Chapter 697: Chapter 698: Ten Thousand Poison Cauldron

In this deep void, a place hidden to the extreme.

A cluster of poisonous fog suddenly appeared, enveloping both Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli within it.

"Who?"

Chu Fengmian asked coldly.

The figure of the Poisons Hand Demon Lord slowly materialized within the fog.

One could see his face was full of sinister cruelty, his eyes greedily sweeping over Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli as if he were eyeing two vast treasures.

The Poisons Hand Demon Lord looked at Chu Fengmian and laughed.

"Injured, and yet you dare leave Martial King City to venture into this deep void, you’re truly seeking your own death!"

"Is it you?"

Chu Fengmian gazed at the Poisons Hand Demon Lord with a serenity that reached the extreme.

However, beneath that calm, the fluctuations of Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power were incredibly chaotic. Despite his best efforts to hide it, they could not escape the eyes of the Poisons Hand Demon Lord.

Chu Fengmian had withstood the bombardment from Ancestor Ye Mu, a figure of the Longevity Realm, and even if Chu Fengmian had come out unscathed, it wasn’t possible for him to have recovered so quickly.

The chaotic Spiritual Power within Chu Fengmian was the best proof of this.

The calm on Chu Fengmian’s face now seemed to the Poisons Hand Demon Lord nothing more than a façade, a testament to his external strength yet internal frailty.

"Kid, you’ve offended our Earth Fiend Sect, injured the Cold-faced Demon Lord, and even killed Zang Tian. Did you think you could truly escape from my hands?"

The Poisons Hand Demon Lord’s face was filled with a cold smirk as he spoke.

"You could have stayed hidden inside Martial King City, and perhaps I wouldn’t have been able to do anything to you, but since you dared to run out here, today I will cut you down completely in this deep void."

"You dare kill me? Behind me stands Beimang Academy, and with my current status, if you kill me, Beimang Academy won’t let this go."

Chu Fengmian spoke calmly, appearing utterly unruffled.

"Beimang Academy won’t let it go? Kid, it seems you don’t understand the standing of Lord Ye Tian within Beimang Academy."

The Poisons Hand Demon Lord suddenly burst into laughter, a mocking sneer spreading across his lips.

"Seeing that you’re as good as dead now, I might as well let you die enlightened."

"Behind Lord Ye Tian is the Ye family, the most formidable power in Beimang Academy, and Lord Ye Tian himself is an unparalleled genius cultivated by the Ye family. You dared to kill him, so upon your return to Beimang Academy, you’re on a path to death. Even if I kill you, do you think Beimang Academy would bother seeking trouble with me over a dead man?"

A ferocity emerged on the Poisons Hand Demon Lord’s face as his eyes kept sweeping over Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli.

"Besides, in this deep void, if I kill you, no one will know, and no one will find out that it was me who killed you."

"Today, if you die, blame your own overweening arrogance. Those who are too arrogant, in the end, only have a path to death."

The moment the Poisons Hand Demon Lord spoke, his Spiritual Power surged, and a miasma swept in. Within the miasma, two massive poison hands suddenly shot forth, grabbing straight towards Chu Fengmian.

Each of these poison hands was a shade of dark green, imbued with a hundred types of deadly poison; a mere touch was dangerous even for the terrifying beings who transcended life and death.

"No one will know, huh? Well then, if I kill you, no one from your Earth Fiend Sect will have any trouble!"

Chu Fengmian suddenly revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

Just as the Poison Hand Demon Lord made his move, Chu Fengmian also suddenly stepped forward, with the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword appearing in the palm of his hand, its Sword Edge gleaming.

With a swing, Chu Fengmian’s sword chopped directly towards those two poisonous hands.

"Poison Hand Demon Lord, did you really think you had me cornered today? That because I was seriously injured, I had no way to fight back? I was merely drawing the snake out of its hole, and though it’s a pity I didn’t lure the Cold-faced Demon Lord, since you came to my doorstep, then I’ll kill you first!"

Chu Fengmian coldly chuckled again and again.

His aura climbed steadily. In the eyes of the Poison Hand Demon Lord, the Spiritual Power that seemed to be depleted in Chu Fengmian’s body was replenished completely in an instant.

The wounds on Chu Fengmian’s body also healed in the blink of an eye, almost instantaneously, returning to full recovery.

Chu Fengmian now appeared to be in an absolutely perfect condition.

His intention in luring them out was to deal with the Cold-faced Demon Lord, who had escaped from the arena and had also secured a spot in the top ten.

Nonetheless, if he didn’t kill him, he would still be able to enter the Ruins of Return, and Chu Fengmian had intended to take this opportunity to kill him first. However, to his surprise, only the Poison Hand Demon Lord from the Earth Devil Sect had shown up.

But no matter, with the Poison Hand Demon Lord’s arrival, Chu Fengmian still intended to kill him.

The Poison Hand Demon Lord was also one of the Earth Devil Sect’s cultivated unparalleled geniuses, having already visited the Ruins of Return and surely reaped countless benefits. Killing him would be of great advantage to Chu Fengmian.

"Break!"

Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge cut through, and the Sword Light flashed. The two poisonous hands were directly severed, and even the poisonous miasma was completely cleared away.

The sharpness of the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword was enough to suppress countless poisons and disperse the poisonous miasma.

"You, you, you!"

Watching Chu Fengmian’s sudden move, the Poison Hand Demon Lord’s face turned pale with shock.

He had been chasing Chu Fengmian all along, intending to kill Chu Fengmian while he was seriously injured, taking advantage when Chu Fengmian was at his most vulnerable.

But unexpectedly, Chu Fengmian’s injuries turned out to be feigned, and he appeared untouched by any harm.

"Impossible, how could your injuries heal so fast? Do you think like this you can scare me off? No matter if your power is still at its peak, or if you still have full strength, today I will still kill you!" the Poison Hand Demon Lord snorted coldly, not retreating an inch.

The Poison Hand Demon Lord was also a famous genius from the last Martial Arts Tournament, and now was only a step away from surpassing life and death to step into the Realm of Shattered Life.

Even if Chu Fengmian’s strength had caught him by surprise, he was not the least bit afraid.

"Ten Thousand Poison Cauldron! Appear!"

The Poison Hand Demon Lord let out a long howl, and a dark green cauldron suddenly appeared from his hands.

This cauldron emitted a myriad of poisonous miasma, having been infused with who knows how many types of poison to reach such a state.

This cauldron, while not yet reaching the heavenly rank, was infinitely close to that of a Spiritual Artifact, with ancient power on it, even a tens of thousands of years old artifact that was beginning to evolve towards a heavenly Spiritual Artifact.

Especially the power on the Ten Thousand Poison Cauldron was the most suitable for the Poison Hand Demon Lord.

In the hands of the Poison Hand Demon Lord, the might of this Ten Thousand Poison Cauldron was even more terrifying than that of a heavenly Spiritual Artifact.
