Chapter Ch236 - Consecutive Defeats
He Xianglong didn’t think that this group of people would be so unbridled. He only felt that his face had been given a tremendous slap. If it was said that he originally intended to grandstand a little bit, then now he was completely furious.
At once, he shouted: “The egotistical have the gall to prattle on self-importantly. Watch as this He comes to teach you a lesson!”
After he finished speaking, He Xianglong leaped out. His hand was already holding a broadsword as he directly chopped down at those three people! The sword image was incredibly heavy, and its power generated gusts of wind. It seemed to possess a feeling of slicing the sky and rending the earth.
It seemed as if that young man would react too late, as if he was going to be struck!
In a split second, quite a few people cheered:
“The Dragon Beheading Sword Technique! Sure enough, its might is boundless!”
“This move has already attained the peak essence of swordsmanship!”
“There used to be a Senior Sect Brother who practiced this move for a very long time, but was unable to master it. Right now, it looks like Senior Sect Brother He’s swordsmanship has just realized the profound mysteries within. It really makes people feel extreme admiration!”
“Previously, I heard that the He Family Brothers were a pair of champions. Now it looks like they really are out of the ordinary!”
Meanwhile, Gu Zuo furrowed his brows.
He somewhat felt that this move wasn’t really going to be that effective against these people... That guy who was about to be chopped also had a man and woman next to him, and their expressions basically didn’t change one bit! He knew that only people who were extremely confident in themselves would act like this.
He Xianglong felt that he was about to succeed, but before he could feel proud of himself, he sensed an enormous pressure passing through the area of his palm as well as an intense jolt.
As it turned out, at some point in time, that young man whom he primarily attacked had also unexpectedly taken out a long sword. Facing upwards, the sword was raised to block this huge move of his! Moreover, the other party’s qi energy reflected the collision’s jolt, which almost wounded him!
He Xianglong was shaken, and drew back.
At this moment, it seemed like raging waves and stormy seas were surging in his heart.
The other party caused him to retreat in such an understated manner. This went to show that the other’s true qi was even more vigorous than his own!
Gu Zuo sighed.
Sure enough, it didn’t exceed his prediction... But he rather hoped that it had gone beyond his expectations.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe Xianglong wasn’t that young man’s opponent at all. Perhaps other people weren’t able to see it, but when the two clashed, Gu Zuo saw it clearly. Among a batch of equivalent realms, He Xianglong was considered valiant. Unfortunately, the other party was a notch better than him — No. If it was a true fight to the death, then perhaps it would the young man’s overwhelming victory!
This was probably the difference between geniuses.
At the exact moment that He Xianglong was forced to retreat, the sounds of discussion and praise all came to an abrupt halt. The people on the scene weren’t blind. Where could one not see that, during the momentary exchange, it was He Xianglong’s loss? They understood a certain point even more clearly — Those three quarreling people were truly extraordinary!
Therefore, he brandished his sword once more, and brazenly went forward to fight with that young man.
The young man’s face was filled with disdain: “You’ve spent so many years only to live like a dog. An insignificant talent dares to fight with this senior?” Speaking up to here, he gave a huge shout, “Taste death!”
In the blink of an eye, the sword swept the wind and clouds. The sword tip shot out — A thousand heavy waves and ten-thousand mountain peaks rose up.
He Xianglong wasn’t the young man’s opponent at all. Soon, he was was beaten back again and again. His every move was suppressed. It was as if, no matter what he did, the young man was capable of grasping the gaps in between to repel him!
The skills of that quarreling young man were truly too astonishing. What was even harder to believe was that, when someone observed the expressions of his two traveling companions, it was discovered that they were accustomed to it. They weren’t stunned by the young man’s strength in the least — What did this show? This showed that, in their eyes, either the young man’s ability was normal, or their abilities weren’t inferior to that of the young man.
But regardless of which explanation, it weighed heavily on the minds of those people in the restaurant who were related to Qingyun Sect.
While He Xianglong was retreating again and again in defeat, one of the Xiantian stage eight disciples behind him suddenly acted. The direction of his attack was towards the other young man.
In addition, the other Xiantian stage eights acted late. Seeing that his companion was already approaching the other young man, he just turned his body around and went towards that woman.
Gu Zuo held his breath.
That woman was a pharmacist!
It was only after that Xiantian stage eight disciple attacked did he suddenly react.
As a martial artist, how could he attack a pharmacist? Merely, he just momentarily forgot due to his eagerness.
At once, he wanted to stop and go back.
However, that woman’s face flashed with a trace of contempt.
In an instant, both of her eyes seemed to become even brighter. Her slender fingers crossed and flicked out — Pop! Pop!
Several medicinal pills suddenly appeared. They changed into a surging, black fog, and promptly formed a snake of black smoke. It ferociously opened its jaws and bit at that Xiantian stage eight!
Without exception, the people who filled the building were all shocked.
What kind of trick was this? Could it be that pharmacists could also have this kind of offensive ability?
Gu Zuo was very surprised.
But he wasn’t surprised by that woman’s poison pill trick. Rather, he realized that, during the instant that the woman shot out the medicinal pills, the space between her brows also flickered with a faint glimmer — Because the change was too small, almost no one detected it.
This kind of reaction was very familiar to him... This was psychic power!
Surprisingly, that woman could also freely utilize psychic powers!
With such a scene, Gu Zuo couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
What was going on here? Could it be that this woman was the same as him? Did she also have a fortuitous encounter and obtained a cultivation method for a pharmacist’s psychic powers? However, did the people beside her know? She used it in such a public place. Wasn’t she worried about being detected by others? Although the radiance between her brows was very faint, a martial artist’s eyesight was very good. It definitely wasn’t something that a martial artist wouldn’t have been able to sense...
In the past, Gu Zuo was always careful and cautious when using his psychic power. He either kept himself hidden, used concealed methods, or just killed his opponents afterwards.
The woman’s way of handling things made him feel odd.
However, Gu Zuo definitely didn’t have any thoughts of contacting that woman.
Regardless of whether it was that woman’s high-profile disposition or some other reason, he wasn’t willing to expose himself.
These kinds of thoughts just flitted by. Meanwhile, the battle situation below had already been separated by relative superiority. The three Xiantian stage eight powerhouses of the Wild Martial Arts Society had all lost in the hands of those three people!
He Xianglong had been the first to go over, but his reactions were also the fastest. As a result, his injuries weren’t the heaviest. Under a few of his opponent’s moves, he swiftly retreated. In any case, he kept his life. However, his miserable condition was very frightening. There were, at the very least, dozens of sword slices on his body. Most of all, there was one bloody hole after another at his acupoint locations. If he hadn’t evaded in time, the bone pearls within would’ve been entangled and broken by the sword qi. In addition, his wrists, ankles, and all of his body’s vital points were the final areas of the injuries. It was clear that the opponent was cruel and vicious. Each and every move was rushing for his life!
Also, after fighting with the other young man, the Xiantian stage eight martial artist had his left forearm cut off, and both of his legs were sliced open. If his body techniques weren’t nimble enough, perhaps he wouldn’t have been able to keep his right leg. ????????????????????????????. com
However, the severity of everyone’s injuries couldn’t surpass that of the martial artist who acted against that female pharmacist. When he pulled back, he was caught off-guard, and was pounced upon by that snake of black smoke. Although the serpent’s teeth were illusory, he was deeply poisoned the moment he was bitten. It was basically too late to act once more. Already, his qi and blood was circulating the wrong way, and the poisoned qi was attacking his heart. His entire face had become a pitch-black color!
Gu Zuo’s brows furrowed tightly.
He recognized that poison. It was one of the world’s Wondrous Poisons. The person who was poisoned would feel a sharp pain all over their body. If the pain lasted for a full two hours, they would perish. The detoxification was challenging and complicated. Ordinary people definitely wouldn’t be able to prepare an antidote within two hours! From this, it could be seen how savage that woman’s nature was!
This type of poison was one that Gu Zuo could resolve. Merely, with his capabilities, he would need to spend more than an hour if he wanted to refine the antidote. If he still continued watching in this place...wanting to save that person would be very difficult.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter letting out a sigh, Gu Zuo signaled to Dragon Three with his eyes.
Dragon Three stood up at once, and led Gu Zuo through a winding path in the crowd.
Fortunately, during this time, there were some people who found that this matter wasn’t to their liking, and they all wanted to leave. The people inside the restaurant weren’t obstructed, allowing them to depart.
After a few twists and turns, the two people didn’t attract anyone’s attention and they left the restaurant without a hitch.
Right now, time was limited. Under Dragon Three’s lead, Gu Zuo hired a medicine refining room within the Business District — Before going in, Gu Zuo still remembered to use his psychic power to cover himself and Dragon Three. This could prevent people whose realms were inferior to Gu Zuo’s from recalling their true appearances.
Inside that medicine refining room, Dragon Three guarded the entrance. Meanwhile, Gu Zuo set his mind on medicine refinement. He focused his energy and exhausted his state of mind. At last, he settled the antidote with the fastest speed. Soon after, he put away his own pill cauldron, and used some pills that melted into liquid to dissolve the odors of medicine refinement that existed within the medicine refining room. After that, he used his psychic power to make several searches for the tiniest traces of anything amiss until he couldn’t find them anymore. Then, he left with Dragon Three.
Immediately following this, he allowed Dragon Three to go out, while he draped that cloak over himself.
After making meticulous preparations, he arrived in front of that restaurant once more.
The news within the restaurant continuously spread to his ears.
As it turned out, after he had left, that Xiantian stage nine powerhouse had also acted. Originally, he thought he could rely on his own realm’s suppression to make those three people suffer a little bit. But who could’ve thought that, through the three people’s cooperation, they were even able to force that Xiantian stage nine to incur a loss? Although he was able to escape unscathed, he still cut a sorry figure.
The Wild Martial Arts Society had taken a large fall here. The three people were extremely unbridled. They only said that they would wait here for successive challenges from the trash of Qingyun Sect. After waiting for almost an hour amid the poisoned martial artist’s suffering, and not seeing anyone come, they boldly left with a swagger.
Gu Zuo let out a sigh of relief.
Those three people had already departed, but because they had just left, this place was still surrounded by numerous people. They all did their best to treat those injured people. In particular, the Wild Martial Arts Society — Staffing had been dispatched, and they were instructed to find medicaments that could resolve poisons.
Unfortunately, no matter what kind of Detoxification Pill was used, nothing worked. Soon, that person would truly die...
Afterwards, Gu Zuo walked up to a shop assistant whose face was filled with concern. Then, Gu Zuo patted his shoulder.
The shop keeper turned around.
Gu Zuo took out a medicinal pill, and placed it in his hand. His voice was hoarse: “This thing can treat the poison.”
The shop assistant stared blankly. Just when he was going to say something, he discovered that Gu Zuo’s figure was already far away in the blink of an eye.
