The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 231
Surprisingly, Chu Wanning wasn’t injured. In the nick of time, it was Mo Ran who reacted quickly and stood in front of the figure with the dark green cloak fluttering in the wind. That person’s dagger had already sunk into his shoulder, leaving only the hilt with a silver snake pattern on it. Mo Ran’s shoulder clothes were instantly dyed red with blood. He lowered his eyebrows and clenched his teeth. His eyes flashed with a cold light.
Those were the fierce eyes of a falcon when it finally killed a cunning rabbit.
“Grandmaster Hua.” He suddenly tightened his grip on Hua Bi’nan’s hand that was still holding the dagger. Enduring the pain, he pulled the dagger out of his own flesh. His forehead was covered in fine beads of cold sweat, but he still clenched his teeth and mocked, “You sneak-attacked my Shizun from behind. Do you think I’m dead?”
The night wind blew, ruffling the green gauze that Hua Bi’nan had put on again to cover his ugly face. Hua Bi’nan was silent for a moment, then said, “How long has Grandmaster Mo been suspecting me?”
“Ever since you were poisoned and stayed on the mountainside.”
Hua Bi’nan chuckled. “Oh … that was something I couldn’t do anything about. After all, I was hoping to kill a group of people in the main hall.”
Mo Ran gritted his teeth and said, “Why did you stop Xu Shuanglin earlier?”
“What else could I do? Let the formation change and let him realize that the Rebirth Formation that he worked so hard to set up was fake? Wouldn’t that be big trouble? ”
At this time, Chu Wanning had already struck down Heaven’s Inquisition, directly at the center of this mysterious formation. However, as soon as it landed, he was shocked to find that the spiritual aura of this formation was so strong that it couldn’t be easily suppressed. When he turned around, he saw Mo Ran standing behind him, his shoulder injured by Hua Bi’nan’s dagger. He couldn’t help but feel anxious. “Mo Ran —”
“Don’t worry about me,” Mo Ran said. “Destroying the formation is more important. I’ll guard this place.”
Chu Wanning couldn’t do anything about it. Inside the secret array, there was a vicious flow of Spirit Qi that he had never come into contact with before. Even the Rainbow Butterfly Suppressing the Heavens and Splitting the Heavens couldn’t compare to it. He continued to pour his Spirit Qi into Heaven’s Inquisition, but he could only prevent the array from continuing to evolve, but he had no way to make it disappear.
On the other side, Jiang Xi suddenly understood, but he couldn’t believe that the First Divine Hand of his sect had an ulterior motive behind his back. He couldn’t help but feel defeated. After a while, he said, “Hua Bi’nan, you …”
At this moment, Hua Bi’nan’s hand was being held tightly by Mo Ran. He didn’t turn around, but when he heard Jiang Xi’s voice, he smiled faintly and said, “Sect Leader, don’t act rashly. Lonemoon’s Night had a rule — Always be mindful of everything. Naturally, I’ve kept that in mind. So along the way, I’ve looked for opportunities to plant a Heart Drill Worm on many people that I’ve carefully raised for many years. ”
“！”
Everyone’s expression changed in horror. After a moment of silence, it was like a pot of boiling porridge.
Did the Divine Hand plant a worm on their bodies?
It didn’t hurt or itch, and they didn’t even feel anything. But suddenly, they felt like their entire bodies were itching, as if there was a Heart Drill Worm hiding in every corner of their bodies that could take their lives.
“Hua Bi’nan, you’re crazy!”
“You’re so vicious!”
Some people cried out anxiously, rubbing their bodies. “Where is it? Where is it? Did I get hit? I didn’t have any contact with him at all. I don’t think I have it on me … ”
There was also someone with a straightforward temperament who couldn’t stand Hua Bi’nan’s despicable methods. He shouted angrily, “You with the surname Hua! Don’t try to confuse the crowd with your lies! There are so many cultivators here, and they’re all the best in their respective sects. Do you think they’ll be afraid of a threat like you?! ”
Before he finished speaking, Hua Bi’nan lightly waved his hand.
The man who provoked him suddenly swayed, and then his eyes bulged. He grabbed his own throat and fell to the ground. He kept rolling around, shouting, “Ah! Ah –! ”
Pus and blood quickly gushed out from his nose and eyes. His eyes rolled back, and he spasmed violently. Feces and urine flowed all over his crotch, emitting a foul stench. He soon stopped moving and fell limp to the ground. His skin quickly shriveled, and his mouth was still open. A red worm that had been full of human blood crawled out. It looked like a spider, but it had ten thin legs on each side.
This shocking change made many people who were originally filled with righteous indignation and wanted to denounce Hua Bi’nan change their expressions. Their faces turned ashen, and they silently stared at the scene before them.
“Although the worm is small, it can take a person’s life in an instant.” Hua Bi’nan said gently, “If you don’t want to repeat the tragedy of the Confucian Wind Sect being destroyed overnight, it’s best for you to stay where you are. Don’t be anxious, and don’t make a fuss. Just listen to my instructions obediently. Especially Lonemoon Ye’s people. ”
His gaze fell on Jiang Xi, and then he looked at the group of Medicine Sect cultivators behind Jiang Xi, who were dressed in light green robes. He smiled and said, “Seeing that we’re from the same sect, I won’t hurt you when I do something.”
Jiang Xi’s face turned ashen. “Hua Bi’nan! How can you have such wild ambitions? ”
“I don’t deserve to be called wild ambitions.” Hua Bi’nan seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He said to Jiang Xi, “Oh right, Sect Master, you also have a Heart Drilling Worm on you. The others’ cultivation levels are low, and the worm can take their lives in the blink of an eye. But Sect Master’s cultivation level is high, so I think you’ll be able to hold on for at least ten days to half a month.”
Jiang Xi said coldly, “Lonemoon Ye hasn’t mistreated you in the past ten years. What exactly are you planning?”
“Of course I have my reasons, but I don’t necessarily have to tell you all.”
He turned to look at Chu Wanning, and then at Mo Ran, who was facing him. Then he turned his face back.
“Alright, you all can’t tell who has the worm and who doesn’t, but there’s a 50/50 possibility. It’s a matter of life and death. I think that if you’re smart enough, you’ll know who to side with. ”
Dead silence.
Then a gentle and clear voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
Shi Mei stood beside Xue Meng and said, “The Heart Drilling Worm follows the fire. As long as you ignite a fire curse or a fire talisman in your hand, you’ll see a protrusion under your skin. Then you’ll be under the worm curse. Everyone else will be safe.”
“…” Han Lin Divine Hands narrowed his eyes. “Shi Mingjing, you secretly read my scriptures?”
Shi Mei’s face seemed to redden, but it wasn’t obvious. He wasn’t used to being the center of attention. Now that so many people were looking at him, his expression was a bit stiff.
“I once asked Master to stay in seclusion for five years. Lonemoon Ye didn’t read Senior’s scriptures. Instead, I accidentally found this worm, so … so I did some research …”
Hua Bi ‘nan said angrily, “You’re so shameless to steal someone else’s work!”
Xue Meng frowned and immediately supported Shi Mei. “What’s there to talk about with a two-faced person like you?” As he said this, he immediately copied Shi Mei’s actions. Seeing that there was no abnormality under his skin, he was overjoyed. He pulled Shi Mei and said, “That’s great, thanks to you. Look, I don’t have any worms on me!”
Seeing this, the others all followed suit. For a moment, the Soul-Summoning Platform was filled with, “I don’t have any!” or “What should I do? I have Heart Drilling Worms!”
Hua Bi ‘nan closed his eyes and then laughed coldly. “Even if I can tell who has them and who doesn’t, so what? Those who have been infected by the Gu bug, listen up! Come to my side and help me take down Chu Wanning and defeat Mo Weiyu. Of course, I won’t mistreat you. Otherwise — ”
He pointed at the sorcerer on the ground who had been bitten to death by the Heart Drilling Worms.
“Like this person.”
Under the threat, the first to defect was a female cultivator from Lonemoon Ye. She rushed to Hua Bi ‘nan’s side in front of everyone’s eyes. She raised her head slightly, her expression somewhat arrogant.
Mo Ran was also surprised. A traitor actually had the cheek to be arrogant.
“I’m sorry, Sect Master Jiang.” She said, “I’m not siding with the Holy Hand just to protect myself. It’s because I’ve always admired the Holy Hand’s talents. The reason why I’m studying at Lonemoon Ye is also because I admire his reputation. Today, let’s not talk about whether or not I was poisoned. Even if I wasn’t, I’m willing to be the Holy Hand’s lackey. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Hua Bi ‘nan’s expression. Although Hua Bi’ nan was fighting with Mo Ran, he was still smiling. It was obvious that he was satisfied with her words. She couldn’t help but feel relieved. She tried even harder to persuade them. “Senior Holy Hand has already said that he won’t make things difficult for us on account that we’re from the same sect. Everyone should know what to do.”
She waited for a while, but only three cultivators from Lonemoon Ye came to stand beside her.
The others glared at them angrily, scowling coldly.
The three cultivators each had their own words. “Sect Master Jiang, Lonemoon Ye is getting worse and worse these years. If it weren’t for the Holy Hand, I would have left long ago.”
“If the Holy Hand is capable, we’ll only follow those who are.”
Some people from Lonemoon Ye couldn’t stand it anymore. They said angrily, “Traitor! How dare you say that! ”
“That’s right! Traitor! ”
“You have no integrity. Get out of Lonemoon Ye!”
The woman didn’t expect that so many people would refuse to submit even after being poisoned by the Heart Drilling Worm. She looked very embarrassed, but her face was still red. She forced herself to calm down and said, “I don’t need you to say that. We’ve long decided not to stay in this lousy sect. If you follow Jiang Xi, you’ll be a lonely soul following a ghost! ”
She turned her head and glared at her former sect master.
“I, Ling Bi ‘ran, from now on, Lonemoon Ye and Jiang Xi, I’ll cut —”
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi was expressionless. His eyes were cold. He looked at her disdainfully. “Don’t cut. Who are you?”
“I — I’m Ling Bi ‘ran —”
“I won’t remember your name even if you say it hundreds of times in front of me every day.” Jiang Xi said, “Get lost.”
The female medicine sect master was very angry. She bit her lower lip for a while and said indignantly, “Ha, I didn’t expect a sect master to be like this.”
“You’re only seeing me today?” Jiang Xi sneered. “But speaking of which, Lonemoon Ye has thousands of disciples. This is the first time I’m seeing you. To be honest, if it weren’t for this situation today, you might not even have the chance to speak to me in this lifetime. ”
With that, he flicked his sleeve. A fragrant wind blew. Jiang Xi had already started fighting with Hua Bi ‘nan.
Hua Bi ‘nan already had the extremely difficult Mo Ran in front of him. Now that Jiang Xi was here, it was obvious that he couldn’t bear the consequences. In a moment of desperation, he activated a wave of Heart Drilling Worms. Everyone present who had Gu worms in their bodies was immediately bitten by thousands of ants. They were in unbearable pain.
“Ah —!”
“Save, save me!”
Jiang Xi’s figure also paused. However, he was indeed the sect master of Lonemoon Ye. He immediately tapped several of his vital acupoints and temporarily alleviated the pain. His face was still pale as he continued to fight with Mo Ran against Hua Bi ‘nan.
Hua Bi ‘nan was not stupid. He crooked his finger and released the Heart Drilling Worms from the three people who had defected to him. He said sternly, “Accept the challenge.”
In the midst of the pain, some of the people with weak minds saw that surrendering to Hua Binan would save them from this crime, so they all rushed over. In a split second, a small half of the people in the crowd actually knelt down and shouted to Hua Binan, “I beg the Holy Hand! Release the curse! We are willing to serve you! ”
“I can’t take it anymore. It’s too painful … please, Senior Hua …”
Hua Bi ‘nan smiled slightly in the midst of the fierce battle. He looked at Mo Ran, who was fighting fiercely with him, and said, “So, Grandmaster Mo, look. In the end, the most powerful sect in the world is still the Medicine Sect. ”
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xi had already pulled out the Snow Phoenix. He said sternly, “How can a person like you, who is used to using underhanded methods, say the words’ Medicine Sect ‘?” After he finished speaking, he said to Mo Ran, “Go to the array and help your master. I’ll hold him off here.”
Hua Bi ‘nan sneered, “Sect Master, are you determined to be my enemy today?”
“Cut the crap.”
“You still want to fight with me even though you’ve been poisoned by the Gu. Sect Master Jiang, Jiang Ye Chen, you’re really tired of living. ”
Jiang Xi’s face darkened, “Is it up to you to decide whether my life is long or short? If I don’t stop you today, I’m afraid the reputation of the Medicine Sect will be ruined! ”
After he finished speaking, the two people who were proficient in using poison had already countered each other’s moves. Between the sword and the blade, there were even poisonous powders and sedatives that countered each other. Mo Ran saw that Jiang Xi was not powerless to fight back, so he immediately turned around and rushed to Chu Wanning’s side to help. Who knew that halfway there, a dozen dark yellow figures would pounce on him.
Mo Ran gritted his teeth, “Huang Xiaoyue — —!”
These people were Huang Xiaoyue and Jiang Dongtang’s high-level disciples. Huang Xiaoyue stood in the wind with his loose robes and large sleeves. He stroked his beard and said, “Grandmaster Mo, the Heart Drilling Worm is not a joke. I’m like a fish on a chopping block. In the face of life and death, I can only be your enemy. Sorry for the offense.”
He was not the only one. There were also experts from other sects who could not bear this kind of pain. They all rushed over.
At this time, the Soul Summoning Platform was already a mess.
The cultivators from various sects were fighting among themselves. Those who were poisoned by the Gu worms and those who were not, those who had betrayed them and those who had not. Everyone was confronting each other.
For a moment, Jiang Xi and Hua Bi’nan were fighting with all their strength. Mo Ran was the last line of defense in front of Chu Wanning, so he was attacked from the front and back. He was entangled with Huang Xiaoyue and the other cultivators one after another. Chu Wanning, on the other hand, was using all of his spiritual power to confront the mysterious formation.
On the other side, Xue Zhengyong and the people from the Peak of Life and Death were guarding the front line, preventing more rebels from approaching Chu Wanning, who was sealing the mysterious formation. Shi Mei was running among the cultivators who had been poisoned by the Heart Drilling Worm but refused to surrender. He was trying to break the worm curse for them.
“It hurts … Kill me, I beg you to kill me!” Shi Mei bent down and picked up a young man who was rolling on the ground. The young man grabbed his hand and cried, “It hurts so much. I don’t want to surrender, I don’t want to surrender. Just kill me! I beg you, kill me! Kill me! ”
“Bear with it.” Shi Mei comforted him while placing his fingertips on the young man’s pulse.
“I can’t take it anymore.”
“Look at me, look into my eyes.”
But the young man did not listen to Shi Mei at all. His fingers were tightly clenched, and his whole body was twitching like a fish that had been fished out of the water. He gasped for breath, “I can’t take it anymore …”
Shi Mei had no choice but to force the young man’s face to face and lift his tightly closed eyelids. This was not easy because the young man kept kicking and struggling, leaving red marks on the back of Shi Mei’s hand.
“Look at me, look at me!”
The young man was barely called back to his senses. He panted and turned his eyes, looking at Shi Mei with tears in his eyes. Shi Mei silently recited the incantation and stared into the young man’s eyes. Suddenly, the young man shivered and felt something quickly climbing up his waist. Soon, it climbed to his chest, throat, and throat.
“Ugh!”
He suddenly turned over, and with a strong feeling of nausea, he vomited a big puddle of vomit. The smell was very pungent, and there was a red Heart Drill Worm in it that kept spasming.
Shi Mei pointed in the air and immediately broke the worm into pieces.
He suddenly stood up and shouted, “The Heart Drill Worm can be controlled by the Eye Healing Technique. I can help you to do it! ”
He ran around and shouted anxiously, “Stop fighting! Don’t kill each other if you can do it. You can do it — you can do it! ”
But in the chaotic battle, not many people listened to him. His voice was not loud and was soon drowned out by the shouts, howls, explosions, and collisions.
Jiang Xi heard Shi Mei’s shout and froze. Eye Healing Technique?
Like many insects, when some poisonous insects entered the body, as long as the corresponding Eye Healing Technique was used to guide them out of the body, they would be lured out of the body like moths to a flame. The poison of the Gu insect would then be neutralized.
Hua Bi’nan obviously heard it too. He cursed in his heart, and his eyes flashed with a fierce cold light.
“Along the way, I killed all the cultivators who knew Eye Healing Technique. I didn’t expect that on this shabby peak of life and death, there would be someone who knows this kind of high-level medicine grandmaster technique. It’s really — ”
The knife in his hand brushed past Jiang Xi’s Snow Phoenix, and sparks flew when they collided.
Hua Bi’nan gritted his teeth and said, “Young man, you’re awesome!”
Suddenly, he withdrew his sword. Then, his entire body swept backwards like a bat, and leaped into the midst of the fierce battle.
“Oh no!” Jiang Xi was startled as she saw through Hua Binan’s intention. She was just about to gather her qi to catch up when the Heart Drilling Worm flared up. Her chest constricted and she spat out a large mouthful of blood. She stabbed her sword into the ground and knelt down.
His blood-soaked lips opened and closed as he watched Hua Bi’nan leave. He wanted to warn the others, but he couldn’t make a louder sound. “Dang … Xin …”
Shi Mei was detoxifying a cultivator of the Treading Snow Palace who was poisoned with a Gu worm. After the cultivator vomited out the Heart Drilling Worm, he no longer felt the pain in his heart. He quickly stood up and shouted to Shi Mei.
“Stop fighting! Come and detoxify the Gu. We can detoxify it! ”
Xue Meng was also busy trying to stop the fight. He dragged a dozen people to Shi Mei’s side and kept shouting, “Okay, okay, bear with it. Don’t cry out in pain. I’ll detoxify it for you. I’ll detoxify it for you right now. Who is my Shidi? His skills are top-notch, and he’s no worse than Lonemoon’s disciples. I — ”
Xue Meng said and called out to Shi Mei. But the moment he looked up, his voice stopped.
“Shi Mei!! Behind —!!! “
