Chapter 87 - 87: Poison Retreats the Demon
They were a Late-stage Golden Elixir Realm expert and a Mid-stage Golden Elixir Realm expert. It was not a problem for them to deal with a Late-stage Golden Elixir realm demon.
Even if that demon had outstanding combat strength, they were confident that they could escape unscathed.
“Children, don’t panic. This old man’s treasure ship was built with a lot of money. Even if a peak Jindan came, he wouldn’t be able to break it easily.” Perfected Dan Yang confidently comforted everyone and turned to look coldly at the demon. “Fellow Daoist, are you waiting for that Energy Splitting Stone or the Cracking Pill my junior brother refined?”
“A mere Energy Splitting Stone is not worth me risking my life alone.” Black Water Palace Lord stared at Cheng Xu greedily, almost drooling. “Leave this kid here, and 1 can let you go.”
As soon as he said this, Dan Yang and Chi Yao’s expressions changed.
Cheng Xu was not stupid. He vaguely guessed that the other party was here for the black substance in his body. He was surprised and confused.
What exactly was that black substance? To think that Black Water Palace Lord would place so much importance on him.
“Fellow Daoist, are you here to avenge Xue Jingcheng?” Chi Yao’s expression was uncertain.
Black Water Palace Lord did not say anything. As he snorted and sneered, the black mucus that spread out from his body seemed to boil as it turned into a terrifying black gas that charged towards the treasured ship.
Boom!
The black gas attack was blocked by the defensive light shield of the treasured ship, and the ship shook violently.
“Do you really think my Medicine Celestial Valley is easy to bully?” Perfected Dan Yang was furious. “Junior Brother, protect the children. 1’11 go and meet that demon!”
As he spoke, he flew out of the protective barrier of the treasured ship and took out a few medicinal pills from his storage bag and consumed them one by one.
In the blink of an eye, Daoist Dan Yang’s aura rose from Late-stage Golden Core to peak Golden Core.
Black Water Palace Master narrowed his eyes.
The two Late-stage Golden Core experts fought fiercely in the air. The terrifying energy fluctuations made everyone tremble with fear.
While protecting everyone, Chi Yao Zhenren didn’t stay idle. He found an opportunity to suppress them with a Qi True Word.
“Puff!” Blackwater Palace Lord choked on the spot and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, he was sent flying by Perfected Dan Yang’s sword.
However, Black Water Palace Lord’s injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye under the healing of the black mucus. He sneered and extended a demonic claw that covered the sky. As he forced Daoist Dan Yang back, he grabbed at the treasured ship.
Bang!
The protective shield of the treasure ship creaked under the pressure of the Demon Claw, and it could collapse at any time.
“Demon, don’t be so arrogant!”
When Perfected Dan Yang saw this, his glabella suddenly lit up. Wisps of smoke-like flames flew out from his glabella and wrapped around Black Water Palace Lord and the demonic claw.
It was none other than the Dan Yang True Fire cultivated from the Dan Yang Mystic Scripture.
Different from the Brilliant Scarlet True Fire of the Brilliant Scarlet lineage, the Elixir Yang True Fire of the Elixir Yang lineage was extremely strong.
In the blink of an eye, the demonic claw was burned and dissipated.
Black Water Palace Lord’s face turned hideous from the flames. “What a powerful Primordial Fire. 1 underestimated your Medicine Celestial Valley!” “Hmph, since you’re already here, then don’t leave!”
Seeing that the Primordial Fire was effective against the demon, Perfected Dan Yang’s confidence increased. He wanted to take Black Water Palace Lord down in one fell swoop.
“Ridiculous!” Black Water Palace Lord sneered. “Although your Primordial Fire is extraordinary, it’s still far from enough to take me down!”
Black Water Palace Lord laughed loudly as boundless black gas rapidly spread in all directions. A radius of several kilometers instantly fell into darkness.
Black Water Palace Lord’s maniacal laughter echoed in the darkness.
Boom!
The protective shield of the treasured ship was constantly being eroded in the darkness, and its energy was rapidly being drained.
Perfected Dan Yang was also eroded by the strange darkness around him. As his magic power was rapidly lost, his entire body seemed to have fallen into a swamp, and his mobility was greatly restricted.
Even the Dan Yang True Fire on his body was unable to emit a trace of light.
The entire space seemed to have fallen into absolute darkness, and there was not a trace of light to be seen.
On the treasured ship, the Medicine Celestial Valley disciples panicked.
Only Cheng Xu had a strange expression on his face because the black substance in his body seemed to be absorbing the darkness around him. However, because it was blocked by the protective shield, the absorption was a little slow.
“Master, try bringing me out of the protective barrier.”
“What do you want?” Chi Yao Zhenren had a face full of hesitation.
“Hurry up, otherwise, Sect Master Senior Uncle won’t be able to hold on for long.” Cheng Xu said anxiously.
In the darkness, one could vaguely hear Perfected Dan Yang’s labored groans.
Chi Yao Zhenren hesitated for a moment. Although he didn’t know what Cheng Xu could do, he still brought Cheng Xu out of the protective shield.
The moment he passed through the protective shield, Cheng Xu’s body instantly turned into a black hole, crazily devouring the surrounding darkness.
In just a moment, the darkness that enveloped the surroundings was completely devoured by Cheng Xu, and the surroundings returned to its original light.
On Perfected Dan Yang’s side, he had been beaten back by Black Water Palace Lord and was in a sorry state.
“This… How did you do it?”
Chi Yao Zhenren looked around in disbelief.
Cheng Xu did not say a word as he stared straight at Black Water Palace Lord.
“Hahaha, it seems that this old man’s guess was right. The Dark Dao Origin that the sect lost back then has indeed fallen into your hands!”
Black Water Palace Lord, who had his darkness destroyed by Cheng Xu, was not alarmed. Instead, he was delighted. He did not hesitate to attack Cheng Xu.
Seeing this, Chi Yao Zhenren quickly brought Cheng Xu back to the defense of the treasure ship.
“From now on, this Dark Dao Origin is mine!”
Black Water Palace Lord’s expression gradually sank into madness. Seeing Cheng Xu retreat back into the treasured ship, he immediately spat out a black Centipede from his mouth.
The black Centipede attached itself to the protective shield of the treasured ship. In less than a moment, it bit open a hole in the protective shield.
Perfected Dan Yang tried his best to block, but he was forced back by Black Water Palace Lord’s huge black palm print.
Then, it reached out its huge demonic claw again. At the same time as it shattered the protective shield of the treasured ship, it went straight for Cheng Xu in the crowd.
Bang!
Chi Yao Zhenren immediately took out all kinds of defensive magic weapons to help Cheng Xu block the Demon Claw’s attack.
However, the elusive black Centipede darted out from the cracks between the Demon Claw’s fingers and broke many of Chi Yao’s magic treasures in two or three moves.
“Ridiculous. You want to stop me with this scrap metal?”
Black Water Palace Lord sneered in disdain as he controlled the Demon Claw to suppress him further.
Just as the Demon Claw was about to press down, a unique mantra came out of Chi Yao Zhenren’s mouth.
“Medicine!”
A green ancient seal character ‘Medicine’ appeared above Chi Yao’s head and turned into a stream of light, branding itself on the main body of the Black Water Palace Lord.
At the same time, Perfected Chi Yao was also shaken by the Demon Claw until he spat out blood.
The Black Water Palace Master was shocked at first, but after realizing that the medicine words were ineffective, he couldn’t help but laugh wildly. “What kind of lousy move is that? It’s completely ineffective.”
Immediately after, a flying sword that was burning with the Elixir Yang True Fire tore through the air and fought with him again.
Black Water Palace Lord clearly did not take Perfected Dan Yang seriously. His attention had always been on Cheng Xu.
It wasn’t until the dark golden word ‘Poison’ appeared that Black Water Palace Master realized something was wrong.
“What?!”
Black Water Palace Lord felt the poison in his body explode and quickly invade his limbs and bones.
The poison in his body was rising steadily, forcing him to use a large amount of magic power to suppress it.
Perfected Dan Yang took the opportunity to attack fiercely, and the flying sword successfully pierced through Black Water Palace Lord’s shoulder.
Puff!
Under the influence of the poison, Black Water Palace Lord was like a deflated balloon. He grunted as he flew backward and spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood. He looked at Perfected Chi Yao as if he had seen a ghost.
Then, without thinking, he immediately turned into a ball of black fog and fled without a trace.
Perfected Dan Yang didn’t chase after him. If that demon came back to kill him, Perfected Chi Yao wouldn’t be able to stop him.
“Junior Brother, are you alright?”
After returning to the treasured ship, Perfected Dan Yang checked on Perfected Chi Yao’s condition immediately.
“It’s fine. 1 just suffered some minor injuries.” Chi Yao Zhenren said calmly..
