Chapter 1112: Chapter 113: The Thorny Rose

“Come on, my beauty, let me see what you’re made of!”

“In the future, when we share the same bed, I hope you can be as wild as you are in the arena.”

“Although with your human race status, you can’t occupy the position of main wife, I shall dote on you all the more!”

Cui Geng was unabashed and laughed wickedly, unbothered by the flickering anger in the eyes of the other prodigies around him.

Royalty of the Sea Clan wouldn’t fear creatures of the land, let alone human cultivators, even Long Aotian himself wasn’t significant in their eyes. This time, the Sea Clan particularly coveted the Purple Dragon Clan’s Bloodline Power.

Taking an additional concubine before taking away Long Xue might not be such a bad idea.

But to the ears of the prodigies, these words twisted into something else; this was a naked disparagement from the Sea Clan toward the human race, not even considering them as cultivators of the same level. To think of taking a disciple of a Super Sect as a concubine, how audacious was that?

“Bastard, are all the Sea Clan cultivators this arrogant?”

“No matter how impressive, in the end, aren’t you just cowering within your maritime domain, not daring to encroach upon our land in the slightest?”

“In the face of the seniors from all walks of life in our Central Origin Realm, your Sea Clan must also bow down and pay homage. What audacity do you have to be so insolent!”

The cultivators were completely displeased; they had a strong aversion to the Sea Clan to begin with and seeing Cui Geng expressing such disdainful remarks really angered them—they couldn’t tolerate any contempt for human cultivators!

“Heh, human cultivators are just as noisy as ever, only good at barking. When it comes to a real fight, they crumble like tofu dregs.”

“The Imperial Bloodline is no less formidable than the Dragon Race’s Purple-blood Lineage. Our families’ union through marriage is a match made in heaven. Honestly, this whole martial arts contest for a marital alliance is just a waste of time. Handing over Long Xue to our Sea Clan to continue the bloodline and combine powerful forces is indeed the most correct choice!”

“This is also for the consideration of future generations!”

From behind the crowd, a group of robed figures spoke unhurriedly, a breeze carrying with it the strong scent of the sea.

“Nonsense, your Sea Clan merely wishes to take the Dragon Race’s genius into your own hands, and yet you speak as if you are so righteous and virtuous. Where is your shame?”

The crowd erupted in rage, their glares at the robed figures growing fierce.

“Heh heh heh, if you’re worried about that, there’s no need. If the land also wishes to cultivate a splendid combination of top bloodlines, then why not have that girl give birth to a few more children? When the time comes, you can pick and choose whoever you take a fancy to from the land!”

The leading robed figure cackled strangely, his voice ancient—likely the leader of this delegation of Sea Clan cultivators.

“Fuck, this Sea Clan is somewhat sinister!”

Liu Jinshui whispered. In the eyes of these Sea Clan experts, there was only bloodline and talent; Long Xue was regarded entirely as an emotionless breeding machine, responsible solely for ceaselessly mating with the Sea Clan royalty to birth even more powerful descendants.

“Damn it, they’re truly inhuman. I thought only the Buddha Country didn’t regard people as humans, but it seems the Sea Clan are the same!”

“Just some small seafood dares to be so arrogant; let’s find an opportunity to deal with them later!”

Li Xiaobai was also furious.

“Heh, naturally. But that little fish dares to tease Second Senior Sister like this; his path is already narrow. I have a premonition he’ll die right here on the arena stage.”

Yang Chen put away the fan in his hand, his eyes flickering with a sinister light, intently watching the situation on the stage.

On the stage.

In stark contrast to the restless mood below, Ye Wushuang’s expression remained calm, her hands behind her back, standing motionless as if she hadn’t heard the other’s words.

Only the green fog around her was becoming increasingly thick.

Cui Geng didn’t move either; he was waiting for her to make the first move, and then, with the force of a thunderbolt, he would swiftly take her down, to showcase the might of the Sea Clan.

“Why aren’t you moving?”

“Could it be that you’re waiting for me to make a move?”

“Our clan’s offensive techniques are second to none in the world, if I strike first, you will have no chance. Beauty, you’d better cherish the opportunity your future husband is giving you. Otherwise, you’ll be pressed to the ground and rubbed to death by me!”

Cui Geng burst into laughter, but as he laughed, he suddenly felt something was off.

Why were his knees suddenly feeling weak?

His chest felt uncomfortable!

And his eyes were wet as if he was crying!

Reaching up to wipe them, blood streamed down!

In an instant, Cui Geng was struck with horror, his body violently shivering, Blood! It was blood!

He wasn’t crying tears, but bleeding blood!

He had been hit, already injured, yet even now he was oblivious as to how he had been struck, although he was well aware that his opponent belonged to the Five Poison Cult’s elite, and he knew the thick green mist emanating from this gentle woman was a deadly poison that would severely injure anyone upon contact.

But the problem was, he hadn’t made contact!

Despite his carefree appearance, he was actually very attentive, having noticed the movement of the green mist early on with no intention of it spreading his way, so how had he been struck?

“Cui Geng, I made my move early on, and I was wondering why you had not responded; it turns out you didn’t even realize that you were already on the brink of death from the poison.”

“Not being able to discern when I acted, the so-called elite of the Sea Clan is nothing more than this.”

Ye Wushuang remained with her hands clasped behind her back, a faint smile on her face, not only confusing Cui Geng but also the onlookers munching on melon seeds. Throughout it all, the green-dressed beauty hadn’t moved an inch, nor made any unusual moves, yet how had Cui Geng suddenly started bleeding from every orifice?

Thump!

Cui Geng’s legs gave in, and he collapsed to his knees, not by choice but because his legs had lost all feeling.

“How… How is this possible?”

“You haven’t touched me, how did you poison me?”

Cui Geng’s face was full of disbelief, blood gushing from his eyes like a fountain that he could not cover.

“Cui Geng, you only noticed the green poisonous miasma around me, but you failed to perceive that true poisons are colorless, odorless, and silent. Just a small Blinding Technique is enough to deceive and pass unnoticed. You still lack depth in your practice,” Ye Wushuang said, her hand covering her mouth as she giggled lightly, her extensive experience with poisons giving her insight into what others would guard against.

Diverting attention with a grand display of poisonous miasma around her while subtly introducing a colorless, odorless severe poison into the opponent’s body is the perfect strategy in using poisons.

She had thought this tactic might fail and had prepared many other means, yet to her surprise, a single test had already brought the man to his knees, leaving her somewhat disappointed. The vaunted genius of the Sea Clan seemed mighty but truly was just this.

“So it is, indeed, a master of poisons, and I underestimated you. However, the physical bodies of our Sea Clan are tougher than those of the Demonic Beasts. Though fierce, this poison will not kill me; a little circulation of the Bloodline Power can resolve it!”

“Beautiful girl, you have successfully enraged me. I shall make you utter tender cries within the chambers of our Imperial linage!”

Cui Geng’s face was fierce, layer upon layer of silver threads appeared on his body, scales emerging over his entire body, revealing his Bloodline Power. A terrifying aura spread out, intimidating in all directions, as the fearsome nature of a Sea Clan cultivator became increasingly evident at this moment.

“Heh heh, once I’ve neutralized this poison, I’ll let you truly understand what hell on earth is!”

Murderous intent and madness flashed in Cui Geng’s eyes.

To this, Ye Wushuang remained indifferent: “Young Cui is already poisoned, now immobile, do you think I would promote sportsmanship and wait for you to recover?”

Cui Geng’s pupils constricted: “You mean…”

“Exactly, I’m taking your life while you’re down!”

“Ever heard the saying ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’?”

Ye Wushuang smiled sweetly, but her strikes were lethal, a visible black and purple smoke shooting from her delicate alabaster hands, instantly engulfing Cui Geng.

Cui Geng: “I’m screwed…”
