“With just two brats like you, you have no chance. Within the Hidden Cloud Peak, not even a contingent of soldiers can take me down. You will only find death before you, and soon, you will find out what true agony is!” Ke Cang Ju’s face twisted grotesquely as he smiled, and his hideous face became horrifying to look at, looking like a ghastly repulsive monster just climbed out from the abyss!
The bronze bells at the end of his robes rang loudly and plumes of green smoke emitted from the bells as it permeated and spread throughout the chamber.
As the green smoke rose, Hua Yao who was still suspended on the wall, showed rare shock on his face when he had been calm even under torture. His voice panicked, he suddenly shouted: “Go! Get away quick! That is poisonous Lone Smoke!”
Ke Cang Ju’s cackling laughter rang out maniacally as he stood with his arms outstretched, staring viciously at Jun Wu Xie and Qiao Chu.
“Trash of the lower realm, you should feel honoured to die under the deadly lethal Lone Smoke!”
Volume 3
Chapter 284: “Fifth Slap (5)”
Ke Cang Ju stared at Jun Wu Xie and Qiao Chu, his eyes narrowed with malice. He knew better than anyone how lethal the Lone Smoke was. The poison manifests itself as smoke, and even if people held their breaths, the poison would still permeate into the body through the skin at the slightest touch.
The underground chamber was relatively sealed and in this enclosed space, there was nowhere for his two prey to escape!
The Lone Smoke swirled and covered every inch of the underground chamber. The two brats were as good as dead. This poison could even kill a whole contingent of soldiers!
Enjoy every ounce of agony! Within this inescapable prison, quiver in fear as death comes to claim both of you!
Ke Cang Ju face was looking more sinister as his smile grew wider. He longed to see the two impertinent youths fall before him, and cower at his feet.
Qiao Chu had at his first chance, pulled on Jun Wu Xie’s elbow, when the words “Lone Smoke” had raised the hair on the back of his neck.
“Run! The Lone Smoke is deadly lethal! The slightest contact with the smoke will kill you!” Qiao Chu pulled at Jun Wu Xie as he shouted, his face pale with fright.
He did not expect Ke Cang Ju to possess something as lethal as the Lone Smoke.
Qiao Chu pulled frantically but found that he had not moved an inch. He turned around and saw Jun Xie staring coldly at Ke Cang Ju, still smiling radiantly.
“Jun Xie? Let’s go!” Qiao Chu looked on perplexed, almost wanting to just carry her up and run from the poison.
“This is Lone Smoke?” Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow, as her mouth parted in laughter, her eyes devoid of any fear. She stared calmly into the green smoke that swirled around her, as she would at ordinary smoke.
Qiao Chu froze, as he looked at Jun Xie, thinking whether the kid had lost his mind. Shouldn’t the first reaction of a normal person when they encountered lethal poison smoke be to run? But this lunatic here was just standing there, refusing to budge, staring into it, and smiling, like it was entertainment!?
Ke Cang Ju’s horrifying smile started to fade, “You brats, people who are able to die under the Lone Smoke in the Lower Realm number few and far between. For me to use such precious poison to send you to hell, you should be feeling honoured.”
If the brat’s face had not shown him such a radiant and beautiful smile, he would not have used such rare and precious lethal Lone Smoke on them. But to be able to appreciate their faces twisted in agony before they died under the Lone Smoke, it would have been all worth it.
As he saw the poison swirl and spread further, Ke Cang Ju could not contain the excitement that surged within him. The Lone Smoke had enveloped Jun Xie and tendrils of the poison caressed her skin. It would not be long, before these arrogant brats turn into a pile of bones!
“Precious?” Jun Wu Xie laughed, as she would at a good joke. She tilted her head and looked at the smoke that continued to swirl around her, and the chill in her eyes grew colder.
“If you find such insignificant toys of yours precious, I will show you something better.” Jun Wu Xie’s words reflected her amusement and she stepped forward, and flicked her sleeves, dispelling the smoke before her.
“How can you still be alright?” Ke Cang Ju’s face froze in shock. The Lone Smoke had definitely reached her and engulfed her entire body! Why was there no reaction?
That could not be possible!
The deadly Lone Smoke should have caused an immediate reaction upon any contact with the body, and how could the brat still be fine?
“You want to harm me with play toys for children? Stop kidding me.” Jun Wu Xie said coldly.
Volume 3
Chapter 285: “Fifth Slap (7)”
Jun Wu Xie’s words left every single one of them dumbfounded, even Qiao Chu and Hua Yao were shocked.
When Ke Cang Ju had released the Lone Smoke earlier, both of them had pushed their spirit powers out from their bodies and created a protective shield around themselves. Although it could not totally keep the Lone Smoke out, it could at least slow down the poison’s effects on them.
Even so, Qiao Chu and Hua Yao were not in very good shape. Wherever the Lone Smoke had seeped through and came into contact with their skin, it burned and felt like flames were licking them, as a stinging pain was felt. Their spirit powers could not completely keep the Lone Smoke out and their skin turned a glaring shade of red and the burn spreaded to attack their vital organs, engulfing them in burning agony.
But not Jun Wu Xie, she stood unaffected, her face not showing any signs of discomfort.
The stark contrast almost made Ke Cang Ju’s eyes pop out of his head.
Ke Cang Ju’s smile twisted as the corners of his mouth twitched. He stared intensely at Jun Wu Xie, trying to find any signs of the poison’s effects on her body.
The result made him slump in despair. From head to toe, there was not a mark on Jun Wu Xie. What surprised him more was that she did not even use any spiritual powers to protect herself, she just allowed the Lone Smoke to engulf her completely before Ke Cang Ju’s eyes, standing calm and defiant.
“Impossible…..” Ke Cang Ju stared woodenly at Jun Wu Xie, unable to believe his own eyes.
The Lone Smoke was infallible, and Qiao Chu’s and Hua Yao’s reactions further ascertained that fact.
What was allowing a young brat like this to remain immune to the Lone Smoke?
“You have the antidote?” Ke Cang Ju asked of Jun Wu Xie through gritted teeth. Unless she had previously taken the antidote, no one who possessed anything below the purple leveled spirit can escape from the deadly Lone Smoke! With Jun Wu Xie’s young age, she could not possibly have attained a purple spirit!
“Antidote?” Jun Wu Xie laughed and shook her head, and her cold eyes looked at Ke Cang Ju in amusement.
“You just refuse to give up and continue to play dumb? Nothing as insignificant as this would harm me in the slightest. Just give it up.”
Jun Wu Xie stepped towards Ke Cang Ju, as the green smoke churned with her passing.
Ke Cang Ju’s face paled, and he flicked his voluminous sleeves. Several black poisoned needles flew at Jun Wu Xie, and seemingly at the same moment, Jun Wu Xie had raised a hand and cold white flashes streaked from her fingers. The clash of needles brought the needles clattering to the floor.
“Don’t you have anything new?”
The needles laid upon the floor, useless, and not a single one could even get close to Jun Wu Xie’s body.
Her lightning quick reflexes surprised even Hua Yao and Qiao Chu who watched in amazement at Jun Wu Xie’s unexpected calm.
She did not use an ounce of spiritual power but was able to throw out her needles with such speed and precision.
Where was this kid from!?
Ke Cang Ju’s darkened at that moment.
The Lone Smoke had been his trump card, but it was useless against the brat. His trusted poison needles were no
t as fast as Jun Wu Xie’s silver needles.
Ke Cang Ju had witnessed his needles stopped two times, and was certain that the brat could really bring him down with those silver needles alone!
His own affirmation made Ke Cang Ju break out in cold sweat. Within the Hidden Cloud Peak that was his to command, he found himself feeling an oppressive pressure pressing over him, making it hard for him to breathe!
This brat’s speed and precision was unbelievable!
How old was he? How could this be!?
Volume 3
Chapter 286: “Fifth Slap (8)”
Never in his worst nightmares had Ke Cang Ju ever dreamt that he would be overpowered by a mere brat, pushed to the point like this. He watched in horror as Jun Wu Xie closed the distance between them. And with every approaching step, Ke Cang Ju cringed. He flung his hands out in desperation, as puffs of smokes in various dark shades of colours sprayed towards Jun Wu Xie!
He had lived all his life with the firm belief he had in his poisons, and that brat would be no exception to the countless opponents that had died under them!
Even if the most deadly Lone Smoke had no effect, the other myriad fatal poisons he held hidden within his sleeves must have one that would kill the kid!
However, Jun Wu Xie continued forward, not even blinking, stepping through the heavily poisoned clouds of smoke that swirled around her, her cold chilling eyes shining through the dense poisonous fog.
Those eyes held nothing but utter contempt!
“Are you finished?” Jun Wu Xie asked impatiently, after seeing Ke Cang Ju’s desperate attempt to throw everything he had at his disposal right onto her.
Ke Cang Ju looked at Jun Wu Xie, and words seems to fail him at that moment. The successive gusts of smoke he released had contained tens of different lethal poisons from all over the world. Even the strongest of fighters would have fallen under his incessant onslaught with the copious amount of poison he had released.
Nevertheless, Jun Wu Xie still stood, unaffected, and her radiant smile only seemed to him, to be mocking at his weakness and hideous looks.
“I can’t believe ….. Unbelievable…..” Ke Cang Ju fell back a step, his face taking on a deathly pallor.
He had grown up hideous, his veins and arteries deformed and incomplete, and hence his contractual ring spirit had not even awoken. He cursed the heavens at the injustice, and delved headlong, committing his whole life to the study of poison. Even without the strength given by spirit powers, without a mighty contractual ring spirit, he carved out his own path with poison, to kill all who despised and went against him.
But now, his vision had been shattered, by a young boy before him.
His prized poisons that had been his pride and joy, were now a joke to Jun Wu Xie. The study and research that he had committed his whole life to, could not even harm a single strand of hair on Jun Wu Xie.
How did she overcome his life’s work so easily!?
“If you are finished, then it’s my turn next.” Jun Wu Xie’s smile widened and she retrieved a grey porcelain bottle from a cloth bag on her.
Ke Cang Ju’s eyes were fixed intently on the bottle within Jun Wu Xie’s hands, as though a ferocious beast was trapped within it.
When Jun Wu Xie poured out a tiny elixir the size of her little finger’s nail, Ke Cang Ju heaved a sigh of relief.
Ke Cang Ju had expected for a boy seemingly totally immune to the myriad poisons he released, to counter with a more fearsome and deadly poison. But the boy had instead produced a common pill, and judging by its outlook, Ke Cang Ju was certain that that was just a Bone Rotting Pill.
The Bone Rotting Pill was highly poisonous and deadly, and when ingested, the bones within the person’s body will quickly start to rot and decay. To the common man, this poison was frighteningly lethal, but to Ke Cang Ju, it could not be something more common to him.
The Bone Rotting Pill was one of the products of his whole life’s work in the study and research of poison. And most of the Qing Yun Clan’s disciples would even carry a couple of them on them at all times.
The impertinent brat actually had the cheek to try to intimidate him with his own Bone Rotting Pill? That was a joke! With every kind of poison that he produced, he had researched its contents intensively and knew everything about them. He had taken all precautions to ingest the antidotes to provide him immunity from them. No matter how much of his own poison he took, they would not have any effects on him.
“Kid, do you know where that Bone Rotting Pill you hold in your hand had originated from?” Ke Cang Ju suddenly wanted to laugh, to laugh at his own uncalled for anxiety over the boy. The boy’s immunity to his poisons had greatly surprised him, and besides that, he was just like any other ordinary boy. He must have been too shocked, and allowed panic to overcome him. Now that he had calmed down, he realised that he was not in that much of a danger.
Volume 3
Chapter 287: “Fifth Slap (9)”
Just moments ago, the needles the brat had shot out from his hands had been just common silver needles, and had contained not a trace of poison. Useless needles such as these, as long as they did not pierce into a vital spot, would not be able to cause him any harm.
Ke Cang Ju might not be confident of avoiding all of Jun Wu Xie’s needles, he was sure that he could avoid them from hitting any vital spots.
The brat was immune to the poison, but it seemed his companions were not that lucky!
Ke Cang Ju cast his eyes onto the wavering Qiao Chu behind Jun Wu Xie.
Qiao Chu had released his spirit powers to shield his body, but it was not enough to stop the Lone Smoke completely, and Qiao Chu was beginning to waver as he stood, and the skin over all over his body was glaringly red, showing the exact symptoms of having been poisoned by the Lone Smoke.
Soon, Qiao Chu would be on his last breathes.
Besides his horrifying poison, Ke Cang Ju had no other fighting abilities. If he were to be engaged in a melee with a strong spirit user, he would not last a heartbeat.
But standing before him, the young boy had no strong ring spirit, and did not seem to have attained any high level spiritual powers himself as well. At his age, even if his ring spirit had awoken, his spiritual powers should still be struggling at the red level. A tiny red leveled spirit user posed no real threat to him.
Ke Cang Ju justified and cleared his fears and doubts, and a smile crept back only his face.
Jun Wu Xie noticed the change in Ke Cang Ju’s expression and looked at the poison in her hand before she said: “So you call this Bone Rotting Pill?”
Jun Wu Xie’s question only served to reinforce Ke Cang Ju’s suspicion that the brat did not have any terrifying poison in his possession. If he was that well versed with poison, shouldn’t he have recognised the Bone Rotting Pill? An ignorant kid that couldn’t even identify the Bone Rotting Pill would not possess anything that posed a threat to him, and only stood up to him based on his body that was immune to poison!
With that belief, Ke Cang Ju regained his arrogance and sinister expression.
“Kid, you dare bring my own poison before me to intimidate me? How naive and ignorant.”
“Your own poison?” Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow. Suddenly she waved her hand forward and called out: “Little Black!”
A massive black shadow streaked forward from behind Qiao Chu, and it pounced onto Ke Cang Ju who had just regained his confidence a moment ago.
Ke Cang Ju could not even react in time to dodge and found himself knocked backwards by a brutally overwhelming force and fell onto the ground. When he recovered from the shock and the pain, he found himself helplessly pinned under a black beast’s massive paws upon his shoulders, rendering him immobile. Before his eyes, was a massive black beast’s slavering jaws, its razor sharp fangs glinting under the dim firelight!
His newly restored arrogance melted away in that instant, torn to shreds by the black beast upon him, the expression on his face replaced with one of sheer terr
or.
“You claim this is your own work, why don’t you try it on yourself?” Jun Wu Xie walked over slowly keeping herself on the side. That man was too filthy and if she were to touch him in the slightest, she would be so disgusted that she would want to skin herself, hence, she had made little black cat to do it for her.
Jun Wu Xie gestured to the black beast and the beast gave a ear splitting roar before it kicked its hind paw on the belly of Ke Cang Ju!
Ke Cang Ju screamed under the pain and with his mouth opened, Jun Wu Xie flicked her wrist and threw the tiny Bone Rotting Pill into the opened mouth. Little black cat immediately lifted its paw and pressed on the chest of Ke Cang Ju, forcing him to gasp and swallow the pill down his throat and into his belly.
Once the pill was swallowed, the black beast got off from Ke Cang Ju in disgust.
Ke Cang Ju sat up gasping heavily, holding his chest in pain, as he stared maliciously at Jun Wu Xie.

Chapter 288: “Fifth Slap (10)”
“The Bone Rotting Pill has no effect on me! Stop wasting any more of my time! Even if you manage to kill me here, Qin Yue will not spare any of you here! Do not think you can still step out of the Qing Yun Clan alive!” Ke Cang Ju said venomously to Jun Wu Xie.
“Really? Is that so?” Jun Wu Xie replied smiling.
Jun Wu Xie’s reply made Ke Cang Ju uneasy somehow but the black beast did not make any threatening moves and remained still.
Did that mean the kid would not kill him?
As Ke Cang Ju contemplated, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face. He held his hands to his face as the burning intensified. His face suddenly felt warm and wet under his fingers!?
He held out his hands and looked at them in shock, and saw his hands covered in blood. The dark blood covered both of his hands and he watched in horror as a piece of flesh fell onto his hands before him!
