Chapter 477: Improvement
After so many years laboring as a test dummy, Sage developed the technique to ignore pain. Combined with the Blood of Nine Pits, he was ready. As a Poison Master, there was no way he could secretly poison Guan Zhenyan. Instead, he struck when the man would least expect it. Not when Sage visited his home to make a request. Not when Guan Zhenyan was accompanying him into the town for an errand, and definitely not anytime he called the man to the little hovel he was renting. No, the best time to strike was right after Guan Zhenyan had poisoned him. Sage would appear to be at his weakest and most vulnerable. It was a routine that continued for years, and before administering the poison Guan Zhenyan was at his most wary. The moment of highest alert would always be followed by the most relaxed state. After being on guard, once a person felt safe enough to relax, they would be at their least wary. It was a high that had to be made up for with a low. Nobody could maintain a hyper vigilant state forever, and after so many years of routine, he would be conditioned to feel not a hint of wariness against Sage in his incapacitated state.
Now, this wasnt completely foolproof. Some of the poisons that Guan Zhenyan tested were not purely harmful. Some of them were powerful stimulants or other body affecting concoctions that made him run around and smash things. Guan Zhenyan would only drop his guard after the poison had already taken effect and put Sage into a weak and helpless state. If Sage wanted to make an attack at that moment, he would have to trick Guan Zhenyan into thinking he was incapacitated. It was no easy task to fool someone so much more powerful, so it took quite a lot of effort to finally find a way.
On that fateful day, Sage was standing before Guan Zhenyan. They were within the courtyard of the mans manor.
At first, Guan Zhenyan had charged him for the service to have a servant carry Sages body back to his shed, but when Sage insisted on Guan Zhenyan having to come to his little shack to perform the test, the man relented and waved the transportation fee. They also previously conducted all the tests indoors, but after Guan Zhenyans floors were covered in vomit or blood, Sage was charged for making a mess and the two came to another compromise. In the courtyard he could be abused and make a mess, while Guan Zhenyan could stay on the porch and observe the changes without being at the mercy of the weather. Even if they were within a huge and towering city, it had its own artificial weather systems to please the wealthy. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Guan Zhenyan flicked his finger and a small dart flew out like a flash of lightning. It stuck into Sages neck and he felt only a tiny pinch. The dart was light and thin, the strike felt more like a fly landing on his arm than a piece of metal puncturing his neck. He didnt bother to reach up and take it out, if Guan Zhenyan wanted that to happen he would have pulled the dart back with a bit of Spirit Power telekinesis. Sage just stood there normally and let the poison overtake him. This was their usual routine, Sage merely standing like a dummy and allowing himself to be harmed. His only responsibility was to describe the things happening to him. He wasnt supposed to resist or take any actions unless told to. Usually, a new poison had him standing helplessly while improvements upon poisons had him performing specific actions to see how they altered the poisons effects.
The poison this time was overbearing. While it was delayed in its activation time, when it finally kicked in, it was like a bomb went off inside his body, which he immediately relayed. He fell down to one knee, Argh! It took a while to kick in, but it feels like my insides just exploded! My organs are still intact, but the surrounding tissues are torn up.
All of his vital organs were bleeding, just like theyd sprung a bunch of holes. He was pretty sure that without his enhanced healing or a few higher ranked healing pills hed be on the verge of death. He continued to relay the rest of the effects, and by the end, Guan Zhenyan was talking to him directly, using the telepathic bond that hed established with the small flower hed planted in Sages core.
Sage wasnt done yet. There was still one more surprise. A shield suddenly appeared on top of Sages collapsed body. He was still physically incapacitated, but merely calling out a light object like a shield was no trouble. Guan Zhenyan took it as Sages attempt to protect himself while he rebelled, without giving it a second thought he kicked the shield away. Unfortunately, that momentary lack of vigilance caused him endless pain.
Just as Guan Zhenyans foot touched the shield, it released a storm of needles. It was not just any shield, it was an Arrow Wall shield, one that Sage had loaded with thousands of needles. Each fired with force enough to break the speed of sound and coated with the most vicious of poisons he had developed so far. He called it Soul Peeler, the result of taking the Twin Ringed Soul Serpents innate poison and combining it with some of Guan Zhenyans most potent and powerful brews. It had to enter the bloodstream, but when it did it rapidly corroded Spirit Power. The same energy that Guan Zhenyan was using to power the clouds assaulting Sages Twin Soul.
Thousands of needles fired with terrifying force, covering a huge cone and even launching in multiple waves. Even so, only a single needle pierced into the bottom of Guan Zhenyans foot. The rest he perfectly dealt with.
One was enough.
The poison entering Guan Zhenyans body was not too difficult for him to deal with, but when combined with the Twin Soul he had to pay a terrible price. A fierce battle was fought and after a few hours the Twin Soul was finally destroyed and the poison was completely isolated and expelled.
Guan Zhenyan was panting, his body heavily injured and weakened. The aura of strength he always emitted was greatly reduced. He glared at Sages incapacitated form, seemingly planning his revenge. What he didnt expect was Sages final card.
A massive suction force overwhelmed his remaining dregs of strength and the mighty Guan Zhenyan disappeared into the Universe Ring.
