Chapter 27: Poison on the Sword

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sizzle!

When the wine-red [Blood Corrosion] splashed on Mu Zhang’s body, a loud burning sound immediately sounded.

White smoke rose from Mu Zhang’s body.

“Hmm?” Mu Zhang’s expression changed. He looked down. He discovered that the Qi and blood surrounding his body began to turn black after being splashed by this wine-red poison. It emitted a terrifying high temperature as if it had been corroded. “This is... poison!?”

He instantly realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly circulated his blood and qi in an attempt to dispel this poison.

However, not only did he not succeed, but as his blood circulated, it caused the poison to spread even faster. In an instant, it spread throughout his entire body, causing all the blood and qi he released to be corroded.

“How... How is this possible!!”

Mu Zhang was anxious. He had never seen or even heard of such a lethal poison. And what terrified him the most was that not only did the poison corrode the blood and qi surrounding his body, but it was also spreading into his body.

Once the blood in his body was corroded, the consequences were unimaginable!

Mu Zhang was also a ruthless person. He made a prompt decision. He directly cut off all the Qi and blood outside his body. With a pale face, he quickly retreated to escape the corroded Qi and blood.

Sizzle!

The blood and qi were still burning. Thick white smoke came out.

Mu Zhang’s expression instantly became dispirited. He was in an extremely weak state. After all, the blood and qi he released took up 90% of all his blood and qi. There was only 10% left in his body!

This 10% of blood and qi could only save his life.

“What kind of poison is this!! There’s actually such a poison in this world!?”

His mind was in turmoil. He was deeply shocked by the horror of this poison. In just a few seconds, it had corroded all the qi and blood he had released.

Such a strong poison was definitely a nightmare for Martial Entry-Level martial artists! He could also cut off the corroded blood and qi in time when his blood and qi were released. If it was a Martial Entry-Level martial artist of another level, once their blood and qi was corroded, they would definitely die.

Mu Zhang’s back was drenched in cold sweat and he felt a lingering fear in his heart. He had almost been traded for one at the Martial Entry-Level Seven. If he really died in this guy’s hands, it would be too laughable.

However, even if he survived, the price was still very tragic. He only had 10% of his blood and qi left. It would take at least two to three years to recover.

“This fellow is so extraordinary. He must have something good on him. It should be able to compensate for my losses.” Mu Zhang thought to himself.

As he walked towards Xiao Shi, who had been blasted to the ground by him, he prepared to go over and harvest the relics. However, he had just taken a step forward.

Xiao Shi, who had fallen to the ground, stood up.

Mu Zhang suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. He let out a shocked cry. “This is impossible!”

His punch had already shattered his sternum. No matter how extraordinary his body was, it was impossible for him to stand up!

After Xiao Shi stood up from the ground, his body was still a little shaky, but he quickly stabilized himself. His pale face was constantly ruddy, causing his face to gradually return to normal. On his chest, one could still see the shocking collapse. His broken sternum and broken arm were healing at a visible speed.

This strange scene immediately caused an indescribably strong impact on Mu Zhang’s mind! Even though he knew that the night patroller had a certain recovery ability at night, but it could not be so exaggerated!

Based on Xiao Shi’s current recovery speed, it would take at most a minute for all of his injuries to recover.

This kind of recovery was enough to make people despair.

Xiao Shi felt the shocking recovery brought about by the Recovery Pill.

Peerless quality medicinal pills were indeed extraordinary. No matter how serious his injuries were, as long as he did not die, he could recover in a short period of time. At the same time, when he saw the effect of the Blood Corrosion on the other party, he knew that he had made the right decision.

Blood Corrosion was not as simple as being able to corrode blood. Its true function was mainly to corrode blood and qi. If it was used against other Martial Entry-Level martial artists, the usage of Blood Corrosion often needed to be applied to weapons.

Only when the weapon cut through the skin and touched the flesh could it be of use. If he splashed it directly like this, it would not have any effect if it only touched his skin. However, the release of qi and blood at the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level made it easier to use the Blood Corrosion. It could touch the qi and blood and corrode it.

It could be said that this poison had an extremely strong restraining effect on martial artists at the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level.

Coupled with the Peerless Recovery Pill in his hand, as long as he could withstand the other party’s punch and not die, he would have a chance to turn the tables!

The risk of this operation mainly depended on whether he could withstand the other party’s punch.

Although the attacks of a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist were terrifying, Xiao Shi still had a certain level of confidence in his body after tempering it.

And the result was just as he had expected.

Although this punch severely injured him, it did not directly kill him. Now, his injuries were constantly recovering, and the collapse in his chest was gradually recovering.

Under the corrosion of the Blood Corrosion, the other party only had 10% of his blood and qi left and was in a dispirited state.

The situation had completely reversed.

Xiao Shi had two choices.

The first was to run away. With Mu Zhang’s current state, he no longer had the ability to stop him from escaping.

The second was to attack and try to kill him.

From the killing intent in Xiao Shi’s eyes, Mu Zhang already knew his choice.

“He wants to kill me!” Mu Zhang felt a sense of absurdity.

A seventh-stage Martial Entry-Level actually wanted to kill a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level! What a joke!

Although he only had 10% of his blood and qi left, it was not easy for Xiao Shi to kill him in a short period of time. He only needed to think of a way to stall for time until the other ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artists on the mountain rushed over to save him.

Thinking of this, he decisively took out the Distress Jade and crushed it.

“If he wants to kill me, it will take at least ten minutes. The reinforcements will arrive in five minutes. I can guide him to attack.” Mu Zhang’s eyes flashed, and he deliberately put on a weak expression, trying to lure Xiao Shi into attacking him.

It was unknown if his disguise had worked or if Xiao Shi’s original intention was to kill him. Xiao Shi picked up the Black Gold Sword again and threw it at Mu Zhang.

“He took the bait!” Mu Zhang smirked.

Under Xiao Shi’s throw, the entire black gold sword turned into a golden light and whistled over at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, it arrived in front of Mu Zhang.

...

Just as Mu Zhang was about to raise his hand to block, Xiao Shi muttered in his heart in the distance. Explode!

The mark that Xiao Shi had quietly condensed on the dark golden sword was instantly detonated by him.

This caused the dark golden sword that was already covered in cracks to explode at this moment, turning into countless fragments that scattered and shot towards Mu Zhang in front of him.

Although Mu Zhang did not expect Xiao Shi to do this, he did not panic in the face of danger and quickly protected the vital parts of his body.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Many fragments flew and pierced his flesh. However, under his protection, they were only superficial wounds and were not fatal.

But at this moment, Mu Zhang suddenly realized that something was wrong. He realized that the Qi and blood in his body began to emit a burning sound. It quickly turned black and was corroded. “The sword... is poisonous!!”

His expression changed drastically. After these fragments pierced into his flesh, the venom on them quickly spread to his blood and Qi. When the blood and qi released was corroded, it could still be severed. Once the blood and qi in one’s body was corroded, one could only wait for death.

Mu Zhang’s face was filled with fear as he completely panicked. He did not have much Qi and blood in his body to begin with. Under the corrosion of the venom, death was approaching step by step.

“No!!” He let out a miserable scream.

Plop.

...

His body fell heavily to the ground.

All the blood and qi in his body was corroded and he died on the spot.
