Chapter 0222 – The Chess Match – Absolute Return

"I know." The Extremely Evil Laughing Demon said indifferently, with a hint of imperceptible playfulness in his tone.</p>

Xu Dalong raised his head and met the gaze of the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon.</p>

He saw that the corners of the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon’s mouth, surprisingly, rose slightly, revealing a bizarre smile.</p>

This was the first time Xu Dalong had seen the smile of the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon, a smile that gave him the creeps.</p>

"Disciple knows I’m wrong, please punish Master!" Xu Dalong once again fell to his knees, his heart filled with fear.</p>

"In front of me, if you haven’t made a mistake, you would truly be making a big mistake." The Extremely Evil Laughing Demon said indifferently.</p>

When Xu Dalong heard this, he was like an amnesty, so he hurriedly got up and left the room as if he had fled.</p>

It wasn’t until he walked out of the room that Xu Dalong took a long breath of relief.</p>

Everything that happened just now was like a dream to him, full of incredulity.</p>

He had actually had such a long conversation with the most terrifying demon in the world, the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon!</p>

It made him feel excited and scared at the same time.</p>

”Big Brother Sword, come back quickly! If you don’t come back, your good brother will be in trouble!” Xu Dalong secretly prayed in his heart.</p>

On the third day after Jian Wuji and the Poison King were locked in the dungeon, the first "lucky winner" appeared.</p>

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"</p>

One of the prisoners suddenly went berserk, frantically slapping on the cell door, with guttural screams coming out of his mouth.</p>

Through the small window, Jian Wuji saw that the prisoner’s eyes, nostrils, as well as his ears were constantly bleeding, looking horrible to the extreme.</p>

The other inmates didn’t know what was going on and thought he was locked up mad and opened their mouths to taunt him.</p>

"Crazy! Stop screaming!"</p>

"Scream again and I’ll kill you!"</p>

However, the prisoner acted as if he hadn’t heard their warnings, still frantically slapping on the cell door, his screams becoming more and more dismal.</p>

"Damn it! That True Poison Jushi even used this kind of thing to harm people!" When the Poison King saw this scene, he was instantly enraged.</p>

True Poison Jushi seemed to have expected this to happen as he brought a few of his men and arrived at the dungeon unhurriedly.</p>

"I heard that someone refused to eat?" True Poison Jushi said as he walked over to the frenzied prisoner and watched his reaction with interest through the small window.</p>

When that prisoner saw the True Poison Jushi, he was like a wild beast that had gone berserk, and he frantically lunged at him, slamming his head against the iron door.</p>

"Bang! Bang!"</p>

With all his might, the prisoner banged his head against the iron door again and again, making a toothsome crashing sound.</p>

Blood continued to flow down his forehead, the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his eyes, coloring his entire face a blood-red color that looked horrifying to the extreme.</p>

However, True Poison Jushi was indifferent to this and only looked at him coldly, without the slightest hint of pity in his eyes.</p>

Eventually, the prisoner collapsed to the ground, out of breath, due to physical exhaustion.</p>

Seeing this, the several men behind True Poison Jushi immediately stepped forward and skillfully dragged the corpse out.</p>

True Poison Jushi didn’t pay any attention to the prisoner’s death, but continued to patrol up in the dungeon, observing the state of the inmates one by one.</p>

When he walked to Jian Wu Ji’s cell, his footsteps slightly lurched.</p>

Only to see that Jian Wuji was leaning against the corner of the wall, resting his eyes, without the slightest fluctuation of internal force on his body, he looked like an ordinary person.</p>

True Poison Jushi stared at Jian Wuji for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes before he averted his gaze and walked towards the next cell.</p>

The next cell held none other than the Poison King.</p>

The Poison King was originally sitting cross-legged in the center of the cell, and when he heard the commotion, he slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the True Poison Dweller.</p>

The gazes of the two men met in mid-air, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in the heart of the True Poison Jushi.</p>

‘He’s laughing at me?'</p>

True Poison Dweller was shocked in his heart and hastily averted his gaze, not daring to meet the Poison King’s eyes again.</p>

When the Poison King saw this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.</p>

True Poison Jushi held back the anger in his heart and continued to patrol the other cells.</p>

By the time he had made his rounds of all the cells and was ready to leave, he ghosted back to the Poison King’s cell and looked inside once more.</p>

This time, the Poison King had turned his back to him, seemingly contemplating with his eyes closed.</p>

True Poison Jushi stared at the Poison King’s back for a moment, his heart filled with doubts and uneasiness, but he could never figure out what he was worried about.</p>

"Let’s go." True Poison Dweller withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice.</p>

When True Poison Jushi and the others left, Jian Wuji immediately asked the Poison King through a voice transmission, "How is it?"</p>

"Of course it worked." There was a hint of smugness in the Poison King’s voice.</p>

"Worthy of being you, it’s truly amazing!" Jian Wuji heartily exclaimed.</p>

Just a moment ago, the Poison King had actually unknowingly detoxified him in front of the True Poison Jushi!</p>

One must know that the True Poison Jushi was the number one poison kung fu expert in the Evil Dao, and to be able to do this under his nose was simply unimaginable!</p>

"I merely moved slightly to suppress the ‘Berserk’ poison." The Poison King said modestly.</p>

"You are too modest! To be able to unknowingly detoxify others in close proximity, I’m afraid you’re the only one who can do it when looking at the entire Jianghu! You’re the real ‘Poison Supreme’!" Jian Wuji praised without mincing words.</p>

When the Poison King heard the words "Poison Eminence", a trace of joy that was hard to hide appeared on his face.</p>

"I’m just using a slight trick, it’s not worth mentioning, it’s not worth mentioning." Although the Poison King said this on his lips, he was happy in his heart.</p>

In order to make the Poison King even happier, Jian Wuji continued, "When we go out, I will definitely tell everyone about this, so that everyone will know how powerful you are! I’ll also tell Master that the Poison King’s poison technique is nothing short of an art!"</p>

"There is no need to be so troublesome ……" Although the Poison King said so on his mouth, he was happy in his heart.</p>

It seemed that he still cared about Jian Wuchen’s opinion.</p>

"Don’t worry, I will definitely tell Master about your valor, word for word!" Jian Wuji said with conviction.</p>

After the Poison King received Sword Wuji’s assurance, his confidence was doubled and his fighting spirit was high.</p>

"Every time that guy comes down, I’m going to move a little bit on him, so he can taste my power!" The Poison King said viciously.</p>

True Poison Jushi could never have dreamed that his self-righteous experiment would eventually turn out to be his own death knell.</p>

With the appearance of the second and third "lucky ones", the dungeon inmates finally realized that there was something wrong with the food they ate every day.</p>

So they began to refuse to eat.</p>

When the True Poisoner learned of this, he once again came to the dungeon.</p>

"I heard that someone refused to eat?" True Poison Dweller said coldly as he paced the dungeon.</p>

Although the inmates hated him to the bone, when they thought of the tragic situation of the blood serpent Yang Guang, they all dared to be angry and dared not say anything, and they could only silently lower their heads.</p>

"I advise you all to better eat obediently, otherwise, once I find out who dares to waste food, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" True Poison Jushi said coldly, his tone filled with threats.</p>

After saying that, he casually threw a carrot that had already rotted into the cell with a wave of his hand.</p>

"As long as you are obedient, when I finish my experiment, I will let you go, and maybe, some of you will even survive." True Poison Dweller seduced.</p>

The prisoners naturally wouldn’t believe his bullshit, but they also knew that in this dark dungeon, they had no choice but to be obedient.</p>

True Poison Jushi walked up to the Poison King’s cell, stopped, and looked in through the small window.</p>

"Open the door." True Poison Jushi said to his men on the side.</p>

"Yes." The men immediately stepped forward and opened the cell door.</p>

"Come out." True Poison Dweller said to the Poison King.</p>

The Poison King slowly stood up and walked out of the cell.</p>

This all happened so suddenly that even Jian Wuji didn’t react.</p>

"I feel very uncomfortable when I see you." True Poison Jushi stared at the Poison King and said coldly.</p>

As a fellow Evil Dao expert, True Poison Jushi sensed a hint of danger from the Poison King.</p>

He stretched out his finger and provocatively lifted the Poison King’s chin.</p>

"The look in your eyes, it annoys me." True Poison Jushi said.</p>

The Poison King didn’t have the slightest bit of fear on his face in the face of True Poison Jushi’s provocation.</p>

”Poison King, show some fear!” Jian Wuji was secretly anxious in his heart.</p>

But he knew that with the Poison King’s character, even if he did open his mouth to remind him, he wouldn’t listen to himself.</p>

True Poison Dweller slowly raised his right hand, making a gesture to slap the Poison King.</p>

Just then, Jian Wuji suddenly spoke, "You guys look so much alike."</p>

True Poison Dweller and Poison King turned their heads to look at Jian Wuji at the same time when they heard this.</p>

“What do you mean? We look alike?” True Poison Dweller and Poison King said in unison.
