Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 90, My Venom is No Ordinary One!

Since regular fighting techniques will be absorbed, there's no need for ranged fighting techniques; let's just engage in close combat!

This way, Ning Su won't have the opportunity to absorb the attack.

Thinking of this, Elder Mugu immediately took action, his figure transforming into a dark shadow that flashed out quickly, instantly arriving in front of Ning Su and striking out with a palm.

His method is indeed effective.

Ning Su indeed couldn't devour such close-range attacks; he could only respond.

"He discovered my devouring ability so quickly and figured out a way to deal with it? This guy truly lives up to his title of Dou Zun."

Faced with Elder Mugu's close-quarters combat, Ning Su could only dodge and evade his attacks.

Sometimes he had no choice but to confront things head-on, and he was forced to retreat repeatedly.

With his current cultivation level, it would indeed be difficult for him to go head-to-head with a three-star Dou Zun.

"A Dou Zong is still just a Dou Zong. To think you can contend with the true form with such crooked and unorthodox methods is utterly delusional!"

Elder Mu Gu decisively intensified his offensive, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce and ruthless.

"Soul-Sucking Palm!"

He seized the opportunity and decisively slapped Ning Su on the head with great speed and force.

If you get hit by this palm strike, you'll be crippled even if you don't die!

At the critical moment, a burst of colorful light suddenly erupted from Ning Su's body.

The next moment, his upper body transformed into a snake's head, which quickly stretched its neck and nimbly dodged Elder Mu Gu's palm strike.

Old Man Mu Gu was completely dumbfounded.

Wait, we were having a perfectly normal fight, and suddenly the opponent turned into a snake's head? What's going on?

Taking advantage of the moment he was stunned, Ning Su opened her mouth and bit down precisely on the neck of Elder Mu Gu.

The venom was quickly injected into the body of the old man, Mu Gu.

"Damn it!"

Elder Mugu immediately realized what was happening and quickly unleashed his power to blast Ning Su away.

Ning quickly transformed back into human form, remaining calm and composed.

Elder Mu Gu's expression instantly changed: "Poison? I never expected you to be so despicable!"

"Isn't it normal to use clever tactics when the weak are outmaneuvered?"

Elder Mu Gu decisively took out an antidote pill from his storage ring and swallowed it, attempting to neutralize the snake venom in his body.

The medicine did alleviate his pain slightly, but most of the venom remained stubbornly in his body.

"My snake venom isn't so easy to neutralize. I advise you to run away quickly; you might still have a chance to fight back."

"Otherwise... once the poison takes effect and they die, even a god can't save them."

Ning Su's snake venom is the culmination of all the poisons in the world.

In addition to his own snake venom, he also ingested various centipede venom, toad venom, frog venom, lizard venom, and so on.

There are also two of the most deadly toxins—a portion of the Calamity Poison Gas obtained from Little Fairy Doctor, and the deadly poison inherent in the Netherworld Poison Fire itself.

These two highly toxic substances are the truly deadly ones.

One wrong move and your life could be in danger!

Ordinary detoxifying pills are generally ineffective.

"Don't try to scare me. I'm an eighth-grade alchemist. What kind of poison haven't I seen?!"

The old man Mu Gu snorted coldly, then took out a sixth-grade and a seventh-grade antidote pill from his storage ring and swallowed them.

The seventh-grade antidote is basically the highest-grade antidote, capable of neutralizing the vast majority of toxins in the world.

For more potent toxins, or even stronger ones, it is necessary to specially prepare antidotes based on the specific type of toxin.

Elder Mu Gu couldn't believe that Ning Su's venom was so potent that even a seventh-grade antidote couldn't cure it!

"You can try it, but you don't have much time left," Ning Su said with a smile.

He's not the one who should be worried.

After taking two detoxifying pills, the symptoms of toxins in the body still did not improve.

This made Elder Mu Gu immediately feel that something was amiss.

This guy's venom is so potent that even a seventh-grade antidote can't cure it?!

He could even feel the venom invading his meridians, sending waves of burning pain through him.

This is bad, very bad!

Although the old man Mu Gu was arrogant, he was not blindly conceited.

He can still tell what the current situation is.

The venom Ning Su left in his body... was ridiculously potent.

If we don't find a way to suppress it and keep wasting time here, we might really die!

You'll die!

For a moment, the fear of death enveloped the old man Mu Gu's heart.

"Han Feng, retreat!"

Without further hesitation, he shouted at Han Feng beside him, then decisively turned and flew outside.

Han Feng didn't even know what had happened before he saw Elder Mu Gu fly away alone.

Depend on!

Why did you just run away like that?!

You don't want the strange fire anymore?

Xiao Yan isn't going to kill him?

Han Feng was practically cursing under his breath.

But reason told him that he had to retreat.

Even Elder Mugu has left, leaving only these people. If they don't leave now, they won't be able to leave at all.

The latest novel is first published here!

"withdraw!"

Finally, Han Feng gave the order and led all the powerful figures of the Black Corner Region away.

Ning did not pursue them.

Although he successfully forced Elder Mu Gu to retreat.

However, if they chased after him and forced Elder Mugu into a life-or-death struggle, the dying counterattack of a three-star Dou Zun was no joke, and someone could die in a matter of minutes.

Since he already has the Fallen Heart Flame, there's no need to take such a big risk.

Moreover, Elder Mugu might not be able to neutralize Ning Su's poison; he might even die from the poison after returning home.

Su Qian and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the crisis was eventually resolved.

To be honest, if Ning Su hadn't appeared, they would definitely have been defeated by Elder Mu Gu and Han Feng in the end.

They had absolutely no chance against a Dou Zun level expert.

……

"I am Su Qian, the Grand Elder of Canaan Academy. Thank you for your help." Su Qian approached Ning Su and bowed.

If it weren't for Ning's lawsuit, the outcome would probably have been very different.

"You're welcome, I've already accepted the gift."

The gift of gratitude was, naturally, the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Um...may I ask you, sir, have you truly absorbed the strange fire?"

"What, you want me to throw up? Don't even think about it." Ning Su saw through Su Qian's thoughts at a glance.

But what he got his hands on was absolutely impossible to get back.

"Your Excellency, this strange fire is the foundation of our academy. If you are willing to return it, our academy is willing to exchange it for something else," Su Qian said sincerely.

The Fallen Heart Flame is the foundation of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Without the Fallen Heart Flame, the Heavenly Refining Tower would be useless.

"I've already fused with the strange fire, so I can't take it out."

"However, I can spare a small flame for you to maintain the function of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Of course, even if it's just a small flame, you'll have to exchange something for it."

"I did save your academy, so it wouldn't be right not to give you some kind of thank-you gift," Ning Su said with a friendly smile.

Su Qian's lips twitched, but she was helpless.

"Alright, as long as you're willing to leave behind even a single spark, we can still offer you compensation."

Let it be Zi Fire; it's better to have it than not.
