Sorry, anyone who blocks my path to the championship will likewise be defeated by me. Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
Hmph. Do you think this old man is like those opponents you faced before? Such arrogant words. Today, this old man shall teach you a proper lesson.
Moreover, since you have grudges against Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, Underworld Palace, and Blood Moon Alliance, and my Star Poison Sect is their ally, this old man shall conveniently tidy you up on behalf of my allies today. If you lose your life, you have no one to blame but yourself for overreaching and daring to oppose Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, Underworld Palace, and Blood Moon Alliance.
With those words spoken, the Star Poison Sect elder immediately raised his palm.
Only then did Lin Yun notice that the cyan palm resembled a toad, covered in numerous poison glands. It looked utterly repulsive.
Lin Yun could not imagine what technique or secret manual he had cultivated to train his hand into such a state.
Blue Scale Palm, Ninth Layer.
The Star Poison Sect elder struck out with his palm. From the poison glands on his hand, vast quantities of green mist surged forth instantly, forming a wave of green fog that swept overwhelmingly towards Lin Yun.
The Star Poison Sect elder has actually used the ninth layer of Blue Scale Palm right from the start. In previous arena matches, he had at most used the eighth layer.
Who would have thought the Star Poison Sect elder had already mastered the ninth layer of Blue Scale Palm. Using the ninth layer straight away shows he truly fears Lin Yun’s strength and dares not be careless.
The onsite audience discussed fervently.
On the arena.
Seeing the incoming green mist, Lin Yun swiftly circulated his inner force and slashed fiercely at the sweeping green fog with his sword.
Whoosh.
The treasured sword cut into the green mist as if striking water, merely dispersing it.
The scattered green mist instantly enveloped Lin Yun.
This technique was truly impossible to guard against completely.
The enveloping mist contained bizarre toxins that drilled directly into Lin Yun’s body through the pores of his skin.
What eerie poison.
Lin Yun’s expression changed abruptly.
Typically, those who use poison, such as with poisoned concealed weapons, need the weapon to pierce the skin and inject the toxin.
Or they apply poison to a blade, wounding the skin so the toxin can enter.
Yet this poison could invade Lin Yun’s body directly through his pores without any external wound.
This Star Poison Sect elder’s mastery over poison had reached such a profound and terrifying level.
Once the toxin entered his body, Lin Yun immediately sensed its potency. It directly affected his nerves, muscles, inner force, and the normal functioning of his internal organs.
Lin Yun instantly felt breathing become difficult, as if someone were choking him. His senses of sight, smell, and hearing weakened in multiple ways. His vision blurred, his head spun, his muscles ached throughout his body, and a sensation of weakness spread.
All these effects would undoubtedly greatly impair Lin Yun’s combat strength.
Even though Lin Yun relied on his powerful late-stage Saint Body to resist the toxin, somewhat mitigating its effects.
Nevertheless, the influence of the toxin on Lin Yun remained significant.
One must realise that, with Lin Yun’s late-stage Saint Body realm, poisoning him was extremely difficult. Ordinary poisons would have no effect on him at all.
This alone showed how fierce the Star Poison Sect elder’s poison truly was.
Moreover, the toxin continued to spread. Its impact on him grew steadily stronger.
This is troublesome. Lin Yun’s face darkened sharply.
At this rate of spread, his condition would worsen progressively. His combat strength would decline continuously.
Yet at that moment, Lin Yun discovered that the Tree of Origin within his body suddenly radiated light. The special energy contained within the Tree of Origin swiftly flowed throughout his entire body.
Wherever this energy passed, the toxin immediately collapsed and dissipated.
It works as expected.
Feeling the Tree of Origin helping him purge the toxin, Lin Yun’s heart filled with wild joy.
Previously, the Tree of Origin had cleared toxins for Lin Yun. Just moments ago, he had wondered whether it could handle this particular poison.
The instant the thought crossed his mind, the Tree of Origin had already begun to take effect.
This poison was extremely potent and fierce. Yet the Tree of Origin could still eliminate it.
Lin Yun, you should feel proud. This ninth layer of Blue Scale Palm was originally reserved for the final championship contest. Now I have used it on you ahead of time. Even if you lose, you will have no regrets. The Star Poison Sect elder wore a sinister smile.
