Translator: 549690339
Pill Sect, Pill Array.
Fang Lin gazed at Dugu Nian, his face full of helplessness, secretly lamented that he had run into a crazy girl who had entangled him.
Dugu Nian, in her hand, teased the deep-red flame, her eyes fixated on Fang Lin like that of a hunter watching its prey.
“I want to compete with you in controlling fire!” Dugu Nian persisted in challenging Fang Lin, seeming utterly oblivious to the escalating tension outside.
Fang Lin ignored her, concluding the girl had gone mad.
Seeing Fang Lin silent, Dugu Nian clenched her teeth, slapped the Nine Palace Bag, and a silver spear whistled out, charging straight at Fang Lin.
“What’s wrong with you? If I don’t compete with you, will you attack me?” Fang Lin, scared by the incoming spear, made a narrow escape using the Nine Heavens Step Skill.
However, the spear seemed endowed with a mind of its own, as it suddenly turned in mid-air and charged at Fang Lin again.
Fang Lin sighed, realizing avoiding the fight was not an option.
From the Nine Palace Bag, Fang Lin drew a dagger. Using the Nine Heavens Step Skill, he dodged repeatedly like a wisp of smoke, evading the spear’s onslaught.
Seizing an opportunity, Fang Lin dodged the spear and dashed towards Dugu Nian, dagger aimed straight at her.
For this strike, Fang Lin didn’t hold back at all, fully intending to kill Dugu Nian.
In Fang Lin’s opinion, with the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect and the Pill Sect now out in the open, the situation had already escalated to this level; even the leader of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect was likely to fall victim to the Pill Sect today, let alone a Dugu Nian.
Without the slightest sympathy for the fairer sex, Fang Lin was a very decisive person. Even if one were as beautiful as a celestial being, he would not hesitate to strike when necessary.
Dugu Nian was as if foolishly rooted to the spot, not making any attempt to dodge.
Seeing Dugu Nian’s lack of response, Fang Lin was pleased. “This stroke is meant to take your life. If you won’t dodge, that just makes it easier for me,” he thought.
But Fang Lin’s actions startled many who were observing, including Gu Daofeng and other elite members of the Pill Sect.
“Stop!”
“Don’t do it!”
“Fang Lin, stop immediately!”
Whether it was Gu Daofeng, Yan Zhengfeng, or Meng Wuyou, all shouted out in shock towards Fang Lin.
The people of Ten-thousand Medicine Sect were also pale-faced. The elder surnamed Gong was so scared that he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Fang Lin’s dagger stopped just before Dugu Nian’s throat. The pointed end of the dagger had even pierced Dugu Nian’s fair skin, blood trickling down from her white neck.
Upon feeling the pain, Dugu Nian swayed slightly, her face turning ashen.
Fang Lin shot a resentful glimpse at the people on the stone platform. “If it weren’t for you guys asking me to stop, I would’ve killed Dugu Nian by now,” he thought.
Seeing that Fang Lin had halted, the crowd on the platform breathed a sigh of relief. The elder surnamed Gong was especially relieved, having broken out in cold sweat within that short moment.
During that moment, Gu Daofeng was also terrified. They were nearly killed by Fang Lin.
If Dugu Nian were killed, it would be akin to creating a deadly feud with the Dugu Family of the Great Xuan Country.
The power of the Great Xuan Country even surpasses that of the Daqian Kingdom. The Dugu Family is the top force in the Great Xuan Country, and compared to them, the Purple Mist Sect is still two levels behind.
Dugu Nian could die anywhere, but absolutely not in the Purple Mist Sect. Otherwise, it would lead to an all-encompassing calamity.
The elder surnamed Gong was also extremely frightened. If Fang Lin killed Dugu Nian, the Purple Mist Sect would definitely be the first to suffer, but his Ten-thousand Medicine Sect wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility either. When the Dugu Family was provoked, they estimated that the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect would hardly be spared.
Fortunately, the most feared situation did not happen.
But soon after, they found that something was wrong again. Dugu Nian’s face was getting greener, and blackness was starting to surface between her eyebrows.
“Bad! She is poisoned!” The elder surnamed Gong saw this, his heart that had iust started to rest. rose uD in fear again.
“Gu Daofeng, this girl cannot die. Otherwise, neither of our families will be able to escape the consequences,” the elder surnamed Gong, surrounded in the middle of the stone platform, unable to move, anxiously said to Gu Daofeng.
Gu Daofeng glanced at Meng Wuyou below, who understood and immediately rushed to Fang Lin. Deeming there was no time to explain anything to Fang Lin, he directly examined Dugu Nian’s condition.
Fang Lin complained from the side: “I’ve said elder, what’s going on with you guys? This girl is nothing but trouble. If I kill her, everything will be over. Judging by the situation, the people of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect won’t be able to leave today. Killing one more won’t make much of a difference.”
Meng Wuyou responded irritably: “Do you even know who she is? If she died here in my Pill Sect, we would have to face the wrath of the Dugu Family. No one can bear that.”
Fang Lin paused: “The Dugu family? Are they impressive? I’ve never heard of such a force within the territory of the Daqian Kingdom.”
Meng Wuyou replied with frustration: “The Dugu family is not a force within the Daqian kingdom, but the top force in the Great Xuan kingdom, stronger than our Purple Mist Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin finally understood. Looking at Dugu Nian, who lay on the ground, unconscious, his gaze changed.
“So she has such a strong backing, no wonder she’s so arrogant and domineering. But such people usually die young,” Fang Lin said contemptuously.
Meng Wuyou had no words, already preoccupied with detoxifying Dugu Nian and unable to argue with Fang Lin.
Dugu Nian was indeed poisoned, and not by an ordinary one, but by a poison personally concocted by Fang Lin.
The dagger had been dipped in poison. Inside the Medicine-Seeking Peak, Fang Lin had used this dagger to poison a crocodile of the Eighth Layer of One Transformation.
Now, although Dugu Nian was only cut a little, the toxin had already invaded her body. In just a moment, the toxin had gone deep.
Meng Wuyou didn’t notice it at first, but once he did, his heart instantly chilled.
“This is terrible! The toxin is already running along her heart meridian. What kind of poison is this? Why is the toxicity so aggressive?” Meng Wuyou murmured, suddenly turning to glare at Fang Lin.
“You brat, what are you standing there for? Where is the antidote? She can’t die. You can’t imagine the consequences!” Meng Wuyou said hurriedly. Fang Lin shrugged his shoulders: “I don’t have an antidote.”
Meng Wuyou was so annoyed he felt like kicking Fang Lin out. His anxiety grew at the direness of the situation.
At this time, several elders of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect also rushed over. Without any time to settle accounts with Fang Lin, they busily used their techniques to detoxify Dugu Nian.
However, they soon realized to their distress that they couldn’t suppress the toxin, and its intensity was deepening.
At this moment, Dugu Nian’s face had turned entirely black, and her breath was growing fainter. Judging her condition, she couldn’t last more than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.
The few elders of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect looked at each other in dismay, all seemed to envision the terrifying scene of the wrath of the Dugu Family in the near future..
