Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 90: Do You Dare to Eat It?

Ye Tianling said calmly, "I found out a long time ago. In fact, I intentionally told you many of my secrets, and as it turned out, you told everything to Ye Cangqian. Should I thank you, or should I thank you? I was originally planning to give that trump card to Ye Qingfeng. I knew that with you by my side, I wouldn’t be in any danger before meeting him, which is why I came out of seclusion.

As it turned out, I didn’t expect that old thing, Guan Cangyun, to be so impatient."

As Ye Tianling spoke, he continued, "For the time being, you will stay by my side as my servant and guard. I’ll give you a bit of the antidote periodically. This controlling poison I planted in you... no one in this world can possibly cure it."

Ouyang Ruoxue clearly didn’t believe him. A look of scornful mockery surfaced on her face.

Ye Tianling paid it no mind. "This poison, this power... they are of my own creation, completely incompatible with every Cultivation Technique in this world! Whether you believe me or not is irrelevant. I won’t make things difficult for you for the time being. I’ll let you leave, but you’ll be back for me soon enough."

As he spoke, Ye Tianling channeled a stream of True Essence Power, transforming it into the Fiery Sun Power from his Nine Yang Divine Skill. He sent it surging into Ouyang Ruoxue’s Twelve Main Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians, temporarily neutralizing some of the power from the Life and Death Talisman.

At the same time, however, he drove another portion of the Life and Death Talisman’s power back into her.

Through this repeated process, the power of the Life and Death Talisman within Ouyang Ruoxue’s body would continuously grow stronger.

Furthermore, Ye Tianling’s Cultivation Technique possessed the traits of the North Nether Divine Skill. As a result, as long as any Energy came into contact with the Life and Death Talisman, the talisman could continuously grow stronger through Devouring.

If Ouyang Ruoxue tried to expel the Life and Death Talisman herself, the results would be predictably tragic; her suffering would only intensify.

Ouyang Ruoxue clearly didn’t believe him.

However, now that she could move again and the pain had subsided, her gaze locked onto Ye Tianling, the killing intent in her heart palpable.

Ye Tianling had temporarily lost his Soul Talent, but he could still sense her hatred. He couldn’t help but sneer, "It seems you’re one of those people who won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin."

Ouyang Ruoxue’s heart clenched, but just then, Ye Tianling suddenly activated the Life and Death Talisman once more.

"AARGH—"

A wave of even greater pain washed over her, tormenting her body and soul. A bone-deep chill spread through Ouyang Ruoxue, and she began to shiver violently.

The intensified agony, like being gnawed upon by ten thousand snakes and insects, was so unbearable that she began to writhe on the ground.

As she thrashed about, her clothes were thrown into disarray, revealing tantalizing glimpses of skin.

Ye Tianling hadn’t had any lecherous thoughts at first, but now his mind suddenly began to stir.

"Rat, step aside. Your master is going to teach this insolent little girl a proper lesson."

Que Xinyan had been watching with schadenfreude. Hearing Ye Tianling’s words, a look of profound understanding instantly lit up his dark, chubby face.

"As expected of Master! This Disciple is in absolute awe!"

Que Xinyan said with the utmost respect. He then took out three Earth Tier, Upper Grade Creation Pills. "Please, Master, take your time."

He could naturally see that Ye Tianling was currently quite weak. Fearing that another... strenuous session... would affect his master’s recovery, he took out the three Earth Tier, Upper Grade Creation Pills he had just acquired.

"You had more Creation Pills? You damned rat, why didn’t you take them out sooner!"

"Exotic Treasures still fly out of that old thing Que De’s tomb from time to time. These Elixirs were among them, so I, Lord Que, have to keep guarding it. Master, do you need me to stand guard? Don’t worry, no one will come and disturb your fun."

Ye Tianling shook his head. "I have the Turtle Breath Technique and the Disguise Technique, so I have nothing to worry about. I’ll just use an Array to set up a Barrier in a bit. You can scram."

Que Xinyan nodded. "Take care, Master."

With that, he transformed into a streak of light and departed.

Que Xinyan was no longer truly worried about Ye Tianling. After cultivating the Little Faceless Technique, he had come to deeply understand Ye Tianling’s ’power,’ to the point of near-blind worship.

Combined with the power of the Disguise Technique and the Concealment Ability of the Turtle Breath Technique, as long as Ye Tianling used these methods, it would be virtually impossible for anyone to discover his identity.

If he stayed by Ye Tianling’s side, his ’rat’ aura could eventually leak out, which would instead make it easier to expose his master’s identity.

Once Que Xinyan was gone, Ye Tianling used his True Essence Power to seal nearly all of Ouyang Ruoxue’s acupoints.

Next, using his True Essence in place of Sword Essence for Sword Control, Ye Tianling flew off with the now almost completely ’crippled’ Ouyang Ruoxue to another valley.

There, Ye Tianling used several hundred Profound Crystal Stones to lay out a Chaotic Stone Array, then layered a Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation on top of it, shrouding the entire valley.

The valley’s natural terrain, combined with the Chaotic Stone Array and the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation, and further empowered by layers of Profound Crystal Stones, produced a surprisingly effective result.

Ouyang Ruoxue knew what was coming. Her pretty face was deathly pale. To her, Ye Tianling’s method of setting up the ’Array’ seemed laughably crude, but once the Array was complete, her eyes filled with profound shock.

Ye Tianling tossed Ouyang Ruoxue onto the ground, then took out an Earth Tier, Upper Grade Creation Pill and began cultivating to recover his strength.

This type of Elixir had astonishing effects, but for Ye Tianling, who had just broken through two layers of the Dragon Blood Region and whose own Dragon Blood had run dry, it had almost no effect at all.

Ye Tianling frowned. Ouyang Ruoxue, meanwhile, fixed her beautiful eyes on his every move, as if trying to see through to all his secrets.

’Creation Pills like that... and he’s just gobbling them down? Can his body even handle it? He already ate two of an even higher grade before. He’s probably going to explode from the energy!’

She had already tried several times to circulate her Sword Essence Power, but to no avail.

It was as if some bizarre form of Imprisonment was firmly shackling her power.

With her power shackled, she was like a common mortal, stripped of all her Battle Power. At the same time, however, the piercing, icy pain and the feeling of being gnawed on by countless venomous insects also vanished.

Ye Tianling consumed another Elixir. His eyes were slightly bloodshot as he shot Ouyang Ruoxue a cold, savage glance before continuing his Cultivation.

About a dozen breaths later, the Elixir’s effects were spent, yet the two layers of his Dragon Blood Region remained barren.

Because his Dragon Blood had run dry, Ye Tianling had lost his connection to the Dragon Blood Treasure Tower Celestial Ladder and his Sword Soul. His Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique was also completely useless.

Growing frustrated, Ye Tianling took the last Elixir, but it had virtually no effect.

The wound between his brows had healed completely, and his physical body was brimming with vitality. His True Essence was even stronger than before. Yet, his Sword Essence Power and other such energies were utterly depleted.

The Creation Pills had stimulated his body, and as their medicinal power was refined, his physical vitality surged. His entire body felt like it was on fire.

His eyes had turned completely blood-red.

"Do you have any Elixirs?"

"I do," Ouyang Ruoxue sneered. "But would you dare take them? I’ll poison you to death!"

A cold, mocking sneer appeared on Ye Tianling’s face. "Excellent."

As he spoke, he walked over, drew his Fiery Sun Sword, and thrust it toward Ouyang Ruoxue.
