Chapter 1125 - 44: Poison Assault

The [Red Sleep Demon], an A-level Spiritual ability.

Within the Transcendent Genealogy Map recorded by the Security Committee, every Transcendent who awakens the [Red Sleep Demon] ability must be strictly controlled...

Because this Extraordinary Ability affects the temperament of the Transcendent to some extent.

For instance, Mu Qingyang, who has awakened the [green fire], the more he cultivates, the more his image aligns with the positive traits inherent in [green fire], whereas the domain of the [Red Sleep Demon] is somewhat dark and eerie, and Awakeners often fall into nightmares even at the initial stages.

Their rate of mental instability is very high.

However, the high risk comes with high rewards... Those who successfully break free from their nightmares can possess a powerful spiritual combat ability early on, but as time goes on, the nightmares brought by the [Red Sleep Demon] only grow stronger!

The "Poison Ghost," ranked nineteenth on the high-risk list, is actually a law enforcement officer from the remote area of Jiangbei, who lost mental control due to an inability to suppress increasingly powerful nightmares, went on a rampage during a mission, killing all four of his companions, and was then documented by the Changye authorities... For a long time, his pursuers could not find any trace of the Poison Ghost, until he was finally captured in the Jiuning District, with the operation led by Zhu Wang stationed at the Changye Court.

By the time of his capture, the Poison Ghost had already murdered nearly a hundred innocent sufferers.

It is said that his "sealed item" was a snuff bottle, but the Judgement Institute never found it... This guy was particularly tight-lipped, and since he was ultimately going to be sent to lifetime imprisonment at [Snow Cage], the whereabouts of the snuff bottle became irrelevant.

And now, this snuff bottle has reappeared on the Tundra, confirming that the Poison Ghost’s refusal to reveal the location of the sealed item back then was precisely for future escape plans.

...

...

The Red Sea shrouds the area.

This Blood-colored Fog Sea is filled with the toxins of the [Red Sleep Demon], and with the augmentation of the snuff bottle, this domain becomes extremely dangerous. High-level Transcendents can still resist, but for those low-level Transcendents who lack adequate boundaries, it’s simply a nightmare! Once contaminated, they will be severely injured!

And the Red Sea spread serves both as an attack and a cover—

The Poison Ghost sits cross-legged on a snowy slope not far away, taking advantage of the terrain, overseeing the entire camp scene... An ancient snuff bottle sits in front of his knees.

Countless toxic mists spew from the narrow mouth of the bottle.

"Heh heh."

He couldn’t help but let out a smile.

The situation is entirely in his favor, standing atop the high ground, viewing the entire panorama, without even needing Boss Yuan to make a move, just his own toxic mist is enough to break the camp ahead!

Currently, in the camp, there is only one fourth-level Spiritual expert!

He saw through the depth of his opponent at a glance, having entered the fourth level for less than a year, with somewhat unstable spiritual power, probably ninety percent a healing-type Transcendent... With such strength, they think they can fight him?

The toxic mist has already spread, within less than half a quarter of an hour, he will have them captured!

These Transcendents, although they prepared "Strong Logic Weapons", the Poison Ghost simply won’t give them the chance to use them, once his toxic mist breaks the camp defenses, the battle could be declared over right then...

All the Transcendents in this camp will be poisoned to death!

Just as the Poison Ghost was confidently preparing to reap his victory, a streak of Blazing Flame suddenly exploded in the air above the Red Sea.

"Again?"

He frowned.

Earlier, such a streak of Blazing Flame had exploded once before!

At that time, it directly exposed their position... Without this warning Blazing Flame, they could have smoothly infiltrated the camp for a surprise attack, and need not face such hassle, by now, the battle might have already ended!

"Bang—"

This time, to the Poison Ghost’s surprise, after exploding at the highest point, the Blazing Flame scattered in every direction, instantly transforming into a cascade, falling to form an overturned large bowl over the entire camp, engulfing it in countless fiery glows.

This "protective shield" was much stronger than the one provided by the earlier fourth-level Spiritual protection!

His toxic mist, upon contact, dissipated instantly!

"How is this possible?"

The Poison Ghost looked incredulously at the young figure standing in front of the campfire.

The instigator of all this—

Gu Shen.

The S-class from the East Continent who has only begun to shine in recent years!

How could he, a fourth level, be suppressed by the Deep Sea Eighth Layer in a confrontation of spiritual power?

In the next moment.

A strong sense of foreboding suddenly rose within the Poison Ghost.

Because the young man standing amidst the campfire slowly shifted his gaze and finally penetrated the Red Sea, landing upon him!

"???"

The earlier eye contact from tens of miles away, the Poison Ghost thought, was just an accident.

Now, a profoundly absurd notion emerged in his mind—

It wasn’t an accident.

This boy was truly "watching" him!

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

At the moment when the Poison Ghost met Gu Shen’s eyes, he felt his scalp tingle, goosebumps rising all over his body, an unprecedented danger warning exploding in his Spirit Sea!

Every Spiritual expert possesses a powerful sense of danger perception!

He knew that Gu Shen was absolutely a high-risk figure!

At this instant.

The figure in front of the campfire stepped forward, and Gu Shen instantly vanished from the camp’s array.

He plunged into this Red Sea alone.

The toxic fog enshrouded, the murderous intent intense.

Yet Gu Shen moved at such a swift pace, entirely unaffected, his body leaned forward, nearly parallel to the ground, one hand tucked in his sleeve, while the other gently danced out a "blade flower", the sky filled with blade light, mixed with the domain realm of Great Cold Silent Annihilation, slashing within the Red Sea.
