Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 453: Break

Translator:?_Tat_??Editor:?Fish_Creek

Inside the battle ring, a cloud of green poison wrapped around Ta Ba Feng’s arm and the color on every audience’s face was changed.

Even the Seventh Princess frowned and stepped backwards a few steps.

However, against this strange poison, Ling Xian’s expression was as calm as ever and did not show a trace of care.

Against mere poison, he truly had the right to not care.

Seeing this, Ta Ba Feng’s eyes glazed over, “Fella, poison is one of the most mysterious form of art, why are you treating this so lightly?”

“I do not deny how mysterious poison is. But so what? For me, it’s a small trick.” Ling Xian revealed a soft smile and ignored Ta Ba Feng.

If any other completion levelled powerhouse stepped out, he would treat him serious. But this man was using poison. No matter how terrifying he was, Ling Xian didn’t need to be afraid. Remember, he had the Flame of Purity!

This flame is known to be protective against all poisons! There is no exaggeration about this!

However, nobody here knew about this. After he showed his disdain, everyone glared at him the way they glared at corpses. They were certain Ling Xian will die.

“What a presumptuous boy. I will give you a taste of my poison today!”

Feeling how little Ling Xian cared, Ta Ba Feng snickered. The green cloud of poison around his arm expanded and hurriedly chased after Ling Xian.

In that instant, everyone stepped back for meters, terrified of getting the poison on themselves.

However, Ling Xian had a grin on his face. He did not dodge nor did he display any techniques. He simply stood there calmly and let the cloud circle him.

The green cloud tumbled and the poison seeped all around. Nothing could be seen clearly anymore.

“Haha, you are the first to try and undermine my poison. I admire your stupidity.”

Ta Ba Feng laughed out loud. His face was deep of arrogance and taunt. He thought Ling Xian was as stupid as one can get.

Everyone sighed and shook his heads, exclaiming about how stupid Ling Xian was.

“He doesn’t look like an idiot. Why did he do something so idiotic? It was green poison! He really thought he could just walk through it? He’s seeking death.”

“Exactly. Green poison is very aggressive. Inhaling it a little bit results in the breakage of veins.”

“That’s right. The poison is very dangerous. Even those at the peak of the foundational level cannot treat it lightly. This guy just breathed it in willingly, is this something normal people would do?”

Everyone chimed in with a tone of sarcasm. Many people were already preparing to leave.

This was because the power balance was loud and clear. A completion levelled cultivator of the intermediate stage dies after inhaling green poison. There are no alternatives.

Even the Seventh Princess sighed and shook her head. She didn’t dare to continue watching, terrified that she will witness him dying.

However, just as everyone decided that Ling Xian was dead, the green fog dispersed. A calm but arrogant statement arose.

“I told you, against me, poison is just a small trick.”

The fog dissipated. Ling Xian’s black hair fluttered in the wind and his expression was collected. He wasn’t bleeding. In fact, he wasn’t even showing a trace of abnormality. He simply looked like a god who cannot be bothered by what others find dangerous!

Instantly, everyone’s eyes widened and they fell into a state of confusion.

Unharmed?

How… how is this possible?!

Everyone’s gaze shifted towards Ling Xian, full of disbelief.

To know that this is the infamous green smoke that is known for its fatality. Even those at the peak of completion level will rot when this poison touch their bodies. Yet Ling Xian showed no abnormality after being surrounded by this and breathed it in. How unbelievable was this?

Everyone was shocked. They did not think that under the embrace of the green poison, he would be unharmed. As much as they were surprised, they were also in disbelief.

The one who had the hardest time with this was Ta Ba Feng. He was the creator of the green poison and thus knew how dominating this poison was. Seventeen years ago, he used this poison to attack a clan and killed eight completion levelled cultivators and more than 200 foundational cultivators!

This alone showed how terrifying this poison was!

Yet before him, Ling Xian was utterly unharmed and was standing here like a God. How could he accept this?

“Impossible. My poison is dangerous and powerful. How can you not be hurt?”

Ta Ba Feng refused to believe it as he stared deadly at Ling Xian, hoping to find a trace of harm to prove to himself that his poison was effective.

Pity though, no matter how much he manipulated his Qi, he could not find any trace of irregularity on Ling Xian. This caused him to be desperately and his confidence broke down a little.

The green poison was a poison he spent years developing. It has always been his killer move and it had given him the right to look down on everyone else!

Yet here and now, this attack was useless against Ling Xian. How could he not feel the impact?

“How’s it not possible. Like I said, poison is useless against me.”

Ling Xian’s expression was calm as he glanced around. Every single completion levelled cultivator didn’t dare to exchange glances with him. One, they were stunned by him. Two, they were ashamed.

They treated Ling Xian with coldness and rudeness in the beginning. They thought he was dead for sure. Yet now, reality was before them. This proved that Ling Xian was not stupid, was not arrogant, he was simply capable!

How could they not feel capable after this?

“Impossible. I do not believe this.”

Ta Ba Feng clenched his teeth as he once again manipulated the poison Dan inside him. Another cloud of green poison appeared and crawled towards Ling Xian.

“Stupid.”

Uttering out one word, Ling Xian stayed like last time. He allowed the poison to enter his body.

Then, the Flame of Purity inside him began to swirl around. As if they just encountered something very delicious, they ate the poison clean.

The green poison was truly fatal. For normal people, breathing it in a little will result in death. But to Ling Xian, who had the Flame of Purity, it was nothing.

A flick of the finger will solve the problem.

“Stop trying. Give it up.”

Against the shocked Ta Ba Feng, Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He had a cold and mocking smile.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand. A silver flame arose.

In that instant, the temperature in this area shot up, making this battle ring feel like lava.

As the flame flared up, everyone was petrified.

Only after a long while, did they find themselves and they gulped.

Ta Ba Feng, especially, revealed how fearful he felt. Staring at the silver flame, he subconsciously stepped back.

It was obvious how terrified he was.
