Against The Gods
Chapter 190 – Killed By Poison

Under Yun Che's healing, although Chu Yuechan's meridians were still not recovered, her body's state was already much better. His face, which was originally as white as paper, had already recovered from some of his original colors. However, his entire body was still paralyzed, and only his right arm and right hand could move slightly. In this extremely dangerous place, in order for Yun Che to protect her well, he had to remain by her side.

For every meal, Chu Yuechan could not eat much and a small bowl of fish soup was enough. Chu Yuechan, who had finished drinking the fish soup, closed her eyes gently and lay on Yun Che's chest with a peaceful expression… .Even he himself was unaware, that this ease he felt, was beyond what he felt when he meditated in seclusion in the sect.

In these five months, most of his time was spent sleeping. The only thing he spent more time besides sleeping, was in Yun Che's arms. From the first rejection, the acceptance is gradual, and finally completely accustomed. Once he got used to it, he would involuntarily hate leaving her… . But this concept of "wanting to stay close" was completely foreign to Chu Yuechan, because before Yun Che, she had never lived alone with any man, let alone had intercourse. But this time, they actually lived inseparable and close to each other for nearly five months. To Chu Yuechan, this was truly unimaginable.

No one knew what frame of mind he had in interacting with Yun Che, and even he himself did not know.

“Sleep soundly for a moment. Soon, we will be able to leave this place. And at that time, all your strength will recover." Yun Che patted Chu Yuechan's pale back lightly, his voice soft, like he was coaxing a baby to sleep.

Not too long after, Chu Yuechan's breathing became light and even, and she fell asleep.

Yun Che kept the thing in his hands, and stood up while carrying Chu Yuechan. In the future, he spoke, "Jasmine, how long have we been here?"

“Today is the first hundred and forty days." Jasmine answered correctly.

"… That means, it's less than a month from the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament." Yun Che furrowed his brows as his heart grew a little impatient. He had promised Lan Xueruo that he would return within half a year. Now, more than five months had passed, but he was still stuck in this trial area. After five months had passed, he was already used to this place. To complete this ordeal, all he needed was time. But in order to leave this place, he would still have to kill ten thousand more beasts. These profound beasts could not be killed as they pleased, as one of them was all a genuine Spirit Profound Beast.

Also, after the second stage of the trial, there was still the third stage.

After coming out of the trial, it would still take a long time to get out of the Wasteland of Death, and after walking out of the Wasteland of Death, even if he was traveling day and night, he said, it would still take at least five days worth of time to return to Blue Wind Imperial City…

If he did not leave this place as quickly as possible, he would not be able to make it to the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, and he would not be able to fulfill his promise towards Xueruo.

“It looks like I have to speed up. Even if I die, I will still have to finish killing the profound beasts here in ten days!" Yun Che frowned and said.

"Ten days? Hmph, what a joke are you doing! To complete this trial, you still have to kill sixteen thousand beasts. If you want to finish it in ten days, you must kill at least one thousand and six hundred every day! In these five months, you have only killed an average of six hundred ferocious Beasts every day, and this is already your maximum speed after you go all out. Killing sixteen thousand ferocious beasts in ten days was absolutely impossible… . If you get ahead of yourself because of impatience and loss of composure, you'll probably get killed by a deep savage beast." Jasmine warned.

Yun Che had no way of fighting it.

"ROBBING!!"

Suddenly, and a deafening growl came from far behind him. This voice made Yun Che frown, and then muttered darkly, “Sial! Why is this person again, arguably like a spirit left behind that will not leave! ”

Just then, without thinking, Yun Che ran over. Not too long later, a gigantic horned beast rampaged past where he was, carrying a raging aura as it rushed towards him.

Even though he had stayed here for the past five months, and had survived by killing ferocious beasts that far surpassed him at the level every day, he had survived, yun Che's profound strength still remained at the fourth level of the True Profound Realm. It was not that his profound energy showed no signs of breaking through, but rather that he continued to forcefully suppress it, not allowing it to break through. This was because, when a great power made a breakthrough, he would not be able to move for a short period of time, and could not be bothered by anything, or his meridians would be easily damaged. Within this endless wilderness that was filled with danger, not only would he not be able to be guarded by anyone when he broke through, but Chu Yuechan would also be exposed to the same dangerous environment. Because of that, the breakthrough in his profound strength had been suppressed all along.

Otherwise, with how he killed far above his level every day and night, and how the fifty-four of his veins opened, in five months, it would not be excessive if his profound strength could rise to the eighth level of the True Profound Realm.

Even though he had not broken through all this while, his profound energy was growing more and more, and even if he did not possess the strength of the four great gods, he did not, his profound strength far surpassed that of an average practitioner at the fourth level of the True Profound Realm.

The profound beast that was chasing after him was named the Single Horned Beast Master, and it was an extremely profound beast of the sixth level of the Profound Spirit Realm. It had great strength and an extremely formidable body. That was, in addition to its strong and solid defense made it difficult for Yun Che to damage it even with the Dragon Fault. If Chu Yuechan was not by Yun Che's side, he could still deal with her, but with one hand around Chu Yuechan, he could only wield a sword with one hand and it was impossible for him to be a match for the Great Lord. The single horned beast.

That was why Yun Che would run away every time he met this person.

The Broken Shadow Star God was one example of a profound movement skill and not a type of long-term speed increase skill, so it would not cause Yun Che's speed to increase by much. However, Yun Che would usually carry a sword that weighed four thousand kilograms. Therefore, when he needed to escape, all he had to do was throw the sword at the Celestial Poison Pearl, and his body would feel as if it was floating. Escaping would also be lightning fast, and shaking this Overlord Single Horned Beast in just a matter of minutes.

Just as Jasmine's voice fell, a cliff appeared in front of Yun Che's line of sight. His brows furrowed and his speed suddenly decreased as both of his legs were planted firmly into the ground. After gliding for a while, he finally stopped dangerously at the end of the cliff. But for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because looking down, the cliff was actually not high and not even a hundred and fifty meters tall, so he could easily jump down. There was no dangerous place under the cliff as well, it was just a very dense forest.Maybe the forest would be a better term for it, because in front of his eyes, it was, each tree merged into the next one, and even though he was standing at a high vantage point, he still could not fully see the end of it.

“That's a field area, why would there be a forest." Yun Che muttered and was about to jump down, when suddenly, a dangerous piece of strong wind came from his right side.

Yun Che glanced to the side and his right arm stretched out like lightning as two fingers forcefully pinched the thin, cold, and slippery object.

It was a Black Serpent Snake that was not very long and only half as thick as his finger. The seven inches was grabbed tightly by Yun Che and it struggled in pain, spitting out darkness.

"Black Serpent Emperor!" Yun Che, who was proficient in all the poisons present in the world, recognized the poisonous snake in an instant.

Emperor Black Thread Snake was extremely thin and short, and his body was extremely weak. Even if a normal child accidentally stepped on it, it would also be trampled to death. But a snake as small and weak as this was crowned "Emperor", and was actually an expensive Profound Spirit Beast! This was because it had a toxicity and speed that was extremely frightening despite its size. All who came into contact with his poisonous fangs, as long as they were under the Profound Spirit Realm, would undoubtedly die within ten breaths of time. Even if those in the Profound Spirit Realm were bitten by it, they would not be able to live for more than an hour without the antidote. Also, due to its small size, it is very difficult to find. When it moved, it resembled a black flash, so people did not have the chance to guard it. All Spirit Profound Beasts, and even Earth Profound Beasts that encountered them had to take a detour, lest they be late.

With the Sky Poison Pearl inside him, even if Yun Che was bitten by it, he would still not be affected at all. Staring at this Black Snake Emperor, he suddenly turned to face the Single Horned Beast Master who was already chasing towards him. Sliding the Serpent Snake Black Thread Emperor from his right hand to his left, he used the Sky Poison Pearl to directly suck out all of his poison, and then, disposing of it, disposing of it, he took out the Tiger Soul Sword which he had not used in a long time, and wiped the poison onto the Tiger Soul Sword sword.

"…It seems that this is the first time you have used poison after the Sky Poison Pearl's poison disappeared. ”Looking at the tip of the Tiger Soul Sword, the tragic sight of a large area of corpses resulting from releasing poison into the entire city that year flashed across his mind. His gaze was secretly darkened by the boys, and he then rushed towards the Overlord Single Horned Beast like a storm.

Seeing that the human who normally escaped the moment he saw him suddenly rushed there this time, the Overlord Single Horned Beast stopped in confusion for a bit, and then, with a roar, it, it exposed its fangs and pounced towards Yun Che

Whooshing sound!

The claws of the Single-Horned Beast Overlord shot out at one of Yun Che's illusory shadows, while Yun Che moved horizontally from that place. Rushing there from his right side, he gathered his profound strength onto the Tiger Soul Sword and ruthlessly slashed down on his right side, leaving behind a two-inch scratch, leaving enough wounds to draw blood.

Yun Che stopped and the Tiger Soul Sword in his hand was already saved, and was exchanged for the Dragon Mistake.

With the massive size of the Single-Horned Beast Overlord, this small injury was not even considered an injury at all. The Overlord Single-Horned Beast, which had leaped into the sky, turned around and opened its huge mouth as its body pounced towards Yun Che again. However halfway through, his front legs suddenly wrapped around, and his entire body fell to the ground firmly. After which, he started twitching, and his four limbs began to be trampled on the ground, yet he was able to stand back no matter what. Slowly, a wave of exclamations of pain came from his mouth. From that small wound, a jet-black droplet of blood flowed slowly.

Yun Che rushed over, and with a single blow, shattered his deep defenses that had weakened under the extremely poisonous corrosion. After that, he continuously rained seven to eight blows on his head, until it was not heard from again.

"We also don't know when the toxicity of the Sky Poison Pearl will recover." Yun Che could not help but sigh. Relying on just a little poison, he could finish off this Single-Horned Beast Overlord so that he could only escape from before without much effort. As for how powerful the poison was, he was clearer than everyone else. That year, he wasn't even thirty yet, but he lived for a full seven years amidst all the pursuits and assassinations across the continent. What he relied on, was the toxicity of the Sky Poison Pearl. Under the poison of the Heavenly Poison Sect, countless experts whose strength far exceeded Yun Che by many times, and even the extremely powerful all died under his hands.

"If the Sky Poison Pearl still had its poisonous power, then in this trial, when the heavenly poison spread, let alone ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine profound beasts, it would be the same, even if the numbers were ten times that amount, they would all still be poisoned to death by dusk. "Said Yun Che with extreme emotion.

As a Profound Treasure, the invincible aspects of the Sky Poison Pearl provided more than just its temperament and refinement.

Wait... The heavenly poison is spreading?

Yun Che's mind suddenly changed, and he looked towards the boundless forest below the cliff. In a moment, he slowly started to smile.

"Jasmine, are you sure we will be able to leave this place today if we are lucky.”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
