Chapter 26: Phoenix Blood Pool

The dagger was retracted, Meng Zhugang's eyes widened, and the knife in his other hand, which was supposed to chop Fu Qingzhou's neck artery, hung in the air, shook, and finally fell to the ground.

As this man died, Fu Qingzhou also staggered two steps, coughed heavily a few times, and black blood foam spurted out of his mouth and nose.

"Umm..."

He began to chant again.

"Don't recite it, it's useless." The Smoker's voice sounded faintly: "Do you think that magic can be used without restrictions? It's a beautiful thought."

Fu Qingzhou was startled and was about to say something, but all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away at once. His legs went limp and he knelt on one knee on the ground.

No wonder... He smiled bitterly. No wonder he felt more and more tired the more he fought. It felt as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was on his heart. It turned out that it was not that his body could not bear it, but that the detoxification spell was ineffective?

"It's just that this kid's poison skills are mediocre, otherwise, with just these two attacks from you, he would have been poisoned to pieces long ago."

The smoker sneered, "Alright, go soak in the Phoenix Blood Pool. Even though that thing can't remove my curse, it can still cure the little poison in your body."

There were gusts of evil wind in the surrounding woods. Kuaye and his helper were still fighting the Miao killers sent by the elders.

Fu Qingzhou could no longer care about them. He walked towards the Phoenix Blood Pool while coughing up blood.

This place is a mountain top filled with spiritual white mist. The Phoenix Blood Pool is on the edge of the cliff. The Miao people of Wandu Mountain have simply surrounded the edge of the pool with stone bricks. There is steam rising above the pool, and it is actually a hot spring.

"Drink!"

Just as he was about to approach the Phoenix Blood Pool, a Miao girl covered in scars suddenly rushed out from the woods on the mountain path. She gritted her teeth and shouted, rushing over with a scimitar in her hand, and slashed at Fu Qingzhou!
But just when she was about to succeed, Kua Ye swooped in, kicked her over, and then stomped hard on her chest.

The Miao girl spurted out blood, her expression extremely painful: "Brother Kua Ye! Why, it's obviously your father who..."

"That's why I can't let you trample on their sacrifice."

Kua Ye grinned, revealing his white teeth, and slashed the Miao girl's neck with a knife.

Blood splattered all over Fu Qingzhou's back, but he didn't care at all. He slowly took off his shirt and walked into the Phoenix Blood Pool.

It was at this time that the battle line began to emerge from the woods and move towards this side.

After the first Miao girl rushed out, the second, third, fourth... more and more Miao killers also rushed out. Kua Ye picked up the knife and rushed forward again, and the "Xiyu Pavilion Killer" in the woods finally showed up.

This was a man, a very ordinary man at first glance, about twenty years old, dressed in red, holding a long sword as thin as an iron rod in his hand.

There was a lot of blood on his body and face, but the blood was not noticeable on his red clothes.

Fu Qingzhou just took a quick look and sat down in the Phoenix Blood Pool.

Since Hua Xiaolan and the others believed that Kua Ye and the Xiyu Pavilion killer were enough to deal with these Miao people, he chose to believe it temporarily.

What he had to do now was to cleanse the poison in the Phoenix Blood Pool and reveal the source of the curse... Even if Elder Ma would not heal him, perhaps Hua Xiaolan and the people behind her could?

The water in the Phoenix Blood Pool is very clear and light. It is not a real blood pool, but there is an inexplicable fragrance in the pool. The fragrance diffuses in the steaming heat, and just a sniff of it will make people feel calm and relaxed.

thump.

A Miao man fell at the edge of the Phoenix Blood Pool. The assassin from Xiyu Pavilion pierced his temple with a sword, leaving a deep bloody hole in his head. Thick blood mixed with yellow and white liquid slowly flowed out and flowed into the pool.

"Don't be by the pool!"

Seeing this, Kua Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "The Phoenix Blood Pool cannot be polluted!"

The assassin from Xiyu Pavilion looked calm and unconcerned: "I am only responsible for killing people."

He turned around and fought with several other Miao people.

Fu Qingzhou had no time to care about them. As his blood and energy gradually surged up in the hot spring, an inexplicable pain began to spread across his body.

Elder Ma had said before that after entering the Phoenix Blood Pool, one would first experience severe pain, and only after enduring that severe pain would the effect of the Phoenix Blood Pool truly manifest. At this moment, he could feel that the toxins left in Meng Zhugang's body had not been removed, but they had indeed been temporarily suppressed... but compared to the terrible pain brought by the pool, the toxins seemed to be nothing.

This kind of pain is like thousands of tiny blades cutting your skin and flesh, and repeatedly scratching the wound.

It is not deep, there is no "ten thousand ants eating the heart" or "all the internal organs are burning", but this kind of pain that seems to be on the surface is more unbearable. You always feel that you can make it disappear by wiping it with your hand or changing your posture, but not only does it not disappear, it becomes more and more intense.

Yes...it not only hurts, it also itches.

Severe pain and itching existed at the same time, creeping from the top of Fu Qingzhou's head to the soles of his feet, leaving no inch of his skin untouched!
"Fuck me!"

In less than ten breaths, Fu Qingzhou couldn't help but blurt out swear words with red eyes.

Unexpectedly, the smoker also uttered a curse word: "Fuck, this thing is good!"

"Don't you...look down on it?"

Fu Qingzhou gritted his teeth and responded in his mind.

It hurts so much... Talking can help distract me.

"Hey, hey, hey." The smoker laughed dryly, "It's better to experience it yourself than to just hear about it from others."

"What?" Fu Qingzhou asked while enduring the severe pain: "It, it can cure the curse?"

"That must be incurable!"

The smoker was full of confidence, and then his voice became vulgar again: "But I can teach you a set of methods to quietly absorb all the essence in this pool into your meridians!"

"This thing is the divine blood of the 'selflessness' realm. With this thing, you will be able to hang up that bastard elder and beat him up in two years at most!"

Fu Qingzhou's expression was slightly strange: "No me?"

"Leave it alone!"

The Smoker was impatient: "Anyway, you know it's awesome! How about we do it? The people in the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain won't find out!"

"No." Fu Qingzhou had almost no hesitation.

The smoker was furious: "Why! You've been busying around for them and are still suffering now, what's wrong with getting paid?"

"Why should I suffer here? Isn't it to break your spell?!" Fu Qingzhou retorted unceremoniously: "Besides, you and I are different."

"To put it mildly, once this behavior is discovered, the entire Wandu Mountain will tear me into pieces. It doesn't matter which side I stand on."

"To put it in a broader sense, this is the treasure of our sect, which can heal countless disciples. With such a large sect, I don't believe that no one has discovered its specialness since ancient times. But why do they keep it? Isn't it for the benefit of future generations?"

"Now that I'm here, I cut off their roots without saying anything. Then am I, Fu Qingzhou, still a human being?"

He sneered, "Taking something that belongs to someone else without permission is theft. I am an upright person and would never do such a thing!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how just and great!"

The smoker taunted, "They're using you as a pawn and plotting against you, and they're thinking about killing you and chopping you into minced meat. And you're still thinking about them?"

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "It is of course abominable that the elders and other traitors take human lives lightly, but I don't think there is anything wrong with Hua Xiaolan and the others treating me as a pawn."

"I am just a small hunter. Even though I have reached the third level of martial enlightenment, I am still a small fry in the eyes of a behemoth like the Ten Thousand Poison Mountain."

"They can cooperate with me because they see that I can still help. But if they respect me for no apparent reason, then they are sick."

"Only when I can show my ability to make them bow down to me, then... I will have the qualification to stop being a pawn."

He smiled casually: "In this case, why should I be angry? Why should I steal other people's sect treasures with malice and selfishness?"
