Chapter 139: Poison Centipede

Su Chen charged forward the moment the voice reached his ears, his speed reaching the extreme . He turned around to face the new opponent without slowing down, now flying backwards . At the same time, he struck out with eighteen palm strikes .

The palm wind from the strikes sounded out like thunder as they flew through the air .

That black cloud was forcefully stopped by Su Chen’s palm wind; it couldn’t get close to him at all .

This was the benefit of a contemporary Origin Skill . Although the Thunder Blade didn’t possess much strength, it could be used both offensively and defensively . As the palm wind surged forwards, it sounded out like thunder, preventing the black cloud from advancing .

Su Chen took the opportunity to apply a magic barrier to himself before looking at the person who ambushed him .

Facing him was a youth dressed in green, a dense, black Qi swirling around his face . His gaze was filled with shock . “You actually dodged my Five Poisons Miasma? You do have some ability . ”

Pan Yue took this opportunity to stand up . Moments before, he was bitterly pleading for mercy, but now a thick killing intent showed on his face . “You dare disrespect me like that? I cannot spare you . Die!”

Pan Yue stabbed with his sword toward Su Chen .

When the youth in green saw this scene, he curled his lips . “Idiot . ”

Although this sword strike was vicious, Pan Yue couldn’t move freely with his injured legs . He possessed the killing intent, but lacked the skill or strength to carry it out . Su Chen casually sidestepped, dodging the sword strike . At the same time, he slammed his knee into Pan Yue’s midsection . Su Chen didn’t even need to use his fists to throw Pan Yue back to the ground . In fact, he didn’t even spare Pan Yue so much as a glance, his eyes locked on the green-clothed youth instead .

“Bastard!” Pan Yue gritted his teeth as he tried to crawl to his feet . Before he stood up, however, he was greeted by another flying kick was aimed, this time hitting him in the head .

Su Chen put real force behind this kick . Even if Pan Yue didn’t die, he would be gravely injured .

The moment the kick landed on Pan Yue’s head, the green clothed person suddenly gestured . A streak of black light shot toward Su Chen . “I didn’t permit you to kill him, yet you think you can?”

Su Chen twisted his body and dodged the attack . The green-clothed youth already arrived in front of Pan Yue, sending him flying away with a kick . “Get out of here! What are you trying to do, get yourself killed?”

While he spoke to Pan Yue, his hands rapidly moved in the air, transforming into a thousand streaks of palm wind . These streaks of palm wind which smelled strongly and were poisonous shot toward Su Chen .

He didn’t receive his nickname, Poison Centipede, from his bloodline, but because of his proficiency in this palm technique which made it seem he had a thousand hands and feet . On top of that, he possessed extremely poisonous hands, making the skill all the more deadly . .

The poison palms forced Su Chen to retreat .

Pan Yue ad been removed from the battle after being kicked away by Kong Shen . He glared at Su Chen with a poisonous, hateful expression, then threw a glance at Kong Shen . He knew he couldn’t participate in this battle anymore . Instead, he turned tail and fled .

Seeing Pan Yue’s injured figure limp away, Su Chen didn’t get angry . A laugh escaped his mouth, and he said, “You really think he’ll remember what you did for him? You kicked him away . From his expression, it seems he resents you as well . There’s always people who don’t understand how to be grateful . ”

Kong Shen laughed wickedly . “Do you really think I can’t see kind of trash he is? I don’t need any of his gratefulness . All I need is for him to be an obedient puppet . ”

“You really think he’ll listen to you?”

“You thought I just randomly kicked him away? He is poisoned now!” Kong Shen said with delight . “But enough about him, how about you, don’t you hate me? After all, I was the one who ruined your plan of killing him . ”

Su Chen casually replied, “You already said you helped me poison him . Why would I care?”

Kong Shen laughed, “The poison won’t be fatal . It merely prevents him from using Origin Energy, and it leaves behind a distinct scent, making it easy for me to chase after him . How about it? Disappointed?” .

“I already thought I smelled something strange in the air,” Su Chen said . “Since that’s the case, I only have to kill you and then follow the scent to track him down, right? Haha, now I care even less . ”

The two never stopped exchanging blows during their conversation . An onlooker might confuse them for two bickering boys, but in reality, their strikes were aimed at the heart .

Both of them were trying to light the flames of rage in their opponent to disturb their state of mind . Su Chen did so by calling Pan Yue ungrateful, while Kong Shen mocked Su Chen for having failed to kill Pan Yue before he turned tail and fled . However, neither side succeeded . They had found their equal, both in terms of strength and wit .

Kong Shen struck out with about ten palm attacks in a row as he maniacally laughed . “Did you think I was just talking with you for the fun of it? You must be suicidal, opening your mouth in front of the Poison Centipede . Fall over for me!”

While he spoke, he fully concentrated on his palms, a pungent gas emerging from them .

Indeed, Su Chen’s body shook a few times, and a wave of black Qi washed across his face .

“You…” Su Chen’s face revealed an expression of disbelief . His movements became increasingly superficial as he tried to retreat . His hurried steps turned wobbly and it seemed like he would fall down at any moment .

Kong Shen giggled with delight . “You see, I already told you to fall over for me, but you didn’t listen!”

A palm flew toward Su Chen’s chest .

As the palm found its target, Kong Shen suddenly felt a hint of hesitation surface in his heart . He was confident in the power of his Five Poisons Miasma, but Origin Qi Scholars weren’t ordinary people . They possessed natural methods to neutralize poisons that entered their body . His poison would eventually succeed, but it was working surprisingly efficiently on Su Chen . Too efficiently . Why did the black Qi appear on his face so quickly? Something is wrong!

The alarms in his heart went off, signaling impending danger . He quickly retrieved his hand, then stared at Su Chen, who raised his head and calmly smiled . Kong Shen’s attention was drawn to a firebird that appeared in Su Chen’s hand before it darted towards him .

The firebird looked small and unassuming, but every fiber of Kong Shen’s being felt threatened by it .

He flew into the air with a strange cry, raising his speed to its extreme limit . He was called the Poison Centipede because it was like he possessed a thousand hands and feet . His attacks were speedy, as was he . He shifted at high-speed, and the Firebird whooshed past his shoulder . Kong Zhen was just about to let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Chen was gazing at him with a smile that was not a smile . He knew that the situation was about to go bad . He was quite good at adapting to the situation, and in that instant he reacted correctly . A magic barrier formed around him, protecting his body .

With a “BOOM”, the firebird slammed into Kong Zhen from behind . The barrier shattered, and Kong Zhen was sent flying as he spit out a mouthful of blood .

This guy could also take the hits . Although he was still dazed from his injuries and flying through midair, he waved his hand, and a swarm of poisonous wasps emerged and flew toward Su Chen .

Su Chen had just used the Erupting Firebird moments ago . Upon seeing the swarm of poisonous wasps flying towards him, he took out an item .

A jug of wine, to be precise .

He tossed it towards the swarm of poisonous wasps .

The explosive jug of wine was not nearly as powerful as the Erupting Firebird, but it affected a much greater area . If the Erupting Firebird was a single-target attack, the explosive jug of wine was very powerful for taking down multiple enemies . The explosion that followed decimated countless poisonous wasps .

Kong Zhen staggered to his feet only to find a sea of flames in front of him, while large swaths of poisonous wasps fell to the ground . He howled in pain, “MY TREASURES!”

He shot a venomous glare at Su Chen with rage . “YOU DESERVE TO DIE!”

Su Chen harrumphed, “I think you should take a good look at yourself first . ”

Su Chen was about to make his move, when his body swayed and his legs softened . This time, however, he was not faking it .

Kong Zhen yelled in delight, “So you were poisoned!”

Yes, Su Chen truly had been poisoned .

It was next to impossible to avoid being poisoned when battling someone like Poison Centipede Kong Zhen .

However, Origin Qi Scholars were very different from commoners . Their bodies possessed a natural ability to neutralize poison . If they were poisoned by common light or medium poisons, so long as they didn’t melt away the flesh and blood, it could be neutralized without the assistance of an antidote .

Poison Centipede Kong Zhen’s strength was limited, and he couldn’t use poisons that were too vicious . However, many years of toying around with poisons made it so that his resistance to poison was much higher than most people, but because of this he paid a price in his overall physical strength . For this reason he cultivated a body technique to strengthen his body, allowing him to withstand the blow from the Firebird without losing consciousness .

Su Cheng was poisoned, and Kong Zhen was gravely injured . Their situation was not that great, but their gazes were filled with viciousness and an unwillingness to back down .

They simultaneously yelled at the top of their lungs as they struck out .
