"Master Qian" lay on his back on the ground, looking at Lu Qing with disbelief on his face.
He couldn't believe that he, as a top assassin of the Seven Kill Tower, would be defeated by such a young boy.
Moreover, they were completely and utterly crushed, without any chance to fight back.
His years of hard-earned fighting skills were utterly useless against Lu Qing, and he was completely crushed.
That powerful, dragon-like, tiger-like fist technique was truly terrifying.
Enveloping all directions and sealing everything off, leaving him no room to use his stealth escape techniques.
No matter where they flee, they will inevitably be enveloped by the force of the punches.
In front of Lu Qing, "Master Qian" felt like a fly trapped in a spider web with nowhere to escape.
What kind of monster is this?
A sense of fear rose in the heart of the "Master Qian".
Looking at the "Master Qian" lying on the ground like a dead dog, and then at Lu Qing standing tall on the wall.
All the guests were utterly shocked.
Regardless of whether this "Master Qian" is real or fake, the terrifying aura he previously unleashed was undeniable.
Everyone estimated that even if he hadn't reached the level of a martial arts grandmaster, he wasn't far off.
His swordsmanship and movement skills were equally impressive.
At least among those present, apart from Wei Xinghe and the young man in plain clothes, no one dared to claim they could withstand a single blow.
Not to mention that he also possesses that strange and unpredictable secret technique that can even shake the mind of a grandmaster-level martial artist.
Such a formidable assassin was completely unable to escape Lu Qing's pursuit and was easily defeated and captured.
From the time the assassin escaped to Lu Qing's return, only a few dozen breaths had passed, right?
The guests realized that Lu Qing's strength had probably improved significantly since the recent battle at the city gates.
"What's wrong, young master?"
Lu Qing ignored the guests' awe-inspiring gazes. The first thing he noticed was that Wei Zian, who was unconscious, looked strange.
"Young Master Lu, you've returned just in time! This villain's sword is poisoned. An'er has been cut and the poison has entered her body. She's unconscious. Lord Zhi Rui said that the poison is called Blood Fiend Poison, which is extremely vicious. Please, Young Master Lu, save An'er quickly!"
When Madam Wei saw Lu Qing return, she was overjoyed and immediately pleaded.
"Let me see!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing dared not delay and moved slightly, already on the platform.
“Patriarch Wei, please keep an eye on that assassin. I have broken all four of his limbs and dislocated his jaw. He should be no threat now.”
After saying that, he activated his supernatural ability and looked at Wei Zian.
A look of utter desolation appeared on Wei Zian's body.
【Wei Zi'an: The young master of the Wei family, of noble birth, with a resolute and cheerful personality.】
【Cultivation Level: Initial Stage of Acquired Qi Blood Realm.】
【He is afflicted with the Seven Killings Tower's extraordinary blood poison, his life hangs by a thread.】
It really is the Blood Fiend Poison.
Lu Qing felt a chill run down her spine, knowing the situation was critical.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wooden box. He opened it and took out a jade bottle and a needle pouch.
First, he opened the jade bottle and dripped several drops of medicine into Wei Zian's mouth.
Then she pulled open his shirt and inserted more than ten silver needles to help activate the medicine.
When the "Master Qian" saw this scene, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
How could the blood poison of their Seven Killings Tower be so easily neutralized?
This kid is really overestimating himself.
It's a pity his jaw was dislocated and he can't speak, otherwise he would definitely have made some sarcastic remarks.
The Qian family head's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
The reason he left so decisively earlier was not only to avoid being surrounded, but also because Wei Zian had been poisoned by his Blood Fiend Poison and was almost certainly going to die.
The Blood Fiend Poison is incredibly terrifying. Even the antidote from their Seven Kill Tower is only effective if taken within a quarter of an hour.
Once the time has passed, there is almost no chance of saving it.
He was determined to kill during this assassination attempt and did not carry the antidote with him at all.
He wanted to see how these people would react after Wei Zian died from the poison.
As an assassin, he disregarded life and death the moment he was captured.
If he could see these people's faces filled with grief before he died, it would be a great pleasure for him.
On the other side, under Lu Qing's full-force acupuncture treatment, the medicine containing earth vein essence that he gave Wei Zian quickly dissolved and exerted its medicinal effects.
Earth Vein Elixir possesses incredibly miraculous effects, capable of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bone. It is a supreme elixir created by beings far surpassing the Innate Realm.
Although the earth vein essence in this medicinal liquid has been diluted considerably, it has also been infused with century-old ginseng to replenish vitality.
Its therapeutic effects are also outstanding, making it a true life-saving medicine.
Therefore, no matter how potent the so-called Blood Fiend Poison was, it was still defeated and quickly neutralized by this life-saving elixir.
The dark aura on Wei Zian's face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And it quickly improved, becoming rosy again.
After a few dozen breaths, he opened his eyes and looked around blankly.
"Mother, what's wrong with me?"
"An'er, you're awake!" Madam Wei suddenly hugged him and wept with joy.
Wei Xinghe explained, "You were poisoned just now and almost didn't wake up. It was Young Master Lu who saved you."
"They really saved him?!"
The guests who witnessed this scene were all incredulous.
They all saw clearly just now that Wei Zian's situation was extremely critical.
The Blood Fiend Poison was extremely terrifying; just a touch of it would instantly render a person unconscious, and even the antidote from the mysterious Lord Zhi Rui was not very effective.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qing neutralized such a potent poison with the same swiftness.
As the saying goes, illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is like pulling silk from a cocoon.
The same applies to detoxification; poisoning is simple, but detoxification is much more complicated.
Lu Qing was able to resolve the issue easily, which shows how skilled he was in medicine.
His martial arts skills are unfathomably profound, and even his medical skills are amazing.
Looking at Lu Qing, whose face still showed a hint of immaturity, the guests felt increasingly that this young man was mysterious and unpredictable.
As for the "Master Qian" who had originally wanted to watch the show, his eyes were now filled with disbelief.
He couldn't believe that the Blood Fiend Poison he had spent a fortune to acquire had been neutralized so easily.
This was even harder for him to accept than being defeated and captured by Lu Qing within a few dozen breaths.
Unfortunately, his jaw was removed, so even if he couldn't believe it, he couldn't bring himself to ask questions.
After Wei Zian woke up, Lu Qing examined him again.
He was relieved to find that not only had the blood poison in his body been completely neutralized, but the wound on his arm had also healed.
Wei Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief. After comforting Wei Zian for a while, he came to the "Master Qian" and looked at him with a cold gaze.
"Who are you? Why do you want to take my son's life? Where is the real head of the Qian family?"
All the guests looked over as well.
Wei Xinghe wasn't stupid; he could naturally tell that the "Master Qian" in front of him was a fake.
The other guests felt the same way; the "Master Qian" before them was completely different from the ones they usually encountered, especially his formidable strength, which was worlds apart from the one they knew. It was impossible for them to be the same person.
"Patriarch Qian" simply stared coldly at Wei Xinghe without saying a word.
Looking at his obviously abnormal mouth, everyone remembered that Lu Qing had mentioned earlier that this person's jaw had been dislocated.
“Patriarch Wei, I have removed the poison from his mouth, so he cannot commit suicide by poisoning. However, I can heal his mouth,” Lu Qing said from the side.
Wei Xinghe stepped forward and just managed to shut up "Master Qian's" mouth.
He smiled coldly: "Why kill him? We, the assassins of the Seven Kill Tower, never need a reason to kill. As long as someone offers a bounty, we can take the head of even a king. As for that fat Qian, since I was going to impersonate him, I have already killed him!"
A chill ran through everyone.
I felt the unbridled ruthlessness of the Seven Kill Tower assassins.
"Who is it that has put a bounty on my son's life?"
Wei Xinghe was furious, but he forced himself to suppress his anger and continued to ask.
"I don't know. The rules of the Seven Kill Tower are that assassins only accept missions and don't ask why. Only headquarters knows who the bounty is. I only care about killing and getting the reward, and I don't know anything else."
At this point, a sense of resentment rose in the heart of "Master Qian".
The information he received from headquarters only stated that the Wei family had a martial arts master with perfect internal organs and an ancestor who was severely injured.
But it didn't mention that there was a monster as monstrous as Lu Qing.
With such a large error in intelligence, there are only two possibilities.
First, headquarters deliberately tricked him by providing him with incorrect intelligence.
Secondly, the employer concealed the information and did not want to pay higher compensation.
But regardless of which one it is, the current result is that he has been terribly wronged.
You bastard, don't let me go back alive, or I'll find out exactly which bastard tricked me!
The "Master Qian" made a vicious vow in his heart.
"Since you know nothing, there's no need for you to stay!"
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Wei Xinghe was annoyed and didn't want to waste any more words. He was about to raise his hand and kill the man to vent his anger.
"Wait a moment, Patriarch Wei." Just then, the young man in plain clothes spoke up to stop Wei Xinghe. "May I ask you a few questions?"
"Please, Your Excellency Zhi Rui."
Wei Xinghe stopped fighting and moved aside.
He still held the young man in plain clothes in high esteem.
If he hadn't informed Doctor Chen and Lu Qing that day, the Wei family would probably have been wiped out long ago.
He was the one who reminded Zi'an earlier, sealed Zi'an's blood and qi, and even took out an antidote pill; otherwise, Zi'an might not have been able to hold on until Lu Qing returned.
Therefore, Wei Xinghe naturally had no objection to this small request from the young man in plain clothes.
The young man in plain clothes stood in front of "Master Qian," but the other party just looked at him coldly, as if he had no regard for life or death.
However, the young man in plain clothes said something that made his expression change immediately.
"I've long heard that the Seven Kill Tower is home to countless assassins, among whom the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends are the most famous. May I ask which of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals you are?"
