Chapter 128: Kill Him

Jiliu Jia discovered that his speed was much faster than before. The reason was simple: he had already reached the strength of Three Turns, Three Stars, a full six grades higher than a year ago.

Mei Jier naturally also discovered this problem. Although still rather weak, she couldn’t keep up with Jiliu Jia. In her eyes, Jiliu Jia was a nobody she could crush with a flick of her hand. Now, being unable to catch up to him startled Mei Jier greatly. “Scoundrel, you’d better come down yourself, or when I recover, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!”

For Jiliu Jia to come down would be like committing suicide. Surrendering meant death, and being captured and torn to pieces also meant death. Since death was inevitable, he might as well fight.

However, at this moment, another figure appeared, it was Bing Han Yanyan. From her eyes, one could tell she had just cried with genuine heartbreak. “Scoundrel, I will kill you, and then I will take my own life!” As soon as she finished speaking, several ice shards shot out.

To deal with one opponent with virtually no chance of winning, and now to face two, wouldn’t that truly be a horrible death?

Jiliu Jia flapped his massive wings and turned to flee. However, he suddenly felt waves of coldness pass through his body. The figures of the two women behind him were incredibly fast, and they were about to catch up to Jiliu Jia.

Both women attacked simultaneously, but Jiliu Jia suddenly plummeted into the lava lake like a kite with a broken string. The moment he touched the lava lake surface, the previously scorching lava instantly froze in a circle around Jiliu Jia, and then spread outwards.

The two women were also stunned. What was going on? Suddenly, Mei Jier grabbed Bing Han Yanyan’s arm and felt no coldness. Bing Han Yanyan herself also discovered the problem; she couldn’t even feel the cold poison in her body anymore.

“Could it be?” Bing Han Yanyan looked at Mei Jier in disbelief.

Mei Jier nodded, “I think so!”

Jiliu Jia unintentionally occupied the bodies of the two women. Regardless of whether he intended to or not, he had certainly taken advantage. Since he had taken advantage, he naturally had to pay a price. The cold poison in Bing Han Yanyan’s body was, after their deep contact, very casually transferred into Jiliu Jia’s body.

Bing Han Yanyan has the Extreme Cold Physique, so this cold poison, though deep, would not cause her fundamental harm. But Jiliu Jia was different; his body was not of the Extreme Cold Physique. The impact of the cold poison entering his body was immense. Away from Bing Han Yanyan’s Extreme Cold Physique, the cold poison erupted completely. If Jiliu Jia’s body did not contain the Extreme Cold Fire, Morning Blue Cold Fire, he probably wouldn’t have lasted a moment.

The two looked at each other, neither showing any intention to make a move. Time ticked by, and both wanted to hear the other’s thoughts, but neither would speak first. Finally, Bing Han Yanyan couldn’t stand it and asked, “Should we kill him?” Bing Han Yanyan’s tone clearly conveyed her hesitation.

Mei Jier glanced at Jiliu Jia and gritted her teeth twice. “For now, we’ll let him go. Once he cures my younger sister’s Viper Flower Poison, then I’ll make my move!” As she spoke, she retracted her palms.

Bing Han Yanyan stared blankly at Mei Jier. “En, I don’t think it’s right to take advantage of his weakness. Once he cures that cold poison, I’ll make my move, and then I’ll take my own life!”

These two had a great deal of unspoken understanding, both searching for a reason to comfort themselves. In reality, if the other were to make a move, they would have immediately rushed forward to end Jiliu Jia’s life. But that didn’t happen. Neither wanted to be the first to act, and the final result was that neither did.

The cold poison had completely erupted within Jiliu Jia’s body. Meanwhile, the ice layer on the lava lake continued to spread rapidly, and Jiliu Jia’s body was as cold as ice. He could even feel the Morning Blue Cold Fire dimming considerably.

At this moment, Jiliu Jia painstakingly mobilized his Magic Power to control his meridians. However, even with this, the cold poison continued to spread.

Just then, Bing Han Yanyan walked up to Jiliu Jia and, with a sweep of her hand, a pile of medicinal herbs appeared before him. “Here, these are all the medicinal herbs needed to cure the cold poison. The Extreme Cold Nine-Colored Spirit Grass is with you, Chuan Gan Lan is also with you, and the medicinal recipe is with you too. Refine the antidote yourself!”

Jiliu Jia, trembling, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Bing Han Yanyan. A very unsightly smile appeared on his stiff face. “You’re not going to kill me anymore?”

“Who said that? I just don’t want to take advantage of your weakness. So hurry up and get better, then I’ll kill you!” With that, she turned and left. At this point, everywhere visible in the lava lake had turned to ice.

Coming to Mei Jier’s side, Bing Han Yanyan couldn’t help but tremble. “This cold poison is really so potent. I really don’t know if he’ll die!”

Bing Han Yanyan’s voice was very quiet, but Mei Jier heard it clearly. “Little bitch, didn’t you want him dead very badly?”

Bing Han Yanyan was stunned. “I did want him dead, but after all, he did help me. Oh, and who are you calling a little bitch! Little demon, do you want to fight?” The first sentence was spoken from her heart, but the second was entirely to cover up the first.

“Hmph, am I afraid of you!” Mei Jier retorted, unwilling to back down.

Jiliu Jia looked helplessly at the two women who had started fighting again. “I say, can you two stop fighting and quickly find an exit!” However, Jiliu Jia’s words were clearly ignored.

Unable to even protect himself, Jiliu Jia no longer cared about the two of them. With a movement of his Divine Sense, a medicinal recipe appeared in his mind. Xuantian Cold Pill, an Upper Grade Three-Pattern medicinal pill. Xuantian Hot Pill, an Upper Grade Three-Pattern medicinal pill. Damn, Upper Grade Three-Pattern, I can’t refine that!

Just then, a gentle but cold voice came from his eyebrow center. “Eat all those medicinal herbs immediately. I will refine the antidote for you inside your stomach!”

Jiliu Jia was stunned. The speaker was Yao Xianzi. However, Jiliu Jia was not happy at all; instead, his heart was filled with wrath. “I ask you, were those three green pills you refined?”

“Stop the nonsense. If you don’t want to die, eat those medicinal herbs quickly!” Yao Xianzi’s cold voice echoed again.

“What if I don’t eat them?”

“Hmph, if you don’t eat them, you’ll die within two days, and then you’ll never see your Sister Shanrou again!”

Hearing Xu Shanrou’s name, Jiliu Jia’s body trembled. For Xu Shanrou, he had to survive. “Fine, I’ll listen to you, but I won’t let the matter of you drugging me slide!”

“A scoundrel who takes advantage and then acts like a victim!” Yao Xianzi said again.

Jiliu Jia activated his Divine Sense, and two Nine-Colored Spirit Grasses and the Chuan Gan Lan flew out. Jiliu Jia took a deep breath, and a large pile of medicinal herbs entered his mouth. He then felt his Divine Sense become uncontrollable as a more powerful Divine Sense was injected into his body.

Purple flames burned fiercely. Yao Xianzi found the information recorded in the medicinal recipe within Jiliu Jia’s Divine Sense, and the alchemy began within Jiliu Jia’s body.

Jiliu Jia endured the torment of ice and fire, while Mei Jier and Bing Han Yanyan were also fighting fiercely. Time quickly passed, and three days went by, with everything still ongoing.

Two red, three-patterned pills appeared within Jiliu Jia’s body and then vanished instantly. At the same time, Yao Xianzi’s voice transmitted again. “The antidote has been refined. The rest is up to you. However, don’t blame me for not reminding you: the cold poison will not be completely removed. You’d best use your Morning Blue Cold Fire to refine the remaining traces!”

His body trembled, and Jiliu Jia felt his Divine Sense regaining control. He immediately mobilized his Divine Sense to search within his body for traces of the cold poison and the antidote. At this point, the medicinal power of the antidote began to take effect, and the cold poison scattered in escape. Jiliu Jia’s Divine Sense naturally had to lock onto this cold poison and allow the antidote to engulf it.

One day later, Jiliu Jia’s body was no longer so cold, and the frozen lava lake showed signs of thawing. Another day passed, and Jiliu Jia plunged into the lava lake with a splash. This warm sensation made Jiliu Jia tremble. His body shot out of the lava lake surface, and with his wings spread, Jiliu Jia, like a newborn monkey, leaped and soared, flying up and down.

However, Jiliu Jia also discovered that the cold poison had not actually been removed but was tightly encased within his body by the antidote. Activating his Divine Sense, he pried open a small opening in the antidote, and a trace of cold poison immediately emerged. Jiliu Jia then quickly sealed the antidote.

The trace of cold poison that emerged was quickly enveloped by Jiliu Jia’s Morning Blue Cold Fire, and his Magic Power surged. Jiliu Jia found that his Morning Blue Cold Fire was completely unable to refine this trace of cold poison. The truth was not that Yao Xianzi had lied, but that Jiliu Jia’s strength was not yet sufficient.

The three-colored qi whirlpool suddenly accelerated its rotation, and his Magic Power quickly pushed the trace of cold poison towards Jiliu Jia’s index finger. Then, Jiliu Jia’s Divine Sense surged, and with a low roar, the trace of cold poison shot out from Jiliu Jia’s fingertip. A white air mist violently impacted the lava lake surface, and the lake instantly froze over.

Jiliu Jia was surprised. It seemed this cold poison could serve as his secret weapon at specific times. Just as Jiliu Jia was feeling pleased, a voice called out, “Scoundrel, hurry over here, we’ve found an exit!”
