Chapter 1090: Battle with Hong-Xuan
An hour passed...
"Hurry up! Hurriedly destroy this damn defensive curtain!"
Yes, sir, Clan Leader!
Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!
Booooooom!!!
Bang!
Booooooom!!!
Bang!
It had already been an hour since the people of the Hong Clan had joined together to attack the Wu Clan's defensive curtain heavily. But the defensive curtain had not yet collapsed. Even though it was about to fall apart before.
"How can it be like this? It should have been destroyed a moment ago! Or is that crazy kid really the one who created this spell? No! At his age, he shouldn't be able to do that. But…"
Groooaaan!
Bang!!!
Aaaaaaah!
But at that moment, the Wu Clan's defensive curtain shook violently. Not because it was destroyed. But because of the strong energy beams and waves generated on it. This change caused all attacks from the Hong Clan people to be reflected back to themselves. And it also caused some of them to be injured.
Poison!
I have been poisoned!
Help me!
Help... help me... Augh!
But the damage did not end there. After the people in the Hong Clan were injured, they all felt dizzy and light-headed. Some shivered uncontrollably, while others turned purple in the blink of an eye. They could immediately tell that they had been poisoned, and it was a severe poison. Within a few moments, some people started to vomit white foam mixed with blood before they fell to the ground and died with their eyes rolling back to their heads.
Damn it!
"Quickly move away from that defensive curtain. And stay away from people who are poisoned!" Hong-Xuan immediately ordered his men. Because he could see that the poison was not ordinary at all. Although he was not affected much, he could tell that if anyone got too close to it, it could cause that person to get hurt and be affected by the poison as well.
Yes, sir, Clan Leader!
Not long after Hong-Xuan issued the order, dozens of poisoned Hong Clan people died miserably. Everyone was in bad condition. That was Hong-Xuan's biggest loss. Since he had been a Clan Leader for so many years, he had never suffered such a heavy loss. Every time he took action, he always won.
"Wh... why is it like this? A moment ago, I couldn't feel any poison at all. Then, where do these poisons come from? Or has your Wu Clan stooped so low to the point of using poison?" Hong-Xuan tried to find out where this poison came from. He could guess two things. First, it happened because someone in the Wu Clan secretly released poison without him knowing. Second, the poison came from the Wu Clan's defensive curtain.
"Our clan is honorable enough. We would never use such dirty methods. If we're going to fight, we're going to fight face-to-face." Wu-Dong-Fei stepped forward and answered Hong-Xuan with a serious and firm expression. Because he was not someone who liked to use such depraved methods.
Flap!
"It's me who did it. But it's not because I secretly used poison. It's because the new version of my defensive spell curtain has added poisonous properties from some materials I used. Therefore, it'll only affect those who attack the defensive curtain and get the energy reflected!" Zheng-Fu suddenly appeared again and explained the origin of the poison.
Ah!
"How is that possible? If you were to make this defensive curtain have poisonous properties, you must have hundreds of monster souls from poison-type monster beasts. Including their remains and blood!" Although Hong-Xuan was not good at spells, he still knew some principles. So he could not believe Zheng-Fu's words.
Or is it because...
"Young Master, earlier you said that you had returned in time. Does that mean you went to Thorny Mountain?" Wu-Dong-Fei asked. He felt like he understood something.
"Yes! I went hunting to pass the time at Thorny Mountain. And I accidentally stumbled upon the nest of Six-eyed Spider Monster Beasts. So, I cleaned them up before returning," Zheng-Fu replied without any concealment. He believed that the elder must have known more or less about this kind of monster beast.
"Is it the Six-eyed Spider Monster Beast that is famous for being among the most poisonous beasts in Thorny Mountain?"
Not only was the elder shocked, but everyone who heard it felt the same fear and shock. Because the Wu Clan's territory was close to Thorny Mountain, all the members knew what kinds of scary monsters there were and were not to interfere with them when they encountered them. The Six-eyed Spider Monster Beast was one of them. Although it was not the most poisonous monster in Thorny Mountain, its poison was so strong that it could easily kill the initial Deity Monarch Stage cultivators if they were heavily poisoned.
Besides the Wu Clan's people, Hong-Xuan and the people in the Hong Clan were also extremely shocked. Because going to Thorny Mountain and hunting the Six-eyed Spider Monster Beast was not easy. Hong-Xuan had also fought against it before. And luckily, he was not attacked by a swarm of them. Otherwise, he would have died from their poison a long time ago.
"I don't know who you are. But I hope you'll ignore this for the sake of the Hong Clan and let this matter go. And in the future, our clan will reward you appropriately!" Hong-Xuan knew when to attack and when to retreat. And at that time, he could not destroy this defensive curtain by himself. He needed help from his clan's elders. Therefore, he had to find a way to prevent that young man from releasing more poison.
"For the sake of the Hong Clan!? Is it really that big and sacred? Why should I do anything for the sake of you guys? If the Wu Clan didn't have this defensive curtain, would you be willing to let them go when they begged you like this? It won't be like that, right?!" Zheng-Fu grinned disdainfully before asking Hong-Xuan about the reverse situation if the Wu Clan didn't have his defensive curtain.
Erm...
Of course, Hong-Xuan could not answer. Because if it were like Zheng-Fu said, he would definitely not let the Wu Clan people go.
"Anyway, you can't do anything to me. If I break in, no one can stop me. But if you want to know what I say is true, come outside. Then I'll show it to you!" Although Hong-Xuan was afraid of the defensive curtain, he was not at all afraid to fight Zheng-Fu one-on-one. If Zheng-Fu agreed to fight him outside, Hong-Xuan was confident that he would be able to kill Zheng-Fu.
"Huh! If that is what you want, I'll satisfy your desire!" Zheng-Fu was not afraid of Hong-Xuan at all. Even if they fought outside of the defensive curtain, or the other side had a higher energy level. Because he still had many secret cards in his hand that he had not yet used. He accepted Hong-Xuan's challenge and immediately soared outside the spell curtain.
Young Master Zheng-Fu!!!
Wu-Qi-Fong and the entire Wu Clan immediately cried out to stop Zheng-Fu. Even though Zheng-Fu was very talented, it would be impossible for a ninth-level Genuine Deity Stage cultivator to compete with a third-level Deity Monarch Stage cultivator.
"Don't even try, Qi-Fong! Young Master knows what he should do. He wouldn't leave without having a plan to deal with the other party!" But Elder Wu-Dong-Fei thought differently. Because he secretly saw Zheng-Fu's confident smile. He knew that Zheng-Fu must have had some plans.
Father!
Grandpa!!!
"You guys don't have to say anything. Let's wait and see what will happen!" The elder raised his hand to stop everyone from saying anything else. Because he did not want to miss the upcoming battle. He wanted to know how Zheng-Fu would be able to fight against Hong-Xuan.
Flap!
After Zheng-Fu came outside the defensive curtain, he stopped not too far from Hong-Xuan. And it was such a close distance that he would be in danger if Hong-Xuan took the first step without giving him a chance to prepare.
Good! Good! Good!
"I have the utmost respect for your bravery and madness. So, after I kill you, I'll give you a good funeral. And in return for your bravery, I'll let you attack me three times first, and I won't retaliate at all!" Hong-Xuan greatly admired Zheng-Fu's courage. He thought that Zheng-Fu would definitely not come out. He did not expect Zheng-Fu to accept his challenge. Therefore, to reward this bravery, he would let Zheng-Fu attack him three times first.
"That's not necessary. Because I don't like to bully older people. Whatever you have, bring it out to the fullest. Because if you don't, you'll never have the chance again!" Zheng-Fu shook his head and rejected Hong-Xuan's good wishes for him to attack first. Because he could not trust whether the other party would keep his word.
Huh!
"Since you want to die that much, you can! I'll arrange it according to your request!"
Yaaaaaaa!
Booooooom!!!
Hong-Xuan did not think that Zheng-Fu would pass up such an opportunity and even arrogantly told him to use everything he had in this battle. Therefore, to satisfy Zheng-Fu's needs, he released all of his energy without any restraint.
Dodge quickly!
Get out of here first!
At the same time, the people of the Hong Clan hurriedly retreated because they were unable to withstand the pressure created by Hong-Xuan's energy waves.
"Not bad at all! But only on par with Six-eyed Spider Monster Beast Queen. If you don't have tricks like the deadly poison and durable web like Six-eyed Spider Monster Beast Queen, there's no way you can beat me, Oldy Hong. Hurry! Hurry to get the magic item out!"
Zheng-Fu experienced Hong-Xuan's energy and found that its strength was no different from the Six-eyed Spider Monster Beast Queen's. He was able to defeat the Six-eyed Spider Monster Beast Queen because he used tricks. Otherwise, he would not have survived either. But the battle with Hong-Xuan was different. Zheng-Fu would not be able to do anything except fight directly. But even so, he was not afraid at all.
"There's no need to rush to death like this. First, let's have some fun." Hong-Xuan immediately grinned when he heard Zheng-Fu's words. Because he was confident in his abilities and believed that Zheng-Fu would only be good at talking and manipulating his nerves. Therefore, to test, he took out a small saber from his dimensional ring and ordered it to hover around his body.
Flying saber!?
Hmm, One-star Deity Treasure!
As soon as the elder saw Hong-Xuan's flying saber, he knew that it was an extremely rare One-star Deity Treasure. And it was also more expensive than other weapons of the same level.
"Since you want to show off your flying saber in front of me, then show me how good it is. Is it sharp enough to cut tofu?" Zheng-Fu was not shocked when he saw the One-star Deity Treasure weapon. Because he had seen Deity Treasures at higher levels than this before. And he had many pieces of them as well. Only, they were not attack-type weapons. However, he was still confident that he could handle this flying saber. Therefore, he taunted Hong-Xuan with pleasure.
You're so boastful!
"Then, try three stances of my flying saber!"
Assault!
Whoosh!!!
