Chapter 427: Not Very Poisonous

Dongjing City, Mulberry Kingdom.

Granny Shenshan and the others were still continuously refining Ye Lin.

The speed at which Ye Lin's immortal body was repairing itself had reached an extremely sluggish pace.

Just at this moment, a dark green mist, like a venomous snake in a dark corner, spread out silently.

By the time the Mulberry Kingdom's Third Realm experts noticed, the dark green mist had already spread across four or five streets.

"Who goes there?"

A Star Realm expert from the Mulberry Kingdom charged out in the lead; with a wave of his hand, raging flames erupted, intending to burn the poisonous mist away directly.

Yet, the moment the raging flames encountered the dark green mist, they withered away instantly.

The Mulberry Kingdom's Star Realm expert was greatly alarmed and turned to dodge the dark green mist.

But the dark green mist seemed to have a life of its own, instantly engulfing him!

"Ah!"

The Star Realm expert let out a shrill scream as his entire body began to rot, eventually dissolving into a pool of pus and blood on the ground; the others were too late to save him.

Granny Shenshan frowned deeply.

"The Great Xia reinforcements have arrived. Keisuke, block them! Do not let anyone near this place! We are about to succeed!"

"Understood!"

Keisuke was the very same white-bearded old man who had previously led the attack on Great Xia.

He turned around, his hair and beard fluttering without wind, and the aura unique to the Blazing Sun Realm spread out.

"I want to see what kind of rats are hiding their heads and showing their tails, afraid to come out!"

Keisuke condensed a giant hand that looked as if it were cast from gold and swiped directly toward the dark green mist.

The dark green mist corroded the hand incessantly, but it could not keep up with the speed of Keisuke's recovery.

"Found you!"

Keisuke's giant hand struck with force, instantly reducing a six-story building to ruins.

A graceful figure rushed out from the ruins with a cold expression; it was Duan Ling, who had returned after notifying Zhou Zhou Qingfeng.

"Having just stepped into the Bright Moon Realm, with your aura still unstable, you dare to come to my Great Mulberry Empire and act wantonly? Since you are tired of living, I will send you on your way!"

Keisuke snorted coldly and flipped his palm, revealing an ancient emerald-green curved jade in his hand—it was one of the three great divine artifacts of the Mulberry Kingdom, the Yasaka Magatama!

To be precise, there were only two divine artifacts left now, as the bronze mirror had already been shattered by Ye Lin.

As Keisuke poured his power into it, the Yasaka Magatama erupted with brilliant light, rotating slowly in the air and locking directly onto Duan Ling.

Duan Ling's expression changed slightly; she had a feeling that no matter how she dodged, she would not be able to escape Keisuke's next strike!

A much denser dark green mist suddenly erupted from her body, hiding her figure within the terrifying poisonous fog.

"Don't waste your energy. No one locked on by the Yasaka Magatama can escape! Die!"

Keisuke raised his hand and pointed a finger; terrifying power surged out like a vast ocean, causing the surrounding space to distort.

Under this finger, Duan Ling was certain to die.

But there was not a hint of fear in Duan Ling's beautiful eyes; she was someone who had already died once before.

Terrifying toxins surged within her body; as long as Keisuke killed her, the toxins inside her would spread in all directions like a wild horse without a bridle, forcing even Blazing Sun Realm experts to retreat.

In other words, Duan Ling's body was equivalent to a Demon-Locking Tower; once she died, the demons and monsters within the tower would lose their restraints and ravage everything around them.

At that time, the great array suppressing Ye Lin would collapse on its own, unless the people of the Mulberry Kingdom wanted to perish together with them.

This was the reason Duan Ling had appeared here today; in other words, she had come with the intention of seeking death!

But just then, another graceful figure appeared and pointed a finger as well!

The power of this finger was in no way inferior to Keisuke's; the two giant fingers formed from energy collided heavily, causing the entire Dongjing City to tremble violently.

"A Blazing Sun Realm expert from Great Xia has arrived?"

Keisuke's expression changed abruptly, and a trace of panic even appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"No! You are not in the Blazing Sun Realm!"

Keisuke finally saw the newcomer clearly; it was Student Zhuge Yi, who had escaped their encirclement after being sealed by Ou Ou Liechen.

That pair of star-like double pupils emitted a breathtaking light, seeing through Keisuke's movements with perfect clarity.

Duan Ling was somewhat surprised; she had not expected that besides herself, another woman would run over to save Ye Lin, and the key was that she did not know this woman at all.

To be able to risk her life and come alone to rescue Ye Lin—she certainly did not believe this woman had nothing to do with him.

Duan Ling lowered her eyes to look at Student Zhuge Yi's curves, which were even more breathtaking than her double pupils, then looked down at herself, nearly biting through her back molars.

Although she was not exactly flat-chested, compared to Student Zhuge Yi, it was like a small witch meeting a great one.

"Good for you, Ye Lin!"

Duan Ling ground her silver teeth and cast a sinister glance at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin, who had been suppressed under the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron by the Mulberry Kingdom's experts and tortured for ten days and ten nights, had not been afraid at all.

But at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, couldn't stop shivering, and felt his scalp go numb.

"Strange, what is this sudden chill? Could it be that the Mulberry Kingdom has some major killing move they haven't used yet?"

Ye Lin was somewhat puzzled; that shouldn't be right, at this point, if the Mulberry Kingdom had a killing move, they should have used it long ago. It was truly strange.

"You must be Duan Ling, right?"

Student Zhuge Yi took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Duan Ling.

"Ye Lin often praises you in front of me, saying you are cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and that you are a very good girl. Having heard him mention you so many times, I finally get to see you in person. You are so beautiful."

"Ah? Really? Does he often praise me?... No, no... You are very beautiful too..."

Duan Ling was caught off guard by Student Zhuge Yi's compliments; she couldn't help but feel ashamed of her previous thoughts, and the trace of hostility she had felt toward Student Zhuge Yi vanished into thin air.

"Don't worry, Ye Lin and I are just in a cooperative relationship; nothing has ever happened between us."

A smile appeared on Student Zhuge Yi's face.

"We have a common goal now, which is to rescue Ye Lin, so cooperation is the best choice for the moment. I will hold off the Blazing Sun Realm expert; you spread the poisonous mist toward Ye Lin's side, how about that?"

"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Duan Ling nodded obediently and reminded her with good intentions, "When we start fighting later, stay far away from me. Please don't touch me; I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you."

Although Duan Ling could contain her toxins during normal times after obtaining the divine artifact Netherworld Yellow Springs, she naturally would not deliberately restrain the toxins on her body during a battle.

"Are you poisonous?" Student Zhuge Yi asked.

"Slightly poisonous, but really not much. I'm not poisonous from head to toe, just about 40% toxic."
