Chương 5: Peak Douhuang Kill

"Little girl, shut up. Your seductive arts have no effect on me."

"I cultivate the Ruthless Yin Technique, and I have no interest in matters of men and women... So you should prepare to go and keep your mother company."

Elder Jin finished speaking quickly and then closed his eyes, ignoring her completely.

"Hmph! You're kidding me. You clearly want to possess me, but you're pretending to be indifferent. How mischievous."

"I will not die. I will wait... to tear you to pieces!"

Elder Jin never dreamed that when Cai Ni uttered the word "break," Xiao Yao's weapon was already about to smash into his head.

At that moment, I sensed danger; a heavy object, accompanied by a slight whistling sound, came from behind me.

"Who?" By the time he realized it, it was too late. He immediately forced the detoxification to stop, then turned around and struck out with his palm.

"Damn it! How could these useless idiots guard the door like that? Someone managed to sneak in and they didn't even notice!"

Faced with the threat of death, Elder Jin could only muster a little strength, but he couldn't care less about anything else; saving his life was the most important thing.

But what greeted him was a large, dark ruler.

boom!

When the palm and ruler touched, there was no explosive energy as expected, only a crisp metallic sound.

Then Xiao Yao was thrown out by the recoil and fell into the pool.

"A Dou Huang level expert is truly terrifying. Even if he can't unleash one-thousandth of his strength, it's enough to give me trouble."

Xiao Yao felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and he was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was in excruciating pain all over his body, and the Xuan Heavy Ruler was also knocked out of his hand.

"Is that old guy dead yet? If he hits me again, I'm really done for."

"Damn it, going all in without any fighting skills is just brute force."

Xiao Yao struggled to keep his body afloat.

As soon as they surfaced, they heard Elder Jin's scream.

"You! You!"

"ah!!"

Elder Jin, whose complexion had improved somewhat, turned black again, and his arms and even his entire body became as black as charcoal.

puff!!

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Elder Jin collapsed heavily to the ground and remained motionless.

"Dead?" Xiao Yao did not rush to the shore, but continued to float in the water to observe.

After observing for a while, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... the crisis is finally over."

Although the injury was quite severe, the body can still move, so it's fortunate that it wasn't serious.

"Hey! Aren't you coming up? He's already dead." The girl had regained her aloofness and said softly to Xiao Yao.

"I know he's dead, why are you rushing me?" Xiao Yao didn't stand on ceremony, after all, he didn't know the other party at all.

Xiao Yao picked up the Xuanzhong Ruler and carefully moved it next to Elder Jin's corpse.

He stared at the motionless corpse.

Suddenly, he raised the heavy ruler in his hand and smashed it down on his head and body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"This is for Aunt Zhang..."

"This is for Uncle Qiao..."

"This is for the little dumpling..."

"This is for the villagers..."

He smashed it several times before stopping, wiping the sweat from his face.

He plopped down on the ground.

Although the villagers were not his relatives, they treated him well. It was the villagers who saved him, helped him live, and took care of him when he was young, which allowed him to barely survive.

Thinking of the villagers I greeted yesterday, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

The crisis was finally resolved.

"I actually killed a peak Dou Huang expert! I can say I've avenged everyone." With the crisis over, Xiao Yao relaxed.

"That's insane! Desecrating a corpse! You think your few moves are effective? With your mere one-star Dou Shi strength?"

"His real cause of death was that you interrupted his detoxification process. That was at the crucial moment, which caused the detoxification to fail, and he was killed by the deadly poison."

"Quickly untie me and let me out."

"Hey! Did you hear me?"

"You? What are you doing?"

Ignoring the girl's cries, Xiao Yao first used a rag to cushion his hand and then removed Elder Jin's ring.

He walked to the table and found a jade bottle: a healing pill!

He opened his mouth and stuffed the pill inside.

Then I began to meditate to recover from my injuries.

Seeing Xiao Yao like this, Cai Ni also stopped shouting and quieted down.

Soon, Xiao Yao opened his eyes, his face full of excitement.

"The effects of a third-grade pill are really good. In just a short while, my injuries have completely healed. It would be worth several thousand gold coins in the outside world." He stretched his muscles and bones, feeling the changes in his body.

"Hmph! Mere third-grade pills, they've never seen anything like it."

"If you rescue me, I promise to give you a reward far more precious than this elixir. You probably overheard our conversation. I am the next empress of the Snake-People clan, and I guarantee you wealth and honor."

Seeing that he had finally recovered from his injuries, Cai Ni quickly spoke up, displaying an arrogant and haughty demeanor, completely behaving like a young lady from a wealthy family, no longer showing the despair and embarrassment she had just felt.

Xiao Yao ignored her and walked to the large white flower in the center.

Only then did Xiao Yao truly see the situation here.

This is not a large white flower at all; it is clearly a flower composed of white skulls, its entire body as white as jade and shimmering with luster.

Inside is a skull, half of which is missing and has been replaced by the shape of a bowl.

Inside was a handful of dark green, cold water, with a chill permeating its surface.

"That snake... it's not the Ten Thousand Bone Poison Ice!"

"The real Ten Thousand Bones Poison Ice should be... this handful of icy water! Am I right, Empress Cai Ni?"

As Xiao Yao finished speaking, he turned his head to the side and looked at the incredibly beautiful girl.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How would I know anything about Ten Thousand Bone Poison Ice? Didn't you hear that it was my mother, the Queen, who told him this on her deathbed?" Cai Ni said with a puzzled look.

It was as if all of this had nothing to do with her.

but!

Xiao Yao was certain that she knew the ins and outs of this.

"Not going to talk? You just said you're still a virgin? The snake-woman queen will still be devoted to the man who took her body."

"That alluring charm you exuded just now was truly wonderful. Well, once you become my woman, you should be more obedient, right...? Hehe!"

His two sentences did have some effect.

"Hmph! How old are you? You're just a little kid, don't try to scare me."

"I am the current queen of the Snake People. If you dare to touch me, I will kill you." Cai Ni's feigned composure betrayed her true feelings.

"Oh? Then rape and kill me first, there's no need to keep you alive!" Xiao Yao made a move to walk towards Cai Ni.

"Stop! You! Don't come any closer!"

"I'll tell you the truth!"

In her panic, Cai Ni blurted out that she was truly afraid.

Having barely escaped the crisis, I thought I could easily subdue a mere fighter, but this guy doesn't do things the way people do.

"But you have to promise to get me out of here before I tell you."

"It seems you're not in a position to negotiate with me, are you?"

"If you don't agree, I won't tell you even if it means death."

Seeing Cai Ni's stubbornness, Xiao Yao didn't dare to really do anything to her.

He couldn't afford to offend the snake people, but if he saved her, he could gain some benefits and she would owe him a favor, which might be very useful.
