Chapter 473: Chapter 473 Calamity Poison Pill

On the surface, it didn’t seem likely that he would win, but the Ice Demon Elder wasn’t very worried.

Brute force was only part of the equation. To defeat an opponent, one had to rely on more than just physical strength.

Therefore, as soon as he realized he was no match for Ye Xuan in terms of strength, the Ice Demon Elder decisively abandoned trying to overpower him and instead considered other methods of victory.

He had many powerful combat abilities. Physical strength was merely the least impressive and weakest among them! He could use his strongest measures to defeat Ye Xuan; there was no need to challenge his opponent’s strength head-on with his own weaknesses.

"How about that, I told you, you are no match for me. Better go back and train for another hundred years!"

Ye Xuan repelled his opponent with one move and didn’t continue the chase. Instead, he said with a mocking smile.

"Hmph, don’t get too pleased with yourself. While you may be strong, there are more ways in this world to subdue an enemy than just brute force."

The Ice Demon Elder’s face turned dark as he snorted coldly and, in less than a tenth of a second of thought, he pulled out a short flute-like bamboo tube from his chest.

The bamboo tube was as thick as a finger and two fingers long, not quite identifiable as anything specific. The Ice Demon Elder held it in his hand and stuffed the mouthpiece into his mouth.

He took a deep breath, puffing up his cheeks like an angry toad, then aimed the flute at Ye Xuan and blew forcefully.

Pfft!

A slender steel needle, glowing faintly and coated with deadly poison, shot out from the flute’s mouth. It streaked across the air with a chilling gleam, shooting towards Ye Xuan like a shooting star.

This poison needle was extremely fast. If it hit Ye Xuan, the potent poison would invade his body, and it would take only half a minute to claim his life, ten times more deadly than a rattlesnake’s venom!

Watching the approaching blue poison needle, a hint of scorn crossed Ye Xuan’s lips.

This Ice Demon Elder really was naive, thinking he could take Ye Xuan’s life with such a thing. Ridiculous indeed!

Ye Xuan’s figure flashed and instantly vanished from his original position, the poison needle hitting the ground where he had just been standing with a sharp ping.

The next second, Ye Xuan’s figure flickered continuously, creating a series of afterimages, denying the Ice Demon Elder any chance to aim.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Four successive poison needles were fired, but they all hit the ground, not even touching Ye Xuan’s shadow, let alone inflicting any harm on him.

The Ice Demon Elder was extremely annoyed. Was this kid as slippery as an eel? Five consecutive poison needles had all been dodged!

Swish!

At that moment, Ye Xuan flashed forward, spotting a hard pebble on the ground and swiftly kicked it.

"Playing the shooting game? I’m all in!"

The pebble shot out at high speed, whistling sharply through the air like a bullet from a gun, heading straight for the Ice Demon Elder’s face.

Hearing the sound of it cutting through the air, the Ice Demon Elder was startled and, not bothering to shoot any more poison needles, he hastily dodged to the side, narrowly evading the pebble.

As Ye Xuan kicked the pebble, the Ice Demon Elder reacted immediately, moving swiftly, and thus easily avoided it. But before he could even catch his breath, another whizzing sound rang out, heralding another pebble flying at him.

The Ice Demon Elder had no choice but to dodge again.

Barely avoiding the second pebble.

Swish swish swish.

The third, fourth, and fifth pebbles followed, flying even faster and more ferociously than before.

The Ice Demon Elder, exhausted from scrambling around, dodging back and forth, looked like a monkey being toyed with by Ye Xuan, utterly embarrassed!

"Hehe, old tortoise, you’re quite good at dodging, but let me give you an appetizer to taste the freshness. The main course will be right up! Get ready; don’t be too surprised."

A playful smirk curled at the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth. He chuckled wickedly and continuously kicked out, his feet almost creating a phantom outline.

Swish, swish, swish, swish.

A succession of pebbles flew up and fell, like a series of dark night meteors, bringing with them a fierce Qi Force, densely pelting the Ice Demon Elder.

The Ice Demon Elder inwardly lamented his plight. Although his speed was not slow, there was simply no escape from the multitude of stones. After dodging a few in front, he was struck on the head by a swiftly incoming stone meteor, immediately resulting in a bloodied and broken scalp.

The tremendous impact was comparable to a blow from a heavy hammer. His head swam, stars burst before his eyes, and he nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang!

The remaining stones also hit him in various parts of his body, causing a numbing of his hands and feet, as if his bones were shattered, with unbearable pain all over.

The Ice Demon Elder quickly darted behind a large rock to take cover from Ye Xuan’s stone assault and began to breathe heavily.

As he dodged behind the rock, his forehead was struck once again by a pebble, splitting open his brow, and blood gushed out continuously, running down over his cheeks to his neck, turning an already gaunt and unsightly face even more sinister and horrifying.

Suppressing his dizziness, he swiftly pondered his next move.

This couldn’t go on; he must find a way to deal with Ye Xuan quickly, or the day might come when he would truly lose his life here.

"Hahaha... old tortoise, I was right, wasn’t I? You really want to be a tortoise, hiding in your shell and not coming out?"

Ye Xuan mocked loudly from the outside, infuriating the Ice Demon Elder.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Ice Demon Elder’s expression contorted into a grotesque mask of fury, making his face even more terrifying.

With a fierce bite of his teeth, he pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his chest. The Ice Demon Elder’s eyes turned ruthless as he murmured coldly to himself, "I have no choice but to use it!"

Having said that, he did not hesitate to open the porcelain bottle and poured out a purple-black Medicine Pill, emitting an unpleasant, fishy stench.

This Medicine Pill, called the Calamity Poison Pill, was one of the Ice Demon Elder’s life-saving trump cards.

This Calamity Poison Pill was concocted from dozens of poisonous materials and possessed absolutely terrifying toxicity!

Just one pill, and if an average person were to consume it, within one minute their intestines would rupture and belly rot, causing death; within three minutes, the flesh would decay into ooze; and within ten minutes, they would surely turn into a puddle of pus, beyond the help of even an Immortal.

Even for the Ice Demon Elder, who had dealt with poisons all his life and was a master at using them, taking the Calamity Poison Pill would undoubtedly result in severe trauma!

While it would not be life-threatening, it would still damage his internal organs and deplete his vitality, shortening his lifespan.

Under normal circumstances, he would not resort to using this pill unless absolutely necessary.

By taking the Calamity Poison Pill now, at the cost of reducing his lifespan, he was obviously not seeking suicide!

Rather, he intended to use the toxicity of the Calamity Poison Pill to alter his body with a secret technique, evolving into an Evil Poison Body, greatly enhancing his combat power.

Because, once transformed into the Evil Poison Body, not only would his martial power double, but every part of his body would be filled with deadly poison, effectively transforming himself into a Poison Man! Even the air he exhaled would turn into poison gas, possessing unspeakably terrifying power.

The Evil Poison Body merely needed to touch any part of an opponent, and the enemy would be poisoned to death in an instant.

In the upcoming battle with Ye Xuan, with the power of the Evil Poison Body, the Ice Demon Elder would be invincible. His entire body could deal damage to Ye Xuan, but should Ye Xuan so much as touch him, he would surely suffer from the poison entering his system, at best suffering an open flesh wound, at worst dying on the spot.

This was his ace killing move!
