CHAPTER 575: FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE, ISN’T IT TOO LATE TO THINK ABOUT ESCAPING NOW?

"Ha, you Wang Yidao aren’t qualified to kill my disciple!"

Just as Yun Xiao tried to use his last strength to withstand the lethal strike from Wang Yidao, a cold and familiar voice suddenly sounded by his ear, causing all his strength to seem to vanish in that moment.

The speaker was naturally Yu Shu, the current Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect. To be honest, ever since the misfortune began, he felt extremely aggrieved, possessing extraordinary strength but being helpless due to the severe poisoning from Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance.

For such an Earth Rank poison, Yu Shu had already despaired, thinking that even if it could be cured, it would take a considerable amount of time, and by then, perhaps the Jade Pot Sect would no longer exist.

Even with the antidote provided by Yun Xiao, Yu Shu held little hope, but this was the last chance for the Jade Pot Sect, and he had to try treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

It was not until the Detoxification Pill took effect that Yu Shu faced another worry: could he neutralize the Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance poison before the Luoyi Sect could no longer hold on?

In fact, even with the aid of the powerhouse from the Luoyi Sect, relying on this sect alone, they couldn’t hold on for long, certainly not until they could get rid of the poison.

At this moment, Yun Xiao stood up, successively killing the geniuses from three major forces, provoking Qingshan Sect, Wang Family, and Wang Yidao to angrily intervene, greatly reducing the pressure on the Luoyi Sect and finally carving out a slim chance of survival.

Thus, Yu Shu felt extremely grateful to Yun Xiao; with his intelligence, how could he not know that his disciple was using his life to buy time for him and the Great Elders?

Initially, Yu Shu had taken Yun Xiao as his Direct Disciple to balance the Medical Pulse and Poison Vein, and he admitted that over the past two years, he hadn’t taught Yun Xiao much.

With the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion, Yun Xiao could have left directly since no one present could fly, naturally they couldn’t stop him.

But now, with the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion holding back their strongest enemy, Ran Xing, Yun Xiao had gambled his life for a chance of survival, and Yu Shu’s feelings were beyond description.

It must be said Yun Xiao’s luck was not bad; at this critical moment of life and death, Yu Shu was the first to fully neutralize the poison of Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance, arriving just before Yun Xiao’s head was to be blown apart.

Bang!

In a furious strike containing his half-step Earth Rank power and inducing a trace of Earth Power, Yu Shu’s attack clashed with Wang Yidao’s punch, creating a loud noise.

As the leader of the three major sects, Yu Shu, the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect, indeed surpassed Wang Yidao in strength, and this clash forced the Family Head of Wang Family to retreat several steps, his face showing a trace of shock.

"Damn it, didn’t Ran Xing say that the Earth Rank Poisonous Incense was unsolvable in the Hidden Dragon Continent? How did Yu Shu recover so quickly?"

Feeling his blood churning inside, Wang Yidao couldn’t help but curse inwardly, thinking of how Ran Xing had boasted about his potent poison, and yet it was neutralized so easily.

Seeing Yu Shu appearing here, whether it was the Elder from the Qingshan Sect or the people from the Song Family, all were surprised, and their gaze quickly shifted to a certain place.

On seeing this, everyone felt a surge of anger towards Ran Xing, especially Fu Du, the Second Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, whose eyes filled with disbelief.

Similarly a Poison Vein Master, Fu Du had once studied the Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance thoroughly; although he hadn’t found anything substantial, he knew it was perhaps even more potent than his own Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s poison.

So, Fu Du was confident that Yu Shu and others poisoned by the Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance, even with an antidote, wouldn’t survive today’s ordeal.

Yet, who would have thought that in such a short time, Yu Shu had regained his ability to act and even forced the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm, Wang Yidao, to retreat several steps, showing no sign of severe poisoning?

"It was that kid Yun Xiao!"

Fu Du’s mind worked rapidly, and with a slight pondering, he figured out where the problem lay. After all, Yun Xiao had previously cured Earth Rank level poisons twice.

Once for Li Shan and once for the Second Prince of the Royal Family, Xuan Jing—these two incidents were not too unfamiliar to those affiliated with the Jade Pot Sect, as they could be regarded as the two displays of Yun Xiao’s strong rise.

But Fu Du couldn’t fathom how Yun Xiao had neutralized this Earth Rank Poisonous Incense; he hadn’t seen Yun Xiao make any move. Could this kid’s detoxification skill have grown to a level powerful beyond visibility?

The puzzle of Fu Du on this side was unsolvable, while following behind Yu Shu, Lu Zhan, Li Shan, Su He and others’ Poisonous Incense had also dissipated. It must be said that Yun Xiao’s misfit detoxification pill still had a decent effect.

Having been unbearably repressed, the strong practitioners of the Medical Pulse line of the Jade Pot Sect regained their strength, and their combat power erupted even more ferociously than usual.

Now that the enemies of the three major forces had all gone to attack Yun Xiao, when the strong warriors of the Jade Pot Sect joined Luoyi Sect in the battle, the situation unexpectedly began to turn around.

However, the team leader Yan Chun did not despair. Seeing an opportunity, he shouted loudly, "Yang Lin Elder, you and the Family Heads of both the Song and Wang Families, hold back Yu Shu together, everyone else, turn back here immediately, let’s first take down these stubborn old fellows!"

In Yan Chun’s words, he was asking the three major forces to no longer focus on the severely injured Yun Xiao. Yu Shu, who had not yet reached the Earth Rank Realm, was not unbeatable on the spot. It was already quite an honor for this Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect to be besieged by three Peak Spirit Vein Realm experts.

At this moment, although Song Hao and Wang Yidao’s hatred towards Yun Xiao for killing their sons had not lessened by a bit, they knew the urgency and importance of matters, and no longer acted solely on loyalty as before.

So a moment later, Yang Lin, Song Hao, and Wang Yidao, were already positioned in a triangulated stance, surrounding Yu Shu, while the other strong warriors from the three major forces quickly returned to the nearby battlezone, all except for one person.

This person was Yao Shi, the Second Elder of Qingshan Sect and one who had just broken through to the Peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, also a prominent figure in Qingshan.

Speaking of this Second Elder of the Qingshan Sect, he once had a proud disciple named Fei Yan, who was kicked into unconsciousness by Yun Xiao during a challenge against the Jade Pot Sect and had been recuperating for so long without improvement, instilling deep-seated hatred for Yun Xiao in him.

Everyone else obeyed Yan Chun’s command and returned to the battle against the warriors of the Luoyi Sect and the Jade Pot Sect, but this Second Elder of the Qingshan Sect, Yao Shi, was planning to first deal with the severely injured Yun Xiao.

However, missing such a Peak Spirit Vein Realm powerhouse, Yan Chun did not say anything more, and as for Yun Xiao, he was eager to see him dead, as the unpredictability of this youth was simply too great.

"Yun Xiao, quickly ride the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion and escape, with you alive, I’m sure my Jade Pot Sect can exact revenge on these people!"

Just at this moment, Yu Shu, who was surrounded by the three powerhouses, suddenly shouted loudly, knowing that even if he and people like Lu Zhan had regained their strength, they could at best hold out for a little while.

The Jade Pot Sect today, under the joint attack of the five major forces, was certainly more likely doomed than fortunate. In such a scenario, Yu Shu himself was helpless, yet Yun Xiao’s potential was the only hope for revenge.

It wouldn’t even take long, as soon as Yun Xiao reached the Peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, he could probably become invincible in the Hidden Dragon Continent. Then, everyone involved in today’s attack on the Jade Pot Sect cannot remain uninvolved.

"Hmph, thinking of escaping only now, isn’t it too late!"

Yao Shi heard Yu Shu’s shout clearly but his eyes flashed with disdain, thinking that if earlier Yun Xiao had thought of breaking free during his prime, he might indeed have succeeded, but now, how could there be such an opportunity?

In Yao Shi’s view, Yun Xiao was foolish, as he originally had the opportunity to escape on a Flying Beast Pulse Demon, a chance he completely squandered. At that time, if Yun Xiao weren’t so eager to kill the three great young talents and utilized his ghostly speed, no one could have stopped him in time.

But now, a severely injured Yun Xiao, let alone breaking through to find the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion, probably couldn’t even fend off a single strike from him, Yao Shi thought so.

Indeed it was true, in such a desperate situation, Yun Xiao hadn’t thought of not escaping, but being seriously injured, his only chance now was to wait for the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion to approach him, and then ride it to escape the catastrophe.

"It looks like it’s still not feasible!"

Yet just when Yun Xiao glanced towards a certain place, he saw the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion had the upper hand, but Ran Xing seemed to have realized something and was going all out blocking the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion’s support.

Even if Ran Xing could only hold off the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion for a few moments, it effectively cut off Yun Xiao’s escape route. Now, just a light hit from Yao Shi, the Second Elder of Qingshan Sect, could take Yun Xiao’s life.

"Hehe, Champion of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, who would have thought he’d die by my hand, Yao Shi!"

Looking at the slightly pale-faced youth in front of him, Yao Shi’s heart suddenly swelled with pride for no apparent reason. This was a super talent esteemed by many powerhouses of the Tenglong Continent, smothering a genius, which felt quite satisfying.

In the eyes of countless disciples of the Jade Pot Sect, despair was visible; it could be said to be their brand-new faith crumbling down.

All the strong warriors of the Jade Pot Sect and Luoyi Sect, including Fire Cloud Rat Chi Yan, faced two or even three opponents from the major forces of the Spirit Vein Realm.

Under such circumstances, for Yun Xiao to still hope to escape alive, a miracle would need to happen, but would such a miracle truly occur?
