Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 515 - 519: Poison Can Kill, but It Can Also Save
"Negotiate peace?"
Nobody expected that after hearing the Maiden of the Sea’s words, Huang Siyu didn’t react, but instead it was Peng Ru, who had been unnoticed all along, stood up.
Carefully laying Wang Junze’s body flat on the ground, Peng Ru’s face showed a hint of madness and she said mockingly, "You’re all afraid of death, but I’m not. The young master is dead... why are you still alive?"
As she spoke, Peng Ru steadily gripped the Li Shang Sword and began to walk step by step towards the group.
With each step, Peng Ru’s aura seemed to rapidly rise, and the terrifying Sword Intent emanating from the Li Shang Sword made everyone’s expression change drastically.
Although she was only at the Refining Spirit level, the threat Peng Ru now posed was absolutely comparable to someone in the Divine Travel stage!
Of course, under normal circumstances, this level of strength wouldn’t be significant, and anyone could easily kill Peng Ru. But in this battle, everyone was seriously injured, making Peng Ru’s attack potentially deadly!
Even though, if they fought back desperately, Peng Ru most likely wouldn’t survive either.
However... everyone could see that Peng Ru wasn’t planning on surviving!
"Wait, Wang Junze is not dead yet!"
Just as Peng Ru was about to make a move, Huang Siyu suddenly spoke, "If you act now, he will surely die!"
"What did you say?"
In an instant, Peng Ru’s gaze sharply focused on Huang Siyu.
"I can use poison, so naturally, I can also save people."
Huang Siyu quickly explained, "You can see it too, Young Master Wang hasn’t stopped breathing. Without any aid, he might indeed not hold on, but... if I use poison to stimulate his vitality, there’s a chance to buy some time, and even make him temporarily wake up."
"Use poison?"
Hearing Huang Siyu’s words, not only Peng Ru, but the others also couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
Everyone knows that poison can kill, but can poison also save?
Moreover, Wang Junze is now so severely injured, it hardly seems like he can be saved.
Seeming to understand their thoughts, Huang Siyu explained again, "Yes, use poison! The essence of poison is also medicine! It may not bring him back, but it can at least buy some time."
"Don’t forget, there’s Qu Lishang!"
Huang Siyu continued, "As long as Qu Lishang wakes up, there might be a way to save his life, don’t forget... Qu Lishang is a Saint Realm Powerhouse, after all!"
These words instantly reignited a glimmer of hope in Peng Ru’s heart!
Indeed, no matter how severe Wang Junze’s injuries are, as long as there’s a breath left, there’s hope.
It’s just... will these people be willing to see the young master come back alive?
In an instant, a trace of killing intent appeared in Peng Ru’s eyes again.
She’s not afraid to die, if she could use her life to kill Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea, and gain a sliver of hope for Wang Junze, she would do it without hesitation.
Since Huang Siyu claims to have a way to sustain the young master’s life, she won’t interfere with her, and just kill Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea instead.
"I can guarantee, I won’t attack Brother Ye again."
The Maiden of the Sea’s expression slightly changed, and she quickly spoke, "If you must kill me, I will fight back desperately before I die. If I self-destruct, the mere shockwave from the energy impact will be enough to kill him, which you won’t be able to stop."
"Ultimately, you’re merely at the Refining Spirit level; the Divine Sword can help you kill, but it cannot help you save!"
These words undoubtedly hit Peng Ru’s weakness.
If Wang Junze dies, she can indeed fight desperately without concern, but since there’s still hope for Wang Junze to survive, she naturally prioritizes his safety.
"Let me try first, if Young Master Wang can wake up... let him decide what to do next!"
Huang Siyu spoke again.
After a moment of silence, Peng Ru finally did not oppose and stepped aside to make way.
Without further hesitation, Huang Siyu quickly walked to Wang Junze’s side and injected her body’s poison into him with a wave of her hand.
In an instant, Wang Junze’s body showed a touch of dark green. Strangely, as the poison flowed into him, his originally weak aura gradually stabilized.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Junze suddenly spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood and awoke from his coma.
In an instant, everyone’s attention immediately focused on Wang Junze.
"Young Master Wang, please don’t speak yet, listen to me."
Seeing Wang Junze awake, Huang Siyu quickly spoke, "Your Divine Soul and Essence Blood are greatly depleted, and your internal organs are severely injured. For now, I can only use the poison to stimulate your potential, temporarily waking you, but... your injuries haven’t healed, they’ll only worsen!"
"Now, everyone is seriously wounded, no one has the strength to strike at Li Shang Sword Venerable again, so... our idea is to temporarily reconcile, wait for Li Shang Sword Venerable to awaken, and see if we can save you."
After pausing, Huang Siyu continued, "Of course, if you insist on killing them, Peng Ru and I can fight to the death and see if we can kill them. However... the most likely outcome is, everyone will die here."
After quickly explaining the situation, Huang Siyu finally turned her gaze to Wang Junze, waiting for him to make a decision.
"I won’t die!"
After a moment of silence, Wang Junze finally spoke in a deep voice, "Maiden of the Sea, as you just said... so far, we’ve all done our best."
Mentioning this, Wang Junze forced a wry smile and continued, "I couldn’t kill you, and you couldn’t kill me... so let’s pretend none of this ever happened."
"Once Master Qu awakens, I’ll have him overlook what just happened!"
"As for whether we’re friends or foes after leaving here... we’ll decide then."
Having struggled back from the brink of death, Wang Junze naturally understood what the Maiden of the Sea and Yang Hong were truly worried about. After all, having attacked Qu Lishang, with Qu Lishang’s temperament, as long as he is not dead, he will surely retaliate.
Without this assurance, no matter how injured they are, they would still try to fight again. Since it concerns life and death, it’s not something that Huang Siyu and Peng Ru’s so-called truce can resolve.
But Wang Junze’s promise alone is enough to safeguard everyone’s lives.
This isn’t because Wang Junze is particularly soft-hearted, but under the current circumstances, if they don’t want mutual destruction, this is the best choice.
Previously they fought desperately to stop them from affecting Qu Lishang’s recovery!
But since they couldn’t kill the opponents, and the opponents also no longer have the ability to kill Qu Lishang, naturally, there was no need to continue the desperate fight.
