In the thousands of years that he had cultivated, the supreme elder had evener expected that he would be thrown off by the words of an enemy. Not to mention when this enemy wasn't even a person with a glib tongue,, but rather a beast of all things!
~cough~ ~COUGH~ COUGH!~
The Supreme elder continued to cough and every time he did he only spat out more blood.
"Y-you… What did you do to me?!" The Supreme elder spoke with difficulty.
"Well, you know what they say. You gotta prepare the meat and make sure it is well tenderized before you cook it. I'm just getting you ready to be marinated." Lin Wu replied. "I gave you a little pre-marination." He added.
The Supreme elder found himself at a loss for his words and couldn't even understand what Lin Wu was saying. They seemed unknown to him, and he just thought the beast was mocking him even more.
"I—" The Supreme elder wanted to curse but suddenly felt sharp pains spreading across his body.
It was like fine razors scraping across his blood, his meridians and even his heart. It was the worst kind of a pain he had felt and made him understand that he had been poisoned by something terrifying.
The Supreme elder had not seen Lin Wu use his poisons until now and was thus unaware of them. Lin Wu too had not used them from the start, knowing well that it would be a trump card when used at the right moment.
"You feel that?" Lin Wu continued to speak. "Feel those cuts inside your body? Those are good. It's just like when you put in cuts in meat to make sure the marinate penetrates deep inside. You will taste so good later."
"You— ~SPLAT~" The supreme elder suddenly felt another change in his body.
The razors that were tearing his insides were now threating to burst out from his body. In fact, a few of them had already shot out from the bleeding cuts he already had. And when he looked at them, he found them to be small blades that seemed to be formed from some kind of energy.
"Oh, don't worry. The process is just starting. When the entire thing is done, you will be the same as a slab of meat that went through a spiked meat tenderizer~" Lin Wu chuckled.
What Lin Wu had used earlier was one of his four poisons that he had. It was the Tearing Wind poison and was made due to the influence of Wind elemental proficiency Lin Wu had.
It was a poison that Lin Wu hadn't really used in a real battle and had only tested it out on some unfortunate subject. The results were rather gruesome and bloody in the end. But the tests also revealed the flaws of the Wind Tearing poison.
The biggest flaw of the Wind Tearing Poison was that it would only take effect if it actually entered the body of the target. Thus, the best way to use it was with the Venom Fang skill.
Using it with Poison breath would only made it dissipate easily and even if it touched the skin of someone it wouldn't do much. In fact, even if it touched a commoner with no cultivation whatsoever, they would be fine.
That was until they breathed it in, of course. Then the result would be entirely different.
This was also the reason why using it on beings with cultivation base would make it difficult since they could just hold their breath.
Lin Wu knew this very well and waited until he had the right opportunity. When he saw that even the Stellar Thundering Wind splitter was not enough to kill the supreme elder, he knew he would have to finds way to make him drop his guard.
Making him breathe it in would be the most important thing since he couldn't exactly move towards the man and bite him in this situation. The Supreme elder, being focused on his skill and being enraged, was the right combination needed to make him breathe it and also make him suffer from a backlash at the same time.
'The force is already easing up.' Lin Wu felt it on his tail.
The light of the Dao Embryo also dimmed down slightly. It would be hard for others to perceive it but Lin Wu could tell that very easily with his radiation perception. Just like the tribulation lightning bolts, Lin Wu could see transparent specs in the Dao Embryo along with the chill of ice that appeared blue.
The dark blue color of the Icicle turned a shade lighter, showing that its temperature had actually increased.
Lin Wu also watched the Supreme elder finding that his poison was already at its limits and about to reach the climax.
The supreme elder struggled to keep up the balance of his spirit Qi while also making sure that his Dao embryo was working. The poison ravaging his body also needed to be resisted or he might just die from that before Lin Wu killed him.
But before he could do much, he felt the pain spiking even more. The razors of poison pushed his flesh from the inside before his skin was unable to bear it any more.
~pew~ pew~pew~pew~ pew~
As if a grenade had exploded, the wind razors shot out from the supreme elder's body. They tore though his skin and vessels, turning him into a pin cushion man.
"AAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" The old man cried out in pain.
He had never expected today would be going like this and he would be suffering the worst injuries of his life.
'Even the fight against Patriarch Bing was nothing compared to this…' The supreme elder couldn't help but compare.
But this was the least of his worries, as his misfeature had not ended yet.
The pain had made him lose focus enough that his control of his spirit Qi wavered.
Which meant that…
~KACHA~
"There we go, HAHAHA!" Lin Wu roared upon seeing the Dao Shell finally cracking!
