CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 375: THE ARROGANT ALCHEMY KING

"A mere clown..." the Beixie Emperor read it backwards this time, and it made sense.

Pfft~!

Li Shishi couldn’t help but cover her mouth and snicker; her master really knew how to tease people. Even when deploying poison, he still managed to play so many tricks.

After repeating it twice, the ’wise and brave’ Beixie Emperor got the point. Enraged, he bellowed, "You little brat Chu Feng, how dare you curse me as a mere clown! Attack, spare no expense, breach Thunder Cave!"

"I must dig out this tongue of yours! No, even that would not be enough to quench my hatred! I will choose an executioner skilled in torture, to use a small knife to slice slowly, meticulously flaying the skin, cutting three thousand three hundred and thirty times. On the first day, cut one thousand five hundred times, but do not kill. On the second day, another thousand cuts before permitting death. On the third day, continue slicing the dead body until all flesh is cut into pieces the size of a fingernail, then my hatred will be satisfied!"

The Beixie Emperor was truly infuriated by Chu Feng, exploding with rage and ordering an all-out assault on Thunder Cave on the spot.

Yet, he was completely unaware that despite protecting his hands with sword light when examining the Blood Letter, how could the poison of Alchemy Venerate Chu Feng be so easily guarded against?

Rage quickens the heartbeat, easily accelerating the circulation of blood.

Thus, it also causes the poison to take effect more quickly.

Both the Beixie Emperor and the Beixie National Master were infuriated by Chu Feng to the point of rage, inadvertently hastening the onset of the poison’s effects.

The Beixie National Master, who was the first to touch the Blood Letter without any protective measures, had already noticed something was amiss.

He felt an intense itching in his hands, as if countless ants were crawling inside his palms.

Looking at the guard who first touched the Blood Letter, he was incessantly scratching himself, and red rashes started to break out all over his body.

"Damn, the Blood Letter is poisoned!" Though the cultivation of the Beixie National Master was exceedingly high, his resistance to this poison was almost nil. He could clearly feel the poison spreading throughout his body without realizing it.

It was even attacking his heart.

His guard was already exhibiting symptoms of poisoning. Without a doubt, he was afflicted.

"What? The Blood Letter is poisoned?" The Beixie Emperor was also startled and even more furious. "Seize this demoness for me!"

Even so, the Beixie Emperor still could not bear to kill Li Shishi.

Chu Feng, inside Thunder Cave, had also counted on this, which was why he dared to let Li Shishi risk delivering the Blood Letter.

For now, it seemed Li Shishi was not in danger. However, what was to come was unpredictable, because once the Beixie Emperor and the Beixie National Master realize they cannot cure the poison, they will certainly panic.

At that time, they are very likely to engage in irrational acts.

Using Li Shishi as a hostage to threaten Chu Feng could be a significant leverage. It is even possible that, in their fury, they would kill Li Shishi.

Chu Feng had given two elixirs to Li Shishi, hoping they would save her life.

"Summon Alchemy King Luo Qian at once!" The Beixie Emperor, a man of ten thousand chariots, poisoned? That won’t do. So, the Chief Eunuch immediately called out in a high-pitched voice for Alchemy Master Luo Qian to come.

This Chief Eunuch named Wengao was probably worried for himself as well.

Because he had also touched the Blood Letter just moments ago.

The elite forces of the Beixie Empire began a relentless offense on Thunder Cave, sparing no expense in bringing in siege weapons.

Unfortunately for them, the power of Chu Feng’s Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation was truly formidable.

Plus, with the Northern Domain Three Evils, these three super experts of Sword Saint Level guarding the entrance, for the time being they encountered no trouble. They stood at the cave mouth with the unyielding bravery of an army ten thousand strong.

Soon, a middle-aged man in an Alchemy Master Robe was carried over in a sedan chair.

And it was the Golden Throne Soft Sedan Chair of the Beixie Emperor himself.

Such an honor, such supreme treatment, could only be enjoyed by Alchemy King Luo Qian.

"Master Luo, please take a look at His Majesty. I was careless just now and fell for Chu Feng’s trick. The Blood Letter was poisoned..." Wengao hurriedly recounted what had happened.

"Your Majesty, do not panic. Just now, I have already treated those poisoned soldiers. Though the poison was severe, I have detoxified them. They have almost fully recovered,"

Alchemy King Luo Qian had an impressive bearing; he spoke with confidence and composure as he stroked his beard.

In his eyes, such minor poisons were easy to handle.

"Across the entire Dan State North Territory, there hasn’t been a poison I couldn’t cure. Let me first examine the poison affecting Your Majesty, and then I will prepare the antidote!" The words of Alchemy King Luo Qian were like a tranquilizer to the Beixie Emperor and the State Preceptor, among others.

Everyone believed Master Luo would surely be able to help the Beixie Emperor and others rid themselves of this poison.

Alchemy King Luo Qian first checked the Beixie Emperor’s pulse and examined the symptoms of the poisoning.

"It seems to be itching powder!"

Having seen the symptoms, he immediately made a diagnosis.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this poison is so simple that any Pill Master could concoct it. It is very easy to cure."

"This Detoxification Pill, Your Majesty just needs to swallow it, and the poison in your body should be eliminated quickly."

Alchemy King Luo Qian took out a Fifth-grade Detoxification Pill from his pocket and administered it to the Beixie Emperor.

He was fully confident that he could help the Beixie Emperor detoxify.

Shortly after taking the Elixir, the Beixie Emperor felt much more comfortable.

"Alchemy King Luo Qian is indeed one of the top Pill Masters in the Dan State North Territory, exceptional in the Alchemy Dao. This Detoxification Pill is indeed very effective," the Beixie Emperor praised repeatedly.

Alchemy King Luo Qian also gave one to the State Preceptor and Chief Eunuch Wengao, but as for the trusted aide, due to his much lower status, he received much less favorable treatment.

He only received a Third-grade Detoxification Pill.

...

"Attack with all your might, has no one eaten their fill?" Having suffered such a big loss, not only was the Beixie Emperor ridiculed by Chu Feng as a jumping clown, but he was also poisoned with Chu Feng’s itching powder.

The fury and Killing Aura in his heart reached their peak.

The Beixie National Master also personally took command of the siege, which lasted for more than half the day, to no avail.

The terrain here is extremely high, so trying to flood them out is definitely not going to work. Using fire, however, is a good idea.

"Bring someone, get some flammable oil and the like, burn them to death!" The Beixie National Master shouted fiercely with a gloomy face.

Inside Thunder Cave, Chu Feng smiled nonchalantly, "Burn, burn, go ahead and burn. But I must remind you, the itching powder won’t be so easy to cure."

"Don’t you dare beg me when the time comes!"

Chu Feng said with a sneer.

Just then, a Soldier reported to the Beixie Emperor, "Your Majesty, it seems that the demoness has also been poisoned, she is covered with red rashes all over her body."

Indeed, when the Beixie Emperor turned his head, he saw Li Shishi locked in a cage, with red rashes covering her face and hands, which looked incredibly irritating to behold.

"Chu Feng, you are really cruel and heartless, to even lay hands on your own Maid!" the Beixie Emperor shouted coldly into Thunder Cave.

"Just a woman, if she’s dead, then she’s dead, what’s there to care about. There are plenty of beautiful women in this world." What Chu Feng wanted was exactly this effect. Only then could he ensure to the greatest extent that the Beixie Emperor and the others wouldn’t vent their anger on Li Shishi.
