The poison cloud spread over the battlefield with Xu Chehan at its center . It killed everything it came across . Bodies were piled up on the ground . More than a hundred cultivators had died at his hands . Among them were many Sage level cultivators . This type of large-scale poison sorcery attack was truly terrible .

Of course, not many of those who were skilled at poison sorcery were good at defense, but Xu Chehan was . His body was incredibly strong, so much so that other people’s rule spells could not kill him . Moreover, at this moment, he could be said to be completely poisonous . No one dared get near him . That was why he could not grab Little Butterfly and break out of there . Otherwise, the poison bursting from him was enough to cut a bloody road through his enemies, and none of them could stop him .
But he couldn’t leave, he could only stay and protect Little Butterfly . His face grew darker and darker as his handsome features grew horrible . His arms were turning black as well . This terrible poison sorcery was turning against him .
“Brother . ” Tears streamed down Little Butterfly’s face continuously as the little details of her and her sworn brother’s life together flashed through her mind . She naturally understood his inner nature and knew that although others called him Great Teacher Xu, he was still very hard on himself . Once the situation involved her, he would always do the most important thing and stand before her to protect her . Just like now, as he stood before her in the air . Poison filled the air, but in her eyes, his figure was majestic, almost divine .
“He can’t hold out for much longer,” came a voice from the sky . He had killed so many cultivators from the North Deep that as far as they were concerned, they wanted to kill him despite the fact that he was Saint Jiang’s disciple . Terrible rule spells continued to descend upon him .
Xu Chehan reached up and the poisonous mist reached out from him like a tentacle . It instantly turned into a terrible dark shadow that wrapped around his opponents . In a flash, there were more blackened corpses . Xu Chehan still stood there, weathering their attacks .
Ye Futian was still rushing towards them, cutting a bloody road through his enemies . Yun Shang, Qin Zhuang, and the others had been intercepted by the cultivators from the Endless Sea, so Ye Futian was charging forward alone . He was coming extremely quickly, and his clothes were soaked in blood .
Ao Feng watched him as he came . Ye Futian had been so strong at the Imperial Mausoleum . As one of the top 20 on the Sage Ranking, Ao Feng wanted to try him and see what level Ye Futian had reached . A trident appeared in his hands that seemed to have waves rolling over it . He thrust it forward and the air rushed past it with a sound like the ocean . Divine power spread out from the trident . It was clearly a divine implement .
He looked ahead and saw Ye Futian rushing towards him . He stepped forward and the air trembled . An invisible power rushed out like a slap in the face . It was like thousands of huge waves were rolling over Ye Futian, slowing him down . He looked at Ao Feng and realized that he was facing a truly fearsome opponent .
However, at the moment that he slowed down, Ye Futian stepped forward and a terrible storm wrapped around him, tearing through the air . It rushed forward and tore through the ocean wind . He rushed forward and stabbed out with the Halberd of Time and Space, making it collide with the silver trident .

Time and space seemed to freeze as the halberd pressed forward with an indomitable will . Space and time were torn, and everything was about to be destroyed . But the silver trident had boundless power, and thousands of waves swept out . Its majestic power made Ye Futian tremble, as if his body were being beaten over and over again . Even the starry defense light curtain was broken .
His rushed attack gave him a temporary advantage, but even so, Ao Feng felt a strong sense of danger . He was thrown backward at the instant of collision, and the space where he had stood was no exploding and tearing . Ye Futian rushed past him, not getting entangled with him .
Ao Feng looked back at him angrily . At that moment he felt like he couldn’t move . A deadly attack had descended and time and space froze . This was enough to make him feel desperate . He did not want to feel like that again . Several figures rushed by him . Ye Futian broke through rows of enemies and finally reached Xu Chehan’s side, entering into the poison mist .
A line of dark mist wrapped around him and seemed to enter him . At this moment Ye Futian could feel his breathing stop . He looked back and said, “Don’t come any closer . ” He then continued on toward Xu Chehan .
Xu Chehan looked at Ye Futian with his dark eyes . His entire body had turned black, and it seemed that he could die at any moment . On seeing his condition, Ye Futian said, “You should cut off the poison and take a rest . ”
Xu Chehan shook his head and said, “I can’t . Take care of Little Butterfly for me . ” On saying this, he fell out of the sky and the poison mist spread uncontrollably from him in all directions . But it was not as powerful as before . Yu Sheng, Hua Jieyu, and the others who had dared to come this far were still following Ye Futian .
“Brother!” Little Butterfly caught Xu Chehan’s body as tears fell . Xu Chehan looked at her and smiled . It was a tragic scene . “Little Butterfly, when I’m not here anymore, the master will have to take care of you . ”
“That won’t happen . ” Little Butterfly shook her head .
Xu Chehan looked at her, and then looked up at Ye Futian who was protecting them up in the sky . He whispered, “If you really love him, Little Butterfly, then let him give you a good status . ”

“You idiot,” scolded Ye Futian . As he said this, he reached into the air and the attacking cultivators were imprisoned by stars . He thrust out his right hand and a beam of light pierced the sky, destroying the starry prisons and making it so that the ones rushing towards them did not dare come closer .
“Protect them both,” said Ye Futian to Yu Sheng and the other three . They all nodded . They divided themselves up to protect Little Butterfly and Xu Chehan .
More cultivators were coming . In addition to the ones from the North Deep who had come to deal with Xu Chehan, all the cultivators from the Endless Sea came . Ye Futian and Huang Jiuge were there, so that’s where the Halberd of Time and Space and Renhuang’s inheritance were .
Ye Futian’s face grew ugly as he looked at them gathering together densely . He was strong, but if they restricted his movements he would be in trouble . It was just like it had been for Xu Chehan . No matter how strong you were, you could not endure limitless attacks by yourself . Violent attacks rained down, and Ye Futian stepped forward, guarding the air where he was . He truly became a chokepoint for the enemies .
When he heard Ye Futian’s words, Xu Chehan looked angrily at him, but when he saw what was happening, the anger in his eyes disappeared . As he watched him standing resolutely there in the air he felt a warmth that he had not felt in a long time .
Maybe that guy’s poison came only from his mouth .
“Brother, you can’t be hurt . ” Little Butterfly looked at him and shook her head .
“Little Butterfly, the poison pellet contained the poison that I had cultivated over dozens of years . Now that is has been released it cannot return . ” His voice seemed so weak . The poison sorcery had damaged his organs and every part of his body .
“I have a medicine pellet . ” Little Butterfly smiled brightly through her tears . Then she lowered her head and kissed Xu Chehan on the lips . He looked stunned as if he had forgotten how to think . As he felt those tender red lips kissing him, he felt a powerful medicinal force enter his body .

Their eyes were as close to each other as could be . Xu Chehan shook his head, wanting to stop Little Butterfly . He had a moment of fear . Doing this might kill her . But Little Butterfly held onto him, closed her eyes, and a black line appeared on her face . However, a sacred radiance shone from her body . Tears flowed from Xu Chehan’s eyes . At this moment, he could die without regret . He suddenly understood why Ye Futian had looked at him like that and said those cruel words to him . He had probably already seen what would happen .
That d*mn guy . But at this moment, Xu Chehan could not hate him .
Two pellets seemed to be suspended between their bodies, one black and one white . One was poison, and one was medicine . But now the two intersected, and black and white merged . Blackness flowed across Little Butterfly as the blackness on Xu Chehan’s body decreased . His skin turned white again as his body’s vitality was restored .
The sound of a terrible collision came from the sky . It was the battle that Ye Futian was fighting . But Xu Chehan seemed not to feel it .
Up in the air, a powerful figure stepped forward . Saint North Deep swept his gaze over the one who had come with an ugly look on his face . It was Saint Jiang .
“North Deep, I wish to take away my disciples . Do you have any objections?” said Saint Jiang .
“Look at all the corpses down there, Saint Jiang,” said Saint North Deep .
Sain Jiang seemed not to hear him . He said, “I hereby announce that I am entering the Sacred War . If the three holy lands of the Endless Sea will let me through, then I will not target them . Otherwise…”
Saint North Deep’s face grew hard . As number 12 on the Saints Ranking, this man who had once been a master of poisons was still quite powerful .
“Ocean King Palace will let you through,” said Ocean Saint . Since the two people down there were leaving the battle, they had no need to make an enemy of Saint Jiang .
The Celestial Cliffs were the same and said that they would let him through . Only Saint North Deep’s face remained firm . Most of the people that Xu Chehan had just killed had been his, including one of his sons . In his heart, he cursed the unruly b*stard . But Saint Jiang’s calm words had been so forceful . “If you don’t let me through, I will threaten the Saints of the Endless Sea . Do you dare to try and stop me?”
Emperor Xia had said that anyone in the Nine States could freely launch a Sacred War . They did not need to notify him, and they did not need a reason .
“I’ll let you through,” said Saint North Deep with his face held hard . Saint Jiang would firmly fight him if it came to blows, even at great cost to himself .
The cultivators in the air made a path, and Xu Chehan and Little Butterfly separated themselves . Xu Chehan was already much better as he looked up at Saint Jiang .
“Master!” both of them called .
Saint Jiang’s gaze fell upon Xu Chehan, and he said, “Chehan, from now on you will study the way of medicine . ” Xu Chehan looked like he had been struck by lightning . He knelt there for a while, then finally reacted . He bowed down and touched his head to the ground, and the sound of sobbing could be heard .
“Thank you, master . ” When he looked up, his face was covered in tears . How could he not understand his master’s good intentions towards him now? His master had always cared for him . He let go of all the darkness he had accumulated over the years . His heart was clear, and his emotions had been released .
Xu Chehan was the great disciple of Saint Jiang!
