Poison Master's Methods, Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets ORZ

"Little bastard, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" Xiao Yan's words instantly sent Zhang Chuanwu's rage soaring. With a sharp shout, he waved his hand, scattering a cloud of poisonous powder. Hidden within the powder was a poisoned arrow, shot from Zhang Chuanwu's sleeve.

Xiao Yan unhurriedly hopped back, lightly avoiding the poisonous powder, then tilted his head slightly and dodged the poisoned arrow concealed within it as well.

Xiao Yan gently patted his coat with his hand, as if he felt the powder had dirtied his clothes.

"Where did this mad dog come from? Your mouth is a lot more impressive than your poison master skills."

Xiao Yan's tone and manner were the very definition of asking for a beating. Zhang Chuanwu's expression instantly twisted as he roared, "Don't think you're so great just because your Soul Power is strong! The methods of us poison masters will make you wish you were dead!"

Xiao Yan understood inwardly that the reason Zhang Chuanwu had been unable to become an alchemist was probably because his Soul Power was too weak.

To become an alchemist, possessing Dou Qi of both fire and wood attributes was merely the foundation. What mattered even more was being born with powerful Soul Power.

Without the help of a Cultivation Method that cultivated the soul, whether one possessed the Soul Power strength required to become an alchemist truly depended entirely on whether the heavens were willing to feed you.

"Poison Cloud Palm!" Driven by jealous Killing Intent in his heart, Zhang Chuanwu's Poison Dou Qi began surging violently through his entire body. His right hand condensed a poisonous palm and thrust toward Xiao Yan.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan blasted out the invisible flame wave of the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler. The scorching flame wave burned away all the poison qi of the Poison Cloud Palm.

Seeing his Dou Technique so easily broken by Xiao Yan, Zhang Chuanwu let out an angry roar, and black-purple Dou Qi appeared over the surface of his body.

"Poison Qi Gauze Armor!!" The Poison Dou Qi gradually broke out of his body, finally forming a thin layer of Poison Qi Gauze Armor outside him.

This was far stronger than Lu Xing of the Mystic Rank Class's Dou Qi Gauze Armor. There was simply no way to touch this Poison Qi Gauze Armor.

Seeing that his provocation had worked, Zhang Chuanwu chose to take the initiative and attack. Xiao Yan did not stand on ceremony either, taking out the Heavy Xuan Ruler to face him.

Although he had a second-tier Antidote Pill, second-tier Antidote Pills could not cure every second-tier poison. An Antidote Pill could only be refined as a foundation. Once an alchemist was poisoned, the right medicine had to be prescribed for the illness, adding medicinal ingredients to the basic Antidote Pill in order to quickly produce a suitable Antidote Pill.

Zhang Chuanwu gave a low shout, stomped hard on the ground, and condensed wisps of poison qi in both palms to prevent Xiao Yan from breaking his Poison Cloud Palm again. His body shot wildly toward Xiao Yan.

Zhang Chuanwu's twin palms attacked like an overwhelming landslide and tidal wave, viciously and cunningly striking at Xiao Yan's heart, neck, face, and other vulnerable spots. As long as one palm landed and forced poison qi into Xiao Yan's body, victory would be his! Xiao Yan would undoubtedly die from the poison. He had great confidence in his Poison Cloud Palm.

Zhang Chuanwu was no ordinary person either. His Cultivation Level had reached the strength of a Six-Star Dou Shi, and with his strange poison powder and hidden weapons, Zhang Chuanwu was much stronger than Lu Xing.

Facing Zhang Chuanwu's vicious attacks, Xiao Yan's figure kept retreating slightly. Relying on the broad surface of the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand to block horizontally, he completely withstood the offensive of the Poison Cloud Palm.

The Heavy Xuan Ruler was a weapon paired with the Earth Rank Dou Technique, Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler. Forged from meteorite iron from beyond the heavens, it naturally could not possibly fear poison.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!!

The two exchanged blows in both attack and defense. As they moved, every time the Poison Cloud Palm clashed with the Black Ruler, a little of the Poison Cloud Palm's poison qi splashed into the air, and when Xiao Yan breathed, he inhaled a trace of it.

After entangling with Xiao Yan in close combat for a while longer, Zhang Chuanwu finally thoroughly grasped Xiao Yan's strength. He was actually not even a Dou Shi, merely a Dou Zhe, and an Eight-Star Dou Zhe at that.

The more Zhang Chuanwu fought, the more alarmed he became. An Eight-Star Dou Zhe was actually fighting him, a Six-Star Dou Shi, to a standstill! "No, it's his Soul Power! How can his soul perception be this strong!"

All of Zhang Chuanwu's sneak attacks were dodged by Xiao Yan, as though Xiao Yan knew his next move in advance.

If a poison master's sneak attack methods were ineffective, Zhang Chuanwu was actually weaker than many Six-Star Dou Shi.

His gaze sharpened. In the instant Zhang Chuanwu was shocked and distracted, Xiao Yan suddenly swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler and hurled the enormous ruler at Zhang Chuanwu. Then, taking advantage of the moment Zhang Chuanwu dodged, he abruptly flashed behind him.

"Don't tell me you really thought I didn't dare touch you." Xiao Yan's cold, sinister laugh made Zhang Chuanwu's entire body turn cold.

"Eight Extremities Collapse!"

Xiao Yan's fist was suddenly filled with a shocking, ferocious power. His clenched fist brought with it the oppressive sound of tearing air as it viciously smashed toward Zhang Chuanwu's back.

Xiao Yan had been waiting precisely for this instant, the instant when Zhang Chuanwu truly believed he did not dare touch his Poison Qi Gauze Armor and let down his guard.

The powerful force that suddenly attacked from behind made Zhang Chuanwu's expression change wildly. The Poison Dou Qi inside his body surged madly, and the Poison Qi Gauze Armor on the surface of his back once again became much thicker.

Pang! The muffled sound of contact quietly rang out across the arena. Although low, it contained an unmistakable sense of solid power.

The terrifying force of the mastered Eight Extremities Collapse directly made Zhang Chuanwu's face go abruptly pale. His body suddenly pitched forward, flipping several times through the air before finally landing a few meters away, somewhat unsteadily.

Xiao Yan looked at the wound on his fist. Zhang Chuanwu had a piece of protective armor on him that had blocked part of the Eight Extremities Collapse's attack, preventing an instant kill.

Without another word, Xiao Yan swallowed a Medicinal Pill. This was not used to neutralize poison, but to delay the outbreak of the toxin. After the battle was over, Xiao Yan would detoxify himself.

Zhang Chuanwu stood up trembling and looked at Xiao Yan, then burst into wild laughter. "Hahaha, it's useless even if you have an Antidote Pill! Your hand is stained with my poison. You can't escape!"

As soon as his words fell, Zhang Chuanwu suddenly vomited. Countless tiny black poisonous insects split open from the vomit, and countless poisonous bugs as small as ants crawled out.

Xiao Yan's brows furrowed tightly. Even he felt extremely nauseated seeing this scene.

The Chuyun Empire had the most cultivators of poison-attribute Dou Qi. Xiao Yan had seen descriptions in some books about poison masters of a special poison-attribute Cultivation Method, which used one's own poison-attribute Dou Qi vortex as a breeding bed to cultivate poisonous insects inside the body.

It was just like raising gu. These poison masters used their own bodies as gu vessels. Although doing so could cultivate powerful poisonous insects, the toxins secreted by the poisonous insects would cause poison to continuously accumulate inside the poison master's body. In the end, they would either die from the buildup of toxins, or their Poison Dou Qi would be insufficient to provide for the poisonous insects, and they would ultimately be devoured by them.

Xiao Yan had not expected to actually encounter one today. No wonder Zhang Chuanwu's face was deathly pale; even someone dead for three days would not be as white as him. So this was the reason.

"Hehehe, my Poison Water Ants will attack any target stained with Poison Dou Qi until death. Once bitten by a Poison Water Ant, you'll wish you were dead. Your body will lose feeling, then slowly rot, and only after enduring a full day and night of torment will you slowly die." Zhang Chuanwu wiped the remaining vomit from the corner of his mouth, his smile perverse and crazed.

It made one's scalp crawl and nearly made one vomit.

Countless poisonous insects spread their wings, flying over like water ants on a rainy day, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

Facing the swarm of poisonous insects that filled the sky, Xiao Yan remained completely calm. With a flip of his right hand, he took out the three-mouthed alchemy cauldron he had obtained from the auction in Wutan City from his Storage Ring.

With a slap of his hand, Dou Qi surged into the alchemy cauldron. With a whoosh, roaring flames began burning inside it. Xiao Yan still could not form corporeal flames right now and needed to rely on the alchemy cauldron.

Xiao Yan fiercely threw a second-tier fire-attribute Magic Core into the alchemy cauldron. However, this time he did not intend to perform Alchemy. He directly opened the alchemy cauldron and detonated the Magic Core. In an instant, flames rose all over the sky, surging like a fiery Feng toward the Poison Water Ants that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
