Chapter 1635: Chapter 1628: Don’t Kill Him

”Miss Bai, I apologize for being late. I got caught up with something, and now I’m here. I must have startled you. Leave the rest to me.”

”Elder Wu, this is not your fault,” Bai Zhiqing shook her head and said.

”Alright, Miss Bai, you can watch from the side. I’ll take over from here.”

Wu Tao nodded to Bai Zhiqing and looked at the man impersonating Lu Tianxing with a full face of killing intent. His eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent. After Lu Tianxing left Beijing, he was ordered to protect Bai Zhiqing. He had been secretly protecting Bai Zhiqing these days. It should have been fine when he left for a few minutes today, but Wu Tao never expected trouble in those few minutes.

If he had been a few seconds late, Bai Zhiqing and the others would have been in danger. This filled Wu Tao’s heart with an uncontrollable killing intent. He had hoped to curry favor with Lu Tianxing, expecting Lu Tianxing to guide him after breaking through to the Late Stage of Mythical. If anything happened to Bai Zhiqing, it would be fortunate enough that Lu Tianxing wouldn’t kill him, let alone guide him.

”Good, excellent, I didn’t expect someone fearless to come and trouble Miss Bai today. I will crush your bones one by one, making you wish you were dead.”

Wu Tao’s voice was filled with cold murderous intent.

”Crush my bones one by one? Do you think you can catch me?”

The man’s eyes also flashed with bloodthirsty killing intent. As soon as he finished speaking, without hesitation, his arm moved, and sky-high Sword Qi surged like an ocean, waves rushing towards Wu Tao.

It was none other than another of Lu Tianxing’s master skills, the Canglang Sword Technique.

”Hmph, garbage is garbage, copying others’ moves; it seems you’re nothing more than this.”

As he spoke, a hint of a disdainful smile flashed in Wu Tao’s eyes. He took a step forward, his True Qi pushed to the extreme. It seemed as if a pine tree arose from behind him, countless leaves floated in the wind, like autumn sweeping away leaves, flying through the void. The sword light exploded upon touching the leaves, instantly swept away.

”Kneel before me.”

Wu Tao’s True Qi surged, traversing the void as if walking on solid ground. In a blink, he appeared beside the man. The Divine Wood True Qi behind him transformed into a willow tree. Willow branches whipped through the air like long whips, striking at the man.

The man’s face suddenly changed, feeling a surge of fierce True Qi. His heart was in extreme shock. Immediately, his body shook, True Qi burst forth, forming behind him into a dragon and a tiger. They interchanged acrobatically in mid-air, lifelike, fierce, and violently met the willow branches striking like pythons.

”Dragon Struggle, Tiger Fight.”

The man finally began using his own martial skills. He was well aware that while he could mimic others’ martial arts, they were never truly his own and couldn’t display actual power. If he continued imitating Lu Tianxing’s techniques, his only fate would be death.

Boom!

The dragon and tiger collided with the willow branches, immediately stirring up a limitless gale and waves. A terrifying Qi Force swept around, lifting layers of stone slabs into the air, shattering them in all directions.

”Forest of All Trees.”

Wu Tao’s expression became solemn. Behind him, a forest of willow trees condensed again, as if a forest of willows covered the void. The overwhelming willow branches appeared, enveloping the dragon and tiger, thrashing them into pieces.

After crushing the dragon and tiger, the willow branches formed by True Qi didn’t pause, directly striking the man. The horrible force made the air tremble repeatedly, emitting a series of explosions, as if the sky had collapsed.

”Damn, just who is this old guy, his power is so terrifying. Could it be someone sent by the Lu Family?”

The man’s face was extremely ugly now. He could no longer concern himself with anything else, quickly striking with both palms. A dragon’s roar echoed as True Qi erupted around him, forming a Dragon Python, wrapping around him, viciously striking at the willow branches.

However, before the man’s move hit the willow branches, his body suddenly trembled uncontrollably. The Dragon Python he summoned disappeared entirely, like a deflated balloon, devoid of any strength.

”Elder Wu, stop quickly, he’s already done for. Don’t kill him.”

At this moment, Mandala’s voice suddenly came from the side, filled with urgency.

Hearing Mandala’s voice, Wu Tao didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately dispersed the True Qi around him; the willow branches in the sky vanished without a trace.

For a master, exerting seventy percent of strength and leaving thirty percent for contingency is a common practice, so stopping the attack wasn’t difficult for Wu Tao.

”Elder Wu, thank you for your help just now.”

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing, accompanied by Mandala and others, walked to the front.

”Haha, Miss Bai, you’re too polite. It was just a small effort. I just hope you won’t blame me for being late,” Wu Tao said with a smile to Bai Zhiqing.

”Elder Wu, you’re too modest. If it weren’t for you, we might have already been captured by him.”

Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath and said, ”Of course, Fu Tu and Tie Niu, you both put in a lot of effort too. Thank you.”

”Sister-in-law, you’re too kind. This is what we should do.”

Tie Niu and Fu Tu shook their heads, their eyes falling on the man, with an unconcealable look of mockery on their faces.

Although with their strength, they might not be able to handle this man, they certainly wouldn’t be as strained as before. To be precise, their injuries earlier were just an act they and Mandala had prepared.

They understood very well that if someone really wanted to harm Bai Zhiqing, anyone with half a brain would know that Modu is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Unless a master comes, there is only one dead end. If someone intends to harm Bai Zhiqing, they will surely send a master.

Moreover, Lu Tianxing’s identity in China is no longer a secret. The other side, if sending someone, would naturally be cautious of Mandala. So, just in case, Mandala discussed with them that if someone came to harm Bai Zhiqing, she would expose herself and deliberately use poison. If successful, that would be best, but if not, it would be their turn. During the fight, they would secretly poison; the other party might guard against Mandala but might not against Fu Tu and Tie Niu.

However, Tie Niu and Fu Tu hadn’t expected that this man would be poisoned so late.

”Tie Niu, Fu Tu, your performance just now was excellent. If there’s a chance, I’ll send you two to Hollywood for further training, so you can dominate the Oscars.”

At this moment, Mandala, who had been silent, gave a thumbs-up to Tie Niu and Fu Tu, then turned her gaze to the man, with an unconcealable mocking and ironic expression: ”How does it feel to be poisoned? This is a moment of relaxation I specially prepared for you guys. How does it taste!”

Hearing Mandala’s words, the man was shocked: ”That’s impossible. I obviously took a secret Detoxification Pill from the Tang Family. Moreover, I dispelled all your poisons, and I haven’t had any contact with you. How could I be poisoned?”

Speaking, the man tried hard to stand up from the ground but felt like his whole body was boneless, with no strength at all, let alone using True Qi.

”Anything is possible, haven’t you heard that phrase before? Didn’t you study?”

Mandala’s mockery deepened, and she sneered: ”But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. I’m generous. Since I want to kill you, I’ll let you die knowing why. I indeed didn’t poison you, and the poison mist you stopped too, but don’t forget that you fought with Fu Tu and Tie Niu...”

Mandala hadn’t finished speaking when the man interrupted: ”They poisoned me just now?”

”Of course. Do you really think I’m a fool? In Jiangnan, I got tricked once. You learn from your mistakes, so I made a dual plan, having Tie Niu poison you. Clearly, the plan succeeded. However, I didn’t expect this secretly-made poison from the Tang Family to be remarkable, delaying the effect until now. It seems my poison still needs improvement.”

Mandala spoke with a smile, but a deep regret flashed across her face.

The Tang Family’s poison is renowned; it seems it’s not just talk. This ’moment of relaxation’ was specially concocted to deal with Mythical Level Martial Artists. Even at a middle stage of Mythical, one would feel weak and powerless within seconds after being poisoned. But Mandala never expected this man, after taking the Tang Family’s secret detox pill, to resist for so long. The Tang Family’s skills in making poison are indeed extraordinary.

At the same time, Mandala felt a surge of gratitude, thankful that this man didn’t intend to kill Bai Zhiqing but planned to capture her to threaten Lu Tianxing. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Listening to the dialogue between Mandala and the man, a trace of horror crossed Wu Tao’s face as he instinctively moved aside, trying to distance himself from Mandala. He hadn’t really noticed every afternoon after picking up Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru and others, Mandala, who seemed only eighteen or nineteen years old, turned out to be so terrifying. Her incredible poison skills could likely even trap him.
