Chapter 86: We Fell into Their Trap [Third Update!]
This was Chu Yang's first battle in the last three days!
Three moves!
In just three moves, the lord-level third tier Ma Laosan had already been defeated! Although there were other factors involved, Chu Yang's cultivation level had indeed undergone a tremendous transformation!
The lord-level third tier was, at the time when Chu Yang was a warrior, an existence that was utterly unattainable! Even then, an Imperial Throne was a legend of the lower heavens. But now, the lord-level third tier had fallen to his hands.
Ma Laosan's figure vanished like a flash of light.
The rising dust slowly settled, revealing Chu Yang’s silhouette. Looking in the direction where Ma Laosan had disappeared without a trace, Chu Yang let out a long sigh of relief.
Once the dust settled, Chu Yang found that he was also covered in wounds, bloodstains everywhere. He gasped in pain, looking at the injuries on his body, gulping down vitality spring water, then applying it to his wounds. Each application caused him to frown in agony.
“Lord-level expert, indeed extraordinary!” Chu Yang sighed deeply, feeling more and more that his path ahead was arduous. Although his strength had increased rapidly, he still felt small and weak.
“I really don’t know how many such experts Chu Feilong has invited this time,” Chu Yang frowned in thought. “How can I capture all of them in one go?”
After pondering for a long time, he found himself at a loss, so he continued to think deeply while slowly walking back.
During the battle just now, it seemed effortless, but Chu Yang knew very well how much advantage he had taken.
He cleverly laid down the perfume, causing Ma Laosan's consciousness to be affected without him realizing it. Although Ma Laosan had deep cultivation and a natural resistance to such things, at the very least, his thought process would not be as clear as before.
And this was merely Chu Yang’s first step. The effect he sought from this first step was just to make Ma Laosan’s thoughts a bit muddled under the influence of the perfume.
Then, after a period of time, feeling that the effect of the perfume was wearing off, he unleashed a dispersing fog. The dispersing fog, as the name suggests, was a type of toxic mist capable of silently dispersing a person's power. After combining with the perfume, the effect would far exceed that of ordinary dispersing powder.
The combination of these two types of toxic mists formed the first mixed poison.
And this first mixed poison caused Ma Laosan’s lord-level cultivation to drop by a whole tier without him being aware of it!
It was only after entering the small grove that he spread the soul-snatching mist! The soul-snatching mist was the most domineering toxic mist, eroding a person's consciousness. However, if this soul-snatching mist were used from the start, it would easily be noticed, so the perfume had to be used as a precursor.
The combination of the soul-snatching mist and the perfume formed the second mixed poison. When the soul-snatching mist and the dispersing fog were further combined, it became the third mixed poison!
Perfume, dispersing fog, soul-snatching mist—when these three were combined, they formed a unique super mixed poison that hadn’t been revealed in the world for over eighty thousand years since the first Nine Calamity Sword Master!
This kind of lethal and invisible malicious technique was the ‘three steps, one kill’ that the first Nine Calamity Sword Master had employed effectively!
For such an extraordinary killing technique that had vanished from the Nine Heavens for eighty thousand years, Ma Laosan was utterly unaware, accepting it step by step. By the time Chu Yang determined to strike, Ma Laosan's cultivation had already dropped to a level below lord-level first rank without him realizing it!
But having first been affected by the perfume, followed by the soul-snatching mist, how could his muddled consciousness perceive anything?
Next, this Chu Yang, who should have been a ‘useless person with no strength to tie a chicken’, unexpectedly unleashed the power of the sword emperor like a blade in the air! This caught Ma Laosan off guard, leading to severe damage to his eyesight.
