Keyboard Immortal Chapter 2386: Condition

Chapter 2386: Condition

Zu An swept out his sleeves, and a force sent all the women into the distance.

With Ji Xiaoxi at the very center, ripples of black energy spread in all directions. All the flowers and other greenery caught up in the energy immediately withered away. There were some snakes, bugs, and other creatures that frantically tried to escape, but they all lost their lives before they could get very far.

Everyone present was horrified when they saw that.

The True Demon elders blinked.

What is going on? Did our random curses actually work?

Since when did we have prophesying skills?

They quickly wished for a few more things, either hoping for Zu An to die, for them to become the strongest in the universe, or for their poison to be completely removed…

Unfortunately, there wasn’t any reaction at all.

“Xiaoxi!” Jiang Luofu was really impatient and wanted to head over. Ji Xiaoxi was lying on the ground, with even her survival in question.

Then, he flew toward Ji Xiaoxi. Golden light surrounded him, temporarily shielding him from the black poison. Even so, when he got closer to Ji Xiaoxi, the golden light around him started to sizzle, as if the black energy was eating away at it. He sighed in amazement. This poison was stronger than any he had seen before. It could actually corrode all living things as if it was a tangible substance.

He quickly picked up Ji Xiaoxi. When he sensed her breath and heartbeat, he sighed in relief. He quickly imbued ki into her body to help her control the poison that was running rampant within her. But his expression immediately changed. The poison inside of her was just too powerful! It actually began to follow his ki to attack his body too. If not for his great strength and the Primordial Origin Sutra excelling at dealing with poisons to begin with, he would have been affected too.

But no matter how he used his ki to help Ji Xiaoxi, the poison inside her body seemed to have been angered. It continued to pour out relentlessly. Fine sweat appeared on his forehead. If this continued, Ji Xiaoxi could really become a living body of poison, ultimately headind for destruction.

Just then, Pei Mianman flew over to Salamay’s side and immediately pressed a sword against her neck. “Speak! What is going on right now?!”

“Let go of the first miss at once!” Mojard immediately wanted to help, but Yun Yuqing, Jiang Luofu, and Suolun Shi had already rushed over as well.

Mojard was seriously injured to begin with, and had only managed to stabilize his breathing. How could he defeat these three? He immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood, and a blade was quickly pressed against his neck too.

Salamay laughed sinisterly. “Hahaha, don’t you love lying to me? Now, I've finally fooled you too! Hahaha!”

“It was your fault after all!” Jiang Luofu was panicked and nervous. She almost couldn't hold herself back from stabbing Salamay.

Pei Mianman quickly stopped her. “Big sis princ.i.p.al, we need to save Xiaoxi first.”

Jiang Luofu immediately snapped out of her daze.

Right, this was all because of that woman. She might know the way to save Ji Xiaoxi.

She immediately interrogated Salamay, looking for the cure. But Salamay only smiled and looked at Zu An. Her expression was very clear; she was waiting for Zu An to save her.

Zu An suddenly thought of something. He took away the ‘Poison Avoidance Pearl’ and placed it into his storage s.p.a.ce. Sure enough, the poison inside Ji Xiaoxi’s body seemed to have lost its target when the pearl disappeared. It stopped going berserk like before. Zu An then used his powerful ki to expel the poison from Xiaoxi's body; the remnants were gathered together and sealed for the time being.

Ji Xiaoxi gradually woke up. Her eyes were teary as she looked at Zu An. “Big brother Zu…”

Zu An held her hand tightly. “Xiaoxi, don’t be scared. I’m here.”

Ji Xiaoxi voiced her agreement. She hadn’t been completely unconscious just then. Even though she couldn't move, she'd still had some awareness.

Big brother Zu fulfilled his promise as expected. He’ll always stay at my side no matter what happens to me.

But in the future, I'll only become more and more poisonous. How can I selfishly force big brother Zu to stay behind and harm him?

When she saw Xiaoxi wake up, Jiang Luofu quickly ran over and cried, “Xiaoxi!”

Zu An knew that most of the poison inside of Xiaoxi’s body had already been controlled. Even though there was still a bit left, with Jiang Luofu’s cultivation, she would be able to withstand it. As such, he left Ji Xiaoxi in her care.

He vanished, then reappeared in front of Salamay. He looked at her coldly. “It seems you knew that using the Poison Avoidance Pearl would actually trigger her Cruel Poison Const.i.tution.”

Previously, Ji Xiaoxi’s innate Cruel Poison Const.i.tution had still been balanced. There had still been some time left before it flared up. But Salamay had given her a special Poison Avoidance Pearl, which was indeed a treasure that could grant immunity to many poisons.

However, the stronger it was, the more powerfully Ji Xiaoxi’s const.i.tution would be reppressed. Just how powerful was the Cruel Poison Const.i.tution? It couldn't stand that kind of provocation at all. That was why it had activated ahead of time, almost as if to prove something to the arrogant and aggressive pearl.

The Poison Avoidance Pearl had been gradually beaten down, becoming unable to restrain the ferocious poison anymore. With that, Ji Xiaoxi had ended up in a difficult position. She couldn't control such a powerful const.i.tution at all. If not for Zu An using the power of the entire world to help her subdue it, she would have long since perished.

Salamay replied with a grin, “That’s right!”

Slap!

There was a loud and clear strike. Yun Yuqing cursed, “You wench! Big brother Zu already spared your lives, and yet you're still so malicious.”

Salamay gave her a resentful look and said, “I will remember this strike. I will definitely repay it ten times over.”

Yun Yuqing was a bit frightened by her vicious look.

Just then, however, two more strikes echoed. It turned out Pei Mianman couldn't hold herself back either. “I’m joining in too. Why don’t you hit me back if you have the skill?”

“You…!” Salamay hadn’t expected Pei Mianman to strike her too. When she saw the latter’s ice-cold expression, she actually couldn't bring herself to say anything back.

Yun Yuqing’s expression softened a bit as she looked at Pei Mianman. It seemed that the jealousy they shared between sisters was present, but they still worked as one against common enemies.

This feels really good!

Suolun Shi was actually put in a hard spot. Was she supposed to strike Salamay as well? If she didn’t, it would seem as if she wasn’t really standing up for Yun Yuqing. But if she did, it would seem a bit forced…

“Don’t strike the first miss! If you have the ability, come at me instead!” Mojard panicked and stood up frantically.

Suolun Shi’s eyes widened. She'd been worried that she wouldn’t have any chance to do anything. When she saw that, she sent a kick right between his legs to send him kneeling down again. “Stay still!”

A sword had already appeared in Zu An’s hand. As he looked at Salamay, his gaze was ice-cold. “I don’t normally kill women, but it seems I need to make an exception today.”

When she sensed his tangible killing intent, Salamay actually panicked a bit. She said, “Even though you’ve managed to temporarily restrict the poison inside Ji Xiaoxi’s body, that’s not a permanent solution. Will you be able to stop it if the Cruel Poison Const.i.tution activates again?”

Zu An frowned slightly. What she said was true. He could sense that the Cruel Poison Const.i.tution was extremely powerful. It was only because it had just awakened and wasn’t strong enough that he'd been able to keep it under control. After some time pa.s.sed and the const.i.tution matured, he likely wouldn't be able to stop it.

Salamay didn’t keep him in suspense and quickly said, “Bring me into that sealed world and I’ll tell you the solution to stop the Cruel Poison Const.i.tution!”
