Chapter 82: Poison Immunity
The purple mist covered the entire arena.
As the mist spread, the weeds along the edges of the Soul Arena quickly turned to ash.
In the Royal Fight Team's resting area, Qin Ming hurriedly rushed out. Seeing the purple mist filling the arena, he was filled with urgency and shouted to Dugu Yan:
"Yan Zi, stop! This is a competition! Withdraw the Azure Scale Purple Poison!"
Dugu Yan turned her head away. "They've injured Tianheng like this. I will never let them off easily!"
Seeing that Dugu Yan's killing intent hadn't subsided, Qin Ming turned his head and anxiously called out to the Oakland team:
"Oakland's team members, quickly get off the arena! The Azure Scale Purple Poison is extremely dangerous, and the poison spreads quickly. Even a small amount of purple mist will turn into pus within moments!"
"This is no longer a competition! Get off the arena quickly!"
Qin Ming's words terrified the audience. The front-row spectators immediately jumped out of their seats, hurriedly running to the back row, their eyes filled with fear of the purple mist.
The three VIPs in the stands also frowned deeply. It was one thing for a match to be competitive, but now it had escalated to the point where someone might get killed.
Dai Yao's gaze sharpened. Having read the original story, he knew just how deadly the Azure Scale Purple Poison could be.
The Tang Sect is famous for two things: hidden weapons and poison. Tang San had used Xiong Huang liquor to neutralize the Azure Scale Purple Poison.
However, that not only required the White Tiger's Fierce Light Wave to shatter the wine jar and turn the liquor into mist in the air, but also needed Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line to ignite it.
He had the White Tiger's Fierce Light Wave, but there was no one to replace Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line.
"Sigh, what a shame. It looks like I have to give up on this match," Dai Yao thought to himself.
Although he still had the desire to fight, the Azure Scale Purple Poison was too dangerous, and there was no need to risk death over this match.
Seeing that Feng Qianli was still hesitating, Dai Yao persuaded, "Captain, quickly leave the arena! This Azure Scale Purple Poison is too deadly."
Feng Qianli, filled with regret, turned and pulled Luo Feng off the arena.
Dai Yao walked to the edge of the Soul Arena and handed Zhu Zhuqing to an Oakland female doctor. He then glanced at the purple mist again.
For some reason, the mist felt strangely familiar.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he remembered the poison that the assassins had used on him when he left the Star Luo Empire—it felt exactly the same as the purple mist in front of him.
"The poison in that cup was the Azure Scale Purple Poison!"
Dai Yao's eyes widened in surprise, and then he smiled.
"Since it's the Azure Scale Purple Poison, then I'm not afraid of it."
Since being poisoned by it, and due to the power of the Chaos Green Lotus, he had developed immunity to this poison and no longer feared it.
"Get down, Dai Yao! It's just a competition; you don't need to risk your life!" Feng Qianli shouted anxiously as he saw Dai Yao still on the arena.
"I've realized I can deal with this poison now," Dai Yao explained.
Feng Qianli paused, then said helplessly, "Dai Yao, even if you can handle this poison, there are still three people left on the other side. You're no match for them."
Dai Yao didn't answer. He simply looked at Feng Qianli with a calm but resolute gaze.
It was as though the three members of the Royal Fight Team weren't soul masters, but ordinary people with no strength, easily eliminated with a wave of his hand.
Feng Qianli didn't know where this strange feeling came from. After a moment, he could only instruct, "Then go ahead. If things seem impossible, just admit defeat."
"Mm."
Dai Yao nodded and turned to walk towards the purple mist.
Dai Yao's actions caused an uproar from everyone.
"Why did he go back?"
"Is he trying to get himself killed?"
Especially Qin Ming, who understood the power of the Azure Scale Purple Poison all too well. Seeing Dai Yao return to the Soul Arena, he was frantic.
President Jackson was even more anxious. He quickly stood up, wanting to stop the match.
"President Jackson, wait. Since Dai Yao has chosen to return to the arena, he must be confident in his ability. Let's keep watching. Even if he gets injured, the Spirit Hall will protect him," Salas said indifferently.
"Since that's the case, I'll keep watching," President Jackson replied, but he still felt uneasy.
Dai Yao was Oakland's hope, and they couldn't afford for anything to happen to him.
Hearing Salas's confidence in Dai Yao, Ning Fengzhi became even more interested in him.
Meanwhile, on the Royal Fight Team's side:
"Leng Leng, quickly heal Tianheng."
Dugu Yan looked at the barely alive Yu Tianheng with a pained expression, her heart in anguish.
Ye Lingling nodded, the Nine Heart Begonia blooming, and, amid the gasps of everyone, Yu Tianheng, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly stood up, fully revived, with all of his wounds gone.
This change stunned everyone.
Feng Qianli was immediately filled with despair. He had felt the full extent of Yu Tianheng's strength, and now that Yu Tianheng was fully recovered, how could Dai Yao, who was only at level 20, possibly stand a chance against him?
In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed. "Such a domineering Nine Heart Begonia!"
Even Salas was surprised as he watched the girl in the black veil.
"Thank you, Yan Zi, Leng Leng," Yu Tianheng said, expressing his gratitude after his recovery.
"You're welcome." Ye Lingling remained indifferent as always.
Dugu Yan's previously tense expression melted into a charming smile. "We're teammates, we should help each other."
Hearing the audience's gasps, she turned her head and saw Dai Yao still on the arena. A cold smile appeared on her face.
"To hurt Tianheng like that, and still think you can just leave? You will all die!"
She then activated her soul power, and the purple mist began to drift towards the already downed Oakland team members.
"Stop!" President Jackson, Qin Ming, and Yu Tianheng all shouted at the same time.
But it was too late. The purple mist had already reached the Oakland team and surrounded them.
Feng Qianli and the others were already exhausted, and the sudden spread of the purple mist caught them off guard, making it unavoidable for them to be affected.
As soon as the mist touched them, they began coughing in agony, writhing on the ground. Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was still unconscious, showed signs of pain.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing in pain, Dai Yao's rage flared. His eyes seemed to burn with fury as he snarled:
"Dugu Yan, you're asking for death!!!"
His voice was like something from the depths of hell, cold and piercing.
Dai Yao knew from the original story just how cruel Dugu Yan was. After Yu Tianheng was injured, she had released the Azure Scale Purple Poison, intending to kill the Shrek Seven Devils.
But he never expected that even after the Oakland team had already left the arena, Dugu Yan still wouldn't spare them.
"Overestimating yourself. I think it's you who's asking for death!" Dugu Yan said coldly.
Yu Tianheng sighed helplessly, stepping in front of Dugu Yan, and said to Dai Yao, "We were wrong in this matter, but if you want to harm Yan Zi, you'll have to go through me first!"
Dugu Yan's actions caused a storm of condemnation from all sides. The entire Soul Arena erupted in anger, with cries of protest shaking the air!
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's agonizing expression, Dai Yao's heart burned with fury. But he knew that to get revenge for the Oakland team and make Dugu Yan pay, he had to eliminate Ye Lingling first!
