Chapter 89: The Hunter Becomes the Hunted

Just as Zhu Yingying was about to summon the White Jade Bee, she was struck squarely by a crimson ray shot from Brother Hua’s sleeve.

"Ah!"

Zhu Yingying’s face lost all color.

The crimson ray turned out to be a poison centipede, entirely scarlet in hue.

The centipede bit her on the chest, causing her spiritual power to become disrupted. Her demeanor slackened, and she was about to collapse.

Brother Hua caught her in his arms.

Quickly, he found a storage pouch, which he handed over to Elder Wei.

Elder Wei swept it with his Divine Sense and nodded.

"Old Zhu certainly found himself a lucrative path!"

"Master, what should we do?"

"I’ve heard that Shen, the Talisman Master, is quite capable. His hiding in Yunyuan Immortal City is somewhat troublesome."

"There’s no need for Master to worry. Isn’t this a ready-made bait?"

Brother Hua laughed particularly lasciviously.

"Just place a few restrictions on this little girl, and she will obey without question."

"Once she lures that Shen, the Talisman Master out of the city, and Master strikes from the shadows, won’t it be a win-win?"

Elder Wei hesitated a little.

"Handling Zhu’s girl like this makes it hard to explain to Elder Zhu."

"Explain? Why bother explaining!"

Brother Hua urged, "This matter will eventually come to light. Anyway, his precious daughter is in our hands, and when the time comes, we’ll deal with Elder Zhu too..."

Elder Wei sighed.

"Zhu girl, you’ve heard this. You can’t blame us. Blame your father! I’ve known him for years, yet he dines alone!"

Shock was all over Zhu Yingying’s face.

She never imagined that Elder Wei, always in harmony with her father, would strike at her and her father!

"Elder Wei, don’t be delusional. When my father arrives, you should think about how to beg for mercy in order to save your life!"

Yingying cried out defiantly.

"Moreover! I will never help you deceive Shen, the Talisman Master!"

Shen Xuan could sense Zhu Yingying’s current anxiety.

This is, after all, a cultivator from the Five Poison Sect!

Falling into the hands of this master and disciple, they have ways to force her to comply.

"This matter, however, is beyond your control!"

Brother Hua’s laughter grew even more lewd.

"Once you’re beneath me, ridden until you’re overwhelmed with ecstasy, you’ll agree to anything!"

Zhu Yingying was both ashamed and angry.

"Aren’t you afraid of my mother?"

The words fell.

Elder Wei lightly furrowed his brow.

"Your mother is indeed troublesome."

"However, since she’s not here, why should I fear her?"

"Stop teasing her and get on with the business!"

Brother Hua responded somewhat dispassionately.

"Alright."

He took out a porcelain bottle and carefully poured out a black-colored pill from within.

"Sister Zhu, this is the Enchanting Pill. Once ingested, you’ll do anything we ask!"

Shen Xuan saw Zhu Yingying’s delicate face turn ashen instantly.

Clearly, she recognized this pill.

Shen Xuan stopped overthinking.

Activating the spiritual power within, the thirteen dark spirit fishes he had prepared for a long time suddenly leapt from the sea, transforming into thirteen solid dark blades, shooting like lightning toward Elder Wei and Brother Hua.

"How bold!"

Elder Wei, realizing the attack, immediately summoned a blood-colored small knife treasure, transforming it into a blood shadow to meet Shen Xuan’s dark spirit fishes fiercely.

The next moment.

With a "boom."

Fine ice shards fell and scattered.

Evenly dropping on the ground, glinting with an eerie darkness.

Three dark spirit fishes were shattered.

The blood-colored small knife was also returned to its original form, its spiritual light dimmed.

However, the remaining six dark spirit fishes swept past.

Elder Wei’s figure retreated violently.

A protective spirit shield lit up on his body.

Meanwhile, the Red-eyed Green Bamboo Snake concealed on his shoulder flicked its tongue, pursuing the dark spirit fishes.

However, the Red-eyed Green Bamboo Snake only managed to block one dark spirit fish.

"You brat!"

Elder Wei cursed, but without hesitation, he summoned a small black shield to block the five dark spirit fishes.

"Boom!"

The dark spirit fishes collided rapidly with the small black shield, the continuous explosion force making Elder Wei retreat consistently.

A green mist spread.

As soon as Elder Wei inhaled a mouthful, his face changed drastically.

"Silver Hook Poison! You are Shen Xuan!"

Shen Xuan revealed his figure and let out a cold laugh.

Suddenly, a Cold Ice Divine Dragon emerged in full form from the Bishui Sword in his hand.

Using both the Condensed Water Blade Technique and Water Spirit Gathering Essence Technique, enhanced by various talents, the Bishui Sword displayed a momentum even more terrifying than that of the Dark Spirit Fish!

"Talisman Master Shen, let’s talk this over!" Elder Wei spat several mouths of essence blood on the small black shield.

The essence blood landed on the black shield, quickly causing black luminescence to surface on the treasure, blocking the ferocious Cold Ice Divine Dragon.

"Boom!"

This time, Elder Wei and his shield were directly knocked several feet away!

After the Cold Ice Divine Dragon shattered, the green mist grew thicker.

Elder Wei tightly gripped the black shield, the spiritual light dimming, his wrist bleeding.

Before he could recover.

Another Dark Cold Ice Divine Dragon attacked!

A golden shield added to Elder Wei’s body.

"Tier Two Golden Light Talisman?"

But it was useless!

The defense power of the Tier Two Golden Light Talisman was clearly inferior to that of the Black Shield Treasure.

As soon as it was hit by the Dark Cold Ice Divine Dragon, the golden light broke, the Spirit Shield shattered.

Elder Wei spat out a mouthful of blood with a foul odor, staggeringly retreating, nearly collapsing.

"Shen Xuan, stop! If you make another move, I’ll kill the Zhu girl!"

However, when he looked around.

Brother Hua had long been lying on the ground, motionless.

Zhu Yingying was glaring angrily at him.

Earlier, Shen Xuan had launched thirteen Dark Spirit Fish, four aimed at Brother Hua.

Poor Brother Hua, a mere Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation cultivator, had no way to resist!

After sacrificing his magical artifact, he barely blocked the first Dark Spirit Fish before he was hit by the other three.

His dantian shattered, meridians severed, body poisoned by Silver Hook Poison, he was dead beyond dead!

Seeing his closed-door disciple die tragically, Elder Wei instead laughed!

"Good riddance! If not for this kid’s instigation, how would I face this calamity!"

Elder Wei waved his hand repeatedly.

"Talisman Master Shen, stop for now! Hear me out!"

"It’s my fault, I’m willing to compensate handsomely!"

Pitting his old life on it, Elder Wei could still make one last strike.

But the current Shen Xuan’s strength was too terrifying, leaving him no thoughts of fighting to the death.

At this point, he was already poisoned by Silver Hook Poison.

Having practiced poison techniques for many years, he had high poison resistance.

But the Silver Hook Poison was too fierce, causing him to feel dizzy.

"Zhu Qingsheng used the Silver Hook Snake Poison Talisman to practice, with ill intent!"

"Once he succeeds and breaks through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, it will be your death day!"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

Why speculate on things that haven’t happened?

"Really, I’m not lying to you! Zhu Qingsheng is crafty and ruthless! And this Zhu girl is too..."

However.

Shen Xuan didn’t want to listen anymore.

At that moment.

Thirteen Dark Spirit Fish surrounded from all directions to attack.

Elder Wei fought desperately, blocking seven or eight.

Despite his efforts, his body was still struck by the remaining Dark Spirit Fish!

He stood up, his body shaking, spitting black blood.

"Shen Xuan, if you don’t heed my word, you will regret it!"

Then, he fell straight to the ground.

Shen Xuan didn’t rush forward.

Instead, he cast the Sea-covering Thunder Technique, continually electrocuting Elder Wei’s corpse.

He applied over a dozen strikes.

Even if he were alive, being electrocuted like this would make him dead.

Only then did Shen Xuan confirm that Elder Wei was indeed dead.

This was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Five Poison Sect; Shen Xuan was extremely cautious.

He secured the storage pouches and magical treasures from Elder Wei and Brother Hua.

He froze their corpses into fragments and scattered them into the East Sea.

As for the Red-eyed Green Bamboo Snake, a wood-type demon insect, it was not much use to him.

After killing it, he threw it into the sea.

Although somewhat wasteful.

There was no other way.

He didn’t want someone to discover the true cause of Elder Wei’s fall because of a demon snake.

He then looked at Zhu Yingying, who was trembling behind him.

This was the most troublesome issue.
