Chapter 36: Colossal Power! If I kill you first, then you can’t kill !
“She Ji? Impossible! How is this possible? Where did you get a snake tail to trick ?”
Though Lord of a Hundred Poisons spoke words of disbelief, his eyes were wide open in shock. He even unconsciously leaned forward a little to see more clearly. He was so focused on the snake’s tail on the ground that he didn’t notice that Xu Xuan had vanished.
“Nephew Xu—”
Xuan Zhen, however, saw Xu Xuan sprinkle sothing over himself. In the next mont, Xu Xuan completely disappeared from his senses, even his eyes could no longer detect a trace of him! When Xu Xuan reappeared, he was already atop the massive snake body of the Lord of a Hundred Poisons. No matter how distracted he was, a person this big climbing onto his body wouldn’t go unnoticed.
“You brat, do you have a death wish?!”
The Lord of a Hundred Poisons roared in fury, his enormous body rapidly shrinking. If not for learning human techniques, if not for this very mont to slay human cultivators, why would demon beasts go through the pain of taking human form?
“You’re just at the Innate Stage and instead of running, you dare interfere in a battle between Golden Cores? Today I’ll show you what death truly ans!”
Xu Xuan didn’t reply, he simply swung his enhanced Po Yue Sword* with all his strength. He originally wanted to reach the snake’s vital point before attacking, but since the opportunity was gone, he struck early instead. The heavy sword, weighing almost 2500kg, was driven by a force exceeding 30 tric tons and was brought down fiercely upon the rapidly shrinking snake body.
To strike decisively, Xu Xuan poured everything he had into this blow. At the mont of swinging, he activated the petrification divine ability he had just acquired. But unlike the red glow in She Ji’s eyes, Xu Xuan’s petrification emitted a faint stone-grey light. When the light touched the Lord of a Hundred Poisons’ snake scales that were impervious to blades, fire, or water and instantly turned into a ruined, ashen gray. The sword, neither quite a sword nor quite a mace, ca down, its sharp tip glittering with golden light. Facing a transford demon beast, Xu Xuan didn’t dare be careless and concentrated all of his Gengjin sword aura at the tip of the blade.
Crack! Crack!
First ca the sound of stone shattering, followed by the sharp sword piercing flesh, and finally, a strange sizzling sound.
“Aaaargh! It hurts! Damn it! Damn it all! What the hell did you do to ?!”
The Lord of a Hundred Poisons howled in pain, his body twisting and shrinking, trying to throw Xu Xuan off and return to his best combat form. Xu Xuan knew once he returned to human form, he’d be several tis more difficult to deal with especially since he was a fully ford demon capable of flight. At that point, he could just kite him in the air endlessly.
Now was the best chance for Xu Xuan to defeat him! Gripping the Po Yue Sword with one hand to steady himself, his other hand reached into the divine storage box tucked in his robe. One by one, he took out all kinds of vials and bottles without even checking them, he shoved them directly into the gaping wound.
Sssss…sssss…
Bottles of special poisons and knockout agents were thrown in. Even from over a hundred ters away, Xuan Zhen could sll the overwhelming stench. As black smoke began to rise from the Lord of a Hundred Poisons’ body—
“You brat, die!”
The demon, after all, was a high-level demon beast. As a serpent, he had high resistance to poisons. Despite suffering a deadly combo attack from Xu Xuan, he finally managed to revert to his human form. But he looked terrible with his back and torso riddled with wounds down to the bone, oozing foul-slling pus and black smoke. He kept baring his teeth from the pain, clearly even for him, the injuries were unbearable.
“You brat, you’re not running?”
What was even more surprising to him was despite his now much more agile human form, Xu Xuan didn’t flee but instead launched another attack.
“Run? Why should I run? You’re the one who should be running, right?”
The Po Yue Sword pinned the Lord’s foot to the ground. Before he could react, Xu Xuan’s fist smashed into his face.
“Demon, prepare to die!”
Compared to swords, Xu Xuan was more proficient with fists. As a grandmaster in martial arts and a founder of his sect, his fa was well-earned.
Boom! Boom!
A series of heavy blows landed on the demon’s head and chest. The ground beneath them sank three to four feet, and the Lord of a Hundred Poisons was dazed like a beaten snake. If he were any other demon race, he’d probably be a puddle of at by now. But as a serpent, his iron-like skin and flexible bones allowed him to barely survive this brutal beating.
“I’ll cut you into a thousand pieces!”
Though poisoned and physically suppressed, his monstrous demonic power remained unaffected. With a thought, two curved blades turned into countless rotating wheels of blades, accompanied by wind blades, wind swords, and wind spears!
“Die—ugh!”
The demon shouted in fury, only to be punched back in the gut by Xu Xuan. But the hundreds of blade wheels and wind attacks still ca crashing down on Xu Xuan.
“Watch out, Xu Xuan!”
Xuan Zhen cried out and moved to assist. He had seen these blades before. One or two weren’t much, but hundreds were terrifying. Countering them ant failing to keep up in number and speed, defending ant draining energy too quickly. Other than dodging, Xuan Zhen couldn’t think of any better solution.
“Truly a high-level demon—so troubleso.”
Xu Xuan’s power was imnse, and his defence was impressive too. Whether Innate cultivators or half-ford demon beasts, they likely couldn’t even scratch him if he stood still. But he didn’t have any defensive-specific traits, while the demon’s blade wheels were carefully refined magic weapons. A slight misstep, and he could be shredded into bits! Run? If Xu Xuan wanted to run, he wouldn’t have co back in the first place. Since he returned, he was fully prepared! High-level demon beast? Iron skin? Wind blades? Blade wheels? Thousands of cuts? What’s there to fear?
If I kill you first, then you can’t kill !
“System, fuse traits!”
On a panel only Xu Xuan could see, new and old traits quickly disappeared:
[Leap], [Glide], [Poison]…
All the traits he had just looted from She Ji—he didn’t even have ti to look at them. They were gone in an instant. Only [Power of Four Elephants] grew ever brighter, until a brilliant red light completed its transformation.
[Congratulations, host. New Trait Acquired: Colossal Power (Red)]
TL/N: Po Yue or the Mountain-Crusing Sword he got from the Weaponry Forging Sect previously
