Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor
Chapter 1428: Poison Skill Like God
"Where exactly did something go wrong?"
At this moment, Qi Feng was completely unaware that danger had already arrived. In his sensing, that was indeed his own Seven-Colored Centipede Poison, and it posed absolutely no threat to him.
Puff!
In the next moment, Qi Feng’s extended right hand had already taken hold of that crimson toxic light point, making a soft sound. Until this moment, everyone still hadn’t realized what would happen next.
"See, I told you, you crafted this poison incorrectly!"
Seeing Qi Feng had already touched the crimson light point, Liu Hanyi smiled like a blooming flower, speaking once again, creating confusion on Qi Feng’s face as he looked up.
"There’s nothing wrong... hmm?"
Almost subconsciously, he retorted, but before Qi Feng could finish his sentence, his face suddenly changed color. He felt his own Seven-Colored Centipede Poison uncontrollably burrowing into his palm.
This truly shocked Qi Feng to the core, as this was the poison he himself refined. Normally, when he unleashed it, he could control it as easily as moving his own limbs, let alone when it was in his grasp.
"Get out!"
Feeling the energy already burrowing into his wrist, Qi Feng no longer had the confident demeanor he had earlier. His roar echoed, and all the Meridian Qi surged up.
"What’s happening?"
Qi Feng’s sudden abnormal behavior, the change in his face, and the loud roar puzzled the onlookers below. How could retrieving his own poison cause such chaos?
"Could it be that the so-called Seven-Colored Centipede Poison was really refined incorrectly and discovered by Miss Hanyi?"
Beneath the stone platform, an Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master scratched his head. However, as soon as he spoke, those nearby looked at him with strange eyes, making him feel quite embarrassed.
After this moment, everyone had almost realized that the poison Liu Hanyi tossed back to Qi Feng had probably been tampered with, leading to Qi Feng’s frantic actions and changing face.
But these Meridian Refining Masters couldn’t understand why if Liu Hanyi had indeed tampered with the poison, Qi Feng, being so cautious, would easily take back the crimson poison?
This led to the deduction that Liu Hanyi’s returned poison still carried the aura of the Seven-Colored Centipede Poison, and even its owner, Qi Feng, wasn’t able to detect it, leading him to fall into the trap inadvertently.
Indeed, this was the case. Although Qi Feng’s Seven-Colored Centipede Poison couldn’t harm Liu Hanyi, it injected a trace of Immortal Embryo Poison upon passing through her hands.
The Immortal Embryo Poison is unlike any other poison in the world; it’s a unique toxin inherent from birth. Even Yun Xiao’s special physique would not be able to withstand it without Little Dragon’s One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons; once afflicted, it would lead to inevitable doom.
Strictly speaking, Liu Hanyi used a small trick for an easy victory this time, desperately concealing the aura of the Immortal Embryo Poison, making Qi Feng believe she had returned his own Seven-Colored Centipede Poison.
It was precisely this small trick that caught Qi Feng off guard, making the subsequent development much simpler. Even if he were a Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, he remained powerless against the Immortal Embryo Poison.
"Dammit, what kind of poison is this?"
Just moments ago, Qi Feng had some confidence, but his furious roar now revealed his endless means to no avail against the unknown toxin, causing his old face to darken like water.
At this point, Qi Feng understood he had fallen into an opponent’s trap, and this poison alarmed him greatly. He had a vague suspicion that perhaps he might not be able to resolve such a poison.
"Mr. Qi, if you admit defeat now, perhaps I can help detoxify you. If you delay too long, I can’t guarantee it!"
Just when Qi Feng was anxiously at a loss, Liu Hanyi’s voice gracefully arrived, sounding remotely familiar to him. Hadn’t he just said these words not so long ago?
But now, the positions had exchanged completely, and it seemed Qi Feng’s state was far worse than Liu Hanyi’s earlier. His forehead and face were drenched in fine beads of sweat.
Even though he clearly heard Liu Hanyi’s words, Qi Feng, having struggled to reach this point, was unwilling to surrender due to a single word, after all, he had the heart to win the championship.
"Ah!"
However, at this moment, Qi Feng suddenly felt the poison within him lightly pulse. This tiny movement jolted his old body, and an indescribable pain surged, causing him to cry out miserably.
Qi Feng’s understanding of the Immortal Embryo Poison was still too limited. He didn’t realize that his earlier feeble resistance was only due to Liu Hanyi not triggering its outbreak yet.
Now seeing this old guy still wanting to be stubborn, Liu Hanyi naturally didn’t hold back. If Qi Feng refused to admit defeat, she wouldn’t mind having one more corpse on this stone platform.
It was not until the Immortal Embryo Poison completely erupted that Qi Feng realized, even if his Poison Meridian Skill were twice as strong, he probably still couldn’t neutralize that unknown deadly poison.
For the excruciating pain brought by the poison, Qi Feng could endure for a while, but this endurance undoubtedly had little effect. As a Poison Vein Master, he knew the consequences of letting deadly poison completely erode the meridians.
Even if the poison could be cleared in the future, the cultivation speed would probably plummet. Since persisting was pointless, what was the meaning in continuing?
"I... I admit defeat!"
So at this moment, Qi Feng didn’t hesitate much. When his voice admitting defeat resounded, many spectators below the stage couldn’t help but sniffle, secretly thinking that this ended far too quickly, didn’t it?
Originally, it was believed that a Poison Vein contest at the Heavenly Rank level would surely be a fierce exchange, with one displaying a deadly poison and the other countering with another, making for an exciting spectacle.
Even under the suggestion of Song Qiuchan earlier, several parties joined together into two camps, ensuring this Poison Meridian Path contest would be unprecedentedly spectacular.
But who would have thought that after just one round, where Qi Feng only displayed one poison, he was directly subdued by Liu Hanyi, leading him to surrender. This outcome was beyond everyone’s expectations.
"This girl is peculiar. It seems that even if I deploy my poison, once handled by her, it can’t be touched again."
Compared to the spectators, Lu Tianwen and Song Qiuchan, who were also on stage, exchanged glances and saw this information reflected in each other’s eyes.
Speaking of which, Song Qiuchan and Lu Tianwen’s Poison Vein skills might be slightly superior to Qi Feng’s, but not overwhelmingly so. Since this deadly poison could render Qi Feng helpless, naturally it would leave them impotent too.
"Miss Hanyi, please help detoxify me!"
After admitting defeat, seeing that the genius girl from the Sky Poison Institute remained unmoved, Qi Feng grew anxious, feeling that if delayed any longer, every meridian in his body would shatter.
"Don’t you realize the poison is already neutralized?"
However, as Qi Feng spoke, while people were still puzzled, they suddenly heard Liu Hanyi’s words, surprising everyone once again.
Because many of the spectating individuals present were Meridian Refining Masters, they knew that even neutralizing one’s own poison required considerable effort, at the very least feeding the poisoned person a detoxification elixir first, right?
But now, Liu Hanyi stood in place without moving an inch, yet she had neutralized the deadly poison within Qi Feng’s body, a scene that left many skeptical.
"Neutralized... neutralized?"
Especially Qi Feng himself, who found it hard to accept the result, initially suspecting that Liu Hanyi was making him suffer more as an afterthought.
"Is it really gone?"
But just as this thought occurred in Qi Feng’s mind, he once again carefully sensed the energy within his body and found that the mutant deadly poison causing him immense pain had indeed vanished without a trace.
With this discovery, as joy rose in his heart, Qi Feng also felt a profound shock.
No matter how it was said, he was a dignified Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, with an understanding of the Poison Meridian Path unrivaled on the Tenglong Continent.
Yet, from this Lianyun Mountain Poison Meridian genius girl, Qi Feng realized that his centuries of cultivation in Poison Vein Skill seemed utterly futile, with no place for their application.
The opponent merely needed a single hand gesture to alter his Seven-Colored Centipede Poison, and in a single thought, neutralized the special deadly poison that had been wreaking havoc on him.
With such means, such poison technique, Qi Feng truly felt inferior. If he had harbored any unwillingness due to negligence initially, now he admitted defeat wholeheartedly.
Even with Qi Feng’s confidence, if someone could achieve things he couldn’t, it proved the other’s superiority; losing to such a person didn’t seem unfair to him.
"Miss Hanyi’s poison skill is like God, Qi is impressed!"
Qi Feng was forthright. Moreover, neither he nor Yun Xiao nor Lianyun Mountain bore any grudge, so at this moment, he clasped his fist in respect, ignoring the two with grim expressions not far away, and promptly leapt off the stone platform.
"This Qi Feng indeed accepts defeat with grace!"
Seeing Qi Feng’s action, although he was a loser, compared to Gu Huashan, who wouldn’t admit defeat after losing in the Medical Pulse contest earlier, Qi Feng was undoubtedly superior by a hundredfold, thus they didn’t hold back their words of praise.
