Chapter 110: Turned back
"The cold yin frost poison can freeze the dantian, then erode the meridians. After the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians are all poisoned, one will experience numbness in the limbs, stiff muscles throughout the body, and even the inability to move the throat, making it impossible to speak." Before Yuan Ming could say anything, Ba Da had already walked out with a sense of self-satisfaction.
"It’s you again, you..."
Before Yuan Ming could finish his sentence, his throat suddenly choked up, unable to make a sound. His raised hand also stiffened, with veins protruding on his arm, indicating that the poison had already spread through his meridians.
At this moment, Yuan Ming felt regretful. He blamed himself for being too eager to save others and let his guard down, failing to notice when these people had followed them.
Seeing that Yuan Ming couldn’t move, Ba Da took out a sharp knife and turned to Kun Tu, asking, "Should I disable his tendons first, then pierce his collarbone, leaving him a breath of air for you to slowly torture? Is that okay?"
"Sure, he killed the people from the Beast Slave Hall, and even the Third Hall Master can’t protect him. We don’t need to kill him secretly. Let’s take him back to the sect. Maybe we can get some benefits." Kun Tu nodded and smiled.
When Ba Da turned around, his face no longer had that harmless look. Instead, it was filled with resentment and hatred.
"Yuan, if it weren’t for you interfering, I would have controlled Chen Wan with medicine and made her my slave. Now that she has become an inner disciple, I have no chance anymore. It’s all your fault." Ba Da approached Yuan Ming step by step, accusing him of his "crimes."
Yuan Ming struggled to move his throat, seemingly wanting to say something, but he couldn’t make a sound no matter how hard he tried.
"You deserve to die." Ba Da came to his side and cursed, leaning over.
When the distance between the two of them was close enough, Ba Da suddenly heard a sigh. "Ah, I wanted to get rid of Kun Tu first, or at least Hu Huo. You unlucky fool brought this upon yourself."
Ba Da’s pupils suddenly contracted, quickly retreating.
However, Yuan Ming, who was lying on the ground, suddenly slapped the ground with his hand, and his whole body bounced up. The hand that had been hidden in his sleeve revealed itself, holding a crimson curved horn, which pierced Ba Da’s throat.
With a "chirp" sound, Ba Da didn’t even have time to react. He was directly pierced through the throat by the crimson curved horn, and blood gushed out.
He covered his throat with both hands, and blood continued to seep through his fingers. He took steps back, his mouth wide open in shock, wanting to say something, but his mouth was already filled with pink blood foam.
He hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, pulled out the stopper, and poured the powder inside onto the wound on his neck.
The loss of a large amount of blood caused his hands to tremble violently. A large amount of powder was scattered, but none of it fell on the horrifying wound.
Yuan Ming calmly watched this scene, tightly gripping the crimson curved horn. He absorbed a large amount of pure yang energy from it, neutralizing the last trace of cold yin frost poison in his body. With a sword in his other hand, he stepped forward and beheaded Ba Da.
This sudden change shocked Kun Tu and the others.
None of them had expected that Yuan Ming had a method to quickly remove Ba Da’s poison. They also didn’t expect that everything Yuan Ming had shown before was just a deception.
He had already removed the poison, but he pretended that the poison was intensifying step by step. If Ba Da hadn’t acted first, any one of them who approached him would have been defeated.
"Just with you useless people, you want to kill me? Have you ever considered your own abilities?" Yuan Ming kicked Ba Da’s head away and looked at Kun Tu and the others.
"You, very good!" Kun Tu narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Not bad, I’m doing great now. By the way, Kun Tu, you better be able to kill me this time, otherwise I will definitely take your head as a chamber pot." Yuan Ming mocked, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the distant mountains and forests.
As the one-eyed woman took a step, a yellow halo suddenly lit up on the ground beside her. Three sharp wooden spikes in a "品" shape burst out from the ground, aiming straight at her body.
Her reaction was extremely quick. With a flick of her wrist, the whip coiled around her waist shot straight into the sky, piercing a thick branch above with a "thud".
Using the pull of the whip, she leapt up, avoiding the wooden spikes, and flew into the air.
Just as she was about to land on the branch, the surrounding branches and vines suddenly came to life like snakes, coiling towards her.
The one-eyed woman was already in mid-air, and the only thing she could use to leverage was the branch above.
Unfortunately, before she could change direction, the branch above softened like a noodle, twisted around the whip, and lifted her up.
Seeing the situation was unfavorable, she released her magical power from within her body. The barbs on the whip burst forth with a fierce power, instantly breaking the branch.
She fell towards the ground.
But before she could land, the surrounding vines and branches had already twisted together, forming a vine cage, trapping her in the center.
Seeing this, the one-eyed woman immediately took out a round, black iron ball from her sleeve. After infusing it with magical power, she threw it down.
At the same time, she curled up, her body glowing with a dark yellow light, as if she had cast some earth-based spell.
"Boom"
The next instant, a ball of fire exploded from below.
The converging vines had not yet fully formed the wooden cage when they were destroyed by this sudden burst of power, scattering in all directions.
"Earth Fire Thunder?" Yuan Ming frowned. He had seen other senior brothers refining it in the Fire Refining Hall.
The one-eyed woman was blasted upwards by the force, then fell towards the ground.
The yellow glow around her had long since dissipated, and her arms and back were burned to varying degrees, looking somewhat disheveled.
The moment she landed, she lashed out with her whip towards the empty space behind her, guarding against an attack from an unknown source.
However, the whip hit nothing but air, making a "snap" sound!
She didn’t dare to linger and immediately tried to run back.
But the moment she turned around, Yuan Ming’s figure emerged from the ancient tree. With a light tap of his toes, he silently executed the Shadowless Step, chasing after the one-eyed woman.
The latter felt a chill run down her spine. Without turning her head, the black wooden hairpin on her head was driven by magical power and shot back.
Yuan Ming ducked and charged forward, avoiding the black wooden hairpin. At the same time, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the Green Fish Sword appeared. He gripped it and thrust it forward, aiming straight for the one-eyed woman’s heart.
