117: A draw!

At this moment, on the deck of the dragon boat.

The Demonic Cultivators and the Cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect were being firmly suppressed by the Dragon Boat Guards and the Loose Cultivators.

However, just when they thought victory was within their grasp.

A Cultivator from the Five Poisons Sect took out a Medicinal Pill and suddenly crushed it.

A cloud of black smoke billowed out.

In an instant, the two Loose Cultivators closest to them collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Seeing this scene,

the others felt their confident mindset shift slightly.

"Oh no, it's poison!"

"Do Demonic Cultivators also excel at using poison?"

"Demonic Cultivators commit all sorts of evil; using poison must be one of the Domains they specialize in!"

Right then,

Liu Ruyan was the first to step out from among the guards.

Her gaze was fixed intently on the dozens of enemies ahead.

She said coldly, "Everyone, don't panic! They are merely in their death throes!"

"Jie jie, even if it's a death struggle, we'll take a few of you down with us!"

As soon as one of the Demonic Cultivators finished speaking, he charged straight at Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan gripped her Longsword and delivered a sudden slash!

She cleaved the Demonic Cultivator in front of her in two.

But before she could rejoice, someone shouted from behind, "Liu Ruyan, behind you! Behind you!"

She turned around to see two Demonic Cultivators had appeared on her left and right at some point, swinging at her almost simultaneously.

It was too late to dodge.

If she blocked, she could only block one side!

At that moment, Liu Ruyan's scalp tingled with fear.

A sense of crisis welled up within her!

What should she do now?

No matter what she did, there was a risk of being killed.

What should she do?

Seeing the two Demonic Cultivators inches away,

suddenly, a voice reached her ears.

"You take the left, I'll take the right!"

Liu Ruyan instinctively slashed at the Demonic Cultivator on the left.

At the same time,

a figure also blocked the Demonic Cultivator on the right.

Boom!

Both Demonic Cultivators were blocked simultaneously!

They both retreated dozens of steps.

At this moment, a laugh rang out.

"No wonder Brother Chen looks down on the daughters of great families; it turns out there's a fine gem right here, making them seem like mere rubble in comparison!"

Regarding Drunken Wu's teasing,

Chen Xian only gave a slight smile.

He looked at Liu Ruyan, who was still standing there.

"Are you alright?"

The moment Liu Ruyan saw Chen Xian, she was completely stunned.

If her previous feelings for Chen Xian were guilt, confusion, misunderstanding, and unspoken love,

then now, Liu Ruyan could be certain that this complex emotion could be summarized in one word: like!

She liked, she had fallen in love with the man before her.

However, the sounds of slaughter on the deck quickly pulled Liu Ruyan back to reality.

"Chen Xian, you two hide quickly! These Demonic Cultivators have gone mad; they're trying to trade their lives for yours!"

If they knew Chen Xian's identity,

they would surely charge forward regardless of the cost.

After all, their goal was to create even greater and more widespread chaos.

Chen Xian said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing! You go back first!"

"It's too dangerous here!"

"I..."

Liu Ruyan wanted to say more, but Chen Xian placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Be good!"

As soon as he said this,

Liu Ruyan felt her heart, which had been frozen for over twenty years, begin to melt.

At this moment, she felt she had a thousand words she wanted to say to Chen Xian.

But it truly wasn't the right time.

Meanwhile, Chen Xian and Drunken Wu had already charged toward the incoming Demonic Cultivators.

The two of them took them out one by one.

The Demonic Cultivators in front of them didn't even have a chance to self-detonate.

Seeing this, the Disciples of the Five Poisons Sect...

their expressions became incredibly gloomy. They were assisting the Demonic Cultivators in creating chaos solely for the benefit of their own Sect.

They wanted to capture several Cultivators with decent strength on this dragon boat to refine into Five Poisons Corpses!

But they hadn't expected that not only would they fail to capture many, but they would also lose quite a few of their own people.

"We're retreating!"

The leading Disciple of the Five Poisons Sect said coldly.

However, at that moment,

a dark figure behind them said icily, "Retreat? If we retreat like this, where will our Sect's face be!"

"These two have decent strength; capture them!"

When the Five Poisons Sect Disciples saw their Elder arrive,

though they looked helpless, they still charged forward.

"Brother Wu, a bunch of small fry and one big fish—which do you choose?"

"Brother Chen, I'll take care of the big fish, and you handle the small fry. Whoever finishes first wins, how about it?"

"Sounds good!"

After finishing their discussion, the two of them changed directions.

Chen Xian drew his sword and struck at the charging Five Poisons Sect Disciples.

The majestic Sword Qi instantly pierced through seven or eight people,

cleaving them directly in two.

"Fine swordsmanship!"

Drunken Wu shouted in praise as he saw this.

The Five Poisons Sect Elder's eyes turned sinister as he charged toward Chen Xian.

But he was firmly blocked by Drunken Wu.

"Hold on, your opponent is me!"

Drunken Wu said with a faint smile.

"Courting death!"

Poisonous gas emanated from the Five Poisons Sect Elder, but it was quickly suppressed by Drunken Wu's alcoholic breath.

Two powerful auras tore at each other in mid-air.

Seeing this, Chen Xian was equally surprised.

It seemed Drunken Wu's strength was even greater than he had imagined.

He couldn't discern the other's exact strength, but he could feel that Drunken Wu didn't take this Five Poisons Sect Elder seriously.

He was even completely unfazed.

Despite them calling each other "brother" now,

both sides were testing each other,

to see exactly how many trump cards the other held.

Currently, the Alcoholic Qi from Drunken Wu's body was a peculiar form of attack.

It left Chen Xian in awe.

Just then, a voice came from the side.

"You've shown a weakness!"

Shua!

A Five Poisons Sect Disciple appeared before Chen Xian.

He threw a punch at Chen Xian.

Black poisonous gas swirled around his fist.

Chen Xian was struck by the punch and retreated two steps.

"Hahahaha, I've finished one off!"

The Five Poisons Sect Disciple said excitedly.

Having taken one out, he would surely be praised by the Sect upon his return.

But in the next second,

a beam of Sword Qi pierced through his heart.

Chen Xian shook his head and said, "Sigh, you've spoken too soon!"

"If you want to kill me, try in your next life!"

The Five Poisons Sect Disciple looked terrified; his final words before death were: "Why... why is the Five Poisons Powder useless against you?"

Chen Xian snorted in disdain.

The Five Poisons Sect—others might turn pale at the mere mention of it.

Because those who use poison are incredibly ruthless and hard to guard against.

But for him,

it was completely ineffective.

After all, with the Immaculate Sacred Body stacked with the Invincible Sword Body,

both Physiques had the effect of making him immune to all poisons, so this person using Five Poisons Powder in front of him was no different from showing off his blade skills in front of Guan Gong.

Chen Xian leisurely took out dozens of Five Poisons Sect Disciples.

On the other side, Drunken Wu had also finished his battle.

Although the Five Poisons Sect Elder didn't die, he was heavily injured and vanished into the night.

Chen Xian and Drunken Wu looked at each other and smiled.

"This round, let's call it a draw for now!"
