Chapter 539: Drug Control
Learning that his younger brother had already died at Yang Haoran's hands, the elderly Exorcist, without a word, immediately controlled his magic tool and launched an attack on Yang Haoran.
The old man's magic tool was a uniquely shaped bronze mirror. It resembled a human face and had a sharp spike at its end. From its design, it was clear this bronze mirror could be used for both long-range and close-quarters combat.
In his extreme rage, the old man chose a long-range attack. Under his control, the bronze mirror soared into the air, spewing a beam of golden light towards Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran made no move. With a flick of his thought, Remnant Moon appeared before him, intercepting the golden beam as it rapidly spun.
Missing his strike, the old man did not give up. With a furious roar, he frenziedly urged the bronze mirror, causing beam after beam of golden light to continuously erupt from it, as if he swore not to rest until Yang Haoran was slain.
Yang Haoran, naturally, was not intimidated by his opponent's momentum. He mobilized the Spirit Power within his body, continuously channeling it into Remnant Moon through his hands to withstand the old man's fierce assault.
“Calm down! You only lost one brother, didn't you? I've even lost my wife! Don't forget the purpose of our journey here! As long as you're strong enough, everyone will be your junior! ”
Seeing this, the Black Talisman Master roared at the elderly Exorcist, his words imbued with a strong sense of frustrated disappointment.
On one side was desire, on the other was hatred. He desperately wanted to use every means to avenge his deceased younger brother, but he couldn't let go of the desire in his heart.
Ultimately, he made his choice!
“I know what to do! I'll hold back this Underworld Official! You seize the opportunity to quickly subdue Pharmacist Feng! Then we'll immediately withdraw from this place! ”
The elderly Exorcist's response allowed the Black Talisman Master to let out a breath of relief. At that moment, his greatest fear was the elderly Exorcist losing his composure and acting rashly, which would put him at a disadvantage too.
He didn't respond, because at that moment he had no chance to. Just as he was reminding the elderly Exorcist, Pharmacist Feng had taken out a bottle of medicine and consumed it. After ingesting the liquid medicine, Pharmacist Feng's power fluctuations surged dramatically. The originally very weak Pharmacist Feng suddenly became ferocious, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Under Pharmacist Feng's control, the lake below violently boiled. The lake water condensed into a black python, as thick as a water bucket, and lunged towards the Black Talisman Master.
Facing this situation, how could the Black Talisman Master have leisure to reply to the elderly Exorcist? He flashed his body, dodging the python's attack.
Although he dodged the python's bite, his body was still struck by its tail. The immense force of the impact sent his body hurtling towards the lake below like a cannonball.
The Black Talisman Master had personally witnessed how potent the lake water's toxicity was, so he dared not allow himself to actually fall into it. Just as his body was about to touch the water, he forcibly halted his descent.
A corner of his clothing dipped into the lake water, and immediately a plume of green smoke rose, demonstrating the potent toxicity and corrosiveness of the lake water.
No sooner had his body stabilized than the python, under Pharmacist Feng's control, changed direction and lunged at the Black Talisman Master once more. Seeing this, the Black Talisman Master's body flashed again.
Boom! ! !
The python plunged headfirst into the lake, stirring up a massive surge of water.
The Black Talisman Master successfully evaded the python's attack, but not a hint of relief was visible on his face. This was because the python's tail strike earlier had not only caused some physical damage to him but also infected him with a potent toxin.
The python was condensed from lake water, so the poisonous smoke rising from its surface was highly toxic. The moment the poisonous smoke touched his skin, the affected area immediately throbbed with intense pain, and his skin instantly turned black.
Furthermore, before his body was about to fall into the lake, although he managed to stabilize himself in mid-air, he was also enveloped by the poisonous mist rising from the water's surface. This mist similarly had a considerable effect on him.
The Black Talisman Master knew he had been infected by a potent poison. If he didn't deal with it immediately, the poison would quickly spread throughout his body, and then he would be the one to die.
Facing this situation, he immediately mobilized a portion of his power to force the infected poison out of his body. Since he had only just been infected, the potent toxin had not yet fully permeated or spread throughout his system, so he easily expelled it.
Subsequently, he expended another portion of his power to condense a protective barrier on his body's surface. With this barrier in place, his safety was greatly assured; as long as the barrier didn't shatter, the potent toxin wouldn't affect him.
At the same time, with a loud boom, the python burst through the water's surface and, under Pharmacist Feng's control, launched another attack on the Black Talisman Master.
This time, the Black Talisman Master did not continue to dodge, because he understood very well that constant evasion would only make him more passive and prevent him from achieving his goal quickly.
So this time he didn't dodge. Instead, he waved his hands and took out several Black Talismans from his independent space!
The talismans transformed into several streaks of black light, shooting rapidly and sticking one after another onto the attacking python in mere moments.
The instant the several Black Talismans adhered to the python's body, they immediately burned to ashes. Simultaneously, several bursts of icy cold energy erupted, and with a series of cracking sounds, the ferocious python was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture!
Shatter! ! !
The ice sculpture shattered, transforming into a pile of ice chunks that fell into the lake below.
The python contained potent poison, so to prevent the toxin from affecting himself, the Black Talisman Master decisively used ice talismans. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about being affected by the virulent poison.
However, the python was massive, and a single ice talisman would not be enough to deal with it. To avoid wasting time, he was not stingy and used several ice talismans at once, instantly freezing the python into an ice sculpture.
With the python destroyed, a pained groan escaped Pharmacist Feng's lips. The python had been condensed from his power and was under his control; its destruction had also affected his body to some extent.
Normally, the python's destruction wouldn't have much of an impact on him, but the current situation was different. He was severely wounded, and every slight impact would worsen his injuries.
If it weren't for the extraordinary medicine he had just consumed, he probably wouldn't have much fighting strength left by now. It was precisely because of the medicine's assistance that he merely let out a groan; otherwise, he would have long since coughed up blood.
After the python shattered, Pharmacist Feng did not stop. A furious roar erupted from his mouth, and using his own power, he once again condensed two pythons, each as thick as a water bucket.
Upon appearing, the two pythons let out a roar and lunged at the Black Talisman Master.
At the same time, the poisonous mist rising from the lake surface also condensed into all sorts of strange and grotesque venomous insects: poisonous snakes, toads, scorpions, and some unknown bugs.
These venomous insects were also Pharmacist Feng's masterpiece. After condensing the two pythons, he had no intention of stopping. Instead, he continued in one breath, condensing the poisonous mist into various venomous insects. Although these insects were not large, their numbers were immense, tens of thousands densely packed, enough to make one's scalp tingle at a mere glance.
This scene not only startled the Black Talisman Master but also shocked the elderly Exorcist and Yang Haoran. This was because every one of these venomous insects emitted a considerable power fluctuation; if they all swarmed over, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Pharmacist Feng did not have an easy time unleashing this move either. Although his physical condition had temporarily improved and he had gained a boost in strength after consuming the medicine, after performing this technique, he seemed to have been instantly emptied. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and the complexion beneath his mask instantly turned pale.
“Pharmacist Feng! Are you trying to die? ! Though you are a Pharmacist, overdrawing your body like this is just seeking death! We only want your help to refine some Dānyào! You don't need to fight to the death! ”
While dodging the attacks of the two pythons, the Black Talisman Master simultaneously took out several ice talismans from his independent space and roared at Pharmacist Feng, hoping to make him change his mind through this method!
“Hmph! Are you scared now? Too late! ” Pharmacist Feng scoffed coldly, his voice replying to the Black Talisman Master.
His voice was cold, firm, yet it sounded incredibly weak.
