Chapter 536: Chapter 32 Lin Qiuxuan of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect

Moonlight, bright moonlight that pierced through the night, brought forth a scene of exquisite beauty.

However, for the hook-clawed Black-clothed Man who was the recipient of this moonlight’s cascade, there wasn’t a shred of leisure in his heart to admire the beauty of this moonlight.

Because he knew that behind this moonlight lay endless murderous intent.

"Red Poison Heart Search."

There was no way to avoid it, the Black-clothed Man knew he couldn’t dodge this Sword Light, so he could only retaliate.

With attack against attack, he sought to break through this beautiful yet dangerous sword strike.

The phantom of the Six Clawed Beast manifested, merging with the Black-clothed Man, six savage red claws tore through the air, shooting out from six different angles, all aiming for Qing Yu’s heart.

But, it was to no avail.

The figure that fell through the air was like the actual moonlight, the scarlet claw marks swept over him, as if gliding through moonlight, touching not the slightest bit of his substance.

The Qiuli Sword, with its silvery luminescence, quietly penetrated the Black-clothed Man’s chest, as if the gentle moonlight was shining upon him, not making a single sound.

His chest pierced through, the mouth under the Black-clothed Man’s mask revealed a smile of triumph, "Got you."

He clasped the blade that was embedded in his chest, and within his chest cavity, there surged a powerful Fire Poison, corroding the Sword Qi.

The Black-clothed Man, looking into Qing Yu’s eyes, was full of smugness and mockery, "White-haired Taoist, do you not know of our Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s Absolute Skill?"

Now that the Poison Skill was revealed, the Black-clothed Man no longer cared about hiding his identity, and directly mentioned the name "Ten Thousand Poison Sect."

"How could I not know of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s ’Poison Immortal Body’?"

The smiling gaze made the Black-clothed Man feel a foreboding sense of doom.

To refine the body with poison, to forge an Undying Body – the "Poison Immortal Body" of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect transforms deadly toxins into substances that enhance one’s own body, using poison as medicine to temper the flesh and awaken potential.

This technique, along with the Hundred Herbs Endless Body of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, are both known as two incredible marvels of the Body Refining Martial Arts. How could Qing Yu be unaware of it?

"Since you are aware, then you, old Taoist, should die without regrets," his sense of doom growing deeper, the Black-clothed Man did not wish to speak more, his claws, now bearing a strong bloody stench, flickered in dark crimson light, his Six Claw striking again, enveloping Qing Yu’s figure.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah——"

The agonizing screams made the hearts of the other three who were embroiled in a chaotic battle tighten as they looked towards the scene here.

One could see Qing Yu, still held afloat half a meter off the ground by white hair, while that Black-clothed Man had already disengaged from the sword blade and was rolling on the ground in agony.

That piercing scream did not seem like one that would be emitted by a True Pill Realm warrior; it actually resembled that of a young man who had never experienced the trials and tribulations of worldly society.

"Lin Feng." In his urgency, another Black-clothed Man called out the true name of the man writhing on the ground.

"Heh, so it turns out to be a member of the Lin Family. I am indeed curious, since when does the Lin Family have a grievance with me?"

Xuan Shang said this as he manoeuvred his sword to draw circles, condensing the Four Symbols, and a black and white, vast and overwhelming Qi Mechanism burst forth, distracting the two Black-clothed Men from coming to the aid of the one called "Lin Feng."

’The Lin Family of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, how did Xuan Shang come to have a conflict with them?’ A gleam flashed in Qing Yu’s eyes.

In fact, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is a combination of a family and Jianghu forces, and its Sect Leader’s lineage, the Lin Family, was once one of the Eight Great Families, the head family of Shu Province. It was because of this combination that the Ten Thousand Poison Sect came to dominate Shu Province, becoming its uncrowned king.

Their strength and influence were far greater than the now declining Northern Zhou Si Family.

At this moment, Lin Feng’s howl became increasingly wretched, his body covered in dark red spots, with visibly crimson burns on his skin.

"Not good, Lin Feng’s Poison Skill is backlashing."

Given such an obvious condition, if those two people over there couldn’t see Lin Feng’s situation, it would be in vain that they were from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

"You go and assist." One of the tall black-clothed men suddenly burst out with an even more intense aura than before and ordered the other.

"Thinking of assisting? Impossible."

A black and white mysterious light shot out from the halo, enveloping the two with an awe-inspiring divine might.

"Poison Soul Blood Sand."

From the tall black-clothed man’s body, countless grains of Blood Sand flew out, forming a huge wave of sand that crashed towards the black and white mysterious light.

"Blood Soul Sand, you are the Lin Family’s Lin Qiuxuan!" Xuan Shang recognized the identity of the tall black-clothed man as soon as he saw this signature Martial Art.

Lin Qiuxuan of the Lin Family was the most powerful contender for the next Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. If he took action, then it was possible that the shadow of the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect might be behind him.

However... Why the Ten Thousand Poison Sect suddenly attacked the Tianzhen Temple was a puzzle that Xuan Shang had not yet figured out.

"I did not want to reveal my identity, but Daoist Xuan Shang is so troublesome that he has made it difficult for me." Lin Qiuxuan removed his face mask, revealing a square face.

Just by looking at his face, it was hard to imagine this to be a man who practiced Poison Skill. However, the waves of Blood Soul Sand crashing against the black and white mysterious light proved the adage that one should not judge a book by its cover.

Blood Soul Sand was the product of Lin Qiuxuan combining the "Thousand Sand Poison Soul Technique" of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect with the accidentally acquired Martial Art "Blood Soul True Understanding" from the Blood Demon Sect, using human essence blood to refine the Poison Sand, creating a vast desert of sand with Blood Poison.

The magnitude of this Blood Soul Sand wave suggested that Lin Qiuxuan had sacrificed many lives to refine it.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Xuan Shang drew the Sword Light with his sword, battling the wave of Blood Soul Sand while asking.

"To take a person’s money and dispel disaster for them. Haven’t you guessed, Daoist Xuan Shang?"

Lin Qiuxuan’s True Qi merged into the Blood Soul Sand, forming it into a huge Blood Killing face with three empty holes in the eyes and mouth howling with gales tinged with a hint of blood.

"Daoist Xuan Shang has been living in Shu Province for ten years, and our sect failed to realize that your strength had reached such heights—it’s indeed an oversight. Initially, I thought that with Lin here bringing two individuals in the True Pill Realm, I could inflict a near-fatal injury on you. But unexpectedly, my opponent is not Taoist Xuanzhen, it is you, Daoist Xuan Shang..."

The meaningful words made Xuan Shang even more certain of his own conjectures, and they also firmed his resolve to follow the path he had chosen.

"Just make sure you don’t die, Daoist. Sand Soul Blood Shout."

From within the giant face of Blood Sand, a blood-colored fierce wind swept out, mingling with the wailing blood-colored ghosts and rushing forward.

"Four Symbols Forming Heavenly Calculation."

Xuan Shang swiftly tapped his Treasure Sword, and four differently colored sword lights flew out, merging into one, forming a giant sword light mixed with both black and white, and it tore through the bloody storm with a thunderous roar.

"Boom—"

The powerful gales caused countless trees in the forest to topple, the bloody winds leaving behind corroded traces on the ground; Blood Sand spread out, unceasingly strangling the Heavenly Yan Four Symbols Sword Light.

Meanwhile, Qing Yu could no longer afford to observe Lin Feng’s various symptoms. Her figure became ethereal, constantly shifting and moving quickly to distance herself from the air waves caused by the great battle.

’Facing the full strength of Xuan Shang, I would only have the option to flee for my life if I were to face him now. It seems I need to find some time for intense Cultivation soon.’ Qing Yu spun her figure, dissipating the incoming air waves one more time, pondering deeply.
