Why Did You Provoke Him? All His Disciples Have the Potential to Become Emperors!

149: Foreign troops withdraw”Could it be that you missed, and you didn’t actually deliver a fatal blow to the opponent?”

The commander looked suspiciously at the dagger in the other’s hand, which clearly had blood on it, yet that person had appeared full of vigor.

There had never been such a precedent before; any member of the Human Race attacked by him would almost die immediately.

He had ambushed Human Race Powerhouses countless times; even those at the Saint Realm, once successfully attacked, would be invaded by the toxin throughout their bodies and die within a few breaths.

Although nearby higher-level Powerhouses could transfer some Spiritual Qi to help delay the toxin’s invasion, they had absolutely no way to remove it.

This toxin was terrifyingly potent; once a drop touched one, it would immediately spread throughout the entire body. It spread along the flow of Spiritual Qi, so the more the Cultivator struggled to use Spiritual Qi to suppress it, the more severe the backlash from the toxin would be.

That Spiritual Qi could be considered nutrients for the toxin; the more it was exposed to, the faster the toxin spread and the faster it grew!

”I must report this matter back. Even Great Emperor Powerhouses are helpless against this toxin. If they were the ones struck, they might have some methods to expel it, but if other Cultivators are struck by this toxin, they have no way to deal with it!”

The Shadow Clan Powerhouse had clearly realized something. This toxin was a closely guarded secret formula of their Shadow Clan and was quite terrifying. Now that there was a way to counter it, their sharpest blade had suddenly lost its edge.

Once a way to deal with it appeared, it was equivalent to their toxin becoming a joke.

Ultimately, the Shadow Clan’s greatest strength was their escape techniques, and being able to achieve a one-hit kill was solely because of the toxins they smeared on their weapons.

Before they revealed themselves, it was basically very difficult for anyone to notice them, which gave them the opportunity to ambush others.

As long as they could use the dagger in their hand to break the opponent’s skin, they could pour the toxin into the opponent’s body, and thus, the opponent would undoubtedly die!

This was also the reason why they had to retreat quickly if a sneak attack failed; they lacked the ability for sustained combat, and their Physical Body strength was not particularly strong, so only this toxin could be used to attack enemies.

Now that their strongest offensive means had lost its effect, it would likely cause a stir throughout the entire Shadow Clan.

The affairs of the Shadow Clan were of great importance and were basically closely related to other alien races. In every battle, Shadow Clan Powerhouses would be the first to go and assassinate Human Race Powerhouses. Clearly, the alien commander before him also knew the severity of the matter.

They had originally planned to commit more troops to the battlefield this time, but after reporting the situation involving the two of them to their superiors, the superiors immediately ordered a retreat.

Having mobilized such a massive number of troops, only to retreat quickly after fighting for just one day, immediately left the Human Race Powerhouses in the city feeling confused.

Judging by the number of troops the enemy had sent, it was clear that they intended to fight a protracted war this time. A battle of this scale should have lasted at least three days and three nights, but as a result, before the enemy was ready to launch a massive offensive, they had already begun to retreat; no one knew why.

The war council was convened again. Li Haotian arrived in the war conference room, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a refreshing fragrance, followed by a figure hugging him tightly.

”Thank you for saving my life!”

Crimson’s voice carried a hint of trembling. Although she usually maintained the image of a strong woman, she had just truly faced a life-and-death crisis.

In such a desperate situation, even quasi-emperors had no way, and their Chiyuan Sect’s Great Emperor had not even made a move.

Everyone was well aware that once struck by this toxin, unless one had the Cultivation of a Great Emperor, one would basically undoubtedly die.

Never had she expected that Li Haotian would take out a magical Medicinal Pill and actually cure her just like that. Crimson had already prepared herself for death at the time, and now that she had survived in such an extremely rare way, it immediately left Crimson lingering in fear.

”Hahaha! Chief Li is truly impressive; I, Zhang Sanquan, admire you!”

Zhang Sanquan, wearing a black Magic Treasure, walked into the conference room with a hearty smile on his face and patted Li Haotian on the shoulder.

”It was my fault before. I actually looked down on you, thinking you were just a child whose fur hadn’t fully grown yet. I, old Zhang, apologize to you!”

”The way you fought so bravely on the battlefield just now, and actually being able to repel an attack at the quasi-emperor level, really makes me, old Zhang, look at you with new eyes!”

The group of other Powerhouses who followed Zhang Sanquan into the room also looked at Li Haotian with surprised gazes.

”You flatter me, you flatter me; it was just luck.”

”Crimson! Are you okay!”

An exclamation rang out. Wang Lin hurried into the conference room, wanting to grab Crimson’s hand to check her condition, but the latter dodged with some disgust.

This guy was simply no match for Crimson when they were at the same Realm, and later it was only because his father had some background that his Cultivation improved so quickly.

Although this guy was a quasi-emperor, he had no shadow of a Prodigy; he was just an ordinary, weakest quasi-emperor.

This was because his foundation hadn’t been laid well in the past, having consumed a large amount of Medicinal Pills or various Heaven And Earth Treasures to assist his Cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn’t be like this.

Crimson could actually have reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm long ago, but she felt that her foundation was insufficient, so she remained stuck at her current Realm, unwilling to continue to Breakthrough. Many Powerhouses would face such a choice when making a Breakthrough; only those who were single-mindedly pursuing vanity would quickly Breakthrough without solidifying their foundation.

Such behavior would lead to them being unable to Breakthrough to Great Emperor for their entire lives.

Wang Lin noticed the other’s deliberate distancing, and his expression became slightly distorted.

”Enough with that. Is it necessary to put on such an affected act? I don’t believe you haven’t received the news that Sister Hong was saved by Li Haotian.”

Flame Princess rolled her eyes. Her short red hair was extremely capable; she came from the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty and was the eldest daughter of the current Saint of the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty.

She and Crimson had a good relationship on a daily basis; both were Prodigies of the same generation with fiery personalities and extremely strong combat power, and what’s more, they were both women, so they naturally cherished each other all the more.

Once these words were spoken, everyone’s faces revealed expressions of suppressed laughter; if it weren’t for seeing Wang Lin’s foul expression, everyone would have laughed out loud.

Li Haotian glanced at the other person and clearly also sensed a trace of hostility. A look of confusion appeared on his face; he never expected that there would be such useless sacks of rice among the high-level figures of the Cultivation world. Could it be that he intended to go against him just because of a woman?
