Chapter 206: Chapter 150: Great Harvest! Another Increase in Strength

’You forced my hand!’

’A bead refined from the venom of an ancient Corpse Demon!’

’Even if it doesn’t kill you, it’ll give you a world of trouble.’

’The poison alone is enough to damage your foundation.’

BOOM!

Suddenly, an overwhelmingly terrifying sense of danger struck him from behind in an instant. The man in white robes felt his hair stand on end, his heart filled with terror, as a scorching hot aura enveloped him.

It was as if a terrifying volcano had just erupted over him.

"What!"

BANG!

An unimaginable, peerless force, carrying an inconceivable amount of power, slammed violently into his back. Like a collapsing mountain of gold or a toppling pillar of jade, a searing, golden power erupted ferociously.

Building upon his original True Essence Fifth Layer, his power viciously tripled.

This palm strike was a killing blow.

Aaargh!

The man in white robes sprayed a torrent of blood and screamed miserably as his entire body, like a piece of rotten wood, exploded on the spot from Chen Xuan’s palm strike.

Large chunks of flesh, severed limbs, and a bloody mist shot out in all directions—a truly gruesome sight.

[You have killed a True Essence Second Layer master. Retribution points +20,000!]

Chen Xuan’s eyes were icy as he punched straight through the man’s body. He was indeed covered in the terrifying toxic mist, and many parts of his skin had turned pitch-black.

This potent poison was extremely bizarre; even True Qi couldn’t block it.

Like black ink, the moment it touched his True Qi, it swiftly dyed it black. Then, it followed the True Qi, seeping into his body and causing his skin to rapidly darken.

But his [Innate Tyrant Body] was already taking effect.

Like a super-powerful red buff, it rapidly began to repair his body.

The parts of his body that had been affected by the toxic mist began to recover at an unimaginable speed. In the blink of an eye, all traces of the poison vanished.

His searing, golden-yellow True Qi continued to burn brightly.

It was as if he hadn’t been affected at all.

He turned his head, his icy gaze landing on the other man.

But that man was incredibly decisive. He immediately dropped to his knees with a THUD, his face deathly pale with terror. He quickly said, "It had nothing to do with me! I’m on my knees! I haven’t said a word from the very beginning! We’re not even from the same faction. He’s from Crossroads Slope, and I’m from the Earth Spirit Cave. We just happened to know each other and teamed up. I admit my mistake! I’ll rip my own mouth apart..."

As he spoke, he hastily reached up and tore his mouth open, a bloody mess, ripping it all the way to the base of his ears.

"..."

Chen Xuan frowned, staring at the man.

’For a moment, I’m not sure what to do with him.’

’This obedient?’

’He even tore his own mouth open for me?’

[A True Essence First Layer master has been detected. Their will has collapsed. Retribution points +20,000!]

"Get lost,"

Chen Xuan said.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The man kowtowed hastily, then turned and fled. His heart was devoid of even a single malicious thought of revenge.

He had never been so clear-headed in his life.

Chen Xuan’s ’Divine Skill’ for expelling poison had utterly terrified him.

He knew that even if he cultivated for countless more years, he would never be a match for Chen Xuan.

Besides, the Martial Alliance Leader stood behind him.

There was no way his backer, the Earth Spirit Cave, would fight to the death with the Martial Alliance Leader just for him...

Chen Xuan gave the fleeing man a deep look.

’Not even a hint of resentment...’

’In other words, he’s completely submitted.’

He had so hoped that as the man fled, his heart would be filled with venomous hatred, plotting how he would one day get his revenge.

If that had been the case, he could have killed him with complete satisfaction.

But now!

It was useless!

Even if he killed him, he wouldn’t feel any satisfaction.

After all, the man hadn’t really provoked him.

"You two are from Black Demon Mountain?"

Chen Xuan turned back again, looking at Zhou Xueyun and the other man on the ground. "In that case, you can die!"

PSST!

With a casual wave of his hand, he didn’t even give them time to explain.

Golden True Qi flashed, and two heads flew through the air.

[Retribution points +18,000!]

[...+18,000!]

The entire street was a scene of devastation.

Countless people were wailing in agony.

The explosion of the black bead had caused too much damage; at least several dozen people had died on the spot...

"How are you two?"

Chen Xuan walked over to Mr. Zhuo and Elder Wuu.

Fortunately, the two of them had been in the opposite direction from where the bead was thrown.

Moreover, they had both instantly retreated and protected themselves with their True Essence...

"We’re mostly unharmed. Luckily, we dodged in time."

Mr. Zhuo’s expression shifted as he cursed, "Damn it! That was someone from the Crossroads Slope Grotto Heaven! Corpse poison has always been their specialty. I almost forgot about that. It’s a good thing you’re okay."

He had been so shocked by Chen Xuan’s methods that he had completely forgotten that the people from Crossroads Slope specialized in corpse poison.

If a peerless genius like him were to be taken down by a sneak attack with corpse poison, he himself would become a sinner to the entire Martial Alliance!

"This is my fault. I didn’t remember either,"

Elder Wuu said quickly, his lips trembling.

"It’s nothing. Mere corpse poison can’t affect me."

Chen Xuan shook his head. "I’m becoming more and more interested in these so-called Grotto Heavens. The people who appeared today seem to be from different factions!"

"Yes. To be precise, there were likely four different groups."

Elder Wuu immediately nodded and said, "The ones who were trying to snatch the Fire Python Inner Core earlier were from Black Demon Mountain, a mortal enemy of our Martial Alliance. Of the three who appeared later, one was from Crossroads Slope, one was from the Earth Spirit Cave, and one was from Celestial Brilliance Mountain. Those three were probably friends."

"Is that so?"

Chen Xuan mused.

’I’ll make sure to remember Crossroads Slope.’

’Vicious and fond of sneak attacks.’

’Their threat level is on par with Black Demon Mountain.’

’If I see any of them in the future, it’s best to kill them on sight.’

...

As Elder Wuu called people over to quickly deal with the scene, a laugh suddenly came from a nearby area. "I have long heard of Young Hero Chen’s great name, and seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation! Those idiots deserved to be killed by you. They didn’t even know you were at the True Essence Third Layer and still dared to come here and act tough. If they didn’t die, who would?"
