Chapter 0683 Soul of the Hundred Poisonous Snakes

**Chapter 0683: Hundred Venoms Serpent Spirit**

Qin Yun’s opponent was a renowned Demon Disciple from the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley, known as Bai Duzi.

His Martial Soul was a black venomous serpent—rumored to absorb countless venoms and store them within its body.

During battle, Bai Duzi could control which poison his snake released or choose to discharge all of them simultaneously.

As Qin Yun stepped onto the arena, he saw Bai Duzi ascending as well.

He was a tall, muscular youth. Though he possessed a demonic body, he wasn’t overtly menacing in appearance.

Those with demonic bodies had enhanced skin, flesh, and bones, particularly resistant to weapon attacks—this showcased the demonic body’s true resilience.

Yet even the strongest demonic body was fundamentally unequipped to withstand devastating power.

Qin Yun’s strikes carried vibrational force capable of shattering defenses outright—far beyond what any demonic body could endure.

Bai Duzi remained calm and silent, gazing coldly at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun studied him carefully in return and noticed both of Bai Duzi’s hands were purple, radiating an eerie prismatic glow—an unnervingly toxic sight.

It was clear that his hands were saturated with lethal venom.

*Is this guy really immune to all poisons?* Qin Yun mused inwardly.

“Xiao Yun, don’t fear him. Your Sky Lion Mystic Body can resist most toxins, and with my Nether-Yang power shielding you, there won’t be any problem at all!” Ling Yuner said.

Hearing her words, Qin Yun regained his composure.

Bai Duzi appeared supremely confident, showing not the slightest trace of fear toward Qin Yun.

He belonged to Group 16 and had previously witnessed how Qin Yun slaughtered Leng Huan of the Bloodthirst Sect, yet still, he showed no fear!

After all, other sect’s Demon Disciples generally felt some apprehension about facing Qin Yun in battle—his strength was truly formidable.

Everyone in the Demon Barrens knew Leng Huan’s level, yet Qin Yun had slain him in one move!

The middle-aged referee called out, “Are both of you ready?”

Qin Yun and Bai Duzi nodded together.

Once they were set, the referee bellowed, “Let the battle commence!”

In an instant, both combatants blinked out of existence from the arena!

Even the referee was momentarily stunned by the sudden disappearance.

That Bai Duzi also had such a technique sent murmurs through the crowd.

“The spectators gasped.”

“What are these two doing? A cat-and-mouse game?”

“Quit dodging and fight! How long will you hide?”

“These two really have a bottomless bag of tricks.”

Those eager for action began roaring in frustration. Qin Yun had used the *Piercing Mystic Art*, hiding beneath the arena. He could sense that Bai Duzi was still lurking in the air above.

"That guy must have suddenly turned invisible!" Qin Yun muttered angrily. "Never would I have thought he'd use this method too!"

"Is his invisibility also from a Martial Soul?" Ling Yuner asked. "A poison cultivator like him would need excellent stealth to make poisoning easier!"

Qin Yun chuckled. "I'm also skilled in stealth. Let's destroy that fellow's Poisonous Snake Martial Soul and see how much poison he really has—it could be useful for dealing with others later!"

"Let's try it!" Ling Yuner laughed. "Go now, and I'll use immense gravity to deal with him!"

After Qin Yun dashed out, Ling Yuner's immense gravitational force locked onto the now-transparent Bai Duzi.

The invisible Bai Duzi was instantly forced back into his original form, crashing down under the overwhelming pressure.

As Qin Yun started forward, thick dark vapor surged from Bai Duzi’s body, carrying vile fluid within.

"It's poisonous blood!" someone shouted.

Caught off guard, Qin Yun was engulfed by the dark vapor and blood, his face splattered with the foul substance.

Horrifyingly, wherever the black blood touched Qin Yun's skin, black smoke rose as his flesh began melting away—a horrifying spectacle.

"Hahaha…" Bai Duzi slowly rose, laughing loudly. "Qin Yun, you're finished! You've been struck by my most potent toxins—only I can save you now!"

Black smoke billowed from Qin Yun’s body as his flesh rotted, the wounds appearing grievous.

Bao Changshou shouted from below, "Qin Yun, yield now! Let us help suppress the poison!"

Bai Duzi crowed victoriously. "Even if you all work together, you won't be able to suppress it! Only I can fully neutralize it. Of course, he won't die—he has the Profound Body, which gives him strong regenerative powers. My poison will relentlessly eat away at his flesh even as it heals!"

This cycle of rot and renewal was painful just to imagine.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuelan was engaged in battle against an Immortal Disciple, whom she quickly overwhelmed. In mortal fear, the disciple immediately surrendered to avoid death.

Stepping down from the arena, Xiao Yuelan glanced toward Qin Yun’s fight. She showed no concern despite hearing about his condition, for she knew Qin Yun had Yang Shiyue’s Little Jade Rabbit—a mystical creature capable of absorbing great amounts of poison.

"What do you want?" Qin Yun asked coldly, staring at Bai Duzi.

Earlier, Bai Duzi had many chances to strike but deliberately refrained from finishing Qin Yun off.

"Qin Yun, though the poisons inside you are incurable, they’ll keep you alive for three months. Within that time, have Yang Shiyue bring me the Star Monarch Rune Soul in exchange for the antidote!" Bai Duzi taunted.

Others who desired the Star Monarch Rune Soul looked on with admiration.

In order to survive, Qin Yun would now have to seek out Yang Shiyue.

"Qin Yun, just yield obediently now! If I injure you further, you won’t have enough strength left to resist my poisons!" Bai Duzi leered maliciously as Qin Yun stood firm. "If you want to live, become my slave!"

At that moment, the sect master of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley approached—a brown-haired elder with purple hands. Smirking at Bao Changshou, he said, "Not even I can cure the poison afflicting Qin Yun. Only the antidote derived from Bai Duzi’s own Poisonous Snake Martial Soul can neutralize it."

Bao Changshou replied grimly, "Your Ten Thousand Poison Valley never changes—always resorting to such despicable tactics to threaten others!"

Qin Yun’s flesh continuously rotted and regenerated in a horrifying cycle, causing many spectators to shrink back in horror.

Some female disciples from the Sword Immortal Pavilion turned their heads away, unable to bear watching.

Jian Ruyan stole a glance at Xiao Yuelan nearby and found her utterly unconcerned, as if nothing were happening.

"This couple is strange. Her husband is suffering terribly, yet she shows no worry at all!" Jian Ruyan muttered to herself.

She couldn’t bring herself to look at Qin Yun either.

Long Qiaofeng also slightly closed her eyes—Qin Yun’s condition was truly horrific to witness.

Qin Yun suddenly said, “Your poison is strong! But that’s all it is. With your strength, you’re still not capable of defeating me! Though you possess a demonic physique, you’re just a pathetic weakling!”

“Qin Yun, what do you mean by this? Don’t you care about getting cured anymore?” Bai Duzi sneered coldly. “Do you intend to defeat me?”

“Defeat you? No, I’m going to kill you!” As soon as Qin Yun's voice fell, root-like claws burst from the ground, entangling Bai Duzi’s legs.

As Qin Yun closed in, Ling Yuner unleashed an intense gravitational force.

Bai Duzi, who had tried to flee, was slammed down violently, spewing black venomous blood that once again drenched Qin Yun.

Qin Yun made no effort to block the poison. Instead, he struck Bai Duzi’s chest with a fierce palm, shredding his heart.

The shockwave from his attack surged into Bai Duzi’s throat, silencing him.

Qin Yun swiftly released a black mist, enveloping both himself and Bai Duzi. Within the shroud, he quickly extracted Bai Duzi’s Venomous Serpent Martial Soul and Dao Core.

“Qin Yun, stop! If you kill him, the poison in your body will never be cured!” The Wangu Valley Sect Master, witnessing this scene, shouted in panic.

No one expected Qin Yun would be so ruthless as to injure the only person who possessed the antidote!

When the black mist dissipated, everyone saw Bai Duzi in an extremely weakened state, his eyes filled with terror and agony, his face contorted in agony.

“You thought you could trade this lousy poison for the Star Monarch Rune Soul? How naïve!” Qin Yun raised his palm and unleashed the Dragon Vanquish Five Palms, slamming down with devastating force.

The moment the Ultimate Dragon Palm was executed, thunder and lightning surged alongside raging dragons, creating earth-shaking tremors. The deafening roar resembled the death cries of ten thousand dragons.

Boom!

Qin Yun’s palm landed on Bai Duzi’s face, vaporizing his head instantly into a cloud of black mist.

Bang!

The second palm descended, charged with purifying energy. Striking Bai Duzi’s demonic body, it instantly disintegrated him completely.

Bai Duzi was dead!

Yet, Qin Yun still billowed black smoke, his skin continuously rotting away.

“Qin Yun wins!” the middle-aged referee hastily announced.

After stepping off the arena, Bao Changshou rushed over, intending to suppress the poison.

But Qin Yun said, “Elder Bao, don’t touch me, or you’ll be poisoned too! Take me to a quiet place—I have my own way to detoxify.”

The Wangu Valley Sect Master roared furiously, “Qin Yun, you’re a dead man! No one can cure your poison now!”

“Listen well—even if I die, I’ll never let filth like you get your hands on the Rune Soul!” Qin Yun retorted coldly.

“Qin Yun, come with me!” Jian Nanhu said. “I’ll take you to a secluded place.”

Following Jian Nanhu, Qin Yun quickly arrived at a subterranean stone chamber near the plaza.

He entered the secret chamber alone.

“Xiao Yun, should we let the Nether Yang Martial Soul fuse with the Poison Serpent Martial Soul?” Ling Yuner chirped playfully. “That way, the Poison Serpent Martial Soul can absorb the toxins in your body!”

“Good, let’s try it! Let’s avoid bothering the Little Jade Rabbit,” Qin Yun replied with a smile.

After extracting Bai Duzi’s Poison Serpent Martial Soul, Qin Yun had sealed it within the Nether Yang Martial Soul.

Now, Ling Yuner unsealed it and commanded the Nether Yang Martial Soul to consume the Poison Serpent Martial Soul.
