Chapter 536 Poison Sword, Poison Array
Proofreader: @vongola10
The traces of Qi in the air were like bees guiding the way, bringing Su Yun deeper into the Suicide Valley.
The seven Devil Bone Giants swept the way they came like a mountain. The people of Suicide Valley only looked at this aura and didn’t dare to fight it anymore, so no one dared to stop Su Yun.
The giant trampled through several cultivation pavilions and smashed the ancient tree in front of him. He then walked straight towards a narrow path that was filled with a dark green colour.
However, after a few steps, a clear voice drifted out from within the canyon.
“Stop.”
The voice wasn’t loud, but it was clear and bright, giving off a refreshing feeling. Su Yun opened his bloodshot eyes and looked towards the source of the voice.
A handsome man wearing a green robe appeared from the valley. He wasn’t very tall, but his face was somewhat long. He had a pigtail on his back, making him look rather carefree. He held a sword and walked towards Su Yun.
On one side was the Devil Bone Giants with its astonishing momentum, and on the other was lone Spirit Cultivator. Just from the scene, it was already decided who would win, but Su Yun discovered that the other side’s momentum was not inferior to the seven Devil Bone Giants.
“Master has ordered to stop you here.” The man raised his sword and shouted loudly.
“Don’t you want to kill me?” Su Yun asked.
However, he shook his head and said, “I can’t kill you. I understand this, so I chose to stop you and buy some time for Master.” After speaking that, he pointed his sword at Su Yun, as if he was ready to attack at any moment.
Su Yun hearing what he said, his eyebrows couldn’t help but constrict.
“Earlier, that man called Tu Hou also wanted to stall me and buy some time for the Suicide Witch. Later, Qiao Gong fought with me to buy time for her, and now, you have to buy some time for her. So, what is she doing now? Is she really healing herself? Or is she doing some sort of ritual against me right now? Has she found a way to deal with me?” Su Yun said coldly.
However, that person did not answer Su Yun. Instead, he directly raised the emerald green poisonous sword and rushed towards Su Yun.
Su Yun stood where he was and watched silently as the man rushed over.
When he was not using it, the light was visible but not real, and there was something fake about it. But it was different now, and his aura started to grow, and it was also extremely quick, and it crazily increased in an unimaginable speed. When he got closer and closer to Su Yun, the aura grew stronger and stronger, and finally, the so-called false name became real.
Such momentum!
The inside of this light sword was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
However, just as the sword was about to pierce into Su Yun’s heart, Su Yun’s body suddenly disappeared.
That person’s face froze. He suddenly looked up and saw a large number of huge bone fists coming from all directions.
“Forest Poison Array!” That person hurriedly shouted, and a large amount of dark green snakes appeared from his body. These snakes immediately wrapped around his body, and when the iron fists came crashing down, the front of the fists all landed on these snakes, while those inside were completely unharmed.
After the fists left, the python also slowly retreated, and that person’s appearance once again appeared in Su Yun’s line of sight. However, at this moment, Su Yun already stood at the end of the Dark Green Valley and was looking at that person.
“What speed!”
That person couldn’t help but praise Su Yun when he saw how far away he was. That attack just now also missed because of Su Yun’s speed.
“My name is Mu Zidu, I am the eldest disciple of the Valley Master, and the Valley Master is proficient in a thousand weapons and ten thousand techniques in her life. As for her most famous sword, it is two swords, one is the Suicide Sword, the other is the Poison Sword, and I am the successor of this Poison Sword. Lord, I think you are also good at wielding your sword. Why don’t you spar with me?” Mu Zidu said.
In the next second, he saw Su Yun suddenly turn his head and charge into the depths of Suicide Valley, paying no more attention to him.
Su Yun was here to kill the Suicide Witch, not to spar with him. What’s more, he had already said that he wanted to stall for Su Yun’s time, so why would Su Yun waste time with him?
However, from his performance in front of Su Yun, he didn’t seem to have a much higher IQ than Qiao Gong.
However, to be able to be a top disciple, Mu Zidu should be able to use a bit of poison. Perhaps, there was something fishy going on here as well!
‘Forget it.’
Su Yun’s face darkened. He pushed his speed to the limit and gave the Devil Bone Giants an order. After he dealt with Mu Zidu, he rushed over to help him.
However. After a few seconds of flying, another long green valley appeared in front of Su Yun.
Clutching onto the death sword tightly, he stared at the valley with a cold expression. Looking around, he was surprised to find that this valley was exactly the same as the valley before.
‘What was going on? Exactly the same? Was this the same place as before? But why didn’t he see the Devil Bone Giant?’
"I said that I will buy time for Master and stall you! If you think I got rid of it so easily, then you’re wrong! " A voice came from the depths of the valley.
Su Yun looked over and saw that the person who had just spoken was Mu Zidu.
At this moment, it was no doubt that Su Yun was powerful. Under the situation of full speed, Mu Zidu definitely wouldn’t be able to keep up with Su Yun, so how did he get here?
Could there be a secret passage that connected the valley? But if there was a secret passageway, what was the point of building it?
What’s more, if Mu Zidu had escaped or died, the Devil Bone Giants should have sent him a message. Why wasn’t there any movement at all?
Su Yun’s face sank, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Mu Zidu. He didn’t say anything else, but just raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards Su Yun. That dark green sword was like a poisonous snake that opened its mouth, making people feel terrified.
“I won’t be polite to you, Mu Zidu, whether you’re a real Mu Zidu or a charlatan.”
Su Yun secretly snorted, he moved like the wind, and with astonishing speed, he brushed past Mu Zidu. When he got close to him, he slashed out one thousand two hundred and eighty-one times with his long sword, slicing Mu Zidu into thousands of pieces. By the time Su Yun charged deep into the valley, the body of Mu Zidu had already split into pieces, and pieces of meat fell from the sky.
Seeing this, Su Yun turned around and walked towards the valley, leaving.
He attempted to recall the Devil Bone Giants, but the Devil Bone Giants were still in battle.
‘Could it be that they were still fighting against Mu Zidu? In other words, the Mu Zidu that he had just killed was a fake one? Perhaps even the one who Devil Bone Giants Fighting with was a fake! What was going on? Could it be an illusion technique?’
Su Yun was slightly startled as he focused on his thoughts. However, right at this moment, the scene before him caused him to be shocked once again.
Just by looking at the entrance to the valley, one could see that it was empty. And on the opposite side of the empty land, there appeared another long, dark green valley, again!
The evil qi around Su Yun’s body began to move restlessly. With a cold face, he walked forward. After a few steps, as expected, a voice floated over from the depths of the valley.
“Perhaps you have endless questions in your heart, but I will not answer them for you. Right now, I am fulfilling my duty. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me!”
This clear and loud voice was from Mu Zidu. Seeing him appear again, Su Yun’s expression turned malevolent, “You used an illusion technique on me?”
“No, no, no. This is not an illusion technique. Milord, please don’t insult Zidu, and even more so, don’t insult yourself. How can a low-rank profound skill like an illusion technique appear between you and me?” Mu Zidu said softly.
“Then what exactly is this?” Su Yun picked up his sword and flew towards Mu Zidu bit by bit. However, he saw Mu Zidui raise the poison sword in his hand, and with a slight wave of his hand, a light and playful expression appeared on his long face.
“This is poison technique! It was also a poison array! It was designed specifically for important figures like you!”
“Poison array?” Su Yun’s heart sank.
“In truth, everything you see is not an illusion, and it is real. However, the few I saw earlier were really fake me. They were poisonous puppets that used my own power to create. Their goal was to stack poison for you!”
Mu Zidu smiled faintly, “Lord, please take a look at your wrist!”
When Su Yun heard this, he immediately raised his wrist and looked over. He only saw three circular snake marks on his wrist! These snake marks were incredibly thin, and it was unknown when they appeared.
Su Yun stared at the circles of snake mark, turned his head and coldly stared at Mu Zidu, and said in a deep voice, “Could it be that your three puppets are the structure of this poison array?”
“That’s right.” Mu Zidu nodded seriously, “When you kill them or use profound energy in front of them, the poison source in their bodies will automatically operate, imperceptibly add a layer of snake mark circle on you. Now that you have been struck by three layers, as long as I can explode this poison, even if you don’t die, you will at least be seriously injured!”
“Then why didn’t you explode the poison and kill me?” Su Yun asked.
“Didn’t I tell you before? I only came here to stall for time for my master, not to mention that this poison won’t kill you. As long as you don’t die, I still have a chance to lose, so I chose to rely on this poison to control you. It’s better than killing you, anyways, I have successfully completed my task.” Mu Zidu said, but his expression didn’t change.
When Su Yun heard that he took a deep breath, looked around, and then said, “Then, is there an antidote for this poison?”
“Yes, but I won’t give it to you.”
“If I give you something in exchange, would you be willing to give me the antidote?” Su Yun asked.
When Mu Zidu heard this, he rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before replying, “That depends on what it is. If I’m interested, I’m not allowed to think about it!”
“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be interested.”
“What’s that?”
“Your life.”
Su Yun said calmly.
