The man in white let out a cold snort, also with a low and hoarse voice. "Do you think Im a three-year-old kid? Even if I go back with you, whats the big deal? Do you think that beast has an antidote for the Wu Er Sheng Shui? Dont forget, the Wu Er Sheng Shui is the number one poison in the world, and its incurable. Even if he had an antidote, I would never go back to grovel at his feet again. Id rather eat his flesh and drink his blood. I only regret why I was so stupid until then, when I finally saw his true face. You can leave now, considering youve followed me for so long, Ill let you have a way out. Ming Shi has already died, are you willing to become vengeful spirits with him?"
Because they all stopped moving and stood still, Ah-Dai could barely make out that the faces of these people were all covered with a layer of veil, including the white-clothed person known as the King of Hell. No ones appearance could be seen. When he heard the name "Wú èr Shèng Shuǐ" (Unparalleled Holy Water), he was shocked. It was the only poison in Goris notes that had no antidote. The other day, Goris had said that he had studied this Unparalleled Holy Water for a long time and it was extremely precious. Only a small amount of it existed in the imperial palace of the Tianjin Empire, and it was only used by the emperor to grant death to his loyal ministers. Goris highly praised the Unparalleled Holy Water in his notes, saying that its name meant "unique and unparalleled". Its production method had long been lost, and the remaining Unparalleled Holy Water on the mainland was extremely rare. The price of a drop of it on the black market had once reached 1,000 diamond coins. If a drop of Unparalleled Holy Water were to be mixed into clear water, its toxicity could turn half the citys residents into ghosts. Those who were poisoned by the Unparalleled Holy Water could only suppress it with their strength, but they couldnt drive it out. Once their strength was exhausted, they would inevitably die from the poison, and their entire body, including their bones, would dissolve into a pool of blue toxic water.
The man in black said, "Boss, to be honest, we all admire you. Although weve never really met face-to-face, your Dark King Sword is something we cant match. I, Mieyi, dare say that there are only a handful of people on the continent who can withstand you. But now, more than half of your strength is being used to suppress the effects of the Holy Water, and you absolutely cannot last for too long. Your Dark King Sword cant be used, so how can you kill all of us? Youre right, theres no antidote for the Holy Water, but with our assistance, suppressing it for a few years shouldnt be a problem. Why must you die in vain? Something must have happened between you and the Master, we dont know, nor do we want to know. Our task is just to bring you back. Boss, you should know the Masters temper. If we return empty-handed, Im afraid the punishment will be more terrifying than death."
"The King of the Underworld" suddenly sighed and said, "Since you are so obstinately ignorant, dont blame me for being ruthless." He casually inserted the five-foot-long broadsword into the ground, with more than half of the swords body silently entering the mud. His right hand touched his chest, quietly gazing at the eleven black-clad men in front of him.
Although it was just a simple action, the eleven black-clad men were extremely wary and retreated three steps back, raising their narrow swords. Their eyes revealed a terrified expression, as if they had seen something frightening.
"You think that just because Ive been poisoned by the Wu Er Sheng Shui, I wont be able to use the Ming Wang Jian? Since youre pushing me too far, dont blame me for not being polite."
"Wait a minute. King Yanluo, can you still use the power of the Yanluo Sword?"
A man in white robes let out a cold snort, and an aura of unparalleled evil rapidly spread around him. Within a hundred meters in all directions, the trees of the Mystic Forest trembled slightly, their leaves rustling softly, as if they were whimpering.
Eleven black-clad figures had different colored auras gathering on their narrow swords at the same time, as if they were waiting for something.
Suddenly, Ah-Dai felt a chill run down his spine as an icy and evil aura seeped into his body through his pores. Unconsciously, he shivered, thinking to himself that this person was terrifying! The overwhelming evil energy filled the air, causing Ah-Dais body to tremble uncontrollably. Just as he was about to let out a loud cry, a warm and peaceful energy suddenly surged through his body, expelling the invading evil aura. Warmth spread throughout him, making him feel much more at ease.
Eleven black-clad figures moved at the same time, their narrow swords bursting with intense light as they stabbed towards the chest of the white-clad figure.
"The King of the Underworld flashed across the sky——the earth——moved——." The white-clothed persons body suddenly became unreal, and his illusory figure flashed by. An evil aura burst out from his body, a faint blue light appeared with his shadow for an instant. The evil aura burst out in an instant, completely enveloping the black-clothed persons attack within.
The evil energy dissipated, and the group of black-clad men returned to their previous positions. The white-clad man also remained standing in front of the broadsword, as if none of them had ever left their original spots.
Plop, plop. Without any warning, the two men in black on the far right suddenly fell down silently. Their bodies seemed to have been drained of all moisture, instantly turning into mummies.
The sound of his voice was still low, but it had a hint of tremble, "You, you, Meng Wang Sword, are you Meng Shan?" The devastating attack earlier had already taken away his will to fight, the cold and evil aura constantly impacting the meridians in his body. He no longer had any confidence to confront the person in front of him. He wasnt afraid of death, but he didnt want to make a meaningless sacrifice.
The white-clothed persons right hand remained on his chest, calmly saying: "For the first time, this is the first time someone has seen the King of Hell Sword take action and still be alive. Considering our past interactions, you can leave now. You should be able to explain yourselves when you return. I dont want to kill anyone else today."
He took a look at the desiccated corpses of Mie Liu and Mie Shi, gritted his teeth, and said in a hateful tone: "Bring their bodies. Lets go." He hopped on one foot and floated to the body of Mie Shiyi, who had died under the sword of the white-clothed man, and picked it up. The remaining black-clothed men didnt say a word; two of them tucked the desiccated corpses of Mie Liu and Mie Shi under their arms, and the nine remaining people maintained their formation, slowly backing away and disappearing into the fog.
The man in white robes smiled wryly to himself, muttering: "I never thought that I, the King of the Underworld, would also have a day where I need to rely on deceit to save my life." His body swayed, and he grabbed onto the broadsword in front of him, barely stabilizing his body. "This No. 2 Holy Water is really formidable! Am I going to die here?" His body went limp, and he fell to one side.
Originally, the white-clothed person barely managed to suppress the toxicity of the Wu Er Shen Shui with his pure true energy, but in order to drive away that group of black-clothed people, he had no choice but to stimulate his true energy and use his ultimate technique. The toxicity could no longer be suppressed, and he too couldnt hold on any longer.
He stared blankly at the scene unfolding before his eyes, rubbing them in an attempt to clear his vision. The previous fragment seemed so unreal, and the exceptionally turbulent evil aura left a deep mark on his heart. He had never thought that someone could launch such a powerful attack. The dark energy emitted by Teacher Goris when using Black Flame was nothing compared to the white-robed man before him. If it werent for the fact that the white-robed man was lying unconscious not far away, he would have thought he was dreaming. However, he didnt know that he had narrowly escaped death, and the evil aura emanating from the white-robed mans body would have disrupted even a master like Goris, let alone someone as frail as Ah-Dai. If it werent for the endless life force from the Rebirth Fruit helping him dispel the evil energy, his meridians would have been disrupted, and he would be dead by now.
After a while, Ah Diao gradually came to his senses. He slowly got up and walked step by step towards the white-clothed person. He wanted to see what would happen if someone ate the unparalleled holy water that Goriis revered so much.
A distance of only a hundred meters, Ah-Dai walked for five minutes, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat, after all, for him, an eleven-year-old kid, the scene just now can only be described as terrifying. Three lives, just disappeared so easily.
Finally, Ah Diao walked to the side of the man in white, he squatted down and looked at the man in white carefully. The face of the man in white was covered with a layer of white veil, only the position of his eyes had two small holes. His body was twitching slightly.
"Not dead." Ah-Dai was shocked and sat down on the ground, this person is still not dead?
The white-clothed person remained still, continuing to tremble slightly. Ah-Dai thought to himself, this person must be the one with profound abilities that Gori teacher mentioned. He must have suppressed the toxicity of the Wu-Er Sheng-Shui within his body in order to hold on until now. Although Gori teacher hadnt found an antidote for the Wu-Er Sheng-Shui, he had thought of a method to temporarily restrain its toxicity. Its just that he was unable to find the real Wu-Er Sheng-Shui, so he never got to experiment with it. Gori once said that if one could die under the effects of the Wu-Er Sheng-Shui, it would be a kind of blessing. He deeply regretted not being able to truly test the method to suppress its toxicity.
Should he save him? Ah-Dais kind thoughts gradually rose, and he carefully removed the veil from the white-robed mans face. A lean and handsome middle-aged man appeared before his eyes. The white-robed mans skin was pale, with two sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, a straight nose and square mouth, and a faint blue aura on his face, which seemed to be constantly rising. The white-robed mans jaws were clenched tightly, as if he had fallen into endless suffering.
The foolish Ah looked left and right, but no matter how he looked, he couldnt see that the middle-aged man in front of him was a bad person. He naively thought that the ones wearing black clothes were definitely the bad guys, and this white-clothed person only killed to protect himself. Lets save him, and also help Professor Goris test whether his method of suppressing the Two Holy Waters is effective. However, he didnt think about what would happen if the white-clothed man woke up and turned against him.
Thinking of this, Ah Diao no longer hesitated. He clearly knew that if he delayed any further, the person in front of him would be beyond saving. He made an effort to pull up the white-robed persons arm and place it on his own narrow shoulder.
Its so heavy! Ah-Dai used all his strength to pull it once, but only moved the white-clothed person a little bit. He tried several times, but still couldnt move his body much. What to do? Ah-Dai squatted beside the white-clothed person and wiped the sweat from his forehead, remaining there for half a day in a daze.
Ah! Cant pull him back, just save him here. How stupid. Ah-Dai knocked his own head and turned to run towards the wooden house.
Back in the wooden house, Ah-Dai rushed straight to Goris laboratory. Having memorized his notes thoroughly, he clearly remembered what was needed to suppress the Nirvana Holy Water.
"Ah, Silver Mother three taels, Crystal Powder one tael, Heart Destroying Grass half a tael... Hmm, Teacher said this Heart Destroying Grass is extremely toxic, how can we use so much of it? Never mind, I wont think about it, whatever Teacher says must be right. Clear Machine Frost four tenths of a tael, Wind Scented Grass three tenths of a tael..." Ah-Dai carefully found all the items noted on his notes and put them into the small cauldron. He added some clear water, poured it in, and stirred it with the medicine pestle for a few times, nodding his head in satisfaction.
"Teacher, dont blame Ah-Dai when you come back! I used your things to save people." Thick-headed Ah-Dai, remembering Goris instructions from the beginning.
He rubbed his hands together, and Ah-Dai excitedly muttered to himself: "Alright, Im starting now. Fire elements that fill the heavens and earth! Please grant me the power of burning flames, in my name, with your power, appear, scorching hot fire!" With a whoosh, a cyan-blue flame burst out from Ah-Dais palm, and he carefully moved his hand under the cauldron, letting the outer flames continuously heat up the small cauldron.
Through constant practice, Ah-Dais flame technique has become quite skilled. After contemplating for ten months, he can easily control the temperature of the flames. In just a short while, the water had already reached boiling point. Ah-Dai knew that among these materials, only Silver Mother was difficult to melt, so he placed some Koriya-made, non-medicinal quick-melting powder on it. Even so, it still took about an hours time to completely fuse all the materials together.
