from breaking through. This was because when his Xuan power broke through, he would be unable to move for a short period of time and could not be disturbed by anything, otherwise it would be extremely easy to cause damage to his Xuan vein. In this Endless Wasteland, where there is danger everywhere, not only will there be no one to guard him when he breaks through, Chu Yuechan will also be in the same dangerous situation as he is, so the breakthrough of Xuan Force has been suppressed by him.

Otherwise, with his daily and nightly level-crossing fights, coupled with the 54 Xuan Passes being fully open, in five months’ time, it would not be an exaggeration for his Xuan Power to be raised to the eighth level of the True Xuan Realm.

Although there had been no breakthrough, the suppressed Xuan power was also getting thicker by the day, and even without the Four Great Divine Powers in his body, his Xuan power, too, was far beyond that of an ordinary True Xuan rank four.

The Xuan Beast chasing him, named Overlord Unicorn, was a Spirit Xuan Realm Level 6 Xuan Beast with fierce strength and an incomparably tough body, and coupled with the strong Xuan Power protecting his body, it was difficult for Yun Che to injure it even with the Dragon Que. If Yun Che didn’t have Chu Yuechan by his side, he would still be able to maneuver around it, but he had to carry Chu Yuechan in one hand, and could only hold his sword in one hand, so he couldn’t possibly be a match for this Overlord Unicorn.

So the moment he encountered this fellow, Yun Che always turned around and ran.

Star God Shattering Shadow was an instantaneous Xuan Technique, not a long-lasting acceleration type Xuan Technique, so it didn’t allow Yun Che’s movement speed to increase greatly, but Yun Che usually carried an eight thousand kilograms of heavy sword, and when he wanted to run away, he only needed to throw his heavy sword towards the Heavenly Poison Bead, and then he would feel that his body was so light that it would almost float on its own, and running was even more of a windy affair, and it would just take a few minutes to get rid of this Hegemony Unicorn.

As Yun Che ran with all his might in front of him, the land under his feet quickly retreated, pulling the Overlord Unicorn farther and farther away. At this time, Jasmine’s warning tone suddenly came from his mind, “Be careful, there’s a cliff in front of us!”

As Jasmine’s voice fell, a cliff also appeared in Yun Che’s line of sight. Both of his eyebrows twisted, his speed plummeted, his feet stepped on the ground, and after a long period of skidding, he finally came to a close stop at the edge of the cliff, but immediately, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Because look down, this cliff is not high, less than fifty feet, he can easily jump down, under the cliff is not a dangerous place, but a dense forest …… or perhaps say forest is more appropriate, because in front of a sea of trees connected to the clouds and even the sky, even if you stand in the high place, you can’t see the edge at all.

“Plains, how can there still be a forest.” Yun Che casually recited a low sentence and was about to jump down, when suddenly, a dangerous strong wind came from his right side.

Yun Che’s gaze slanted, his right hand stretched out lightning fast, and his fingers pinched a thin, smooth, and cold thing in death.

It was a black thread snake that was less than long in length and only half a finger thick. It was firmly pinched by Yun Che’s seven inches, spitting out pitch-black letters as it painfully swayed and struggled.

“Emperor Black Thread Snake!” Yun Che, who knew all the poisons in the world, recognized this poisonous snake with a single glance.

The Emperor Black Thread Snake was very thin and short, with a fragile body, an ordinary little child would be able to trample it to death if they accidentally stepped on it. But such a fragile snake was not only labeled as an “Emperor”, it was also a genuine Spirit Xuan Beast! Because although it is fragile, but has incomparably terrifying toxicity and speed, if it is stained by its poisonous fangs, Spirit Xuan realm below, regardless of man or beast, within ten breaths must die. Even at the Spirit Xuan Realm, if one is bitten by it, without an antidote, it will be difficult to last more than half an hour. Coupled with its small body, it is difficult to be discovered, action is like a black lightning, so that people have no defense, any Spirit Xuan Beast, and even the Earth Xuan Beasts see it, will have to take a detour, avoiding the less than.

With the Heavenly Poison Pearl in his body, even if Yun Che was bitten by it, it wouldn’t matter half a bit. He stared at this Emperor Black Thread Snake, and suddenly turned around, facing the Overlord Unicorn that had already chased after him, handed the Emperor Black Thread Snake from his right hand to his left hand, and instantly quenched and sucked out all of its venom with the Heavenly Poison Bead, and then threw it away, taking out the Tiger Spirit Sword that he hadn’t used for a long time, and smeared the venom on the tip of the Tiger Spirit Sword.

“After the …… Heavenly Poison Pearl’s poisonous power disappeared, it seems like it’s the first time I’ve used poison.” Looking at the tip of the Tiger Spirit Sword, his mind flashed through the tragic picture of the year when the poison filled the whole city and the corpses were everywhere, his eyes quietly darkened for a minute, and then his body was like a swift wind, and he took the initiative to rush towards the Overlord Unicorn.

Seeing that this human, who usually fled when he saw it, actually took the initiative to welcome him this time, the Overlord Unicorn froze for a moment, and then let out a roar, its fangs exposed, and lunged towards Yun Che.

Whoosh!

The Overlord Unicorn’s sharp claws sliced through one of Yun Che’s shadows, and Yun Che’s real body was horizontally misaligned, rushing from its left side in a single stroke, and the Tiger Spirit Sword, which condensed Xuan Force, viciously slashed at the left side of its body, leaving a wound of about two inches, enough to see blood.

Yun Che stopped his body, and the Tiger Spirit Sword in his hand had been retrieved and replaced with the Dragon Que.

With the Overlord Unicorn’s gigantic body, this wound was not considered a wound at all. The Hegemonic Unicorn that made a lunge turned back around, its huge mouth opened wide, and its body lurched up once again, but just halfway through the lunge, its front foot suddenly tilted, and its entire torso fell onto the ground fiercely, and then began to convulse, it continuously stepped on the ground with all four limbs, but it was unable to get up no matter what, and gradually, it began to emit bursts of agonizing hissing from its mouth…… Within that small wound, drops of pitch-black blood slowly flowed out.

Yun Che rushed up and shattered its Xuan Force Defense, which was already fragile under the erosion of the intense poison, with a single sword, and then continuously blasted its head with seven or eight swords until it was no longer silent.

“I also don’t know when the Heavenly Poison Pearl’s poison power will recover.” Yun Che couldn’t help but sigh. Relying on a little bit of poison, he had almost effortlessly resolved this Overlord Unicorn that he could only escape from before. The terrifying nature of poison was clearer to him than anyone else. Back then, when he was less than thirty years old, yet he was able to survive the entire continent’s pursuit for seven whole years, what he relied on was the poison power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl. Under the Heavenly Poison Bead’s heavenly poison, countless strong people, even supreme strong people, whose strength was far superior to Yun Che by an unknown number of times, had all died at his hands.

“If the Heavenly Poison Bead’s poisonous power is still present, in this trial land, under the Heavenly Poison’s pervasive presence, not to mention ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine Xuan Beasts, even if it were to be multiplied by another ten times, all of them could be poisoned to death in a single night.” Yun Che said with great emotion.

As the Heavenly Poison Bead was a Xuan Heavenly Supreme Treasure, its heaven-defying features were more than just quenching.

Wait a minute…… Heavenly Poison pervades?

Yun Che’s spirit suddenly lifted, and his gaze looked towards the boundless forest below the cliff, and a short while later, he slowly smiled.

“Jasmine, believe it or not, if we are lucky, we can leave this place today.”
