“Damn it, I refuse to believe this! Take another palm strike!”
“Blue Scale Palm, ninth level!”
The Star Poison Sect elder struck out with his palm once more. The poison glands on his hand surged, releasing a massive wave of green mist that rolled towards Lin Yun like a tidal surge, enveloping him completely.
“Come on then!”
Lin Yun stood firmly in place, allowing the poison to surround him.
As the toxin entered his body, the Tree of Origin continued to purge it rapidly.
Lin Yun did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, he waited for the Tree of Origin to clear the poison first.
He was in no hurry anyway.
“Kid, I don’t believe you can hold out after taking two doses of my poison!”
“Die for me!”
The elder roared in fury. He swung his green staff again, smashing viciously towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun swiftly raised his sword to meet the strike.
Clang!
With the explosion of the clash, the Star Poison Sect elder failed to gain any advantage. Instead, he was shaken by the terrifying force and forced to stagger backwards once more.
“Damn it, what… what on earth is going on!”
The elder’s face turned extremely grim.
He had just used the ninth level of the Blue Scale Palm.
He had absolute confidence in the toxicity of its ninth level. It was his greatest trump card for contending for the peak tournament championship.
Before facing Lin Yun, he had not even needed the ninth level to defeat contestants from other top forces.
In his view, no matter how strong Lin Yun was, unleashing the ninth level should have easily stripped him of most of his combat strength.
Lin Yun looked at the elder, grinned, and said,
“Perhaps your poison just isn’t up to much. How about… you try a few more palms? I won’t move. I’ll let you poison me freely.”
As soon as these words came out, the corner of the elder’s eye twitched violently.
Even the spectators at the scene erupted in uproar.
Who would ever make such an outrageous request?
To the Star Poison Sect elder, these words were nothing less than naked provocation.
“You… you…”
“Kid, I’ll grant your wish! If you die from too much poison, you’ll have brought it on yourself!”
“Blue Scale Palm, ninth level!”
His face flushed red with rage, the elder finally unleashed the move again.
A vast amount of green mist surged forth, forming another green tidal wave that enveloped Lin Yun once more.
This was the third time the Star Poison Sect elder had used this technique.
After unleashing it, beads of sweat already covered his forehead.
As this wave of poison rushed in and entered Lin Yun’s body, the previous dose had already been mostly neutralised. The Tree of Origin immediately began detoxifying again.
“Star Poison Sect elder, perhaps you didn’t hear me clearly. I said several more palms. That was only one. Come on, a few more. Otherwise, it still won’t work.” Lin Yun said with a beaming smile.
Then his tone shifted. “However, looking at you, it seems you’ve already reached your limit?”
These words made the elder’s heart tremble.
Although the ninth level of the Blue Scale Palm was powerful, it consumed an enormous amount of energy for the elder to activate.
Using it three times in succession had nearly pushed him to his limit. A fourth time would be extremely difficult.
“It seems I’ve guessed correctly. Ah, what a pity. I was hoping you’d do it a few more times, but you’re already spent. You really need to train harder.” Lin Yun shook his head and sighed.
While Lin Yun spoke to him, the Tree of Origin’s detoxification never stopped.
In just this short exchange, a great deal more poison had already been cleared.
“You… you bastard!”
The elder roared in uncontrollable rage.
Lin Yun’s words were far too humiliating.
“Since you can’t keep going, it’s my turn to make a move!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yun stamped his foot and charged forward.
“Three Yang Slash!”
The precious sword carried astonishing power as it crushed towards the Star Poison Sect elder. All his techniques erupted simultaneously.
Facing such an assault, the elder had no choice but to brace himself and meet it head-on.
Clang, clang, clang!
With every collision, the elder was forced back repeatedly, his insides churning violently.
Lin Yun, on the other hand, grew fiercer with each strike, one move stronger than the last.
The reason was simple. The poison was still being continuously purged.
“Why! Why is this happening!”
The elder, retreating nonstop, roared hysterically.
He simply could not understand why his immensely powerful ninth-level Blue Scale Palm had so little effect on this kid.
Finally, under the overwhelming force of Lin Yun’s sword, blood sprayed from the elder’s mouth. He was nearly blasted to the edge of the arena platform and sent flying straight off it.
