"Hmm?"
When Guo Chen crushed the toad, a golden venom spread across his palm. Although large amounts of darkness immediately seeped from the corroded wound to resist the golden venom, the effect was not particularly noticeable.
The vast amount of darkness could only neutralize a small portion of the golden venom. It was not until Guo Chen's entire arm had been corroded away and even the left half of his body had become horribly mutilated that the golden venom was completely dispelled.
