The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy
Chapter 310. Black Toad Poison Fire

Chapter 310: 310. Black Toad Poison Fire

Qiao Sen spoke sincerely, his tone firm.

However, Du Ruxue ignored Qiao Sen’s words, grabbing her hand and trying to pull her away.

Qiao Sen, having no other choice, quickly used the Ripple Divine Skill, causing his feet to shatter the floor with a snap, anchoring him to the ground like two nails.

Du Ruxue pulled, but couldn’t move him.

"Hmm?"

Du Ruxue was somewhat surprised. Although she wasn’t a cultivator known for her strength, she had brushed the threshold of the Innate Realm.

Qiao Sen was just a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, the difference between them was like a child, yet she couldn’t move him?

Of course, this was also because Du Ruxue didn’t use her full strength, fearing she might accidentally hurt Qiao Sen.

"Aunt Du, if I leave now, the Imperial Palace won’t hold."

Qiao Sen hurriedly said, "Others might think I’m fleeing from battle."

Du Ruxue replied expressionlessly, "What can’t be defended can be retaken; if you stay, you’ll die. Come with me."

Xuan Ling felt displeased all of a sudden. With their three senior and junior disciples present, Du Ruxue actually said staying meant death for Qiao Sen, as if looking down on them.

She mocked, "Does Senior Du believe herself more capable than the three of us to ensure Qiao Sen’s safety?"

If a fight were to break out, Du Ruxue might not actually win against these three fierce juniors—after all, their realms weren’t that different.

Du Ruxue frowned, about to speak, but Yu Qing suddenly asked, "Senior Du, is it true that the Nightshade General from the True Mother God Sect is coming?"

Du Ruxue was a bit surprised, not expecting these three juniors to already know of the Nightshade General’s existence.

She nodded, "She’s definitely coming; one of her targets is Qiao Sen."

"Then let’s all leave together!"

Yu Qing decided promptly. If the enemy was the Nightshade General, then it wasn’t necessary to take the risk.

Du Ruxue was right; the Imperial Palace and the Capital could be retaken. But if Qiao Sen died, it would all be over.

Seeing Yu Qing’s decisive nature, Du Ruxue admired her greatly, knowing this disciple from the Heavenly Sword Sect was destined for greatness.

With Yu Qing’s decision made, Xuan Ling and Gou Cheng could only comply.

Only Qiao Sen protested, but unfortunately, it wasn’t her turn to decide, and she had to be dragged away by two hands and run out.

Before they even left Chaotian Hall, a loud boom came from above.

The roof of Chaotian Hall was shattered open, and a large mass of black flames fell like a meteor, nearly covering the entire hall.

Du Ruxue reacted the fastest, waving her hand, the golden ring on her wrist flew out, instantly enlarging to shield everyone overhead.

Though the center of the golden ring was empty, the black flames were inexplicably blocked.

Rollicking heat waves mixed with flames spread out to the sides, igniting several pillars directly.

Using the time Du Ruxue had bought, Yu Qing and the others dragged Qiao Sen and dashed out from Chaotian Hall.

Du Ruxue followed closely, retrieving the golden ring and leapt out.

The flames finally struck the ground, instantly setting the interior of the hall ablaze, creating a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

The five escaped to the plaza outside Chaotian Hall, only to look back and see the entire hall engulfed in flames.

A figure draped in a black robe hovered above Chaotian Hall, looking down at the five below.

The five naturally noticed this person, and upon seeing the half-fairy, half-ghoul face, the four of them, except Du Ruxue, were startled.

Cultivators are usually more perfect as their realm advances, especially in appearance.

If there is a flaw in appearance, it either means their cultivation went awry, or they’re practicing a deviant Evil Technique.

No doubt, this person must be the Nightshade General from the True Mother God Sect, fitting perfectly with both the Evil Technique and the Cult identity.

Only those in the Innate Realm can hover and fly briefly without relying on magic treasures.

The Nightshade General’s gaze swept past Yu Qing and the others, finally landing on Qiao Sen and Du Ruxue.

Qiao Sen was one of her targets, and if Du Ruxue wasn’t tactful, she’d cause considerable trouble.

As for Yu Qing and the others, in the eyes of the Nightshade General, they were nothing but trivial small fry.

She said to Du Ruxue, "I warned you before, didn’t expect you’d still court death."

The Nightshade General, when she initially sought the Blood God Mask, had warned Du Ruxue once.

Du Ruxue certainly wasn’t her match, but killing her would take some effort and time, hence the warning.

After being warned, Du Ruxue was very compliant, only taking action once to hide Li Shuxian, staying quietly in the Imperial Palace the rest of the time without interfering.

The Nightshade General thought Du Ruxue was sensible, not expecting her to stir up trouble at the final moment, angering her greatly.

The Nightshade General’s words made Du Ruxue sneer, "I also warned you not to extend your hand into the Imperial Palace."

"What right do you have to warn me?"

Nightshade General slightly raised her thin brows, striking directly.

She sent a palm strike through the air towards the five below, her entire arm transforming into black flames, surging down towards them.

Du Ruxue waved her hand; the golden ring flew out again, blocking the black flames, all the while warning the four.

"This is the Black Toad Poison Fire; it’s poisonous. Don’t let it touch you."

Yu Qing loved reading, had a wide knowledge base, and immediately recalled records she’d read about the Black Toad Poison Fire.

The Black Toad Poison Fire isn’t an Exotic Species True Fire but a cultivated flame, requiring a rare demon beast in the Cultivation World known as the black toad.

The cultivated flame is deep black, containing poison, hence also called the Black Toad Poison Fire.

Nightshade General’s half ghoul-like face was a side effect of cultivating the Black Toad Poison Fire; the deeper the cultivation, the greater the side effects.

When she completely turns into a ghoul, the Black Toad Poison Fire will be fully mastered.

Yu Qing knew well the dangers of the Black Toad Poison Fire, immediately calling forth a jade hairpin, transforming into a green sword light, enveloping the five.

Du Ruxue blocked a portion of the black flames; the remaining poison fire changed direction, surging from all sides, crashing into the green sword circle created by Yu Qing.

The poison fire was blocked, but the rolling heat waves penetrated the green glow, distorting the air with the heat.

The threat wasn’t just the temperature; the air even started to fill with poison, inhaling too much could lead to poisoning.

Du Ruxue suddenly grabbed one of Qiao Sen’s arms, leaping outward.

The golden ring blocking the poison fire was retracted by her, landing under her feet, carrying her and Qiao Sen to fly out, slipping through a gap in the poison fire.

Yu Qing and the others didn’t expect Du Ruxue to flee silently with Qiao Sen, leaving them behind.

With the golden ring no longer blocking, the poison fire immediately struck Yu Qing’s green sword light, enclosing the three entirely, leaving no gaps.

Xuan Ling and Gou Cheng had already summoned their Spirit Swords, helping Yu Qing resist the Black Toad Poison Fire, but they were trapped, unable to escape.
