Chapter 434: Fighting Poison with Poison; More Painful Than Poison
Chapter 434: Fighting Poison with Poison; More Painful Than Poison
"You touched this poison?!"
The woman turned around, enduring the severe pain in her back, only to see You Su pinching her arm and grimacing in pain.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer?" You Su replied unhappily. Looking at his right palm which had turned dark blue, he knew that he had been too arrogant this time.
No matter how strong the power of Tai Sui is, it has its limits. The horror of this poison is far beyond his imagination. At first, he felt nothing, but in an instant, he felt that his right arm was frozen to death, as if with the slightest touch, his right arm would instantly disintegrate into pieces like a broken mirror.
"You deserve it." Venerable Qianlong sneered, as if he was taking revenge on You Su for what he had just done.
You Su curled his lips, looking at the woman's shoulders, which were a deeper blue than his. He was too lazy to get angry with her:
"You endured this pain and flew for so long?"
"how?"
"It's okay. You're really good at holding it in."
Venerable Qianlong wanted to get angry, but because his tense body affected his wound, he couldn't say anything to retort. He simply closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and endured the severe pain.
You Su had no intention of talking any more, and concentrated on forcing the mysterious Qi into his shoulders to block the spreading blue poison. The two of them were silent, and it seemed as if they were competing to see who could endure the pain better.
"What kind of poison is this?"
The woman raised her eyelids and said, "Frozen Bone Green Fly."
"Did that old man, Venerable Ningshuang, do it?"
Venerable Qianlong was slightly surprised. He did not expect that a blind man like You Su could have such a keen insight. He could not help but think highly of him:
"There are no living things in ice, not only because it is cold, but also because it is not breathable. But frost is more porous than ice, and there is a kind of insect with extremely strong vitality that can live in frost, which is the green fly. But the green fly itself is not poisonous, it is he who condenses various poisons into frost for the green fly to survive. In this way, the green fly becomes a very active and poisonous creature, and it is extremely difficult to exorcise it once it gets into the flesh and bones."
"He is really insidious." You Su felt a chill. No wonder he felt that these dark blue poisonous patterns were like living things.
"They are all Dongxu cultivators, so how can they not have some ruthless methods?" The woman said in a tone that sounded familiar.
"Didn't you say you have a way to detoxify? How do you do it?"
Venerable Qianlong paused and sighed, as if he felt that there was no point in being stubborn: "I have it, but I also don't. The green fly is an insect unique to Beiaozhou. It can survive in frost and can survive freezing, but it is afraid of fire. If you attack it with fire poison, it won't pose much of a threat."
Seeing You Su putting his arm into the fire, she quickly stopped him: "It's useless to roast it with fire. It has burrowed into the bones and flesh, and the fire outside can't roast it. I'm afraid it will only feel a little pain when your skin is burnt. It will still cost you an arm, which is meaningless."
"According to what you said, this old man Ningshuang's poison can only be used at home?"
The weather in Beiaozhou was freezing cold, so those who were good at fire magic were rare, so they were helpless against the freezing poison. However, in the other four continents, those who were good at fire magic were the most common, so the poison was not that scary.
But it is likely that low-level fire magic cannot threaten the green fly. Otherwise, with Venerable Qianlong's cultivation level, although she specializes in ice magic, she must have dabbled in other schools of magic, so why would she let the poison corrode her for so long?
"Most of the cultivators in Beiaozhou stay here for their entire lives. If they don't deal with their own people, who else can they deal with..."
Venerable Qianlong was lost in thought as he spoke, and then he glanced at the young man again, and slightly opened his pale lips as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated, and finally closed his lips, and after a while he managed to say:
"Come here. The ice can't kill the green fly, but it can at least immobilize it. I'll freeze your right shoulder for you, and I'll find a way to remove the poison when we return to the mountain."
You Su was surprised that her voice was no longer so high and mighty, nor so wantonly and assertive, but rather evasive and even weak. It felt to You Su that when Bai Ze got into trouble, he would try to ease his guilt by behaving a little bit well.
You Su secretly thought that her mentality was probably the same, like a child, but she was already hundreds of years old, and no one would forgive her like they would a child. Even if she was the one being used, as the highest manager, she naturally had responsibilities that she could not shirk.
"You can stop its spread, why not freeze yourself?"
"This poison can't do anything to me." The woman resumed her arrogant tone.
You Su shook his head, wondering if this woman was missing a stick, why was she more respectable than the man:
"You are afraid that if you freeze most of your meridians, you won't have enough strength to complete the second journey. But if you keep holding on like this, I think it won't be long before the poison spreads all over your back, and then your whole body."
The woman was startled by the news, then frowned and became determined:
"This disaster was caused by me. I will never die before it is over."
"After it's done, you can die?"
You Su heard the hidden meaning of Venerable Qianlong's words. This woman probably felt that she had no face to face the elders of Beiao and wanted to die to apologize, so he said quietly:
"In fact, you don't want to get rid of the poison, because the more painful it is, the more at ease you feel, as if this pain is the punishment you deserve. You endured the poison to save the world, and died from the poison after the incident. You can't completely shirk responsibility, but it can be considered as redemption and righteousness.
Although you didn’t die from the poisoning, after being poisoned you felt that this ending might be good for you, so you accepted it, but you thought it was too easy…”
"enough!"
Venerable Qianlong shouted angrily. Although she was clearly angry, You Su could clearly feel that her back looked even more depressed. "Whether I live or die has nothing to do with a foreigner like you! If you want to seal the poison, come here. If you don't want to, leave immediately!"
The fire in the cave flickered, and You Su walked up to the woman with a sigh.
Venerable Qianlong had already turned around, his brows and eyes were stern: "Stretch out your hand."
You Su did as he was told and stretched out his right hand.
The moment she saw You Su's right palm, the female fairy's pupils shrank suddenly, "You are not poisoned?!"
"I just detoxified myself." You Su raised his hand, which was now intact, and said, "Turn over. I will detoxify you."
Venerable Qianlong's beautiful eyes widened, and he looked at the bloodstained boy in disbelief, only to realize that he had underestimated him:
"You are a swordsman, but you also know advanced fire magic?"
"I was beaten up by you, a man who refused to listen to me. I'm so angry." You Su waved his hands.
Venerable Qianlong's face turned ugly after being confronted. He bit his lip and wanted to refute back, but looking at the wounds on the boy's body caused by the ice cones, he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Turn around, what are you hesitating about? If this little pain can make you feel less guilty, I'll be the first one to see it. Why is there such an easy way to atone for your sins in this world? I want you to feel the pain but not get it."
Seeing that the woman seemed to be dumbfounded by his words, You Su continued to urge her, "Your life has nothing to do with a foreigner like me, but the lives of people all over the world do. I am not trying to save you, I am trying to save them. Turn around."
Venerable Qianlong raised his eyes and looked straight into Yousu's eyes. Yousu's eyes were clear and black and white, and her expression was extremely complicated, but no longer aggressive.
Without further hesitation, she turned around and sat with her back to the young man.
The hem of her skirt with dragon pattern fell on the ice platform. Even though her beautiful back was still ferocious, she sat straight as if she was not afraid of the pain, like a lone sword stuck in the snow.
The cold fragrance mixed with the smell of blood floated in the cold mist. You Su had no intention of identifying women by scent. As he said, he just wanted to save the refugees of Beiaozhou. And it would be best if he could not take her as his family. When You Su heard about the detoxification method just now, he just tried it, but found that it really worked. Of course, he had not practiced any advanced fire-related skills. What he had was only the fire in his body nurtured by the Zhengyang Yangjian Jue.
Everyone is a firewood, and the sword-cultivation technique left by the fire master, Zhengyang Zun, is to cultivate the fire of burning firewood. This is not some kind of move that can change fate, but it has actually increased the power of You Su's sword moves and integrated it into every time he swings the sword.
In addition, You Su's Yang Qi was already too strong, and he had not released it for a long time after indulging himself on Venerable Qianhua. The fire in his abdomen was even more fierce than that of some great monks who specialized in fire-related skills. With a little urging, the green fly was burned to ashes, and there was not even time for the power of Tai Sui to take effect.
"If you're afraid of pain, just scream." You Su said in a clear voice.
Venerable Qianlong sneered, his black hair falling down to cover half of his face, "When I was in Beiao, you hadn't even formed a Dao fetus. A mere cold poison——"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly groaned. You Su took advantage of her distraction and put a hot palm on the initial wound on her shoulder.
The moment it came into contact with the deep blue poisonous pattern, white mist rose from the festering flesh, making a "sizzling" sound like a branding iron quenching water. The toxins visible to the naked eye surged and fled like a living thing, which was quite effective.
You Su had just been gritting his teeth secretly as he was using his internal force to stimulate the poison. The poison in this woman's body was more than just a fingertip of his. Moreover, the poison was mixed with such a large area of external injuries, and the pain was naturally hard to describe.
Even if this woman is the Master Dongxu, it doesn't mean she will never feel pain. Pain is the body's early warning mechanism, and the Master Dongxu will also die.
You Su noticed that the woman's ten fingers dug deeply into the ice platform, her knuckles turning blue and white, and sighed, "I said it hurts, so just scream. Don't try to be stubborn. If you don't scream, your body will be tense, and the mysterious energy in your body will keep resisting my entry. How can I get rid of the poison?"
Venerable Qianlong turned his head to avoid the young man's burning gaze, but the panting breath between his lips betrayed his pain: "Do you think I'm a crying child in the teahouse in Shuo City?"
You Su caught a glimpse of the ice beads condensed in her hair - they were the traces of cold sweat solidifying instantly when it came into contact with the extreme cold.
He suddenly remembered the image of Bai Ze curled up beside him in the seabed, and unconsciously lightened the force on his fingertips: "You are more troublesome than a child, at least they know to cry out in pain when they are hit by a chestnut."
Venerable Qianlong became even more furious when he heard this. In the eyes of this young man, he was inferior to anyone else. But she had to endure her suffering in silence.
You Su thought that she would at least turn around and glare at him, but he didn't expect that she would just bear it obediently. He also looked at her back arched into an arc of forbearance with satisfaction, which showed that she felt the pain and didn't tense her body to pretend anymore.
But You Su couldn't see that the fairy's originally pale face had turned rosy and beautiful, and there was a thin mist under her eyes.
She was not a shy person, it was just an uncontrollable instinctive reaction.
She was devoted to revitalizing Bei'ao and had no intention of having sex. Not to mention rubbing shoulders and backs, even the opposite sex could not get close to her. Although the boy was healing his wounds, he actually bumped into her. But this was not the reason why she felt ashamed and angry, because she found that the fire that You Su had in his body was not a proper fire at all!
So rather than saying that Venerable Qianlong couldn't help the pain, it would be better to say that she couldn't help this strange feeling of both pain and warmth.
"Hurry up! I didn't cry out in pain!" Venerable Qianlong gritted his teeth, secretly annoyed that You Su's actions were actually pretending to be gentle.
As the pain subsided, another feeling became more prominent, which actually made it more difficult for her to bear.
But You Su thought she was just holding on and did not increase her strength.
Venerable Qianlong was in great pain, and felt even more aggrieved when he thought that he had been made so uncomfortable by a young boy. He thought that what You Su said made sense, and pain was indeed the easiest way to atone for sins.
She wanted to ridicule You Su a few times to make the boy stronger in revenge, but she couldn't say it because she was filled with guilt. Without You Su, she might not have discovered the truth until it was too late, and the boy saved her at this time regardless of the grudge.
She hadn't even said thank you, so how could she scold him? She simply kept silent and endured it. She thought to herself how furious Ning Shuang would be if he knew that the poison he had put so much effort into putting in her body was easily cured by a young man.
She found it ironic that a demon wanted by all five continents was the only one willing to bring the truth to her and wake her up.
Before, she only thought he was an enemy who was blocking her path, but now she could observe him more carefully. From this hand, she could feel that the boy's Qi was perfect and his spirit was rich. He could break through the Feather Transformation Realm at any time.
At this age, he had reached the Feather Transformation Realm, which really made her admire him.
After a long while, Venerable Qianlong changed into a simple long dress, covering his smooth and beautiful back. You Su wiped the sweat off his forehead and changed into clean clothes.
A strong wind suddenly blew up outside the ice cave, and the whimpering sound seemed to urge them to set off.
Venerable Qianlong looked at the cave entrance and spoke in a voice as light as snow falling into a deep pool:
"Are you still feeling unwell?"
"It hurts everywhere. Give me more pills."
You Su had no intention of being polite to her. The injuries on his body were not serious, but his Qiankun bag was completely empty.
Venerable Qianlong glanced at him and pursed her lips. As the instigator, she was not stingy and took out a number of scattered pills from her Qiankun bag and threw them all over.
You Su took them all and smelled them, "Not even a can of top-grade elixir?"
Venerable Qianlong took a deep breath, as if to suppress his anger, "It seems that you are also a pampered nobleman. I usually just eat these pills. Do you think that top-grade pills can be found everywhere?"
Although You Su had eaten a lot of good things, he still knew the value of things. He just didn't expect that a person with such a high status didn't even have a jar of top-grade elixir on him.
He thought that what Bai Ze said was right, this Venerable Qianlong was indeed the stingiest woman in Shenshan. But he also vaguely guessed that this stinginess was not because she was stingy or poor, but because she did not want to gather precious resources in her own hands.
After all, top-grade elixirs are rare in any continent, and powerful people like to hoard them even if they can't use them, while those who really crave elixirs find it difficult to get one. For this point alone, she is impeccable, and You Suzi is unlikely to be resentful for not getting a top-grade elixir.
With a word of departure, Venerable Qianlong picked up You Su again and flew up to the sky. This time, You Su did not feel the pain on his face from the cold wind at high altitude, she actually set up a shield for him.
They flew until dawn and finally saw the devastated land.
It took You Su nearly two days to fly to the sacred mountain by shuttle, but now he saw evil demons wreaking havoc in just one day, which means that they have spread to a wider area.
The deathly aura in the air made Venerable Qianlong's expression as stiff as ice. The evil spirit corroded the white snow like ink. You Su even felt that the hand she was holding on his waist was squeezing even tighter.
It wasn't because she was afraid that he would fall, but she was trying hard to suppress the trembling of her body.
"How does it feel?" You Su asked maliciously.
"It hurts more than poison."
The woman replied sadly, leaping towards the crowded group of evil beings.
