The discussion outside subsided, but the battle between the two continued.
"Xu Kun, you wanted to use a trap to subdue me? Sorry, but I'm afraid that won't work!"
"Now, you've become my prey again!"
"Though I appreciate the help you gave me just now, your performance has still disappointed me somewhat!"
"Is this as far as your mastery of poison goes?"
"Then you can't defeat me!"
The trap created by Lotus Steps had not only failed to inflict fatal injuries on Sima Dai, but had instead made his aura even more powerful. Externally, his plague force had grown so dense that it had become tangible!
"You're talking as if you can defeat me!"

Sima Dai gripped Ink Shadow Ephemeral Life tightly and said with a serious expression, "Then I'm truly looking forward to seeing what kind of poison mastery you can display!"
"You'll see it soon enough!"
"Poison Conversion—Lightning, Soul!"
Thunderous Might and invisible waves of soul power now filled the spreading Poison Domain. Even without Illusion-Shattering Divine
