Chapter 1378: Chapter 1378: Mere Poison, Nothing to Worry About!

"Now, do you still think it’s a tie?"

Yun Xiao’s voice contained not a trace of emotion, seemingly oblivious to the Spirit Fighting Commerce genius rolling in pain on the ground, he asked softly, just as before.

At this moment, outsiders like Nie Xiaosheng felt a chill down their spines, secretly vowing that no matter what, they must never provoke this demon again.

Such a poison, which could catch an Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master completely off guard, erupt instantly, and then be so devastatingly potent, was truly indefensible.

Compared to these outsiders, the many meridian refining geniuses of Lianyun Mountain were shocked, but more so, they were inexplicably delighted, that senior Yun Xiao had ultimately not let them down.

It was more than just not disappointing them; it far exceeded their expectations! Xie Tianwan had used a Heavenly Rank Low Level poison, yet he still ended up in such a miserable state.

"I... I..."

Xie Tianwan, tortured by pain and numb itchiness and rolling on the ground, still retained a final thread of reason, or perhaps he was waiting for something. By the time it came, he would no longer need to make a choice.

The pain from Yun Xiao’s poison was certainly unbearable, but Xie Tianwan knew clearly that if he truly disclosed the origins of those two kinds of poison, he would probably lose his life.

So at this moment, Xie Tianwan was struggling between pain and life and death, unable to make up his mind. However, if the savior he hoped for didn’t arrive in time, he probably wouldn’t last long.

The potency of Yun Xiao’s poison lay in allowing you to clearly sense the numb itch and pain in every part of your body, without passing out; such pain was undoubtedly even harder to endure.

"What? Are you still insisting? Or maybe... are you waiting for a savior?"

Seeing Xie Tianwan still being defiant at this time, Yun Xiao’s eyes flickered as he guessed something. At the next moment, a figure suddenly darted in from outside the crowd, quickly approaching Xie Tianwan.

"Tianwan, don’t be afraid, your master is here!"

Before everyone could recognize that figure, they heard this voice, which made their faces change slightly, as they now knew who Xie Tianwan’s teacher really was.

"Lu Tianwen!"

Shenxiao Sect’s genius, Nie Xiaosheng, had seen Lu Tianwen at the trade fair, so he inhaled sharply and called out this name, instantly making everyone around understand.

"For someone of the older generation to interfere in a contest among the younger generation, it seems somewhat improper, doesn’t it?"

An elderly prudent genius frowned and spoke, which made many others deeply agree. Lu Tianwen’s intervention might be seen as bullying the young with the old.

"Don’t forget, that guy isn’t just any ordinary young genius!"

However, when another lamenting remark reached the crowd’s ears, they were first stunned, then nodded vigorously, acknowledging that perhaps this was more reasonable.

As that person said, although Yun Xiao was indeed quite young, no one regarded him as an ordinary young genius anymore; there was a fundamental difference from the conventional young geniuses.

Not to mention that no one among the young geniuses could compare, even many of the older generation powerhouses couldn’t match Yun Xiao. Didn’t you see that even those from Shenxiao Sect, like Nie Xiaosheng, were considering placing him on the Heavenly List?

Even someone like Ye Ku or Nie Xiaosheng, top ordinary geniuses, were still struggling in the Earth Bending Realm, while that guy already had the qualification to compete for supremacy with the true top experts of the continent.

So after this person’s words, everyone deeply agreed, automatically preparing to enjoy the spectacle. Since bullying the young with the old wouldn’t work, perhaps the upcoming confrontation would be even more exciting.

"These two are indeed master and disciple, both equally despicable in their actions!"

On the other hand, the many geniuses of Lianyun Mountain naturally supported Yun Xiao. Lu Tianwen’s immediate intervention without saying a word, not even asking Yun Xiao, the party involved, caused them to feel resentment.

Earlier, Xie Tianwan’s use of poison crafted by others was already considered extremely despicable. Lu Tianwen’s actions now also showed that birds of a feather flock together; the master and disciple were cut from the same cloth, their conduct was quite similar.

"Mas... Master, save... save me!"

Amidst the extreme pain, Xie Tianwan caught a glimpse of the familiar figure and heard Lu Tianwen’s words, like a drowning man grasping a lifeline, knowing that his savior had finally arrived.

Regarding his teacher’s methods, Xie Tianwan was naturally extremely confident, believing that as long as his teacher intervened, the poison Yun Xiao inflicted on him could be easily resolved.

"Relax, mere poison, it’s not a problem!"

The one who arrived was precisely Lu Tianwen, and at this moment, he didn’t even glance at Yun Xiao, as if he didn’t exist. Upon saying this, the expressions of many geniuses from Lianyun Mountain became even more displeased.

This was supposed to be a Poison Vein competition among the younger generation, and this old fellow intervening without a word was more than just breaking the rules; it was blatantly abusing his seniority.

After all, earlier when Ye Ku or some other Poison Vein geniuses were poisoned, the elders from Lianyun Mountain did not intervene, let alone a Heavenly Rank Meridian Refining Master.

"Lu Tianwen, is this how you, as a Vice President of Spirit Fighting Commerce, conduct affairs?"

At this point, Ye Ku could no longer hold back, letting out a voice weakened by lack of strength, instantly gaining the support of many Lianyun Mountain disciples.

It’s worth mentioning that after the former Vice President Lu Tianrun’s death, Lu Tianwen had naturally been promoted to Vice President of Spirit Fighting Commerce upon his breakthrough.

And as the dignified Vice President, to be so shameless, if this spread, it would be disgraceful. Ye Ku intended to use this concern to deter Lu Tianwen from his intention to break the rules.

However, Ye Ku and others did not know that Lu Tianwen originally did not want to intervene, but he had no choice because he knew that if he didn’t act, Xie Tianwan wouldn’t last more than a quarter of an hour, and by then, Yun Xiao would certainly force out that secret.

Although when departing from Spirit Fighting Commerce, the important figure from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud did not specifically instruct him and his disciple to keep this secret.

But Lu Tianwen instinctively felt it was a great secret, at least one that outsiders besides Spirit Fighting Commerce were completely unaware of.

Not knowing the consequences of exposing this secret, Lu Tianwen naturally didn’t want to take this risk. If it displeased that important figure, not only would he and his disciple suffer, but perhaps the entire Spirit Fighting Commerce would meet disaster.

Driven by these thoughts, even though Lu Tianwen knew intervening in the dispute among the younger generation was inappropriate, he had no choice but to act at this moment.

His primary goal was to first neutralize the poison affecting Xie Tianwan, so this disciple could keep his mouth shut and not be coerced by that lad Yun Xiao into revealing the secret.

Just like Xie Tianwan, Lu Tianwen was also extremely confident in his own Meridian Refining Technique. He was a genuine Heavenly Rank Low Level Stage Meridian Refiner, only half a step away from breaking through to the Heavenly Rank Intermediate, making him a strong contender for this Meridian Refining Conference championship.

Lu Tianwen knew that Yun Xiao had already broken through to the Floating Life Realm Middle Stage, but it was apparent that the breakthrough occurred within the last two months. As for whether Yun Xiao’s Meridian Refining Technique had advanced to the Heavenly Rank level, he had his doubts.

Such a suspected Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master’s poison, Lu Tianwen was absolutely confident he could easily resolve it, also demonstrating to that young man what a Heavenly Rank Meridian Refining Master’s methods truly were.

Knowing that speaking more would lead to more errors, Lu Tianwen didn’t bother responding to Ye Ku’s questioning shout nor did he even glance that way. Instead, he reached out and lightly tapped various critical acupoints on Xie Tianwan’s body.

"Is that... the Heavenly Rank Pulse Array?"

Upon seeing Lu Tianwen’s actions, Ye Ku, who was at the level of Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Master, couldn’t help but focus his gaze, sensing a trace of Sky Power silently descending, precisely landing on Xie Tianwan.

The Meridian Array that could draw upon Sky Power as an aid was evidently at least of the Heavenly Rank Advanced level. It seemed Lu Tianwen, despite his confidence, did not underestimate Yun Xiao, deploying a Heavenly Rank Pulse Array right away.

"Heavenly Rank Pulse Array, is it?"

With Yun Xiao’s discerning eye, he naturally recognized the details of the Heavenly Rank Pulse Array at a glance; however, a playful gleam emerged in his eyes at this moment.

If it were merely an ordinary Heavenly Rank Low Level poison, Lu Tianwen’s Heavenly Rank Low Level Pulse Array might indeed work, but the poison he had just deployed originated from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. Even those not typically used were far beyond what these Meridian Refiners on Tenglong Continent could resolve.

This self-assured Lu Tianwen, relying on his formidable Meridian Refining skills and deploying this impressive Heavenly Rank Low Level Pulse Array, had no idea what kind of existence he was truly up against, and the upcoming scene would undoubtedly astonish him. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Expel the poison, begin!"

With the three words lightly uttered from Lu Tianwen’s mouth, the Pulse Array connecting dozens of acupoints, under the support of Sky Power, erupted with a powerful surge of energy.

This energy seemed to possess an extraordinarily special Devouring Power, making Xie Tianwan feel as if his entire body’s blood was about to be sucked out by that force at this moment.

However, Xie Tianwan knew it was his teacher employing a method to strip away all the poison invading his body. Thus, the poison he was afflicted with might be entirely resolved in one stroke.
