"How can you use a despicable method, if you have guts then face us head-on!" Mason gritted his teeth and said.
"No matter what method it is, won't it be fine as long as I can win? Why should I care about other things? The poison, Merry Breeze, is colorless and tasteless. It is refined from hundreds of different kinds of poisonous spiritual herbs. A single drop of this poison is worth ten High-Grade Spirit Stones. Today, I had to use a large portion of this poison on you guys. I'll get this sum of money back from you." Antonio said with a laugh.
Even Loren's men started to fall to the ground one by one. Those who could still stand on the ground were all Origin Sea Stage martial warriors Level 5 and above. All of a sudden, the number of people on both sides had gone from a vast difference to a very similar level (Mason's + Loren's men = Antonio's men).
"Walter, I, am completely powerless!"
Kane was an Origin Sea Stage Level 2 martial warrior, so she was poisoned as well. The white foam had already appeared at the corner of her mouth. As for Walter and Susie, they were both Origin Sea Stage Level 5, so they were fine for the time being.
"Quick, consume this Poison Dispelling Pill."
Walter hurriedly stuffed a medicinal pill into her mouth, but it was completely useless. Kane still gradually entered into a dizzy state.
On the flying ship, other than Morcus, the other nine Deacon elders' expressions changed slightly.
"Morcus, your nephew is planning to catch all of them in one fell swoop? If this continues, we can only receive a few dozen people in this disciple selection." Sorya said coldly.
"What's the hurry? There are still many unaffiliated people outside the Scarlet Flame Valley. Adding them in, we can easily choose a thousand people." Morcus sneered and replied in a cold voice.
"Elder Boman, what do you think?" Ashneer looked at the second strongest deacon elder and asked, wanting to see his reaction.
Boman, the second strongest Deacon Elder, said indifferently, "No matter what, we can't interfere in the disciple selection. The sect rules didn't say that poison can't be used. So, let him go."
After saying that, he glanced at Morcus. Everyone could see the dissatisfaction in his eyes. But Morcus pretended not to see. He smiled slightly and focused his attention on Antonio.
"So it's Merry Breeze. No wonder even I didn't notice it. You are really willing to spend money like water in order to get rid of all of us in one fell swoop!" Mason said with a cold smile.
To be able to poison so many people, the value of Merry Breeze that Antonio used should be several thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. This amount is not low at all. In fact, it is an astronomical amount of wealth considering that one High-Grade Spirit Stone is equal to 10,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Antonio, do you really want to do this? Can't we all become disciples of the Profound Star Sect at the same time?" Loren also gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Hehehe, you think too much. I won't allow anyone to compete with me for the Inner Sect disciple quota. You know among the thousand chosen disciples, only one person can enter the Inner Sect. Also, you should be clear why we want to enter the Profound Star Sect so much even though Profound Star Sect is only a Second Rate Force while we can easily enter any First Rate Force with our current strength."
Then he shifted his gaze to look at Mason and again said: "Had you agreed to fight Loren with me today, I might have let you enter the Profound Star Sect. Unfortunately, you chose otherwise. You can't blame me for your current situation."
Saying this, he once again shifted his gaze but this time, he looked at his companion and said: "Abhinav!"
"Yes!" Abhinav nodded as an evil grin appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the people behind him and said: "Let's Go, kill them all!"
Just as a huge battle was about to break out between the two parties, suddenly, the sky changed as it started raining.
"This is..."
Antonio frowned slightly and looked up. He saw that the sun was shining brightly in the sky. There was not even a single cloud. Where did the rain come from?
He could not help but reach out and take a drop. He put it in his mouth and licked it. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This is... The antidote of Merry Breeze? How is that possible? Who... Who dares to go against me? Get the hell out here!" Antonio roared furiously. He looked around, trying to find the culprit that dared to mess with his plan.
Mason and Loren also noticed that there was something wrong with the rain. When a poisoned Origin Sea Stage Level 1 martial warrior unconsciously swallowed a few drops of rainwater and woke up, the two immediately knew that the rainwater could cure the poison.
"Quick! Have the poisoned person open his mouth. This is the antidote! Hahaha!" Loren laughed loudly and said.
"Antidote? Help me open Kane's mouth." Walter also quickly took action.
Susie quickly went forward. Not only did she open Kane's mouth, but she also used her hand to take some rainwater and pour it into Kane's mouth. After a few seconds, Kane woke up with a blank expression.
One martial warrior after another continued to stand up. Apart from their weak bodies, they didn't feel anything wrong. After checking their bodies, they all stared at Antonio with furious eyes. If looks could kill, Antonio would have died thousands of times over.
"Who are you? Get the hell out here!"
Antonio saw that his means had been easily broken down. The anger in his heart was overflowing with words. He clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he really wanted to kill someone!
"Antonio, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are your injuries now?"
It was at this moment that Alex and Rishi walked out with a smile on their faces.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
Hundreds of eyes immediately fixed on the two of them at the same time.
Rishi nervously shrunk his neck. If it wasn't for Alex who gave him an inexplicable sense of security by his side, his legs would probably have gone soft by now.
"Did he rain this? What kind of martial skill did he use? Why did it carry the antidote of Merry Breeze?" Mason frowned and looked at Alex and muttered softly in his heart.
When he saw that Alex was only a Peak Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior, the suspicion in his eyes became even stronger.
"Who is this man?"
"He seems to be an acquaintance of Antonio, but he is only a Peak Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior. How could he face Antonio so calmly? I wonder if he is too ambitious or too stupid?"
"It's them!" Walter's eyes revealed a trace of shock when he saw Alex. He never thought Alex to appear at this moment.
"Could it be that this rain was caused by him?" Susie asked doubtfully but his doubt was not baseless. She clearly remembered that Alex had accepted the fact that he is a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master. And since he is a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master, it shouldn't be a problem for him to concoct the antidote of Merry Breeze.
"Impossible. I don't think he can do something like this. Furthermore, how could he have the antidote for Merry Breeze? Even a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master needs to go through countless trouble if they want to refine the antidote of this poison. He can't have this kind of antidote in his possession, not to mention the large amount it needs to turn into the rain."
Walter said decisively. He didn't believe that the previous phenomena were the doing of Alex.
"We'll know whether it's true or not very soon." Susie looked at Alex deeply and said.
On the flying ship...
"It's him!" A trace of surprise flashed across Sorya's eyes.
"Did you guys just see what method this rain used?" Ashneer frowned and asked.
"I didn't see it."
"I can't tell either."
"Who is this kid?" Boman's eyes flashed with strange lit as he asked.
"Sir Boman, speaking of this kid, there is a story about him, and it has something to do with Antonio." Sorya smiled as he recounted the incident of Alex defeating Antonio. The more Morcus heard, the uglier his expression became.
"What? If I'm not mistaken, he is a Peak Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior. Defeating Antonio... How could it be?" Someone said in shock on the flying ship.
"I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, ask Morcus." Ashneer and Sorya had a smile on their face when one of them said this sentence. At the same time, they looked at Alex with burning eyes.
Boman glanced at Morcus's expression and knew that what Sorya said was right. His face revealed a look of great interest as he looked at Alex.
