In the formation, only Enchanting Rogue was unaffected by the fragrant poison.
He possessed the Red Demon Flower and naturally had the antidote. Before appearing, he had already taken it.
Just as Enchanting Rogue, with a hungry look, approached within three meters of Seraphina, an icy white sword light slashed down towards him.
Enchanting Rogue’s face changed drastically; he hadn’t expected anyone else to be in the formation.
He quickly retreated, dodging the attack of the icy white sword light.
“Who dares to ruin my plans!?” Enchanting Rogue turned abruptly, looking towards the figure that had suddenly appeared.
“Enchanting Rogue, hand over the antidote!” Leo shouted angrily, holding a sword in his right hand.
Although the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus suppressed the fragrant poison in Leo’s body, the toxin of the Red Demon Flower was peculiar and still greatly affected his control over spiritual power.
“Who are you, and how did you get here!?” Enchanting Rogue didn’t recognize Leo at first and shouted angrily.
He had gone through so much trouble to find such a great opportunity, only to discover that besides him and Seraphina, there was a third person here.
Leo didn’t waste words and directly slashed out dozens of sword lights towards Enchanting Rogue.
Enchanting Rogue waved his fan, blocking all the icy white sword lights.
At the same time, Enchanting Rogue felt puzzled. This guy who suddenly appeared must have also been affected by the fragrant poison, but why could he still use spiritual power?
Leo knew his own suffering. Using spiritual power to attack just now had accelerated the spread of the toxin in his body, making him feel increasingly hot. The cold power released by the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus was struggling to suppress it.
“Kid, dare to ruin my plans? Then turn to ashes!” Enchanting Rogue said, pulling up his left sleeve.
On his left forearm was a flame mark resembling a tattoo.
Enchanting Rogue then used his right index finger to tap on the flame mark several times.
The flame mark suddenly jumped off his arm, transforming into a pink peach blossom in mid-air.
The appearance of the pink peach blossom instantly raised the surrounding temperature and emitted an evil aura.
Enchanting Rogue waved his right hand, and the pink peach blossom, filled with terrifying heat and evil aura, shot towards Leo.
The situation was dire; Leo had to end this quickly.
With a gesture of his right hand, an ice-carved lotus appeared in Leo’s hand.
The ice lotus rotated slowly, emitting a chilling coldness.
With the appearance of the ice lotus, the rising temperature around them quickly dropped again.
“This is…” The appearance of the ice lotus made Enchanting Rogue’s pupils contract sharply.
With a thought, Leo sent the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus as an icy white stream of light towards the pink peach blossom.
The Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus collided with the pink peach blossom in mid-air, and they quickly began to erode each other.
The pink peach blossom was no match for the Celestial Artifact Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus.
Within seconds, the pink peach blossom was visibly frozen.
Then, with a “bang,” it shattered into pieces.
“You… you actually possess a Celestial Artifact!” Enchanting Rogue’s face showed disbelief.
He had thought that summoning the pink peach blossom would be enough to burn Leo to death, but he hadn’t expected Leo to have an even more powerful Celestial Artifact.
After using the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus to kill Enchanting Rogue, Leo’s face turned red, and he panted heavily.
The lotus petal that had left its body dimmed slightly before returning to the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus.
The Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus then transformed into a stream of light and returned to Leo’s body.
Only then did the intense heat within Leo’s body get suppressed.
On the other side, Seraphina sighed in relief at seeing Enchanting Rogue turned into an ice sculpture, but her eyes grew more dazed.
Leo flashed over to the ice sculpture that was once Enchanting Rogue.
With a kick, he shattered the ice sculpture into pieces.
Then Leo grabbed Enchanting Rogue’s Storage Sack from his waist.
Using his spiritual sense, he erased Enchanting Rogue’s imprint on it and checked its contents.
Enchanting Rogue’s wealth was considerable. There were piles of Spirit Stones, various spiritual weapons, Spirit Herbs, scrolls, precious ores, and dozens of bottles containing different pills.
Leo inspected each pill bottle with his spiritual sense but found no antidote among them.
Without an antidote, there was a big problem.
Heat surged uncontrollably in Leo’s lower abdomen, and his skin turned red all over.
“No antidote… what now…” Leo’s face turned grim.
His eyes involuntarily shifted towards Seraphina.
To Leo, Seraphina’s delicate body looked like an oasis to a dying man in a desert.
At that moment, Seraphina’s gaze also uncontrollably turned towards Leo; her lips were blood-red.
“No, no, I can’t do that!” Leo forcefully suppressed his desires and sat cross-legged on the ground, desperately urging the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus.
However, the Red Demon Flower’s potency was terrifying; the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus’s suppressive effect kept diminishing.
Soon, Leo struggled to maintain control. Not only did he feel unbearably hot, but it also seemed like countless ants were crawling on him.
Seraphina’s condition was worse without the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus’s suppression. If not for her strong willpower, she might have lost her sanity already.
“So hot… so hot…”
As Leo struggled to hold on, Seraphina’s soft moan echoed.
That moan was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Leo’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide; they were blood-red and filled with confusion.
“It’s over… I can’t control myself anymore!” Leo roared inwardly.
