The Immortal’s Poison

When Zhui Zi was retrieving the Centipede Grass earlier and Wen Leyang when he went to Black and White Island, they once made contact with the descendants of the moon's cone nail. The three siblings - Full Moon, First and Last Quarter Moon, did not jump to fight desperately with them the moment they met. Their attitudes were not considered friendly, but they were not considered hostile either - it was a very awkward interaction. They met twice, and not only were they not involved in the battle of life and death, they even saved Wen Leyang and Zhui Zi on the Black and White Island.

It was not the same this time. When the three descendants of moon's cone nail appeared, the exit of the place of the outer fringe suddenly rippled with Heavenly Moon's top supernatural powers. It was so silvery and bright, just like the radiance of the moon's glow, that it was capable of urging and seizing the soul!

Wen Leyang was bustling about. He waved the Ning Jiao's sting into a ball of ghastly cold radiance, yet his mouth could not help but to squall, "Why did all of you not come together at the same time?"

He had yet to defeat the first three, when the last three came again…

Full Moon was rather puzzled too, "We did not expect you to be here either!" He was speaking, but his hand seals that were spinning endlessly did not act on mercy, as streaks upon streaks of dazzling and lustrous Heavenly Moon's supernatural powers surged forward within the formation of the seal!

Even though the seven cultivators who followed the descendants of the moon's cone nails were no match to those top sword immortals, when anyone of them was placed in the cultivation world, they were strong enough to build their own sect. The terrifying master cultivators who made a clean sweep in one direction and with the joint effort of the seven people, they had already connected to Chi Maojiu's witchcraft murder. Hot Immortal Aunt calmed herself down from shock and shook the scorching fiery cloud next to her. Her body swayed as she was about to pounce towards Wen Leyang. 

Full Moon on the other hand called out in panic, "The matter on the outside has already been accomplished; there is no need to continue fighting!"

Hot Immortal Aunt's expression revealed wild joy, and the gaze she shot towards Wen Leyang seemed to show that she had already regarded him as a dead man. Her body turned around in midair and bent over as she picked up Sir Rust and Shudou. She retreated swiftly towards the outside of the place of the outer fringe. 

The more difficult it was to figure out Kong Nuer's plan, the more doubtful Wen Leyang felt in his heart. He watched helplessly as the enemies were about to escape. He exerted himself in order to urge the strong Poison of Life and Death in his entire body. After he leaped high up into the air, he made an abrupt turn in midair as fast as lightning. He was akin to an agile yet determined sparrow, as he shuttled through the Heavenly Moon supernatural powers that covered the entire sky. He then pounced ferociously towards Hot Immortal Aunt. 

The bony Ning Jiao howled in rage. Its gigantic body tossed and turned and swayed, as it closely protected the master. It twisted through the maze of countless explosive and thundering supernatural powers. Its pitch-black eye sockets contained an exploding malevolent and tyrannical divine glow.

Hot Immortal Aunt was bringing Sir Rust and Shudou along as she pushed forward in a haste. The top of her head suddenly darkened and she was scared out of her wits when she looked up. Wen Leyang came down from above and pounced rapidly towards her.

Thousands of people were at the scene. Almost no one dared to believe that under the three top sword immortals' joint attack, Wen Leyang still managed to surge past them!

Hot Immortal was surprised and infuriated. Her hoarse voice was already out of tune as she roared in a strange manner, "You want to get killed?" She suddenly circulated her power with great urgency, as she used Sir Rust and Shudou as her 'hidden weapons'. Surprisingly, she tossed them towards Wen Leyang with all her might! Following that, her hands formed into a seal. She flipped over gracefully, yet she bawled and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She then enunciated her words clearly and wailed bitterly, "Raise the fire, burn the heaven!"

The vast blue sky in the place of the outer fringe, following the Hot Immortal Aunt's Heavenly Fire Seal, exploded into a boundless sea of fire with a loud bang! Thousands of red-colored fiery snakes attacked Wen Leyang!

The lineage of Heavenly Fire exhausted the cultivation power of her entire body, in hopes of an attack capable of burning the heaven and annihilating the world…

Sir Rust and Shudou were tossed towards Wen Leyang by Hot Immortal Aunt. There was utterly no surprise in their expressions, as if the matter was supposed to be handled as such. 

Sir Rust seemed to have forgotten that he was poisoned with strong poison; he screamed wildly, "Metal and steel, summon the genie!" He then smashed the top of his head ferociously. 

A raging and sonorous sound that was akin to the collapse of a metal mountain exploded from the sky. A bronze-colored hand print with the circumference of a few kilometers surged out from the boundless fiery clouds. It resembled a huge mountain, as it slammed towards Wen Leyang's head heavily!

The lineage of Sharp Metal condensed his entire lifetime's worth of cultivation to give a powerful strike towards the heavenly steel genie…

Grandmother Shudou was about to die from severe injuries. Her body, which was seemingly about to fall apart at any time, was trembling and spinning in midair. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to exclaim in rage, yet with the sound of a cry, she spat out a murky and grotesque mud ball.

The moment the mud ball exited her mouth, the initially old and frail Shudou's hair turned from grey to completely white, before disintegrating into pieces. The skin of her entire body shriveled and lost all its shine in a flash, while her pupils were so murky as if it had melted into the white of her eyes, before turning into a pool of murkiness. 

The mud ball appeared hideous and dirty. It seemed to carry the old woman's gastric juice and thick phlegm. The moment it appeared, it disintegrated into dust, while at the same time, thousands of silver stars appeared next to Wen Leyang. Even in the presence of thick and scorching flames, there was no way this fogginess from the starlight could be concealed! Streaks upon streaks of silver lines shuttled back and forth between the stars, and weaved into an enormous net that was still shimmering with a sharp glow that suddenly enshrouded him!

The old woman immediately severed her life vitality and used her birth year mud ball, in exchange for thousands of layers of star veil's murderous formation…

At the same time, Hot Immortal Aunt, Shudou and Sir Rust sacrificed their lives to simultaneously launch an attack. The three descendants of heaven's cone nails each fell back by one step. First Quarter Moon stood on the west, Last Quarter Moon stood on the east, while Full Moon guarded the middle ground. They each formed hand seals. 

First Quarter Moon, "Absolute power of life and death!"

Last Quarter Moon, "Floating light and passing shadow!"

Full Moon's body was convulsing; his voice was also quivering accordingly. It was difficult to tell if he was crying or laughing, yet his raging roar seemed like he was attempting to spit out his internal organs from his throat, "Murderous… shadow!

The shadow that Wen Leyang reflected onto the ground suddenly vanished, and boundless darkness suddenly surged up from the ground as fast as lightning. It swallowed himself and the bony Ning Jiao entirely, all at once!

The fire element lit a fire that burned the heaven.

The metal element summoned the metal steel genie.

The star conjured thousands of layers of the star veil.

The moon, casted a murderous shadow.

Four descendants of the heaven's con nails, conjured four types of heaven-killing supernatural powers!

From all directions, the supernatural powers hit Wen Leyang at the same time! The final scene witnessed by countless watching cultivators was that under the terrifying supernatural powers, the fierce hideous bony dragon in midair suddenly bloomed with ghostly energy from the nether world. Its body coiled and curled around Wen Leyang tightly to protect him…

Soon after, a puff of radiance sharp enough to turn everyone blind, erupted in between the heaven and earth! An airwave rolled up, accompanied by the sound of howling, loud enough to shatter eardrums, swept towards the entire scene ruthlessly in a flash!

Chi Maojiu's eyes were almost exploding in rage; he could no longer care about entangling himself with the enemies. He squalled as he pounced forward in an attempt to save Wen Leyang, yet the moment his feet had left the ground, he was heavily tossed away by the tremendous force capable of destroying the heaven and earth. 

Dust covered the entire sky, which misted over everyone's five senses and telegnosis ability!

The old monk, Ji Fei, carried the child, and just like the rest of cultivators from the place of the outer fringe, he was akin to a rolling bottle gourd under the tremendous force from the explosion of supernatural power. He fell backwards messily and the color was drained from his face… The only thought in his mind was – motherf*cking cunt!

As compared to the other two descendants of the heaven's cone nails who were injured beforehand, Hot Immortal Aunt was in the best health condition. Even though she dissipated the cultivation power of her entire body, she was not injured. She watched as Wen Leyang was about to be swallowed by the chain of supernatural powers. Her eyes were glimmering with incomparable excitement and she was not afraid of dissipating her cultivation power. For as long as she was alive, it was fine for her to be injured any more severely. They still had the Centipede Grass; she could be completely healed in no time. 

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The three descendants of the moon cone nail were still panting on the same spot, while Hot Immortal Aunt, Sir Rust and Shudou were falling from midair…

She watched as the enemy that made her clench her teeth in rage. The moment she thought about him, she imagined four ways to dismember him into a thousand pieces. The old woman Shudou was about to die soon. She was falling down from midair, yet she could not refrain herself from laughing.

Just as her dried lips had only curled into an arch, and before she could even laugh out loud, the shadow of a human figure suddenly surged out from the dust that covered the entire sky! A head with disheveled hair that was dressed in ragged and shabby clothes, with a body covered in blood and a ferocious expression… The person's mouth was continuously making a hoarse yet meaningless howling tone. The person was akin to a mad beast, and was also akin to the God of Slaughter who had infuriated the heaven! 

The bony Ning Jiao was shattered, the Ning Jiao's armor was charred, and the Ning Jiao's sting was snapped. Yet despite losing every single one of his treasured weapons, Wen Leyang still possessed a body full of meridians, muscles and bones, flesh and blood that was refined and condensed from strong poison!

Four hits of supernatural powers capable of destroying the heaven and earth did not manage to collapse Wen Leyang's bronze skin and metal bones. They were refined through the utmost pain of the world and the hardest, most laborious ordeals for the joy of his family, for the safety of the people, for the search of his grand master grandfather's whereabouts, and for protecting Chang Li and Zhui Zi's lives for the past ten years. 

His poisonous body, even though he had yet to become a saint, was not something these enemies, who wanted to capture Chang Li and kill all Tuo Xie's disciples, were capable of destroying!

Shudou had yet to change her smile into fright. She suddenly felt as her ankle tightened as she firmly grasped Wen Leyang. Shudou was already almost dead, yet her lips were quivering from fear towards this mad monster before her eyes. She spoke as if she was almost in tears, "Forgive me…" If the old woman Shudou had even half a second's time to ponder, she would absolutely never beg for forgiveness. She may even break out in curses, but everything happened too soon. Her thoughts were already completely halted, and in place were her survival instincts. 

The reflection of blood exploded in midair. Shudou howled in agony; her bent and withered body was tossed by Wen Leyang ferociously towards the ground.

At the sound of a loud bang, Shudou was slammed so hard against the ground she made a deep indentation, yet half of her legs were still grasped in Wen Leyang's hands… When Wen Leyang was beating her against the ground, he had never let go of her!

Wen Leyang tossed away the broken legs and pounced towards Sir Rust who was almost startled to madness; with tears streaming down his face yet still completely oblivious.

Almost at the same time, the sound of loud shouting was heard again. The fat man, Full Moon's entire body was wrapped in moonlight. He slammed himself towards Wen Leyang at the speed of a meteor. 

Wen Leyang once imagined that when he was fighting against Kong Nuer in the future, he would kill until there was no day or night. He would bathe himself in blood… yet he had never even thought that he would enjoy the treatment of participating in the battle of Mount Hua, where a group of demon immortals encircled and attacked the big moustache man once in his entire lifetime. 

Even though the power of the joint attack was very different from last time, the imposing mannerism still remained the same. Wen Leyang was mad, but he was not infuriated to madness, he was too startled…

However, whether he was being infuriated or startled, he was genuinely mad. The vision before his eyes were filled with boundless light and radiance, and his ears were filled with thundering loud noise, yet his brain turned into a complete blank. 

The only idea that was left in his mind was that Wen Bucao's disciples were vicious and atrocious for generations, while the life-or-death stubbornness that was planted in his bones – as long as I am not dead, you shall not be left alive!

Wen Leyang did not avoid or dodge, his limbs were outspread as he hugged Full Moon ferociously. The Poison of Life and Death was surging and roaring to the rhythm of the Faulty Punch, while the tremendous force and the strong poison pushed towards the opponent's body ferociously. Full Moon too was capable of shifting the life vitality from his entire body. In order to surge towards Wen Leyang's chest akin to a violent storm, within the gaze of countless cultivators staring in bewilderment, the two of them hugged each other from the sky, and fell stiffly onto the ground together, before breaking free from one another simultaneously. 

The two persons stood up shakily akin to drunken men… they gave out the muffled sound of rumbling from their throats. 

Full Moon covered his chest with his hands; his face was ghastly pale to the utmost extent. Strands of strong Poison of Life and Death intertwined with black and white flashed past his pupils. He lowered his head and spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood. 

Wen Leyang on the other hand fisted his hands. Every single pore on his entire body was oozing with blood that turned him into a complete blood man. He was also vomiting blood, but he was not spitting it out. He raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood mist towards the sky!

With four hits of supernatural powers, Wen Leyang was already severely injured. He was engaged in the hedging of life vitality with the enemy at this moment. Even if he managed to survive, he would only be left with half a life. 

The corners of Chi Maojiu's eyes had already cracked from glaring excessively. Every one of the long vines that grew out from his sides were giving out a bitter and sharp howl. As the vines pounced towards the enemy akin to a raging sea, First Quarter Moon and Last Quarter Moon were roaring as they moved towards him simultaneously.

Other than the witchcraft spell, Chi Maojiu was like a wooden doll. He twisted his body in a clumsy yet swift manner, and he occasionally gave out the sound of a mouse's gnawing. Occasionally, he sang the sound of a crow's caw, as he fought with First Quarter Moon and Last Quarter Moon! Everyone knew that Chi Maojiu was mad, that he was a witch, and even though his witch's play was incisive, there was no advantage for him to fight desperately with top sword immortals in close quarter!

The seven cultivators who had just dashed in from the outside paid utterly no attention to the tragic battle before their eyes. They spread out their bodies and picked up the rest of the three sword immortals as they ran towards the outside of the place of the outer fringe. 

The good hands like Tu Mi and the dwarf Taoist priest's eyes were filled with helplessness; they were lashed by the tremendous force. Even though they were not injured, yet under the shaking of their life vitality, it was difficult for them to restore their energy in a short period of time. There was no way they could launch their supernatural power to stop the enemies…

A muffled humph that hurt one's heart was heard. Chi Maojiu staggered and fell away for a few steps. He was not afraid of a one-on-one battle, but he was never a worthy opponent of the First and Last Quarter Moon when he was going up against the both of them alone. Just as Chi Maojiu was falling, Wen Leyang suddenly stretched his neck and swallowed the final mouthful of fresh blood back into his stomach. He was akin to a dizzy and confused bear. He spun around on the same spot for half a round, before swaying and staggering as he ran towards the fat man, Full Moon. 

The fat man's chin was covered in fresh blood. The moment he realized that Wen Leyang was running over, he cried and shouted, "You're not human!" He then shuffled his footsteps, spread his legs and ran away…

Meanwhile, following the sound of a soft, faint sigh, the shadow of a human figure dressed entirely in white robe, floated into the place of the outer fringe from the outside, and firmly blocked Wen Leyang, "Stop, I don't want you to die in my hands!"

Wen Leyang could certainly not tell if he was crying or laughing, so he answered subconsciously, "F*ck you!" He then stretched his arms open and grabbed hold of the other party. He urged the Faulty Punch and Poison of Life and Death, while within his mind that had only slightly regained some wit earlier, was feeling that something was amiss...

The voice sounded familiar. A whiff of a sweet orchid scent emanated into his nose; the body in his arms felt petite and soft. 

The white-robed man gave out another soft sigh with a pool of deep helplessness. It dropped onto the ground following her sigh and splashed up a puff of perplexed silence.

Wen Leyang let go of her. The other party's cultivation base was perhaps not on par with Chang Li or Zhui Zi, but her cultivation base absolutely exceeded the few descendants of the heaven's cone nails. Wen Leyang who was severely injured now, had utterly no way to force his poison power into her body. The white-robed man only held her breath and stood unmoved; she did not urge her life vitality to counterattack. 

The white-robed man shouted towards both the First Quarter Moon and Last Quarter Moon, "Stop it!" She then stretched out her hand and wiped her face, before cracking into a friendly smile towards Wen Leyang. 

Wen Leyang had already awakened; his eyes stared straight into the white-robed man. He stuttered after a long while, "Why are you here?"

It was One Word Palace's, Nineteen!
