Chapter 568 - 564
By the time the Five Poison True Qi had dissipated, not a single living creature could be seen in the area it had enveloped; there wasn’t even a body left, just puddles of blood covering the ground, emitting a stench so foul that it made one shiver uncontrollably.
Some martial artists, who had managed to dodge in time, looked on in terror. They no longer possessed the courage to advance, not even the courage to confront Lu Tianxing.
"Boy, it seems I underestimated you."
Liu Ang, appearing from nowhere, looked at Lu Tianxing with a grim expression. The broken blade he was holding, however, betrayed an undeniable fear. He realized that opposing Lu Tianxing might have been the biggest mistake of his life, but now the arrow was on the bowstring and he had no choice but to shoot.
"Elder Liu, it’s all up to you this time. We must not let him leave here alive, no matter what," said the broken blade, trembling with fear. He could only pin all his hopes on Liu Ang now.
"Young Master, rest assured, he won’t escape."
Liu Ang’s gaze, cold and ruthless, flickered as he watched Lu Tianxing, who was still at the Peak of the Heavenly Level, not yet a match for his own Mid-stage Mythical prowess. If Lu Tianxing was allowed to eventually enter the Mythical Realm and greatly increase his strength, Liu Ang feared he might end up killed by Lu Tianxing’s hands.
Lu Tianxing could not be spared under any circumstances; he had to ensure that Lu Tianxing stayed here today, even if it meant killing him. A genius was far more terrifying than a strong opponent because a genius possessed the capacity for limitless growth.
"Kill me? Let’s see if you have the strength," retorted Lu Tianxing, his eyes suddenly turning frosty. The ground exploded as he soared into the sky, reached out his hand, and the Iron Blood Battle Halberd appeared, instantly slashing towards Liu Ang.
"Body of the Five Poisons."
Liu Ang’s True Qi surged, and astonishingly, a thick layer of armor condensed around his body. This armor, black as ink, flowed continuously like water, emitting a strong fishy smell laced with traces of potent poison.
