Chapter 695: The Gu Master’s Deadly Poison
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The Gu Master stared at Bai Zihan in disbelief."How did you know?"
His voice was filled with genuine shock.
Even the ancient monsters of the Central Glorious Continent would have difficulty recognizing their techniques.
After all, Gu Masters had always been extremely secretive, and it had been many years since they had made a big move.
They rarely revealed their identities and concealed their techniques even more carefully.
Yet in a place like the Eastern Continent, someone had actually recognized his methods at a glance.
The Gu Master’s eyes gradually became filled with caution.
He had to capture Bai Zihan.
As long as he captured him alive, he could force him to reveal how he had recognized the technique.
Otherwise, he would never be able to understand how someone like Bai Zihan had seen through him.
However, before he could make another move, Bai Zihan suddenly began speaking.
"Gu Masters really are as pathetic as I imagined. You hide behind corpses because you don’t have the courage to fight anyone yourself."
"You don’t cultivate your own strength. You hide behind dead bodies and let them fight for you."
He glanced at the two Golden Immortal corpses battling Bai Ren and the three Earth Immortals.
"Bullying the weak. Attacking in groups. Using corpses to compensate for your own pathetic self."
Bai Zihan chuckled.
"Is that all you people know how to do?"
The Gu Master’s face twitched violently.
Bai Zihan didn’t stop.
"If you like corpses so much, why don’t you become one yourself? At least then, you’ll finally be useful."
"Perhaps someone might even be willing to refine your corpse."
The Gu Master’s expression became hideous.
Bai Zihan looked him up and down.
"Although your corpse probably wouldn’t be worth much. Your cultivation isn’t impressive, your strength isn’t impressive, and your techniques are nothing special."
"Even after becoming a corpse, you’d probably still be useless. How pathetic!"
Every word was an insult.
Every sentence struck directly at his pride.
The Gu Master’s face twitched violently.
His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
"Y-YOU!"
His entire body trembled with rage.
He had never imagined that someone could insult him so thoroughly.
If anger could kill, Bai Zihan would have already died countless times.
Those insults had all come from Empress Feilian.
Bai Zihan had merely repeated them.
Bai Zihan couldn’t help feeling impressed.
He had never imagined that the elegant and dignified Immortal Emperor who had once ruled over countless cultivators could actually hurl insults like this.
He silently gave her a thumbs-up.
With age truly came wisdom.
Her way of insulting people was simply too good.
Compared to her, he still had a long way to go.
Meanwhile, the Gu Master’s face had already turned completely red.
He had originally intended to capture Bai Zihan alive.
Now, that thought has completely disappeared.
There was only one thought left in his mind.
Kill him!
"I’ll kill you!"
Boom!
His Golden Immortal aura erupted once again.
His killing intent surged like a storm.
The Gu Master charged toward Bai Zihan with terrifying momentum.
This time, he no longer cared about capturing Bai Zihan alive.
He was determined to tear this arrogant brat apart!
The Gu Master charged forward.
Bai Zihan’s eyes narrowed. He took out his sword.
Clang!
A dazzling sword light flashed through the chamber.
Slash!
The Gu Master narrowly dodged the first strike, but another sword slash immediately followed.
And then another.
The sword lights tore through the air one after another, forcing the Gu Master to retreat.
His expression gradually became more serious.
At first, he had believed that killing Bai Zihan would be easy.
After all, Bai Zihan’s cultivation was only at the Peak Immortal Ascension Realm.
But after exchanging several blows, he realized that he had been completely wrong.
Bai Zihan was far more difficult to deal with than he had expected.
In fact, Bai Zihan’s current combat strength was even greater than that of an ordinary Earth Immortal.
For a Golden Immortal like him, killing an Earth Immortal should not have been difficult.
Yet Bai Zihan was clearly not an ordinary Earth Immortal-level opponent despite his Immortal Ascension cultivation.
And that sword...
The Gu Master’s expression became increasingly ugly.
Every time Bai Zihan’s sword struck him, it left behind a terrifying wound.
The sword itself seemed extraordinarily sharp.
Even his Golden Immortal body was unable to completely withstand its edge.
The more they fought, the more shocked the Gu Master became.
Bai Zihan’s strength was completely beyond his expectations.
"Before I kill you..."
Bai Zihan suddenly spoke while swinging his sword.
"How about you tell me something about your so-called Lord?"
The Gu Master’s expression darkened.
"Arrogant!"
Boom!
His Golden Immortal aura erupted once again as he attacked Bai Zihan.
Bai Zihan’s expression remained calm.
"Since you don’t want to talk..."
His sword suddenly changed direction.
"Then I’ll beat the answer out of you."
"Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword!"
Whoosh!
The sword light suddenly divided.
Nine figures appeared around the Gu Master.
Each figure held a sword.
The nine figures simultaneously attacked.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Sword lights erupted from every direction.
The Gu Master desperately defended himself, but the attacks came too quickly.
Slash!
A sword struck his shoulder.
Bang!
Another slammed into his chest.
Bang!
A third struck his back.
The nine shadows surrounded him completely, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks.
The Gu Master was beaten from one side to another.
His previously arrogant appearance disappeared completely.
Blood sprayed from his mouth.
His body was covered in wounds.
Finally—
Boom!
A powerful sword strike sent him crashing into the ground.
Bai Zihan stood calmly before him.
His sword remained pointed toward the Gu Master.
"Feels like talking now?"
The Gu Master slowly rose from the ground.
Blood stained the corner of his mouth.
His expression was no longer arrogant. Instead, there was a trace of solemnity.
"Bai Zihan..."
He wiped away the blood.
"You’ve earned this."
His eyes became cold.
"The Lord ordered me never to use this unless absolutely necessary. But since you’ve already recognized our techniques..."
A sinister smile appeared on his face.
"I won’t be holding back anymore!"
The moment his voice fell—
Boom!
A strange aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Dark-green mist began spreading outward.
The moment the poisonous mist touched the ground—
Hiss!
The ground immediately began corroding.
Even the surrounding rocks couldn’t withstand it.
They rapidly melted away, releasing a pungent and terrifying smell.
Bai Zihan’s expression became solemn.
The poison was extremely dangerous.
Even the slightest contact could cause the body to rapidly corrode.
Bai Zihan immediately turned his head.
"Bai Ren! Take Xueqing and Senior Qinglan and get out of here!"
Bai Ren’s expression changed.
"But what about you?"
Bai Zihan’s gaze remained fixed on the Gu Master.
"Hmph! I can’t let him escape."
Bai Ren hesitated for a moment.
Then he gritted his teeth.
"Let’s go!"
The three Earth Immortals immediately moved toward Bai Xueqing and Qinglan.
At the same time, the two Golden Immortal corpses continued fighting.
The Gu Master didn’t order them to stop.
He couldn’t afford to.
Bai Xueqing was still the person the Lord wanted.
If she died here, he would have to face severe punishment worse than death.
Moreover, he still intended to capture Bai Zihan alive.
To accomplish that, he needed the two refined corpses to keep Bai Ren and the others occupied.
"Keke..."
The Gu Master looked at Bai Zihan through the poisonous mist.
"You really are confident. But..."
His smile became increasingly sinister.
"Do you really think my poison is something you can withstand?"
The Gu Master had no intention of killing Bai Zihan.
At least, not yet.
He wanted Bai Zihan alive. But before that, he wanted him to suffer.
He wanted to see this arrogant expression disappear.
He wanted to hear Bai Zihan scream in pain and beg for mercy. Only then would he feel satisfied.
As for Bai Xueqing...
He would capture her eventually.
But right now, Bai Zihan was his priority.
Meanwhile, Bai Ren and the three Earth Immortals had already reached Bai Xueqing and Qinglan.
The moment they broke their restraints, Bai Xueqing’s eyes brightened.
"Grand Elder!"
"Xueqing’er!"
Bai Ren immediately helped Qinglan up.
"Let’s leave!"
They didn’t waste any time.
With the situation changing rapidly, remaining here was too dangerous for someone like Qinglan and Bai Xueqing.
Even Bai Ren felt a bit of threat from the poison.
He didn’t know what Bai Zihan had up his sleeve to be confident to stay behind. Anyways, he decided to trust him once again.
Bai Xueqing also looked at Bai Zihan with complex emotion but knew that there was nothing she could do to help.
If anything happens to him, then she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. Though seeing his arrogant self, she felt that she shouldn’t worry too much.
The three Earth Immortals immediately surrounded Bai Xueqing and Qinglan, protecting them as they retreated.
Soon, Bai Ren and the others disappeared from the chamber.
The Gu Master didn’t care.
His attention was entirely focused on Bai Zihan.
"Keke..."
He smiled sinisterly.
"Now it’s just you and me."
