"Earth-Rank Warrior!" the black-clad ninja whose pupils shrank sharply steadied his form against the wall. He had originally thought that Xia Liu was just a Mysterious Rank Warrior, but now it seemed he was definitely an Earth Rank! "Earth-Rank Warrior!" Ouyang Lingtian was equally shocked. Earth-Rank Warriors were exceedingly rare in the entirety of Huaxia. Even if they existed, they were either leaders of a sect or reclusive experts hidden from the world. To cultivate to the Earth Rank, even someone with extraordinary talent would need decades of accumulation. But Xia Liu was only in his twenties, if he truly was an Earth-Rank Warrior, then the history of Huaxia's Warrior Realm would need to be rewritten! "No! Not an Earth-Rank Warrior! It's Body Cultivation!" Ouyang Lingtian's mind was even more shaken as he thought. Body Cultivation focused on the physical strength and various aspects of mobility. Xia Liu's Inner Qi was not powerful, but his strength and speed could reach such a level. It was definitely Body Cultivation! "Hand over the antidote, you have a chance to leave a complete corpse," Xia Liu said sternly, without a reply, looking at the black-clad ninja. "Hm? He's bargaining for the antidote for me!" A slight tremor ran through Ouyang Lingtian's heart. "Ha ha! Martial Artist from Huaxia, even if you are at Earth-Rank Cultivation, what of it? Without the antidote, your friend is as good as dead," the black-clad ninja couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Yagyū Family, right? I suppose you don't have the Cherry Blossom Poison antidote either, so die!" With a cry of "Die," Xia Liu activated his movement technique, his afterimage reappeared, and his outstretched palm struck at the black-clad ninja. "Humph! Just an Earth-Rank Warrior, Godslayer!" Not to be outdone, the black-clad ninja summoned the Godslayer in response to Xia Liu's rapid attack. A pitch-black figurine appeared and immediately positioned itself in front of the black-clad ninja. The Godslayer was sometimes ethereal, sometimes solidifying; it could be considered the ninja's strongest shield. And more importantly, the biggest feature was that the Godslayer was the nemesis of Inner Qi! Warriors below the Earth Rank couldn't easily injure the Godslayer, let alone break it. Boom! Xia Liu's mighty palm struck the Godslayer, instantly echoing a dull sound throughout the hallway. "Hm? As expected, it can't break through the Godslayer's defense..." Ouyang Lingtian knew something about the ninja's Godslayer. The Godslayer was a unique hallmark of Earth-Rank Ninjas, and only Earth-Rank Warriors could possibly shatter it. Because Earth-Rank Warriors also had unique hallmarks. "Ha ha! You're not an Earth-Rank Warrior, it looks like you two are headed to Hell together in this invasion," the black-clad ninja laughed. He had also been desperately trying, and unexpectedly, he had blocked it. With the power of the Godslayer, he was confident he could dispose of Xia Liu within five minutes! "Xia Liu, run now!" Feeling the venom entering his organs, Ouyang Lingtian knew he was doomed. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire Right now, the person he was most concerned about was undoubtedly Fang Fei; if something else happened to Xia Liu, Fang Fei would certainly be devastated. Thus, Xia Liu must not die! Thinking thus, Ouyang Lingtian pulled back his Inner Qi that had been suppressing the venom, planning to cover Xia Liu's escape. Just then. A mocking laugh came from Xia Liu's mouth. "Who told you that only an Earth-Rank Warrior can shatter your lousy Godslayer?" Hm? Before the black-clad ninja and Ouyang Lingtian could react, Xia Liu was already in motion. Suddenly, Xia Liu withdrew his palm and struck fiercely again! Boom! A crisp sound, a palm infused with Five Element Spiritual Energy furiously struck the Godslayer. The Godslayer's pitch-black body cracked, shattered, and crumbled into pieces!!! "Ah!!!" The shattering of Godslayer caused a massive backlash, and the black-clad ninja immediately let out a painful howl. The Godslayer had been obtained at the cost of their souls. If the Godslayer died, the ninja's soul would also perish. Once the soul perished, the body would quickly follow. But before the black-clad ninja's body could perish, Xia Liu struck him in the chest with a palm! Thump! A large hole was directly blown through the chest of the black-clad ninja. His whole body flew backward, cracking the wall as well. So strong! Cold sweat drenched Ouyang Lingtian's back. He had never imagined that Xia Liu could be so powerful. He hadn't felt any enhancement from Xia Liu's Inner Qi from start to finish, which meant he had shattered the ninja's Godslayer with the mere strength of his body! Actually, Ouyang Lingtian couldn't see Inner Qi or Spiritual Energy; otherwise, he wouldn't have called Xia Liu a Body Cultivator. Spiritual Energy, unlike the Inner Qi cultivated by martial artists, was stronger and more versatile. After killing the ninja, Xia Liu rummaged through his body. Apart from finding some weapons, he did not find the antidote for the Cherry Blossom Poison. "Young Master Ouyang, has the venom reached your heart?" Xia Liu thought for a while before asking. "Yes, nearly, but don't worry about me. Let's hurry up and complete the mission," Ouyang Lingtian said politely. The main reason was that Xia Liu was too powerful. He could collapse at any moment now, so he had to set aside his pride and ask Xia Liu for help. "Ah… about to die and still thinking about the mission, I'm really impressed," Xia Liu could not help but sigh. He knew something about the Cherry Blossom Poison. A unique toxin from the Yagyū family of ninja. If an ordinary person were poisoned, they would die within an hour. The death was extremely gruesome. Even a martial artist using Inner Qi could not hold off for more than a few days. This poison was chronically severe, and aside from the antidote from the Yagyū family, there was almost no cure. Even Xia Liu, who possessed the Five Element Spiritual Energy, could only delay the effects. The Cherry Blossom Poison had been passed down in the Yagyū family for hundreds of years, and this generation had added countless modern technological viruses to it. Once the venom invaded the internal organs, Xia Liu had no solution. Looking at Ouyang Lingtian clenching his teeth in determination, Xia Liu realized that the poison had invaded his vital organs. That desolate silhouette tugged at his heartstrings. If it had been a year ago, he might have been able to use his full Spiritual Energy with silver needles to detoxify him. Now, that might not be possible; it might even require a trip to the Yagyū family to find a cure. "Stop!" The moment they stepped into the tenth-floor offices, Xia Liu spoke up to caution him. "What's wrong?" Although reluctant, Ouyang Lingtian obeyed Xia Liu and stopped. "Didn't you notice that there are at least twenty ninjas standing in the hallway ahead?" Xia Liu exclaimed in astonishment. The poison had really invaded his vital organs; he couldn't even detect those ninjas employing Invisibility Technique. "Uh uh uh…" Ouyang Lingtian stepped back in shock. "Wait for a moment then. I'll handle this." Seeing Ouyang Lingtian follow his command to complete the mission, Xia Liu's heart gradually softened. "Thanks." Without responding, Xia Liu's Spiritual Energy surged, and his movement technique created trails of after-images as he maneuvered swiftly within the office area. Thud thud thud… Wherever Xia Liu went, two black-clad ninjas would fall the next second. In no time, Xia Liu had crossed to the other side, about fifteen meters away. And the floor was already densely littered with fallen ninjas. "Hiss…" Ouyang Lingtian took several sharp breaths, fully realizing today just how strong Xia Liu really was!
