The Poison King’s Body activates!
The poisonous gas around Lu Yu was eerily akin to some sort of aura, making the old serpent man feel deeply unsettled.
Lu Yu has already decided to take action and has no intention of negotiating with the old serpent man at all.
The old snake man moved.
He was also a highly skilled practitioner who had survived countless battles, and he could already sense the killing intent emanating from Lu Yu.
Since the intent to kill has already arisen, there’s no choice but to carry it out.
Both sides were decisive enough.
As Lu Yu made his move, the old snake man had already struck with a palm.
Boom.
The old snake man slapped his palm outward. The broken stones on the ground were lifted up, forming layers upon layers of stone waves that surged toward Lu Yu.
Boom!
Poisonous flames surged from Lu Yu’s body. Waves of stone, layer upon layer, instantly turned into black vapor and vanished into nothingness upon contact with the toxic flames.
The palm wind of the old serpent man was completely shattered by the toxic flames.
“This is poison!” the old serpent man hissed in a breath, his eyes widening to their fullest as he said in a deep voice, “It can even corrode power. You have completed the Poison Dragon Body!”
The old snake man’s words immediately caused an uproar from all directions.
Humans still have a long way to go.
After all, people of this era cannot comprehend the full horror of the Venomous Dragon Body.
However, for the Demon Race and the humanoid races, in any of their legends, or even in any era, a fully developed Poison Dragon Body would almost have the power to rival a King Zun.
If the owner of the Dragon Poison Body completely attains the power of ten thousand zuns, they can become a terrifying warrior capable of rivaling a King Zun in strength.
Someone said, “This, this is the Complete Poison Dragon Body.”
More people screamed in alarm.
“Oh my god, Lu Yu is even stronger than he was in the recent Ruins Arena battle. Back then, his Poison Dragon Body wasn’t fully developed, but now it’s complete. Does that mean no one can suppress him anymore?”
When the others saw the tattoo on Lu Yu’s body, they felt that it looked like a demon’s fangs, fierce and terrifying.
Lu Yu sneered coldly, rushed through the wave of stones launched by the old serpent man, and suddenly raised his hand to strike back fiercely.
Boom!
With a single palm strike, he first sent forth a venomous snake not even half a zhang in length. However, in an instant, that snake transformed into a venomous wave over a thousand zhang wide and hundreds of zhang high, surging forward like a mountain collapsing and the sea roaring, crashing down upon the old snake-man.
It is unrestricted here, just like in the Domain of Unified Demons and the Starry Battlefield. The poisonous waves, thousands of feet wide, surge up almost as high as the sky.
The towering black waves surged up, sending a chill through everyone’s body.
The sea of poison gas surged forward with a tangible impact, shaking the ruins ceaselessly as it advanced across the land.
“It’s indeed the perfect form,” the elder serpentman exclaimed in astonishment. At this moment, even he dared not come into contact with the poisonous gas.
If such a tall and massive poisonous wolf were to sweep its attack across his body, even he himself wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Moreover, only a completely developed Poison Dragon Body could generate such a terrifying impact with its poison gas.
Lu Yu’s strength reached four thousand zuns, and once the toxic wave was unleashed, its impact approached seven thousand zuns.
The old serpent man directly took out a snake’s skull and forcefully injected energy into it, then swept it towards the toxic wave.
A blue light surged from the snake’s head toward the toxic wave. The blue light, like a tsunami or a flood, rose up in an endless, dazzling expanse of blue, rushing forward to meet the toxic wave head-on.
Boom.
Two forces collided; the blue light obliterated the tsunami-like toxic gas, while the toxic gas nearly eroded the blue light away.
The land where the two forces collided was instantly shattered into a deep valley, nearly a thousand zhang wide and with a diameter also reaching almost a thousand zhang.
Gravel was swept outward by the shockwave, pelting into the distant crowd like cannonballs.
The crowd was still retreating at this moment.
Many people were hit by the debris and were already spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, and some were even pierced directly by the rocks.
“Help me.” Large chunks of rubble were smeared with tendrils of toxic gas. Upon contact with a person’s body, this poisonous vapor instantly penetrated the flesh and entered the bloodstream.
In an instant, one Supreme after another turned into black water.
“Scatter, quickly scatter! Watch out for the poison gas!”
In an instant, over a hundred people had already been killed by the poison, while many more barely escaped death by having their arms severed or flesh cut away.
However, everyone was now trembling all over and retreating even more urgently.
It’s just an aftershock.
The aftermath of the poison gas was already this terrifying; if someone were directly hit by the toxic wave, how many people would die?
However—
The blue light was more domineering. After it obliterated the toxic waves, a blade of light still swept over Lu Yu’s body, leaving a slash mark dozens of zhang long.
Bang.
The toxic flames surrounding Lu Yu were severed, and the blue light swept directly over his body, shattering his flesh and cutting through his torso.
The power of the Star Artifact is indeed unmatched.
Half of Lu Yu’s body was shattered, almost turning all his blood and flesh into pulp.
“Your body has become even stronger!” the old serpent man exclaimed, even more astonished and now even more serious.
The old serpent’s strike didn’t even utilize the full power of the star artifact. However, a force like this is still unmatched by humans.
If it were not long ago, even a single ray of light would have been enough to tear Lu Yu’s body apart.
But now it can only shatter half of Lu Yu’s body, which indicates that Lu Yu has become much stronger since their last encounter.
Half of Lu Yu’s body burst into flames, quickly repairing his injured form.
Lu Yu’s body recovered, and as soon as he raised his hand, a voice from above in the sky said, “Stop. It’s not time to fight yet.”
Everyone looks up.
As soon as they looked, they saw Qin Hai’s pair of demonic wings flapping as he grabbed a person and fell from the sky, intentionally or unintentionally standing together with the old serpent man.
The old serpent man looked at Qin Hai coldly and said, “Why are you stopping me? The no-kill agreement between us two—if someone dares to break it, are you really going to side with Lu Yu?”
“Rules are rules, but before that, there are some matters that need to be settled first,” said Qin Hai, pushing forward the person he had brought along. “My friend here has something to discuss with the person on the other side who holds the recipe. I suppose none of you would object, would you?”
The man, who had been pushed slightly by Qin Hai, appeared to be in his thirties. He smiled broadly, clasped his fists in a salute toward Qin Hai and the old snake-man, and then bowed respectfully to Lu Yu, saying politely, “Mr. Lu, I’ve long heard of your great reputation. Seeing you fight against an eighth-stage humanoid race during our first meeting truly fills me with deep admiration.”
This man was very polite, but the smile he wore always seemed strange to Lu Yu.
Now that Qin Hai has brought this person along, I’m afraid nothing good will come of it!
The middle-aged man beside Lu Yu, upon seeing the people brought by Qin Hai, couldn’t help but slightly frown and said, “Zhang Yong, why have you come too?”
The man called Zhang Yong, upon hearing someone call his name, looked toward the middle-aged man, his expression suddenly darkening. “Wang Ling, you still have the nerve to say that? You monopolized the recipe and now sold it for an astronomical price. Are you planning to keep all the profits to yourself?”
The middle-aged man was taken aback and shouted loudly, “Zhang Yong, what are you talking about? Back then, everything was distributed fairly among everyone. How can you say I took it all for myself?”
In an instant, Wang Ling understood.
Lu Yu also understood. He looked at Wang Ling and asked, “What’s going on here?”
Many people around wore expressions of joy on their faces.
Lu Yu, isn’t that the one who likes to talk about principles? “If others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke others!”
If what you bought yourself turns out to be stolen goods, that’s a completely different matter.
Wang Ling looked at Lu Yu solemnly and said, “Mr. Lu, you can rest assured about the item. It is rightfully mine and has nothing to do with others.”
“I see now,” Lu Yu said, nodding his head.
Qin Hai brought people here, probably just wanting to stir things up and then get a share of the benefits.
As for this Zhang Yong, he might really know Wang Ling, but he’s definitely no good guy either.
At this moment, Zhang Yong was filled with astonishment and said, “Brother Wang, you dare call me a liar? You actually have the nerve to say that!”
With that, Zhang Yong’s expression turned sorrowful and indignant as he pointed toward Wang Ling and said, “That day, several of us entered there, yet only three of us made it out alive. You admit that, don’t you?”
Wang Ling said coldly, “I understand what you’re trying to say! Zhang Yong, that day, over a hundred of us went in, yet only three survived and came out—excluding you and me, there’s still one person unaccounted for. However, that day we brought out a total of five items; do you acknowledge this?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Zhang Yong scoffed. “We agreed back then to draw lots and split the four items evenly, right? I drew one item, that person drew another, and you also drew one. The remaining item was the formula, which is precisely what you’re selling now, correct?”
Wang Ling nodded and said, “That’s right.”
Zhang Yong continued, “However, at that time, both of us were occupied with our own matters and couldn’t spare the time. That’s why we trusted your integrity and let you handle the sale of the formula. The proceeds were then divided equally among everyone, right?”
Wang Ling frowned and said, “What you said is all correct. However—”
“But what?” Zhang Yong suddenly interrupted Wang Ling’s speech loudly. “But how come I heard from Elder Qin that you alone took possession of the formula, and even sold your own life to Mr. Lu? The formula belongs to the three of us jointly, and the money from its sale should be equally divided among the three of us. Even if it is sold to someone, shouldn’t the decision be made by all three of us together? By what right did you alone decide who gets the formula?”
Wang Ling heard this and became furious, saying, “Zhang Yong, you’re talking nonsense! Back then, you all simply realized this was a formula for refining the evolution liquid—one that could be sold for a huge sum of money. That’s why you said I should be the one to take charge, promising that I would get 40% after selling it, while the remaining 30% would go to you two. You never mentioned anything about needing all three of us to decide who could buy it. Now I finally understand why both of you took one look at the formula back then and immediately tossed it to me. It turns out you already knew that holding onto this formula would be like holding a death sentence. As long as someone has this formula in their mind, others will stop at nothing to extract it. That’s why you two merely glanced at the formula’s name before throwing it to me.”
Wang Ling pointed at Zhang Yong and said coldly, “Very good, very good indeed. Do you know that because of this formula, I’ve been stuck in Fanggang my entire life, never able to leave? Now the formula has been sold, and you actually have the nerve to come out and say these words.”
Zhang Yong sneered, “Brother Wang, you’re making this sound meaningless. Back then, it was clearly you who proactively asked for the formula and insisted on representing us in the sale. The buyer was also ultimately decided by the three of us. Now you’re shamelessly trying to wash your hands off everything—do you intend to keep everything for yourself? The formula belongs to the three of us, so who we sell it to and how many people we sell it to should be decided by the three of us together. You went ahead and sold it to just one person; don’t you feel it’s a loss? I certainly do.”
As he spoke, Zhang Yong suddenly changed to a smiling face, clasped his hands toward Lu Yu in a respectful gesture, and said, “Mr. Lu, you’re a reasonable person. Surely you don’t really think that we would simply hand over something so important to just one person without asking any questions, right?”
Lu Yu nodded with a very approving laugh and said, “Now the formula is in my hands, and Wang Ling is also under my control. Let me just say this—right now, I’m not here to reason with you anymore! I just want to seize it, I want to take the formula all for myself. What are you going to do about it?”
Zhang Yong was stunned.
Qin Hai was stunned!
The old snake man was even more confused!
In that split second, the surroundings fell into complete silence, and many people even fainted!
