On the arena platform, pale green Bone Corroding Powder swept toward Shen Hao like smoke. Wherever the powder passed, the air seemed to be corroded, letting out a "sizzle." Even the defensive runes at the edge of the platform rippled faintly, showing just how powerful this poisonous powder was.
The disciples below cried out in alarm, their faces changing drastically. They all knew how formidable Su Mei's Poisonous Arts were, but they had never expected her to be so vicious, using such a throat-sealing poison the moment she struck. Quite a few disciples even covered their noses, afraid that inhaling the slightest trace of the powder would bring disaster upon themselves.
Zhang Shan clenched his fists so tightly that his palms were drenched in sweat. He shouted, "Senior Brother Shen, be careful! Dodge!"
Shen Hao's expression shifted slightly. He had not expected Su Mei to use such a vicious method. The Bone Corroding Powder spread with astonishing speed, nearly sealing off every inch of space around him. It was already too late to evade.
At that critical moment, Shen Hao had no time to think. He could only pour all his remaining spiritual energy across the surface of his body, forming a thin spiritual energy shield. At the same time, his left hand flashed as he pulled out an Iron Armor Talisman and injected a thread of spiritual energy into it.
Buzz!
The Iron Armor Talisman turned into a streak of golden light and instantly adhered to Shen Hao's chest. In the blink of an eye, it formed a thin layer of golden iron armor that shimmered with heavy spiritual light. Though the Iron Armor Talisman was only a low-grade talisman, its defensive power was considerable, enough to withstand the full-force strike of a Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivator.
