After briefly explaining the Elixir’s effects,
he opened his mouth and, to the woman’s horror, popped the Elixir into his own mouth.
He himself was a demon who knew a thing or two about the Alchemy Technique.
He had analyzed this Elixir with his Demon Sense and confirmed there was nothing wrong with it.
Besides, Hu Qi had already taken his Spirit Medicine and was under his control.
Therefore, he wasn’t worried about any foul play.
The moment the Elixir entered his mouth,
it unexpectedly transformed into two streams of liquid, one cold and one hot, that slid down his throat and into his body.
In just an instant,
Ape Celestial Dragon felt a strange sensation in his lower body. It became incredibly stiff, as if encased in a layer of frost.
"Truly miraculous! It’s taking effect so quickly... Hmm? No, something’s wrong!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ape Celestial Dragon’s expression changed instantly. His eyes widened, his face a mask of disbelief.
He had discovered that the bizarre stiffness was spreading with extreme speed to the rest of his body.
Realizing this,
he hurriedly used Introspection, but the sight that greeted him made his blood run cold.
The liquid that had entered his body had transformed into hundreds of thread-like, unknown objects. Like roots, they were madly burrowing deep into his bones and flesh.
At this very moment,
even a fool would have understood that something was wrong.
’The Elixir is poisoned!?’
With no time to think,
his face darkened as he circulated his Demon Essence, trying to force it out.
However, no matter how he used his Demon Essence, he couldn’t expel it. He could only temporarily slow its spread.
Just then,
from beyond the beaded curtain,
came two dull thuds of something heavy hitting the floor.
Hearing the noise,
Ape Celestial Dragon’s heart tightened.
His gaze shot over.
The next moment,
a figure with the head of a snake and the body of a man walked in.
It was none other than Hu Qi.
Thinking of his own condition,
a flash of savage killing intent glinted in his eyes.
"Hmph? You dare appear before me? You’re courting death!"
He let out a low roar.
The next second,
he forcibly suppressed the feeling of stiffness in his body.
He raised a hand, conjured a vortex of water, and blasted it toward Hu Qi.
Suddenly,
a silver light bloomed in Hu Qi’s eyes. It was chilling, like the gleam of a sword, and utterly soul-stirring.
The moment it appeared, Ape Celestial Dragon’s body shuddered as if struck by a heavy blow.
Then, the divine light in his brass-colored pupils dimmed abruptly.
The water vortex he had conjured in his hand instantly collapsed, scattering into several rogue currents that shot out around him, slamming into the room’s furnishings with a series of crashes.
Meanwhile, Ape Celestial Dragon’s body stood frozen on the spot,
like a stone statue, completely motionless.
At that moment, if one could use Introspection on his body, they would discover that those threads had already taken over every part of him.
’A Demon King of the Nascent Element Level is impressive, as expected. If I hadn’t been so well-prepared, I might not have been able to take him down.’
Hu Qi chuckled lightly.
The so-called Giant Yang Locking Essence Two Forms Pill was, in reality, just an ordinary aphrodisiac elixir.
He had simply used Twisted Light to alter its appearance.
Twisted Light could distort anything, be it flesh and blood or inanimate objects.
It could also distort a creature’s perception, which was why his opponent hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
Inside the Elixir were threads created by the Celestial Silk Divine Techniques.
Once parasitized by or even just touched by the Celestial Silk, a target would become the caster’s Puppet.
However,
the power of a Divine Technique
is intrinsically linked to the caster.
With his current strength, trying to cross a major Realm to deal with a Nascent Element Realm Demon King was a bit of a stretch.
If he hadn’t used the Intention Sword to catch him off guard and inflict severe damage to his soul,
he really might not have been able to subdue him so quickly.
"Y-You... can you let me go? If I get out of here, I’ll reward you handsomely!"
Just then,
a woman’s voice sounded from the side.
