Chapter 231 A Battle for Life and Death
What he didn't know was that Xia Liangchun, who was leisurely conserving his strength at the top, had seen his every move.
Xia Liangchun immediately held his breath, his face expressionless, as if he had already known all of this.
Soon, the colorless and odorless gas spread like a plague throughout the entire forest.
Surprisingly, apart from Ba Dao Gui and Xia Liang Chun, no one else noticed it, as if the gas was invisible.
Xia Liangchun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.
He wasn't one of those wandering rogue cultivators; if it weren't for his extraordinary insight, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect the existence of that gas.
Although he hadn't noticed when the gas leaked out, he had seen the answer in the face of the Eight-Knife Demon. As for why he chose to hold his breath, it was because he had recognized the demon beast and knew its methods.
The Xia family's library is like a treasure trove of knowledge, containing information on tens of thousands of demonic beasts. Even though he had always been addicted to wine and neglected his cultivation, his family forced him to memorize these basic facts when he was young.
As expected, after a fierce battle, Wang Yuexuan, who was the weakest among them, began to turn purple like a ripe grape. By the time she realized that she had been poisoned, it was too late.
"Xuan-mei, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Wang Yuexuan swaying like a candle in the wind, Wang Ke quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Help me, cousin, I've been poisoned." Wang Yuexuan was barely breathing, as if she would die from the poison at any moment.
In a panic, Wang Ke frantically pulled out several bottles of pills from his storage bag, then, as if grasping at a straw, picked out a few pills and stuffed them all into Wang Yuexuan's cherry-like mouth.
However, just as he was about to search for a few more pills, a stream of purple blood, like a venomous snake, suddenly began to slowly spread from his neck toward his face.
This is exactly the same as what happened to Wang Yuexuan just now, except that his cultivation level is slightly higher than Wang Yuexuan's, which is why he was poisoned at this moment.
In an instant, Wang Ke spat out a mouthful of purple blood, which fell onto the tree branches like withered petals.
Wang Yuexuan, who was being supported by him, lost her support and fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.
"Eighth Brother, save me!" Wang Ke shouted hoarsely with his last bit of strength at the Eight-Knife Ghost who was watching coldly from afar.
However, Eight-Knife Demon remained unmoved, like a cold statue, showing no intention of offering any help.
Upon seeing this, Wang Ke immediately shifted his gaze and looked at Xia Liangchun with an almost pleading expression.
He said weakly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, save me! Here's your storage bag."
However, at that very moment, Xia Liangchun suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground like an old monk in meditation, and then his magical power surged like a raging wave, revealing a ferocious look on his face with gritted teeth.
Upon seeing this, Wang Ke felt utterly hopeless. He closed his eyes in despair and fell straight down like a boulder plummeting off a cliff, crashing heavily beside Wang Yuexuan. Both of them were now dead.
Seeing that both of them had died, Eight-Knife Ghost's face was ashen, and his hawk-like eyes were fixed on Xia Liangchun, who was sitting cross-legged and suppressing the poison.
At this moment, the broadsword he gripped tightly began to tremble slightly, as if telling of the complexity and unease in his heart.
Although Xia Liangchun's cultivation level was one realm lower than his, and by a difference between the mid and late stages, when he teamed up with Xia Liangchun, he knew that Xia Liangchun's strength was unfathomable. His special swordsmanship was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and he had the strength to challenge opponents of higher levels.
Therefore, he would usually avoid Xia Liangchun, fearing that he might offend this genius. But now, he was poisoned and his life was nearing its end.
Therefore, the idea of killing Xia Liangchun arose in his mind. The reason was nothing more than that the He Shou Wu was priceless and he wanted to keep it for himself.
Moreover, these people's belongings are also a considerable fortune, especially this aged wine. If one could obtain its swordsmanship, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous opportunity.
"Brother Chen, are you alright? Do you need my help?" Eight-Knife Ghost asked tentatively.
After a long while, Xia Liangchun slowly spoke: "I can neutralize this poison without the help of the Eighth Elder."
Xia Liangchun tried to appear calm, but his voice was weak and feeble, like a candle flickering in the wind. His lips trembled slightly, and his face grew increasingly pale.
Eight-Knife Demon carefully examined Xia Liangchun for a moment before turning his gaze back to the ground.
This person is on the verge of death. If we go forward to fight him now, he will probably launch a counterattack before he dies, which would be a loss for us.
Moreover, there was a monstrous beast lurking underground below, watching him intently. He wouldn't feel at ease until he dealt with this beast.
And so, the battlefield fell into a deathly silence. However, a demon beast is a demon beast after all. Soon, it could not hold back and burst out of the ground like an arrow. Its target was the Eight-Sword Demon, which was at a lower position.
"You evil beast, suffer death!"
The Eight-Sword Demon, with a ferocious face as if possessed by a demon, raised his greatsword high and slashed fiercely at the monster. The greatsword instantly transformed into a golden lightning bolt in the air, bursting out with dazzling light.
boom!
When the unicorn python faced the group last time, its defense was like an impenetrable fortress, so it seriously underestimated the strength of the Eight-Sword Demon this time.
The broadsword cleaved a gash in the scales on its back with lightning speed.
After delivering the slash, the Eight-Sword Demon swiftly threw a talisman from his hand, aiming it at the One-Horned Python.
The talisman struck the unicorn python with perfect accuracy, and in an instant, its body burst into flames, resembling a blooming flower of fire.
This is a first-tier, high-grade Flame Talisman, whose power is like a deadly poison to this kind of demonic beast.
However, the unicorn python seemed unwilling to die. With flames all over its body, it opened its mouth like a volcanic eruption and spat out a large plume of purple smoke. At the same time, it lashed out with its tail with tremendous force, hitting the Eight-Knife Ghost who was unable to dodge in time.
The Eight-Sword Demon was swept away like a kite with a broken string by the powerful tail, crashing heavily into a large tree in the distance. The tree instantly broke and fell to the ground like a sapling ravaged by a gale.
Eight-Cut Ghost wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed a ferocious smile. He knew that his mission was accomplished and that the monster was on the verge of death.
Sure enough, after struggling in pain for a moment, the python collapsed to the ground as if its soul had been ripped out, rolling around continuously.
Eight-Cut Demon dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest, his eyes fixed on the monster like those of a hawk.
However, at that moment, he suddenly sensed Xia Liangchun's actions and immediately grabbed his broadsword and slashed behind him like a whirlwind.
Ding!
With flashes of light and clashing sword shadows, Eight-Sword Demon successfully blocked the sneak attack.
Without pausing for a moment, Xia Liangchun charged forward like a hungry tiger, wielding his exquisite magic sword, to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Eight-Sword Demon.
Since the Eight-Sword Demon was determined to take his life, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy.
After spending so many years together, he knew this Eight-Sword Demon inside and out. His strength was comparable to his own, but he was absolutely confident that he could defeat him.
After a dozen or so rounds of fierce fighting, Xia Liangchun's moves suddenly changed, and she began to wield her magic sword and dance like a fairy.
