C22 Kill Again!

Kill again.

The Young Lord is truly blessed this time. Who would have thought he'd actually obtain Dragon Qi? From now on, he's destined to perfect the arts of the Celestial Snake Palace to their highest level," said someone standing outside the cave, his words laced with envy.

"Absolutely, Dragon Qi is incredibly rare and invaluable. Just a trace can catapult one's strength to new heights. The role of the next Palace Mistress of the Celestial Snake Palace is undoubtedly reserved for the Young Lord," another agreed, nodding emphatically, his face alight with excitement. "As the Young Lord's trusted confidants, our status is sure to climb once he takes over as Palace Mistress."

Their excitement swelled as they fantasized about a future filled with adoration from countless disciples at the Celestial Snake Palace. Yet, they were unaware of a wisp of pale blue mist inching toward them.

The mist was subtle, yet it seemed sentient, slowly encircling the two men.

"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel so dizzy and tired?" one of them said, shaking his head as he sensed something was off.

"Me too! I feel completely drained. This is bad!" They realized the danger too late.

"How could it be you?!" Their eyes widened in shock as they stared at the young man beside them. Qin Feng looked on with a chilling smirk, the last person they expected.

Just then, a piercing force burst forth, shattering all restraints and swiftly slicing across their necks.

In an instant, a thin line of blood appeared on each of their necks, followed by a gush of blood spurting out like a fountain, leaving their bodies limp and lifeless on the ground.

"How could it be you?!" they exclaimed, eyes wide with disbelief, staring at the young man beside them. That young man, Qin Feng, watched them with a cold smirk on his face.

"How are you not dead yet?!" they demanded, incredulous that even with the combined might of two experts from the Celestial Snake Palace, they had failed to kill Qin Feng, who was merely at Body Tempering level 6.

"Disappointed?" Qin Feng chuckled lightly, pleased with the outcome of dispatching the two with a swift move.

He had just discovered a plant with a pale blue hue, known as Bewildering Grass.

Most were unaware of its effects, but Qin Feng, in his past life as the Pill King, was intimately familiar with its potent properties.

Bewildering Grass is a key ingredient in a powerful hallucinogenic concoction that could incapacitate an expert at the True Spirit Stage when mixed with other materials. Although Qin Feng currently lacked the means to produce such a hallucinogen, the Bewildering Grass alone was sufficient to render two Body Tempering level 8 fighters powerless.

"I must act quickly!"

With the two adversaries no longer breathing on the ground, Qin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of cold determination flashing through them as he quickly entered the pitch-black cave.

From the outside, the cave's entrance appeared only half a zhang wide, but as Qin Feng stepped inside, he discovered a vast hidden chamber.

The darkness of the cave would have been a hindrance to most, but Qin Feng's eyesight had been greatly enhanced by reaching Body Tempering level 5, allowing him to see with ease.

The air inside was cool and moist, the walls of the cave slick to the touch.

Several hundred meters in, Qin Feng felt a sudden chill, his instincts alerting him to danger.

Phantom Steps!

He reacted in an instant, executing the evasive technique.

A chilling voice reverberated through the cavern.

Qin Feng turned toward the sound and finally laid eyes on his attacker.

A monstrous creature, the size of a basin, with a grotesque face and a shrill screech, confronted him.

"White jade spider!" Qin Feng's brow furrowed at the sight.

The creature before him was indeed a white jade spider, its body a pristine white like jade, with dark, malevolent eyes and fangs dripping with venomous saliva.
