Du Fei was indeed a very cautious person. Being in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm, he could just head over and kill the two. However, he chose not to. All warriors had great hidden potential within them. This was even more so when a warrior was unleashing a final attack without care for his own life. At times like that, a warrior would be able to erupt with a strength far surpassing his level.

Therefore, Du Fei was waiting for the poison in Ye Mo to take effect. When that happened, success would be guaranteed. However, Yun Chuchu was completely clueless. She helped Ye Mo to a tree and let him use her thighs as his pillow. Anxiousness covered her face as tears rained down without stop.

Ye Mo could sense Yun Chuchu’s sorrow and was touched by her display of emotion. That was a genuine sorrow, the sorrow for the coming passion of a loved one. Ye Mo was only pretending to be injured. But Yun Chuchu was like a blank piece of paper, untouched and all innocence. She only knew how to cultivate. Therefore, how could she know that Ye Mo was pretending? And because she was unaware, Ye Mo’s act became even more believable.

When the people from Sword Whisper Manor saw this, they became anxious as well. They had heard of how powerful the Yin Poison of the Yin Poison Society was. When poisoned, one wouldn’t be able to survive unless one was a powerful cultivator.

“Ye Mo, how are you? What do I need to do to save you?” Yun Chuchu weeped.

“The Yin Poison is highly toxic. Without the antidote from Yin Poison Society, this poison can never be healed,” Ye Mo said while lying on Yun Chuchu’s thigh, gazing straight into her damp eyes.

“Antidote? Let me see if the two black-clothed men have an antidote on them.”

Yun Chuchu was about to stand up when she was pulled down by Ye Mo. In great pain, Ye Mo said, “Chuchu, the people of Yin Poison Society only know how to kill. How is it possible for them to save someone? These lackeys won’t have any antidotes on them.”

“What should we do then? They said that you will die in six hours. What should I do if you die?” Yun Chuchu started wailing.

“Don’t you still have your grandpa?” Ye Mo asked.

“The only thing grandpa does is make me cultivate. My time with you have been the happiest I have ever been.”

“Your grandpa did that to make you strong. In Tianwu Kingdom, the human heart is unfathomable. Without a great enough strength, you will die without even knowing why,” Ye Mo said.

Yun Chuchu nodded blankly, listening but not understanding. With her head lowered, she fixed her gaze at Ye Mo and cried without stop. Ye Mo’s hair was getting wet from all her tears. Just like that, six hours passed. Ye Mo pretended to faint from the poison eruption.

When Yun Chuchu saw that, her eyes went wide as she felt she had just lost the person closest to her. She started wailing while shaking ye Mo’s body. The people from Sword Whisper Manor also surrounded them and started to console Yun Chuchu.

“Finally dead!”

Du Fei’s eyes lit up. He transformed into a gale and as the branches around him swayed, he hopped out from amidst the branches and appeared in front Yun Chuchu and the others.

“Haha. I have been waiting for six hours. Finally, he’s dead.” Du Fei raised his head and howled with laughter before continuing, “Yin Poison is the greatest poison of our Yin Poison Society. Even a True Energy Realm expert won’t be able to save him now. For daring to kill two experts of our Yin Poison Society, this is an ending he deserves.”

Yun Chuchu immediately reacted as she leapt out of the group. Holding the Devil Firecloud Sword, she demanded, “Who are you?”

“I am Du Fei, the young society head of Yin Poison Society, in charge of intercepting the shipment Sword Whisper Manor was transporting. Since you Qingyun League members dare to spoil our plan, you deserve nothing but death,” Du Fei said.

“I heard from grandpa that Yin Poison Society is an evil society that refines warriors into poison slaves to turn them into your killing puppets. I won’t let any of you off,” Yun Chuchu declared while tightly gripping her sword.

“Haha. Kill me? Toxic Shield! With this, I fear nothing!”

Du Fei stamped his feet on the ground. The poison energy around him rose up to form a thick layer of shell around him. The poison shell covered every inch of his skin and looked nearly impenetrable.

“Energy Shaping Seventh Realm?” Yun Chuchu was greatly alarmed, nearly letting go of her grip on her sword in shock. The enemy was at the Seventh Realm. How was she supposed to fight him?

“Why? You aren’t be afraid, right?” Du Fei smiled faintly. The trademark of an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior was the ability to create a protective barrier with their origin energy, creating an impenetrable shield on their skin.

The old man from Sword Whisper Manor shouted, “Young lady, you should run. Every member of the Yin Poison Society is an unfeeling murdering fiend!”

“That’s right. We are normal people and our death won’t mean anything. You are a genius of Qingyun League. You can’t die here.”

“No, I won’t run. The teachings of Qingyun League do not allow me to do something like abandoning all of you and escaping alone.”

She shook her head and looked at Du Fei with a solemn expression. “Although I know I’m not a match for you, Ye Mo once told me that only by fighting without care for life will there be hope!”

“Fighting without care for life?” Du Fei sneered, “As a Qingyun League member, you should know the difference between the Sixth and Seventh Realm, right? Fighting without care for life will only result in your death.”

With both her hands, Yun Chuchu held tightly onto her Devil Firecloud Sword. Clouds of fire soared out of her body in great number, engulfing the entire forest in it. With his eyes shut, Ye Mo was sensing the aura around him. Fireclouds were everywhere, nearly blocking all his senses out.

“This is Firecloud Sword Aura!”

Even Ye Mo couldn’t sense where Yun Chuchu’s body was at. Not only was the Firecloud Sword Aura capable of sealing the vision of others, it could also conceal the body of its user. After unleashing the Firecloud Sword Aura, Yun Chuchu fused entirely with the fire clouds. Hiding amidst the fire, she looked for an opportunity to strike Du Fei. Slowly, she approached Du Fei and finally reached behind him.

With her body concealed within the Firecloud Sword Aura, she was not worried about Du Fei discovering her. That would only be possible if his opponent had reached the True Energy Realm. Abruptly, Yun Chuchu’s sword moved and went through countless variations. Fire and black clouds appeared on her sword. The fire clouds represented a fiery power while the black clouds represented a sinister power.

It was as if Yun Chuchu’s swordsmanship had suddenly reached its apex. Both the fire and black clouds interweaved together to form a red and black pagoda. The pagoda existed in a cloudy form, yet it was still extremely heavy. Then, the pagoda slammed down on Du Fei.

“Devil Firecloud Pagoda!”

Bang!

The moment this pagoda appeared, an intense energy shockwave appeared. Du Fei immediately sensed it. Looking at the pagoda coming from the air, he sneered. Then, a huge copper sledgehammer appeared in his hand. The surface of the sledgehammer was colored in dark green, as if it was refined out of extremely toxic poison.

Bang!

He slammed the hammer on the pagoda, creating a loud ringing sound in the air that rumbled like the sound of thunder, the sound wave of the impact felling numerous trees around them.

The impact from the clash jolted the hammer out of Du Fei’s hand. However, the pagoda continued downward and pressed down on Du Fei. Joy appeared on Yun Chuchu’s face. Just as she was about to get everyone to flee, a loud bang sounded. Her pagoda exploded and transformed into numerous clumps of black and fire clouds. A silhouette leisurely walked out from amidst the clouds, cracks visible on the toxic shell around his body.

“Worthy of being a Qingyun League member. If we are at the same cultivation realm, that would have been my defeat.”

Then, Du Fei charged at Yun Chuchu. He moved so fast Yun Chuchu couldn’t even react in time. He landed a punch at Yun Chuchu’s belly, causing her to shout in pain before collapsing onto the ground.

“I told you. Fighting without care for life would only result in death. You are too lacking to fighting someone above your realm.”

“Chuchu tried her best…” Lying on the ground while grabbing on her belly, she gazed at Ye Mo who was resting on a tree stump. Once again, tears trailed down her cheeks, her cheeks still showing a stubborn expression.
