Chapter 105: Poisoned

"Haha, die!" Bai Qi guffawed madly. He didn't even consider Dong Yan as an opponent.

Dong Yan had been hiding far away and had only been hurling flying daggers. How strong could he be?

"Big Brother." Da Pang, who was injured hastily shouted.

"Yan, don't be crazy." The silver-haired middle-aged man was anxious as well. They all knew that Dong Yan was the weakest of them all. He was only able to become the leader because he was smart and ruthless. In terms of physical ability and cultivation, Dong Yan was no match against Da Pang and Er Pang.

Yet, Dong Yan still continued charging forth as though he had gone mad.

"Haha!" Bai Qi gripped his spear and prepared to pierce Dong Yan to death.

At this moment—

A cold glint flashed in Dong Yan's eyes. He suddenly took out a black long tube-shaped object from his right sleeve and fiercely pressed a notch on the black long tube-shaped object.

Whew!

The several dozen shadows shot out of the black long tube-shaped object. The speed was so astonishingly fast.

Bai Qi's facial expression changed as he shouted, "Oh no!" The projectiles that shot out of the hidden weapon were too quick. He was barely able to wave his long spear and only blocked one of the shadows.

"Thief! Die!" Bai Qi felt a sense of pain in his left arm and right leg, which soon felt very numb. He came so angry that he started roaring furiously that he would take Dong Yan's life.

Yet, Dong Yan turned and fled while replying, "If you aren't afraid of dying, then come chase after me!"

If one was poisoned, it would be best not to move as the more you move, the quicker your blood would flow and the quicker the poison would spread to the other parts of the body. Bai Qi could only freeze on the spot as he didn't dare to move. Dong Yan stood ten Zhang away and obviously had no intention to run now. His eyes swept past Er Pang's body and the purple gold in the pouch tied onto Li Laosan's leg.

The pouch was filled with purple gold!

"Come! Come closer and I will kill you." Bai Qi tapped the acupuncture points on his left arm and right leg and simultaneously tore his clothes into strips of cloth. He strapped the strips of cloth tightly around the left arm and the leg and tried to stop the blood from flowing.

The silver-haired middle-aged man immediately grabbed Er Pang's corpse.

"Lord Lieutenant!" With a loud shout, Teng Qingshan and Tian Dan finally came out of their hiding place.

"Let's go!" Dong Yan gritted his teeth and jumped onto the horse.

Da Pang got on the horse, while silver-haired middle-aged man placed Er Pang's corpse on the horse and jumped up the horse as well. They immediately galloped away. The horses rode by Dong Yan and the others were good horses that could travel a distance of 1000 Li within a day. With such explosive speed, Teng Qingshan and Tian Dan could only watch Dong Yan and the others gradually disappear.

Actually, Tian Dan might not be able to catch up, but Teng Qingshan could do it.

However…

It was impossible for Teng Qingshan to reveal his true ability for Bai Qi's sake.

...

As the horses galloped, Dong Yan and the others were suffering.

"Little Brother, Little Brother!" With tears in his eyes, Da Pang muttered painfully.

Dong Yan gnashed his teeth and said, "It's me. It's because of me. If I had taken out the Ghost Spirit Needle sooner, Er Pang wouldn't die!" When Er Pang was in danger, Dong Yan had no time to take out the Ghost Spirit Needle. And so, he could only block with his flying dagger. Still, he couldn't save Er Pang.

"Big Brother, it's not your fault. You couldn't save Er Pang earlier. I could only watch as well." Da Pang said painfully.

"Yan, don't be too sad! Er Pang is dead, but fortunately, he left behind two sons, meaning that his lineage will continue." The silver-haired middle-aged man sighed and said, "We should take care of his sons now."

"Yes." Dong Yan pondered for a while and said, "Uncle, we can't stay in Huafeng City anymore! Let's head back. We will take our money and leave Huafeng City and Jiangning County now.

"Eh?" The silver-haired middle-aged man was shocked.

"Big Brother, are we going to just abandon our men in Huafeng City? We expended great effort building that group." Da Pang stared at Dong Yan. All their subordinates were local people with families. It was impossible to ask these ordinary people to venture the world with them.

"We should make a decision when it's time to decide. Why bother thinking so much?! We were able to build our own world in Huafeng City. We will definitely be able to do even better in other places. As for that bastard from Gui Yuan Sect, I, Dong Yan, will take his life one day!" Dong Yan gritted his teeth and said.

"Wouldn't he die after being shot by the Ghost Spirit Needle?" The silver-haired middle-aged man asked.

"Hmph, if he hesitated and the poison spread to the other parts of his body, he would definitely die. However, if he could be ruthless to himself, then he will not die, but instead become disabled and useless!" Dong Yan sneered coldly and said, "However, even if he's disabled, I want to kill him with my own hands and make him pay for what he had done." Immediately, Dong Yan and the others left Huafeng City very quickly.

During the afternoon, Dong Yan and the other three took their families and left Huafeng City secretly. They would continue to venture the world.

"Lord Lieutenant?" Are you alright?" Tian Dan asked.

Teng Qingshan noticed a pouch beside the corpse. When he saw the purple gold in the pouch, he was shocked and thought to himself, "No wonder Lieutenant Bai Qi wanted to take action secretly. He was trying to take the purple gold without the sect knowing." Teng Qingshan immediately stretched his hand and placed all the scattered purple gold in the pouch.

"Teng Qingshan, what are you doing?" Bai Qi shouted.

"Someone stole the purple gold. Of course I must take the purple gold to where it is supposed to be." Teng Qingshan said calmly.

He gnashed his teeth and just felt so bitter!

Why did he chase after the middle-aged man by himself? It was for the sake of the purple gold... However, now, Teng Qingshan and Tian Dan had discovered the purple gold, meaning that he wouldn't be able to hog the purple gold. Unless...he could kill Teng Qingshan and Tian Dan…. But Bai Qi was well aware of Teng Qingshan's ability.

He would rather fight those four people ten times than fight Teng Qingshan once.

Not only had he not gotten the purple gold, he had also been poisoned.

Indeed, he tried to gain an advantage but ended up worse.

"Tsk, tsk! Lieutenant Bai Qi, Brother Tian Dan, this pouch of purple gold weigh at least ten Jin. It might even weigh more than ten Jin." Teng Qingshan lifted the pouch and said. The purple gold weighed much heavier than gold. This was why the legendary the Heavenly Emperor of the Qin Mountains had ton forge his Heavenly Sword with over a hundred Jin of purple gold.

Normally, a sword would just weigh a few Jin.

However, the Heavenly Sword weighed over a hundred Jin.

And so, it made sense for such a small pouch of purple gold to weigh ten Jin.

"Ten Jin of purple gold?" Tian Dan said, "That would be 1000 Jin of gold, which would be one million taels of silver! What a huge amount of wealth! Gui Yuan Sect had been extracting the purple gold mining site for a month, but the total amount of purple gold found was only around a dozen Jin. These people really have the means. They actually managed to steal ten Jin without being discovered."

Gui Yuan Sect wouldn't be able to notice if they hid one Jin of purple gold every month.

After all, it was impossible to extract the same amount of purple gold every month.

"Ten Jin!" Bai Qi felt his heart ached even more. The wage of the Lieutenant was high. He would receive one thousand silver taels every month. However, he still had food and beverage expenses. Therefore, he was only able to save 3000-5000 silver taels each year. Even a hundred years wouldn't be enough for him to save one million silver taels!

"Lord!"

"Lord, what happened here?" The few soldiers came and asked respectfully.

"Honorable Lieutenant, can you still walk?" Tian Dan asked worriedly.

"You two." Bai Qi pointed at the two soldiers and commanded, "Help me climb up the mountain."

Although the two soldiers felt unwilling, they could only obey the orders and support Bai Qi."

Teng Qingshan cast a glance at Bai Qi. Bai Qi looked extremely pale and seemed to be in pain.

He had only walked for twenty Zhang when he suddenly shouted, "Put me down! Now!"

The two soldiers were stunned.

"F*ck off." Bai Qi was so worried that he waved his right hand and sent the two soldiers flying to the side. He immediately sat down and tore his right pant leg apart.

Slash!

He tore his pants.

"What!" When Teng Qingshan and Bai Qi saw, their facial expression changed. Bai Qi entire right leg was swelling and had turned black.

"What is this poison?" Tian Dan shouted in shock.

"I didn't expect the poison to be this ruthless." Bai Qi thought he could rely on his inner strength to stop the poison from spreading, but he didn't know that blocking his acupuncture points and tying his leg and arm with cloth only slowed down the spreading of the poison. It couldn't stop the poison from spreading. "Tian Dan, Teng Qingshan, do you two know what poison this is? And the method of detoxification?" Bai Qi asked anxiously.

Tian Dan shook his head.

Teng Qingshan shook his head as well.

Teng Qingshan had no fear of poison.

Because Teng Qingshan cultivated the 'core,' which is the control of the body, he was able to control the flows of the Qi and blood as well as the beating of the heart. He could do this in his previous life. In this life, the control of his body became even stronger. He could control his muscle, skin membrane, bones, internal organs, etcetera. He could make himself taller or shorter within an instant.

It was to the point that he could control the major part of the body and stop the blood from flowing temporarily.

The spreading of the poison relied on the flowing blood. If the blood stopped flowing, the poison naturally couldn't spread to the other parts of the body. This was also the reason why the SS-ranked experts in his previous world were terrifying. Although the inner strength experts were powerful, they relied on inner strength, which resulted in weak controls of the muscle and bones. They couldn't control their muscles and bones, not to mention the flow of blood.

...

Even though Teng Qingshan wasn't afraid, he couldn't help anyone.

"Lord, the poison is spreading faster and faster." Tian Dan said anxiously as he saw the blackened area moving up from the thigh to the stomach. As Tian saw this, he could feel his heart palpitating.

Bai Qi shouted, "Do any of you have a saber?"

"No."

"I have a dagger." A guard responded.

"Give it to me." Bai Qi immediately took the dagger from the guard's hands and slashed a long wound on his thigh. Immediately, the black-colored blood gushed out of the wounds.

Bai Qi immediately began cursing, "It's completely numb. What poison is this? Letting the blood out doesn't help at all." Bai Qi could distinctly sense that the poison was spreading further away. When the poison reached the vital points, it would be the end of his life. Upon this realization, Bai Qi trembled and cold drops of perspiration covered his forehead.

Chi!

His clothes were torn too. His left arm was swelling and turning black.

"What should I do? What should I do? I can't die! I can't die!" Bai Qi was so worried that his entire body was trembling. Cold drops of perspiration covered his forehead.

"Lord Lieutenant, if you continue to hesitate, it will be too late." Tian Dan said.

Suddenly, Bai Qi thought about something. He looked at the black swelling leg and left arm, and gnashed his teeth as he waved his dagger forcefully.

Puchi! Puchi!

He cut off his thigh and left arm!

Blood gushed out from the wounds.

"Ah!" Bai Qi emitted such painful cries.
