Chapter 257: The Chosen One

After Wu Xuanyuan's death, the venom in the poison pool began to change rapidly, winding into a whirlpool, and then, flowing towards Wu Xuanyuan's body at an extremely fast speed. From his ears, from his mouth, into his body. A moment later, the bottom of the trial ground was empty, and only Wu Xuanyuan was standing.

"Great! The Poison Pool Trial has been successful!"

Dean Wu couldn't help but get up from his seat and come to the podium. "In this year's Poison Pool Trial, the winner is ......"

"Why ......"

Just as he was about to announce the final result, in the empty trial ground, Wu Xuanyuan's voice carried a chill that was cold to the bone marrow.

The dean was stunned for a moment. Wu Xuanyuan raised his head, his eyes shocked the dean's heart, it was a look that could devour people's souls like the Hell Hades.

"Why are they all dead? Why didn't anyone tell me...... They're going to die, why!"

Wu Xuanyuan's cry seemed to be an indictment of this trial, and there was unrelieved pathos in his voice.

"Hmm......" beads of sweat oozed from the dean's gray temples.

During his tenure as a teacher, it was inevitable that some people would complain about this cruel trial method, but it was the first time that Wu Xuanyuan had brought him such a strong sense of oppression and a bad premonition. However, after all, the dean is a person who has experienced this kind of scene many times, and he still said in a calm tone:

"Only the strong are qualified to climb to the top, and the weak can only become the cornerstone under the feet of the strong - this is the creed of our Wu clan. Although the Wu clan has few people, on the mainland, it has a reputation that everyone fears, relying on this. Don't have pity on the weak, it's their honor to be a part of your strength!"

"That's a good point. ”

Wu Xuanyuan sneered, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a trace of evil. "It is the honor of the weak to be the cornerstone of the strong. That's what the Dean said, right?"

"Uh, that's good. ”

The dean obviously didn't understand what he meant, and before the dean could react, Wu Xuanyuan raised his hand suddenly, and a highly poisonous liquid rushed out of his cuff, like a poisonous snake, and scurried onto the dean's face.

"Ahh

The Dean's hands frantically crazed in the air, and the venom quickly corroded the skin on his face, revealing pale bones.

He didn't dare to touch it with his fingers, because he knew that it was a poison that would corrode his skin if he touched it even a little. The venom continued to flow downward, and in a few moments, it eroded through his throat, and the blood drenched his shoulders like a waterfall, and finally he fell to the ground in a miserable state.

(Wu Xuanyuan: "Don't you slap your face?")

"Ah......" The village chief on the side was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly stood up from his seat.

There was a commotion in the audience, people screamed and wanted to escape, but Wu Xuanyuan had already launched a large-scale poisonous mist attack, and the intense poison gradually rose, spreading layer by layer over the audience and spreading to the roof of the trial ground.

In the center of the poisonous mist, he smiled insolently and said:

"When you watch the trial, your expressions are very good, right? You must have acquiesced to this rule in your heart, right? So, you don't mind, become the cornerstone ......of the strong, right?"

The thick poisonous mist was surging, and soon, everyone in the trial ground had already returned to the Western Heavens, and the spirit was absorbed by Wu Xuanyuan, and none of them could escape.

Wu Xuanyuan picked up the crystal ball from the ground, like a black ghost, and slowly walked out of the door of the trial ground.

At this time, he had absorbed the power of the dean, the village head, and half of the people in the village, and his appearance had completely changed, as if he had become an adult. So much so that when he walked out of the door, the guards couldn't identify him and let him go in a daze.

Wu Xuanyuan had just taken a few steps, and a poisonous mist was returned to his hand, and the guards also fell to the ground and died, their mana flowing into Wu Xuanyuan's body.

Standing at the entrance of the village, he raised his arms and looked at the streets and houses, and two giant pythons were stirred up in his sleeves, extending and swimming, and pouring into the village. Soon, the empty village fell silent, and the souls of the dead hovered in the poisonous fog and became his power.

After doing all this, he held up the crystal ball in his left hand and looked sadly:

"Momoko, you're not wrong at all...... The world is inherently lonely. ”

Two lines of cold tears crossed his cheeks, and his already closed heart could no longer feel sadness and pain, only endless indifference. The images in the crystal ball flicker alternately, reflecting scenes from the past.

At this moment, in the silent southern forest, Wu Xuanyuan, who was standing in front of Yifeng, was staring at the crystal ball. The night was as dark as water, the wind whimpered, and the cold crescent moon hung overhead.

Wu Xuanyuan, who returned to the child's form, lost the sharpness in his expression, his eyes were only sad, and he gently stroked the crystal ball in his palm, as if talking to it:

"For so many years, I've lived in a skin that doesn't belong to me, and I've long forgotten who I am...... I want to become stronger, to stand on the apex of all magicians, and to be feared by everyone. I pretended to work for the Terrible and gained an admirable position. I did, but so what?......

"I'm pursuing these because I don't know what to pursue. The world I love has been shattered a long time ago......"

The crystal ball flashes with the good old days, and the after...... The scene of Wu Xuanyuan fighting with many powerful magicians, everywhere he passed, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the souls of the dead were screaming. Countless villages have fallen in the poisonous fog, and countless people have turned into pus. However, he never knew where he was going......

He withdrew his sad gaze, raised his head, and looked at Yifeng:

"Why would you guess that I wasn't dead?"

Yi Feng sneered, "I heard ten years ago that you were beheaded by Yun Lan and did not die, and at that time, I had been speculating. Today my conjecture was finally confirmed. Your real body is so much shorter than the fake body, and the fake body is cut off, of course, it can't hurt you. ”

"Huh. Wu Xuanyuan smiled bitterly. "Back then, you were a milky child, and I was the most powerful poison mage on the continent. I can't believe that now, I am actually planted in your hands. ”

"Cause and effect are rewarded. Yi Feng's words were not emotional.

At this time, another image appeared in his crystal ball, a man with a black scythe in his hand, standing on a pile of corpses, the roots of the black wings had begun to fork into the four wings, and the earth and sky behind him were chaotic, not looking like a scene from the human world, but like hell.

He .......

Wu Xuanyuan looked stunned, and then smiled with relief.

"As for who the demon king is, I have always been divining, and I have also suspected three people. You, Shadow Fiend, Ling Xi. However, this kid was missed. The Shadow Demon is the descendant of the Night Family, the master of the Demon Realm, he has only been to the Human Realm once, but he has entered the range of my Heavenly Eye. ”
