Chapter 678 - 320: The Evil of Huo Ranhua (Part 2)

And this group of mere cultivators from the Middle Condensed Water Realm in the cave will definitely not be able to compete with her stronger prowess!

But he also instantly realized that although Huo Ranhua is in the Condensed Water Perfection Realm, she definitely couldn’t beat sixteen cultivators from the Middle Condensed Water Realm. She would surely play dirty using her nice-girl facade, and her schemes and provocations were already infiltrating the treasure-hunting teams below ground!

Miss Xueruo is in danger!

You Su felt a chill down his spine, terrified by the deviousness of this woman’s thoughts.

But now he faced a difficult choice—whether to save Ji Xueruo in the cave or to stop this unnecessary war?

"Huo Ranhua! You bitch! I’ll kill you!"

Qu Zhaixing looked mad, constantly cursing, thinking it was Huo Ranhua’s fault he was attacked by Ao Yunlie and eventually burned into this inhuman, ghostly state by the Fire Armadillo.

But You Su looked at him and felt no pity whatsoever.

Qu Zhaixing was too clever for his own good, and this was merely the price he paid for his own greed and desires.

Meanwhile, the Fire Armadillo also joined the fray, crashing through the crowd.

It didn’t know why these ants began fighting among themselves; it only knew it wanted to destroy this annoying group of ants completely.

You Su was stunned and lost in thought, the sounds of slaughter continued in his ears, the hatred and fury of these people only exacerbated as the battle intensified, and even the torrential rain could not extinguish the blazing flames of war.

He only felt great sadness and helplessness, already having made a decision in his heart.

"Don’t go, Mr. You! Don’t go! I’m a good person, I’m innocent! I didn’t mean to harm Ao Yunlie! Save me! Save me!"

Qu Zhaixing watched You Su go away, struggling to crawl on the ground, his fingers skinned by rocks, exposing bare bones, but he still refused to give up this last hope of survival.

You Su turned back to grab his neck, coldly looking at this so-called ’good person’:

"Ao Yunlie is generous and righteous. If he realized he wrongly accused you, he would save you, but you must make sure he’s alive. So, go explain to them yourself! If you can stop them, you live; if not, you die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quietly cut his finger and merged a drop of his blood into the white spirit fruit pulp, then fed it to Qu Zhaixing.

The only medicine You Su could think of to instantly restore Qu Zhaixing’s near-death condition was his own blood.

The power of the True Lord’s followers brought Qu Zhaixing back to life, and he looked fearfully at the boy in front as if seeing a deity.

"You mustn’t speak of anything about me. Even if you die, you must tell them the truth!"

You Su issued an absolute command, then casually flung Qu Zhaixing aside. He glanced at the chaotic battlefield once more and then resolutely rushed toward the dark pit.

Among these people, there were both good and bad, but in You Su’s heart, they could never compare to the person he cherished.

Using the power of the followers to have Qu Zhaixing mediate was already the limit of what he could do.

Without hesitation, You Su leaped into the pit.

...

The dim cave flickered with candlelight like a bean.

Huo Ranhua, in a light floral dress, elegantly folded her hands in front of her abdomen.

Her brows and eyes were raised, looking condescendingly at the defiant girl slumped against the wall in black.

Around the cave lay fifteen bodies, all silent.

"You’re not afraid of poison?"

Huo Ranhua asked with interest. Now that no one could compete with her for what lay behind that door, she seemed quite leisurely.

Ji Xueruo, however, did not answer her, glaring venomously at this stunning woman. Speaking would mean inhaling more poison; she barely resisted passing out by holding her breath.

Earlier, the treasure-hunting team had discovered the ultimate door, but then suddenly someone from the Human Race violently attacked the Demon Race, causing the harmonious team to fall into chaos.

Ji Xueruo was caught up in the battlefield, unable even to approach the door, and had to fend off these crazed attacking cultivators.

She truly couldn’t understand, even though anyone who obtained the final inheritance would share the secrets of the Celestial Awakening Realm, why should they fight to the death, vying to be the one who truly obtains the opportunity?

Yet in the chaos, no one noticed a fragrant sedative silently wafting into the sealed cave.

Following this, cultivators fighting hard began to fall, but Ji Xueruo, who was on the outskirts of the battlefield, noticed something was wrong and held her breath early.

Seeing Huo Ranhua appear now, Ji Xueruo instantly understood that the poison was her doing, and Huo Ranhua must have taken an antidote long ago.

Huo Ranhua took gentle steps, leaned down to scrutinize Ji Xueruo’s face, and said disdainfully:

"You don’t seem to like me, do you? I chatted with so many female cultivators, but only you were cold. Why, do you really think you’re too lofty to reach?"

"What a pity, what a pity, even a beautiful beast must understand its position, being so pretty, yet still a beast at heart, isn’t it?"

After speaking, Huo Ranhua straightened up and said with a smile:

"Actually, I have no deep grudge against you Demon Race folks. It’s them who harbor mutual hate; the way things turned out has nothing to do with me. The one you should hate is the person who stands in your way, not the fisherman who profits at the end, right?"

Ji Xueruo was burning with anger, but the poison was incredibly potent, making her muscles weak and unable to even transform.

After all, poison cultivators have long been classified as evil cultivators, killing them is justified, but who would’ve thought a Fairy of the righteous path would carry such lethal poison onto the island?

Huo Ranhua turned, seemingly losing interest in the silent Ji Xueruo, but just when Ji Xueruo thought she was going to open the door in preparation to attack, Huo Ranhua suddenly turned back!

She softly gestured a spell, casting an Immobilization Skill on Ji Xueruo, then laughed lightly and stepped solidly on Ji Xueruo’s abdomen with her foot.

Ji Xueruo curled up in pain, forced to release her last breath and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Why can’t you just be obedient? Why seek your own death?"

"This poison can’t kill, "

With a victor’s demeanor, Huo Ranhua brazenly said, "My master’s Flower Seal Skill is unmatched, yet heavily restricted, but she still defeated many; do you know why?"

"Because she was also a poison cultivator! The greatest in all Five Continents! Every time she cast the Flower Seal Skill, she would release a poison mist around her, using it to protect herself. Her poison was already masterful; others thought those corroded were from the powerful Flower Seal Skill, unaware it was the combined effect of Flower Seal and flower poison. Do you know why no one realized she was a poison cultivator?"

"Because she’s beautiful... My master was so lovely and gentle, who could bear to think of her as a venomous snake or scorpion who associates with poison?"

Huo Ranhua grabbed Ji Xueruo’s hair, lifting her head and laughed:

"Actually, it’s quite fair. What your master left you were magical treasures, reaching the skies and the earth, while the poison my master gave me, potent as it is, is just another kind of magical treasure, isn’t it?"

Finally receiving acknowledgment from someone, Huo Ranhua couldn’t help but question and answer herself, intoxicated by the joy of her perfect calculations.

Ji Xueruo simply looked at her coldly, then spat at her, which was the most forceful resistance she could muster at the moment.

Huo Ranhua’s expression immediately twisted into near sickness.

She hurriedly covered her spattered right cheek, feeling a piercing pain and quickly took out a self-glowing mirror. She saw decaying sores appearing on her delicate face.

And the tossed aside Ji Xueruo only smirked, looking at her disdainfully.

She prided herself on being the disciple of a venomous snake, yet forgot that her plaything was also a genuine viper.

While contemplating the authentic form of the Demon Race, Ji Xueruo constantly wondered what her nearly perfect snake body was missing.

It wasn’t until she recalled the experience at the Jade Ring Pool with You Su that she realized, for a warlock reliant on skills, she missed the unexpected snake venom used to assassinate the grand young master.

Regrettably, the venom she could now generate was far inferior to that of the snake ancestor, otherwise, Huo Ranhua would have surely perished on the spot, not just suffered a hideous scar.
