Chapter 555

"Since the words have already been spoken, I leave this matter of detoxification to you."

"I must go with Wang Wang Yuping to the entrance of that valley to carefully inspect the situation there."

"After all, knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles, so Zhao Luxian must be temporarily entrusted to you."

"I hope you will not betray my trust in you; whether you can suppress this Resentful Dragon Poison depends entirely on your skill."

"You usually boast to me with great exaggeration; today I shall see for myself if your strength is truly as powerful as you claim."

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm was so enraged he nearly vomited blood, for he never expected a man to dare question his strength so brazenly.

And Lin Bai gave him no opportunity whatsoever.

After briefly exchanging a few words, he took Wang Wang Yuping and hurried toward the valley's location.

Meanwhile, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm and Zhao Luxian remained in place, which made him extremely displeased.

The Thousand-Year Snake Charm looked at Zhao Luxian and then ordered him, "Go sit over there; no matter what pain you encounter next, you must grit your teeth and endure it."

"To expel this Resentful Dragon Poison requires a vast amount of spiritual power; we must use poison to fight poison."

"I must suppress the poison within your body using the power within mine."

"If it were not for my own ancient bloodline, even if a god came, he could not save you."

"Now that this Venerable One has decided to save you, I hope you understand the stakes involved."

"The entire process will take half a shichen; during this half shichen, you will suffer agony as if being skinned and having your tendons pulled."

"I hope you can grit your teeth and endure; do not give up halfway. As long as you can endure, I will be able to suppress that poison for you."

"However, this suppression will last at most three months; after three months, I will re-establish the seal."

"Then, using the power of the seal, I will force the Resentful Dragon Poison within your body down into your dantian."

"When the time is right, if we can find the Dragon Whisker Fruit, I can use its power to draw the Resentful Dragon Poison out of your body."

"This thing is both a disadvantage and an advantage, so I hope you can calm your mind and not indulge in wild thoughts."

"By the way, once I have suppressed the poison in your body, do not forget your promise to us."

"You must take us to find the treasure; otherwise, I will make your life worse than death."

The Thousand-Year Snake Charm glared once more at Zhao Luxian before him; when Zhao Luxian saw the Thousand-Year Snake Charm's gaze,

he naturally shivered in fright. He now fully understood the meaning of the phrase 'serpent and scorpion beauty.'

Moreover, he knew that the seemingly exquisite woman before him was no ordinary person.

Furthermore, the power he could now unleash had left him utterly shocked.

Thus, at this moment, he could only helplessly say, "Miss, as long as you can help me suppress the Resentful Dragon Poison within my body,"

"I will serve you as my master; from now on, I will obey your commands."

Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm nodded; indeed, he was a very domineering person, and also a very powerful one.

Since Lin Bai and the others now owed him such a debt of gratitude, he naturally could not disgrace or betray the trust Lin Bai had placed in him.

So, thinking thus, Zhao Luxian sat there exactly as the Thousand-Year Snake Charm had previously instructed him.

And following all of the Thousand-Year Snake Charm's instructions, he began to suppress the power within his own body.

He also revealed the location where the Resentful Dragon Poison manifested, while the Thousand-Year Snake Charm remained extremely cautious.

For he knew this poison was no ordinary toxin in this world; one slip could easily bring a calamity of death upon himself.

To ensure safety, he could not let this matter continue to worsen; he must find a way to nip all risks in the bud.

He must do his utmost to resolve these hidden dangers; otherwise, if he were to encounter (Li Hao's) risk,

it would leave him extremely passive. So, thinking thus, he had already formed some method of assessment within his heart.

The Thousand-Year Snake Charm merely raised his palm slightly, and a seven-colored light appeared within his hand.

And within that light, a mass of deadly danger was constantly spreading.

Soon, a beam of light struck into Zhao Luxian's body, and Zhao Luxian's body began to tremble involuntarily at that moment.

This showed just how intense the pain was for him; the cold sweat on his forehead gradually turned into snowdrops and dripped onto the ground.

That feeling was unbearable, and the poisonous gas emanating from within his body dissolved the stone he sat upon into stone water.

Powerful poison was constantly spreading around his entire body.
