Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Poison Barrier
"Alright."
Qingyan nodded.
The two then went off toward their respective targets.
They carried the needles they used for medical practice with them.
After approaching Zhao Tong, Qingyan aimed a needle at the Qinghan Acupoint on the back of his head.
However, Zhao Tong suddenly struck out at her with his palm.
Seeing this, Qingyan quickly retreated, but she was a little too slow and was struck by the palm strike.
She was sent flying. Chen Yuan’s face filled with worry when he saw this.
"Master, should I go help her?"
Chen Yuan looked at Qingyan with concern.
"There’s no need. If they can’t even handle a small matter like this, then they have no business being in the Medical Dao Alliance. They are high-level Medical Cultivators, after all. Dealing with a few people who have lost control of their minds shouldn’t be a problem."
Chen Qingdi said.
Although Chen Yuan was still worried, since his master had spoken, all he could do was obey.
Qingyan executed a "Sweeping Autumn Leaves" maneuver, leaping into the air. Seizing the split-second opportunity, she plunged the needle directly into Zhao Tong’s Qinghan Acupoint.
The once-menacing Zhao Tong fell to the ground with a THUD.
Next, using the same method, Qingyan took care of Mu Qingfeng and Master Hei.
Meanwhile, Mingyao was also close to finishing her task.
It had to be said, they were making good progress.
"I told you not to worry. See? Aren’t they doing a fine job now?"
Chen Qingdi said with a smile.
"Of course, we wouldn’t have succeeded so quickly without the Medical Emperor’s guidance."
Qingyan said with a smile.
That smile was truly captivating; most people would find it irresistible.
But what kind of man was Chen Qingdi? What kind of beauty hadn’t he seen before?
Master Hei and the others finally came to their senses.
"What’s going on?"
"For a while there, it was like I had amnesia."
Master Hei said with a wry smile.
"What’s going on? You can’t even figure that out? You were poisoned by the incense here."
"Weren’t you listening when Qingyan explained it earlier?"
Zhao Tong shot Master Hei a glare.
It seemed the two of them couldn’t see eye to eye.
"You were poisoned too, so you’ve got no room to talk."
"It seems we can’t stay here any longer. We need to leave this place at once."
"Lord Medical Emperor, let’s go now."
Zhao Tong looked at Chen Qingdi.
"We can go, but this entire forest is filled with the poison incense. If you inhale it, you’ll lose control of your minds again."
"Sink your qi into your Dantian, steady your minds, and hold your breath."
Chen Qingdi instructed.
Everyone did as Chen Qingdi said. They then strode forward, glancing around from time to time as they walked.
They couldn’t shake the feeling that pairs of eyes were watching them from within the woods.
As they neared the edge of the forest, a sudden RUSTLE sounded out.
Everyone looked up to see a figure moving through the branches and leaves. He quickly arrived at a large tree on the edge of the woods and looked down at them with a cold gaze.
"Who are you?"
Master Hei asked, his eyes cold as he stared at the man standing atop the tree.
"Are you an idiot?"
"Don’t you know where you are?"
"I am, of course, a member of the Evil God Hall."
the man said arrogantly.
"And how should we address you?"
Chen Yuan asked.
"I am Qiu Ming, a Vice Envoy of the Evil God Hall."
"If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stick out your necks one by one for me to chop off."
"Otherwise, you’ll soon wish you were dead."
Qiu Ming declared with a smirk.
"You? A Martial Artist who hasn’t even reached the Guiyuan Realm?"
"Every single one of us here is stronger than you. Open your dog eyes and take a good look."
Master Hei had a very fiery temper.
Zhao Tong couldn’t stand it either.
"Chen, Lord Medical Emperor, there’s no need for you to act."
"Just this guy? The two of us can handle him. What do you say, Master Hei? Let’s take him on together."
Zhao Tong said, looking at Master Hei with a smile.
Although both of them were stronger than this Qiu Ming, this was enemy territory. Who knew what other tricks they had up their sleeves?
It’s always better to be safe than sorry. That was why Zhao Tong suggested he and Master Hei deal with Qiu Ming together.
Master Hei understood Zhao Tong’s reasoning and nodded immediately.
"Come at me together. I’ve already set up a Poison Barrier in this area."
"If you get close to me, you’re dead."
Qiu Ming said coldly.
"Is that so?"
"You’re quite the poser."
"I’d like to see just where you’ve set this Poison Barrier."
With that, Zhao Tong strode forward, preparing to forcibly take down Qiu Ming, the Vice Envoy of this Evil God Hall branch.
A Vice Envoy’s authority wasn’t great. Above them were the Chief Envoy, the Head Chief Envoy, the Left and Right Branch Guardians, and the Vice Palace Master and Palace Master.
"Fifteen meters ahead, there’s a Poison Barrier. Be careful."
Chen Qingdi said.
Sure enough, after Zhao Tong had rushed forward fifteen meters, there was a HUM, followed by a BANG from the ground. A cloud of poison mist erupted, enveloping him completely.
Although Zhao Tong was startled, he immediately calmed his mind. Holding his breath, he thrust a palm forward, blasting away the surrounding poison mist.
At the same time, Master Hei also dashed forward, attacking Qiu Ming from another direction.
But to Master Hei’s surprise, although Qiu Ming’s combat strength was average—not even at the Guiyuan Realm...
...his Body Technique was exceptionally strange and incredibly fast. It was a technique designed for escaping.
He probably knew his own strength was lacking, which was why he specialized in Body Techniques.
"Damn it, this guy’s an expert with poisons."
"Master Hei, be careful."
"I bet he’s carrying a lot of poisons on him, like toxic powders and whatnot."
Zhao Tong shouted to Master Hei as he emerged from the poison mist.
Although the two of them often bickered and seemed to dislike each other, they were actually good friends.
With Zhao Tong and Master Hei joining forces, Qiu Ming was clearly outmatched. He raised his hand and threw something at the two of them.
"Fall back!"
Chen Qingdi shouted upon seeing this.
Zhao Tong and Master Hei quickly retreated.
But they were a step too late.
They had assumed it was another type of poison powder, but they never expected it to be a Thunder Pearl.
BANG!
Zhao Tong and Master Hei were sent flying by the blast, injuring their arms and legs.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ming leaped onto a high tree branch and said with a grin, "How about that? My Thunder Pearl is pretty decent, right?"
"I forgot to mention, I added poison to the Thunder Pearl."
"You’ve been poisoned. It will take effect soon, and then you’ll be in excruciating pain. How about it? Scared now?"
Hearing Qiu Ming’s words, Zhao Tong and Master Hei were startled, and their expressions became extremely grim.
