Tempered Immortal

Chapter 256

“What do you heaven-favored children know?” Duan San suddenly became furious and stared fiercely at the two young men, who were like injured beasts.

“One of you is the young master of the Extreme Demon Cave, and the other is the young sect leader of Spirit Pill Mountain. You’re far more gifted than your peers, and you enjoy a great backing under the shade of a big tree. You have no shortage of spirit stones and magical treasures, so how can you know the suffering of ordinary cultivators like us?”

After taking a few deep breaths, Duan San finally calmed down, it was as if he wasn’t talking to two people, but talking to himself.

“Originally, I was only a Low-level disciple of Blue Cloud Mountain. Although I joined a famous sect by chance, my Spiritual Root was too poor. Even if I worked hard for decades, it would only let me reach the peak of the Spirit Gathering Stage. It was impossible for me to build a foundation my entire life.”

“From the beginning, my cultivation was slower than others, my master looked down upon me and I was despised by my fellow disciples…”

A strange light flashed through Lin Xuan’s eyes. Although he looked the same as usual, he felt as if he had returned to the hard times in Whirlwind Cloud Valley.

Unexpectedly, someone even regarded him as Heaven’s chosen one. Lin Xuan smiled bitterly in his head and continued to listen to him.

“Although I wasn’t talented, I was clever and was firm and tenacious. It was by coincidence that I was valued by a sect’s Elder. He asked if I would like to perform a special task…”

“Presumably an undercover agent in the Heavenly Vision Mountain.” Tian Xiaojian said with a sneer.

“That’s right.” Duan San turned his head and had a crazy look in his eyes, “In terms of cultivation base, the Demon Venerable is unparalleled, maybe even the number one expert in the You Prefecture. But when it comes to scheming, the Grand Elder of our sect is the best. It’s as if he’s Zhuge’s reincarnation.”

“Zhuge’s reincarnation?” Lin Xuan’s heart was jolted. He was an extremely powerful cultivator in ancient times. It was said that he’s amazing at strategy and array formations. He later ascended to the Immortal World.

“Several decades ago, my Blue Cloud Mountain had been plotting against the Heavenly Vision Sect and the Grand Elder sent me here as an undercover agent. The task was daunting, but the reward was equally impressive. With the pill given by him, I was able to break through my bottleneck and enter the Foundation Establishment Stage. “

“Elder Zhao also said that if I made a greater contribution, as long as it satisfied him, he would use a heaven-defying technique to cleanse my meridians and accept me as his disciple. At that time, I could also condense a Golden Core, and it’s just around the corner.” Speaking of it, Duan San was so happy that he nearly danced with joy.

“Humph, make a great contribution. It appears that you want to achieve it by killing the both of us.” Tian Xiaojian said coldly.

“It’s good that you understand, young master. I was having a headache just thinking about it at first.” Because the great merit mentioned by Grand Elder was to shake down the Heavenly Vision Sect and bring it into his pockets. Although I’ve been undercover for more than twenty years, I’m only a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If I wanted to shake the foundations of the Heavenly Vision Sect’s thousands of years of inheritance, it would be just overestimating myself. I don’t know if the heavens finally favored me, but it sent the young master to me.”

“What do you want to do?” Tian Xiaojian’s face darkened.

“Haha, isn’t that easy? Killing you and then blaming it on the Heavenly Vision Sect. You’re the favorite disciple of the Extreme Demon Venerable, and also his descendant. I’m sure your master will avenge you no matter what! “

“When the Demonic Dao comes to attack, even with the Cloud-Splitting Light Array, the Heavenly Vision Sect wouldn’t be able to resist. Since they have an enmity with the Demonic Dao, then their only choice is turning to my Righteous Dao. With such an extraordinary feat, the Grand Elder will naturally fulfill his promise.” After saying that, Duan San turned his head and said, “It’s a pity that you feel wronged. You can say that the fire in the city gates had affected the fish in the pond and made the innocent suffer. But it doesn’t matter. Killing you is more secure, and the strength of Spirit Pill Mountain is equally insultable. I’m sure they’ll avenge you. “

“The last question, when you poisoned us, why didn’t we feel it at all?” Tian Xiaojian said coldly.

“Oh, did you forget that the clothes you’re wearing were provided by me? When you came to me to ask for it yesterday, I wiped it with poison, and the Seven Ultimate Vermillion Fruit also comes into effect when it’s in contact with this Qirin Glazed Powder.”

Duan San spread out his hands, and his palms were covered with a colorful powder. Then, a cold look flashed on his face, “Well, that’s all I want to say. You two should be smart enough to just let me send you on your way.”

After saying that, he pointed his hand at the huge axe, and it flew back towards them. But when it was about to stab down, something unexpected happened.

Tian Xiaojian and Lin Xuan actually stood up, and the blackness on their faces quickly receded, their skin turned rosy, and they didn’t look like they were poisoned at all.

“You, you…” Duan San was dumbfounded, and his mouth was wide enough that it could swallow an egg. His face was filled with undisguised fear as he said, “How could it be possible? Aren’t you poisoned?!”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you. The Seven Ultimate Vermillion Fruit is indeed a strange and rare poison. Unfortunately, my master has given me a certain treasure that can dispel poisons.”

Tian Xiaojian’s face was full of ridicule. He opened his mouth and spurted out a lychee-sized bead, emitting a misty glow.

On the contrary, the expression on Duan San’s face became extremely ugly, and Tian Xiaojian glanced at Lin Xuan from the corner of his eyes. He widened his eyes slightly and revealed a hint of surprise.

He had the Whale Sea Divine Bead, so he wasn’t afraid of any poison. But why is he okay?

Lin Xuan stared at Duan San expressionlessly. Seemingly full of energy, but he secretly rejoiced in his heart. To be honest, he didn’t have any vigilance for this wretched villain. He just kept a wary eye on Tian Xiaojian, so he didn’t pay much attention to the clothes he had on him.

Otherwise, the consequences were really unimaginable!

It was a reminder to himself that he shouldn’t underestimate anyone. The Path of Cultivation is full of thorns, Lin Xuan didn’t want his ship to capsize and fall into the gutter.

At this time, Tian Xiaojian’s face was full of cold murderous intent. He didn’t waste time saying nonsense to the other party. He raised his hand, and the Flying Sword that fell to the ground immediately flew up. It turned into a sharp path of light and headed straight for the other party’s neck.

Duan San’s complexion turned pale. Although the difference in skill between them was too far apart, he was naturally unwilling to just sit still and wait for his death. He took a deep breath and spat out a mouthful of red Vital Qi towards the huge axe.

Two pieces of Top Grade Spirit Tools collided together!

Then he took out a yellow talisman from his pocket and muttered an incantation. He slammed it onto his body, and the ground began to sway like water waves.

“You want to escape with an Earth Escape Talisman?”

With a sneer, Tian Xiaojian waves his sleeve, and a large amount of ghostly fog flew out of it and wrapped Duan San in a flash.

Shill cries could be heard from the ghostly fog, but soon, the voices became lower and lower…
