Chapter 975: Plot
The green mist swept towards Beast Keeper Feng, but the man showed no fear at all. The muscled old man smirked towards Sage and the bars separating them flickered with energy, creating a solid barrier between them. The old man was pleased inwardly. This Lang Sheng had already shown off an expertise with poisons, not only was he prepared for them, each of these pens already had plenty of safeguards against them.
Unfortunately for the Beast Keeper, what Sage used was not a simple poison. While it may lack greatly in potency when compared to others, the medium it used was extremely unusual. The Sunset Rain Snakes venom could corrode nearly every kind of defense, but the Searing Greenrose Miasma didnt need to. The spiritual nature of the miasma meant it outright avoided most defenses. Only purely spirit type energies could affect it. The Icefire Valley had been something of a forbidden zone and only once every few decades did the miasma let up enough for Nascent Souls to dare to traverse it with great difficulty.
The Greenrose Miasma was a more powerful version of the miasma that surrounded the Icefire Valley, improved over thousands of years on the Inner World. Sages personal version also included Searing in the name, tweaked so he could use it with two laws, both of which were now being moved with full force as the green mist swept right through the barrier and the bars as if they werent even there. The Beast Keepers eyes widened and he had little time to react. The old man fled at his full speed, but the area he was in was a somewhat narrow walkway, only intended for a caretaker to bring in a cart of food while remaining out of reach of the beast within the cage. The walkway on the other side of the bars was ten feet wide, but this was nothing in comparison to the speed of a Nascent Soul or their attacks. Beast Keeper Deng had to instantly choose between the closer door that led into the den where theyd entered from the secret passage, or the further away door that led out of the beast enclosure.
The old man chose the longer path, running towards the door that led out of the beast enclosure. Sage purposely chose to aim his attack in the center of the walkway so that if the Beast Keeper chose to escape the enclosure hed be running right into the most intense concentration of miasma. If he decided to head back into the den it would be much easier. Since this place was run by the Beast Keeper, it would not be good to let him flee back into his home ground. What if the guy just ran out and opened up all the cages? Wouldnt it be a farce to spend so much effort to beat these beasts only to find themselves face to face with the Sunset Rain Snake? Who knew what other sorts of monsters they kept down here?
The only real downside was he had to watch.
A strangled cry was released, drowning out the chiming of the boars tusk tapping against its rib plate. Then there was a flurry of chaotic clanging while the boar flailed around in pain. It took off running, trying to escape the nightmare that was behind it, but no matter how fast it ran it couldnt escape from the pain of the wound that had already been inflicted upon it. After stabbing the blade into the boar, Sage twisted his shoulder and swung his arm straight down, ripping it down through the body of the beast and using the blade of Qi to disembowel it. Or, he would have, if its hide wasnt made of such a hard stone-like material. Instead of allowing entrails to spill all over the ground, he only succeeded in dicing them up and ensuring that the poor boar would die, but it wasnt going to be quick.
That poor creature.
Sage didnt choose to follow after the boar and instead turned around to stab his blade up against the barrier over the bars. Hed already suspected a barrier formation of this sort already existed which is why he hadnt bothered to copy the Beast Keepers move of releasing beasts through the bars. Until he had secured an escape route, there was no way he was going to show off all his tricks.
