Chapter 223: Lingnan Poison Venerable
Chapter 223: Lingnan Poison Venerable
The "Uncle Zhang" and "Uncle Wang" Dongfang Ruhua spoke of were bodyguards specially assigned to her by Dongfang Leiming, charged with her personal safety. Their deaths deeply grieved Dongfang Ruhua."It was my fault that Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang died. If I hadn’t insisted that they take me here to play, they would still be alive... I... I... sob sob..."
The more Dongfang Ruhua spoke, the sadder she became; tears fell like broken strings of pearls.
In a wealthy family like the Dongfang Family, it was common for bodyguards to get injured or killed, and few people would grieve for them. Seeing Dongfang Ruhua crying her heart out over the death of two bodyguards, Fang Bai knew that she was a girl of deep feelings and loyalty, and he couldn’t help but secretly admire her.
"Crying too much is bad for your health; you should take a nap first!"
Fang Bai whispered in Dongfang Ruhua’s ear and then lightly pressed a finger on her body. She felt her eyelids growing heavier, and with Fang Bai’s support, collapsed to the ground, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
Fang Bai took out his phone, about to contact Dongfang Leiming to have someone come over to take Dongfang Ruhua away and deal with the bodies of the two bodyguards, when suddenly he became alert.
s, frogs, and other poisonous creatures emerged from the grass and trees in Fang Bai’s path, as if all the venomous creatures in the mountain had been gathered there to block his way.
"Insignificant trickery, daring to embarrass yourselves before me!"
Fang Bai did not stop his footsteps and let out a series of high and low-pitched howls—the "Beast Taming Scripture" he used to subdue and command the creatures of the earth.
The venomous creatures in the mountains, previously ready to strike Fang Bai under the command of the flute’s sound, now turned and rushed toward the man in the black robe upon hearing Fang Bai’s howls.
The man in the black robe was drenched in cold sweat as he watched the venomous beasts swarming from all directions.
He now realized that he, the "Lingnan Poison Venerable" renowned in the Ancient Martial World, had met his nemesis.
Seeing the speed of Fang Bai’s movements, the man in the black robe knew he was no match for Fang Bai in terms of martial power and had also fallen behind in controlling the venomous creatures. This left him with no chance of turning defeat into victory.
With his life at stake, the man in the black robe had no choice but to flee.
As an expert in using poison, he feared Fang Bai’s strength, but not the venomous creatures around him.
He thrust his hands forward, scattering handful after handful of pink smoke. Wherever the smoke touched, the venomous creatures scattered, making way for him.
The man in the black robe leaped through the heavy encirclement of venomous creatures and escaped toward the deep mountains, his broad black robe rustling in the oncoming strong wind.
Although Fang Bai was carrying someone under his arm, his sprinting speed was still much faster than that of the man in the black robe, and his feet barely touched the ground, as if flying through the air.
If there had been a martial artist present, they would have been shocked to witness such a scene.
In this world, many martial artists with Cultivation Levels reaching the Profound Rank were capable of treading on snow without leaving a trace or even striding through the air for a short time, but someone like Fang Bai maintaining such a long duration of air tread without touching the ground was extremely rare.
The Chaos Origin Energy that Fang Bai cultivated in the Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique, although not yet achieving the realm of everlasting and inexhaustible, was several times more profound and enduring than the True Yuan of martial artists at the same rank. It was precisely with the support of this powerful True Yuan that he was able to tread through the air without touching the ground.
The man in the black robe had not yet reached the foot of the mountain when he suddenly saw a blur in front of him. Fang Bai, who had been hundreds of meters away, ghostly appeared right in front of him, blocking his escape route.
The man in the black robe inhaled sharply, his eyes flashing with ferocity. As he lunged forward, his right hand flicked, and out shot a black spherical object from his hand.
Boom—
The black spherical object exploded a zhang in front of Fang Bai, enveloping him in a pitch-black smoke, like ink.
