Chapter 102: Nine Poison Realm Law

Chu Han was stunned. He hadn't expected the Nine Poison Witch Woman to be so terrifying. Looking at Liu Qingli at that moment, he was somewhat dazed. Could it be that in the future, Liu Qingli would also turn into such a terrifying person? He didn't dare to think about it, because he didn't want this to happen.

"To restore the memories of the Nine Poison Witch Woman isn't impossible. Previously, I saw in an ancient book that to restore memories, one needs something called Nine Immortal Grass. However, this thing is extremely difficult to find, and for so long, I've never heard of it appearing."

Jade's voice resounded again. Although she spoke very tactfully, it was already quite obvious. Whether Nine Immortal Grass exists in this world or not is uncertain, let alone restoring Liu Qingli's memories. His meaning was clear: he wanted Chu Han to give up.

Chu Han's gaze was fixed tightly on Liu Qingli, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. "I won't give up. I'll definitely find the Nine Immortal Grass."

As soon as his words fell, Chu Han charged forward directly. Blue lightning crackled along his right fist, and he struck fiercely toward Liu Qingli.

However, Liu Qingli had no intention of fighting him. Her body slowly rose, floating in the air. Chu Han fell into empty space, and then Liu Qingli clasped her hands together, forming a strange hand gesture. Her voice was emotionless and her expression calm. "Nine Poison Realm Law."

With her words, countless purple ropes shot out from her body, blocking Chu Han's retreat. They crossed each other, weaving into a net that trapped him firmly. Then a purple mist sprayed forth, enveloping him completely.

Chu Han's clothes were slowly corroded into holes. Seeing this, he was taken aback. This poison mist possessed a corrosive effect, and his incompletely formed Hell Gold Body could barely withstand it.

Thinking this, he tried to break free, but a purple rope blocked his path. When he touched it, intense poison flooded his veins. His complexion turned deathly pale. The poison was far too deadly; even a slight contact had poisoned his meridians.

He quickly circulated his true energy to expel the toxin, but its power was too great. He could only suppress it temporarily.

The surrounding purple mist grew denser, wrapping him in its embrace. His clothes were corroded to tatters, and his skin began to rot. If this continued, he would have no escape but death.

"Thunder Fire."

Chu Han realized he could wait no longer. Blue lightning coalesced into a yellow flame on his right hand—the power of Thunder Fire. Gripping his blazing fist, he slammed it into the ground. The earth cracked, and flames surged forth in abundance.

Poison mist was a Yin substance, while Thunder Fire was pure Yang and rigid. It completely countered the poison. Yet his internal lightning was limited, and the condensed Thunder Fire was sparse. Still, it was enough to break his bonds.

The mist dissipated at once. The purple ropes, scorched by the flames, crumbled away. Chu Han quickly donned fresh clothes and strode forward.

Seeing Chu Han emerge unscathed, Liu Qingli frowned. The Nine Poison Realm Law was a formidable technique, yet it had failed to kill him.

Chu Han pressed on. Liu Qingli did not hurry. She retreated two steps, then a swarm of giant bees erupted from her sleeves—thousands upon thousands, each as large as a man's thumb. They were terrifying.

"Man-eating bees! Run! The numbers are overwhelming. You can't fight them all. If you stay, you'll die here."

Jade's voice was urgent. She knew the beasts' horror well.

But Chu Han's face darkened. A lightning bolt struck the swarm. Countless bees fell to the ground, paralyzed and helpless. Yet their numbers were too vast; his attacks could not reach them all.

"I won't leave. I must save Qingli. She became like this because of me. I cannot shirk responsibility."

He shouted and tried to charge again. The jade pendant on his chest suddenly blazed, emitting seven-colored light. Chu Han, already losing his senses, suddenly regained clarity.

He froze, realizing Jade must have activated the pendant's power to keep him from losing control.

"Don't be impulsive. As long as the green mountains stand, there will always be wood. If you die here, Liu Qingli will be lost forever. Run quickly, find the Nine Immortal Grass, and return for her."

Jade's voice was filled with anxiety. After so many years, someone had finally offered to help her revival. She could not bear to lose Chu Han. Of course, she had no idea of his Undying System.

Chu Han was clearly outmatched. If he insisted on fighting, he would die. Though Liu Qingli now possessed only Yin Realm strength, the Nine Poison Witch Woman's physique made slaying him effortless.

Chu Han regained his senses. He knew Jade's advice was the wisest course. If he stayed and fought, he would not only fail to save Liu Qingli but drag himself down as well. He hated to admit it, but he was no match for her.

"Wolf clan members, hear me clearly. You have provoked an enemy you should not have. I, Chu Han, swear an oath: one day, I will exterminate your entire wolf clan and slaughter every last one of you. From this day forward, you are waiting only for death."

He shouted this and rushed from the cave entrance. Lightning traps still remained there. Though the man-eating bees tried to pursue, they could not escape his barriers and soon vanished.

The wolf clan members inside the cave had seen his murderous eyes and trembled. They now understood Chu Han's true nature. Perhaps everything he said he would do.

Chu Han was furious. He had not expected Liu Qingli to be turned into such a monster. He did not know how to face her father in Jingyuan City. For now, he could only conceal the truth. Once he found the Nine Immortal Grass and restored her memories, he would take her back.

At that moment, Chu Han had returned to Donghuang. Li Fu had been ordered to investigate the Nine Immortal Grass secretly. He sat alone in a tavern, his heart heavy with thoughts of Liu Qingli.

Then several short-sighted men approached. Seeing his dejected expression, they burst into laughter.

"Look, isn't that Chu Han?"

"Chu Han—the one who fled in panic during the Youth Competition? The Second Elder must have frightened him into running."

"Of course. He searched for him for ages without success, declared him gone. Who knew he'd dare return?"

Hearing their mocking words, Chu Han frowned. If it had been before, he would not have bothered with them. But now his mood was at its lowest. He was poking a sleeping tiger that had been enraged for too long. The consequences ahead would haunt them for life.
