Chapter 381 Tyrannical Dragon’s Resent Poison (1/2)
On the arena atop the mountain, Xu Yan lowered his head, his expression ashen as he gazed at strange blood lines that had appeared on his arms. The lines of blood gave off a bitter aura of resentment that made one shiver uncontrollably.
It was obviously some kind of terrifying poison.
“Do you think that a tiny bit of poison can scare me?”
Xu Yan’s voice was laced with frost. Genesis Qi swiftly began surging in his body, sweeping towards his arms in an attempt to expel the Dragon’s Resentment Poison.
However, the instant his Genesis Qi came into contact with the poison, he realized to his horror that his Genesis Qi was turning blood-red as if it had been infected, causing him to lose control of it.
As a result, a strange blood-red lines on his arms began to grow even darker.
A sliver of terror finally appeared on Xu Yan’s face. He stared at Zhou Yuan and shouted, “What kind of poison is this?!”
It was so domineering. Mere contact was all it took to infect even Genesis Qi. He had never heard of such a tyrannical poison.
Zhou Yuan flung off the blood on his arms, before falling to the ground on his butt. He cast a nonchalant glance at Xu Yan, and said, “If you’re smart, don’t use your Genesis Qi for the time being. If the infection spreads too deep, I’m not sure if it will be possible to save you.”
No one knew better than him how frightening the Dragon’s Resentment Poison was. It was basically impossible to neutralize. Xu Yan was currently only at the initial stage of the infection. If it worsened and the poison went berserk, he would experience pain that would make one beg for death.
“What?!”
Xu Yan’s face twisted, rage filling it as he looked towards Zhou Yuan. If he could not use Genesis Qi, how would he kick Zhou Yuan out?
“You... you’re too devious!” Xu Yan’s voice was brimming with anger.
Only now did he understand. Zhou Yuan may have appeared foolish previously when he chose to engage in a Genesis Qi clash within their bodies. His true goal had been to send the Dragon’s Resentment Poison into Xu Yan’s body.
However, Zhou Yuan merely raised his eyelids in response, basically ignoring the former. There weren’t many rules for the purple sash selection, allowing one to rely on any means one chose. Calling him devious, humph. Was Sword Cometh Peak honorable for sending so many gold sash disciples after him?
Was it not underhanded for Xu Yan to use all of his veteran purple sash disciple strength to overpower Zhou Yuan in an attempt to kick him out of the selection?
Since it was within the rules, no one could blame him.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan clearly understood that it was practically impossible for him to defeat Xu Yan at this point in time. Hence, Zhou Yuan had selected to take an unconventional approach, forcing both parties to suffer such that Xu Yan would not have any energy left to kick him out.
Both of them had now lost all their battle power. All they could do now was wait...
The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth curled upwards. He continued to ignore the fuming Xu Yan and began to inspect the injuries on his arms.
Xu Yan’s face had nearly turned green due to Zhou Yuan’s complete disregard of him, barely able to hold himself back several times from completely exploding in anger. But when he saw the strange blood liens on his arms, he could only do the rational thing and forcibly suppress his rage.
He could sense how dreadful the blood-red poison was. If he tried anything reckless and irreversible damage was done, he would certainly dearly regret it.
Thus, all he could do was stand there, not daring to make any moves.
As such, the situation instantly turned rather awkward. The two of them had been locked in a bitter struggle just moments ago, but now, one was seated on the ground, while the other was standing there, still as a statue, as he glared at the former...
This strange scene naturally caused a torrential uproar when it landed in the eyes of the countless disciples outside the mountain range.
“What are they doing?”
“Why isn’t Xu Yan attacking? Zhou Yuan has even sat down… is he resting?”
“What exactly is going on?”
“......”
Numerous disciples were completely baffled, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. They had been fighting just a second ago, why were they now peacefully sitting and talking?
Countless confused whispers spread.
Fortunately, there were some sharper disciples in the crowd that said with some hesitation, “There seems to be something strange about Xu Yan’s condition.”
“It’s not that he doesn’t want to move, but has been forced into this situation by Zhou Yuan...”
“Zhou Yuan must have done something during that Genesis Qi clash earlier.”
“......”
The other disciples thoughtfully nodded their heads when they heard this. This conjecture did seem to fit. It was the only way to explain why the usually rational Zhou Yuan would make such a seemingly foolish decision to clash Genesis Qi with Xu Yan.
The former clearly had a goal.
Xu Yan, on the other hand, had fallen prey to the trap due to underestimating Zhou Yuan.
From the current situation, if Zhou Yuan and Xu Yan continued in this manner, the giant incense stick would eventually be fully burnt. When that happened, Zhou Yuan would be the one who managed to endure the longest...
And the title champion would naturally become his.
