The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2936 - 2911: Netherworld Soil
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
The Netherworld Soil, is a poison widely circulated within the Poison God Clan, originally in powdered form. However, when sprinkled on the ground, it permeates the soil, and any warrior who steps onto this piece of earth will be entwined by the poison of the Netherworld Soil.
Generally speaking, based on a warrior’s cultivation strength, a martial artist of the Life-and-Death Realm will perish immediately after walking seven steps on the Netherworld Soil, while those in the Death Reversal Realm can survive up to nine steps.
Only warriors of the Wending Realm can suppress the poison of the Netherworld Soil, but if they linger on it for too long, even they will surely meet their demise.
Therefore, a saying has spread across the Southern Continent regarding the Netherworld Soil: "Seven steps for life, nine steps for death."
...
At the end of this cave mansion, within the belly of Qinglong Mountain, there lies a massive melting cave.
At this moment, gathered inside the melting cave are hundreds of strong warriors of the Wending Realm from the Qinglong Clan, and leading them is none other than the Clan Leader of the Qinglong Clan, Long Huihuang, father of Long Beibei.
And among the surrounding hundreds of warriors are the strong elders of the Qinglong Clan, including Long Xian.
"Long Huihuang, now you have nowhere to run!"
At this moment, a group of men in black, led by Dragon Hawk, emerged from the shadows.
This group of men in black quickly surrounded Long Huihuang and a group of Qinglong Tribe’s martial artists.
"Dragon Hawk, what benefit do you get from this?" Long Huihuang said coldly upon seeing Dragon Hawk: "Seeing the Qinglong Clan now in ruins, does it make you happy?"
Dragon Hawk sneered: "Every revolution inevitably requires a blood price. Rest assured, once you all die, I will rebuild an even more glorious Qinglong Clan on its ruins!"
Long Huihuang replied coldly: "Why!"
Dragon Hawk sneered back: "There’s no reason; I think you’ve occupied the Clan Leader position long enough. It’s time someone else tries sitting on it!"
At that moment, Long Xian approached Long Huihuang and whispered: "All other exits are blocked; we simply cannot leave this place!"
Dragon Hawk looked at Long Xian and chuckled softly: "Don’t bother trying. I’ve been to Qinglong Mountain more than a hundred times. I know exactly how many passageways and exits there are!"
"Besides, I know very well that when you see Qinglong Clan falling, you’ll fall back to the formation eye of Qinglong Mountain, so I instructed people to scatter the Netherworld Soil at various exits of Qinglong Mountain early on!"
"Now, your bodies are probably contaminated by the Netherworld Poison!"
Dragon Hawk said coldly.
Long Huihuang sneered and said: "It seems you’ve indeed prepared for today for quite some time."
Dragon Hawk replied coldly: "A preparation of over ten years!"
"Over ten years..." Long Huihuang felt deeply distressed hearing this timeframe.
Dragon Hawk said coldly: "Enough, I don’t wish to waste more words with you. Today, the Qinglong Clan will certainly change ownership, and all of you will meet your end!"
"Kill them!"
Dragon Hawk waved his wide sleeve, and hundreds of black-clothed warriors around dashed forward.
At that moment, from a passageway, a laugh suddenly echoed: "Looks like we’ve stumbled upon quite a show!"
Dragon Hawk and Long Huihuang both looked toward the source, seeing warriors step out from the passageway, none other than Lin Bai, Zhao Yue, Long Beibei, Long Chuan, and Lin Ye.
"Long Beibei, Lin Bai!" Dragon Hawk said in surprise upon seeing two among the five: "Su Dingan still didn’t manage to kill you?"
Lin Bai chuckled softly: "That worthless man could kill me?"
Long Huihuang urgently said: "Beibei, what are you doing here, hurry and leave!"
"Dad." Long Beibei screamed.
Dragon Hawk’s eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Alright, since Su Dingan couldn’t kill you, let me do it myself. If you’re determined to seek death, I shall fulfill your wish!"
"Attack, leave none alive!"
Hundreds of black-clothed warriors rushed forward.
Lin Bai said to Zhao Yue: "Go and detox them!"
After the tribe headed into Qinglong Mountain, naturally the elders of Qinglong Clan and others were contaminated by the poison upon stepping on the Netherworld Soil.
At that moment, Lin Bai’s wooden sword flashed as he dashed forward to confront Dragon Hawk.
Dragon Hawk’s gaze turned fierce as he blasted his palm forward.
This strike hit Lin Bai’s wooden sword, directly sending Lin Bai back a hundred meters; upon landing, he staggered and said in surprise: "Above the fifth level of the Wending Realm!"
Dragon Hawk also looked at Lin Bai in surprise and said: "With your mere Death Reversal Realm cultivation, you could withstand my palm. It seems I haven’t misjudged you; indeed you aren’t an ordinary person!"
"Yet, regardless of your skills today, you’re destined to die here!"
Speaking, Dragon Hawk charged at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai used all his abilities to resist Dragon Hawk.
Zhao Yue approached Long Huihuang and others, saying: "While Lin Bai is holding Dragon Hawk off, I’ll detox you!"
Speaking, Zhao Yue took out a bottle of elixir pills from the storage bag, tossed it to Long Huihuang and the others, saying: "The pills in this bottle are detoxification pills. Once taken, they can cure the Netherworld Poison, and keep you safe from it for three days!"
Long Huihuang’s eyes flashed as he took the pill bottle, looking at Zhao Yue in a strange manner.
Long Beibei said: "Dad, these really are detoxification pills; Teacher wouldn’t deceive us!"
Long Huihuang hesitated for a moment.
At that moment, Lin Bai was struck by Dragon Hawk’s palm, sent flying, landing not far away, saying coldly: "Lord Long Huihuang, if you don’t take the detoxification pills to deal with Dragon Hawk soon, I’ll be killed by him!"
"He’s a Strong One above the fifth level of the Wending Realm; I am not his match!"
"If you don’t step in, I won’t care about the Qinglong Clan anymore."
Lin Bai said softly.
With Lin Bai’s current cultivation, without using the "Unbeatable Sword Skill," he absolutely couldn’t defeat Dragon Hawk.
And the side effects of the Unbeatable Sword Skill made Lin Bai somewhat apprehensive, as he had finally restored his cultivation and was unwilling to lose it again.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Bai would definitely not use the Unbeatable Sword Skill.
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s voice, Long Huihuang hesitantly took out the detoxification pill, swallowed it, and immediately the pill surged through his body, eradicating the Netherworld Poison within.
"It’s real!" Long Huihuang said in surprise to Zhao Yue: "The Netherworld Poison, believed incurable, how do you have the antidote?"
Zhao Yue chuckled softly: "Because this Netherworld Poison... was created by me!"
Having finished speaking, Zhao Yue turned and left, walking out of Qinglong Mountain, saying: "I’m not good at fighting, besides Lin Bai is already involved, so I’ll wait outside for you."
Long Huihuang watched in surprise as Zhao Yue turned and left, deeply shocked.
"Did she say... she created the Netherworld Soil?"
Long Huihuang said in horror.
