"Well, of all the four surrounding Empires in our Qin Dynasty, only the Dogon Empire have three of them, and it is a closely guarded secret and also one of our empire's secret weapons, which in turn means, everything I have said here today must not be heard from anyone else, otherwise I will have your heads!"

Gong Yi spoke and the remaining trio cowered by taking two steps back as trepidation was apparent within their eyes…

​​

They were somewhat sure that this little boy who was just about to clock fifteen can truly kill them without batting an eyelid…

"That's it!" Little Ming blurted with wide eyes;

"That's what?" Min Rou asked;

"Big Sis Yun, can you remember when that cray spider bit you when we were creating our tree house?"

Little Ming referred to Elder Yun who went deep in thought for a few breaths before responding;

"Yeah, I can remember how we both demolished it out of existence and even threw its worthless core away…"

"Yeah, but that is not what I am pointing at… Remember how the poison from the spider caused you to lose your sight?"

"Yeah, that poison was really- wait!" "You mean the manner with which Elder Long cured me back then!?" Elder Yun finally snapped in realization of Little Ming's idea;

"Fighting poison with a more lethal poison that you have a cure for…" Elder Yun recalled;

"Yeah, that's the one… I forgot what it was called and how he went about it…" Little Ming grinned awkwardly;

"Why won't you forget when all you do is cause mischief and never focus on important things…" Elder Yun berated…

She had always been healthily jealous of Little Ming's cultivating ability…

Little Ming can only cultivate to her potential when she is asleep, or in her so-called 'Half Death Mode', when her consciousness is suspended into the void where she can peacefully cultivate without interruption, and she had once had once had an idea that;

'How strong will Little Ming become if she can hibernate for a decade, doing nothing but cultivating?'

But Little Ming sleep much less than she plays… as a matter of fact she barely sleep five hours a week…

"Yeah, since I have the poison of that vermin within me, I could poison her and when my poison has taken care of the poison within her, then I will just simply neutralize mine…"

Little Ming suggested, but only received a smack in the head as response before being berated by Elder Yun;

"Then what are you still standing there smiling for?"

"Have at it!"

Elder Yun spoke as Little Ming transformed into her tiny size which in turn makes her poison more potent based on the fraction of her reduction in size;

"~Unh~"

Qing Tan moaned in pain when Little Ming bit her, and instantly, everyone began to see the veins at the back of Qing Tan's palm become bright green in color as her pain intensified;

"Ah!"

Qing Tan screamed in nerve wrecking pain as the new potent poison entered her body, then she began to spasm and convulse as her body shook violently causing everyone's eyes to redden immensely…

Min Qing's hair was already growing longer the more Qing Tan suffered;

"You have to hang on sis…"

Little Ming spoke into Qing Tan's ears trying to reinforce her willpower, because she knew just how potent her poison was…

People only knew that those with the 'Mimic Bloodline' can use mimic anything or anyone they choose to mimic, but what no one knew was that, the closer the bloodline was to their ancestor, the stronger their mimicking abilities become…

Little Ming's mother who was the one with the mimic bloodline wasn't too close to her ancestor, but still, she was still stronger than the beast she had mimicked by a factor of 30 percent, and Little Ming to the knowledge of no one [Including Little Ming herself] was much closer to her ancestral bloodline than her parents combined…

Thus, the moment she mimicked the poisoning ability of a Sage Beast whose innate ability was poisoning, it was a no-brainer to understand that Little Ming's poison was at least more potent than the Forest Green Viper itself…

"I told you whatever you do would only make my girls poison spread ever faster… Hehe he…"

The core court disciple actually laughed in the face of these people's rage…

Min Hong heard Qing Tan's screams and his eyes gradually began to grow red, but just as he was about to erupt, Qing Tan's noise began to die down…

"That is the last stage of their poison effect; The acceptance…" The boy said proudly;

"This is the point at which their victims completely succumb to the invasion of the poison and allow it to spread across their body, because resisting only brings more pain, and simply allowing the poison to kill you will simply ease the victim's suffering…" The boy said with a proud grin…

"Guys, I need to torture this guy to the extent that he will sense nightmare whenever he sees me…" Min Hong thought mentally as he gazed towards the boy with a gaze so wicked that even an asura would crawl back to hell in fear…

Then Little Ming gave him the best piece of good news he had ever received in a while;

"She is safe!"

And that was all the current Min Hong needed to hear, as a smile crept onto his face;

"If we fight now, and let's just say I win, because you are obviously stronger, you will give me the antidote?"

Min Hong asked as the boy began to feel on top of the world because Min Hong admitted he was stronger;

"Sure!" The boy said;

"So how do you want to do this?" Min Hong asked;

"Let's just duel and if you defeat me, I cure your sister…"

The boy said as he controlled the giant bug made out of hundreds of smaller bugs to face Min Hong;

"I am ready whenever you-"

The boy didn't even complete his sentence before Min Hong vanished from his sight…

Before the boy could bat his eyelid, Min Hong had stretched two of his fingers outward and stabbed the boy straight in his abdomen, sending Oblivion and Chaos Qi straight into his nascent souls, and delivering another cocktail of his [Buddhist Chant of the Cherubs] hot soul energy into his mind palace…

These things Min Hong did to the boy didn't hurt him anyway, and neither did it destroy his cultivation, all Min Hong's actions amounted to was lock every shred of cultivation the boy had away, rendering the boy unable to use any kind of power;

"What have you done to me!?"

The boy screamed with eyes wide with fear as he clutched his abdomen;

"Eh?" Min Hong paused a bit;

"I have not done anything to you at all…"

He said and left, causing the boy to think that he had survived a major disaster…

All he needed to do, now was to go and see the fourth grand elder; his master, and they will help him unlock his cultivation, and then, he would be able to torture Min Hong beyond measure…

But just as Min Hong moved away, the boy heard Min Hong speak;

"He is all yours…"

Min Hong simply landed atop Elder Yun and lay down nonchalantly, not bothering to spare the core court disciple any further glance…

Min Qing and Qing Tan then walked over to the boy who could not flee since every shred of his cultivation had been locked away…

Then Min Qing confirmed the boy's suspicions and fears;

"You will beg for hell!"

Min Qing said as she stretched her hands towards the core court disciple and began to control his own blood…

Min Qing could actually control anything liquid at this point, but the problem was that, the cultivation of her victim has to be at least equal or lower to that of her own, and anything other than that is beyond her capabilities…

But in the case of this core court disciple who had seen his cultivation locked, it was more than too easy for her to do so, thus, she moved his blood to the weakest part of his body; the neck, butt, armpit, back of the thighs, heel and every single weak spot on the boy's body, then she turned to Qing Tan and brought out a knife from her storage ring and spoke;

"You know the fantastic thing about blood?" She asked as Qing Tan shook her head;

"It is the most important thing in a human… It can cure illnesses, repair wounds, and save a person's life…" She paused;

"But what others don't realize is that it can also do quite the opposite…" Min Qing said as she stabbed the boy behind his right thigh;

"~Aaaaaahhhh!~"

The boy screamed to the extent that, even Qing Tan who had initially wanted to take revenge stepped back in fear…

Then Min Qing continued;

"You see… For example, when there is no blood in someone's legs, that person won't be able to completely feel and move that leg, and as a result, when that leg is stabbed, only minimal pain would be felt, because the nerves in those legs are so starved and weak, that they can't pass any message to the brain…"

"But you see, when there is too much blood in those legs, the nerves within them would become extremely sensitive, and in this case I am talking about the nerve that transmits pain…"

Min Qing walked gracefully around Qing Tan like a teacher mentoring her best student…

Then she used her knife to point at different parts of the boy's body;

"Any of his limbs will do…" Then she handed the knife over to Qing Tan and gave a final advice;

"Let us know how much pain you felt…"

Instantly, Qing Tan's gaze became savage as she slowly walked up to the boy, giving him the scare of his life…

This was like knowing the kind of fate that awaits someone, then that fate should now come slowly, killing its victim on the inside with fear before finally unleashing its horror; that was the current Qing Tan…
