Fifth Slap (7)

Jun Wu Xie's words left every single one of them dumbfounded, even Qiao Chu and Hua Yao were shocked.

When Ke Cang Ju had released the Lone Smoke earlier, both of them had pushed their spirit powers out from their bodies and created a protective shield around themselves. Although it could not totally keep the Lone Smoke out, it could at least slow down the poison's effects on them.

Even so, Qiao Chu and Hua Yao were not in very good shape. Wherever the Lone Smoke had seeped through and came into contact with their skin, it burned and felt like flames were licking them, as a stinging pain was felt. Their spirit powers could not completely keep the Lone Smoke out and their skin turned a glaring shade of red and the burn spreaded to attack their vital organs, engulfing them in burning agony.

But not Jun Wu Xie, she stood unaffected, her face not showing any signs of discomfort.

The stark contrast almost made Ke Cang Ju's eyes pop out of his head.
