Just as Cale was about four or five meters away from the Black Poison King, the mouth of the fire-red snake opened wide, spewing out a cloud of red poisonous mist.
Cale’s face drastically changed, and he quickly held his breath, tiptoed, and halted his forward movement, swiftly retreating.
Once he was out of the range of the red poisonous mist, Cale dared to breathe normally again, but his expression became even darker and more ugly.
Since close combat wasn’t working out, it was time for a ranged attack!
Cale pressed his fingers together, and golden light condensed at the tips of his index and middle fingers.
“Just a Martial Cultivator at the Great Martial Master level dares to act arrogantly in front of this Witchcraft King!” Black Poison King sneered disdainfully, not taking Cale’s imminent attack seriously.
Cale pointed his right hand like a sword, aiming at the Black Poison King.
The golden light that had gathered at his fingertips instantly dissipated.
At the same time, Cale’s face suddenly turned blood-red.
Not only that, but his exposed neck and hands also began to turn crimson.
Following that, Cale experienced a strong burning sensation, as if he were being roasted over a fire.
“What’s going on? I didn’t inhale the poisonous mist at all!” Cale’s handsome face displayed a look of great shock, and even a hint of fear appeared in the depths of his pupils.
Black Poison King smirked triumphantly, “Kid, you’re too naive. Do you think you’ll be fine if you don’t inhale the poisonous mist? My poison can enter your body through the skin! Now you can die!”
Black Poison King struck his cane, and the fire-red snake coiled around it transformed into a swift arrow. Two sharp venomous fangs were exposed as it shot towards Cale.
Due to the distance, Thunder Dragon, Fire Rose, and the others had no time to come to Cale’s rescue.
At the critical moment, Leo swung out a blade of energy.
The fire-red snake was split in half by the energy blade in mid-air, falling to the ground. However, it didn’t die but wriggled a few times before its body automatically recombined. It then flew back into the sleeve of the Black Poison King.
Cale, tormented by the intense heat, showed a complex expression when he saw that Leo had saved him.
Cale’s face turned even more terrifyingly blood-red. Despite his efforts to suppress the internal energy within his body, the scorching sensation persisted, devouring his internal organs.
Cale reached his limit. While screaming in agony, he began tearing off his luxurious white robe.
“Profound Ice Cocoon, go!” Juliet flipped her right hand, and a translucent, crystalline cocoon-like object appeared in her hand. She then swung it towards Cale.
The Profound Ice Cocoon landed on Cale’s neck and opened its tiny mouth, biting down on his neck.
As the Profound Ice Cocoon changed from translucent to red, the blood-red color on Cale’s face and body quickly receded.
Such a small larva-like creature could actually consume all the toxins within Cale’s body. It was truly miraculous.
In less than a minute, the toxins in Cale’s body were completely eliminated by the Profound Ice Cocoon.
Cale, now restored to normal, looked at the Black Poison King with a deep sense of fear in his eyes.
It wasn’t just Cale who felt apprehensive; Thunder Dragon, Fire Rose, and the others didn’t dare to easily make a move against the Black Poison King.
“Juliet, thank you.” Cale, having escaped death, expressed his gratitude to Juliet.
Juliet simply nodded slightly.
She had only joined WONDER a little over a month ago, and although she wasn’t acquainted with Cale, they were still colleagues, and she couldn’t just stand by and watch him die.
The well-fed Profound Ice Cocoon flew back into Juliet’s hand.
Cale glanced at Leo again and wanted to express his gratitude, but his lips moved, and in the end, he didn’t say anything.
“Captain Thunder Dragon, Black Poison King is powerful and treacherous. Let everyone step back and watch. I will personally kill him to avenge my Granny!” Juliet stared fixedly at the Black Poison King, speaking in a cold voice.
“Juliet, let me help you deal with him!” Chad hurriedly said.
“No need. You’re not familiar with the methods of Witchcraft Masters, and you’re susceptible to attacks.” Juliet decisively shook her head.
Thunder Dragon knew that Juliet was speaking the truth, and to avoid causing trouble, he decided to follow Juliet’s advice and commanded in a deep voice, “Everyone, step back. If Juliet is in danger, we’ll intervene then!”
“Juliet, even your Granny isn’t my match, let alone you. I advise you to let your companions help you, so that I can kill all of you together.” Black Poison King sneered.
Juliet fell silent and stored the Profound Ice Cocoon inside her body. Her jet-black hair began turning white, like snow and ice.
Juliet’s beautiful face became as exquisite as an ice sculpture, and a red, peculiar mark appeared on her forehead, emanating a powerful aura.
“Extreme Cold Snow Domain!” Juliet shouted.
Her body suddenly erupted with astonishing cold air, rapidly lowering the temperature in the surroundings.
Crack…!
On the ground, ice rapidly spread, covering all the flowers, plants, and trees within a twenty-meter radius with a layer of chilling ice, resembling ice sculptures.
The astonishing cold air, centered around Juliet, swept toward the Black Poison King in front.
“I didn’t expect you to develop the Extreme Cold Snow Domain with the help of the Profound Ice Cocoon! I heard that being within the Extreme Cold Snow Domain would freeze one’s blood, hinder movement, and render them unable to resist. However, this move of yours has no effect on me.”
Black Poison King sneered and opened his mouth. The fire-red snake hidden within his sleeve slithered out and quickly climbed upward before swiftly entering Black Poison King’s mouth.
As the strange snake entered his body, a crimson aura suddenly emanated from Black Poison King, as if flames were burning on him.
At the same time, a blood-red snake-shaped mark appeared on the Black Poison King’s forehead.
This miraculous technique was called the Fusion Witchcraft Technique, the most commonly used method for Witchcraft Masters to enhance their own strength.
The approaching cold air touched the crimson aura emanating from the Black Poison King and dissipated into nothingness amid a series of sizzling sounds.
“Juliet, today I’ll let you witness the power of the Blaze Mystic Snake!”
Black Poison King laughed eerily as he flipped his palm, and a mass of crimson aura rose into the air.
The crimson aura quickly transformed into a red snake in mid-air.
With its mouth wide open, the snake with sharp fangs descended from the sky, targeting Juliet.
Fearless, Juliet extended her right hand upward and flicked her finger towards the descending snake.
Several shimmering threads of crystal-clear silk shot towards the descending snake.
In an instant, the snake was entangled by the silk threads. Juliet immediately closed her fingers, causing the threads to contract, and the snake immediately dissipated into red aura, dispersing into the air.
Just then, a figure suddenly flashed.
The next second, the black snake-headed cane was already aimed at Juliet’s white neck.
