Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

"Huh? What's that?"

Lu Qianfan saw Yang Xiao take out a golden fruit, and his movements immediately slowed, a strange look on his face.

But then, he watched as Yang Xiao swallowed the fruit in a single gulp.

His expression changed. "Hmph. Do you think eating some fruit with no Spiritual Qi is going to do anything? Ridiculous!"

With that, Lu Qianfan struck even more ruthlessly.

Although he couldn't sense any purpose from the fruit Yang Xiao had taken out—it didn't even have a trace of Spiritual Qi—the fact that this guy had eaten it clearly meant he believed the fruit could help him defend himself.

In that case, the fruit must be something good.

Such a treasure hadn't fallen into his hands, but was instead swallowed by this guy who didn't have the slightest aura of cultivation. A blaze of fury ignited in Lu Qianfan's heart.

"With this one palm strike, I'll smash you to death! Let's see what good that fruit you swallowed will do you then!"

With that thought.

Originally, he had intended to send Yang Xiao flying with a palm strike, but he changed it to a downward smash.

And Yang Xiao, indeed, did not dodge.

He took the full force of the palm strike right on his head.

However, to the surprise of Lu Qianfan and everyone else, the expected scene of brains splattering everywhere did not occur. Although the immense force slammed Yang Xiao into the ground...

...everyone could see that Yang Xiao was completely unharmed.

"What… what's going on?"

Lu Qianfan's jaw dropped in astonishment.

But just then, Yang Xiao moved.

With a flick of his finger, a Pill shot into Lu Qianfan's mouth.

By the time the man reacted, the Pill had already dissolved in his mouth. He couldn't spit it out even if he wanted to.

"You… what did you make me eat?"

Furious, Lu Qianfan grabbed Yang Xiao by the collar and lifted him up.

Unfortunately for him, Yang Xiao wasn't afraid of him at all.

A mocking smile played on his face as he said, "If you keep thrashing around like that, don't blame me if you end up dead."

As soon as he said that, Lu Qianfan's body stiffened.

He stared at Yang Xiao, his expression conflicted.

But in the end, he put Yang Xiao down.

He couldn't hurt him, and now he had been fed some unknown poison. Although it hadn't taken effect yet, who knew what would happen next?

"I let you go, so you give me the antidote. That's fair, right?"

Lu Qianfan said.

But Yang Xiao just smiled.

"You didn't have to let go of me, really. Because no matter how hard you try, you can't kill me. No, I bet you can't even give me a tiny scratch, can you?"

After saying this, Yang Xiao didn't even spare the man a glance. Instead, he turned around to face the crowd.

"See? I told you he couldn't do anything to me!"

Hearing this, Lu Qianfan's face grew even darker.

As for the Mining Slaves who heard Yang Xiao's words, they erupted in excited cheers.

"Young Master Yang is mighty!"

"Way to go, Young Master Yang!"

"Long live the Young Master!"

"Master, you're amazing! That guy sucks!"

Hearing the shouts of the miners, the fury in Lu Qianfan's heart burned even hotter.

He desperately wanted to tear Yang Xiao limb from limb right then and there.

But he remembered how he had just used nearly all his strength, yet striking that guy felt like hitting empty air.

There wasn't even a ripple on him.

He couldn't hurt the guy at all.

No matter how angry or furious Lu Qianfan was, he didn't dare gamble with his own life.

'It must be that fruit! Dammit, it has to be a treasure from the Ye Family. Otherwise, how could a guy with an unknown background have something so good! Hmph, once the fruit's effect wears off, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!'

Lu Qianfan roared in his mind.

He felt that everything belonging to the Ye Family should be his.

Now that it had fallen into Yang Xiao's hands, it was a complete waste.

With this thought, an idea struck Lu Qianfan, and he looked toward Ye Wanyu.

"Miss Wanyu, do you know what that fruit he just took was?"

Lu Qianfan asked via voice transmission.

At this moment, Ye Wanyu was also completely bewildered.

She didn't recognize the fruit either.

And she couldn't understand why Lu Qianfan's palm strike to his head had done absolutely nothing.

Just moments before, when she saw Lu Qianfan strike, she had felt a little regretful, thinking that killing him so easily would be letting him off too lightly. She had even been about to stop him when she witnessed the incredible scene.

It was... it was simply impossible to describe her current mood.

"What's wrong, Miss Wanyu? Is the fruit very precious?"

Seeing Ye Wanyu's expression and her lack of response, Lu Qianfan grew even angrier.

He was sure the fruit must be exceedingly precious.

That would explain why Ye Wanyu was acting this way.

And really, when you thought about it, how could it have such an effect if it wasn't incredibly precious?

Thinking this, and adding the fact that he had been poisoned by this brat, Lu Qianfan felt like he was about to explode.

However, the most urgent matter was to figure out the fruit's effects.

As long as he knew what the fruit did, he would still have a chance to turn the tables.

So, Lu Qianfan looked at Ye Wanyu expectantly.

He asked her once more.

"Actually, I don't know what it is either."

Ye Wanyu looked a little guilty.

It was because of her that Lu Qianfan had been fed poison by that despicable Yang Xiao, and now she couldn't even help him.

Naturally, she felt a pang of guilt.

But Lu Qianfan misunderstood.

He thought that Ye Wanyu was unwilling to tell him.

'This bitch. She won't even tell me the fruit's effects. It seems it really is precious. And she probably has one on her, too. Hmph, since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm about to do.'

Lu Qianfan thought to himself.

But his gaze returned to Yang Xiao.

He sized him up and down.

"What? You still thinking of trying something?"

Yang Xiao smiled faintly.

Lu Qianfan's face darkened again, but thinking of the poison in his body, he finally spoke: "What do you want in exchange for the antidote?"

"It's simple. Kill Ye Wanyu for me. As long as you kill her, I will definitely give you the antidote. Of course, you can try to find another way first. Maybe you can find someone else to cure the poison, who knows? By the way, this poison is called the Thousand Days Undying Pill. As long as I don't intervene, you can remain poisoned for a thousand days without dying. However, every day at noon, your entire body will feel the excruciating pain of being devoured by ten thousand ants. That's why it's also called the Ten Thousand Ants Heart Devouring Pill."

Yang Xiao said nonchalantly.

The moment he said this, Ye Wanqing's expression trembled.

She wanted to speak.

But she saw Yang Xiao shake his head at her.

Thinking back on her younger sister's earlier actions, Ye Wanqing ultimately remained silent.

She just stared at Lu Qianfan.

If that man truly dared to lay a hand on her sister, Ye Wanqing would kill him first, even if it meant using a Secret Technique.

Ye Wanyu's expression was also ugly.

But this time, for once, she didn't look at Yang Xiao. Instead, her eyes were fixed on Lu Qianfan.

It seemed she also wanted to see what he would do under Yang Xiao's threat.

Being stared at by two identical beauties would normally have made Lu Qianfan feel very smug.

But now…

...his expression changed several times.

He was hesitating.

To kill or not to kill?

At this moment, Lu Qianfan found it hard to make a decision.
