Chapter 140 - Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium

It had been half a month since Xia Xuan repelled the Four Major Sects. During this half a month, the Stellar Martial Gate had been on high alert, but the expected Five Poisons Sect army had not arrived. Other than a few disciples of the Five Poisons Sect who occasionally secretly observed from the shadows, the entire Five Poisons Sect seemed to have suddenly abandoned its assault and stopped its movements.

On this day, as Xia Xuan was walking in a garden with a stomach, he did not know how Xia Muning did it, but Stellar Martial Gate spent a lot of money on both design and construction materials.

Looking at the scenery in the garden, Xia Xuan noticed that there was a Old Man standing next to the pond in the garden. Old Man's hair was not white, but a kind of purplish black, as though hundreds of different kinds of poison were mixed together.

Xia Xuan did not feel a single fluctuation of spiritual energy from the Old Man's body. Logically speaking, an ordinary person should not appear in the Stellar Martial Gate, nor should such a person appear in the Hundred Desolations.

Xia Xuan was curious in his heart, so he walked to Old Man's side. He noticed that Old Man was staring at the pond, and following Old Man's gaze, he only saw two fish playing inside the pond, and the water in the pond was rippling, causing people to feel relaxed and happy.

"Swimming fish and swimming water, old mister is so elegant." Xia Xuan looked at the fish, and could not help but laugh.

Just as Xia Xuan finished speaking, a water snake suddenly appeared and quickly wrapped itself around one of the fish s. Just as the other fish was hovering around to save its companion, another water snake appeared and wrapped itself around that little fish.

"Two weak fish s can survive together, but I didn't know that they are weak like chicken ribs in front of a strong poisonous snake." When Old Man saw the water snake devouring the small fish, there was not a single ripple in his eyes. His voice also contained no emotion as he spoke.

Xia Xuan's eyes looked at the Old Man, and he vaguely knew who the Old Man was. At the same time, he also guessed the purpose of the Old Man coming here.

"In this half a month, I finally know how you used your Profound King of the Fourth Rank's strength to defeat the inflammation in your body." Old Man said again.

Xia Xuan laughed, and a trace of vigilance appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Old Man, and laughed: "With just one person, he annihilated an empire, and then established the Five Poisons Sect in the Hundred Wastelands, his strength is at the peak of the third stage Xuanzun, his methods are ruthless, everyone fears him, and he is known as the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium."

"A mere fallen Deicide, no matter how strong his combat experience is, it would never be able to make up for the difference in level, right? My respected Lord God of Death. " Old Man's gaze towards Xia Xuan was already filled with sinister intent. Purple Black Spiritual Qi surged around her body, and the plants within ten meters around him withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, they were no longer living beings.

Xia Xuan was already biting his tongue tightly by now. He did not expect the Five Poisons Sect Sect Leader to be so bold as to actually come to Stellar Martial Gate alone, and from the looks of it, its imposing manner was prepared to deal with him.

"Aren't you the fish in the pond right now? No matter how you struggle, you are only a plaything in my hand." After saying that, the Old Man waved his withered hand, and a purple Black Spiritual Qi immediately rushed towards Xia Xuan.

Seemingly at the same time Old Man waved his hand, a silver snake was already running around Xia Xuan's body. Without waiting for Zi Black Spiritual Qi to hit him, it created several afterimages and appeared a kilometer up in the sky in a blink of an eye.

The flamethrower appeared in his hands. Xia Xuan waved his hand fiercely towards Hundred Poisons, and a sharp spiritual energy blade immediately rushed towards Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

With regards to Xia Xuan's attack, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium's eyes were filled with disdain. With a flash of his body, the spiritual energy's sharp blade hacked onto the ground, and Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium appeared a kilometer above Xia Xuan.

"In half a month, I finally got your information." The Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium looked at Xia Xuan like he was looking at an ant. In his eyes, a mere reincarnated Deicide would not be his match no matter how experienced he was in battle.

Back then, Xia Xuan could only rely on the divine instrument to fight against the Mysterious Sect Rankers in the Myriad Spirit Realm. But now that he had no divine instrument and was able to use the soul, he could only rely on his stable fighting experience to defeat at most one expert who was at the peak of the Second class Xuan Zun. If it was the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium instead, he would not be able to win.

Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium started to revolve both his hands, and countless purple Black Spiritual Qi started to surge out, like a black cloud that covered the sky and the sun.

Following the appearance of the black cloud, many experts from Stellar Martial Gate walked out from their houses. This extremely strong and revolting odor and power, this entire Poison City would only be owned by that Old Man, the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

Yan Shuang, Xia Muning and Miao Linger appeared on top of the Wall, looking at the two people fighting in the sky, and feeling extremely worried.

"I'll go help him." Xia Muning said quickly before he activated his spiritual energy and flew up into the sky.

Before Xia Muning could even fly very far, five figures appeared on the path Xia Muning was on, four of them were the Four Great Sect Masters, and another was a man dressed in a black robe. The man's aura was stronger than even the Four Great Sect Leader s, and had actually reached the level of a first stage Xuanzun.

"The five great sect masters are all here, they really think highly of me." Xia Muning stared at the five people in front of him, and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the longsword.

The Five Poisons Sect was divided into a main sect and four major factions. Xie Xing Ying, Wu Xing Hu, Tian Shi and Fa Ji were the Sect Leader s of the four major factions. This Black Man was the Sect Leader, the centurion of the main sect's Five Poisons Sect.

"I don't know how much your injuries have recovered." The hundred foot general looked at Xia Muning with a drooling look, and spoke with a weird tone.

"It's enough to deal with you." Xia Muning said while clenching her teeth. After that, she held the longsword and directly rushed towards the hundred foot general. Her aura was no longer intermittent and she revealed the aura of her Second class Xuan Zun, startling the hundred foot general.

Although Yan Shuang would not help Xia Xuan, she would still help him heal his injuries.

The five great sect masters were shocked by Xia Muning's sudden burst of strength. The current Xia Muning should still be in a injured state, and such a serious injury could not be treated with any sort of medicine. The five of them were flustered and anxious. In a moment of desperation, five Five Poisons Sect appeared before they blocked Xia Muning's attack.

A thousand meters in the air, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium and Xia Xuan were watching the battle between Xia Muning and Xia Xuan, feeling extremely shocked at Xia Muning's sudden recovery. Other people might not know how serious Xia Muning's injuries were, but the person who had personally injured Xia Muning knew that Xia Muning's internal organs had all been beaten into a dislocated position.

"Lord God of Death sure is good. He can even treat such a heavy injury." Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium turned to look at Xia Xuan. He naturally did not know of Yan Shuang's existence and only thought that Xia Xuan had used some sort of method to heal Xia Muning's injuries.

"No matter how many tricks I have up my sleeve, I can't compare to you, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium. For the sake of a junior like me, you actually snuck into the Stellar Martial Gate. You truly flatter me." Xia Xuan laughed, but that did not mean he underestimated the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium. On the contrary, Xia Xuan looked at Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium with a dark gaze.

"Foolish brat, today, this old man will show you what it means to be bullied by dogs when a tiger falls to the ground." Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium snorted coldly.

The black clouds formed by the spiritual energy covered the entire sky above Poison City. The black mass of the spiritual energy pressing down on the sky gave off a stifling feeling, and the eyes of the entire city's people that were looking at Dark Cloud were filled with fear. The Xuanzun expert was actually this terrifying.
