Chapter 139 Lao Liu
Tatata!
At the west gate of the imperial capital, a grey figure hurried out of the city, but a hundred meters after rushing out of the city gate, he saw a handsome young man in white clothes looking at him indifferently.

Looking at the young man in front of him who looked very young but had the same ordinary aura as an ordinary person, the man in gray robe felt something was wrong for some reason.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the young man was somewhat similar to Xiao Yan, who had defeated him in the previous conference!

"You are from the Izumo Empire, right? I have something to ask you. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I can let you go."

Xiao Yuan's voice was calm, but it revealed a firmness that brooked no room for argument.

"Where did you come from, you little brat? How dare you stop me here? You're looking for death!"

The man in gray robe guessed that the handsome young man in white in front of him was most likely related to Xiao Yan by blood, so he naturally thought that Xiao Yuan's strength could not pose a threat to him. He then frowned and sneered.

"wrong answer."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's voice sounded stiff and cold. The next moment, his figure floated out like willow catkins. The black mysterious ice dragon was condensed almost in an instant, making a loud dragon roar and rushing towards the gray-robed man.

"A powerful Douling spirit!?"

Feeling the breath fluctuations that Xiao Yuan burst out in an instant, the gray-robed man shouted in shock.

Judging from the age of the young man in white in front of him, he is not even twenty years old, but he has already reached the Dou Ling level?
how can that be!

However, the gray-robed man was shocked but not afraid.

As a fourth-grade alchemist who is immersed in alchemy and poison techniques, his combat power is also stronger than those of the same level.

And his own strength is also at the level of an eight-star Dou Ling!
But because he also has the identity of a poison master, even the most powerful Dou Ling masters are unwilling to be his enemy.

What's more, as an alchemist, he also possesses beast fire, and his fire-attributed fighting spirit just happens to restrain Xiao Yuan's ice-attributed fighting spirit.

It seems that the advantage is on me!
Thinking of this, the gray-robed man quickly regained his composure. A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and with a surge of fighting spirit, he actually rushed directly towards the giant black ice dragon.

Although the Black Ice Dragon Soaring that Xiao Yuan displayed at this moment was not as majestic as the one displayed by Hai Bodong, its power could not be underestimated.

The man in gray robe had no idea what kind of genius he was facing!
"Break it for me!"

As if he felt that he was very cool, the man in gray robe shouted loudly and punched the dragon head.

The black flames condensed into a pointed cone in his hand, which kept spinning. His whole body was wrapped in a set of fighting spirit armor with faint light on it, which was obviously poisonous. Looking at the fighting spirit fluctuations emerging on the tip of his fist, it was actually a high-level Xuan-level fighting skill!

As expected, the gray-robed man defeated Xiao Yuan despite his good level and fighting skills. With a crisp cracking sound, dense cracks began to appear on the top of the black ice dragon's head and spread all over the body. Through the cracks, one could actually see black flames pouring out of them!

Seeing this, the man in gray robe immediately revealed a hint of pride, and then opened his mouth to speak, but saw that Xiao Yuan's expression did not change at all. Instead, he slowly changed the seal in his hand.

The next moment, the giant black ice dragon below opened its mouth, and a black and white flame bead was ejected. The black flame that had been raging in the body of the giant black ice dragon was directly absorbed by it like a whale the moment the black and white flame appeared.

After seeing the black and white flames, the gray-robed man's pupils suddenly shrank. He recognized it at a glance. This was the second kind of strange fire that Xiao Yan summoned when he was refining medicine!

It turns out that this strange fire belongs to this guy!
Then, he saw that the black and white flame bead was contracting and expanding violently, just like a beating heart.

Looking at the black and white fire bead that was obviously in an unstable state, the gray-robed man suddenly became alert and used his fighting skills on the spot, condensing a flaming shield in front of him.

Sure enough, the fire bead exploded immediately afterwards, and a terrifying fire storm swept towards the gray-robed man.

Under the terrifying high temperature of the strange fire, even the black flame shield could not withstand it and exploded on the spot. At this moment, a strange gray-black light suddenly flew out from the black and white flames and shot directly at the gray-robed man.

The gray-robed man, who had not expected this, had to quickly condense his fighting spirit in an attempt to resist this sudden attack. However, the strange gray-black light actually merged into it the moment it came into contact with the gray-robed man's fighting spirit!

The next moment, the gray-robed man's face changed drastically. Looking at the gray-black light that rushed up along the blood vessels and meridians in his arm, and sensing that the gray-black light was actually a poison, the gray-robed man was suddenly shocked and was about to use his fighting spirit to block the blood vessels and meridians.

However, the poison was actually directly integrated into the Dou Qi, and spread throughout his body the moment he practiced.

Immediately afterwards, a strong feeling of weakness and powerlessness emerged.

The gray-robed man's expression also turned extremely ugly.

As a poison master, he was actually poisoned?
damn it!
The man in gray robe didn't care about the frustration and resentment in his heart, nor did he care about Xiao Yuan who was eyeing him covetously. He hurriedly took out a bottle of detoxification pills from his storage ring and poured them all into his mouth like beans. He didn't even have time to chew and swallowed them all.

However, the bad thing was that all his detoxification pills were ineffective!

A feeling of panic surged in his heart, and the man in gray robe took out various bottles and jars, which should be antidotes for many poisons.

But after taking the medicine indiscriminately, his physical condition not only did not improve, but became worse.

The first thing he sensed was that the Dou crystal in his lower abdomen was gradually turning black, and its strong corrosiveness turned his internal organs into black.

What was even more terrifying was that the detoxification pills he took contained some ideas of using poison to fight poison. At this moment, those poisonous herbs were being aggregated together by the gray-black poison, and their toxicity became even more severe.

When his internal organs began to corrode and rot, the man in gray finally roared in pain.

"What kind of poison is this!"

Obviously, if he doesn't get to the bottom of it, he will die with regrets.

Xiao Yuan did not approach him, fearing that he might counterattack before his death. He smiled faintly and said, "It's just a little bit of poison, but with your strength, you should not be able to withstand this mutated poison."

After hearing the word "poison", the gray-robed man's pupils shrank and he immediately felt hopeless!

You know, even Nalan Jie was able to suppress it for many years because he relied on his strong fighting spirit and the branding poison had not mutated.

But now the branding poison had not only mutated in Nalan Jie's body and acquired the property of devouring fighting spirit, but was also burned by Xiao Yuan's strange fire and mixed and refined using some methods of preparing simple poisons that Xiao Yixian taught him when they lived together in the valley. It had already mutated to the point that even Xiao Yuan couldn't tell how terrifying it was.

According to Xiao Yuan's estimation, even if it was Nalan Jie, if he encountered such a poison again, he would probably not be able to suppress it for so many years.

This gray-robed man is only at the Dou Ling level, so naturally he does not have the powerful Dou Qi of a Dou Wang strongman, so it is impossible for him to withstand the erosion of this mutated poison.

"You have three minutes to struggle now. If you can answer my questions, I can still save your life. So, listen carefully. I ask questions and you answer them. Just nod or shake your head." Xiao Yuan said calmly and calmly.

Hearing this, the man in gray robe naturally didn't want to die, and nodded with all his strength.

"Okay, it looks like we have reached a consensus."

Xiao Yuan was still calm and unhurried, but the man in gray robe was getting extremely anxious.

If this continues, he will die before Xiao Yuan even asks.

"Has a female poison master appeared in your Izumo Empire recently? Her training speed is extremely fast, and her use of poison is extremely tricky."

Immediately afterwards, he heard Xiao Yuan's question and nodded immediately without even thinking.

As for why Xiao Yuan asked this, that was not something he should consider at all.

He just needs to nod and shake his head and save his life first. As for other things, don't think too much about it!

As for why he believed Xiao Yuan's words, it was naturally because, as a poison master, the gray-robed man knew the horror of the branding poison, but he also knew that the strange fire could expel the branding poison.

As a rare wonder of heaven and earth, the magic of the Strange Fire is well-known throughout the Douqi Continent. Ordinary poisons are no match for the Strange Fire. If the person who possesses the Strange Fire is also powerful, even a destructive existence like the so-called Evil Poison Body cannot hurt the person protected by the Strange Fire.

What's more, this poison was obviously stored by Xiao Yuan using the strange fire before, so the strange fire should be effective.

However, the gray-robed man, whose mind was already in a mess, did not expect that his internal organs, which had been gradually rotting, could no longer withstand the burning of the strange fire!

If Xiao Yuan really injected strange fire to drive out the poison, I'm afraid it would make him die faster!
"So how is she now? If she's good, nod. If she's bad, just..."

Before Xiao Yuan could finish his words, the man in gray robe nodded quickly.

How could the poison girl be in such a bad state? I wonder how many powerful poison masters were poisoned to death by her!
Even I was wary of that poison girl. Before coming to the Gama Empire, that poison girl had already broken through to the Dou Ling level. Such a terrifying talent for cultivation made many people feel terrified!

Come to think of it, this kid in front of me seems to be also good at it. How come he is a great fighting master?

When the gray-robed man sensed that Xiao Yuan was only at the level of a three-star Grand Master, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

How could such a great Dou Master be able to unleash a Douling-level attack? And he even poisoned his own eight-star Douling?

What are these!

A lot of thoughts surged in his mind, and after a moment, he suddenly woke up. Why didn't the young man in white ask?
He raised his head quickly, but he couldn't see anything. There seemed to be liquid and paste slowly flowing down his face.

Before he could think about what was flowing out of his eye sockets, a flame fell on his back.

Then, black and white flames spread out, and after a crackling sound, the gray-robed man, who was unable to make any sound because his vocal cords had long been decayed, disappeared between heaven and earth.

"You idiot, you really thought I would save him."

From a distance, Xiao Yuan glanced at the gray-robed man who had turned into ashes and sneered.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and used his soul power to pick up the ring on the ground. Then he turned and left. As he walked, he used his soul power to erase the soul mark on the ring.

Shortly after Xiao Yuan left, the ashes suddenly scattered as if blown by the wind, and an extremely illusory figure emerged.

"Damn it! Fortunately, the strange fire and branding poison did not cause too much damage to my soul, otherwise I would be dead today!"

The illusory man in black robe was actually the man in gray robe!
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, a white flame burst out from under his feet. He was not unfamiliar with this flame. It was the strange fire that Xiao Yan summoned when he was refining the medicine for the last time!
It turns out that this kid actually possesses two kinds of strange fire?
The next moment, a look of pain emerged on the gray-robed man's illusory face. He now clearly felt that a burst of extreme heat would instantly turn into extreme cold. The feeling of ice and fire was really unbearable!

This bone spirit cold fire has greater damage to the soul body than ordinary strange fire!

Maybe he could hide this trick from Xiao Yuan, but it is impossible to hide it from Yao Lao!
Even when Yao Lao made a move secretly, he was totally unaware!

Of course, this is normal. With Yao Lao's strength, if his attack could be sensed by such a small fry, it would be a huge loss of face for Yao Zun!
"What a bunch of rubbish. He doesn't want to be a good alchemist, but wants to combine alchemy with poison master. Is this person crazy?"

On the way back to the city, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but curse.

He looked through the contents of the ring.

Apart from some prescriptions that the old medicine man scoffed at, there were actually some experimental research materials on the combination of alchemists and poison masters, which were completely useless.

As for the bottles and jars in the ring, most of them are poisons.

Fortunately, there are still some medicinal herbs in it, which Xiao Yuan can use for his cultivation.

"Teacher, did you do something just now?"

After transferring the useful things into his storage ring, Xiao Yuan suddenly asked.

"Hmm? You found out?"

Yao Lao was quite surprised when he heard this.

"Well, although it was only for a moment, the teacher should have used the strange fire, right? I have some vague sense of it."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile after hearing this.

"Haha, that's right. After all, it's on your hand. I'm not surprised that you can detect the movement of the ring with your soul power."

Yao Lao smiled when he heard this, and his tone clearly showed that he was satisfied with Xiao Yuan's vigilance.

"Haha, now that everything is done, it's time to go back and celebrate with Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard that, and immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the Royal Square in the city.
