1022: Digging one’s own grave 1022: Digging one’s own grave “Come on, Ye Chenfeng!
Come on, Ye Chenfeng!
How could I, Poison Venerable Hua Guikun, possibly be inferior to you in poison resistance?”
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang—”
After Ye Chenfeng appeared in the basement, the emotions of Poison Venerable Hua Guikun spiraled further out of control.
Before encountering Ye Chenfeng, he had considered himself the world’s foremost expert in the use of poison.
However, Ye Chenfeng had crushed his self-confidence to dust, causing his inner world to collapse completely.
Hua Guikun started smashing various bottles and jars of poison from the laboratory bench onto the floor.
The level of toxins in the air surged dramatically, causing even Poison Venerable Hua Guikun to turn red-faced and cough up streaks of fresh blood.
Fortunately, Hua Guikun had previously consumed various antidotes; otherwise, even he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the onslaught of so many toxins.
Standing behind the metal door, Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi suddenly smelled the sharply rising toxins in the air.
With a ‘puh’ sound, Lin Xinyi spat out a mouthful of blood.
She clenched her teeth tightly, her complexion turning pale as if her blood were being rapidly drained, her delicate body swaying as though about to fall.
Although the dark red gas in Ye Chenfeng’s Dantian began to circulate, the sudden increase in toxins was too much for it to absorb instantly.
This caused a surge of blood in Ye Chenfeng’s body and a fishy taste to emerge in his throat, followed by a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Lin Xinyi’s condition worsening by his side, Ye Chenfeng knew he could not expect her to join him in attacking Hua Guikun.
He stared intently at the hysterical Hua Guikun; he couldn’t afford to delay any longer because Lin Xinyi definitely wouldn’t last much longer here.
Ye Chenfeng elevated the Venerable Level Middle Stage Soul Force within his body.
Whirlwinds appeared around the soles of his feet, and he immediately executed the Storm Profound Step Method without any reservation.
A tempest surged, shrinking distances as if they were mere inches.
In an instant, Ye Chenfeng’s figure rushed towards Poison Venerable Hua Guikun, who, upon seeing Ye Chenfeng make his move, contorted his face into an even more fierce snarl.
He didn’t dodge or evade but met Ye Chenfeng’s fist with his own.
With a “thud,” a muffled sound resonated in the air.
“Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!”
Ye Chenfeng stepped back five paces, while Poison Venerable Hua Guikun, upon seeing this, laughed madly and said, “Ye Chenfeng, do you really think you can surpass me in strength?
Last time, during the confrontation with the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, I was only able to use the strength of the Venerable Level Initial Stage.
But this time, I can unleash the full strength of the Venerable Level Peak.
Whether in poison resistance or in combat power, you will never be a match for me, the Poison Venerable.”
Lin Xinyi, leaning against the metal door, wanted to help Ye Chenfeng as she saw him repelled by the Poison Venerable.
But as more toxins entered her body, her strength rapidly ebbed.
She had barely taken a step forward when she began to falter even more, sliding down to the floor with her back against the metal door.
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!”
Poison Venerable Hua Guikun, after pushing back Ye Chenfeng with a punch, continued to smash several bottles of poison onto the ground.
He deeply inhaled and then ‘puh,’ spat out a mouthful of fresh blood while his face expressed sheer enjoyment, saying, “Ye Chenfeng, this taste is exquisite.
Don’t you think so?”
Ye Chenfeng, feeling the increasingly potent toxins in the air, rotated the dark red gas within his Dantian even faster.
Nonetheless, he still felt discomfort in his body.
Seeing Poison Venerable Hua Guikun looking utterly mad, Ye Chenfeng’s eyes grew even more solemn.
“Ye Chenfeng, let’s have a great battle in this splendid environment now!
Don’t worry; I won’t let you die just yet.
I still need to bring you before our young master!” Poison Venerable Hua Guikun said as he extended his blood-red tongue and licked his lips.
As Hua Guikun’s words fell, he raised the Soul Force of his Venerable Level Peak within his body.
Like a whirlwind, he swiftly appeared in front of Ye Chenfeng and aimed a side kick at Ye Chenfeng’s waist.
Ye Chenfeng was inferior to Hua Guikun in both speed and strength; however, Ye Chenfeng possessed an extremely formidable ability to sense danger.
When Poison Venerable Hua Guikun’s foot was aimed at his waist, Ye Chenfeng instantly extended an arm to block it.
With a “bang!”,
Ye Chenfeng felt his entire arm go numb, and he took five or six steps back.
Fortunately, his physical strength had reached the Saint Level Middle Stage.
Otherwise, the bones in his arm might have broken from just now after withstanding Hua Guikun’s attack.
“Ye Chenfeng, weren’t you quite impressive at the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance’s Nourishment Villa?
Where’s that liquid that even Saint Level experts can’t resist?” Hua Guikun taunted.
“Even if you spill it, I can easily dodge it.
Today there will be no miracles happening to you.” Ever since the battle started, although Poison Venerable Hua Guikun seemed a bit crazed, he remained vigilant inside.
After all, Ye Chenfeng had already injured two Saint Level experts with that unknown liquid.
Indeed, Ye Chenfeng still had several bottles of Bone Corrosion Liquid on him, but he could see that Hua Guikun was not lowering his guard.
If he rashly threw the Bone Corrosion Liquid, it would not only be a waste but would also make Hua Guikun even more cautious.
Now that Hua Guikun had brought up the Bone Corrosion Liquid himself, Ye Chenfeng knew it would be nearly impossible to kill Hua Guikun with it today.
Sitting slumped on the ground, leaning against the metal door, Lin Xinyi watched Ye Chenfeng as he was forced to retreat.
Her eyelids were growing heavier.
She struggled to keep them open, but they quickly closed again, and the scene before her eyes started to blur.
A moment before losing consciousness, she thought, “Am I really going to die this time?”
Ye Chenfeng had no time to look after Lin Xinyi.
Dealing with Poison Venerable Hua Guikun was the most important thing at hand, but Hua Guikun was far stronger than him, and his wariness was high.
Using the Bone Corrosion Liquid as a surprise attack would certainly be impossible.
Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze settled on the pool at the left side of the basement.
It was filled to the brim with colorful liquid, which, according to Hua Guikun, even he couldn’t resist.
Within Ye Chenfeng’s Dantian, there was a dark red gas that could counter it.
Now, if he wanted to defeat Hua Guikun, he only had one risky option—to grab Hua Guikun and jump into the pool together.
This was the best strategy to deal with Hua Guikun at the moment.
Ye Chenfeng moved a few steps toward the pool on the left.
Upon seeing this, Poison Venerable Hua Guikun said, “Ye Chenfeng, you better not fall into that pool.
Otherwise, not even I can save your life.
Just surrender obediently and avoid any further pain.”
“I don’t believe I’ll lose to you,” Ye Chenfeng replied with a cold laugh.
“Even if my strength falls short of yours, when it comes to poison resistance, I far surpass you.”
“You’re asking for punishment by refusing a toast,” Poison Venerable Hua Guikun muttered, his brows furrowed tightly as he once again dashed toward Ye Chenfeng.
This time, Ye Chenfeng didn’t try to dodge.
Instead, he charged toward Hua Guikun.
In a contemptuous tone, Poison Venerable Hua Guikun said, “Do you really think you can defeat me?”
However, as Ye Chenfeng got close to Poison Venerable, he chose not to attack.
Instead, he wrapped his arms tightly around Hua Guikun’s waist, and with all his might, he swung them both toward the pool.
It was then that Poison Venerable Hua Guikun realized Ye Chenfeng’s intent.
Did Ye Chenfeng want them to die together?
His fists pounded relentlessly against Ye Chenfeng’s back.
Though blood spilled continuously from Ye Chenfeng’s mouth, he held on tightly.
As they approached the edge, the frantic look on Hua Guikun’s face faded.
He was well aware of the toxicity of the liquid in the pool—even he would be killed within seconds.
“Ye Chenfeng, have you gone mad?
Let go of me, let go!” Hua Guikun exclaimed as he faced impending death.
“We can discuss this further.”
Poison Venerable Hua Guikun had prepared such a pool in the basement, an act which was undoubtedly digging his own grave.
