Chapter 1737: I’ll Be Generous and Let You Go First!

"I say, this Gu... Young Master Gu or whatever, shouldn’t everything follow the order of first come, first served?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out from the side, startling everyone present, secretly thinking that at such a time, there was actually someone daring to speak to Gu Zhixuan like this?

Just now, Long Jinjiang’s fate was witnessed by several people firsthand. In just a moment, he turned into a pool of pus blood, his death was unparalleled in its horror, and anyone who dared to offend Gu Zhixuan would likely meet the same fate.

When these people turned their eyes to the person speaking, they discovered it was a graceful young girl, whose gaze was somewhat peculiar as she stared at the genius of the Wansu Sect, seemingly without a trace of fear.

The speaker was naturally Liu Hanyi. Although she only possessed the Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage cultivation, she had the physique of an Immortal Poison Body. If she unexpectedly used poison, even if the guy was a Heavenly Realm Early Stage genius, he might not be able to avoid disaster.

"Haha, I, Gu Zhixuan, usually don’t bother with women, but that doesn’t mean I won’t kill women!"

Turning his head to look at Liu Hanyi for a few seconds, Gu Zhixuan then revealed a set of white teeth, and even licked his somewhat dry lips, the words he spoke contained a kind of twisted killing intent.

From these two sentences by Gu Zhixuan, it was clear that as a Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison Vein Master, he didn’t have much compassion for delicate beauties, everything would be for the purpose of enhancing his cultivation and Poison Meridian Skill.

If that thing that appeared to be Soul Shocking Bamboo was really just a Heavenly Rank Low Level Soul Shocking Bamboo, Gu Zhixuan wouldn’t have acted earlier, and Long Jinjiang wouldn’t have been killed by poison.

Unfortunately, Liu Hanyi could see through it, and this genius from the Wansu Sect could also naturally see through it. Compared to the Heavenly Rank Low Level Soul Shocking Bamboo, the true nature of this piece of wood was indeed the most crucial reason he couldn’t help but act.

And for something so immensely important to him, how could Gu Zhixuan possibly let it pass easily? He just didn’t expect that even with Long Jinjiang dying such a tragic death, there were still people daring to contend with him.

"This Young Master Gu should be a Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison Vein Master, right? How about this, I won’t mind the order of first come, first served, let’s have a contest of Poison Meridian Skill, whoever wins gets the wood, how about it?"

Liu Hanyi’s eyes twinkled, she had already come up with a plan, the words she spoke suggested she was being more generous, but little did she know her words stunned the other three people present, including Gu Zhixuan.

These people didn’t know Liu Hanyi’s true details, they only saw this bright young girl in her twenties, and with such an age, to what extent could she cultivate the Poison Meridian Skill?

Earlier, Liu Hanyi didn’t reveal that she had seen through the true nature of the piece of wood, so the several people thought at most she might be a Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, or even an Earth Rank Advanced Poison Vein Master.

After all, Heavenly Rank Low Level Soul Shocking Bamboo is only useful for Heavenly Rank Low Level Meridian Refining Masters, some bolder Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Masters might also dare to forcibly absorb it.

But for a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Meridian Refining Master, Heavenly Rank Low Level Soul Shocking Bamboo was no longer very useful. Previously, Long Jinjiang valued Soul Shocking Bamboo for other reasons, not a reason familiar to the current Meridian Refining practice.

Even Dragon Cloud Intermediate Poison Vein Master Long Jinjiang fell for Gu Zhixuan’s trick invisibly, and yet you, a young girl, dare to boast shamelessly about challenging this Wansu Sect genius to a contest of Poison Meridian Skill, are you seeking a quick death?

"Little girl, my hand Gu Zhixuan never leaves anyone alive. Seeing your delicate appearance, I am really reluctant to make you end up like that old fellow!"

Gu Zhixuan’s eyes showed a hint of mockery, although his lips spoke "reluctance", his appearance suggested that he had no trace of compassion for delicate beauties.

In fact, with outsiders present, being looked down upon and challenged by a girl in her twenties, Gu Zhixuan’s heart had already surged with extreme anger. He, the genius of the Wansu Sect, was anyone able to challenge him?

"You are a genius of the Wansu Sect, can’t you even accept the challenge from a little girl like me?"

Liu Hanyi, mischievous and clever, aimed to use the opponent’s lack of knowledge about her details and his pride as a Wansu Sect genius to provoke him into agreeing to a contest of Poison Meridian Skill.

After all, Liu Hanyi knew that if it came to Meridian Qi cultivation, even ten of her put together might not be a match for Gu Zhixuan, they differed by a Great Rank, and he wasn’t Yun Xiao, he simply couldn’t accomplish cross-rank battles.

It must be said that Liu Hanyi’s somewhat clumsy tactic worked incredibly well, or perhaps Gu Zhixuan didn’t regard her at all, so the next moment his eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

"Since you insist on seeking death, then I must fulfill your wish!"

Just as Liu Hanyi said, with two outsiders present, if Gu Zhixuan dared not accept a challenge from a little girl, it would be inconsistent with his identity, so he immediately issued a cold voice.

Liu Hanyi was challenging Gu Zhixuan’s most confident Poison Meridian Skill. He believed that in the hands of this Wansu Sect genius, at least among the young generation of Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, few could withstand his poisonous erosion.

"Since I proposed the challenge, I will be generous and let you administer poison first!"

Liu Hanyi’s beautiful eyes flashed a gleam of triumphant conspiracy, but it quickly vanished. As soon as she spoke, the chubby boss and the onlooking elder both thought that Gu Zhixuan might not agree.

Who is this person? He is one of the geniuses of the Wansu Sect, his mastery of Poison Meridian Skill surpasses even some older Poison Vein Masters. His arrogance is unparalleled.

Thus, both believed the young lady was employing a strategy to provoke Gu Zhixuan into voluntarily giving up the chance to poison first; only then would the young lady have a thread of hope.

In the realm of Poison Meridian Path, there have been instances where lower rankers have poisoned superior rankers to death. In these two people’s view, the young lady likely intended to use some potent poison to defeat Gu Zhixuan in this Thousand Poison Pavilion.

Though these two thought so in their hearts, after glancing at Gu Zhixuan again, they knew such tricks probably had no effect on this Wansu Sect genius.

If the Poison Meridian Skill between the two differed greatly, the effect of the deployed poison would be significantly reduced. It’s said that cultivators of the Wansu Sect have their bodies cleansed with gentle toxin liquid from birth, naturally gaining strong poison resistance.

However, including Gu Zhixuan, none of them knew that when this Wansu Sect genius agreed to compete with Liu Hanyi in Poison Meridian Skill instead of Meridian Qi Combat Power, the outcome was already decided.

In terms of strength, Liu Hanyi’s words at this moment carried no trickery. Regardless of whether Gu Zhixuan poisoned first or she did, the result would remain unchanged.

With the physique of an Immortal Poison Body, unless Gu Zhixuan used Holy Rank Level poison, Liu Hanyi faced no deadly threat; instead, it would become nourishment to enhance her Immortal Embryo Poison.

Once Liu Hanyi deployed her Immortal Embryo Poison in an attack, Gu Zhixuan might not withstand it. This is the might of the Immortal Poison Body, a rare secret technique not often seen in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

"Alright, as you wish!"

Just as the chubby boss and elder thought Gu Zhixuan would never agree, unexpectedly, such words issued forth from the mouth of this Wansu Sect genius.

What these two didn’t know is that while Gu Zhixuan is indeed proud and ruthless, as a Poison Vein Master, he is exceptionally cautious. From Liu Hanyi’s prior behavior, he inexplicably felt a hint of unease.

Wansu Sect’s Poison Vein Masters routinely deal with countless toxic substances. If even slightly careless, despite their strong poison resistance, they would meet a grisly fate.

Sensing something unusual about this young woman’s presence, Gu Zhixuan’s cautious nature took hold, and at this moment, he didn’t act pretentious. If this woman really had some means, it would be quite a hassle for him.

Yet if Gu Zhixuan poisoned first, he had absolute confidence that this ignorant woman could not withstand the deadly poison he unleashed, thereby avoiding any subsequent trouble.

In fact, typically, in Poison Meridian Skill competitions, both parties act simultaneously. If Liu Hanyi had proposed this method earlier, Gu Zhixuan might not have considered much.

In summary, Liu Hanyi’s seemingly gracious words instead made Gu Zhixuan vigilant, thus he went along with her suggestion without any shame.

"Truly seeking death, even immortals can’t save you!"

Seeing a unique aura emanate from the young master, house slave Du Qi voluntarily stepped back several paces, coldly sneering to indicate that the woman’s arrogance would inevitably lead to a bitter price.

"Be careful now!"

Gu Zhixuan’s body exuded dense energy, clearly not intending to crush with Meridian Qi. His right hand extended, and a thin gray line shot towards Liu Hanyi.

Sss, sss, sss...

As the gray line sliced through the air, it seemed to corrode the air along its path into white smoke, appearing extremely eerie and terrifying.

"What kind of poison is this, so formidable?"

Even the onlooking elder, a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Poison Vein Master, showed a drastic change of expression upon seeing the gray line’s power, subtly stepping back several paces.

Regarding this potent poison unveiled by the Wansu Sect genius, Liu Hanyi from the Tenglong Continent naturally did not recognize it. However, she didn’t need to because she possessed the Immortal Poison Body.

The Immortal Poison carried by the Immortal Poison Body is deemed the foremost among all poisons, known as the King of All Poisons. Unless there is a significant grade disparity, to Liu Hanyi, it’s just nourishment to enhance the Immortal Embryo Poison.
