Peerless Medical Emperor

The view before them was now much clearer than before.

This feat of scattering the mist with a single palm strike left Hu Bufan and Zhang Jin utterly stunned.

”What powerful Inner Strength.”

”To think he could scatter such a dense fog hundreds of yards away with just Palm Force.”

Zhang Jin said, completely shocked.

Hu Bufan, standing beside him, was equally astonished.

”Yes, this kid’s power is extraordinary. We need to be careful.”

Hu Bufan said grimly.

”No matter how extraordinary his power is, he’s finished once he runs into these poisonous scorpions.”

”These poisonous scorpions were concocted by the White Crown Poison King, one of the Ten Great Poison Kings serving under our Palace Master.”

”Its venom is so potent that even a Master-level expert would have their Heart Meridian destroyed if poisoned.”

Although Zhang Jin felt a flicker of worry, he was still confident in the scorpions.

”That’s right! What the hell are we afraid of?”

Hu Bufan’s confidence returned, and he stared coldly at Chen Qingdi.

”Kid, I can see you have some real power. I can’t bear to kill you. How about this: kill your companions as a show of loyalty, and I’ll sponsor your entry into our Evil God Hall. In fact, I’ll get you into the Evil God Hall headquarters itself.”

Hu Bufan said with a smile, extending the invitation to Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi walked out of the cave, perfectly calm.

In front of the cave, swarms of scorpions had already surrounded Chen Qingdi.

Yet Chen Qingdi remained utterly unfazed.

Hu Bufan took out a black whistle and began to blow it.

As he blew the whistle, vast swarms of scorpions went berserk, surging toward Chen Qingdi.

Even though Chen Qingdi had just scattered the surrounding mist with a single palm strike, Hu Bufan and Zhang Jin refused to believe he could handle so many Crimson-Strain Poison Scorpions.

At first, the scorpions appeared green, but as the whistle blew, their bodies gradually took on a dark-red hue.

”Haha, now you see why they’re called Crimson-Strain Poison Scorpions!”

”The sound of the whistle awakens the main venom sac within their bodies.”

”A single sting from one of these, and even if you don’t die, you’ll wish you had. So what if you’re an expert at the Guiyuan Realm?”

Hu Bufan and Zhang Jin watched Chen Qingdi with cold indifference.

But Chen Qingdi remained perfectly composed, without the slightest hint of panic.

Vast swarms of the Crimson-Strain Poison Scorpions had now completely encircled Chen Qingdi.

Yet Chen Qingdi simply continued to walk forward at a slow, steady pace.

Swarms of the venomous scorpions crawled directly onto his body.

Now, his hands, legs, and torso were completely covered in scorpions, yet he continued to walk forward.

He seemed completely unaffected. The sight left Hu Bufan and Zhang Jin dumbstruck.

”What’s going on?”

”How is this kid totally fine?”

Zhang Jin asked Hu Bufan, his face etched with confusion.

”Yes, I’m baffled too. By all rights, with so many scorpions, a single sting should have been enough to finish him off.”

”But he’s completely unaffected,” Hu Bufan said.

”Oh no, the kid’s getting closer.”

”I have a growing feeling he’s not going to be easy to deal with.”

”Let’s fall back.”

Hu Bufan said to Zhang Jin and the henchmen behind them.

”Right.”

Zhang Jin nodded quickly.

They then retreated hastily.

After retreating several hundred yards, they reached a high platform. Many large boulders were arrayed there, ready to be pushed down to crush Chen Qingdi the moment he approached.

Chen Qingdi’s pace didn’t falter.

”Your Excellency, Medical Emperor, don’t go any further!”

”There are large boulders up ahead.”

”They’re waiting for you to get closer.”

Mu Qingfeng said, his face fraught with worry.

He was currently relying on a final reserve of Inner Strength to protect his Heart Meridian, but the poison had already seeped into his limbs and spread throughout his body.

If he didn’t get the antidote soon, Mu Qingfeng wouldn’t live much longer.

Even Murong Fei, the one most skilled in antidotes, had collapsed on the ground, unable to stand.

He had already taken several of his own Antitoxic Pills, but they seemed to have no effect.

The Crimson-Strain Scorpion’s venom was simply too potent; it was beyond Murong Fei’s ability to counteract.

All Murong Fei could do now was wait to die.

He never imagined that a mere branch of the Evil God Hall would be so difficult to overcome.

If they continued on, who knew what other troubles awaited them.

Chen Qingdi showed no sign of backing down, continuing to stride forward.

”You’ve got some real nerve, kid.”

”Do you have any idea what will happen to you if you keep walking?”

”Stop right there.”

”Collect your brothers’ corpses, then get the hell out of this valley. The Celestial Cloud Branch of the Evil God Hall is a place you can never hope to enter.”

Zhang Jin sneered at Chen Qingdi arrogantly.

But Chen Qingdi didn’t stop.

Chen Qingdi was still covered in scorpions, but with a slight shake of his body...

BOOM! A powerful wave of energy erupted from him, blasting all the scorpions away.

A faint barrier of Qi now protected Chen Qingdi. The scorpions tried to pounce on him, but it was impossible; the moment they got close, they were flung away.

This scene left Zhang Jin and Hu Bufan dumbfounded once again.

”Is this kid afraid of anything?”

”And why can’t the scorpions get near him anymore?”

”He must have been stung earlier, so why is he completely fine?”

Zhang Jin was utterly bewildered.

Hu Bufan was completely baffled.

The henchmen standing behind the two also began to panic.

”Zhang, Hu... maybe we’re not on the same level as him at all.”

”His cultivation realm... I’m afraid it’s above the Guiyuan Realm.”

”I think he might even be a Grandmaster.”

”Someone like that can become immune to all poisons just by relying on their internal Qi Strength.”

Several of the henchmen behind them chimed in.

Hearing this, Hu Bufan and Zhang Jin struggled to maintain a calm facade, but inwardly they were deeply worried.

After all, Chen Qingdi was getting closer and closer.

He was about to reach their position.

”None of you are leaving here today,” Chen Qingdi said, his cold gaze fixed on Hu Bufan and Zhang Jin.

”Hmph!”

”Don’t be afraid, everyone! We still have the boulders!”

”The moment that kid gets close, we’ll push them down and crush him to death!”

Zhang Jin shouted.

”Right!”

His men all nodded quickly, taking their positions by the boulders, ready to push at a moment’s notice.

But even as they nodded, they were still deeply worried.

They had no confidence that they would win.
