"Now, this 'Xuanng Grass' is mine!"
As one of the top geniuses in the Spirit Fighting Comrce, Li Gongnian truly did not care at all about this guy in front of him who was only at the middle stage of the Qi Seeking Realm.
After hearing the light chuckle fall from his lips, he already took two steps forward and directly reached out to grab the green-gray little grass that was pressed under Yu Shu's palm.
Seeing this, Yu Shu hesitated for a mont, but it was in this fleeting hesitation that he felt a sinister force shoot out from Li Gongnian, then with the speed of lightning, it shot into the back of his hand, causing his entire right hand to shake fiercely, and he withdrew it in a panic.
A sharp pain ca from the back of his right hand. Raising his hand, Yu Shu imdiately saw a black dot appear on the back of his hand, and this black dot seed to have suddenly turned into an indelible tattoo. He wiped it repeatedly, but it could not be removed.
"It's a potent poison!"
Yu Shu was, after all, a dical Pulse Master who had reached the Earth Rank Low Level, and having once been the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect, he had dabbled in the Poison ridian Path in order to maintain harmony between the dical and poison paths in the sect.
But even so, when the black dot appeared on the back of his hand, Yu Shu knew that with his dical Pulse Technique, he probably couldn't dispel it at all. This genius Li Gongnian from the headquarters of Spirit Fighting Comrce was clearly at least an Earth Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master.
"This is the consequence of not knowing one's place!"
Seeing Yu Shu's changing complexion, Li Gongnian sneered coldly. He believed he had already given this person a lot of face just now, yet this guy still hesitated for a while. How could he possibly have any scruples about such a person?
Moreover, it was now a transaction between him, Li Gongnian, and the stall owner. Yu Shu instead beca the outsider. Even if he killed him, after taking the morally higher ground, Refining Cloud Mountain would probably not trouble a top genius of Spirit Fighting Comrce. Yu Shu's death would be in vain.
"If you don't want to die, just chop off this hand; otherwise, in thirty minutes, the poison will attack your heart, and you'll die!"
While reaching out to grab the so-called Xuanng Grass, Li Gongnian turned his head and casually glanced at the ever-enlarging black dot on the back of Yu Shu's hand, then spoke words that sent Yu Shu's heart straight to the bottom.
From being the master of the foremost sect on Hidden Dragon Continent to the lowest existence on this Tenglong Continent, Yu Shu asked himself that he had already adapted quite well, yet unexpectedly encountered a mishap before the final selection of the Refining Cloud Mountain disciples.
For a ridian Refining Master, how important one hand is, there's no need to say much. If he lost this right hand, Yu Shu's title as an Earth Rank Low Level ridian Refining Master would quickly beco an empty reputation.
It has to be said that this genius from Spirit Fighting Comrce, Li Gongnian, seed amiable and pleasant in deanor, yet outsiders could not sense the malice that was in his bones. Once provoked by him, the outco could be as tragic as Yu Shu's in an instant.
Destroying a Cultivator's right hand in a casual conversation might seem like a trivial matter to Li Gongnian, but in fact, it could affect the cultivator's entire life. How could an elephant spare even a thought for an ant's life?
For a mont, Yu Shu was caught in deep turmoil. After all the effort to cultivate to this current level, truly chopping off a hand would be too hard for him. Making such a decision couldn't be done in just an instant.
Whoosh!
And at that mont, just as Li Gongnian didn't even bother to look at Yu Shu anymore, wanting to place the Xuanng Grass into his Waist Storage, a sound of sothing cutting through the air suddenly ca, and then before him appeared a streak of dark light, extrely unexpected.
As one of the few geniuses in Spirit Fighting Comrce, and also being an Earth Rank Low Level Peak Master, one step away from reaching the Earth Rank Middle Level ridian Refining Master, although Li Gongnian did not know what that dark light was, in this mont, a sense of extre danger suddenly surged in his heart.
The target of that dark light was clearly Li Gongnian's right hand holding the Xuanng Grass, aiming directly at his wrist. If he didn't withdraw his hand or dodge, the hand along with the grass might be chopped off by the opponent.
"Truly courting death!"
Li Gongnian grumbled angrily in his heart. After all these years of traversing the Tenglong Continent, even when encountering so Earth Bending Realm experts, few dared to provoke him first. Did the person who made this move eat a Dragon Heart Phoenix Gall?
But no matter how angry Li Gongnian felt in his heart, that dark light ca too unexpectedly. Everything had to wait until he dodged this attack from the dark light before any further considerations.
Seeing Li Gongnian's wrist make a nimble twist, that dark light diagonally sliced down past his arm, not harming him in the slightest. It didn't even seem to touch a bit of his right arm's sleeve.
Sensing the commotion on this side, so ridian Refining Masters who were closer all developed a trace of interest. After all, they all knew Li Gongnian, and at least, on this final selection of Refining Cloud Mountain disciples, there were probably fewer than five who dared to provoke this one.
As for Yu Shu just now, no one cared. Even if he broke a hand, everyone would probably just regard him as an unknown person who dared to snatch sothing from Li Gongnian without knowing his limits.
But now, there was another attack, blatantly launched at Li Gongnian. Compared to Yu Shu being poisoned by Li Gongnian just now, this matter was much bigger. It was obviously a provocation to this super genius at the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Comrce.
Many people saw that black light, but they never thought Li Gongnian would be unable to dodge it. Seeing his actions now, they all knew that the one who launched the sneak attack was in for a big mishap.
In the Lianyun Mountain trade fair, although private fights are prohibited, if soone strikes first and gets killed by the other party in return, the strong ones at the ridian Refining Master headquarters won't interfere, as everything must be judged right or wrong. If soone's coming to kill you, are you not allowed to resist?
In everyone's eyes, Li Gongnian at this mont was the one who was resisting. As for the one who launched the sneak attack, they believed he would soon beco a cold corpse. This is the consequence of forcibly provoking the genius of the Spirit Fighting Comrce.
Whoosh!
However, just as everyone was silently mourning for the one who launched the sneak attack, a grey figure suddenly flashed, and imdiately a hand appeared beside the arm that Li Gongnian dodged, seemingly stretching out two fingers, lightly pointing at Li Gongnian's wrist.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Three continuous light sounds were heard. These present were all ridian Refining Masters. They could clearly see that the two sudden fingers were precisely pointing at several key acupoints on Li Gongnian's right wrist, causing the tensed right hand of the Spirit Fighting Comrce genius to suddenly relax.
Li Gongnian was holding the Xuan ng Herb in his right hand. With that sudden relaxation, the Xuan ng Herb fell directly to the ground, but the next mont, it was caught by the hand with the two fingers, and scooped into the palm.
"Ignorant of life and death!"
Having been calculated by soone, Li Gongnian's face was no longer calm as before, replaced by a peculiar lividness, and his gritted words indicated his extre anger.
As one of the few geniuses in the Spirit Fighting Comrce, how could Li Gongnian not know that the previous black light attack was just the first move? The opponent clearly calculated that his arm would dodge in this direction, with another hand already waiting there, instantly sealing a few acupoints on his right wrist.
No matter how strong Li Gongnian is, being suddenly targeted at the acupoints, his entire right forearm went instantly numb and powerless, causing him to even lose grip of the Xuan ng Herb, which was easily snatched away by soone.
Always being high up, Li Gongnian couldn't possibly swallow such a loss. Hence, his malicious gaze instantly locked onto a grey-clothed figure not far away, who at this mont was playing with the Xuan ng Herb in his hand.
"No matter who you are, daring to offend , Li Gongnian, your life is at its end!"
Staring at the coarse-clothed youth holding the Xuan ng Herb, Li Gongnian's words carried no concealnt but were filled with a strong sense of threat, and with his status, he had the right to say such words.
This place, after all, is Lianyun Mountain, where private fights are prohibited without special circumstances, but with Li Gongnian's Xuan ng Herb having been taken, he naturally had a justified reason to act openly.
Moreover, at this mont, Li Gongnian could clearly sense that the coarse-clothed youth in front only had cultivation at the Early Stage of the Seeking Origin Realm, two whole small realms lower than him.
It could be imagined that the Xuan ng Herb was taken from him unexpectedly, only because Li Gongnian was unprepared, not that this kid's combat power was genuinely that strong.
"Yun Xiao?!"
On the contrary, Yu Shu, who had been hesitating about cutting off his right hand earlier, when he looked up and saw that coarse-clothed youth, a feeling of familiarity to the core was irrepressibly flooding his mind and heart, never to be dismissed, and this shout inford everyone of the na of that coarse-clothed youth.
Yu Shu spent the first half of his life on the Hidden Dragon Continent, and since becoming the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect, he never took a disciple, in order to balance the relationships between the dical Pulse and Poison Vein paths in the Jade Pot Sect.
It wasn't until the arrival of Yun Xiao, when the dical and Poison paths almost ca to blows over this super genius, that Yu Shu finally appeared and took Yun Xiao as his disciple, although it was for so other reasons, it was ultimately to balance the relationship between the dical and Poison paths.
Even Yu Shu himself never expected that this disciple he took without preditation would one day reach a height unreachable even for himself, stirring up storms across the Hidden Dragon Continent.
Especially during the later battle that led to the annihilation of the Xuanyue Empire, Yun Xiao, almost single-handedly, overturned the eight great empires, making Xuanyue Empire and Jade Pot Sect existences on the Hidden Dragon Continent that no one dared to provoke.
