Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Dying Person (Third Update)

Among the spectator crowd, Nangong Man Sha and Tang Xin stood in silence, their gazes fixed intently on the two figures atop the Snow Mountain Peak.

Although they were somewhat distant, they could vaguely make out how Chu Ge had just repelled Elder Gui.

Huo Tianqian couldn’t help but click his tongue at the side, "Mr. Chu seems to have grown even stronger than before."

Tang Xin naturally had not seen the earlier Chu Ge, but Nangong Man Sha had.

At this moment, she stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, her face calm, yet inside her heart was already churning with waves because of Chu Ge.

Chu Ge was like an uncut jade, that if meticulously sculpted, was sure to become something great.

His future was boundless, and Nangong Man Sha suddenly felt as if she had drifted another step away from Chu Ge.

At the same time, she grew even more curious about his fiancee.

She wondered, what kind of woman could captivate such an outstanding man.

Tang Xin asked with some curiosity, "Miss Man Sha, have you seen Mr. Chu duel with someone before?"

Nangong Man Sha thought of the events that had happened on the Public Sea and nodded slightly, "Our judgment was not wrong; he is a very outstanding man."

So outstanding that it made her feel a sense of inferiority, making her feel that no matter how accomplished she herself might be, she could not walk shoulder to shoulder with Chu Ge.

Huo Tianqian still harbored some worries, although Chu Ge and Elder Gui presently seemed to have the upper hand.

After all, Elder Gui hailed from the Ghost Poison Sect, a faction notorious for its cunning and treachery, and being an Innate Grandmaster added to his advantage. Even if Chu Ge possessed the capability of an Innate Grandmaster, he had yet to achieve a breakthrough and was still separated from a Grandmaster by a membrane thin as a feather.

Now, Shen Congwen was also feeling somewhat anxious on the side, even blaming himself for not cultivating the Earth Ganoderma earlier, so that Chu Ge could have used it to break through his limits.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Chu knows what he’s doing," Nangong Man Sha said indifferently. Chu Ge never committed to anything he wasn’t sure of; since he had accepted the challenge from the Ghost Poison Sect Master, he came with a hundred percent determination.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, then simultaneously turned their gazes back to the Snow Mountain Peak.

An unflustered handsome face, Chu Ge stood proudly against the snowstorm, "Elder Gui, aren’t you ready to use your full strength yet?"

Elder Gui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his lips curving into a scornful and arrogant smile, "It seems I underestimated you. Being able to injure me proves you have some skill, and those disciples of mine who died by your hand did not die in vain."

The look in Elder Gui’s eyes became increasingly fervent as they fixed on Chu Ge; he was somewhat impatient to absorb the True Qi within Chu Ge’s body. He had to admit, Chu Ge’s physique and the tremendous energy contained within were very suitable for cultivating his Insect Poisonous Insects.

Chu Ge, of course, was oblivious to the fact that his body had caught Elder Gui’s attention; he just felt a chill crawl up his spine as he observed Elder Gui’s gaze, akin to a werewolf eyeing its prey.

Chu Ge said somewhat speechlessly, "Elder Gui, do you think that by looking at me with such eager eyes, I’m going to show mercy to your subordinates?"

Elder Gui huffed lightly, "Kid, don’t get cocky too soon. Now, let me show you the true power of a Grandmaster!"

With his words trailing off, a gigantic black snowball suddenly condensed behind him. Elder Gui slowly spread his hands, his gaze on Chu Ge, which gradually changed from fiery to dangerous.

The snowball kept getting bigger as the surrounding snowflakes quickly merged into it; the white snowflakes immediately turned black upon getting close to the snowball.

"Chu Ge, today I will let you witness what a real Innate Grandmaster is!"

After Elder Gui spoke, he summoned his True Qi and pushed the snowball towards Chu Ge.

Chu Ge stood still, his piercing eyes watching the snowball. Though it seemed to be built from accumulated snowflakes, in fact, it was not; it was suffused with a dense poison. Once struck by the snowball, the poison would instantly envelop him. If his reaction was a bit slower, the peak of Snow Mountain would become his burial ground.

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, and moved his left foot slowly. In the instant the snowball came flying, he virtually leaped into mid-air and successfully evaded the snowball’s collision.

But the snowball seemed to sense where Chu Ge was, and after failing to hit him the first time, it flew back again.

But this time, it was not just one snowball; it split into four snowballs that seemed to have their own consciousness, all simultaneously flying towards Chu Ge.

The four snowballs encircled him at the center, creating a massive siege. While encircling, two more snowballs split off and flew one above Chu Ge’s head and one below his feet.

At this moment, Chu Ge appeared to be trapped at a full three hundred sixty degrees without a blind spot.

The people at the base of the mountain who were watching this scene in tension inhaled sharply.

Especially Huo Tianqian, his dangling fist clenched tight, "Bad! Mr. Chu is surrounded."

"Those snowballs are filled with a thick poison. Whichever one collides, it will release its content, and when that happens, not only Chu Ge is in danger, but we will also be poisoned to death by this gas."

Nangong Man Sha narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke in a somewhat stern tone.

This Ghost Poison Sect, it seems, was bent on destroying them all together!

Tang Xin looked shocked at Nangong Man Sha, "But there are many ordinary people here, surely Elder Gui wouldn’t do that?"

Wasn’t it supposed to be a duel? If they used the lives of innocent people as leverage, wouldn’t it lose the meaning of a duel?

Huo Tianqian scoffed coldly, speaking with mocking disdain: "Lady Tang, you are really too naive. What kind of sect is the Ghost Poison Sect? It’s notorious; do you think a sect leader of an infamous sect cares about reputation?"

"The goal of Elder Gui is to put Mr. Chu in a difficult position! No matter what Mr. Chu chooses, we all are bound to be implicated!"

When Nangong Man Sha said this, she didn’t intentionally lower her voice. Her purpose was to let the onlookers hear.

Indeed, as soon as they heard Nangong Man Sha’s words, their faces immediately changed. They spread the word from one to ten, and before long, only Nangong Man Sha, Tang Xin, Huo Tianqian, Shen Congwen, and the others remained at the scene.

Not far away, a familiar figure was standing there — Honda Sakura.

Seeing Chu Ge now had no escape, her heart was unspeakably joyous.

Honda Sakura had already regarded Chu Ge as a dead man and even attributed all these events to her own doing!
