Chapter 398 - Night Spirit’s Blood
“Su Zimo, what are you doing?!”
“Audacious!”
“How arrogant!”
Many Elixir Yang Sect disciples shouted emotionally.
No matter what, Yan Jun was a disciple of the sect’s Battle Hall and Tang Yu was the only one who was above him in status. He was not somebody that an outsider like Su Zimo could compare to!
Tang Yu could clearly see that although Yan Jun’s cheeks were swollen, he had merely fainted and did not sustain any severe injuries.
Given Su Zimo’s strength, if he truly wanted to kill in that distance, Yan Jun’s head would have been smashed by that single slap!
In other words, Su Zimo had already shown mercy.
The bloodied hole on the glabella of the corpse was clear evidence that Night Spirit did it.
“You want an explanation? Sure, I’ll give you an explanation,”
Surveying his surroundings, Su Zimo said indifferently, “Night Spirit won’t harm anyone for no reason. If that person is dead, it must be because he crossed Night Spirit’s bottom line.”
“Bullshit!”
An Elixir Yang Sect cultivator with a long face hollered, “Junior Brother Pu was trying to head forward and check out of goodwill. However, your beast killed him without any reason at all! We saw it for ourselves and you’re still trying to deny it?!”
Su Zimo smiled and glared at that guy sharply with a cold gaze, replying with a deep intent, “It was true that he came forward to check things out. However, we don’t know whether it was out of goodwill.”
“What do you mean by that!”
A hint of panic flashed through that person’s eyes.
Su Zimo turned towards Tang Yu and asked, “Young Master Tang, you mentioned that the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison is extremely toxic and contagious, right?”
“That’s right.”
Tang Yu nodded and her eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something.
“Even you would be afraid of going forward casually, am I right?” Su Zimo continued asking.
“Yes.”
Tang Yu admitted with a nod.
Indeed, she did not dare to get close after realizing that Xiaoning was inflicted with the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison. It was not because she was cold blooded, it was merely logic.
Suddenly, Tang Yu’s heart jolted and she realized what was wrong.
She murmured softly, “Why would Junior Brother Pu be the first to head up and check something that even I wouldn’t dare to?”
Uncle Liang nodded in silence.
Tang Yu continued, “Most importantly, there’s no antidote available for the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison. There’s no reason for Junior Brother Pu to head forward at all.”
Many Elixir Yang Sect cultivators came to their senses when they heard that.
They wouldn’t have gone forward if it was them in that position.
Furthermore, what was the point of risking their lives to head forward and check when they wouldn’t be able to do anything about the poison either?
Tang Yu’s gaze turned cold as she glared at the corpse on the floor without saying anything more.
Su Zimo’s gaze flashed like lightning towards the long-faced cultivator and said slowly, “I’m guessing that the reason why the person went forward to check wasn’t because Xiaoning was poisoned. It was because Xiaoning didn’t die from the poison!”
The long-faced cultivator’s expression changed slightly as his eyes flickered; he did not dare to meet with Su Zimo’s gaze.
Squinting his eyes, Su Zimo said word by word, “That person’s killing intent appeared after finding out that Xiaoning wasn’t dead and that was why he was killed by Night Spirit!”
“Fellow Daoist, am I right?” Su Zimo was intimidating.
The long-faced cultivator forced a laugh. “H-How would I know?”
Walking slowly towards the long-faced cultivator, Su Zimo asked with a sinisterly dark gaze, “What are you afraid of?”
“I’m not…”
“In this short period of time, your heart has been racing and your breathing turned hurried. You’re clearly panicking. Also… I sensed your killing intent towards me a moment ago!”
By the time he was finished speaking, Su Zimo had already arrived in front of the long-faced cultivator.
The person’s face was frightfully pale as he stumbled backwards instinctively. Even the other cultivators could tell that he was looking guilty.
