Chapter 7, the flash of Pluto

Returning to the cabin, Ah Dui rushed straight to Goriss's laboratory. Having already memorized the notes thoroughly, he clearly remembered what was needed to suppress the Sacred Water of No. 2.

The man in white kept his right hand on his chest and said calmly, "This is the first time someone has seen the Pluto Sword in action and still lived. Out of consideration for our past interactions, you may leave. You should be able to explain this when you return. I do not wish to kill anyone else today"

A fool let out a sound and handed over the silver ball in his hand

Yes, three taels of silver mother, one tael of crystal powder, and half a tael of extinguishing heart grass. Oh, the teacher mentioned that this extinguishing heart grass is highly toxic. How can we use half a tael of it? Never mind, it doesn't matter; what the teacher says is always right. A quarter tael of clear machine frost, a third tael of fragrant wind grass, ... Ah Dui carefully gathered all the items noted in the records and placed them into the small cauldron. He then fetched some clear water, poured it in, and stirred it a few times with the pestle, nodding in satisfaction.

He then fetched some clear water, poured it in, and stirred it a few times with the pestle, nodding in satisfaction

In the short distance of one hundred meters, Ah Dai took a full five minutes to walk. He could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat, as for a child not yet twelve years old, the scene he had just witnessed could only be described as terrifying. Three living beings had vanished so easily.

Adao stared blankly at everything happening before him, rubbing his eyes. The earlier scene felt so unreal, the overwhelming malevolent energy left a deep mark in his heart. He had never imagined that someone could unleash such a powerful attack. The dark energy emitted by his teacher, Chris, when using the black flame was nothing compared to the white-clad figure before him. If it weren't for the fact that the white-clad person had collapsed right in front of him, he would have thought he was dreaming. He was unaware that he had narrowly escaped death; the malevolent energy radiating from the white-clad figure could disturb even a master like Mie Yi, let alone someone as frail as Adao. If it weren't for the continuous life force from the rebirth fruit helping him dispel the malevolent energy, he would have already died from chaotic meridians.

The gentle smile of the man in white touched Ah Dai. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Alright, but you need to rest for a bit and leave quickly, okay? My teacher might be back soon. My teacher doesn't really like strangers"

The man in white possesses profound skills; even after being tormented by the Holy Water for several days, the toxicity of the Holy Water has now been absorbed by the silver sphere crafted by A-Dai. He is able to walk independently now, and aside from the control exerted by the silver sphere, he still retains about 20 to 30 percent of his original power

The man in white let out a cold snort, his voice low and hoarse. "Do you take me for a three-year-old? Even if I go back with you, what difference does it make? Do you think that beast has the antidote for the Wuer Holy Water? Do not forget, the Wuer Holy Water is the most lethal poison in the world, and there is no cure for it. Even if he had the antidote, I would never return to bow and scrape before him again. I would rather eat his flesh and drink his blood. I only regret why I was so foolish, only to see his true colors at that time. You may leave; considering you have followed me for so long, I will spare you a way out. Even if he had the antidote, I would never return to bow and scrape before him again. I would rather eat his flesh and drink his blood. I only regret why I was so foolish, only to see his true colors at that time. You may leave; considering you have followed me for so long, I will spare you a way out. Is it that you wish to join the dead Eleven as vengeful spirits?"

Fool? Is there really such a name? The man in white was momentarily taken aback, "Why are you here? What were you doing just now?"

The man in white showed a change in expression, a look of surprise fleeting in his eyes. "So, you were right there when we made our move. Are you feeling any discomfort in your body"

Rubbing his hands together, Ah Dui excitedly murmured to himself: "Alright, I'm about to begin. Elemental fire that fills the world, please grant me the power of combustion. In my name, with your strength, appear now, searing flames." With a hiss, a blue-green flame emerged from Ah Dui's palm. He carefully moved his hand beneath the cauldron, allowing the outer flames to continuously heat the small cauldron.

The man in white revealed a hint of a smile and said, "How do you know they are bad people, and how do you know I am a good person?"

Ah Dou thought for a moment and said: "No, I cannot take you there. If the teacher finds out, he will be unhappy."

Suddenly, he felt a slight chill on his neck, as if a massive sword tip had appeared at the side of his neck, rendering him unable to move as if a heavy burden of a thousand pounds pressed down on his shoulder

A fool said: "By the way, after swallowing the silver ball, you must also use your true energy to contain the toxicity; only then can the silver ball restrict the poisonous gas within a certain range"

The man in black said: "Boss, to be honest, we all admire you. Although we have never truly met, your Underworld Sword is something we cannot compete with at all. I dare say that there are very few people on the continent who can stand against you. However, most of your power is currently being used to suppress the effects of the holy water, and you definitely cannot maintain that for long. If you cannot wield your Underworld Sword, how can you kill us all? You are right, the holy water indeed has no antidote, but with your strength, as long as we assist you, suppressing it for a few years should not be a problem. But now, most of your power is used to suppress the holy water's effects, and you definitely cannot hold on for too long. If you cannot wield your Underworld Sword, how can you kill us all? You are right, the holy water indeed has no antidote, but with your strength, as long as we assist you, suppressing it for a few years should not be a problem. Why must you insist on seeking death? We do not know what happened between you and the master, nor do we wish to know. What we need to do is take you back. Boss, you should know the master's temper. If we return empty-handed, the punishment we face will be more terrifying than death."

Ah! Uncle, have you rested well

The flash of the Pluto shook the heavens and the earth. The figure of the man in white suddenly became unreal, his seemingly real yet illusory silhouette flickering and vanishing. An aura of malevolence erupted from him, a glimmer of eerie blue light appearing and disappearing with his form. In an instant, the malevolent energy surged forth, completely enveloping the attack of the man in black.

A-Dai suddenly felt a chill throughout his body, as a cold and malevolent aura seeped into him through his pores. Unconsciously, he shivered and thought to himself, how terrifying this person is! An overwhelming evil energy filled the air, causing A-Dai to tremble uncontrollably. Just as he was about to cry out, a wave of peaceful energy suddenly surged within him, driving out the malevolent energy that had invaded his body. Warmth enveloped him, and he felt considerably more comfortable.

Eleven men in black moved simultaneously, their narrow swords emitting a brilliant light as they simultaneously thrust towards the chest of the man in white

As they all ceased their actions and stood still, Ah Dai could barely make out the faces of the group, all of whom were veiled, including the man in white known as the King of the Underworld, rendering their appearances invisible. When he heard the name "Wuyi Holy Water," he was taken aback; it was the only poison in Goriss's notes that had no antidote. A few days ago, Goriss had mentioned that he had devoted a long time to studying this Wuyi Holy Water, which was exceptionally rare, existing only in small quantities within the imperial palace of the Tianjin Empire, and was used only when the emperor wished to execute a high-ranking official. Goriss held Wuyi Holy Water in high regard in his notes, stating that its name signifies uniqueness, and its method of production has long been lost. The remaining Wuyi Holy Water on the continent is extremely scarce, with prices in the black market reaching one thousand diamond coins per drop. If a single drop of Wuyi Holy Water were to be mixed into clear water, its toxicity could turn half the city's residents into souls. Those affected by Wuyi Holy Water could only suppress its effects through their own power, but could not dispel it; once their strength was exhausted, they would inevitably succumb to the poison, their bodies, including their bones, turning into a pool of blue toxic liquid.

The man in white was taken aback, an alchemist? It seemed that this child truly was not one of the master's people. He relaxed his grip, tossed the broad sword aside, and coldly looked at A-Dai, saying: "I will temporarily believe you. Where is the medicine? Bring it here." He thought to himself, since he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer anyway, it was better to give it a try; perhaps it could improve his condition, at worst, it would just be death.

A fool looked left and right, unable to discern that the middle-aged man before him was a bad person. He naively thought that those dressed in black earlier must be the villains, while this man in white was merely killing for self-preservation. Save him, and also help Professor Goris test whether the method of suppressing the Wuer Holy Water was effective. However, he did not consider whether it would be detrimental to him if the man in white woke up.

I live nearby! I just went to get some medicine. You have been poisoned by the Wuer Holy Water, and you must be treated quickly.

The foolishly dazed individual attempted to turn around, but the power of the sword suddenly intensified, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

Ah Dou shook his head and said honestly, "I cannot solve it, but my teacher has a method to temporarily suppress the toxicity, preventing it from manifesting."

After listening to A-Dai's explanation, the man in white couldn't help but believe a little more. Gritting his teeth, he swallowed the silver ball in one gulp.

Upon hearing A-Dai's words, the man in white could not help but be greatly astonished, exclaiming, "What? You can neutralize the immense poison of the Two Holy Waters?"

"Wait a moment." The man in white called out to Ah Dui. "You are called Ah Dui, right? Little friend, you saved me. Do you have any requests?" As the proud 'King of the Underworld', he could not allow himself to owe anyone a favor. At the same time, he wanted to test whether this foolish little child had any ulterior motives.

Thud, thud. Without any warning, the two men in black on the far right silently collapsed. Their bodies seemed to have been drained, instantly turning into desiccated corpses

The man in white took the silver ball and was momentarily stunned. Such a heavy object, is it edible? He asked, "Is this the medicine?"

The fire meteor is already approaching the intermediate level of magic. Moreover, after using the flame technique for a long time today, Ah Dui felt quite fatigued after practicing for a while. Sitting on the steps at the entrance of the wooden cabin, leaning against the wooden wall beside him, he fell asleep involuntarily

The man in white remained completely still, still trembling slightly. Ah Dui thought in a daze that this person must be the one referred to by Teacher Goriss, someone with profound abilities. He must have suppressed the toxicity of the Wuyuan Holy Water within him to endure until now. Although Teacher Goriss had not found an antidote for the Wuyuan Holy Water, he had devised a method to temporarily counteract its toxicity, but he had been unable to conduct experiments due to the lack of genuine Wuyuan Holy Water. Goriss had once said that if one could die under the Wuyuan Holy Water, it would be considered a form of blessing. He felt deep regret for not having truly experimented with the method to suppress its toxicity.

The fool, accompanied by the white-clad figure known as "The King of the Underworld," quickly arrived at the wooden cabin. Upon seeing everything before him, "The King of the Underworld" couldn't help but exclaim in awe, "Did your teacher create all of this? He must be a master-level alchemist. Indeed, what an exquisite design for the magic circle!"

The voice of Mie Yi remained deep, yet it carried a tremor. "You, you, the Underworld King Sword, is it the Underworld Flash?" The earlier earth-shattering attack had long since robbed him of his will. The cold, malevolent energy continuously assaulted the meridians within his body. He no longer had any confidence to contend with the person before him. He was not afraid of death, but he was unwilling to make a meaningless sacrifice.

Ah Dou shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong! Alright, I have to go now. I made a mess of the teacher's laboratory, and I must hurry back to tidy it up; otherwise, when he returns in a few days, he will definitely scold me." After saying this, he turned and walked towards the direction of the wooden house.

Finally, Ah Dui reached the side of the man in white. He crouched down and carefully observed the man. The man's face was covered with a layer of white veil, with only two small holes for his eyes. His body was slightly convulsing.

The malevolent energy receded, and the group of black-clad individuals returned to their previous positions, while the figure in white remained standing before the broad sword, as if they had never left their original spot.

The man in white was taken aback by his question and replied in a hoarse voice, "Do you really want to help me suppress the immense toxicity of the Wuer Holy Water?" He was now at the end of his strength, having used almost all of his true energy to contain the poison. The weight of the broad sword was considerable, and his arm was already trembling slightly.

The man in white sat cross-legged on the ground, half-believing as he followed the method suggested by A-Dai to channel his true energy. Indeed, as A-Dai had said, the chaotic poisonous gas, upon coming into contact with the range of the silver sphere, was drawn in, completely controlled within a small area, eliminating the need for him to exert all his strength to suppress it. He enveloped the gathered poisonous gas with a layer of his strongest true energy, thus preventing the gradual infiltration into his body as described by A-Dai. In a certain sense, the toxicity of the Wuer Holy Water, along with the books, posed no threat to him. However, he was also acutely aware that he needed to use fifty percent of his power to control the silver sphere and contain the toxicity, meaning he could no longer exert his full strength in the future.

"Alright, I will leave after taking a break," the man in white thought to himself, wanting to see what kind of place this child named A-Dai lived in. The alchemist's home also held a certain allure for him. Most importantly, he wanted to understand why this child was unafraid of the malevolent aura emanating from his Death King Sword.

The mold had become scorching hot. Adai carefully placed the mold into the prepared water, and with a hissing sound, a plume of white smoke rose from the mold. Adai let out a sigh of relief, knowing that what he needed to create was now complete

The "King of the Underworld" nodded and, together with A-Dai, arrived at his simply furnished wooden cabin. The "King of the Underworld" was not polite; he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate. He had been in a state of tension for several days, and his body had been tormented by the Wuer Holy Water, so he truly needed to recuperate. A-Dai did not disturb him; instead, he went to the orchard and picked a basket of fruit, placing it beside the "King of the Underworld" before quietly retreating. Even now, he was still excited about successfully refining the silver ball today, which helped the "King of the Underworld" counteract the immense toxicity of the Wuer Holy Water. In fact, he had no idea that the method originally researched by Goriss was one that even he had little confidence in achieving, as it could only be realized under ideal conditions. The most crucial requirement was that the poisoned individual must possess exceptionally thick true energy. If an ordinary person were to be poisoned by the Wuer Holy Water, they would have long since turned into a puddle of blue water and died. Even a mage who cultivates mental power would be unable to resist this top-ranked poison on the continent.

If an ordinary person were to be poisoned by the Wuer Holy Water, they would have long since turned into a puddle of blue water and died. Even a mage who cultivates mental power would be unable to resist this top-ranked poison on the continent. The person referred to as the "King of the Underworld" in front of A-Dai was undoubtedly one of the top experts on the continent. Only someone of his caliber could realize Goriss's ideal state, continuously controlling the silver ball and the poison with true energy to prevent its spread. However, even so, in order to control the silver ball, the "King of the Underworld" had expended nearly fifty percent of his power.

So heavy! A-Dai exerted all his strength to pull, but he only managed to move the man in white a little. After trying several more times, he still could not move his body much. What should he do? A-Dai squatted beside the man in white, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat there in a daze, unsure of what to do.

The man in white chuckled self-deprecatingly and murmured to himself, "I never expected that even I, the 'King of the Underworld,' would have a day where I need to rely on deception to save my life." He swayed slightly, grasped the broad sword in front of him to steady himself, and exclaimed, "What a powerful Wuer Holy Water! Am I going to die here?" His body weakened, and he collapsed to the side

Ah Dou shook his head and said, "No. This is my first time making medicine. I have seen my teacher make other medicines before, but I followed the formula in my teacher's notes exactly. My teacher is a truly great alchemist"

"Teacher, please do not blame A-Dai when you return! I used your things only to save someone." The simple-minded A-Dai could not forget the instructions given by Goriss at that time

Ah Dou nodded and said, "Indeed!"

Upon realizing this, Ah Dai no longer hesitated. He clearly understood that the longer he delayed, the less hope there would be for the person before him. He exerted himself to lift the arm of the man in white, resting it on his own narrow shoulder

The person in white pressed on, "Do you have confidence in this?"

Ah Dou nodded and said, "Yes, this is the medicine. The teacher's notes state that this medicine is only suitable for those with profound skills. After swallowing it, the silver sphere will automatically absorb the immense toxicity of the Wuyi Holy Water in the vicinity, preventing it from spreading. However, due to the presence of silver mother components, it is necessary to support it with some true energy within the body to avoid it pressing against the internal organs. Unfortunately, this substance cannot completely absorb the toxicity of the Wuyi Holy Water; otherwise, it would truly neutralize the poison. Although the toxicity of the Wuyi Holy Water is gathered together, it will still slowly seep into your body. Therefore, this method can only suppress the toxicity." Although the toxicity of the Wuyi Holy Water is gathered together, it will still slowly seep into your body. Therefore, this method can only suppress the toxicity.

Originally, the man in white managed to suppress the toxicity of the Wuyi Divine Water with his pure true energy. However, in order to drive away the group of men in black, he had no choice but to mobilize his true energy and employ his ultimate skill, causing the toxicity to become uncontainable. He could no longer hold on.

The narrow swords of eleven men in black simultaneously gathered different colors of fighting spirit, as if they were waiting for something

A fool paused for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I have no particular demands, but could you kill fewer people in the future? Although they are bad people, if you kill them, they won't be able to eat steamed buns anymore"

Goris had never told A-Dai what a magic circle was. A-Dai only heard that the person in white was praising his teacher, and immediately laughed, saying: "Yes, my teacher is really amazing. You must be tired, so let me take you to rest first, and then I'll find you something to eat. A nap might help you feel better."

"Who are you?" A deep voice sounded from behind, belonging to the man in white.

Letting out a long breath, the man in white opened his eyes. Ah Dui asked anxiously, "How is it? How is it? Is my teacher's method effective?"

"Not dead." The fool sat down in shock, is this person still alive?

The "Pluto" nodded and said: "Yes! Are you very tired? Go back to your room and sleep. It is already dark outside"

After a while, Ah Dui gradually regained consciousness. He slowly stood up and walked step by step towards the person in white. He wanted to see what would happen after someone consumed the revered and unparalleled holy water that Ge Li Si held in such high esteem.

The man in white hesitated for a moment, then called out to A-Dai again, saying: "Could you take me to your place to rest for a while? I am completely exhausted and need to eat something and have a good rest; otherwise, my energy will be insufficient, and I won't be able to control the silver ball."

The expression on the white-clad person's face softened considerably, and with a slight nod, they said: "It is much better now, thank you, little friend"

The man in white let out a cold snort, and a chillingly malevolent aura rapidly spread from him as the center. Within a radius of one hundred meters, the trees of the Enchanted Forest trembled slightly, and the rustling of the leaves seemed to be their moans.

A flash of joy passed through the white-clad man's eyes as he coldly said: "So, you heard my previous conversation with those fellows. Why did you save me?" A chilling aura of murderous intent emanated from his body; despite being deeply troubled by the Sacred Water of No Two, he could still easily kill the weak life before him

The "King of the Underworld" suddenly sighed and said, "Since you are so stubborn and unyielding, do not blame me for being ruthless." He casually thrust the five-foot-long broad sword into the ground, with more than half of the blade silently embedded in the soil. His right hand touched the area of his chest as he quietly gazed at the eleven black-clad figures before him

Although it was merely a simple action, it caused the eleven men in black to exhibit an unusual aversion, simultaneously retreating three steps and raising the narrow swords in their hands. Their eyes revealed a look of terror, as if they had witnessed something horrifying.

Ah Dui wiped the sweat from his forehead with his other hand, exhaled deeply, and after using the flame spell for an hour, his magical power was nearing its limit. Finally, most of the moisture had evaporated, and Ah Dui looked with satisfaction at the viscous silver liquid before him. He took a silver mold from the cabinet and carefully poured the liquid from the cauldron into the mold.

After leaving the wooden house, Ah Dui first restored the laboratory to its original state, and then focused intently on practicing his fire meteor technique outside. He has nearly mastered this magic, but its power is still too weak; even if multiple meteors hit at the same time, it is difficult to cause any significant damage. Each individual member of the fire meteor is a small fireball slightly larger than a spark, and apart from leaves, it is unlikely to even burn through ordinary leather.

The tip of the sword was pointed at A-Dai's chest, and the man in white repeated, "Who are you?" It turned out that even before A-Dai left, the man in white had already regained consciousness. However, he had to use all his strength to suppress the toxicity of the Wuer Holy Water, leaving him with no energy to resist at that moment. He only knew that there was another person nearby, and this person did not seem to have any intention of harming him, even pulling him a couple of times. After A-Dai left, he managed to regain control over the toxicity, but he knew that with his current physical condition, he could not go far, so he simply drew the broad sword hidden nearby. When A-Dai returned, what he saw was a small, excited child with a face full of enthusiasm, and without any martial skills, his guard instinctively relaxed.

I, I am A-Dai. " A-Dai said timidly

Ah Dou scratched his head and said, "I can't say for sure, it might be because you don't look like a bad person, while those dressed in black don't seem like good people. However, you were quite terrifying when you killed, the surroundings were so cold."

"Wait a moment. Lord Hades, do you really still possess the ability to wield the Sword of Hades?"

Due to continuous practice, Ah Dai has now become quite proficient in his flame technique. After ten months of deep contemplation, he can easily control the temperature of the flames, and in a short while, the water has already reached a boil. Ah Dai knows that among these materials, only the silver mother is difficult to melt, so he placed some specially made, non-medicinal quick-melting powder from Ge Li Si on the silver mother. Even so, it still took about an hour to completely fuse all the materials together.

Even so, it still took about an hour to completely fuse all the materials together

Ah! We can't pull him back; let's just save him right here. How foolish. A fool tapped his own head and turned to run towards the wooden cabin.

The man in white smiled slightly and said, "It won't happen. If your teacher knew that you saved someone, he would praise you without hesitation. Moreover, you must see your rescue through to the end. If you leave me here and those bad people come back, I will still be in danger!"

In a short while, the mold had completely cooled down. Ah Dai carefully took the mold out and opened it on the table, revealing ten small silver balls in his view. A faint fragrance emanated from the silver balls. Ah! Wonderful, it worked. He grabbed one of the silver balls and quickly ran out. More than an hour had passed, and he wondered how that person in white was doing.

The fool scratched his head. Although the killing intent emanating from the man in white made him quite uncomfortable, he felt that the other party did not seem to harbor any real malice. "Does saving someone also require a reason?"

Should I save him? The kind thoughts in Ah Dui's heart gradually began to rise. He carefully removed the veil from the face of the man in white. A thin and handsome middle-aged face appeared before him. The man in white had fair skin, with two sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, a straight nose, and a square mouth. A faint layer of blue aura covered his face, which seemed to be continuously rising. The man in white gritted his teeth tightly, seemingly trapped in endless pain.

The man in white said coldly: "Do you think that after being struck by the Sacred Water of No Two, I can no longer wield the Sword of the Underworld? Since you have pushed me too far, do not blame me for being impolite."

"Fool, wake up, wake up." It was unclear how much time had passed, but Ah Dui felt someone slapping his face and groggily came to. Upon opening his eyes, he saw the white-clad figure he had rescued, "King of the Underworld." At this moment, his complexion had improved significantly, and the bluish hue on his face had completely vanished, indicating that he had evidently gained full control over the toxicity of the Wuer Holy Water.

Mie Yi glanced at the mummified bodies of Mie Liu and Mie Shi, gritted his teeth, and said with hatred, "Take their bodies. We are leaving." He sprang into the air on one foot, floating to the body of Mie Shi, who had died under the broad sword of the man in white, and picked him up. The remaining black-clad individuals said nothing; two of them tucked the mummified bodies of Mie Liu and Mie Shi under their arms. The other nine maintained a neat formation as they slowly retreated, disappearing into the mist.

With a foolish smile, he said: "No need to thank me, no need to thank me, as long as it is effective. However, you must maintain the silver sphere suspended within your body; if the poison gas spreads, it may lead to a more severe outbreak. I am leaving now, goodbye." Saying this, he stood up contentedly, rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders, and turned to walk into the mist.

A-Dai then noticed that it was getting late, and the night was accompanied by thick fog, exuding a hint of mystery. Standing up, A-Dai stretched his somewhat stiff body and walked towards the room. He had originally planned to let the man in white leave as soon as he had rested. However, upon seeing how dark it had become, he dismissed that thought; after all, it was very easy to get lost walking through the forest at night. It would be better to let him stay here for the night.

When Ah Dui ran back to the place where the man in white had fainted, that man had unexpectedly vanished, along with the broad sword that was embedded in the ground. Ah Dui stood there in a daze, feeling somewhat at a loss.
