Chapter 1274 - 1374: Senior Medical Cultivator

Ye Tianfan and Senior Brother Yun Tian had just finished preparing when the voice of Taichu Zhenren, though not loud, but penetrating, reached them.

"The second round of the competition is about to begin. Each of you, ascend to your respective platforms."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan nodded towards Senior Brother Yun Tian.

"Senior Brother Yun Tian, I'm heading off, good luck!"

After speaking, Ye Tianfan summoned his Flying Sword and flew towards the sixty-fourth platform. Previously, these platforms had been merged under Ye Tianfan's control, forming sixty-four large platforms, thus they were larger now than before.

Once Ye Tianfan landed on the platform, he looked towards his opponent and found that it was a woman. He then cupped his hands in greeting: "Ye Tianfan, disciple of Taichu Sect, greets Elder Xuantian."

Ye Tianfan knew this Elder, and she was from Qiankun Sect. The reason Ye Tianfan knew this person was because she was the sole female Elder of Qiankun Sect, which made her recognizable to him.

The opponent, seeing Ye Tianfan greet her first, also cupped her hands: "Xuantian of Qiankun Sect."

After exchanging greetings, they both stood in place, neither speaking further, given the situation.

"The competition begins!"

Following Taichu Zhenren's shout, Ye Tianfan once again summoned the Fire Lotus Sword, though it hadn't been used in the previous match, where he had won somewhat confusingly, but this time it might indeed be used.

Ye Tianfan brought forth the Fire Lotus Sword yet was not impatient to attack, choosing instead to wait for his opponent to be ready, as Ye Tianfan wanted to see what capabilities this Elder sister possessed.

"Not bad, it seems you are rather cautious, knowing to first probe into my abilities. I'll show you my skills; I'll attack first, be careful," said Elder Xuantian, somewhat admiring Ye Tianfan's decision not to initiate an attack immediately.

Elder Xuantian made a Spell sign towards Ye Tianfan, and instantly purple spheres formed in the air, rushing towards Ye Tianfan.

Seeing these spheres flying towards him, Ye Tianfan quickly began evading. The spheres moved at an undeniably swift speed, and he barely managed to dodge them. Any misstep could result in being hit, but Ye Tianfan managed to dodge the predicted paths of those spheres as well.

After dodging the attack, before Ye Tianfan could react, he saw the purple spheres explode upon hitting the ground. The explosion had no real force, instead it released a dense cloud of purple smoke.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Tianfan's face turned purple as he exclaimed internally, "Good heavens, this Elder Xuantian actually plays with poison?"

"You Qiankun Sect folks, you don't practice your Artifact Cultivation, but instead play non-mainstream games; the first elder I faced was using Arrays, and now this elder uses Medical Cultivation! How much do you neglect your Artifact Cultivation that such situations arise?"

Though Ye Tianfan didn't know the effect of this poison, he definitely didn't want to try it. Even with his high toxin resistance, against an Elder of such skill, the poison truly posed a threat. Trying to acclimate in such an environment would be catastrophic.

Elder Xuantian sneered coldly as Ye Tianfan dashed around to avoid the toxic gas, pondering over the complete spread across every corner of the platform. What would he use to evade once it has fully dispersed? Medical Cultivators' foremost attack method is poison, though some sophisticated ones might use nourishment. But now it's just a spar, extravagant moves aren't necessary.

The reason nourishment is deemed extravagant is due to the saying "Can't take too much when weak," meaning excessive supplements can be detrimental. This move forces the enemy to overnourish until they explode.

To perform this nourishment move requires exceedingly rare supplements, greatly enriching Medical Cultivators who can employ such ultimate tactics.

When Elder Xuantian saw Ye Tianfan leap into the air to dodge a wisp of toxic gas, she suddenly retrieved a delicate and refined Hand Crossbow from her sleeve.

While maneuvering in the air, Ye Tianfan sensed a dangerous aura aiming at him, hearing the piercing sound. Instantly his feet summoned heavy Spiritual Qi to create a stepping board. After flipping in mid-air, he landed stably.

"Well, I'll be! This Elder Xuantian indeed plays dirty, even with her strength much superior, she resorts to underhandedness. I've sure gained insight!"

Ye Tianfan looked towards Elder Xuantian.

He saw her aiming at him with the tiny Hand Crossbow, while behind her sounds of hissing leaking air were audible.

Yet Ye Tianfan had no time to investigate, as he saw Elder Xuantian's Hand Crossbow firing towards him once again.

As Ye Tianfan dodged these Crossbow Arrows, he seized the moment to glance at the origin of those hissing sounds.

Upon seeing the source, Ye Tianfan felt his face turn green with shock.

The hissing noises originated from the Crossbow Arrows he had dodged earlier, now slowly releasing visibly toxic cyan gas.

These cyan gases melded with the purple poison as they mingled in the air. Now, Ye Tianfan beheld wisps of cyan and purple everywhere, with nearly no spots left untouched.

Moreover, as these gases touched the ground, sizzling sounds were emitted; the ground was eroding rapidly, pockmarked.

"My heavens, is this poison so intense?" Ye Tianfan broke into a cold sweat. Although he didn't reinforce the ground, it was exceptionally hard, requiring full effort to create a small opening; yet this poison can corrode the ground into pits, encountering even a slight touch could be fatal!

Ye Tianfan anxiously stared at Elder Xuantian, thinking, "Dear Elder sister, it's just a martial meeting, mainly for entertainment. Is it necessary to cause fatal results?"
