Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 158 Poison Ze
"Puff..."

The swamp filled with thick steam was constantly churning like boiling water, but inside it there was a distinction between thick and thin water.

"Chi~"

The thick fog gradually rose like a tide, and every wave would lick the surface of the amethyst barrier and erode it a little bit inwards.

The lion king, who was carefully holding up the barrier, released his fighting spirit sparingly to fill the gap. He would never throw out even a strand more if he could consume less, so that he always maintained a victorious posture.

"Even the purple fire cannot completely offset its power..."

The lion king raised his paw, and as soon as he pulled it out of the mud, a large cloud of mist came out. The amethyst fire struggled to emit a flame, struggling to evaporate the poisonous mud that stained his claws.

If he wasn't thick-skinned, he would have been skinned by now.

"If we keep wasting time like this, I'm afraid we can only hold out for ten days or half a month."

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered.

Even if he could use the power of heaven and earth to restore his Dou Qi after reaching the Dou Zong realm, he could not resist the poisonous gas that was too dense around him.

The Lion King is not a skilled poison master, so he would never dare to refine the poison mist to restore his fighting spirit. He can only do it slowly like this.

And in this swamp, there are many evil beasts that have been tortured to madness by toxins. If they don't restrain the consumption of their own fighting spirit, they may encounter accidents.

The combination of these two factors directly reduces their exploration efficiency to the minimum.

“It’s getting trickier.”

Xiao Yan raised his hand and pulled a wisp of poisonous gas from outside the barrier into his body. As soon as it entered his meridians, a series of pustules appeared on his arm, and purple-black blood gushed out of them.

The deeper you explore into the poisonous swamp, the faster the power of the poison gas increases.

By now, the toxicity had exceeded the limit of what his body could endure, and the swamp was still far from reaching the center.

"According to this trend, if the toxins of the Netherworld Poison Fire cannot be purified, we can only wait for the teacher to wake up before we can do anything else."

Even if we infer based on the current toxicity, the strength of the poisonous fire is enough to threaten a Dou Zong strongman. If Xiao Yan relies on himself to withstand it, he will not be able to die even if he has a hundred lives.

"I don't know how those poison masters are able to explore this and actually organize themselves to carry out activities... The lowest level among them has just reached Dou Wang, right?"

After lighting the strange fire to purify his arm, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

I really can’t understand…

"Why do you think they can resist the poison gas?" Medusa sneered, "Those people are dying slowly."

"Poison masters have been soaking in poison since the beginning of their training, and have endured torture. Even if their minds are strong and they have maintained their sanity, the physical pain will accompany them for the rest of their lives."

"For those lunatics, they can easily sacrifice decades of life. As long as it can improve their strength, they dare to do anything."

The bottom line of the drug dealer is always very strange.

In battle, they often appear to be quite afraid of death, but when it comes to spiritual practice, they all rush forward like reckless men.

“Isn’t this just like being a martyr?”

Xiao Yan didn't quite understand what these people were thinking.

"Martyrdom? Haha... just a bunch of poor people."

Although Medusa had never been to Izumo before, she had seen many poison masters in previous battles and knew how their lives would develop: "Those who can make it big are all civilians who have been ruthless since childhood."

"They dare to use any poison they see on themselves. This cycle repeats over and over again. Among millions of civilians, there will always be a few with special physiques and good luck who break through to the Dou Wang level. Rather than giving up halfway, they are definitely more willing to continue to gamble their lives and try to climb higher."

It is also because of this that spoiled people like Ying'er cannot survive in Izumo.

Without that kind of ruthlessness, the realm of poisonous fighting spirit will stagnate sooner or later.

"Gamble your life..."

Xiao Yan lit the strange fire and stared in a daze at the gray-white lotus spinning in his palm.

"Snort!"

Suddenly, a dull nasal sound was heard from the front, and faint sounds of mud and water surging came from the fog. Just by listening to the sound, one could guess that the thing was quite large and was approaching tentatively.

"Another level six..."

The lion king's expression changed slightly, and he immediately gathered his fighting spirit and spit it out in a deep voice.

"Roar!"

A heavy and low roar suddenly resounded, and the energy contained in it turned into a circle of shock waves that shook the surroundings, pushing the poisonous fog outwards and sweeping out a large vacuum zone in front of the body.

roll!
"... "

The monster hidden in the mud was also quite sensible. After sensing the dangerous aura from the lion king, it took the initiative to retreat and made way without saying a word.

"Finally I met one that I can communicate with. The IQs of the other ones combined are not this high, right?"

The lion king bared his teeth and walked forward cautiously. A purple crystal seal was brewing in the horn on his head, which could be used instantly if he realized something was wrong.

These monsters are quite vicious, so he has to be careful.

"Alright, alright, it's gone far away!"

Xiao Yan moved his butt helplessly, obviously feeling quite uncomfortable because of the blown-up crystal fur: "Why don't you release your soul power to scan it? What can you see with your eyes..."

The air was filled with smoke, and it might be an exaggeration to say that you couldn't see your hand in front of you, but you definitely couldn't see very far.

In this case, eyes are not as useful as touch.

“Because I’m afraid of being corrupted!”

The lion king put away his posture in a depressed manner, showing an attitude of being ignorant of the sufferings of the people.

Who doesn’t know that soul power is useful?

But this poisonous gas will even corrode the soul, and the soul will inevitably be damaged if it is released for a long time.

Not everyone can be as nonchalant as Xiao Yan in releasing their souls. High-level healing medicines are expensive, and pills that can affect the soul are more than twice as expensive on average. Who can afford it?

If the spirit is really damaged, most people can only rely on meditation to slowly heal it, and it may not be able to heal the damage even if they spend two or three months. In the end, they still have to ask the alchemist for help and exchange a few soul-nourishing pills for use.

In this world, the one who can make medicine is the real boss.

"If you continue like this, you still won't be able to detect another poisonous cloud coming towards you."

Xiao Yan sighed softly.

He didn't know if it was because of the influence of the strange fire in his body, but those spiritual poisonous clouds would take the initiative to cause trouble for him. If the Little Medical Fairy hadn't swallowed those poisonous gases before, he could now prepare for his reincarnation.

"Now this shield is completely gone~"

Xiao Yan pinched Xiao Yixian's nose and shook it, but he couldn't wake her up as she was sleeping like a dead pig.

Swallowing so much poison in one breath would be a bit overwhelming even for the poisonous body of Evil Dead. He obviously has indigestion. It would be normal for him to sleep for three to five days.

"Uh, this..."

The lion king looked a little embarrassed: "How about I try to fly high in the sky? Although I might be besieged, at least I can find the enemy." "No thanks!"

The Qi-replenishing pills in Xiao Yan's hand were not enough even for himself, so how could he sustain a ten-day-long high-intensity battle?

This mount is really unreliable... I might as well switch to Medusa.

"I think it's necessary to go up to the sky to have a look. There are no landmarks in this swamp. If we take the wrong road, we will have to add a few more days to our journey."

Medusa sat cross-legged, with her sword resting across her legs, ready to strike at any time: "By the way... since the thing you are looking for can sense the strange fire in your body, you should be able to locate its location in reverse, right?"

"Disaster."

The fire lotus in Xiao Yan's hand shattered into a dozen petals that flew in all directions. They all showed signs of being attracted by the dark energy, but the deviations in their paths were quite strange, each pointing in its own direction.

"The power of that thing completely covers this area, just like the smoke, which is thick and thin. It is impossible to tell which place where the energy gathers is its hiding place. As for me, I am just a small bright light that can be located from a distance of 1,800 miles."

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.

But the real reason is that Xiao Yan’s current soul power is not enough to detect the hiding place of the Netherworld Poison Fire.

Otherwise, the Soul Tsunami will track it for thousands of miles and it will have nowhere to escape.

"Then how are you going to find it? Get to the spot where the poison gas is concentrated, and then dig down? This is a bit too much work!"

Medusa couldn't help but frown. She didn't have beast fire to protect her like the Lion King, and she really didn't want to be exposed to this sinister aura for too long.

As for the fire that she got from Xiao Yan... the highest level of this thing is only level five, so it would be better for her to protect the fire from being contaminated.

"Why do you need to go down?"

Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with shock. He lit flames from his hands as if to show off, and rubbed out the Buddha's wrath lotus: "With this thing to help, just throw it out and explode it to see if there is any strange fire in the swamp."

Seems... makes sense...

But the feasibility seems to be insufficient.

Medusa's mouth twitched: "If that thing is hidden deep in the swamp, you may not be able to blow it up even if you set off a fire lotus, right?"

Xiao Yan said nothing, but just stretched out his hand towards the mud.

Sucking palms!

With a puff, a desperately struggling eel-shaped monster flew into his hands.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan rummaged through the ring again, and finally took out a strange-looking worm-like creature and flashed it in front of her eyes.

Zombie Gu!
Stuff the poisonous insect into the eel's head to control it, then pull a crystal from the lion's back, put the fire lotus in it and seal it with purple crystal, then stuff it into the eel's stomach, and it's done...

"This thing is called a torpedo!"

Xiao Yan picked up the struggling eel and explained it to Medusa in a serious manner: "After launching, it has its own power module, which can steadily advance and even gradually accelerate. It can also lock and track the target by itself. It is the best choice for killing people, robbing goods, destroying formations and exploring treasures."

"this…"

Medusa stared blankly at the fish as it landed on the lion's back, twisted and slid away, then burrowed into the mud and continued to sink.

Is this how these strange things are used?
"There are only about ten suspected points. The exploration cost is almost negligible. The time is basically only spent on moving between the points."

"Besides~ I also have a solution for those poisonous clouds."

Xiao Yan chuckled and took out the Xuan Zhong ruler. He spread his wings and flew into the air, gathering the strange fire and slashing with all his might.

A curtain of fire several dozen feet long spread out with a bang, splitting the thick fog in front of him into a deep ravine and pushing it into a gradually moving away fog wall, like a split sea.

"louse!"

The sound like that of quenching swords crossed the sky above the swamp, and the rampant breath of strange fire also startled the spirits hidden in the mist. Within ten breaths, five or six dull sounds of breaking wind came from far away.

"Are you planning on taking out everyone nearby in one go? Can you handle it?"

Medusa looked a little nervous. With so many poisonous clouds coming together, even a Dou Huang would probably dissolve into nothingness in an instant. How could Xiao Yan possibly deal with it with just his Dou Wang cultivation?

Are you going to set the lotus on fire?

That thing has conflicting properties here, boss!

If a second explosion occurs, the energy will be enough to send even a Dou Zong flying far away.

"Bear? What are you thinking... I certainly can't handle these things."

Xiao Yan was very clear about his own capabilities and certainly would not challenge such a life-threatening thing.

Seeing that the poisonous cloud was not far away, he immediately took out the Black Magic Cauldron and threw the strange fire into it. Then he threw the entire giant cauldron far away and it remained in the poisonous swamp.

"This move is called: Luo Que."

Xiao Yan leisurely sat on the lion king's back and clapped his hands: "Lion king, it's time for you to come on stage."

"Don't worry, sir..."

The lion king narrowed his eyes, and flames instantly lit up at the tip of his horn.

Amethyst Seal!

The poisonous cloud that emerged from the fog was blasted solid by the rune beam. In the blink of an eye, it collapsed and condensed into crystals, and fell into the Black Magic Cauldron with two clangs.

Simply perfect.

Xiao Yixian obtained the poison gas, Xiao Yan was saved from a sneak attack, the Lion King was able to show his strength, and Medusa just took it as an eye-opener. Except for the Black Demon Cauldron that was soaked in mud, all the beings present suffered no losses.

"If my eyesight is correct, that medicine cauldron should be quite valuable, right? You used it so roughly, is there really nothing wrong with it?"

Medusa was terrified by what she saw.

It's like seeing someone throwing jewels and jade around just to hear the noise.

According to her understanding, aren't medicine cauldrons the treasures and lifeblood of alchemists? They are usually carefully kept, for fear of any bumps or scratches.

But Xiao Yan used the tripod as a cage, a pot, and even as a shield... How could such a domineering guy appear in this world...

"Don't worry. The quality of this tripod is far beyond your imagination. It's impossible for even this small scratch to leave a mark."

Xiao Yan touched his nose guiltily.

Fortunately, Yao Lao was still sleeping, otherwise if he saw his precious medicine cauldron being ruined like this, he might have fallen into the mud.

It has to be said that there is a big difference between Xiao Yan and traditional people like Yao Lao. At least he treats the medicine cauldron as a functional tool and uses it when possible, instead of carrying it in his arms all the time like a treasure.

'The hardness and weight of the Black Magic Cauldron are much higher than the Xuanzhong Ruler. If you throw it out to hit someone, the effect will probably be amazing... the spiritual fire inside can even splash someone's face. If you place strange fire in the cauldron in advance, it can also cause an explosion.'

Xiao Yan couldn't help but imagine the many uses of the Tian Ding.

The more I think about it, the more I think there is hope!
"Xiao Yanzi, why did the tripod that Master placed in the ring disappear? Did he secretly use it again?"

A familiar voice sounded beside my ears, and it was a bit dazed, as if I had just woken up.
