Chapter 1064: Chapter 261: Five Poison Sect and the Gu God
“You…”
The young boy looked at Chen Jie with a face full of shock and disbelief.
“How could you possibly be okay!”
Chen Jie smiled and looked at him, saying, “White Fragrance Powder, along with Lantern Sweet Dates, forms the most famous poison in Xiangxi, Soft Muscle Powder.”
“Quite ingenious, I must say, you’re adept at using mixed poisons.”
Chen Jie continued eating the Lantern Sweet Dates in his mouth; indeed, these dates, which grow deep in the Xiangxi mountains and require special medicinal watering, are truly sweet.
Hearing this, the reputable sect’s Senior Brother who had fallen to the ground looked up at Chen Jie and said, “But it’s not poisonous, I tested it with a silver needle, neither the noodles nor the dates are poisonous.”
Chen Jie glanced at the reputable sect’s Senior Brother, a bit skeptical if he was rendered stupid by the poison, and said, “I already mentioned the Mixed Poison Technique, the noodles contain hundred-spice powder, which is made by mixing hundreds of herbs, ground into powder with a special aroma, used as a seasoning.”
“Especially when stewing lamb, adding a bit really makes it taste good, but it can’t be mixed with these Lantern Sweet Dates.”
“So do you understand now? The noodles aren’t poisoned, the dates aren’t poisoned, but together, they form the Miao Territory’s deadly poison, Soft Muscle Powder.”
“Isn’t that right, Lord Protector?”
Chen Jie looked at the young boy, whose face had collected from shock, and he said to Chen Jie, “Well, very well, I truly didn’t expect anyone in the Jianghu to understand poison techniques so well. What’s your name, which sect are you from, are you interested in joining our Five Poison Sect? I might consider sparing your life.”
Chen Jie chuckled upon hearing this and said, “Hehe, sparing my life, thank you, but since you’re so courteous, may I ask two questions?”
The young boy slightly frowned and looked at Chen Jie, “What do you want to ask?”
Chen Jie said, “Is your Five Poison Sect crazy? Why poison us Jianghu people passing through this desolate wilderness?”
“And more importantly, you’re only poisoning but not killing, which is even stranger. Do you have some sort of conspiracy?”
The young boy was surprised and looked at Chen Jie, saying, “How do you know we’re poisoning but not killing?”
Chen Jie said, “Isn’t it obvious? If you wanted to directly poison us to death, you wouldn’t be using this Soft Muscle Powder, you’d use Five-step Kill, or even more deadly, Blood Seal Throat poison, not just something to knock us down.”
Hearing this, the young boy laughed, “Heh, indeed, I didn’t expect you to notice this, I’m appreciating you more and more, young man, will you join our Five Poison Sect? I can promise you a Steward position to the Sect Hierarch.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie said, “Thank you for your kindness, but honestly, I don’t really like working for others.”
The young boy looked at Chen Jie and said, “Won’t you reconsider?”
Chen Jie looked at the young boy and said, “Lord Protector, can you answer my questions first before we talk about anything else?”
The young boy said, “Since you’re unwilling to join my Five Poison Sect, everything else is superfluous. If you’ve come to our Five Poison Sect’s territory, even a dragon must crawl, and a tiger must crouch!”
“Kill him!”
With that, the young boy made a move, his small body lightly tapped the ground, and then immediately struck a palm towards Chen Jie.
Chen Jie saw this and struck back with his own palm, directly targeting the young boy.
But just as the young boy got close, Chen Jie suddenly felt alarmed in his heart, something was wrong, there was something up with this boy.
Thinking this, Chen Jie suddenly saw as the boy struck towards him, a small emerald-green snake sprang from his sleeve, aiming to bite Chen Jie’s outstretched right hand.
If they exchanged palms, it was uncertain whether he could repel the boy, but the snake would definitely bite him.
And although the snake looked small, its bright color clearly indicated that it was venomous; if he got bitten, it would be fatal.
Thinking this, Chen Jie was shocked and pulled back his palm, following up by taking a step back.
At this moment, the young boy landed at the spot where Chen Jie had just been, Xiao Hu saw this, raised his Falchion Knife, and slashed towards the young boy. The young boy turned around, and Chen Jie immediately shouted, “Watch out!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu leapt up, and at that moment saw the young boy wave his hand, scattering a handful of white Poison Powder.
Xiao Hu was greatly startled, grabbing Yu Chun and pulling away from the range of the table, nearly getting caught by the Poison Powder, narrowly escaping.
Yu Chun felt a lingering fear.
At this moment, Chen Jie flipped his hand, and the Chrysalis Blade appeared in his hand, charging directly at the young boy, and said to Xiao Hu, “You and Yu Chun deal with these bandits, be careful, these guys might also use poison.”
Hearing this, Xiao Hu brandished the Falchion Knife and charged at the Miao bandits.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie charged at the young boy, who, seeing Chen Jie approach, waved his hand, throwing a handful of poison powder at him.
Seeing this, Chen Jie raised his left hand, and immediately began the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms.
Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!
Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness!
Roar…
With a palm strike, a powerful wave scattered the poison powder in the air.
Chen Jie then charged forward, and the young boy, seeing Chen Jie getting close, instantly struck a palm towards him. Seeing the strike coming, Chen Jie was greatly alarmed and hurriedly jumped up.
A stream of poison smoke shot out from the young boy’s hand.
The poison smoke flew out; behind Chen Jie was a Miao bandit who didn’t dodge, caught directly by the poison smoke.
In the next second, there was a tragic scream: “Ah~”
