Chapter 2467: Temptation
The Mermaid Queen's eyes widened in astonishment. The Aurora Poison Dragon was known for his lethal poison. Even though she was some distance away, just catching a whiff of his poison’s faint stench had already robbed her of her strength. She couldn’t even take out her Deep Sea Harp to play some poison-expelling melodies.
She regretted getting so caught up with the Soulfall Bell that she forgot about the Aurora Poison Dragon’s poison prowess. That was how he'd taken down the Dragon Palace’s experts in the first place. Now, Zu An was in danger, being so close to the other party’s poison fog.
While she was panicking, however, Zu An chuckled. “Is this the basis of your confidence?” With a wave of his sleeves, he transported the Mermaid Queen, Peacock Princess, and the others backward, out of range of the poison fog.
Both the Mermaid Queen and the Peacock Princess were delighted to see that Zu An was fine. Indeed, how could someone as formidable as him fall to the Aurora Poison Dragon’s poison?
In truth, Zu An wasn’t as relaxed as he appeared.
The Primordial Origin Sutra had made his constitution impervious to a hundred poisons, but there were far more than a hundred poisons in the Myriad Worlds. His consciousness had started drifting off just by coming into contact with the poison fog, as if he was drunk. It finally dawned on him that the Primordial Origin Sutra didn’t make him immune to poisons; it merely granted him an extremely high resistance against most poisons. The Aurora Poison Dragon’s poison was so formidable that even he, despite his current cultivation, was unable to shrug it off.
On the other hand, the Aurora Poison Dragon was so scared that goosebumps covered his body. He was already channeling his poison as much as he could, and he couldn’t believe that someone could be so unfazed by it. Frightened, he hurriedly tried to retreat and put some distance between him and Zu An, but he was unable to shake off the latter’s iron grip.
“What poison formation did you use? Hand over the antidote!” Zu An eyed him coldly. He had noticed formation flags planted around the Dragon Palace, and each of them emanated bizarre poison energy. He had already destroyed the flags he came across, but there had to be more in the Dragon Palace. Furthermore, destroying the poison formation wouldn’t cure the already poisoned Ocean races’ experts.
“Antidote? The only fate awaiting those who are afflicted with my poisons is death!” the Aurora Poison Dragon sneered. He whipped out a dagger and sliced off his own arm before swiftly retreating from Zu An. He unleashed his true form, transforming into a massive black dragon. He bared his fangs at Zu An. “You are formidable, but you can’t save all of the Ocean races. Watch as everyone dies! Hahaha!”
