Chapter 235: Fighting Poison with Poison
For a master like this, Xiao Yun only wanted to provoke him with words, hoping to irritate him and disrupt his rhythm. This way, he could find an opportunity to strike whenever possible.
No matter how strong the master, they fear becoming agitated and losing their composure, which would give the opponent a chance to exploit.
Octopus regarded Xiao Yun with a strange gaze. Undeniably, he had to admire this kid in front of him for managing to evade the combined attack of the Hang Brothers.
"Kid, what happened to those Ning Brothers?" Octopus asked through clenched teeth, his face twisted in a grimace.
Xiao Yun then realized that the person who had just fought him on Top Scholar Lane was named Hang and was indeed a brother. He replied, "Unfortunately, they couldn't defeat me. Perhaps they felt too ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong and decided to take their own lives!"
"What?"
Octopus asked in shock, "They are dead?"
"That's right, my friend. Life is short; one must enjoy it while they can. You are a Locked Yang Body; you shouldn't live in this world without ever tasting the pleasures of a woman. It's like being a fool who can't see beyond his own nose, eager to rush into the next world to find them," Xiao Yun said, suppressing the pain in his abdomen while maintaining a smile.
Wow wow wow!
Octopus shouted in anger and was about to pounce but suddenly halted, bewildered. "How did you figure out I am a Locked Yang Body?"
Xiao Yun sneered coldly, sweeping his Spiritual Sense over Octopus from head to toe. He felt a surge of joy and said, "I could tell from the Qi Mechanism you emit."
"You can see a person's Qi Mechanism?" Octopus was genuinely startled for a moment.
"Not bad,"
Xiao Yun secretly circulated the Heavenly Spirit Essence within his body, his face still wearing a bright smile. "I can even tell how your bones are growing. Your sternum was broken in the past, and it hurts terribly every rainy day. By the way, it seems your thigh bone was stabbed with a poisoned blade. Although the poison has been removed, that piece of bone is still black. I estimate that area has been numb and itchy for years, often tormenting you to the point where you can't even sleep..."
"Wait, what kind of eyes do you have that can see all this?" Octopus's expression changed several times as he asked in astonishment.
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, what good does it do to tell you? Right now, we are enemies. When we become friends, I will tell you then, and I can even help you heal that thigh bone!"
"I have no friends!"
Octopus coldly asked, "Can you really help me heal it?"
Xiao Yun replied, "Of course I can!"
"At present, I don't want to be your enemy either. Besides, it's not like you're my enemy; I just have to kill you!" Octopus said coldly and ruthlessly.
Xiao Yun asked, "Why?"
"Cannot say!" Octopus replied.
Xiao Yun sneered, "Isn't it Yan Jing Song Chao Yang who sent you here?"
Octopus said, "This has nothing to do with him."
Xiao Yun knew he wasn't lying and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. He wondered who else could afford to hire such experts if it wasn't Song Chaoyang.
Could it be Hong Qichang from the Flying Tiger Gang?
This seems unlikely. His son, Hong Wu, although I gave him a good beating, it shouldn't warrant such a huge investment from him!
With a bitter smile, Xiao Yun raised his hand towards the opponent and said, "It looks like you really want to go against me tonight?"
"That's right. You can only blame your short life for this, and blame me for not having the fortune to heal you!" Octopus replied.
Xiao Yun said, "Well, since you're eager to join the Hang Brothers for a gathering, there's nothing I can do about it!"
"You little brat, you're too arrogant!" Octopus shouted furiously.
Before he could finish his sentence, a cold glint flashed quickly in his eyes.
Bang!
As soon as the words left his mouth, his fist struck.
Whoosh!
Xiao Yun activated Seven Steps Floating Cloud, sliding away to a distance of ten feet.
With a loud crash, Octopus's punch missed its target, and the force of his fist created a large pit in the Cement Floor.
A few plainclothes Criminal Police Officers who had rushed over crouched behind a trash can at a distance. Seeing this scene, they were all stunned in shock.
Uh, wasn't the person being attacked Xiao Yun?
No wonder Captain Ouyang was acting so strangely tonight; it turns out she was worried about this kid's safety. How strange! What is going on? Why is Xiao Yun being attacked repeatedly while orders from above prohibit them from responding?
Even if Xiao Yun offended a high-ranking figure in the police, it wouldn't prevent the police from taking action!
Several Criminal Police Officers were scratching their heads, utterly perplexed.
While the Criminal Police Officers were entangled in confusion, Octopus had already unleashed dozens of moves.
—This Xiao is indeed formidable; he can actually evade my series of thunderous strikes!
Octopus was drenched in Frenzied Sweat.
He had confidently claimed in front of Dragon Sister that he could take down Xiao Yun within three moves, but little did he know that things were far from as simple as he imagined.
What was frustrating was that this kid kept dodging and refused to counterattack.
Damn, just his dodging skills alone would put him above most people in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.
As his thoughts shifted, Octopus suddenly felt a chill in his heart and thought, something's not right. As a Peak Master of Heavenly Realm in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, how can I not subdue him?
It's strange; why has my power suddenly weakened in front of this kid?
Whoosh!
Octopus now held a soft whip in his hand.
He was prepared for a quick resolution.
Leaping into the air like a hawk, he swung the soft whip. In an instant, countless whip shadows swept toward Xiao Yun like a torrential storm, with sharp whip lights emitting starlight. Nearby objects were shattered to pieces by the force of the whip.
What a powerful Mountain Whip!
Xiao Yun's pupils constricted sharply as he continuously adjusted his steps to dodge the whip's light. At the same time, a slight smile crept onto his lips.
The Mountain Whip lashed out more fiercely, its light stirring the air into swirling black smoke that spread around like lightning and thunder. However—
Octopus's whip had lost its direction, and his face grew paler, staggering like a drunken man…
At this moment, Xiao Yun no longer needed to evade; he simply stood by watching Octopus stumble, his eyes dazed, wildly swinging the whip without any target.
Octopus was large and tall, and as he flailed the whip in the street, he looked like a clown on a stage.
Suddenly, Octopus let go of the whip, his whole body trembling on the ground, his face turning a deep purple, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Ugh, ugh..." strange sounds escaped his mouth.
Thud!
He suddenly collapsed to the ground…
At the moment he fell, it was as if a dying man had a moment of clarity; he opened his eyes wide and fixed his gaze on Xiao Yun, as if questioning how he could possibly be defeated by this kid.
Octopus probably never understood until his last breath that he had fallen into Xiao Yun's trap.
Xiao Yun realized that after absorbing the energy from the Hang Family brothers had been poisoned, facing the towering and formidable Octopus blocking his way meant he was in grave danger.
The best strategy now was to provoke Octopus into a frenzy, hoping to expose a flaw for a strike before making a quick escape like a hero who avoids immediate danger.
As his Spiritual Sense swept over the Octopus, a sudden smile appeared on his face. He discovered that the creature had previously been poisoned in the thigh bone, and the toxin had not been completely expelled.
This type of poison was called the Bloodsucking Blade.
There are several notorious blades in the world:
One is known as the Sealing Blood Blade, which kills without shedding blood;
Another is the Bloodsucking Blade, the most lethal of all. When this blade pierces the bone, no one can completely expel the poison from the victim's body. Even more terrifying is that the toxin left at the site of the injury has a kind of attraction; when it encounters nearby poison, it actively absorbs it into the victim's body...
Thus, Xiao Yun began to abandon his fantasies of provoking the Octopus and instead initiated a casual conversation. Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, he started to circulate his Heavenly Spirit Essence within his body, pushing out the poison to his palm. With a flick of his hand, he secretly expelled the toxin.
However, as he cast out this poison, it was eagerly absorbed by the lingering toxin from the Octopus's old wound.
Xiao Yun knew that when the Octopus launched an attack on him, its movements would be fierce, which would trigger an explosive reaction from his own toxins.
Originally having no chance against the Octopus, Xiao Yun managed to escape a disaster!
...
Squeak!
The car finally stopped at the entrance of a budget hotel.
Xiao Yun got out of the car and had just stepped into the hotel when a Waitress approached him with a professional smile and said, "Sir, are you here to check in?"
"Oh, I'm not here to stay; I'm here to visit a friend!" Xiao Yun replied.
The waitress smiled and asked, "Which room's guest would you like to see, sir?"
"Room 208!" Xiao Yun replied.
The waitress continued to smile and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but the guest in room 208 just checked out and has already left."
What? Left?
Xiao Yun was stunned!
The waitress seemed to show a hint of sympathy for Xiao Yun, as if to say that it was unfortunate he wasn't punctual for his date with such a top-tier beauty.
"Then..."
Xiao Yun asked, "Did the guest leave any message?"
The waitress replied, "Oh, right! I almost forgot. The beautiful guest left you a note!"
Saying this, she returned to the counter and took out a note from inside, handing it to Xiao Yun. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
