Absolutely not! I cannot be captured by him!
This thought flashed through Tang Sui's mind. Her eyes darkened, her legs bent, and her center of gravity shifted forward. Propelled by her spirit power, she crouched down and, with a sliding movement, narrowly dodged the outstretched hand. Su Dan Novel Network
"Whoosh—!"
A sleeve dart, coated with paralyzing poison, shot out from the arm Tang Sui raised. The sharp poisoned needle, fired from the sleeve dart mechanism, blended almost perfectly with the night, making it extremely difficult to detect.
"Ugh!"
The cloaked figure, caught off guard by Tang Sui's attempt to act under his nose, unexpectedly took several of the poisoned darts infused with paralyzing toxins.
He channeled his spirit power into his body, forcing the darts that had pierced his robes and sunk into his skin out. With a series of "swish-swish" sounds, they were embedded into the ground!
"Poison?! Little girl, you're seeking death!" As an alchemist, the cloaked figure, most sensitive to poisons, suddenly displayed terrifying killing intent on his face, hidden beneath his black robe. His robust spirit power formed an armor that swiftly protected his body. Another portion of his spirit power transformed into scorpion-like pincers, and a black-purple barbed tail was raised high, looking quite formidable!
This was Martial Soul Possession!
His martial soul was scorpion-type!
Tang Sui, who had previously suspected that the cloaked figure's martial soul might be related to "poison," quickly reached a conclusion. Then she saw—
"Third Spirit Skill, Deadly Sting!"
The tip of the raised black-purple scorpion tail, coated with a yellowish-green liquid, fiercely descended towards her.
"Third Spirit Skill, Veil of Nothingness."
Tang Sui also activated her third spirit skill.
The scorpion tail, attached with the yellowish-green viscous fluid and flying towards her, suddenly missed its target and plunged directly into the trunk of a large tree beside Tang Sui, a tree that required several people to encircle!
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—"
A chilling corrosive sound echoed from the tree trunk, especially noticeable in the silent woods.
"Swish, swish, swish—"
The tree, brimming with life just a moment before, was instantly corroded by the venom, its vitality drained. With a crash, it snapped in half and fell heavily to the ground, making Tang Sui's scalp tingle.
If she hadn't used her third spirit skill in time, would there be any good skin left on her body?
This guy was truly enraged by her. Was he no longer planning to capture her alive for alchemy, not even intending to leave her a complete corpse?
"It missed again?"
The cloaked figure flicked away the debris clinging to his scorpion tail, his gaze towards Tang Sui growing more intense.
"Your first and third spirit skills have been revealed. What will your second spirit skill be? Show me more of your capabilities, little girl!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Cross Poison Blades!"
The cloaked figure's claw-like arms, transformed into pincers, waved powerfully in the air. Black-purple energy, like sharp blades, crossed in mid-air and sliced towards Tang Sui.
Tang Sui's expression changed drastically, as this attack was not a physical one, but wind blades stirred by spirit power mixed with potent poison!
Discarding her hidden flight ability, Tang Sui pushed off the ground and floated up from her original spot, intending to escape into the night.
But how could the cloaked figure, as powerful as a Spirit Emperor, let Tang Sui slip away?
Seeing Tang Sui once again reveal a "surprise," the cloaked figure moved, leaping high into the air. The scorpion silhouette of his possessed martial soul once again completely enveloped the petite Tang Sui. The pincers, capable of easily tearing through fine iron, swung down, and the poison stirring the air, combined with spirit power, descended upon Tang Sui.
"Cough!"
Locked by the opponent's aura in mid-air and unable to dodge, Tang Sui took the full brunt of the attack. Blood, mixed with small pieces of flesh, spurted from her mouth. Her illusory form lost its effect instantly, and she reverted to her physical state. Her body, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted from the sky, hitting the ground with a loud thud!
