NOVEL WEB Chapter 31: Most Treasured Possession
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders responded one after another.
"That's right! Our Li family has always been the ruler of the Azure Mountains. We have always been the ones bullying others! Today is truly a great humiliation!"
"This person has such strength at such a young age. He must come from an extraordinary background. There must be many treasures on him!"
The elders were filled with indignation, but soon they calmed down and furrowed their brows.
"Second brother, this person was able to kill the patriarch. We are probably no match for him!"
"Indeed, his strength is formidable, but it should have it's limit!" Li Mingshan sneered, "Besides, we don't need to engage him head-on. I have already given orders to ignite the ‘Purple City Incense' around that abandoned courtyard! And I have informed the other three major families in the Azure Mountain Range to come to our aid!"
"Purple City Incense? It is rumored to be an extremely poisonous substance in the world. Even a Martial Master Realm expert will be poisoned if they stay in its toxic fumes for too long, rendering their entire body weak and unable to move a finger!"
"Purple City Incense is colorless and odorless, and it is hard to guard against. If it really is this incense, that kid, no matter how formidable, will only obediently meet his death!"
"Second brother, where did you get something like this?"
…
The Li family elders showed expressions of surprise.
Li Mingshan stood up from his seat and said, "I obtained it by chance, and I thought I would never have a use for it in my lifetime. But today, it has become our Li family's weapon of death!"
"Considering the time, it should be about right. Let's go! We'll go and see first. If that person truly has no power to resist, we'll take care of it ourselves. We won't need to share the treasures on him with the three major families."
"If he still has some strength left, there's no need to risk our lives fighting him. We'll wait calmly for the experts from the three major families to arrive!"
"Yes!"
The elders nodded one after another and followed Li Mingshan as they headed towards the abandoned courtyard.
…
Inside the courtyard.
Su Zhan was cultivating when a system notification suddenly sounded.
【 Ding! Achievement task ‘First Poisoning' completed. Unlocked new aura: [Protagonist's Poison Immunity Halo]! 】
【 [Protagonist's Poison Immunity Halo]: The Ultimate Poison Shield! Laugh in the face of toxins and scoff at poisons. Who needs an antidote when you're the protagonist? Can anyone even poison you? Impossible! 】
"What the hell is this?" Su Zhan was somewhat astonished. He had unknowingly been poisoned?
Furrowing his brows, he used his truq qi to carefully investigate inside his body and indeed found a trace of toxin.
It was very minimal, but if not removed in a timely manner, it could lead to serious consequences!
With the activation of the Poison Immunity Halo, the toxins were instantly expelled.
This Halo is really useful. But it activates when I get poisoned… I wonder if I can activate an Invincibility Halo if I go and do something reckless? Su Zhan was greatly tempted, but after thinking for a while, he still didn't have the courage to really swing a sword to his own neck.
Ah, forget it! Unlocking a Halo like this is better left to fate!
Turning his head slightly, Su Zhan looked towards Su Zhaoyue.
To his surprise, Su Zhaoyue was also unharmed. From her bracelet, a peculiar light extended and enveloped her body.
"This kind of power… Fish Dragon Realm? Or even higher?" Su Zhan sensed it and was somewhat astonished. It seems that Su Zhaoyue might truly have a mysterious powerful being guiding her…
Seeing that Su Zhaoyue was fine, Su Zhan also felt relieved.
Shortly after, he walked towards the courtyard gate.
If the Li family wants to kill him, then there's no need for him to reason with them!
Just as he walked out of the yard, Su Zhan saw Li Mingshan approaching with a group of elders.
"What's going on? Second brother, didn't you say you used the Purple City Incense?"
"Could it be that he also has an antidote to the Purple City Incense?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The Purple City Incense is extremely rare. How could it be so coincidental?"
The faces of the elders changed as they saw Su Zhan casually walking out, and they all became fearful.
Li Mingshan's face turned grim and he said, "What are you afraid of! I've already checked earlier, the Purple City Incense has been completely burned. He must be poisoned!"
"Perhaps his strength is so great that he still has the energy to come out, but what I can be sure of is that his combat power now is…without a doubt, is less than one-tenth of what it was before!"
"He is now weak like an ant. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Weak like an ant?" An elder hesitated, "But his complexion doesn't seem like it!"
"That's just an act!" Li Mingshan sneered, "I don't believe anyone can be immune to the poison of the Purple City Incense! Don't let him escape!"
Upon hearing Li Mingshan's words, the elders showed hesitation.
"Worthless! It was understandable for you to retreat when he was at his peak. Now that he's heavily poisoned, what are you afraid of?" Li Mingshan scolded them and approached Su Zhan, saying, "Watch how I kill him!"
He said so, but Li Mingshan didn't rush directly at Su Zhan. Instead, he unleashed a flurry of punches from a distance of over thirty meters to test how much strength Su Zhan had left.
"Let's see how long you can keep up this act—"
"Boom!" Su Zhan unleashed Flickering Shadows, his movement technique, crossing dozens of meters in an instant, and his explosive punch struck with tremendous force….
Li Mingshan only had time to show a look of horror before his body was sent flying. Before he even hit the ground, his organs were shattered, and his life force ceased to exist!
Is this what it means to be weak like an ant? Are there really ants this insane???
Su Zhan's punch shattered the psychological defense line of the Li family's elders, and they turned and ran.
"Since you were so determined to come and kill me, there's no need to run now!" The long sword at Su Zhan's waist was unsheathed, and the true qi spewed out.
Flowing Fire Sword Technique.
Su Zhan's figure flickered like an unstoppable flame!
In less than ten seconds, all the elders who had come with Li Mingshan met their demise…
"The Flowing Fire Sword Technique still lacks agility. If it reaches the pinnacle level, one sword strike with Sword Intent can envelop the entire Li Mansion. Why do I need to use so many swords?" Su Zhan murmured to himself as he sheathed his sword.
Returning to the courtyard, he waited for a while, and Su Zhaoyue finally collected all the Dry Blue Ice Flame. As for that mysterious substance, it hovered alone in the air, resembling a blue crystal.
"It truly is a fragment of a celestial star!" As Su Zhan reached out to touch it, he felt the profound energy emanating from it. He was delighted and stored it in his storage ring.
Afterward, the two of them walked out of the courtyard.
Su Zhaoyue glanced outside at the corpses with a hint of shock, then looked at Su Zhan, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"If I don't kill them, they will kill us." Su Zhan understood what she was thinking and said calmly.
"I understand," Su Zhaoyue nodded. Lin Feiyu had already told her about the close call with the poison.
If it weren't for Lin Feiyu, the mysterious powerhouse protecting them, she wouldn't have been able to withstand that strange poison. These people… indeed deserved to die!
…
At this moment, outside the main gate of the Li family.
Three Martial Master Realm experts representing the other three major families of the Azure Mountain Range, led dozens of warriors in the Essence Condensation Realm.
"So, your Chen family has also come? I recall that you and the Li family have a grudge, don't you?"
"That's a personal feud. Today, there are outsiders causing trouble in our Azure Mountain Range, so the nature of the matter is different!"
"Hehe, I see that you've set your sights on the treasures on that kid's body, haven't you? After all, if what the Li family said is true, this person is likely an important figure from some major force who secretly slipped out to gain experience. If we kill him, all three major families can benefit!"
"Hmph! I won't waste time talking with you. Chen family members, follow me!"
…
The three of them exchanged a few brief words and then rushed into the Li family's residence. They impatiently arrived at the desolate courtyard outside the Li family's house.
"Haha, I, Chen Hao, am the first to arrive! Today, I will…" The leader of the Chen family detected a hint of a bloody scent and sensed that something was amiss. When he saw the scattered corpses at the entrance, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse!
As he saw Su Zhan approaching him, Chen Hao's pupils contracted, and he dropped to his knees, taking out a jade pendant from his storage ring. His hands trembled as he raised it above his head with all his strength, his voice hoarse as he shouted: "Today, I will present my Chen family's most treasured possession to you, Lord Su!"
