Chapter 1890: Then Why Don't You Catch It?

“Lu Zhanbai, keep an eye on Wu Jiantong. There will be benefits for you once this matter is settled!”

Coldly locking his gaze on Yun Xiao, Mo Han suddenly turned his attention to the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, Lu Zhanbai. This stern voice caused the latter’s heart to stir.

To be honest, seeing Mo Han here today and knowing he had already broken through to the Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage, Lu Zhanbai had practically given up hope of winning the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting championship.

Even if Lu Zhanbai eventually had the chance to compete for the championship with Mo Han, he probably wouldn’t dare claim the championship for himself. After all, that person was a genius from the Dragon Academy.

“Rest assured, Young Master Han, with me here, he has no chance!”

Especially now that Mo Han had already spoken, though Lu Zhanbai felt some regret, he knew this was an opportunity to curry favor with the genius from the Dragon Academy. He immediately beat his chest in assurance, and his aura locked onto Wu Jiantong as well.

Hearing Lu Zhanbai’s commitment, Mo Han couldn’t help but feel quite satisfied. After all, among the remaining geniuses on the field, only Lu Zhanbai and Wu Jiantong had reached the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage.

Now that Lu Zhanbai had submitted to him, and with him watching Wu Jiantong, it was a perfect arrangement. As for those lower-ranked geniuses at the Half-step Holy Rank or Heavenly Realm Peak, Mo Han truly didn’t take them seriously at all.

Moreover, Mo Han was extremely confident in his own Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage cultivation. He believed that dealing with a Half-step Holy Rank Yun Xing couldn’t possibly take much time. Ultimately, the championship of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting would be his.

“Kid, I know you have some strange poisoning skills, but unfortunately, they are useless against me!”

Turning his gaze back to Yun Xiao, Mo Han stared at this white-clothed young man with some smugness. As his words fell, his right hand brushed his waist, and a flash of light appeared.

“What’s that?”

When everyone saw the emerald green pearl in Mo Han’s right hand, their faces were somewhat puzzled. Only Lu Zhanbai and Wu Jiantong’s expressions changed slightly at this moment.

“It’s the ‘Detoxification Pearl’ from the Emperor Canglong Palace!”

These two, one from the Lu Family known for their Poison Vein Masters, and the other from the Holy Doctor Alliance with many Medical Pulse Masters, naturally had broader knowledge than ordinary geniuses. Therefore, they recognized the essence of that emerald pearl immediately.

The so-called Detoxification Pearl was not just a pearl containing deadly poison; it also had a special effect of neutralizing various toxins.

With this pearl in possession, even if Mo Han wasn’t a Poison Vein Master, most poisons would hardly harm him.

Mo Han had immediately brought out the Detoxification Pearl for two reasons: he did have some apprehension about Yun Xiao’s poisoning skills, having seen Xiang Wenyuan’s miserable condition earlier.

Secondly, Mo Han wanted to use this Detoxification Pearl to show the opponent that even if he wasn’t a Poison Vein Master, Yun Xiao’s Poison Meridian Skill wouldn’t work on him, and it was better not to waste effort.

In Mo Han’s perspective, the white-clothed youth opposite him only had two noteworthy tricks: the sword on his back and his mysterious poisoning skill. Besides these unexpected skills, what else could threaten him, a dignified Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage genius?

Moreover, Mo Han knew that this Detoxification Pearl was not an ordinary antidote. It contained potent toxicity, and if that kid could be poisoned unawares, perhaps he could regain the upper hand in the situation.

At that time, with the poison rampaging, the kid would have no choice but to detoxify Xiang Wenyuan. By then, not only could Mo Han recover his lost face, but he might also earn a huge favor from Xiang Wenyuan, which could play a significant role in integrating the Mixed Element Valley into the Emperor Palace.

“Just a mere Detoxification Pearl, do you think it can ensure your immunity to all poisons?”

In his past life, Yun Xiao was the Long Xiao Battle God, naturally recognizing this Detoxification Pearl. Moreover, in a certain sense, it was something he and Lu Qinwan once researched together.

Back in those days, the Emperor Canglong Palace wasn’t unrivaled; the so-called Wansu Sect produced many Poison Vein Masters. Canglong Palace cultivators often got inadvertently poisoned when venturing outside.

Over time, even Canglong Imperial City found it troubling. Fortunately, with a Holy Rank Poison Vein Master like Lu Qinwan and the Medical and Poison Cultivation of the Long Xiao Battle God, the Detoxification Pearl was developed, avoiding numerous dangers for Emperor Palace disciples traveling the Continent.

Yun Xiao didn’t expect that after reincarnation, he would see this Detoxification Pearl again under such circumstances. He felt quite emotional, hence his comment.

“You do have some knowledge, kid. Then taste the effects of this Detoxification Pearl!”

Seeing that the opponent recognized the essence of the Detoxification Pearl, Mo Han wasn’t too surprised. Hearing his shout, his right hand flicked, and a streak of emerald green light shot through the sky, rushing angrily toward Yun Xiao.

Before, in the stone house, although Mo Han didn’t pay much attention to the unexpected disturbance outside, he subtly realized some of the cards up the sleeve of this white-clothed youth, such as that inconspicuous wooden sword and the potent poison that made Xiang Wenyuan suffer unbearably.

Especially the physical strength that crushed Xiang Wenyuan alive, making Mo Han, who had reached the Hua Xuan Boundary Middle Stage, not dare to underestimate it in the slightest; therefore, from the beginning, he never intended to engage in close combat with that terrifyingly strong youth.

The detoxification pearl is not as simple as it seems on the surface. As Mo Han summoned the detoxification pearl, his eyes flashed with brilliance, staring dead at the white-clothed young man, wanting to know how the other party would respond.

Generally speaking, if one truly understands the detoxification pearl, they would definitely not reach out to catch it, because that could possibly contaminate oneself with the ever-changing toxic gases within the detoxification pearl.

As mentioned earlier, due to its power to neutralize numerous poisons, the detoxification pearl won’t simply make the toxins vanish; instead, they are all stored within the body of the pearl.

Even Mo Han himself, the owner, didn’t dare to touch the detoxification pearl lightly, as he didn’t have antidotes for some of the toxins that were neutralized from outside.

If that white-clothed youth didn’t reach out to touch the detoxification pearl, Mo Han could still control the eruption of toxic gases or toxic liquids within the pearl, and as long as the youth gets contaminated by even a strand of it, he would suffer consequences he couldn’t bear.

“Brother Yun Xing, that is the detoxification pearl from Emperor Canglong Palace. Do not touch it, lest it brings poison upon yourself!”

Seeing the emerald-green light rapidly attacking Yun Xiao, the benevolent Medical Pulse Master Wu Jiantong instinctively spoke out a reminder. At this moment, he already considered Yun Xiao as a friend.

“Hehe, Brother Wu, you overestimate this nonsense detoxification pearl!”

However, just as Wu Jiantong’s words fell, Lu Zhanbai’s expression turned gloomy, and from the mouth of the white-clothed youth came a voice that made many people ponder.

“Yun Xing, since you think the detoxification pearl is nothing significant, why don’t you reach out and catch it?”

Lu Zhanbai naturally supported Mo Han and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, employing this crude goading method. Since the lad looks down on the detoxification pearl, does he dare to test its power?

Upon hearing Lu Zhanbai’s goading words, many people curled their lips, thinking that if Yun Xing had any sense, he probably wouldn’t actually reach out to catch it; this goading is just too inelegant.

Moreover, Yun Xing seemed to have already recognized the detoxification pearl’s nature earlier. Coupled with Wu Jiantong’s verbal reminder, touching it would be utterly foolish, wouldn’t it?

As the involved party, Mo Han, frankly didn’t have too high expectations either, but he still had some backup plans; as long as the detoxification pearl flew within a certain range of Yun Xiao, this youth would definitely end up poisoned.

“I said before, the measly detoxification pearl is of no use at all!”

However, just when everyone thought Yun Xiao would not possibly reach out to catch the emerald-green pearl, they heard the young man softly utter, and then, his outstretched right hand already grabbed the detoxification pearl.

Such a scene not only left the many watching geniuses dumbfounded, but even Mo Han, who was prepared to execute certain measures, slightly stiffened his hands, stopping his technique.

Since Yun Xiao had already gripped the detoxification pearl with his palm, Mo Han simply didn’t need to exert any further efforts; he believed that at the moment the other party touched the detoxification pearl, the outcome was already sealed.

This detoxification pearl, Mo Han had carried it for many years, and within it was not only the inherent poison but also several toxins it had absorbed over the years for which he himself had no antidote.

Once this mix of hundred poisons is touched, it’s indeed incurable, because you don’t even know what poison you’ve been inflicted with, and when even the poisoner has no antidote, how could it be neutralized?

“Kid, you will ultimately pay a painful price for your arrogance!”

As Mo Han’s eyes filled with cold laughter, this thought flashed through his mind, and simultaneously, his gaze involuntarily swept over a certain figure below.

In truth, Mo Han didn’t have much acquaintance with Xiang Wenyuan from the Mixed Element Valley. He spoke out to help for the dignity of his Emperor Palace genius and also to use this person as a stepping stone to strive for the opportunity to annex the Mixed Element Valley for Emperor Canglong Palace in the future.

Unfortunately, this request from the fifth genius of the Dragon Academy was directly rejected by a kid called Yun Xing, which made Mo Han’s frustration remain stuck in his chest even now.

However, at this moment, as Mo Han saw Yun Xiao’s right hand already touching the detoxification pearl, he knew his opportunity had arrived.

This opportunity not only could regain the ground just lost but also might make the other party willing to neutralize the poison in Xiang Wenyuan’s body.

Everyone blankly watched the white-clothed youth. When they saw his body was unmoved but his face showed a peculiar expression, they collectively mourned for him.
