Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 157 - 157 157 Deadly Poison

157: Chapter 157: Deadly Poison 157: Chapter 157: Deadly Poison Suddenly, before Muramasa Kozuki could strike with his blade, his face violently turned a ghastly shade of green, while a copious amount of black blood poured from the corners of his mouth.

The Muramasa Demon Sword in his hands fell to the ground at that moment.

“Die!”

Bang!

The portly man with a cruel sneer slapped his Corpse Poison Palm onto Muramasa Kozuki’s chest, knocking him straight to the ground, leaving Muramasa Kozuki with no strength to strike back.

Such a scene left everyone present in utter stupor.

No one had anticipated that the terrifying Muramasa Kozuki would be defeated by an unknown nobody—a person who was merely Ye Xuan’s servant.

Silence, dead silence.

Tens of thousands from Xia Country were now silent as the grave, and it was only after a good ten breaths that they erupted in cheers of overwhelming joy.

At this moment!

Muramasa Kozuki couldn’t stop the fresh blood flowing from his mouth, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, and his eyes fixed on the portly man with a look of furious anger.

“How despicable of you, to poison me?” Muramasa Kozuki bellowed in rage.

“What a joke, a huge joke.

I’m despicable and shameless, but aren’t you just the same?

Don’t forget, you were able to defeat Ye Lingtian with the power of the Muramasa Demon Sword, weren’t you?”

“If you can win with the help of external forces, why can’t I kill you with the aid of poison?” the portly man scoffed repeatedly.

As the portly man finished speaking, Muramasa Kozuki’s complexion turned ashen.

He wanted to retort loudly, but found himself at a loss for words at the very last moment.

“Very well, today I, Muramasa Kozuki, admit defeat.

But you have to make it clear to me, when did you poison me, and why did I not feel it at all?” Muramasa Kozuki roared, clearly unaware of where his defeat had originated.

“Go ask King Yan for the answer.”

The portly man approached leisurely, his smile twisted with cruelty, obviously not intending to spare Muramasa Kozuki’s life.

This made Muramasa Kozuki’s expression change drastically as he said, “I’ve already admitted defeat, do you still intend to kill me?”

“You’re truly foolish.”

The portly man, standing close by and looking down from above, said, “I never stated that we were comparing martial arts.

Since you dared to challenge my master, you should be prepared to die.”

“Time to die.”

In Muramasa Kozuki’s eyes filled with shock and despair, the portly man chopped down with a hand blade, severing Muramasa Kozuki’s head.

The eerie and terrifying blood stained the ground, an utterly grotesque sight to behold.

Brutal and venomous, relentlessly ruthless—this was the image the portly man presented to everyone, allowing them to truly understand him in that moment, and some were so frightened that their legs trembled.

Picking up the Muramasa Demon Sword, the portly man took a sweeping look at everyone present and then smiled, “My master does not see visitors.

I also hope that in the future, you will refrain from bothering us.

Everyone, please leave.”

Once he said this, the portly man took the Muramasa Demon Sword and strode towards Qingyun Small House.

Muramasa Kozuki’s two servants had been scared stiff, only coming to their senses when they saw the Muramasa Demon Sword in the portly man’s hands.

“Wait, the Muramasa Demon Sword is one of Japan’s National Guardian Divine Artifacts.

Please kindly return it to us,” one of the servants said with a trembling voice.

“Heh, if you want to die, by all means take the sword back,” the fat man said with a sinister smile as he turned his head, immediately causing the complexions of the two servants to turn ashen white.

After a moment of hesitation, they quickly collected Muramasa Kozuki’s body and fled the scene.

At that moment!

Tens of thousands of Xia Country’s citizens watched this scene dumbfounded, unable to believe that Muramasa Kozuki had died at the hands of Ye Xuan’s servant, and even the National Guardian Divine Artifact, the Muramasa Demon Blade, had been taken by Ye Xuan’s servant.

“What an incredible fat man, who on earth is he?”

“I’ve seen him once in the Wu’an Office, initially thinking he was just an ordinary member, but now it seems he is actually a peerless master.”

“Nonsense, he clearly addressed Ye Xuan as ‘sir’ and had always considered himself a servant.

In my opinion, this Master Ye is the most fearsome entity.”

Various speculations arose, and the crowd gradually dispersed, but the death of Muramasa Kozuki greatly invigorated the people of Xia Country.

…

Inside the Qingyun Small House.

The fat man, holding the Demon Sword Murasame with a smile on his face, respectfully bowed before Ye Xuan, while Gu Beichen looked on with a puzzled expression, still unable to understand why Muramasa Kozuki had been fatally poisoned and hadn’t been able to wield the Muramasa Demon Blade.

“Sir, I have executed Muramasa Kozuki on the spot, and here is the Muramasa Demon Blade for your inspection,” the fat man said humbly, presenting the Demon Blade with both hands to Ye Xuan.

“Hmm, you did well, I wasn’t mistaken about you.”

Ye Xuan casually took the blade, and a flash of confusion crossed his narrowing eyes before quietly disappearing.

“Fat man, you’ve been with me all day, when did you poison Muramasa Kozuki?” Gu Beichen couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked the fat man.

The fat man smiled slightly and said, “Actually, I owe a lot to the Dark Night Group.

If it weren’t for Viper providing me with sufficient information, I wouldn’t have been able to kill Muramasa Kozuki.”

“What information?” Gu Beichen inquired.

“Let me explain.”

Viper stepped forward with a smile and said, “As soon as the challenge from Muramasa Kozuki to the master was announced, the fat man had me help him investigate everything about this person.

After days of investigation, no matter his routines or preferences, everything was thoroughly researched by the Dark Night Group, even down to how many times he went to the toilet each day—everything was documented.”

The fat man chimed in with a smile and added, “According to the file provided by Viper, I discovered an interesting fact: Muramasa Kozuki liked to eat raw slices of a fish called Blood-Patterned Fish.”

“Before I followed Master Ye, I was a doctor, and though I can’t claim to be extremely proficient in medicinal knowledge, I did understand a thing or two about Blood-Patterned Fish.”

“This fish’s flesh is indeed fresh and non-toxic, but when prepared with Green Blue Grass, it becomes a deadly poison.”

As the fat man spoke these words, he looked to Gu Beichen and continued, “Green Blue Grass is extremely rare, yet for the Netherworld to find it is extremely simple.

Several days ago, I transplanted a large amount of Green Blue Grass in front of the Qingyun Small House.

On that very same day, as soon as Muramasa Kozuki ate the Blood-Patterned Fish slices, the scent of the Green Blue Grass triggered the severe poison.”

As the fat man clarified everything, Gu Beichen suddenly understood and his gaze towards the fat man carried a hint of admiration, finally comprehending why Ye Xuan had him follow the fat man.

At this time!

Ye Xuan wore a pleased smile, feeling greatly satisfied with the decision to establish the Netherworld.

With the fat man and others by his side, he could avoid many troubles, which was his original intention in creating the Netherworld.
