Chapter 833: Chapter 834 Li Tiandao Poisoned

Ye Wudao and Master Skeletal both narrowed their eyes slightly.

"Damn it, Master Skeletal, what the hell is going on here!?" Ye Wudao transmitted his Divine Sense to Master Skeletal.

"Young Master Ye, I... I didn’t expect Li Tiandao to be this cautious..."

Ye Wudao’s expression was troubled, his palms slick with cold sweat.

This cup of wine was mixed with Nine Yin Soul Devouring Water!

The poison capable of making even a True Pill realm elder writhe in agony!

Once Long Mie drinks this, his death is assured!

"What? You’re unwilling?" Li Tiandao held the cup of wine, his gaze sharp with dissatisfaction and his lips curling into a mocking sneer. "Or are you saying there’s something wrong with this cup of wine?"

"Absolutely not!" Long Mie snatched the wine cup from Li Tiandao’s hand, his fingers trembling slightly, and drank it in one gulp.

"Long Mie!" Ye Wudao’s pupils contracted sharply, his heart feeling as if it was being slashed by knives.

"Brother Long, alas!" Master Skeletal sighed inwardly. Once Long Mie drank that cup of wine, his death was inevitable!

Seeing Long Mie finish the wine right before his own eyes, Li Tiandao finally let down his guard entirely.

"Senior Li, this wine was specially brought back from my hometown for you. I drank it myself to avoid wasting it!" Long Mie said with a grin while pouring another cup for Li Tiandao.

"Haha, from now on we are allies; what’s the point of worrying about waste?" Li Tiandao laughed heartily, emptied the cup, and then showed a satisfied expression. "Not bad, it tastes excellent!"

Long Mie picked up a cup of wine and turned to the blind Sword Cultivator next to him. "Friend, care for a drink?"

"He doesn’t drink!" Li Tiandao chuckled.

"Brother Long, best not provoke him. That’s Fei Yongjian, a Sword Cultivator whose kills leave no trace. His hands are stained with countless lives, he’s proud and aloof, and normally doesn’t converse with others—he only listens to Senior Li’s commands!" Master Skeletal said hurriedly, pulling Li Tiandao closer.

"Long Mie, you truly drank that poisoned wine?" Ye Wudao transmitted his Divine Sense.

"Heh, no. Just looking at Li Tiandao’s face told me he’s impossibly cautious and trusts no one. So, the first cup wasn’t poisoned; the second cup is!" Long Mie transmitted in return.

Phew!

Ye Wudao breathed a sigh of relief!

Thank goodness!

"Who would’ve thought that Brother Long may seem like a tiger at heart, yet he appreciates the subtler nuances of a situation. Impressive!" Master Skeletal transmitted with admiration, his face showing nothing but reverence.

Li Tiandao, seated at the head, spoke up: "From this day forward, Long Mie and Ye Wuming shall become my sixth and seventh trusted aides. Everyone, raise a toast to them!"

Just as Li Tiandao raised his cup, he suddenly felt a dizzy spell, his head spinning as if the world had turned upside down, causing his wine cup to fall to the ground!

"Senior Li, what’s happening to you?"

"I... I have no idea!"

"My head aches terribly!" Li Tiandao shook his head violently, then suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his organs, as if countless arrows were piercing through his heart, leaving his face deathly pale as he collapsed onto the ground.

"Brother!" The blind Sword Cultivator Fei Yongjian rushed forward, his face full of worry, to support him.

"T-the wine... the wine is poisoned!" Li Tiandao stammered, black poisonous blood leaking from the corners of his mouth.

Everyone was horrified!

"What! Poisoned?"

"Did Long Mie offer Senior Li fake wine?"

"This is an outright scheme to assassinate a True Pill realm elder! That’s madness!" The dozen or so True Pill cultivators present were visibly stunned.

Li Tiandao, enduring the agony, pointed at Long Mie with trembling fingers. "You... you dare poison me with wine?"

"Hmph, that’s exactly what I’m doing!" Long Mie sneered coldly.

"Master Skeletal, you’re clearly involved in all this, aren’t you?" Li Tiandao glared at Master Skeletal, his eyes seething with rage.

Master Skeletal no longer bothered with pretense, speaking calmly: "Senior Li, at this point, there’s nothing more to explain. If blame is due, blame yourself!"

"I despise traitors more than anything!" Li Tiandao roared furiously.

Fei Yongjian shouted furiously: "What are you all waiting for? Kill those three who dared conspire against my elder brother!"

"Kill!" Led by Fat Bear and Hou Fei, several dozen True Pill cultivators surrounded Ye Wudao and the other two.

Ye Wudao, Long Mie, and Master Skeletal exchanged glances!

The three simultaneously unleashed their auras, waves of powerful energy sweeping across the room!

"All three are True Pill late-stage cultivators!"

"This won’t be easy!"

The faces of some mid-stage True Pill cultivators turned pale, a hint of retreat showing in their expressions.

Li Tiandao had only five True Pill late-stage confidants. Naturally, Fei Yongjian ranked first, followed by Jin Hai, third Master Skeletal, fourth Fat Bear, and fifth Hou Fei!

But among the five, Jin Hai had mysteriously disappeared, and Master Skeletal had betrayed them!

Leaving only three!

And the opposition was also three!

"Anyone who dares retreat shall be executed without mercy!" Fei Yongjian roared, unleashing an aura at the True Pill pinnacle stage.

Sensing Fei Yongjian’s terrifying presence, those who hesitated suddenly said: "Although it’s three-on-three in the True Pill late-stage match-up, Fei Yongjian is at the True Pill pinnacle stage!"

"In terms of strength, we have the upper hand!"

Dozens of True Pill cultivators simultaneously attacked Ye Wudao and his companions.

"Heavenly Dragon Claw!"

"Skeletal Fist!"

"Dragon Slaying Palm!"

The three joined forces, perfectly parrying all their opponents’ attacks!

"Old Ye, Master Skeletal, leave Fat Bear to me!" Long Mie volunteered.

"Hou Fei is mine!" Ye Wudao’s eyes fixed on Hou Fei.

"Very well, I’ll handle the rest of these mid-stage True Pill cultivators!" Master Skeletal declared.

The trio divided their targets, and the battles began!

"You brat! I held back earlier, but this time I’ll show you my true strength!" Fat Bear snarled, harboring a deep grudge against Long Mie.

"Haha, is that all you’ve got?" Long Mie scoffed.

"Bear’s Might Palm!" Fat Bear roared, his massive palm surging forth like a golden bear’s strike, immense strength accompanied by a deafening sonic boom.

If this palm hit a late-stage True Pill cultivator, it would mean certain death or crippling injuries!

Long Mie’s eyes turned cold, his claw slashing outward as dragon energy surged, resembling the slash of a true dragon. A black draconic claw tore through everything.

"Black Dragon Claw!"

Boom!

Palm and claw clashed—gold and black energies collided violently, unleashing a deafening explosion!

"Impossible! His... his strength can’t be this overwhelming!" Fat Bear’s pupils shrank, his face still etched with shock.

"Die!" Long Mie unleashed his full might, his claw carrying lethal force, instantly shattering Fat Bear’s attack and striking his body mercilessly.

Pfft!

Fat Bear suffered devastating injuries, five fatal claw marks etched into his chest, bones exposed as he collapsed heavily to the ground, blood pooling at his lips, barely breathing!

Everyone was stunned!

"Holy hell, Fat Bear was defeated!"

"Fat Bear ranks late-stage True Pill and is famed for unrivaled strength!" The mid-stage True Pill cultivators stared wide-eyed, unable to believe their eyes.

Opposite Hou Fei, tension equally soared!

Ye Wudao appeared unassuming, but his uncanny composure combined with the veiled killing intent in his black eyes marked him as a war-hardened veteran who had clawed his way through seas of corpses.

Hou Fei didn’t dare underestimate him, shouting coldly, "Ten Monkey Body Technique!"

Hou Fei’s figure blurred suddenly into dozens of identical clones, indistinguishable from the original.

"Kill!"

Dozens of Hou Fei clones shouted in unison, charging Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao’s eyes were icy as he gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist. In a seamless motion, the blade flashed, cutting downward!

Shing!

A terrifying black blade arc surged forth, imbued with staggering killing intent, capable of annihilating everything!

Bang!

Bang bang!

Hou Fei’s clones shattered instantly upon contact with the black blade arc, scattering into nothing, leaving only his original form!

Pfft!

Hou Fei collapsed to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth as his body struck the ground heavily, utterly defeated.

Ye Wudao needed only one strike—overwhelming and fatal—to crush Hou Fei!

The crowd stood in awe!

"Another one-shot victory!"

"First was Long Mie, and now Ye Wuming. These two are terrifyingly strong!" Six or seven mid-stage True Pill cultivators couldn’t conceal their shock.

"Hey! Showing divided attention during combat—do you look down on me, Master Skeletal?" Master Skeletal exclaimed angrily, his hands emanating a dense, sinister cadaverous aura!

"Skeletal Ghost Palm!"

Pfft!

Pfft pfft!

Several mid-stage True Pill cultivators were struck by Master Skeletal’s attacks, their bodies branded with gray ghostly palm prints before collapsing in cries of agony.

"Haha! Another one-hit victory!" Master Skeletal boasted, though eyeing the triumphs of Long Mie and Ye Wudao, he quietly recognized the difference in merit—they defeated late-stage True Pill opponents, whereas his were mid-stage—a clear gap in prestige.

"Ah..." Li Tiandao continued focusing on healing, trembling as torrents of blood dripped from his body. His eyes squeezed shut as he asked, "Yongjian, how’s the situation?"

"Everyone’s been one-shot killed," Fei Yongjian responded curtly.

What!? Li Tiandao’s heart sank, and another mouthful of black blood sprayed from his lips.

"Brother, focus on recovery—don’t fret! Three mere late-stage True Pill cultivators amount to nothing against me!" Fei Yongjian declared, his aura erupting at pinnacle True Pill level, like a roaring tiger dominating the battlefield!
