Chapter 2240: Chapter 2239: Poison Through and Through

Why were they just joking a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, things turned so serious? Fen Jizhi rubbed his nose, wondering if he had somehow offended Bai Ruozhu without realizing it.

Isn’t he usually a careful person? The next second, Fen Jizhi’s expression also turned serious. The opponent must be very powerful for Bai Ruozhu to change her attitude so suddenly.

Indeed, as Fen Jizhi thought, those two people hadn’t arrived yet, but Bai Ruozhu already sensed poison powder in the air. She was almost certain that if it wasn’t a poison from the ”Poison Classic,” it was at least something from a rare poison compendium similar to it.

She couldn’t afford to be careless. A skilled Poison Master can be worth a hundred samurai because they can take lives without being noticed.

Furthermore, the Quanrong people are bloodthirsty and ruthless, completely unconcerned about the harm of spreading poison widely. Their reckless attacks made Bai Ruozhu feel an uncontrollable fear.

In fact, she used the Golden Cicada Shedding tactic partly to evade the Quanrong’s siege and attack the Fire-Thunder Formation instead, and partly because she didn’t want to engage with the Quanrong in Duanyang City. Once they fought, the danger to the city’s civilians would be immense.

Even though she and the Jiuli were careful, the Quanrong wouldn’t care about the lives of ordinary people. If they resorted to trick techniques, it’s hard to say how many innocent people would suffer.

In the wilderness, Bai Ruozhu felt somewhat more at ease using poison.

She quickly tossed a green pill to Jiang Yichun. ”There’s poison everywhere, eat it quickly.”

She then threw a porcelain bottle to Fen Jizhi. ”One for each person, hurry!”

At this moment, a fierce wind attacked, and Bai Ruozhu dodged, realizing that the wind carried more potent poison.

”Still have Detoxification Medicine? Quite capable. But this old woman is in a bad mood today, and you all must die!” The old woman’s voice was extremely unpleasant, clearly damaged. Her hands turned into claws, and as she waved them in the air, a large amount of poison powder scattered out.

Bai Ruozhu quickly dodged. Although she wasn’t afraid of most poisons, it was always wise to be cautious.

”Ha, using your body in every way to test poisons, you really are committed.” Bai Ruozhu sneered. The old woman had poison hidden all over her body, unlike Bai Ruozhu who stored poison in Space. She truly used her own body, which made her skin dark and wrinkled in many places, looking like she was just very old. But it was actually caused by the poison.

Even her voice was a result of testing poisons, her vocal cords damaged, always sounding hoarse like sawing wood.

”What do you know? This is the true way of using poison. Your little tricks are like child’s play to me, nothing worth mentioning.” The old woman laughed hoarsely, her voice particularly unpleasant. If it weren’t for the fire lighting up the night sky in the distance, hearing such laughter in the pitch-black night would have been terrifying.

”Just like nurturing Poisonous Insects with the body, you’re all lunatics,” Bai Ruozhu said.

The old woman laughed, ”Our clan’s experts in body nurturing of Poisonous Insects are indeed powerful, but not everyone is qualified for it. Just like my poison, not everyone can match it!”

She struck a fierce palm toward Bai Ruozhu, mixed with some poison powder.

Bai Ruozhu swiftly dodged, channeling her inner strength to her sleeve. With a fierce swing of her arm, the poison powder was blown back by a gust of wind.

However, the old woman wasn’t afraid of her own poison. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to hide poison in her body.

”Huh? How come nothing happened?” The old woman’s face darkened when she realized Bai Ruozhu hadn’t succumbed to the poison. She realized she had underestimated her.

Nearby, Jiang Yichun and the old man were locked in an intense battle, and Gao Zhou seized the opportunity to suddenly ambush. The old man was knocked down, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

”You Jiuli people are so despicable, ambushing in a one-on-one fight?” The old man cursed unwillingly.

Gao Zhou couldn’t help but laugh, ”Who told you it was a one-on-one competition? Besides, we’re not Jiuli people and don’t have that many rules. Soon you Quanrong will know what despicable truly means!”

Seeing the old man’s injury, the old woman suddenly changed direction, rushing to him, trying to help him up.

But as soon as her hand touched him, the old man instinctively recoiled. Bai Ruozhu caught up and laughed, ”Mother-in-law, even your own husband fears the poison on you.”

The old woman trembled with anger and shouted, ”Shut up, you will all die here!”

She suddenly raised her head, letting out a long howl, and sprayed a mouthful of black blood from her mouth.

”Be careful!” Bai Ruozhu shouted, rushing to pull Jiang Yichun and Gao Zhou away. As a result, her right shoulder was hit in a few places by the old woman’s blood. Even though they were just small droplets, black smoke instantly rose from her sleeve, and Bai Ruozhu shuddered involuntarily.

She quickly stuffed a handful of green Detoxification Pills into her mouth. The old woman looked on in surprise, wondering how she hid so much medicine.

”Ruozhu, are you alright?” Jiang Yichun worriedly reached out to support her, but Bai Ruozhu avoided him. ”Don’t touch me, you two quickly retreat back into the Barrier.”

Gao Zhou grabbed Jiang Yichun and dragged him into the Barrier. ”We can’t intervene in a Poison Master’s duel; you’d only distract her from properly facing the enemy.”

Jiang Yichun bit his lip. If Bai Ruozhu hadn’t saved him and his father earlier, she wouldn’t have been injured.

”Do you think your broken Barrier can keep out my poison?” The old woman laughed loudly, looking at Bai Ruozhu with a particularly venomous gaze, as if she wished to capture and tear her apart.

”I don’t know much, but I do know your heart blood poison is limited. Unless you plan to spit it all out,” Bai Ruozhu said as she stepped back, quickly pouring drug powder onto her right shoulder.

Her right hand kept twitching—not by her will—since her entire arm was out of control.

”It’s enough to kill you!” The old woman lunged at Bai Ruozhu again, but her movements were visibly slower, showing that spitting out her heart blood had injured her too.

Bai Ruozhu dared not clash with her directly. The old woman angrily scattered more poison, but Bai Ruozhu dodged or was unaffected by the poison powder. Suddenly, a white light flashed towards the old woman, and before she could retract her move, Furball bit her.

”You...” The old woman felt her vision darken. She rapidly tapped several points on her chest, suddenly turned, grabbed the old man, and fled swiftly.

”Don’t let her escape!” Fen Jizhi pointed in the old woman’s direction and shouted, ”Everyone, aim and fire!”

Kerosene bombs flew towards the old woman’s escape route; the Jiuli mechanist, who was adept at calculating trajectories, made sure many of them led ahead, falling just as she tried to flee.
