A large number of Black Blood Tower assassins soon arrived at the inn.
Chu Kuangren remained calm as he treated the assassins before him like they were nothing. He quickly attacked with his surging Emperor qi, reducing all of them into mists of blood one after another.
After a while.
The whole inn was filled with the stench of blood.
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren stopped.
A figure was seen walking out from the void. It was a hunched old man with a purple mask hanging around his waist.
“A purple-masked assassin!”
Li Xueying could not help but express her shock.
The gold-masked assassins were the Black Blood Tower’s most top-notched killer, but the ones who were more powerful were the four purple-masked assassins above them!
The four of them were all Heavenly Daoist Celestials!
They were the strongest cultivators aside from the Black Blood Tower Master himself!
“Hehe, Chu Kuangren. Are you starting to feel sick and that your Emperor qi is not flowing smoothly? Haha, don’t you worry. After a while, your meridians, veins, bones, and flesh will feel as if thousands of insects are devouring them. In the end, your body will be riddled in holes, rotting like a hornet’s nest.”
The old man with a purple mask hung at his waist laughed and said.
Li Xueying felt a chill run down her spine. “He’s the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial, one of the four purple-masked assassins. He specializes in the use of poison against his enemies, having once killed everyone from another planet with poison alone. Chu Kuangren, how are you feeling now?”
She was feeling a little hopeless now.
She had just found someone who could help her. Was he going to die just like that?
Compared to the panicking Li Xueying, Chu Kuangren appeared very calm. Then, he said apathetically, “Do you think your poison will work against me?”
“Hmph. Still tough on the brink of death, huh?”
“When did you poison him?”
Li Xueying asked unhappily.
“Hehe. It’s all thanks to my subordinates, of course.”
One of his men disguised as the waiter walked out. He was the waiter that served Chu Kuangren the wine earlier — a Black Blood Tower assassin in disguise.
“It’s that wine?”
Li Xueying’s expression changed when she realized.
‘That’s not right.’
She was about to drink that wine just now too.
However, Chu Kuangren stopped her from drinking it.
‘Could it be….’
Li Xueying suddenly thought of something and looked at Chu Kuangren, only to see him chuckle in return. After that, he immediately unleashed a palm attack.
A wave of alcoholic qi surged forth, landing on every assassin around them. The one disguised as a waiter earlier was the first to get hit. Instants later, he immediately fell to the ground screaming in pain. His body started rotting and decomposing rapidly before eventually turning into a pile of rotten flesh with an unbearable stench.
“You’re not poisoned at all?!”
The Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial’s expression changed.
“Your poison is too weak. It’s not worth mentioning at all.”
Chu Kuangren said casually. After all, he possessed the Stellar Undying Body, which gave him an extremely high poison resistance, a Supreme Daoist Physique related to poison Dao, and the Toxic Plague Physique. Besides, he was also a top-notch physician.
Using poison on him?
It was simply child’s play to him.
If he wished to, he could become a poison master at any time.
“Hmph. Supreme Palm of Toxicity!” Channeling dark purple toxic qi and Emperor qi into a palm attack, the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial immediately charged toward Chu Kuangren.
Upon seeing that, Chu Kuangren did not dodge. Instead, he brutally took the full blow of that incoming attack, which delighted the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial.
“You fool, no one in this world has received my poison palm attack and survived. Even a Heavenly Daoist Celestial will die from this.”
“Wow, you must be living in a small world then.”
Chu Kuangren said.
His Toxic Plague Physique soon activated and absorbed all of the swirling toxic qi from the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial into his body. The poison then merged with the Toxic Plague Physique’s unique toxic qi, turning into an even more terrifying toxic qi.
Chu Kuangren raised his hand and immediately unleashed that toxic qi onto the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial’s face. The toxic qi flowed into him through his mouth, nostrils, eyes, and ears.
“No, it’s impossible.”
“How can such toxic qi exist…” When the toxic qi entered his body, the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial’s expression changed. He wanted to suppress the toxic qi when he sensed it but soon realized that he could not at all!
Chu Kuangren’s skill in using poison was even more terrifying than him!
Moments later, the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial’s face started to turn green, and his lips turned purple as his aura dwindled to a very weak level.
“Retreat!”
The Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial immediately escaped without hesitation. With his best techniques countered, he was no match for Chu Kuangren at all.
However, there was no way he could escape from someone like Chu Kuangren.
A fireball made from Phoenix’s Flames soon shot towards his back.
It did not take long before it burned him into ashes on the spot.
The Heavenly Daoist Celestial had fallen!
Standing next to Chu Kuangren, Li Xueying was dumbfounded.
‘That’s not just some lowly thug or bandit but a powerful Heavenly Daoist Celestial!’
There were only a handful of Heavenly Daoist Celestials on Planet Sirius– no. Even in the entire Violet Gold Galaxy, Heavenly Daoist Celestials were said to be the most powerful beings in existence.
Yet, Chu Kuangren just killed one of them so easily!
‘Is this the power of the Sword Poem Immortal?’
‘It’s far more terrifying than what the rumors say!’
“What cultivation realm are you in right now?”
Li Xueying looked directly into Chu Kuangren’s eyes and asked.
“I’m a Great Daoist Celestial.”
Chu Kuangren replied honestly.
Then, he raised his arm to form thousands of spiritual weapons in the air, killing all of the fleeing gold-masked assassins who were Great Daoist Celestials like him effortlessly!
“But how can you kill a Heavenly Daoist Celestial that easily?”
“Are you talking about the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial? He’s nothing but a third-rate phony. That’s the weakest Heavenly Daoist Celestial I’ve ever seen.”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently. The Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial was best at using poison. However, with the poison that he was so proud of countered, his remaining combat strength as a Heavenly Daoist Celestial was undoubtedly the weakest among all the Heavenly Daoist Celestials.
The corner of Li Xueying’s mouth twitched.
‘Even if he’s the weakest Heavenly Daoist Celestial, he’s still a freaking Heavenly Daoist Celestial!’
‘A Great Daoist Celestial like you killing whoever he wishes…’
‘That’s ignoring the difference between cultivation realms!’
Li Xueying took a deep breath and regained her composure. Upon recalling the rumors about Chu Kuangren, the Sword Poem Immortal, she felt that her identity as Li Clan’s noble daughter was nothing compared to him.
However, she had to admit that she would feel more at ease the stronger Chu Kuangren was. After all, he was the Li clan’s strongest supporter now.
“Let’s go.”
After killing all the assassins, Chu Kuangren casually tossed a pile of spiritual marrow from the Toxic Hunched Daoist Celestial’s Yin and Yang ring to the innkeeper.
That amount was enough for him to open ten whole inns.
Following that, he asked Li Xueying to lead him to the Li clan. They were going to gather the Li clan disciples who were scattered all over the planet there.
On the way to the Li clan, Li Xueying handed over the Li clan’s Four Mystical Art Solar Shot Immortal Technique and forbidden technique to Chu Kuangren.
Planet Sirius, Li Clan.
As the glorious archery clan that was once the strongest force on Planet Sirius, the Li Clan’s headquarters was now taken over by the Black Blood Tower’s assassins and converted into one of their outpost branches.
On that very day.
An arrow appeared out of the sky and landed on one of the Black Blood Tower assassins in front of the Li clan’s headquarters, killing him instantly.
That shot alerted all of the assassins inside the Li clan headquarters.
“Who’s there?”
“This archery technique… It’s a member of the Li clan.”
“Hmph. They have a death wish, huh?”
Some distance away from the Li Clan’s headquarters, Chu Kuangren was slowly walking towards them. Behind him was Li Xueying, who was constantly firing arrows.
One by one, her arrows were unleashed.
The Black Blood Tower assassins wanted to dodge them but were held in place by an invisible force, rendering them immobile.
It was Chu Kuangren’s mind power.
As the arrows shot out, the assassins were killed one after another. Moments later, the Black Blood Tower assassins that occupied the Li clan’s headquarters were all wiped out.
“The Li clan… I’m finally home.”
Li Xueying looked at the mansion before her and murmured. Following that, she looked at the plaque with the words “Black Blood Tower” hung in front of the mansion and immediately blasted it off with a palm attack..
