Chapter 163 Trial Realm (2)
Gu Yuchuan had now cultivated the Scale Armor Technique, a physical cultivation method that made his body incredibly strong. This full-force collision rendered the tiger completely incapacitated. However, this wasn't true death. The tiger then laughed.
“Master Gu is indeed formidable. I humbly admit defeat. I am a Xuanhu Demon General from the outer perimeter of Yunhai Marsh. Perhaps we can get to know each other outside sometime. I will treat Master Gu to a drink then. Master, please make your move. This part is all yours.”
Gu Yuchuan nodded. He admired Gu Yuchuan's magnanimity. After all, although they were fighting for their lives, they wouldn't actually die, so there was no chance of developing any grudges. "Alright, then I won't hold back."
Suddenly, a purple poisoned arrow shot towards the tiger from not far away.
Gu Yuchuan's eyes suddenly turned cold. He had fought for so long, ready to reap this point. If this person snatched it away, wouldn't he be at a huge loss? He unleashed a golden light to block the poison arrow. The Golden Light Spell had a strong restraining effect on this kind of obviously unevil magic.
When the frog realized it had missed its target, it immediately jumped up and started to run away.
The tiger roared, "Kill him quickly, I'm after him!"
He had considered taking this opportunity to escape, but his injuries were too severe. Even if he ran, he would not survive. He might as well do Gu Yuchuan a favor here, in case he needed it later. Gu Yuchuan shot him through his body, and his body turned into dust. A green pill appeared on the ground.
"The Mind-Clearing Pill instantly restores 30% of a cultivator's mana."
It was also the tiger's bad luck; if it had obtained a healing pill, it would have had a chance to escape after consuming it. After killing it, Gu Yuchuan's points on his jade token increased to two, and he quickly chased after the direction the frog had run.
This frog is the Xuan Yin Five Poison Frog, a mid-grade spirit beast from the inner region of Yunhai Marsh. However, its cultivation level is only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. It originally planned to reap the benefits of Gu Yuchuan's strength, but after discovering Gu Yuchuan's power, it could only try to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Now that it has failed, it can only run away. Fortunately, it has a secret technique for escaping.
A purple light flashed across his body. He moved incredibly fast, but Gu Yuchuan was just as fast behind him, and the distance between them was slowly closing.
Now, the frog was a little scared. Having just witnessed Gu Yuchuan's power, it naturally dared not make any unusual moves.
"Azure Scale Demon General, I know I was wrong. I didn't manage to steal any of your points either. We'll meet again when we go out in the future, so why did you have to make things so awkward?"
Gu Yuchuan hated this kind of person the most: "What you're saying is enough. I can go out and hunt you down. The Demon Lord spent so many resources to create this illusory space so that we could forget our identities in the outside world and truly determine the winner based on our strength. Yet you say this. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with your mind. Prepare to die."
Gu Yuchuan chased after him, throwing his spear. Although the spear didn't hit him, it landed in front of him. Gu Yuchuan made a hand seal, and a blue magical force blocked his path.
Unarmed, Gu Yuchuan transformed into his true form, his twenty-meter-long body brimming with power. He swiftly coiled around the frog, using the python's most common hunting methods, which Gu Yuchuan himself also knew; he wasn't just a magician.
He slowly tightened his grip, wrapping himself tightly around the frog, until it could no longer breathe.
"You've treated me like this, I'll definitely not let you get away with this once I get out of here."
Gu Yuchuan was never afraid of such threats: "Fine, after I get out and pass through the Dragon Gate, my strength and bloodline will be enhanced again. When you see me, it will be like seeing a god. So what if you have a demon king behind you? Who would offend a prodigy for the sake of their subordinates? You are a fool, but the demon king behind you is not. Even if he really is, I can't afford to offend a demon king. Alright, prepare to die."
Clearly, this frog didn't want to die. It was a mid-grade spirit beast, and it desperately wanted to use this opportunity to become stronger. It had only been inside for an hour, and it couldn't afford to die here.
His body surface was covered in venom, which he used to escape his predicament. However, using poison against Gu Yuchuan was indeed a bit presumptuous, as Gu Yuchuan was a master of poison when he was weak.
His own toxicity is considerable, and his poison resistance is also very strong. Even if he were to withstand this poison head-on, he wouldn't have any problems for a while. Moreover, there are two layers of protection on the surface of his skin. The first layer is the scale armor technique he just mastered. The scale armor's defense is now very strong, and it can withstand both physical and magical attacks. This mere poison is nothing to worry about.
Secondly, there's the Golden Light Mantra. Its defensive power is self-evident; it also has an elemental advantage against poisons, making it impossible for poisons to penetrate its defenses.
The poison couldn't penetrate any of his triple defenses, so it wouldn't cause Gu Yuchuan any harm. His hopes for escaping were dashed, and he couldn't even use a single one of his methods.
Gu Yuchuan slowly exerted force, and the frog felt its physical body slowly collapsing. It was filled with regret, wishing it hadn't been so greedy. It had great confidence in its hiding method, and if it hadn't gone out on its own initiative, it certainly wouldn't have died there.
However, regret is useless now. His fate is already sealed. Not long after, he died under Gu Yuchuan's death entanglement. Gu Yuchuan is now at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Killing a cultivator with a lower cultivation level than himself is really easy. If it weren't for such an instant kill, how could the Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation have such a great reputation? This frog can't even beat the Ink Scale Demon General.
After the frog died, its body turned into dust, and a blue talisman appeared underneath. It was blue, which made Gu Yuchuan very happy. His blue spear was powerful, and this talisman should be no weaker.
"Weakening Talisman. It can reduce the enemy's physical strength by 20%. Each talisman can only be used once."
This is a real treasure! Two equally matched opponents can suddenly have their battle turn around when one of them uses this talisman. In a sense, it can even influence the battle more than a spear.
The frog just now didn't work because the gap between them was too big; it wouldn't have been effective anyway. Of course, the bigger reason was that Gu Yuchuan had restrained him, so he couldn't activate the talisman at all.
At this moment, his score on his jade token reached three points. He was overjoyed; he was determined to get a good ranking. He was determined to seize this opportunity to enter the Dragon Gate.
