Chapter 1516: Chapter 1516: Kai Simmons dies, Ryan Tide appears!
At this mont, Evander Mullins realized that Kai Simmons had been laying the groundwork for a long ti.
The poison in his body was definitely not sothing ford overnight.
"Evander, how was the stew I made? Quite tasty, wasn’t it? Hahaha... cough cough... cough..."
Held by Evander Mullins, Kai Simmons cast a cold gaze at him and laughed, but as his laughter continued, his face turned even paler, accompanied by a few violent coughs, expelling mouthfuls of dark blood.
At the sa ti, the vitality in Kai Simmons began to wither, clearly teetering on the brink of death.
"The stew? So that’s it... So that’s how it is... It seems that from the very beginning, you never truly intended to take
as your master! I dare say I’ve treated you well, yet in the end, you dare to harm ... Unworthy disciple! Unworthy disciple!!"
Evander Mullins understood everything. His greenish face darkened further, to the point where it seed like water could drip from it.
"Truly intended?"
Upon hearing this, Kai Simmons sneered bitterly with emotion, "In my entire life, I’ve acknowledged only one master, and it is certainly not you, Evander Mullins! Laughable, truly laughable—you actually thought you could win my loyalty... If not for enduring humiliation and awaiting the chance to avenge my master, how would I ever pretend to submit to you?"
"It’s a pity... just a little more ti... If I’d had another few months, I was confident I could make the poison erupt and kill you outright!"
Kai Simmons expressed regret as he spoke.
Evander Mullins was a peak Saint Realm cultivator, capable of resisting ordinary poisons entirely.
Thus, Kai Simmons resorted to using a slow-acting poison, a rare toxin he had discovered years ago on the Mortal Continent. Not only was it colorless and tasteless, but it was also entirely undetectable.
In truth, however, that toxin was typically innocuous.
Only when combined with a specific substance did it exhibit lethal potency.
The needle that Kai Simmons had just unexpectedly stabbed into Evander Mullins carried that activating substance, effectively unleashing the hidden poison and rendering Evander Mullins completely affected.
"Master, quickly leave! While Evander Mullins must focus entirely on detoxifying himself and dares not make a reckless move, now is your chance to escape..."
Kai Simmons turned to Evander Mullins and urged.
He knew his own concoctions well.
Evander Mullins now had only the power to protect himself. Should he move, the poison would invade his vitals, and not even a celestial deity could save him.
And Evander Mullins needed at least one or two hours to suppress the poison within.
One or two hours would be all his master, Tabo Garcia, needed to elude Evander Mullins’ pursuit.
"Kai Simmons!"
Tabo Garcia’s eyes brimd with tears, his face full of intense emotion.
n rarely cry, unless they are heartsick!
Learning that Kai had not truly betrayed him swept away the despair Tabo had felt, leaving only relief that his faith in this disciple had been rightly placed.
This disciple, who had followed him from the very beginning, always considered him his one and only master.
"Master, leave quickly!"
Yet Kai Simmons knew now was not the ti for sentintality and hurriedly urged once more.
"Didn’t you say he’s poisoned? I’ll kill him now!"
Tabo Garcia showed no intent to flee. His gaze sharpened with a chilling glint as he fixed his eyes on Evander Mullins, who was focusing on purging the poison.
"Master, he rely can’t move freely, but he’s still capable of self-defense... Go! Leave now!!"
Kai Simmons pressed again fervently, coughing up even more blood in his excitent, further worsening his own injuries.
"Alright! I’ll leave!!"
Though unwilling, Tabo Garcia knew Kai Simmons wouldn’t deceive him. Clenching his teeth, he prepared to drag Kai away.
However, at that very mont.
"Hahahaha..."
Suddenly, a robust laughter filled the air, overwhelming and full of arrogance.
Upon hearing this hearty laughter, both Tabo Garcia and Kai Simmons’ expressions changed swiftly.
In the distance, Evander Mullins stood mid-air, laughing loudly, and his face showed no signs of the greenish hue.
Evander Mullins now appeared radiant, far from resembling a poisoned man.
"Impossible! This is impossible!!"
Seeing this, Kai Simmons trembled violently, shaking his head repeatedly in disbelief, his face pale with shock.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Evander Mullins sneered, "I happen to specialize in refining dicines as a Saint Refiner, and although I’ve neglected my craft for years, in my youth, I consud the flesh and blood of a ’Thousand Poison Beast’... Since that day, my body, while not immune to all poisons, developed an extraordinary resistance to toxins."
"Your concoction is indeed clever and well-concealed. But against , it posed little threat."
Each word from Evander Mullins seed to strike the very core of Kai Simmons’ being, leaving him increasingly pale and filling his gaze with despair.
"Since your bond as master and disciple is strong, I’ll send both of you to the afterlife together!"
Evander Mullins’ gaze turned ice-cold. His body swirled like a hurricane and appeared near Tabo Garcia and Kai Simmons in an instant.
"Master, if there’s a next life, I’ll still choose to be your disciple!"
Suddenly, Kai Simmons roared defiantly, using the last shred of energy in his body to charge away from Tabo Garcia and toward Evander Mullins.
With his final ounce of strength, he sought to protect his master!
He could die without regrets!
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Evander Mullins sneered, raising his hand. Vast and surging energy instantly turned Kai Simmons into a mist of blood scattering through the air.
The blood mist sprayed heavily, sparing Evander Mullins entirely but covering Tabo Garcia’s face.
As the primal scent of blood reached his nose, Tabo Garcia felt his heart turn to ice, and his soul trembled wildly in agony. "Kai Simmons, Kai Simmons..."
"Evander Mullins, prepare to die!"
Suddenly, Tabo Garcia roared in fury, letting loose all the True Energy within his Qi Sea, fully intent on fighting Evander Mullins to the death.
But with nothing more than a giant blade ford from Evander Mullins’ True Energy, he easily dismantled Tabo Garcia’s violent attack.
"Tabo Garcia, when you were younger, you might have been a match for ... but now, you’re nothing more than an insect!"
Evander Mullins stared at Tabo Garcia coldly, his tone disdainful and condescending.
"Indeed, I can’t compare to you in strength... but the disciple I ntored far surpasses any you’ve ever trained, Evander Mullins."
On the brink of death, Tabo Garcia began to smile again, as a particular image flashed in his mind—a young man clad perpetually in violet robes, his ’hope.’
Wyatt Barnes!
"Tabo Garcia, I’ve said before—I won’t let you die quickly or painlessly... I will tornt you until you’re left with only your last breath!"
Hearing Tabo Garcia’s words, Evander Mullins’ gaze turned even colder. He began walking toward Tabo Garcia one deliberate step at a ti, resembling a hunter closing in on his prey.
Each step he took felt like a giant hamr slamming into Tabo Garcia’s chest.
In an instant, Evander Mullins suddenly extended his hand, grasping for Tabo Garcia at lightning speed.
But, at this life-or-death juncture, a swift streak of sword light suddenly pierced the void, passing between Evander Mullins and Tabo Garcia, forcing Evander Mullins to withdraw his hand in alarm.
"Who?!"
Realizing the danger of the sword light, Evander Mullins’ expression dramatically shifted.
"Hahaha... Elder Mullins, it seems we haven’t seen each other for several years, have we?"
At this mont, a burst of laughter accompanied the arrival of a robust figure—a middle-aged man with a sturdy build.
The middle-aged man, clad in flowing gray robes, held a sword in hand.
"You’re... Ryan Tide?"
Narrowing his eyes, Evander Mullins scrutinized the man before him and asked in a low voice.
"It seems Elder Mullins still rembers ."
Ryan Tide smiled.
"Hmph! Ryan Tide, I didn’t expect you, too, to have broken through to peak Saint Realm after all these years... But if you think you alone can stop , you’re sorely mistaken."
Evander Mullins snorted disdainfully.
The man before him was vaguely familiar, an Inner Sect Steward of the Moon Radiance Sect.
What he hadn’t expected was encountering him here.
For Ryan Tide to conceal himself completely within the hundred-ter radius of Evander’s domain without detection, his cultivation level was evident—he must also have reached peak Saint Realm.
Even so, Evander Mullins did not fear him.
A martial artist who had only recently attained peak Saint Realm was beneath his notice.
"Whether I can stop Elder Mullins or not... we’ll have to test that to find out."
Ryan Tide responded with an understated smile, his calm deanor suggesting he did not regard Evander Mullins highly.
"Steward Tide?"
At this juncture, Tabo Garcia regained his composure, staring at the sturdy figure before him in disbelief. He hadn’t expected Ryan Tide to appear now and seemingly shield him.
Ryan Tide was considered the youngest Inner Sect Steward in Moon Radiance Sect history.
Beyond that, he was a sword cultivator.
However, due to his reclusive nature and few interactions with others, his reputation had remained obscure.
Based on Evander Mullins’ comnt, it seed Ryan Tide had grown into a peak Saint Realm powerhouse?
"Good, very good!"
Hearing Ryan Tide’s words, Evander Mullins laughed angrily, "Ryan Tide, I’m quite curious... Why are you protecting him? As far as I know, you two have no relations at all."
"Elder Mullins, there’s no need for probing. I’m protecting him rely because soone asked
to."
Ryan Tide replied nonchalantly.
"To compel you to help him... Is that person Elder Baillie?"
At this thought, Evander Mullins’ expression changed, with a trace of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
Ryan Tide, however, gave no response, simply gazing quietly at him.
In that instant, Evander Mullins nearly confird his suspicions.
"Hmph!"
After his expression fluctuated for a mont, Evander Mullins clenched his teeth and finally chose to leave.
Still, before departing, he didn’t forget to leave behind a threat, "Ryan Tide, this feud between us is settled!"
His decision to leave ca after thorough consideration.
Initially, his intent on killing Tabo Garcia was done in secrecy.
For this purpose, his True Energy encompassed a hundred-ter area, concealing his presence entirely.
He understood well that should his identity as Tabo Garcia’s killer be revealed, it would infuriate Elder Baillie—not because Elder Baillie cared about Tabo’s fate, but because he cared about Wyatt Barnes’ sentints.
However, as long as no one knew he was the murderer, he feared nothing.
Even if Wyatt Barnes suspected him, without concrete evidence, Evander Mullins had no concern that Elder Baillie would act against him.
