However, Shun Long merely shook his head after hearing Little Black’s suggestion, before he turned his cold gaze towards the yellow-robed young man who was casually approaching him and said seriously

”No need! I will deal with this by myself. No matter what happens, don’t come out!”

After a moment of silence, Little Black nodded his head in a solemn manner and didn’t say anything else, as he allowed Shun Long to focus on his fight with the yellow-robed young man.

Although he had said that the gap between the 2 of them was too big, Little Black understood Shun Long’s strength better than anyone else.

He knew that if the current Shun Long truly decided to go all-out, then, even if he was faced with an average peak rank 9 Dao King, there was still a chance to seriously injure that person.

However, Little Black also knew that Shun Long’s current objective wasn’t simply to ‘injure’ the yellow-robed young man but to kill him. In Little Black’s mind, perhaps there was a small chance of success if this yellow-robed young man didn’t have a star-rank weapon, but it was plain as day that this wasn’t the case here, as the black sword in his hands was clearly a 1-star weapon.

But of course, Little Black was the only one who thought that Shun Long even had a chance to survive against this yellow-robed young man, as the surrounding Dao Kings who were watching this scene either mocked Shun Long in their hearts for overestimating himself or they shook their heads in pity.

After all, for a peak rank 3 Dao King to have managed to pass the first stage of the ‘Illusion oasis’, this was something that had never been done before, so it was only natural that he would attract the attention of some of these stronger Dao Kings.

However, these people could now all see that Shun Long was just standing on the same spot, almost as if he was waiting for the yellow-robed young man to take his life without any resistance.

”What’s wrong? Are you scared? Hahahaha! Why don’t you try to beg for your life then? Who knows, perhaps I might even let you live!”

Seeing that Shun Long wasn’t attacking him and was merely standing there without moving a single step, the yellow-robed young man licked his lips and said in a mocking manner while his footsteps continued to approach him unhurriedly, like a hunter who wanted to toy with his prey.

”Unfortunately for you, it’s too late even if you wanted to beg for your life now since I have already decided to kill you. As for those 4 pieces of trash over there, don’t worry, I can assure you that they will join you soon enough. The poison they have been inflicted with isn’t something that can be expelled by a mere rank 6 healing pill!”

Shun Long could see that the smile on the yellow-robed man’s face had turned even more malevolent than before when he mentioned the word ‘poison’, while his sinister yellow eyes stared intently at Shun Long, as if he was waiting to see a look of fear and despair color his face.

However, to the yellow-robed young man’s surprise, the look on Shun Long’s face didn’t change at all after hearing his words, as Shun Long continued to stare at him with the same cold look that was filled with a calm yet clearly overbearing killing intent.

After all, Shun Long had already realized this from the moment he laid his eyes on their bodies and smelled an unnaturally unique scent that Jiang Chen and the others had all been inflicted by an extremely potent poison, and he also knew that they had, at most, one more hour to live before the poison took their lives.

In fact, what the yellow-robed young man didn’t know was that Shun Long had already recognized the type of poison he had used with just a glance, since memories about a certain black-colored grass immediately began to appear in his mind as well. 𝒩𝑶𝑣𝗲𝐿𝔫𝑒xt.𝔠𝑂𝐌

Shun Long knew that this was an extremely rare poison that came from a rank 6 medicinal herb that was called the ‘Soul tormenting grass’.

The ‘Soul tormenting grass’ was known to be an extremely rare rank 6 medicinal herb and its poison was strong enough to kill even late-stage Dao Kings in a matter of hours.

In fact, Shun Long knew that things were just like the yellow-robed young man had said and that the pills he had fed to Xingyi and the others wouldn’t be able to save them despite them being top-grade rank 6 healing pills.

After all, the ‘Soul tormenting grass’ was one of those extremely rare types of poisons that was almost completely unaffected by both healing and anti-toxin pills of the same rank.

One can forget about average rank 6 pills as they wouldn’t have any effect, and the same went even for most high-grade rank 6 pills! Even top-grade rank 6 healing and anti-toxin pills would be unable to expel the ‘Soul tormenting grass’ poison inside a Dao King’s body! The only thing they would be able to do would be to slightly slow down the speed that the poison spread, but it would still be insufficient to save their lives.

And the reason why Shun Long had fed the pills to Liu Mei and the others was precisely so he could slow down the spread of the poison.

Seeing that he wasn’t getting the expected reactions from Shun Long, the yellow-robed young man frowned and seemed to have lost his interest to toy around with his prey, before a murderous aura immediately surrounded his body.

”How boring! Die!”

In the next moment, his figure abruptly turned into a blur as he disappeared from the spot he was standing on, appearing right in front of Shun Long, before he slashed his black sword directly towards Shun Long’s head, aiming to split his head in half in a single strike!

At the same time however, Shun Long merely clenched his right fist and send it flying forward, looking like he was aiming to meet the yellow-robed young man’s sword head-on!
