Chapter 216: Fate Potion
Flames!
The flames of the Explosive Flame Formation roared as they burned. Li Jiexuan couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Am I really going to lose just like this?"
His first failure? It didn't seem like much—after all, this was only a story world. Even if he failed and died, Li Jiexuan wouldn't actually lose anything…
But…
I'm not willing to accept this!
The flames of the Explosive Flame Formation surged. In the next thousandth of a second, they would blast Li Jiexuan into a pile of shredded flesh, forcing him to leave this world and experience his first defeat.
"Flying Thunder God?"
No— a delay of even one second wouldn't change anything. Ice Release couldn't seal the explosion within a thousandth of a second either. It seemed he had no way to escape unscathed!
If he couldn't escape intact, even if he barely survived, he would still be killed by Hanzo afterward. Perhaps…
Accepting defeat and leaving would be more dignified!
"Don't joke around—I haven't lost yet!" Li Jiexuan roared through gritted teeth. "Ice Release Armor, Wood Release Armor—come out!"
With his Bloodline Limits pushed to the absolute limit, three full layers of defense formed, wrapping around Li Jiexuan one after another. Finally…
"Boom!"
The Explosive Flame Formation detonated violently, the terrifying blast seeming as if it would overturn the entire earth…
When the smoke cleared, Hanzo couldn't help but frown. "Even the Explosive Flame Formation didn't kill you—your vitality really is tenacious!"
"But… what's the point?"
After the explosion, even within three layers of protection, Li Jiexuan had still lost both legs. Like Nagato, he had only managed to keep his life, collapsing helplessly onto the ground.
"Wind Release—Poison Dragon Jutsu!"
Hanzo smiled as he took out a glass bottle, poured the last drop of salamander venom into his mouth, chewed briefly, and spat out another purple poison dragon!
Facing the ferocious poison dragon, Li Jiexuan no longer had any strength left. His entire body burned, his consciousness slowly fading, as he forced a bitter smile. "So from the very beginning… I chose the wrong target!"
Although Hanzo had a salamander poison sac implanted since childhood, he was still human. There was no way so much poison could all exist within his body…
All of that poison came from the salamander!
From the very start, the one Li Jiexuan should have killed wasn't Hanzo—but the salamander…
As long as he killed the salamander—the source of the poison—Hanzo's Poison Dragon Jutsu would be left without venom to use, and would naturally collapse!
Was it wrong from the very beginning?
Unfortunately, he only realized it now!
The ferocious poison dragon slammed into Li Jiexuan. In an instant, the terrifying poison gas seeped into his body through every pore. He could clearly feel the toxins rapidly corroding him, turning his limbs and organs into sludge…
Death was imminent!
"Is this fate? Only letting me understand everything right before I die…" Li Jiexuan muttered, his eyes gradually dimming.
But at that moment…
"Ding. Do you wish to use the Fate Potion?"
The system's notification stunned Li Jiexuan, and he couldn't help but murmur, "Fate Potion…"
Fate Potion: Drink me, and I will change your fate…
What a vague description—hardly reassuring at all!
But…
Li Jiexuan let out a self-mocking chuckle. "Things are already this bad—could fate really get any worse?"
"Confirm!"
The mysterious purple Fate Potion slowly flowed into Li Jiexuan's body… as if nothing had happened.
