Chapter 2142 - 2135: Hah! Spit

Boom!

Thunder flickered in the sky, and dense rain clouds had already covered the entire city of Shayancheng’s sky, as if the whole sky was about to collapse at any moment.

However, for the soldiers of Shayancheng, whether it’s raining or not doesn’t affect their patrols and drills. Getting soaked a few times is hardly bothersome for soldiers above the Beginner level, and there’s no chance of catching a cold or fever. At most, it’s just a matter of taking a shower and changing clothes after changing shifts.

"Teacher, you’re amazing!" Karon looked at Zhang Menglong with utmost admiration. "When will you teach me this ability to call the wind and summon the rain? I want to learn too!"

"Maybe next time when I’m free!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I need to go poison now."

"How to poison? Are you planning to poison this rain?" Karon said in shock. In theory, it was indeed a good method, allowing the poison to infiltrate into the soldiers’ bodies through the rain, without anyone noticing, and by the time they realize, it’s already too late.

But how can one poison rain?

"You guys move farther away!" Zhang Menglong advised, "I’m afraid I might poison you otherwise."

This time, Karon and Xiwat retreated almost without hesitation to a distance of a hundred meters away. They were here to poison, but they didn’t want the unexecuted poison to take them down first.

Once Zhang Menglong saw that the two had walked far enough, he slowly closed his eyes. He was mobilizing a particular energy within his body.

A purple pattern slowly emerged on his forehead, Zhang Menglong suddenly opened his eyes, "Heavenly Poison Body! Activate!"

In an instant, countless purple gases spread from the pores of Zhang Menglong’s body. You could say almost anywhere there was an opening on his body, purple smoke was coming out, including his mouth, nostrils, and even the skin folds.

The mist touching the surrounding rocks instantly made the rock surfaces turn completely black. When it contaminated plants, they began to wither and die visibly fast. Centered on Zhang Menglong’s body, everything surrounding him seemed to be dying, even the few birds flying through the sky fell down.

The Heavenly Poison Body is an even more terrifying constitution than that of the poison bodies found in novels. Anyone with such a constitution becomes the most dreadful poison in the world, as ordinary people will die immediately upon contact, even Transcenders won’t last long amidst such poison vapor.

After a moment, the poisonous mist began to retract, Zhang Menglong was using this constitution’s ability for the first time and couldn’t control it skillfully yet. After getting slightly accustomed to it, he managed to control these poisons easily.

"You can come over now!" Zhang Menglong waved to the two.

But Karon and Xiwat seemed to reach some agreement not to approach Zhang Menglong, fearing that getting even slightly close would cause them to melt.

"What a fuss!" Zhang Menglong, not bothered with them anymore, flew straight up into the sky, reaching above the height of the rain clouds.

"This poison can’t be too strong, otherwise, everyone would be poisoned to death."

"But it can’t be too weak either, or else not a single one would be knocked down."

...

Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, as if he was brewing something.

A moment later, he opened his mouth.

"Heh! Tui!"

A phlegm as thick as a five-hundred-year-old was spat out from his mouth directly into the clouds right in front of him, where the poison instantly began dispersing through the cloud, merging into each water molecule.

Then he repeated the method towards another cloud.

"Heh! Tui!"

"Heh! Tui!"

...

It’s fortunate that Xiwat and Karon weren’t there in person, or else they might have spat out their New Year’s Eve dinner, as on Earth, such low-quality behavior would be criticized by any street cleaner if they saw it!

Though the city was large, for Zhang Menglong, it was nothing more than spitting a few hundred times. But towards the end, he was almost unable to spit anymore and could only use some saliva droplets instead.

A few minutes later, Zhang Menglong gracefully returned to the ground and simultaneously released the poison body.

"Teacher, why does your face look a bit pale?" Karon asked with extreme concern.

"Nothing, just spat too much phlegm and saliva and I’m a bit low on oxygen!"

"Ah?" Karon was taken aback.

"No, what I meant is that releasing the poison consumed too much of my energy and physical strength, so I’m now a bit weak, just need to rest a bit and I’ll be fine."

"Oh," Karon still cast a suspicious glance at Zhang Menglong, his face showing uncertainty, wondering if it was truly due to excessive consumption.

"Alright, it’s going to rain soon, you be careful not to get caught in the rain!"

Shortly after, a drizzle began in the sky, within minutes it escalated to full rain, pouring down on the ground.

The Mansha Kingdom already lay in a very humid area, frequently subject to sudden downpours. Such occasions the soldiers are accustomed to, they let the rain strike their bodies as they continue patrolling and training.

The poison in the rain is colorless and tasteless, but the molecules move exceptionally actively. When the raindrops adhere to their skin surfaces, the poison immediately infiltrates their body, though everyone is still oblivious now, after several hours they’ll start feeling weak all over, not to mention fighting, even standing up will be challenging!

Zhang Menglong made a grand gesture, "Let’s go! We’ll find a place to sleep, and come back tomorrow!"

...

Just as Zhang Menglong expected, from midnight onwards, the entire capital flooded with a sickly atmosphere, as if it just went through an epidemic.

The soldiers patrolling the streets suddenly felt their bodies weaken, legs losing strength, many of them collapsing directly onto the ground.

Even those who didn’t get caught in the rain, as a large amount of steam evaporated into the air, their bodies were more or less invaded by the poison, making them feel uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, the mastermind of all this was still enjoying a good sleep.

...

Shayancheng’s imperial palace had lost its usual glory, the palace now seemed like a prison. All Royal Family members had been imprisoned within their chambers by the rebels. Although they were presently safe and didn’t need to worry, they were already at others’ mercy, akin to prisoners.

The Emperor of Mansha Empire sat at his usual place for handling governmental matters, with a decree on the table.

Beside him was a middle-aged man who instantly struck one as a scheming old minister. His name was Chaimet, originally the State Preceptor of the Mansha Kingdom, wielded significant influence over major court affairs, and those generals advocating for peace were all his confidants.

"Emperor, we’re running out of patience. If you immediately write the decree to abdicate, we promise we won’t hurt any of the Royal Family members, and guarantee a life of glory and wealth for all of you, how about that?" Chaimet toyed with the Jade Seal on the table.

The Jade Seal was very special, only someone from the Royal Family could unlock it using a Soul Seal, otherwise, even if the Emperor of Mansha Kingdom was killed, it would be pointless.

Without this decree, even if he gained control of the entirety of Mansha Kingdom, he would fundamentally still just be a rebel.

"Hmph, Chaimet, don’t be too pleased with yourself, I won’t write this decree. If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me."

"Hahaha, Emperor, do you still think you can turn the tide? Now, virtually all military power of the Mansha Kingdom is in my hands, only one Xiwat, what do you expect him to do?"

"Bang!" Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open, a general loyal to Chaimet walked in, "State Preceptor, there’s trouble."

"What trouble?" Chaimet frowned with dissatisfaction.

"Tonight there was a strange rain, all soldiers caught in the rain have been poisoned!"
