Chapter 2306 - 2307: The Poison Sutra! (Third Update)
The woman died, died decisively, mainly because Ye Qiu’s attack was too fierce, and of course, one aspect was that he didn’t show any mercy.
Directly using ruthless means to destroy a flower, killing a beautiful woman.
For Ye Qiu, who always adhered to the principle of not hitting or killing women, today was a rare breach of his rule.
That’s because this woman made Ye Qiu feel threatened.
Earlier, Ye Qiu seemed to casually mention that he was an expert in using poison, but in reality, his words were somewhat exaggerated.
At this moment, his fingertips had already turned black.
This woman’s expertise in poisoning was so advanced that even Ye Qiu ignored it; the poison on him wasn’t left by the woman approaching him just now, but when she first appeared behind him. It was at that moment that Ye Qiu failed to notice, until her excessive actions suddenly woke him up, and only then did he notice the slight change within his body.
If not for the woman’s actions, Ye Qiu might not have realized it, because he hadn’t noticed he was poisoned.
Just from this point alone, there was enough reason for Ye Qiu to strike decisively.
Ye Qiu was a high-level expert, of the level of the heavens, and this woman could silently poison him, what did this mean? It meant she was a threat to Ye Qiu’s life. With such a person, how could Ye Qiu possibly spare her just because she was a woman?
He was principled, yes, and rarely violated his own rules, but when it comes into conflict with his own life, what value do those principles hold?
This woman couldn’t be allowed to live; at that moment, the thought arose in Ye Qiu’s heart.
Otherwise, in the future, he might end up stumbling.
Having come this far, reaching the level of the heavens, Ye Qiu had been through too much, if he were to stumble at the hands of a woman, not only would others mock him to death, but even Ye Qiu himself wouldn’t be able to respect himself; it would be too humiliating for him, a humiliation he couldn’t afford.
So, this woman was better off dead.
Looking at the woman’s radiant face, now lifeless, Ye Qiu felt a bit of pity. It had to be said, this dangerous woman was indeed a beauty that had piqued his interest earlier.
But Ye Qiu was also a man of the world; his confidantes, in terms of beauty, might not be inferior to this woman.
Actually, the last sentence was purely meant to taunt the woman; if truly comparing beauty, except for Shangguan Mingyue, neither Lin Qiao’er nor Shen Mengchen, nor Fang Sijie could match this woman’s beauty.
But so what? Ye Qiu’s confidantes were already numerous enough, and he didn’t wish to add another one, especially when this was a femme fatale, a woman who could poison him at any moment and was hard to detect.
After the woman died, Ye Qiu searched her body, checking all over.
No storage ring, and no storage bag, but he did find a book named "Poison Scripture" in front of the woman’s chest.
Ye Qiu retracted his hand regretfully; the softness had momentarily stirred his heart, but he quickly recovered, as Ye Qiu wasn’t perverted enough to take advantage of a dead person, and feel stirred by it.
The woman’s skill in poisoning, Ye Qiu had witnessed firsthand; although he killed her easily, Ye Qiu knew if he hadn’t discovered it early, he would have been in danger.
The toxins within his body had been contained, not spreading; Ye Qiu glanced at the "Poison Scripture," and found many recorded poison pills he had never heard of or seen.
This was a rather systematic and comprehensive poison pill compendium.
Ye Qiu felt he had found a treasure; this thing was undoubtedly useful to him, especially for an alchemist; discovering such a complex method of alchemy was quite the thrill.
Just this "Poison Scripture" alone was worth it.
Once he was done dealing with the matters of Atlantis, he could fully delve into studying and crafting stronger poison pills, and with the assistance of the poison techniques recorded, Ye Qiu felt he could slay heavenly-level abilities without much effort.
But now wasn’t the time to study the "Poison Scripture"; after putting it away, Ye Qiu summoned General Sevilla and the others who were lurking in the dark, as they had come along to take over the warships once again.
General Sevilla was accustomed to Ye Qiu swiftly resolving a location; however, his subordinates were all visibly shocked, many of them were warriors eager to follow; Ye Qiu’s deeds were already legendary within the Atlantis clan; naturally, everyone wanted to witness it firsthand. Now seeing the vast rebel base, completely devoid of soldiers, indeed left these people amazed.
Subsequently, the group joyously received the rebels’ warships, increasing their faction’s arsenal even further.
Ye Qiu, having made a move, naturally couldn’t just return like this.
This was only the beginning; today’s gains must not be less than those of yesterday.
Thus, Ye Qiu led General Sevilla and the others to continue attacking the rebel bases.
With Ye Qiu present, others had no worry about safety issues at all.
"General, someone has already discovered us; they have thirty warships, we’re in serious danger."
"And more than that, their warships are all the newest models, ones never seen before, surely more powerful; will General Ye be okay facing them alone?" someone asked worriedly.
Facing his subordinates’ concerns, General Sevilla smiled, showing no panic at all, sat down, and said, "As long as General Ye is here, no matter how strong the rebels, they’re all paper tigers, and ultimately no match for General Ye. Put your worries to rest; there’s only one thing you must do, and that is to trust General Ye unconditionally."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the screen; the many warships ahead had already appeared, all aiming at Ye Qiu.
Will Ye Qiu really be okay?
The people in the rear warships had mixed feelings; before seeing Ye Qiu’s real strength, the vast majority still had some reservations and worry about Ye Qiu facing so many warships.
Suddenly.
Those warships opened fire, launching a fierce assault towards them.
In the air, countless fire dragons suddenly appeared, mighty heat waves crashing down, transforming into a raging sea of fire.
Under everyone’s gaze, the terrifying waves of fire surged continuously, gathering and rising ever higher.
Like a waterfall of flames, descending from the heavens.
The rebel headquarters, this scene was transmitted back via screens, whether it was the leaders or the prophet, they were all watching the figure before the waves of fire.
Can all these attacks kill him?
In the next second, that figure moved.
A sword qi, vast and immense, seemed to traverse the universe, appearing before everyone’s eyes like the creation of heaven and earth.
Soon, they saw this sword qi cutting through the gathered flame attacks.
