With Liu Xiling and the Demon Elder's successive retreats, the tense atmosphere of an imminent battle that had loomed over the mountain stream also dissipated.
Lu Youzhen and Feng Chibai let out faint sighs of relief. Though they did not fear Liu Xiling and the Demon Elder, both were Sky Apex Realm powerhouses. A battle between them would likely result in grievous injuries for both sides.
Lu Youzhen approached Ling Chen, who lay unconscious before him, and placed a hand on his pulse. Shaking his head, he muttered, "Heavenly Shadow Poison... it truly is one of the world's most formidable poisons. The toxins have completely permeated his meridians."
"I never thought that demoness would be so ruthless as to use such a potent poison on her own son."
Feng Chibai glanced at Ling Chen, whose lips had turned purple from the toxin spreading throughout his body, and sighed. "Heavenly Shadow Poison is incurable. Ling Chen now only has one breath left; death is looming."
