"All my previous actions were to seal you here. You have a teleportation talisman in your hand, right? You were hesitating before, but there's no need to crush it now. You have lost all possibility of escaping from here!"
Saintly Star smiled sinisterly as he strode toward Xu Qing, looking at the latter like he was looking at a dead person.
'The seal is indeed flawless." Xu Qing continued to survey his surroundings. After confirming that it was as Saintly Star had said, he calmly spoke. At the same time, he threw away the jade slip in his hand and took out an iron box. He opened it and threw it to the side.
The jade slip wasn't a teleportation talisman but an extremely ordinary message slip.
The iron box was none other than the wish box. It contained the poison pill that even the monk head couldn't resist.
As soon as the pill was exposed to the world, its aura spread out.
This scene stunned Saintly Star and his eyes narrowed. He didn't know what that pill was but he instinctively felt that something was wrong and wanted to destroy it. However, Xu Qing used all his strength to stop him and stall for time, causing the aura emitted by the poisonous pill to increase.
As this place was sealed tightly, the poison pill's aura couldn't drift outside the seal. It could only gather in the blood world that was still shrinking. The poison aura here naturally became denser and denser.
This was Xu Qing's plan.
Xu Qing didn't know what trump cards Saintly Star had and he couldn't take any precautions against them. Moreover, the two of them were evenly matched, so Xu Qing couldn't kill him in a short period of time to obtain the life lantern.
Xu Qing knew that he lacked time. Once the Dao Protectors arrived, he would definitely die.
Hence, he was clear that there was only one way to end this battle as soon as possible.
That was to let Saintly Star use his methods step by step according to his thoughts and create a similar sealed environment. That was why he had taken out the jade slip many times and given Saintly Star the illusion that he was trying to use a teleportation talisman.
He was taking advantage of Saintly Star's greed.
If Saintly Star wanted to snatch the life lantern, he had to block Xu Qing's escape and restrict teleportation. Xu Qing used this point to control the rhythm of the battle.
Xu Qing was letting Saintly Star carry out this battle step by step until he set up a battlefield that looked suitable for him but was actually more suitable for him.
On this battlefield, he wanted to compete with Saintly Star on who could live the longest under the life-ending poison!
Saintly Star was a smart person. Although he didn't know how powerful the poison pill was, he had a guess. As his expression changed, killing intent flashed in his eyes. He took out a large number of antidotes and swallowed them, wanting to continue attacking.
However, at this moment, his expression changed drastically. He saw that his right hand had actually begun to rot. What frightened him even more was that he hadn't felt anything at all. He quickly retreated to check his entire body.
With just one look, his pupils contracted. He noticed that many parts of his body were silently rotting. As for his antidote pills, they were completely useless!
"What poison is this!"
While Saintly Star was shocked, some rotting spots appeared on Xu Qing's face. However, they were clearly much smaller and fewer. He didn't answer Saintly Star's question and rushed out, starting to counterattack.
He wasn't going to give Saintly Star any chance. He wanted to drag this battle into a competition of recovery and resistance to poison.
For the first time, horror appeared in Saintly Star's eyes. He wanted to try and disperse the seal formed by the Taboo magic treasure, but what he said earlier was true. It was very difficult for him to remove this seal, let alone that there was an eye formed by the projection of the Seven Blood Eyes' magic treasure suppressing it.
Under the double suppression, it became impossible for him to disperse the seal of the Taboo magic treasure. He could only wait for it to dissipate on its own. This time wasn't very long. At most, it would take two incense sticks of time.
However, the horror in Saintly Star's eyes grew increasingly dense. He discovered that the rotting area of his body was getting larger and larger. At the same time, the shadow in his magic aperture was also stirring, as though it was about to spread.
Xu Qing's attack was unprecedentedly savage. At this moment, he got close and threw a punch over. Saintly Star dodged but Xu Qing slammed him hard with his head. Saintly Star didn't dare to collide this time and could only retreat.
However, Xu Qing's speed didn't decrease. He attacked with all his might without dodging. As he attacked, the Golden Crow erupted and refined crazily. Black flames filled the air and the life lantern suppressed Saintly Star again and again.
Moreover, Xu Qing's target was either the neck or the stomach.
He targeted the neck to kill and the stomach to dig out the life lantern.
Xu Qing had a life lantern, so he knew where it was.
Saintly Star became increasingly flustered. He let out a mournful cry and took out a large number of medicinal pills to replenish his vitality. There was also madness in his eyes amidst the horror. A life-and-death crisis filled his entire body. He understood that this battle was a competition of who could survive.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he would go all out. His eyes were bloodshot as he fought back amidst the increasingly dense poisonous aura.
Sounds of attacks continued to ring out. A while later.
Xu Qing was bleeding from many parts and his entire body was rotting. However, he still punched Saintly Star's abdomen. Saintly Star raised his hand to resist and was forced back. His entire body was dripping with rotting water and he was completely disfigured like a wet clay statue.
Xu Qing rushed forward again and lifted his knee to ruthlessly strike the stomach. Saintly Star roared, but there was only an unintelligible sound. His internal organs were rotting and he could only try to defend with his hands.
