Chapter 1127 Help Me Free Myself, Azure Vine Poison
"Will you fight?"
These two simple words seemed to carry the power of boundless laws, causing the chessboard surrounding everyone to tremble violently, as if it might collapse at any moment. Along with the chessboard, the minds of everyone present also trembled.
"The Supreme Being of the Moon Gazing! He is actually the Supreme Being of the Moon Gazing! I have read ancient texts before. He single-handedly suppressed an entire era, so much so that no region dared to show its face. He even forced the entire demon race to retreat to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, achieving true invincibility in the world, with no rivals left!"
"Isn't he rumored to have ascended to immortality after becoming invincible among mortals? Why is he here, and why has he become the Supreme Immortal Puppet of the Three Immortal Islands? What's going on?"
"Two powerful figures from different eras have agreed to a duel. He actually wants to challenge the Sword Saint, who is the strongest in his era. I never thought we would be able to witness such a battle. I have no regrets in this life!"
"..."
Exclamations of surprise rippled through the crowd, all eyes drawn to the Supreme Being, who was wrapped in bandages and had only one eye remaining.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Every era has its geniuses and its strongmen, but there can only be one number one in every era!
They are recognized as the strongest, having fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They have experienced countless battles, left behind countless legends, and defeated countless enemies of their time. Even when people talk about it in private, they can't help but compare the number one in their era with the number one in the past.
But despite the comparisons, everyone knows the truth in their hearts.
Two people from different eras can never truly fight each other. But now, not only has the Supreme Moon Gazing appeared, but he has even directly challenged the Old Sword Saint, the number one swordsman of our time.
Such a scene is worthy of being recorded in history.
The battle that followed was destined to become a supreme battle that everyone present would remember for a lifetime!
only……
To everyone's surprise, the old swordsman shook his head directly when faced with the challenge:
"No time."
he……
He actually refused!
"Is it because of those five people?"
The Moon-Gazing Supreme was also taken aback, seemingly not expecting the Sword Saint to refuse him. He turned his gaze to the five, including the Immaculate Zen Master: "You have almost drained all their cultivation. Even if you temporarily give up attacking them, they have no way to escape."
In such a short time, these five people were no longer able to speak. Their cultivation was exhausted, and even some of their essence had been drained away.
They've almost completely lost their human form.
Seeing that the Sword Saint remained silent, the Moon Gazing Supreme spoke again:
“The Three Immortal Islands have kept me alive until now, and I should do something for them. Let’s have a duel, with them as the stakes. If you win, their lives, my life, and the lives of the other Supreme Immortal Puppets are all yours. If you lose, let me take them away.”
The Sword Saint remained silent and offered no response.
The Supreme Being of the Moon frowned, somewhat puzzled: "With your strength, you shouldn't be afraid of any challenge, so what are you worried about?"
"I just don't want to kill someone who has already resolved to die and is eager to die," the old sword saint said softly, shaking his head.
Desire to die.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Being of the Moon Gazing was momentarily stunned.
He then gave a bitter smile: "Then consider it helping me to be free, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the other Supreme Immortal Puppets beside him looked at the Moon Gazing Supreme in shock. They never expected that this supreme powerhouse, whom they all acknowledged and even feared, would actually seek death to escape his fate.
They don't understand.
But as this confusion arose, they couldn't help but fall silent.
Yes.
Living like this is sometimes not a blessing, but rather a misfortune, and even a form of torture.
Is death not also a kind of liberation?
This time, the Sword Saint fell into a long silence once again, as if the chirping of cicadas in summer had suddenly stopped, making people feel uneasy.
"You have high hopes for him, and he has indeed exceeded expectations. Perhaps in another thousand years, his achievements will surpass our peaks, forging a path we have never walked before." Breaking the silence was once again the Moon Gazing Supreme, who looked at Gu Xiu, his single eye filled with undisguised admiration:
"That's good."
"Win or lose, I will give him a chance as compensation, how about that?"
This caused a stir among the crowd.
All eyes turned to Gu Xiu, utterly astonished by his incredible luck. A former number one figure in the world had personally offered him a fortuitous opportunity. Only the group of Supreme Immortal Puppets beside Immortal Venerable Wangyue were beginning to stir.
"Senior, this kid is an obstacle on our path to immortality. We can't give him any opportunities."
"He's the person the Three Immortal Islands specifically ordered to be killed. You should kill him, not spare his life or even give him a chance!"
"If we allow him to continue growing, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"..."
They were genuinely panicked. The battle just now had made them realize the threat Gu Xiu posed. In fact, even without the orders from the Three Immortal Islands, they all hoped that Gu Xiu would die rather than continue to grow stronger.
This is a threat.
A huge threat!
only……
"Do you really think that only this young man can kill you?" Immortal Venerable Wangyue shook his head and smiled, a hint of mockery in his voice.
"Everything in this world has a price tag from the very beginning. Your so-called immortality is nothing more than an unequal transaction. When you have no more value to us, this path to immortality will come to an end."
"Are you really so naive as to think you can live forever?"
"Think carefully about who truly controls your life and death."
As soon as these words came out.
The expressions on the faces of all the Supreme Immortal Puppets instantly turned extremely grim. Some remained silent, while others wanted to refute, but without exception, all their rebuttals and thoughts ultimately turned into a sigh.
Gu Xiu wasn't the only one in this world who could kill them.
There's also the Three Immortal Islands.
They understood this principle better than anyone else, but even if they died under Gu Xiu's sword in this endless immortality, they dared not think of destroying the Three Immortal Islands.
They dare not.
They paid a heavy price for this abnormal immortality, not only for the daily torment and the humiliation of being ordered around and treated as tools, but also for the heart that once dared to resist everything and fight to the end.
Now that Wang Yue had pointed it out, the group of Supreme Immortal Puppets looked at each other, and finally shut their mouths and fell silent.
"It seems this fight is over."
"Let's step aside. The battle that follows is probably beyond our control."
Seeing that the group of Supreme Immortal Puppets had stopped moving, Lü Dongshan and Ye Wentian prepared to make way. They had already seen that the old Sword Saint, who had been sitting cross-legged the whole time, was now slowly standing up. He did not speak, but his actions proved that he accepted the challenge of Wangyue Immortal Venerable.
Gu Xiu also sheathed his Immortal-Crossing Sword, wanting to see the upcoming epic battle.
only……
Just as Gu Xiu and the other two turned to leave, a sense of crisis suddenly arose. Gu Xiu immediately took a step and dodged to the side, only to see that it was a phantom that looked like a venomous snake, with a mouth full of sharp teeth coming towards him.
The venomous snake was incredibly fast. Even though Gu Xiu was fast enough, he still couldn't dodge it. In the critical moment, Gu Xiu had no choice but to use the Sighing Sword again. The moment the venomous snake slowed down, the Immortal Crossing Sword in his hand appeared instantly.
"Keng~!"
With a metallic clang, the venomous snake was cleaved in two from head to tail and fell to the ground.
Before Gu Xiu could relax, the venomous snake that had fallen to the ground suddenly exploded on the spot, turning into a pool of green venom.
"Ouch!"
A cry of alarm came from Lü Dongshan. Gu Xiu looked over and saw a drop of venom on Lü Dongshan's body. But before anyone could see it clearly, it vanished without a trace, as if everything had been an illusion.
But the next moment.
The spiritual energy around Lü Dongshan suddenly became disordered, and then his skin seemed to be dyed by something, gradually turning into emerald green and spreading outwards.
All this happened in a flash.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, most of Lü Dongshan's body had turned green.
"Damn it, how come I didn't get infected?"
A regretful voice came from behind. Gu Xiu turned around abruptly and saw the Supreme Immortal Puppet, whose arms had been severed, staring at him with a regretful expression. Seeing this, Gu Xiu's face immediately turned cold.
"You...are...asking for...death...!"
"You killed so many of us, so what if I attack you?" The Supreme Immortal Puppet was not afraid at all, and sneered, "This person is your friend, right? It seems you two have a good relationship. In that case, it's just right to let him be buried with those who died earlier."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu disregarded everything else and immediately mobilized his cultivation to help Lü Dongshan seal several major acupoints around his body. Ye Wentian, who was standing nearby, also hurriedly took out several bottles of pills and fed them to Lü Dongshan. However, the two of them soon discovered that their pills were completely useless.
Lu Dongshan's body continued to turn green rapidly, and his aura grew weaker and weaker, as if he would die in the blink of an eye.
"let me!"
At the critical moment, the old sword saint stepped forward. His cultivation surged, and he pointed his fingers around Lü Dongshan. Streams of pure power flowed into Lü Dongshan's body. The sword saint's intervention was indeed effective, and the deterioration of Lü Dongshan's injuries began to slow down.
Even so, the old swordsman's expression grew increasingly grim:
"What you used... was the poison of the Azure Vine!"
"It seems you do have some insight. Not bad. This is my greatest opportunity. I originally planned to use it on this kid to completely eliminate future troubles, but unfortunately, I failed." The other party was leisurely, his face still full of regret.
Gu Xiu had probably heard of the Azure Vine, and barely suppressed his anger: "Give me the antidote."
"Antidote?"
The other party laughed: "Are you kidding me? How could there be an antidote for the third most deadly poison on the list of the most deadly poisons in the world? Even if I did have one, do you think I would give it to you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu's heart sank, and he looked towards the Sword Saint.
But the old sword saint's expression was solemn:
"The Azure Vine is the most potent poison in the world, extremely rare, and can kill instantly upon contact with blood. Anyone poisoned by it will have their cultivation, physical body, and even soul invaded by the toxin, eventually turning into a complete Azure Vine."
"And those who are poisoned by this..."
"No solution."
