Chapter 1531: The True Might of the Poison Masters
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
The offensive prowess of the simultaneous assault from fifteen 9-star master teachers was simply too frightening. Putting aside the three poison masters, even if Yang shi was around, he would also have succumbed swiftly!
"Heed your commands?" Shen Jue and the others were surprised to hear such words from Zhang Xuan.
Even they were helpless against so many 9-star master teachers, so what could a mere Saint 8-dan cultivator possibly do?
"That's right!" Zhang Xuan replied as he met the gazes of the three of them one by one.
"This..." Seeing that the young man was not joking around, the three poison masters traded gazes as deep frowns appeared on their foreheads.
The opponents that they were facing were 9-star master teachers. Every single one of them was unimaginably powerful! If they followed the young man's commands on this matter, they could very well be wiped out!
Lin Jianghai sent a telepathic message to Shen Jue and He Guangyu. "Guys, let's just listen to him. Our hall master instructed us to hold him in higher regard than her!"
Shen Jue and He Guangyu hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
From their interactions with the hall master, they also knew how highly the hall master viewed her teacher. If something happened to him today, she would surely have them killed in a moment of fury.
The current situation was already bad enough as it was. Since they did not have any better ideas in mind, it could be worth gambling on the young man; he might just hold the key to leading them out of this crisis.
Forcefully holding the barrier up to fend off the barrage of attacks, Lin Jianghai quickly asked Zhang Xuan, "Zhang shi, what do you want us to do?"
Zhang Xuan's voice echoed by the ears of the crowd. "Dissipate the energy barrier. Shen Jue, drive your Golden Yang Poison Art, take twenty steps forward, and flick your left hand. I know that there's the venomous essence of Dustbreaking Twilight in your fingernails, so flick them out.
"Lin Jianghai, take twenty-seven steps to your right and prepare to release your Crimson Consonance. There's no need to aim it any specific person—just scatter it lightly into the surroundings and you'll see its worth.
"He Guangyu, nicknamed the Thousand Hands Poison, I know that you bring a huge variety of lethal poison on you, or more specifically, fifty-four poisons. Remain where you are and scatter eight of them toward the sky. After which, shoot seventeen of them right ahead of you. Then, remain on standby and await my next orders. You can decide then whether it's worthwhile to continue following my orders or not!"
"Y-you... know of my Dustbreaking Twilight?" Shen Jue's body clearly stiffened upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words.
He was certain that this was the first time that he had met Zhang shi, but even if that was not the case, the Dustbreaking Twilight was a lethal poison that he had concocted not too long ago, not to mention that he had just decided on a name for it on his way there... Not even the hall master would be aware of it, yet the young man was able to name it and point out that it was hidden in his left fingernail.
Shen Jue was not the only one who was shocked. With a look of disbelief on his face, He Guangyu exclaimed in shock, "You know that I have fifty-four different poisons on me?"
As those poisons were his trump card, not even the closest people to him knew the number of poisons that he carried with him. On top of that, he reserved two of them for only the direst of situations, vowing to keep them hidden unless the situation truly called for them. Despite that, the young man had still been able to accurately point out how many poisons he had with him.
