Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

Su Xin's gaze sharpened as he caught sight of two dark figures emerging from the shadows.

It was none other than the Two Elders of Xuanming.

Just as he was about to move, his vision blurred and a figure appeared out of thin air, its toes barely touching the dust, its body as light as a feather, steadily blocking the two elders' path.

That's Zhang Sanfeng.

His Wudang Ladder Cloud Leap technique allows him to tread through mist and ascend through clouds with near-ghostly speed.

Su Xin cursed inwardly.

He was the one who noticed it first, but Lao Zhang beat him to it.

He acknowledges everything else, but his lightness skill is his weakness in life, and judging from his current state, it will likely remain his weakness for the rest of his life.

He quickly caught up with them.

They had already exchanged blows in the arena.

Zhang Sanfeng extended a single palm, seemingly effortlessly, yet he deftly faced two opponents simultaneously, receiving the Xuanming Divine Palm strikes from Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng. A chilling aura surged, the yin energy piercing to the bone, yet the immortal's clothes remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.

Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for Zhang Sanfeng's presence, with his lightness skill, he might not have been able to stop those two old foxes.

Without further hesitation, he stepped forward and lightly pressed out a palm.

It was he who combined multiple martial arts techniques to create the killing move.

Corrosion of steel!

The palm strike appears gentle, but it conceals eight layers of interwoven force. Between the palm strikes, a faint, sweet and pungent smell quietly permeates the air, a sinister force formed by the fusion of Vajra Divine Power and the Five Poisons Mixed Force.

After striking with his palm, Su Xin instantly transformed his palm into his fingers, pressing his index and middle fingers together. His inner force was highly condensed, transforming into an extremely sharp finger gust that shot through the air.

The finger strike possessed both the indestructible power of the Vajra Finger and the bone-corroding, flesh-rotting power of the Thousand Spider Venom Hand, striking Lu Zhangke's shoulder with a single finger.

A patch of darkness instantly appeared beneath his clothes, spreading out at a visible speed.

This can be made colorless, odorless, and without leaving a trace.

But since he had something to ask for, he naturally wanted the other party to see it clearly and know how potent the poison was.

Lu Zhangke trembled all over, a bone-chilling weakness instantly swept over his body, his internal energy circulation stalled, and his expression changed drastically.

Upon seeing this, Hebi Weng was shocked and enraged. He immediately tried to pounce on Su Xin, capture him, and force him to reveal the antidote.

Instead of retreating, Su Xin advanced and unleashed a powerful punch—the mighty Vajra Fist.

The punch was powerful and fierce, concealing lingering poison. He Biweng felt a chill in his heart and dared not take it head-on.

He dared not forget that there was a terrestrial deity beside him.

A glance out of the corner of his eye fell on Zhang Sanfeng's indifferent expression, and a chill ran through him. He dared not linger in the fight any longer, gritted his teeth, grabbed Lu Zhangke, and leaped away.

Su Xin looked in the direction the two had fled and shouted:

"You only have three days. After three days, the poison will have seeped into your bones, and there will be no cure."

He Biweng paused, his face instantly turning ashen.

Such a domineering and vicious poison far exceeded his expectations.

The spreading black spots on Lu Zhangke's shoulder left him no choice but to believe it.

We must back down from this matter for now and reconsider our options.

The two men disappeared into the distance after a few leaps.

Su Xin withdrew his gaze and looked to the side.

Zhang Wuji had already collapsed to the ground, unconscious, with a faint bluish-black aura appearing on his face.

The Mysterious Dark Palm has already struck him.

Zhang Sanfeng frowned, his aura heavy and composed, no longer having time to pursue the Xuanming Elders.

Su Xin glanced at the child and thought to himself indifferently.

It seems you can't escape this calamity after all.

Su Xin's gaze fell on the unconscious Zhang Wuji, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, which he pondered to himself:

The Xuanming Cold Poison on this child is chilling and domineering. Could it become the opportunity for Yin Li to break through?

After all, Yin Li's Nine Yang Divine Skill was just one step away from being activated by the Yin-cold internal energy inside the Qiankun Bag.

He himself is not proficient in Yin-cold internal energy, Cheng Kun is dead, and the only two elders of Xuanming who can unleash top-level Yin-cold internal energy have been poisoned by him, so they certainly will not obediently come to help.

He turned to look at Zhang Sanfeng beside him, whose face was solemn. He saw that the founder of Wudang was slowly bending down and carefully lifting Zhang Wuji's clothes.

All eyes turned to him, and there was a dark blue palm print on Zhang Wuji's chest. The palm lines were clear, and a chilling aura emanated from his body. It was the mark of the Xuanming Divine Palm.

That was Zhang Sanfeng's old rival, Bai Sun Dao Ren's unique skill, which was cold and domineering. Those who were hit by it had no cure and could only suppress it with their profound internal strength.

Zhang Sanfeng's expression was solemn. A layer of warm internal energy emanated from his palm and slowly covered Zhang Wuji's chest. The profound and long-lasting internal energy flowed into Zhang Wuji's body like water, stabilizing the churning cold poison within him and slowing the spread of the poison.

His fingertips twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly. He had clearly sensed the domineering nature of the Xuanming Cold Poison. Even with his cultivation level, he could only temporarily stabilize his injuries and could not completely eradicate it.

Su Xin stood aside, watching this scene, and sighed inwardly.

It seems my hopes of sparring with Zhang Sanfeng today will likely be dashed.

He had originally thought that once he had dealt with the Xuanming Elders, he would be able to have a good match with this martial arts legend. However, he did not expect that Zhang Wuji would suddenly be hit by the Xuanming Divine Palm. Zhang Sanfeng put all his thoughts into saving his disciple.

Su Xin couldn't help but mutter to himself: These two Xuanming elders are too unscrupulous. Shouldn't they be exchanging blows with Zhang Sanfeng on the spot? Why did they send Zhang Wuji over looking like he was about to die?

A perfectly good opportunity for a friendly competition has been ruined.

Despite his inner grumbling, his gaze fell once again on the cold poison on Zhang Wuji's chest, and an even bolder idea flashed through his mind.

If he were to break through to the fifth level of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand technique, the mystery of this level would be that he could completely control the poisons, making them no longer just simple killing weapons, but instead transforming them into a controllable "qi".

If this poisonous "gas" is compressed into the fingertip and precisely inserted into an acupoint, it can instantly kill someone by sealing their throat. It can also be used to fight poison with poison, forcing out stubborn diseases from the body of others.

Zhang Wuji's body contains the Xuanming Cold Poison, which is extremely cold and piercing. If he were to activate the fire poison of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, and use the yang fire poison to counteract the cold and yin Xuanming Cold Poison, would he be able to force this domineering cold poison out of his body?

More importantly, the fire poison is mixed with his own internal energy, so he can control the strength of the poison at any time, and even withdraw the fire poison at critical moments to avoid harming Zhang Wuji's life.

But as soon as the thought popped into his head, he suppressed it.

The risks involved were simply too great. Although he had mastered the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and his ability to control his internal energy had improved considerably, he was still still lacking in skill.

If one is not careful and the fire poison is over-activated, not only will it fail to expel the Xuanming Cold Poison, but it will also burn Zhang Wuji's meridians and damage his internal organs. At that time, even Zhang Sanfeng may not be able to save him.

On one hand, there was an opportunity to save lives; on the other, there were risks that were difficult to control. Su Xin stood there, his brows furrowed, caught in a deep dilemma, his fingers unconsciously fidgeting as he weighed the pros and cons repeatedly.
