To the young man speaking, many of the Hu Family clanspeople were no longer too unfamiliar. He was the "Star" who had rescued them from a dire situation at Yulei Mountain, when the Yang Family's powerhouses pursued them.
At this mont, Yun Xiao was truly like a star filled with hope for the Hu Family's clanspeople. For so reason, despite sensing that the youth was indeed only at the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, they still held imnse expectations.
Perhaps these Hu Family clanspeople had witnessed Yun Xiao's combat prowess, which far exceeded his apparent cultivation, or perhaps they knew of his ridian Spirit that could easily kill a cultivator in the middle stage of the Qi Seeking Realm. In any case, hearing Yun Xiao speak was like seeing hope rising.
However, these Hu Family clanspeople had seen Yun Xiao's combat strength, but Hua Beisheng and his cohort knew nothing about it. In their minds, this was just a low-level practitioner at the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, and even if he detected the intense poison in the wine, he couldn't possibly stir up much trouble.
Using deadly poison to carry out an assassination was simply because Hua Beisheng did not want to expend too much effort. Now that things had escalated to this point, relying on the strength of many powerful mbers from the Hua Family, it wouldn't take long to clean up the remnants of the Hu Family.
"Kid, I don't care who you are or where you ca from, but since you dared to ddle in the Hu Family's affairs, you can only bla your own bad luck!"
Towards a youngster at the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, Hua Beisheng had never taken him seriously. Moreover, this kid revealed the secret of the poisoned wine, prompting a murderous intent in Hua Beisheng's heart, which was undisguised in his words.
"Just with these barnyard fowls and guard dogs?"
Yun Xiao couldn't help but sneer at Hua Beisheng's words, then stretched out his chopstick-holding right hand, pointing towards several of the Hua Family's strongn who entered the hall.
"Barnyard fowls and guard dogs?"
Hearing Yun Xiao's description, the several Hua Family Elders pointed at by the chopsticks couldn't help but think of laughing. Perhaps since they attained their cultivation, they had never been called barnyard fowls and guard dogs?
A re little kid at the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, actually pointing fingers and appearing utterly disdainful towards a group of Qi Seeking Realm powerhouses, such arrogance was simply sky-high.
"Seeking your own death, kid!"
One of the Qi Seeking Realm early stage Hua Family powerhouses couldn't bear it first. Among all the Hu Family people present, he was only wary of Hu Yuqing and Hong Liu, and never took anyone else seriously.
"If I call you barnyard fowls and guard dogs, just accept it quietly; why insist on courting death!"
Seeing the man's action, Yun Xiao slightly shook his head, letting out a sigh, but then his left hand slapped on the table abruptly, causing the wine jug in front of him to move on its own without wind. Astonishingly, it shot out a stream of Alcohol Arrow from the spout at an extrely fast speed towards that Hua Family powerhouse.
"Dodge it quickly!"
Hua Beisheng also didn't expect Yun Xiao to react so quickly. Although he still believed the kid was just taking advantage of the situation to use the poison wine to deal with a Hua Family powerhouse, he couldn't help but shout out.
Because Hua Beisheng clearly knew that the poison in the wine jug was of Earth Rank Low Level, even he, a powerhouse at the peak of the Qi Seeking Realm, didn't dare to take it head-on, let alone a practitioner at the early stage of the Qi Seeking Realm. If hit by that poison wine, one would probably end up just like that wooden pillar, right?
"Hmph, think you can dodge it?"
With these words, Yun Xiao's sneer beca even thicker. However, hearing his words, many of the Hua Family powerhouses scoffed, thinking that although the Alcohol Arrow was fast, hitting a practitioner at the early stage of the Qi Seeking Realm was wishful thinking, not to ntion the Family Head had already alerted them.
In the heart of that Qi Seeking Realm early stage Hua Family practitioner, he truly never thought he would be hit by the deadly Alcohol Arrow. He had great confidence in his reflexes; after all, dodging an attack from an alcohol arrow seed to pose no issue.
"Huh?"
However, just when the Hua Family powerhouse was full of confidence, he suddenly felt dizziness in his mind, and then his body, which had just moved aside half an inch, ca to a sudden halt.
This scene was extrely strange to everyone in the hall. Just as the Hua Family powerhouse seed about to dodge the deadly Alcohol Arrow, why did he suddenly freeze as if immobilized by an acupoint?
Puff!
The deadly Alcohol Arrow had none of the bystanders' myriad thoughts; in just an instant, it fiercely smashed onto the face of the Hua Family powerhouse, and then everyone witnessed an extrely horrifying scene.
"Ah, my face, my… face…"
The Hua Family powerhouse's stunned state lasted rely a mont. When he regained consciousness, he felt the wine splashing over him and was struck by a sharp pain, as if his face was instantly corroded.
The hall's audience had seen with their own eyes the poisonous wine corroding the wooden pillar just a mont ago. Now, seeing that Hua Family strongman sprayed by the poisonous wine, a sense of satisfaction rose spontaneously in the hearts of the Hu Family clanspeople.
"Family... Family Head, save... save !"
Feeling his entire face corroding, the cultivator of the Hua Family finally rembered that this severe poison seed to be deployed by the Family Head. While his nose and mouth were still relatively intact, he couldn't help but cry out for help.
Whoosh!
The speed of Hua Beisheng, the Hua Family Head, was not slow. As soon as the alcohol arrow had hit the Hua Family mber, he had already made a move. A faint sound was heard, followed by a breath cutting through the air, which, as luck would have it, landed right on the cultivator's chin.
Another flash of light followed imdiately, as Hua Beisheng flicked his finger, propelling the antidote directly into the mouth of the Hua Family cultivator. At this mont, the cultivator's entire face was already rotten to the bone, appearing extrely horrifying and ferocious.
Hua Beisheng was clear in his mind that feeding him the antidote at this ti would only save his life, at best. As for restoring his original appearance, he would probably need to find a high-rank ridian Refining Master for a skin graft.
"Ah!"
However, just as Hua Beisheng was exceedingly confident in his antidote, the wretched scream of the Hua Family mber who had swallowed the antidote beca even more piercing. The next mont, his jaw was instantly corroded away.
As such, the antidote that Hua Beisheng had just flicked out seed more like a catalyst for the deadly poison, accelerating the corroding condition of the Hua Family powerhouse.
"What's going on?"
This developnt truly left Hua Beisheng in shock and disbelief. He knew that this antidote was personally given by a Poison Vein Master when he was presented with the Earth Rank Low-Level poison, just in case he accidentally ca into contact with it.
Although Hua Beisheng had never used this antidote before, he knew that the Poison Vein Master would never deceive him. But what was happening right in front of his eyes?
"Little Dragon, your One Thought to Transform Myriad Poisons technique is truly miraculous!"
Seeing the miserable state of the Hua Family mber, Yun Xiao couldn't help but secretly admire in his mind, making a certain figure within his Waist Storage reveal a smug smile.
It turned out that when Yun Xiao had struck the wine pot, in conjunction with Little Dragon's assistance, they had altered the deadly poison. The Dragon Summoning Tree's unique ability of One Thought to Solve Myriad Poisons, One Thought to Transform Myriad Poisons, was instantly activated. How could it be neutralized by a re antidote to the deadly poison?
Ever since Yun Xiao had detoxified Xuan Haoran from the Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance at the Xuanyue Imperial Family, he knew that on the Continent, no one could surpass Little Dragon when it cos to poisoning and detoxification.
With one thought, the Dragon Guiding Tree Spirit could neutralize all the poisons in the world, and with another thought, it could turn anything into a deadly poison. This was truly an unpredictable and indefensible ability. Except for Little Dragon's cultivation still being quite weak, the thods of a Poison Vein Master were, to him, completely uninspiring.
As for the sudden stupefaction of the Hua Family strongman, it was due to Yun Xiao's use of the Power of Soul. With his current soul strength, coupled with certain soul techniques from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, he had briefly trapped the Hua Family powerhouse in a daze, which was not an impossible feat.
Thus, the events that unfolded at the scene, in the eyes of the spectators, especially those Hua Family mbers like Hua Beisheng, were sowhat unbelievable.
The screams of the Hua Family powerhouse grew fainter and fainter until they were almost inaudible. At this mont, his entire clothing and flesh had been corroded away, leaving only a skeleton streaked with traces of blood.
Moreover, these bones were still undergoing constant corrosion. It seed that in a short while, his entire body would cease to exist. Such intense poison made all the mbers of the Hu Family feel a lingering fear.
Because if it hadn't been for Yun Xiao's tily warning, they might have already ingested the deadly poison, and they would be the ones lying on the ground wailing, a fate no one wished to experience.
What the people didn't know was that the severe poison the Hua Family strongman was enduring at this mont was already more than ten tis more powerful than before, and even if he had taken the antidote on the spot, it would have been of no use.
"Now, do you still refuse to admit that you are nothing but chickens and dogs?"
Yun Xiao's gaze didn't even bother to glance at the skeleton; instead, he coldly swept over many mbers of the Hua Family. The words he spoke were identical to earlier, but the underlying aning was completely different.
When Yun Xiao had first said these words, many of the Hua Family's strongn had disdained him, and many believed that after the initial stage cultivator of the Qi Seeking Realm from their family made a move, this boastful young man would surely be killed.
But now, just a casually thrown jar of poisoned wine had caused an initial stage Qi Seeking Realm cultivator of the Hua Family to die a miserable death. Everyone felt that this dark-skinned youth was suddenly enveloped by a mysterious and eerie aura, unfathomable.
"Hmph, it's just cunning tricks, nothing impressive!"
As the head of the Hua Family, seeing the fearful looks on those Hua Family mbers, Hua Beisheng had no choice but to speak up and hit the nail on the head.
His words also allowed many of the Hua Family mbers to regain confidence, thinking that the reason the young man could easily kill an initial stage Qi Seeking Realm cultivator was all thanks to the help of poisoned wine. To say that this young man in the early stages of the Spirit Vein Realm really had any actual abilities, they were in no way willing to believe it.
