Chapter 2570: Falling Over in the Wind!

Stagger, stagger, stagger!

Cheng Chongshan stepped back several times, his face full of bewilderment.

“M-master... senior brother, you’re not joking, are you?” Cheng Chongshan forced a smile.

Zhao Kun, however, shook his head and said, “No joke! I’ve seen records in the sect’s ancient texts. This is the signature poison of Zhong Jianchou, once known as the number one under the Jade Emperor Heaven among the Five Great Heavenly Domains. There is no antidote! It bursts silently. If caught during the incubation period, it can be suppressed with medicine. But once it erupts, anyone below the Jade Emperor Heaven is doomed! From this, it seems the ancient tomb you discovered might be his burial site!”

Having said this, a glint of greed flashed in Zhao Kun’s eyes.

Zhong Jianchou had once shaken the Five Great Heavenly Domains, hailed as the foremost under the Jade Emperor Heaven!

How could such an existence be ordinary?

The legacy he left behind would surely be a supreme treasure!

That fool Cheng Chongshan had actually handed it over to Ye Yuan.

But no matter—since he was here, he could naturally take it back from him!

Cheng Chongshan, panic-stricken, muttered to himself, “Impossible! Impossible! I clearly detected no trace of poison!”

Zhao Kun said, “That’s the power of this poison. During the incubation period, it’s completely undetectable! But once it erupts, even gods find it hard to save you!”

At this point, Zhao Kun couldn’t help but look at Ye Yuan, his heart filled with shock.

The Silent Burst poison was enough to make anyone’s hair stand on end, yet Ye Yuan had managed to completely suppress it at the moment of eruption!

Such methods were simply beyond belief!

After all, this was a poison with no antidote!

At this moment, Cheng Chongshan’s lover, Wu Shuang, grew anxious. She pleaded with Zhao Kun, “Senior Brother Zhao, please, you must save Senior Brother Cheng!”

Zhao Kun smiled and said, “Naturally, I can make a move, but seventy percent of the treasures you obtained on this trip must go to me! And I get to choose them!”

Cheng Chongshan’s expression changed. “Senior Brother Zhao, this... isn’t this too much?”

Zhao Kun said calmly, “Compared to your life, it’s not too much! If you weren’t poisoned, I naturally wouldn’t make such a request. But since you need my help, you have to pay the price.”

We're all out here trying to get by; nobody's a fool.

How could the tomb of the esteemed First Jade Emperor Heaven possibly contain only five celestial pills?

Still, among fellow disciples, some things shouldn't be taken too far.

After all, Cheng Chongshan had informed the sect about this matter.

If Cheng Chongshan were to die under suspicious circumstances, the sect would certainly investigate.

But since Cheng Chongshan had come to him for help, that changed things.

Cheng Chongshan's expression shifted several times before he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! If Senior Brother takes action, I'll give you seventy percent!"

Zhao Kun smiled faintly and nodded, "Good, then swear a Primordial Spirit Heavenly Oath!"

"Hold on! It seems you don't get to decide whether to cure the poison, do you? Shouldn't you be asking for my opinion?" Ye Yuan suddenly interrupted.

These fellow disciples were bargaining back and forth, completely ignoring Ye Yuan, the one who could cure the poison.

What Cheng Chongshan meant by "taking action" was naturally for Zhao Kun to capture Ye Yuan and force him to cure the poison.

Ye Yuan had anticipated this attitude from Cheng Chongshan and Zhao Kun.

What disappointed him was that even Wu Shuang remained indifferent to him, her lifesaver.

When Cheng Chongshan was poisoned, she didn't come to him for help but instead sought out Zhao Kun, clearly showing she didn't care about his life or death.

Or rather, she had never cared about his thoughts at all.

How ridiculous!

These people were a real-life version of the farmer and the snake, chilling to the bone.

Regardless of Ye Yuan's attitude, he had saved three lives.

That was a fact!

Yet not one of these three fellow disciples felt any gratitude toward him.

Disciples from the Yuzhen Heavenly Sect—Ye Yuan had truly learned something new!

Zhao Kun glanced at Ye Yuan and laughed derisively. "An ant like you—just do as you're told. Why should I ask for your opinion? I know you're skilled in spatial laws, but before me, any trick you have is useless. Of course, if you put up a fight, I have a thousand ways to make you submit. Ah, I almost forgot—you just provoked me, didn't you?"

Ye Yuan smiled. "What are you saying? A dog barking—I can't understand."

Hiss...

Ye Yuan's provocation made everyone's scalp tingle.

The National Preceptor was way too bold!

Even at this point, he was still so stubborn—wasn't he asking for trouble?

Sure enough, Zhao Kun's gaze hardened. He sneered, "Very well. It seems you really want to die! Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!"

Zhao Kun unleashed his aura, and the powerful pressure once again crushed the crowd.

He looked at Ye Yuan and scoffed, "You probably don't know that in Yuzhen Heavenly Sect, I'm famous for my ghostly movement techniques! You think your little tricks can show off in front of me?"

Ye Yuan just smiled and said nothing.

Provoked by Ye Yuan's smile, Zhao Kun snorted coldly, and his figure vanished in an instant.

"Van... vanished!"

"Not vanished—too fast! So fast we can't see!"

"This is too incredible. No wonder he's an inner disciple of Yuzhen Heavenly Sect!"

...

Zhao Kun's disappearance immediately drew gasps of amazement.

Such eerie movement techniques—they had never seen anything like it.

Cheng Chongshan looked at Ye Yuan and sneered, "You fool! Senior Brother Zhao has cultivated the sect's 'Celestial Ghost Steps' to a profound level. Even the top ten experts find him a headache!"

Just then, Ye Yuan suddenly scattered a handful of pale yellow powder into the air.

As soon as the powder appeared, it drifted with the wind.

Seeing this, Cheng Chongshan laughed even harder. "Hahaha... Are you an idiot? You think a handful of powder can deal with Senior Brother Zhao?"

Thud!

Before his words faded, a figure suddenly fell from the air.

Zhao Kun's body crashed heavily to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

At that moment, Zhao Kun's face was twisted, as if he had epilepsy—his mouth and eyes askew, twitching nonstop on the ground.

Cheng Chongshan's eyes nearly popped out.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Wh... what just happened?

A moment ago, Zhao Kun was imposing and arrogant.

The next second, he was convulsing?

Convulsing!

A top-tier Great Extreme Heaven expert was convulsing!

"You... what did you do to Senior Brother Zhao?" Cheng Chongshan asked fearfully.

Ye Yuan smiled. "I told you—I opened the jade slip's禁制, learned something from it, and refined this little toy. This thing is called 'Fall with the Wind.' You... should have heard of it, right?"

Cheng Chongshan's face changed drastically. He exclaimed, "F... Fall with the Wind! You... you actually learned Fall with the Wind! Damn it, then we..."

Before he could finish, Cheng Chongshan's mouth and eyes also twisted, and his entire body began to convulse.

With a 'plop,' he fell to the ground.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

One by one, the experts collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

Tang Yu and the others were completely stunned.

Hundreds of people falling to the ground at once, rolling their eyes and convulsing—what a spectacular sight!
