The Old Marquis was already very careful. After all, when he heard this guy say that he was the one who refined poison, the Old Marquis had guessed that he was an expert in poison. He was naturally guarding against him poisoning him.
However, this guy did not attack at all. How did he get poisoned?
“Hahahaha…
The black-robed apothecary laughed until his body swayed. “Are you very puzzled when I poisoned you? It’s not your fault for being careless. Your Great Zhou’s poison expert is really a little unpresentable.”
The Old Marquis frowned.
Your Great Zhou?
He was not from the Great Zhou!
Had the White Lotus Society already extended its reach so far?
That was true. The sect had already reached into the palace. What was wrong with getting a few experts from other countries?
The black-robed apothecary smiled and said, “The grass planted on the ground is originally non-toxic, and the flowers on the trees are also non-toxic. However, if they are mixed together and sucked in, it will accelerate the effect of the numbing potion.”
The Old Marquis was enlightened.
The moment he approached the other party, he was already poisoned.
He had never seen such a method in his life.
The black-robed apothecary smiled arrogantly. “I’ll spare your life… slowly test my poison.”
The Old Marquis snorted. “Do you really think a mere poison can trap anyone?”
With that, he sank his qi into his diaphragm, and a powerful internal force rushed into his limbs and bones. Accompanied by the dense pain in his meridians, his numb body instantly regained consciousness.
His longsword cut off the branch where the black-robed apothecary was.
The black-robed apothecary dodged in the air and landed on another tree.
He looked at the Old Marquis in surprise. “Eh? Can you can still move? It seems that you’re more resistant to poison than I imagined. You have an excellent poisonous body. My heart suddenly doesn’t ache for the poisonous creature that left. If you replace it, you will definitely be able to create a more perfect poisonous creature.”
His lips curled sinisterly and he let out a sinister laugh that echoed in the silent forest, making one’s hair stand on end.
Wei Ting and Slave Xiu fought fiercely. Slave Xiu was a death warrior and used a way to shorten his lifespan in order to increase his cultivation. He was a very difficult opponent.
Coupled with his age, he had practiced martial arts ten years more than Wei Ting. The two of them were not on the same level at all.
If it were anyone else, he would have long become souls under Slave Xiu’s sword.
Slave Xiu was also very surprised that Wei Ting could last until now unscathed.
“Who are you?” Slave Xiu asked.
Wei Ting said coldly, “The person who wants your life.”
Slave Xiu tilted his head slightly to look at Wei Ting, a trace of confusion flashing across his eyes. “You make me feel familiar.” “Is that so? Unfortunately, I don’t know you!”
Wei Ting slashed over.
Slave Xiu had been distracted just now and was really injured by him. Although
it was only an insignificant wound on his shoulder, it still attracted Slave Xiu’s attention.
“In the Great Zhou, you’re the first to hurt me. I’m going to get serious.”
Slave Xiu’s killing intent suddenly soared. The grass and dust on the ground rose without wind, and the empty forest seemed to have instantly become a battlefield.
Wei Ting gripped the sword in his hand tightly.
This person called Slave Xiu was even more troublesome than he had imagined.
The Old Marquis had left too quickly just now, so he did not have the time to hand the antidote to the Old Marquis. He did not know if the Old Marquis had been poisoned.
Nothing must happen. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain to the little fat peacock.
The Old Marquis was fine for the time being, but as he attacked again and again, the poison in his body became more and more uncontrollable. He had to leave this place as soon as possible, or he would only inhale more poisonous gas.
He pushed forward as he fought.
The black-robed apothecary smiled and said, “It’s useless. You’ve already inhaled the poisonous gas. Without my antidote, the poison will flare up eventually. I advise you to stop quickly. This way, it can flare up slower and you’ll be in less pain.”
“Cut the crap and give me your life! ”
The Old Marquis stepped on the tree and leaped forward. He was as agile as a flying dragon and attacked the black-robed apothecary on the tree branch with lightning speed.
The black-robed apothecary pondered. “To think you can still be so ferocious after so long. Did I poison you?”
In fact, the Old Marquis was about to collapse, but he could not expose himself in front of the other party.
A cultivator slave was already very troublesome. This person was no less dangerous than a cultivator slave. He had to deal with him, or there would be endless trouble in the future!
The Old Marquis gathered strength to use his last move. However, at this moment, the poison in his body finally erupted completely. His chest hurt, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood before kneeling on one knee.
He supported his gradually numbing body with his sword and began to lose consciousness bit by bit.
The black-robed apothecary smiled in relief. “I knew it. How can my poison fail? Marquis of Zhenbei, I’m really impressed that you can last until now. Don’t worry, when I refine you into a poisonous creature, I’ll give you more medicine to reduce your pain.”
“You’re obsessed…”
Before he could finish, the Old Marquis vomited blood again. His body tilted and he fell to the cold grass.
On the other side, Wei Ting’s ears twitched, and his eyes darkened. He was about to look for the Old Marquis.
However, Slave Xiu did not give him any chance. He flew down and blocked his path.
The black-robed apothecary walked towards the Old Marquis step by step.
The Old Marquis struggled to get up a few times, but he did not even have the strength to hold his sword.
The black-robed apothecary stopped in front of him and looked down at him. His lips curled into a cold arc. “Stop struggling. It’s useless. Wait until I take you down first before capturing Qin Canglan alive. I really want to know how powerful the most powerful expert of the Great Zhou will be if he becomes a poisonous creature in my hands. Lord Wu An is also a good candidate, but unfortunately, he’s dead.”
The Old Marquis glared at him with burning eyes.
He pinched out a hidden weapon and was about to shoot it at the Old Marquis.
No sooner said than done, the Old Marquis, who was already exhausted, suddenly pulled out the dagger in his military boot with his left hand and stabbed his right foot.
The black-robed apothecary’s expression changed and he hurriedly moved his hands and feet.
Fortunately, the dagger only pierced his shoes.
The Old Marquis took the opportunity to grab his feet and throw him to the ground.
The black-robed medicine master really did not expect the Old Marquis to still have strength.
He was angered. When the Old Marquis pounced at him, his fingertips moved, and a vulture flapped its wings and flew over, pecking fiercely at the Old Marquis’s eyes!
Swish!
A cold arrow shot through the air and ruthlessly sent the vulture that was about to peck the old marquis blind flying.
The black-robed apothecary’s eyes darkened. He slapped the Old Marquis away and stood up cleanly.
He looked around warily. “Who is it?”
There was no answer from the dark.
However, when he looked at the vulture hanging on the tree with its head shot through, he understood that such archery was definitely not ordinary.
“Is it General Leng?”
He asked in a low voice.
Leng Tiannan was in charge of the Divine Bow Camp. Other than the deceased Lord Wu An, no one in the entire Great Zhou could match his archery skills.
“Don’t forget, your son is still in our hands. I advise you not to act rashly.”
With a cold threat, the black-robed apothecary tried to walk towards the Old Marquis.
However, just as he took half a step, three arrows flew over and stabbed into his feet!
Now was the time.
He saw where the arrow came from!
He took out the crossbow on his back. This was the Divine Breaking Crossbow of the Western Jin Dynasty. It was faster and fiercer than the arrow that was drawn!
He shot mercilessly at the other party.
THUD!
Something huge fell to the ground.
He had hit it!
He smiled coldly, put away the crossbow, and raised his hand to grab the Old
Marquis on the ground.
At this moment, something unbelievable happened.
Another cold arrow shot out from the depths of the night, piercing through his hand that was touching the Old Marquis!
The pain distorted his face. He held his right wrist and turned around in disbelief.
A blue-clothed girl holding a longbow walked over like a ghost in the forest with a cold expression.
The girl drew her bow and aimed at his head..
