The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1211 - 1209: The Mysterious Youth Appears!

Chapter 1211: Chapter 1209: The Mysterious Youth Appears!

Outside the Imperial Capital Fengyun, a ceaseless chorus of battle cries echoed.

The warriors of Miracle Ridge and the legions of the Holy Night Dynasty were locked in fierce combat with the followers of the Five Poison Sect amidst the yellow smoke!

Lin Bai, riding a flying sword, arrived and landed next to Ye Wuhuan!

"The Saint has returned?"

"What’s the situation in Lingdong now?"

Ye Wuhuan looked at Lin Bai, his face bearing an inescapable shadow of gloom.

"Not good," Lin Bai shook his head slightly. As he had flown here on his sword, he had passed many imperial cities of various dynasties, all of which were scenes of carnage and destruction.

"Has it come to this here?"

"The Five Poison Sect actually has so many strong ones, warriors of the Human Elixir Realm, Earth Elixir Realm, and Heavenly Elixir Realm, not at all inferior to Miracle Ridge?"

Lin Bai looked towards the fierce melee in front of them, his eyes cold as he spoke.

Ye Wuhuan heard what Lin Bai said, and his eyes sank slightly: "Yes, I never expected that after skulking in the shadows for twenty years, the strength and foundation of the Five Poison Sect had not dropped at all compared to Miracle Ridge."

"But that’s not what troubles me the most."

"The most troublesome thing should be the Five Poison Sect’s Three Great Miraculous Poisons, the Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter!"

"Among the cultivators here, there are few warriors of the Heavenly Elixir Realm from the Five Poison Sect. Most are from the Earth or Human Elixir Realms. However, because of the Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter, our warriors from Miracle Ridge are having their cultivation levels continually reduced."

Ye Wuhuan stated flatly.

"Three Great Miraculous Poisons..."

Lin Bai looked towards the yellow smoke and at Dugu Yun, who was ahead, his face showing a flicker of solemnity.

The Three Great Miraculous Poisons of the Five Poison Sect were all too familiar to Lin Bai, having already experienced their potent effects.

"Hasn’t anyone in Miracle Ridge been able to decipher these Three Great Miraculous Poisons after all these years of research?" Lin Bai asked mildly.

Ye Wuhuan shook his head: "No, the methods used to create these Three Great Miraculous Poisons are extremely sophisticated, making them utterly inscrutable."

"The Three Great Miraculous Poisons, said to be left behind by the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor, are certainly extraordinary," Ye Wuhuan remarked.

Lin Bai fell silent, looking towards the fierce battle ahead!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The battle cries shook the heavens!

At that moment, three blood-red figures rushed rapidly towards Dugu Yun!

Dugu Yun’s face turned fierce as he unleashed a sword strike from the air.

A Heaven-reaching sword aura slashed down upon one of the three, sending out a howling sword light that struck the chest but merely pushed the three back more than a dozen steps!

"The Flying Sky Realm!"

Dugu Yun exclaimed in shock, his face revealing a hint of surprise at the sight of the three figures before him.

The Flying Sky Realm? There were three from the Flying Sky Realm! The Five Poison Sect had such depth?

Dugu Yun felt a chill of dread wash over him.

With a wicked smile, the three charged at Dugu Yun from different directions!

Dugu Yun held his sword ready and engaged in fierce combat with the trio!

"Senior Dugu Yun seems to be in trouble?"

"Three from the Flying Sky Realm?"

Lin Bai’s eyes widened in shock as he watched the three assailants surrounding Dugu Yun, his face showing a trace of terror.

Ye Wuhuan had also looked over and upon seeing the three attacking Dugu Yun, his face too revealed surprise: "The Blood Poison Guards!"

Lin Bai asked, "What are the Blood Poison Guards?"

Ye Wuhuan replied, "I didn’t think the Five Poison Sect had truly found the method to refine the Blood Poison Pill!"

"Within the Five Poison Sect, there is a forbidden pill, a highly toxic pill. Once ingested, its poison stimulates a warrior’s potential, allowing a warrior to reach the strength of the Flying Sky Realm in a short period. However, this method can only be maintained for ten days. After ten days, the warrior who has consumed the Blood Poison Pill will bleed out and die!"

Lin Bai silently watched the scene unfold before him, his face revealing a trace of shock.

"Let’s pull back."

"Today, it’s impossible to take down the Fengyun Dynasty."

Ye Wuhuan gave the order.

Immediately, the signal to retreat was sounded, and countless armies and warriors attacking the Fengyun Dynasty began to withdraw.

So did Dugu Yun.

Over fifty miles outside the Imperial Capital Fengyun, the warriors of the Holy Night Dynasty and the Miracle Ridge set up camp.

A large number of high-ranking warriors from the Miracle Ridge gathered within the Commander’s Tent!

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan were among them.

And, naturally, Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan sat in the highest seats.

Ye Wuhuan spoke in a cold voice, "Let’s hear your thoughts, everyone."

Dugu Yun said with a faint smile, "I didn’t expect that there really would be a presence of Blood Poison Guards here, but these Flying Sky Realm warriors who have been forcibly elevated by Elixir Pills are quite unstable in their cultivation. Their foundation is shaky. If we continue to be entangled with them, perhaps I will have the power to slay them all!"

"But the problem is, if there are still Blood Poison Guards within the city, that would be troublesome," Dugu Yun added indifferently.

Ye Wuhuan said, "Indeed, the Blood Poison Guards are a very troublesome issue."

At this moment, Jian Ruohan spoke, "But what’s even more troublesome is the Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter, the spread of the yellow smoke. Our warriors, without a specific antidote, would see their cultivation instantly decreased upon stepping into it, and this is highly disadvantageous for the battle!"

Ye Wuhuan also nodded, "That is also a very troublesome issue."

"What are the casualties?"

Dugu Yun slowly said, "The casualties on the Holy Night Dynasty’s side may be quite severe, but it’s relatively better on the side of the Miracle Ridge. Of the warriors we brought, about thirty thousand have been killed or injured."

"Moreover, another forty thousand have been affected by the Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter. Upon returning, their cultivation has been continually declining. I estimate by tomorrow evening, their cultivation will have fallen to the True Martial Realm..."

Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun both had somewhat unpleasant expressions on their faces!

Inside the Commander’s Tent, all of the warriors fell into silence.

Lin Bai on the side didn’t have any good solutions either.

"Reporting to Senior Dugu Yun and Your Majesty, there is a young man outside who claims he has a way to neutralize the toxicity of the Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter."

At this time, a soldier hurriedly entered the Commander’s Tent, saying eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan muttered, "A young man? Could it be an alchemist from the Dan Dao Courtyard has arrived?"

Dugu Yun said, "Stop guessing, let him come in to see."

Ye Wuhuan nodded, "Let him in then."

Before long, a young man dressed in coarse hemp with a painting tube on his back, walked into the Commander’s Tent.

"It’s you!"

Lin Bai said in surprise.

As the young man walked in, his face remained calm. He glanced at Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan, gave a slight bow in greeting, and then upon hearing Lin Bai’s exclamation, he smiled and looked over, "Brother Lin Bai, long time no see. Since we parted in Lingxi City that year, it has been three years now, hasn’t it?"

Lin Bai looked at the young man, his face breaking into a smile.

Although Lin Bai did not know this young man’s name, he had indeed provided the cure for the Snake Heart Poison that afflicted Lin Yue.

Curiously, Dugu Yun asked, "Lin Bai, you know him?"

Lin Bai smiled, "Indeed, we have met once. He cured a relative of mine from the Snake Heart Poison."

"Oh?"

"You can cure Snake Heart Poison? Then do you have a way to counter the Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter?"

Ye Wuhuan’s eyes were sparkling with excitement as he looked towards the young man!

The young man said with a smile, "Naturally, I have a way, otherwise I wouldn’t have come here!"

"Before I came, I had already prepared some Elixir Pills!"

As the young man spoke, he took a jade bottle out of his Storage Bag and handed it to Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun, saying, "This Elixir Pill is sufficient to neutralize the toxicity of the Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter."
