On the silent street, Leon Huang drew his longsword and charged straight at Ethan Ye, the Poison Emperor.
"Junior Brother Huang, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Yoon Zhengyang and Harriet Gu's eyes nearly popped out of their heads. They never imagined that, while poisoned, Leon would actually dare attack a Grandmaster.
Although the Qi-Refining realm is just one major step below Grandmaster...
...that step is like a chasm—impossible to cross.
So even the most outstanding geniuses would never dare challenge a Grandmaster while still at Qi-Refining.
But they failed to notice that as Leon swung his sword, the black miasma on his face disappeared.
Bone-Corroding Poison can melt a person's bones, but Leon possesses the Radiance of Life—just a breath is enough to purge all toxins.
Boom!
A sword imbued with the force of heaven and earth, carrying overwhelming might, shot straight toward Ethan Ye.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing a mere Qi-Refining junior dare to attack him, Ethan Ye, the Poison Emperor, burst into loud, contemptuous laughter.
Leon’s attack was as fast as thunder, arriving in an instant.
But the Poison Emperor just raised a hand carelessly to meet the sword, completely unconcerned.
Seeing this, Leon’s lips curled in a mocking smile.
Boom!
A huge burst of qi exploded, and the Poison Emperor’s body was blasted away like a rubber ball!
"How is this possible? How could you knock me back?" Ethan Ye roared in disbelief.
Flying backward through the air, the Poison Emperor’s voice trembled with shock and fury. To be knocked back by a mere eighth-layer Qi-Refining junior—even if he hadn’t used his full strength—was utterly humiliating for a Grandmaster.
Leon sneered, "Because you're trash, that's why I can knock you flying!"
"Who is it?"
It seemed the sound of exploding qi was coming from the direction where Leon and his companions had gone.
"Could it be... they've been ambushed?"
Instinctively, they turned and rushed toward the source of the sound.
Arriving first, Benson Bai saw Yoon Zhengyang and Harriet Gu collapsed on the ground, weakened by Bone-Corroding Poison.
"Senior Brother Yoon, Junior Sister Gu, what happened?"
Benson Bai asked in horror.
Yoon Zhengyang said weakly, "We've been poisoned by Ethan Ye, the Poison Emperor. Senior Brother Bai, can you go to our inn and notify Elder Hu and Elder Warren? Please!"
"The Poison Emperor, Ethan Ye?"
Benson Bai suddenly sucked in a breath—he was a Grandmaster-level martial artist.
