1004: Chapter 997 Poison Venerable is Nothing Special 1004: Chapter 997 Poison Venerable is Nothing Special “Give me ten more bottles of Soul Severance Powder!”
After three bottles of Soul Severance Powder were added into the tub, Ye Chenfeng immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, while Hua Guikun of the other tub had almost no change in facial expression.
It appeared that the three bottles of Soul Severance Powder had no effect on him.
This scene led everyone present to believe that Ye Chenfeng’s poison resistance was almost non-existent.
How could he possibly surpass Hua Guikun, the Poison Venerable of the Heavenly Alliance, in terms of poison resistance?
They thought Ye Chenfeng might be directly poisoned to death by the poison.
However, Ye Chenfeng’s statement, “Give me ten more bottles of Soul Severance Powder,” completely intensified the poison resistance competition.
At first, everyone was slightly stunned, but after the shock, seeing Ye Chenfeng’s pale face in the tub, they all came to a conclusion, was Ye Chenfeng planning a mutually assured destruction strategy?
Ye Chenfeng, fully soaked in the tub, distinctly felt the dark red gas in his Dantian continuously rotating.
As the dark red gas spun, the toxins from the Soul Severance Powder that seeped through his skin into his body were rapidly converging towards his Dantian, where the dark red gas completely devoured them.
Lin Kangsheng, the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s frenzied words, instinctively wanted to believe in Ye Chenfeng, but seeing Ye Chenfeng spitting blood and looking pale made him doubt whether Ye Chenfeng really intended to perish together with Hua Guikun, the Poison Venerable.
“Brother Ye, let’s call it quits with this poison resistance competition, shall we?
You still have another challenge left with the Heavenly Alliance,” Lin Kangsheng, learning about Ye Chenfeng’s potential and excellence, definitely did not want to see Ye Chenfeng die like this.
Moreover, even if Ye Chenfeng was unwilling to join the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, there was still a feud between Ye Chenfeng and the Heavenly Alliance, and at the very least, the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance could collaborate with Ye Chenfeng in the future.
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, Xiao Liyuan, and Cheng Dahhu, who stood next to Lin Kangsheng, all frowned.
At that moment, even Cheng Dahhu, who was originally confident in Ye Chenfeng, looked worried.
After all, Ye Chenfeng’s current condition seemed very grim to them.
While Lin Kangsheng was trying to persuade, Hua Guikun in the other tub had also recovered from his initial shock.
He too believed Ye Chenfeng was choosing to die together with him.
With three bottles of Soul Severance Powder already added to each tub, and if ten more were to be added, that would be thirteen bottles in each tub.
Hua Guikun could bear between ten and twelve bottles, but he might just grit his teeth and endure thirteen.
In Hua Guikun’s view, if ten more bottles of Soul Severance Powder were added, given Ye Chenfeng’s recent performance, he would likely die violently within thirty seconds.
Thus, in a sinister tone he said, “Boy, since you want to be insane with me, I, Hua Guikun, will accompany you to the end.
However, after those ten bottles of Soul Severance Powder are added to the tub, you probably won’t last even thirty seconds.
I really want to see how you will die in agony.”
Yan Tianjue of the Heavenly Alliance, hearing Hua Guikun’s words, said to Lin Kangsheng, “Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin, this is a competition between the Heavenly Alliance and this young man.
It might not be appropriate for the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance to interfere?”
Yan Tianjue then looked at the two members of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance responsible for adding the poison and shouted, “What are you two doing just standing there?
Didn’t you hear this young man’s request?
If you don’t get moving, then I won’t mind letting our Heavenly Alliance members take action.”
The two members responsible for adding the poison exchanged glances with Lin Kangsheng.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng had no intention of giving up the competition, Lin Kangsheng sighed, waved his hand, and said, “Let’s follow Brother Ye’s wishes!”
After hearing Lin Kangsheng’s response, the two Obliterate Heavenly Alliance members each picked up ten bottles of Soul Severance Powder and walked over to the barrels of Ye Chenfeng and Hua Guikun, pouring all the Soul Severance Powder into the two barrels.
The Soul Severance Powder was a red powder.
After adding thirteen bottles continuously, the clear water in the barrels had turned a hint of red.
The intense poison immediately penetrated through every pore in Ye Chenfeng’s body, swiftly infiltrating his system.
The toxicity of these ten bottles of Soul Severance Powder was not to be underestimated.
As the intense poison infiltrated Ye Chenfeng’s body, he initially felt a surge of blood rising internally.
However, as more potent poisons invaded, the dark red gas swirling inside Ye Chenfeng’s Dantian accelerated, the intense poison gathering like a stream into his Dantian, gradually alleviating the internal pain he felt.
Using the corner of his eye, Ye Chenfeng glanced at Hua Guikun in the adjacent barrel.
After another ten bottles of Soul Severance Powder were added, he noticed that Hua Guikun’s complexion had also turned pale, beads of sweat covering his forehead while his teeth were clenched tightly, clearly enduring with all his might.
Since Hua Guikun wanted Ye Chenfeng dead, Ye Chenfeng didn’t mind letting his opponent die in this poison resistance competition.
Thus, he deliberately forced out three mouthfuls of fresh blood from his soul and artificially feigned an appearance of being at death’s door, as though hanging on by a mere breath.
The son of the Alliance Hierarch of the Heavenly Alliance, Yan Tianjue, seeing Ye Chenfeng spitting out three mouthfuls of fresh blood and appearing as if he could die at any moment, couldn’t help feeling exhilarated and shouted, “You overestimate yourself, young man!
Do you think you can compete with our Heavenly Alliance’s Poison Venerable in poison resistance?
If you can win in this competition, then I, Yan Tianjue, will have no problem kneeling before you.”
On the other side, Lin Kangsheng and others, seeing Ye Chenfeng’s moribund state, lost the last sliver of hope they held.
Initially, they thought Ye Chenfeng had a contingency plan, but now seeing him facing death, they were utterly convinced that Ye Chenfeng truly intended to die together with Hua Guikun.
“What on earth is Ye Chenfeng doing?
Does he really want to die in this competition?” Lin Xinyi said, frowning deeply.
“Logically speaking, based on Ye Chenfeng’s previous performance, he shouldn’t have chosen such an extreme approach.
Right now, his competition with the Heavenly Alliance not only involves his own safety but also ties in with us at the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance.
Has the hope that had just ignited been extinguished so quickly?” Shen Mingxuan muttered to himself.
Just when everyone present was convinced that Ye Chenfeng intended to perish together with Hua Guikun, Ye Chenfeng, who was “barely breathing” in the barrel, weakly spoke again, “Add three more bottles of Soul Severance Powder.”
“Brother Ye, you’re joking with your life!
Please give up this competition,” Lin Kangsheng urged as he saw the dying Ye Chenfeng propose adding three more bottles of Soul Severance Powder, his anxiety reaching its peak.
Hua Guikun, who was in another barrel, was enduring the surging blood in his body.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s dying condition, he knew that these three additional bottles of Soul Severance Powder would be enough to end Ye Chenfeng’s life.
Therefore, he also urged, “Didn’t you hear?
Add three more bottles of Soul Severance Powder.”
The two members of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, tasked with adding the poison, glanced at Lin Kangsheng, who sighed helplessly.
Each of them picked up three bottles of Soul Severance Powder and added them to the two barrels.
“Spurt!
Spurt!
Spurt!”
After the addition of three more bottles of Soul Severance Powder, Hua Guikun finally couldn’t bear it any longer.
He spouted three mouthfuls of fresh blood, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
“Spurt!”
This time, Ye Chenfeng symbolically forced out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He lowered his head, his smile at the corner of his mouth growing more vibrant.
He intentionally weakened his breath a bit further, maintaining the impression of being close to death, yet not able to die just yet.
“Ye Chenfeng is likely to die in this competition.
He’s literally gambling with his life,” Lin Xinyi couldn’t help thinking about the scene in the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance’s bathroom where Ye Chenfeng had seen her naked.
This made her bite her red lips lightly.
Lin Kangsheng, as the Vice Hierarch of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, had no reason to intervene now.
Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan were all sighing and shaking their heads.
Just then, the dying Ye Chenfeng spoke again, “Add five more bottles of Soul Severance Powder.”
This time, the two members of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance didn’t even ask Lin Kangsheng for permission, knowing that he couldn’t stop the competition anyway.
They unhesitatingly picked up five bottles of Soul Severance Powder each and walked toward the barrels of Ye Chenfeng and Hua Guikun.
Yan Tianjue and the Emperor Level powerhouse Ma Liangcai from Heavenly Alliance also knew about the toxicity of Soul Severance Powder.
By now, sixteen bottles had been added to the barrels.
Adding five more would make it twenty-one bottles.
Such intense toxins might be too much even for Poison Venerable Hua Guikun.
But seeing the dying Ye Chenfeng, they instinctively felt that adding these five bottles would surely end Ye Chenfeng’s life immediately.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, another five bottles of Soul Severance Powder were added to the two barrels.
This time, Hua Guikun was overwhelmed by the severe poison, feeling as if all his internal organs were about to be torn apart.
He spewed five large mouthfuls of fresh blood.
The fierce toxins continued ravaging his body.
If he stayed in the barrel any longer, he was likely to die within twenty seconds.
With a loud splash,
Hua Guikun recklessly burst out of the barrel and collapsed onto the ground, nowhere close to maintaining his dignified bearing as Poison Venerable.
Yan Tianjue, upon seeing Hua Guikun rush out of the barrel and glancing at the dying Ye Chenfeng, sneered, “Kid, even if you win this competition, what does it matter?
With your current condition, you probably won’t even survive today.”
Lin Kangsheng and the others also gazed at the dying Ye Chenfeng, bowing his head.
They felt his breath becoming increasingly ragged.
After twenty-one bottles of Soul Severance Powder, Ye Chenfeng most likely wouldn’t survive.
Originally, Ye Chenfeng had intended to fatally exhaust Hua Guikun.
But seeing Hua Guikun leave the barrel, he knew there was no point in pretending anymore.
Suddenly, he raised his head, wearing a bright smile, and lazily stretched his arms.
He stood up from the barrel, showing no signs of poisoning nor any trace of imminent death.
He looked perfectly fine.
Under everyone’s astonished eyes, Ye Chenfeng walked out of the barrel and looked at Hua Guikun, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, and tauntingly said, “So much for the Poison Venerable, huh!” (To be continued.
