Chapter 47

Bai Jianjia looked at Zhao Shuo, who was entangled by the nine-section python, and said indifferently, "You have already been poisoned by the nine-section python. Within nine days, your bones and tendons will shatter into nine sections, and on the tenth day, your entire body will turn into pus!"

Zhao Shuo frowned and said, "Isn't this just what you want? It seems I am doomed this time. You should be happy, right?"

Bai Jianjia raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "Even without the nine-section python's poison, someone of your cultivation level wouldn't last long. Death might be a form of release, so you don't have to suffer like us!"

Zhao Shuo, puzzled, asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Jianjia gently brushed the hair from her face, her movements natural, which made Zhao Shuo pause. Noticing his reaction, Bai Jianjia said, "I wonder how your seniors taught you. Don't you know that the Death Island is a forbidden place? Here, you cannot absorb any power. The only way is to kill bone beasts and obtain essence pills. Many cultivators at the Return to Origin stage and Dao Lords have died because their powers were exhausted!"

Zhao Shuo, mouth agape, stared at Bai Jianjia and said, "So, your cultivation level must be very high?"

Bai Jianjia said softly, "When I first entered the Death Island, I was at the Law Image stage. After countless brushes with death, I am now at the initial stage of the Divine Ability realm, having touched upon several principles. However, my power is not enough to drive even minor divine abilities. Once my power is exhausted..."

Bai Jianjia stopped speaking, but even without her saying it, Zhao Shuo could guess. A hint of a strange smile appeared on his lips, "There is such a bizarre place in the world. Even a Dao Venerable might be worn down to death here."

Bai Jianjia frowned and asked, "What are you smiling about?"

Zhao Shuo shrugged and said, "What does it matter to you whether I smile or not?"

Bai Jianjia coldly snorted, gave Zhao Shuo a cold glance, and then disappeared from his sight.

The forest returned to its eerie calm, still dark and gloomy. Zhao Shuo, sitting on the ground, looked at the nine-section python coiled around him with a bitter smile. He could see the poisonous gas seeping into his body, but apart from a chill, he felt nothing else.

"Careless, truly careless. This place has such monsters. Could it be that I will be poisoned to death by this damned nine-section python!"

He tried to free himself from the python, but the poison had already seeped into his body, making him feel weak and limp. He couldn't even struggle. The only reason he could still sit there was because of the python coiled around him.

Taking a deep breath, a cold light flashed in Zhao Shuo's eyes. The Yin-Yang Wheel appeared silently above his head, like a small black hole. The nine-section python struggled a few times and was sucked into the wheel.

Without the support of the python, Zhao Shuo's body collapsed to the ground. He mentally summoned the Yin-Yang Wheel into his body, and the wheel began to spin, releasing a steady stream of powerful energy that infused his entire body.

A warm current flowed through his body, quickly suppressing the chill. After an internal inspection, Zhao Shuo let out a slight sigh of relief, but he was still somewhat worried. Although the poison from the nine-section python was temporarily suppressed, since Bai Jianjia took it so seriously, it couldn't be that simple. He feared that his power could only suppress it for a short time. If he couldn't remove the poison, he would still be doomed.

Slowly getting up from the ground, Zhao Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it. All things in the world have their counter. I don't believe there is no way to remove the poison from the nine-section python."

Looking around, he saw nothing but tall trees. The place was eerie, like a ghostly realm. The grass on the ground was not green but gray, the same color as the leaves of the trees.

A clear trail caught his eye, a patch of grass that seemed to have been pressed down, forming a long path.

Suddenly, Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "I know. This must have been made by the nine-section python when it crawled over."

With a thought, Zhao Shuo gathered his strength. As he suppressed the poison with a steady flow of power, he followed the path made by the nine-section python.

He didn't know what kind of place the Death Island was, but it had day and night. Even in the dense forest, Zhao Shuo could still feel the passage of time. As the sky grew darker, the forest became even more gloomy.

If that was all, it would be fine, but what Zhao Shuo couldn't bear was the complete silence. On his journey, he hadn't seen a single living thing, not even an insect on the ground.

At that moment, a gust of wind hit him. Zhao Shuo instinctively leaned back, and a sharp pain like a knife cut across his face, caused by the wind.

"What kind of monster!"

Although he was poisoned, Zhao Shuo's abundant power allowed him to suppress the poison. Despite his physical discomfort, his sharp spiritual senses were unaffected.

In Zhao Shuo's spiritual senses, the monster that almost pierced his head was a pitch-black crow, now perched on a tree behind him, its eyes glowing with a blood-red light, exuding a chilling aura.

"Yin-Yang Blood Crow? Could this be the legendary Yin-Yang Blood Crow?"

Zhao Shuo instinctively took a few steps back. According to legend, the Yin-Yang Blood Crow is the harbinger of death. Any cultivator who hears its soul-stealing call will likely collapse and die on the spot.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo gathered his strength. The Yin-Yang Blood Crow's attacks were mostly mental, but underestimating it could be fatal.

"Kaw! Kaw!..."

A piercing sound echoed, and despite being prepared, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but feel dizzy. The sensation of the world spinning and a splitting headache made him cry out in pain. For a moment, he couldn't even suppress the poison in his body, and the nine-section python's poison took effect, making him feel as if his bones were being extracted, and he collapsed to the ground.

True to its name, the Yin-Yang Blood Crow, with its legendary soul-stealing call, moved when it saw Zhao Shuo collapse. It swooped down again, and if it hit, Zhao Shuo would likely die from the crow's attack before the nine-section python's poison could take his life.
