Chapter 1873: I Don't Feel Anything!

“Don’t be afraid to reveal, today under the Xuanyuan Cliff, no one can save the remnants of the Ouyang family!”

Lu Zhanbai first mocked Yun Xiao, then pointed coldly at Ouyang Yi, and at the same time, his body exuded a strong aura of the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage.

“Wu Jiantong, Duan Wuwei, if you’re not afraid of implicating the Holy Medicine League and the Heart Poison Sect, feel free to make a move!”

In fact, the only one Lu Zhanbai was wary of was Wu Jiantong, who was also at the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage, so at this moment, he unleashed his Meridian Qi, threatening them the next moment.

Hearing Lu Zhanbai’s words, Wu Jiantong, who had just moved, immediately halted, looking at Yun Xiao with a somewhat ugly and helpless expression.

“Brother Wu, Brother Duan, you two can just watch the show. Dealing with these insignificant foes doesn’t require your intervention, does it?”

Just when Wu Jiantong and Duan Wuwei felt a bit troubled, the white-robed youth spoke up first. Hearing his tone, many people revealed a look of disdain.

How dare a mere Half-step Holy Rank guy talk to a true Holy Vein Hua Xuan Realm expert like this? This continent ultimately respects the strong, and those who show no reverence for strength can only invite disdain.

“Lu Zhanbai, right? Don’t be afraid to reveal, today this Brother Ouyang, I’m determined to protect!”

After reassuring Wu and Duan, Yun Xiao turned his gaze to Lu Zhanbai, and his words instantly turned the face of this Lu family genius extremely gloomy.

Even though Yun Xiao had previously used some means in Ancient Wood City to render Lu Zhanbai powerless, the Lu family genius felt something was off upon reflection.

It seemed the opponent already knew the method to counter the techniques he used in Ancient Wood City. Under such premeditated calculations, how could he not lose?

Therefore, in Lu Zhanbai’s mind, he already regarded this white-robed youth as a despicable opportunist who somehow discovered his Meridian Techniques and caught him off guard.

Lu Zhanbai was after all a cultivator at the early Hua Xuan Realm. Moreover, because of the energy fluctuations at the Xuanyuan Platform that day, they hadn’t settled the score, which reignited his immense confidence a few days later.

“I will show you what a true Holy Rank expert is!”

Lu Zhanbai was certain that neither Jiang Jingyu nor Gu Zhixuan would likely be Yun Xing’s match, so he unleashed a strong Hua Xuan Realm aura, seemingly about to strike in the next moment.

“Brother Yun Xing, thank you for your help, but you should step back, lest you bring disaster upon your family!”

Sensing the powerful Meridian Qi aura from Lu Zhanbai, Ouyang Yi’s face turned a bit ashen. Yet, he extended his hand at this moment, speaking as he pushed against Yun Xiao’s back.

Ouyang Yi had clearly sensed that this white-robed youth shared the same Half-step Holy Rank cultivation as himself. Although he acted timely, indeed blocking Gu Zhixuan’s powerful finger, overcoming a true Holy Vein expert was certainly impossible.

Ouyang Yi was upright and did not want to drag such a good friend into the water. Today’s situation was perilous, and this hero who stood out might inadvertently get burned.

“Even if I step back now, that guy probably won’t let me off, right?”

Under Ouyang Yi’s push, Yun Xiao stood firm, instead pointing towards Lu Zhanbai with his finger, leaving Ouyang Yi speechless.

Ouyang Yi knew that the moment this white-robed youth intervened, they were already in the same boat; they either rise together or fall together.

Ouyang Yi knew how overbearing the Lu family was, especially with a unique figure like the Empress of Canglong. Over the years, they only bullied others, and outsiders never dared to provoke them.

“Since that’s the case, today we fight side by side against these hateful people, fighting to the death!”

Ouyang Yi made up his mind, feeling less fear and more fighting spirit. But hearing his words, many present sneered coldly.

“Hmph, a mere Half-step Holy Rank has the audacity to fight to the death with Mr. Bai?”

This time, before Lu Zhanbai could speak, the Wansu Sect genius Gu Zhixuan spoke up, a proud smile appearing on his face.

“Mr. Bai, this kid has already been poisoned by my Black Evil Finger. He won’t survive past a quarter of an hour!”

Only at this moment did Gu Zhixuan reveal his prideful work. Previously, although Yun Xing seemed to have blocked his attack aimed at Ouyang Yi, he had in fact brought trouble upon himself.

As a genius of the Wansu Sect, Gu Zhixuan is known as the Poisonous Evil, and his so-called Black Evil Finger is his signature technique. Cultivators hit by the Black Evil Finger inevitably end up as a pool of pus and blood, dying miserably.

Previously in Ancient Wood City, Gu Zhixuan indeed witnessed Yun Xiao’s combat prowess and Poison Meridian Skill, but he had great confidence in his own Black Evil Finger, especially since he made direct contact with the opponent’s skin and flesh, which boosted his confidence even further.

Hearing Gu Zhixuan’s words, even Lu Zhanbai was quite pleased. If it could be so effortless to dispose of that young man in white, it would indeed be a delightful matter for him.

Additionally, Lu Zhanbai knew Gu Zhixuan’s Poison Meridian Skill was extraordinary, and that young man hadn’t reached the true Holy Vein Three Realms, so being poisoned in such a manner was indeed very likely.

The other onlookers also directed mournful glances towards the young man in white upon hearing this, secretly wondering if even the guy whom Lu Zhanbai highly regarded might be mysteriously poisoned to death just like this?

“Brother Yun Xing, are you poisoned?”

Ouyang Yi’s expression changed dramatically, as if he wanted to reach out and examine Yun Xiao’s right palm closely, but he wasn’t a Meridian Refining Master, so even if he knew what kind of poison it was, there was no remedy.

“Let me take a look!”

On the other side, Duan Wuwei from the Heart Poison Sect moved suddenly, and after speaking, he intended to advance. As a genius of the Heart Poison Sect, he knew exactly how formidable Gu Zhixuan’s Black Evil Finger was.

Even though Duan Wuwei was a Half-step Holy Rank Meridian Refining Master like Gu Zhixuan, he wasn’t absolutely sure he could neutralize the poison from the so-called Black Evil Finger. He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

“Brother Wu, what are you doing?”

However, just as Duan Wuwei started to move, a sideways hand reached out to pull him back. When he turned his head and saw that it was Wu Jiantong who had stopped him, he was shocked and puzzled, uttering a question of confusion.

“Brother Wuwei, you’re underestimating Brother Yun Xing. Can’t you see he doesn’t exhibit a trace of anxiety?”

Wu Jiantong had much more confidence in Yun Xiao than Duan Wuwei. Upon hearing this, the latter’s gaze quickly turned back to the young man in white not far away, seeing indeed, as Wu Jiantong said, that the young man showed no sign of anxiety or urgency.

Previously, Wu Jiantong had witnessed Yun Xiao’s Meridian Refining Technique when the Demon Spirit Bear Gallbladder’s poison dispersed just from Yun Xiao’s light touch, which amazed Wu Jiantong greatly.

Even Wu Jiantong himself was helpless against that special poison, so solely based on that, the young man’s Poison Meridian Skill or rather Detoxification Method was far superior to Wu Jiantong’s.

Thus, the poison from Gu Zhixuan’s Half-step Holy Rank Black Evil Finger might not truly harm Yun Xing, which was the real reason Wu Jiantong stopped Duan Wuwei, perhaps also to protect this Heart Poison Sect genius.

Because Wu Jiantong firmly believed Yun Xiao would neutralize those poisons, but on the other side was Lu Zhanbai, a Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage cultivator. If he were to make a move, it would undoubtedly be overwhelming.

At this moment, Wu Jiantong felt conflicted; he had a good impression of Yun Xiao, and if Lu Zhanbai indeed made a move, he genuinely didn’t know whether to assist Yun Xing.

As per Wu Jiantong’s intentions, he would naturally help Yun Xiao without hesitation, but he had the Holy Doctor Alliance backing him. If this incident led to the Lu Family or even the Emperor Canglong Palace bearing a grudge, it could be endlessly troublesome in the future.

“How’s it going, kid? Are you sensing your right palm tingling and itching unbearably? Let me tell you, in a moment, that tingling and itching will spread across your body, making you wish you could dig out your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys to scratch them!”

Gu Zhixuan naturally hadn’t heard Wu Jiantong and Duan Wuwei’s conversation, and at this moment, he was feeling quite smug. Upon hearing the terrible outcome that he described, many people shuddered reflexively.

If the Black Evil Finger poison merely killed directly, it might not be so terrifying, but the unbearable full-body itching, coupled with being unable to simply die, was a torment beyond the endurance of ordinary people.

At this moment, many decided never to provoke that Poison Meridian genius from the Wansu Sect, or else the young man in white’s fate would be their cautionary tale.

“I don’t really feel as you’ve described, but rather, don’t you feel your right hand tingling?”

After Gu Zhixuan’s sinister laughter faded, Yun Xiao shook his head slowly and spoke a sentence that stunned many, secretly thinking it was a copycat move.

“Hmm?”

However, as the crowd tried to comprehend Yun Xiao’s words, they suddenly noticed that the Poison Meridian genius from Wansu Sect’s expression had subtly changed, and he indeed raised his right hand.

In the space between Gu Zhixuan’s index and middle fingers on his right hand, a patch of black was slowly spreading, resembling when he previously executed Black Evil Finger, yet with some slight differences.
