Chapter 89: The Thousand-Faced Poison King in the Windy Day (8000)

This is to prevent the man in black from bleeding to death.

The reason is actually very simple, just want to pry something out of the man in black.

It was Xu Bai who cut off the limbs, and it was also Xu Bai who had to treat the other party. This sense of gap is very strong.

Qingxue was slightly dazed.

"Why are you dazed? Hurry up and bring it. Do you want him to die?" Xu Bai frowned and urged.

After this period of tossing, the man in black has lost a lot of blood. Even if he is not an ordinary person, he has become weaker and weaker after losing so much blood.

Qingxue came back to her senses, took out a bottle the size of a baby's fist from her arms, and handed it to Xu Bai.

The bottle was still a little warm, obviously brought by Qingxue's body temperature.

Xu Bai opened the bottle cap and sprinkled trauma medicine on the wounds of the man in black's limbs.

The effect of Yinyi trauma medicine is amazing. After the medicine was sprinkled, the man in black's wounds stopped bleeding.

The bleeding stopped, but the pain still existed.

The man in black kept shouting.

Xu Bai played with the medicine bottle, looked at the man in black in front of him, and tore off the black cloth on his face, revealing his true face.

The man in black in front of him looked ordinary, just a middle-aged man in his forties, nothing special.

Although his injuries were healed, the pain was still there, and his face was full of sweat. When Xu Bai stared at him, he gritted his teeth hard, closed his eyes, and pretended that he would not say anything.

Xu Bai turned his head to look at Qingxue and asked, "Is there a way to search the soul?"

If Liu Xu and Wuhua were here, they would definitely have a headache, because Xu Bai was too obsessed with searching the soul.

Qingxue shook her head, indicating that she didn't have this method.

"Unless you are a professional practitioner of this ability, ordinary people really don't have it." She added.

Xu Bai supported his chin with his hand and walked back and forth.

The man in black kept his eyes closed, not caring about it at all, as if he hoped to have a good time after death.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself." Xu Bai put down his hand and sighed.

"Listen carefully, I can still give you a chance now. If you don't want to taste the pain of being cut into pieces, tell me quickly. What is the purpose of your coming here besides framing others?"

The man in black still closed his eyes and said nothing after hearing this, as if he was determined not to let Xu Bai know anything.

"If it's torture, I might have a way." Qingxue suddenly said.

Xu Bai turned his head and frowned: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Isn't this a waste of time? He wasted a lot of saliva just now because he didn't use the method earlier.

"I didn't have a chance to say it." Qingxue smiled bitterly, then reached into her bosom and took out a small bottle: "This is a medicine specially made by the Ninth Princess. It is very good for torture. Even a strong man will tell the truth after taking it."

Xu Bai took it in his hand, felt the slightly warm bottle, and asked: "What effect does it have?"

"After taking it, you will feel that your whole body is being bitten from the outside to the inside by a group of ants, and then from the inside to the outside. Only one pill is needed to have the effect for half an hour." Qingxue replied.

Xu Bai's eyes lit up.

Good stuff.

It is a must-have item for going out, home and traveling.

The man in black couldn't help shivering when he heard Qingxue's answer, and opened his tightly closed eyes with fear in his eyes.

There were thumb-sized pills in the bottle, about ten or so. After Xu Bai took one out and gave it to the man in black, he took the rest on his body.

Qingxue was waiting for Xu Bai to return the medicine bottle after he finished using it, but the next moment, she saw Xu Bai put the medicine away as if it was his own.

"If I hadn't come just now, you would have died long ago. I saved you, and this is the price you paid. There's nothing wrong with that, right?" Xu Bai said confidently.

Nothing wrong.

Qingxue wanted to speak, but was quickly blocked by him.

It's really okay, others saved her after all, although in Qingxue's opinion, Xu Bai wanted to beat up the man in black.

At this time, the man in black who took the medicine finally had an effect, and the effect of the medicine began to gradually spread. The man in black opened his mouth and began to tremble constantly.

"Uh..." The man in black had no hands and feet, and his body could not turn over. He could only tremble constantly, and at the same time, a series of painful groans came out of his mouth.

Xu Bai didn't know what it felt like to be bitten from the outside to the inside and then from the inside to the outside by a group of ants.

He didn't want to know.

But looking at the painful expression of the man in black, who was even in so much pain that he couldn't even scream, Xu Bai found that the drug was quite effective.

At this time, he couldn't ask questions at all, because the man in black could only feel the pain and definitely couldn't answer.

Biting the tongue to commit suicide?

It doesn't exist.

But don't be fooled by the content in the TV series, biting the tongue will not necessarily kill you, on the contrary it will be very painful.

The man in black trembled in pain, and this process lasted for nearly half an hour before the effect of the drug slowly wore off.

Watching the man in black gradually recovering to normal, Xu Bai took out the medicine bottle again, poured out the second pill expressionlessly, and prepared to give it to the man in black.

During the whole process, he said nothing, and even stopped asking questions.

After letting the other party experience enough pain of this degree, the other party naturally confessed everything.

As expected, before he put the medicine into the man in black's mouth, the man in black spoke.

"I said, I will tell you everything you want to know, as long as you can give me a quick death."

The man in black answered quickly, and stared at the medicine in Xu Bai's hand with fear in his eyes.

That kind of pain is simply unbearable for ordinary people. It is not only physical torture, but also a long-term tearing of the mentality.

He couldn't bear it after just the first pill, and when he saw the second pill, his fear was infinitely magnified, completely shattering the defense line in his heart, like a dam bursting, and it was out of control.

Xu Bai was very satisfied with the performance of the man in black. He put the medicine back into the bottle and put it away. Then he said with interest: "Tell me, I hope your news can satisfy me."

The man in black nodded repeatedly, not daring to slack off: "It was the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince asked me to kill this woman and put the blame on you for her death, and then provoke the conflict between you and the Ninth Princess, so that the Ninth Princess would take action against you."

He answered quickly, fearing that he would take another pill if he answered too late.

Xu Bai frowned.

The answer of the man in black was exactly what he imagined.

It was indeed a frame-up.

But there is a question, what good will it do for the Sixth Prince?

Even if he succeeded and caused a conflict between Xu Bai and the Ninth Princess, what steps would happen next?

People in the royal family like this are very scheming and must have subsequent plans.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai asked this question.

"I don't know, I really don't know. The Sixth Prince just told me to stir up a conflict between you, and he didn't say anything else." The man in black answered honestly.

"Another pill." Xu Bai put the second pill into the man in black's mouth.

The pain of the man in black reappeared, exactly the same as before.

Qingxue watched the whole process.

When she saw Xu Bai put the second pill into the man in black's mouth with an expressionless face, she couldn't help but shudder.

Cruel.

Because it was not clear whether the man in black was telling the truth, he used the second pill to test it, and he didn't even hesitate in the middle.

Decisive, no drag.

Qingxue felt that her evaluation of Xu Bai would increase a few points. This Jianghu man was not simple.

The pain lasted for another half an hour. When the pain disappeared, the man in black stared at the ceiling with dull eyes.

When the pain came one after another, he had lost his desire to live and only wanted to be happy.

"I really don't know, I really don't know..." the man in black muttered to himself.

He only knew to repeat this sentence, and he couldn't say anything else. It was a sign of extreme pain. The repeated torture made him mentally insane.

"Can this be used as evidence to point to the Sixth Prince if I bring it to the Ninth Princess?" Xu Bai turned his head and asked.

After taking two pills, the man in black even became mentally insane.

But he couldn't get the follow-up results. It seems that he really doesn't know.

"No, there is no real and solid evidence. His words alone cannot be used as evidence of guilt. After all, the Sixth Prince can be said to be someone we randomly found and framed him." Qingxue shook her head.

Xu Bai pulled out the ghost-head knife from his waist, and without saying a word, he killed the man in black with one knife.

Before the man in black died, he showed a relieved expression, as if he would never have to suffer that kind of torture again and felt particularly relieved.

After killing the man in black, the surroundings returned to silence again.

"Speaking of which, the strength of the royal family members seems to be not very good." Xu Bai suddenly said.

Qingxue was slightly stunned, and soon understood what Xu Bai meant.

The strength of the royal family members is not good, naturally referring to them.

The Sixth Prince sent a person who framed him, and his strength was only the seventh rank, and the Ninth Princess sent Qingxue, whose strength was only the seventh rank.

Even if he sent a master, it would not be so bad.

"This is all because of His Majesty. His Majesty does not allow the royal family members to have vassals above the sixth rank, including the royal family members themselves. They can only practice what His Majesty gives them, and cannot find other things on their own." Qingxue explained: "Of course, those who really protect the royal family members are much more powerful than this, but they will not be loyal to the royal family members."

Xu Bai made a clear expression when he heard this.

His Majesty, the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom, is so powerful that he can't believe it.

The royal family members can only practice what the emperor gives them, and the vassals they recruit cannot exceed the sixth rank.

This alone is enough to hold all the royal family members in a stalemate.

Who dares to go against what the emperor does?

No one dares to do that.

Of course, he did not fail to provide security for the royal family members. He personally sent guards to protect the safety of the royal family members, but these guards were only loyal to the emperor.

Of course, don't think that these guards can't be mobilized by the royal family members.

If anyone dares to offend the dignity of these royal family members, these guards will become a knife and stab that person's heart.

This is also the privilege of the royal family members.

"No wonder Qingxue, a close maid, is actually only a seventh-rank maid."

After Xu Bai figured it out, he turned his head and looked around.

After this bloody battle, it finally returned to normal. Xu Bai felt that there was no need to stay here.

"I have already found out what I should find out. I will set off to return to the capital tomorrow to report to the Ninth Princess." Qingxue said.

Xu Bai hummed, said nothing, and was ready to turn around and leave.

"The Ninth Princess likes you very much. Are you really not going to consider it?" Qingxue still didn't give up and planned to struggle again.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "I'm used to being free and can't stand that kind of restraint. Say sorry to the Ninth Princess on my behalf."

Qingxue nodded and agreed.

The Ninth Princess also meant that if she could not offend this person, she would not offend him.

After Xu Bai left, Qingxue began to clean up the traces. She was used to doing these things and everything was easy to do.

...

The next day.

When the first ray of sunlight shone in, everything came back to life and everything seemed to come alive.

The streets became bustling and noisy, and the escort agency gradually became popular.

"Liu Er, come in."

Xu Bai's voice came from the backyard.

Liu Er, who was swinging a knife in the front yard, heard the voice and hurriedly put down the weapon in his hand, took two steps at a time, and went to the backyard.

At this time, Liu Er had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.

Although Liu Er used to be burly, he lacked calmness. Now Liu Er is very different. In addition to calmness, there is a glimmer in his eyes.

He had already developed the bone-breaking knife technique and the bone-breaking mind method, and had produced the unique true qi of a warrior in his body.

From a low-ranking warrior to a ninth-rank warrior, Liu Er was now a completely different person.

He could personally feel the change in his strength and became more respectful to Xu Bai.

He was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood that everything he had now was given by Xu Bai.

Only by holding on to Xu Bai's thighs tightly could he develop in the long run.

He came to the backyard, knocked on the door gently, and after getting consent, Liu Er pushed the door open and entered.

"Meet the escort master." Liu Er bowed respectfully, with excitement in his words.

"Hmm? True qi?" Xu Bai drank a sip of tea, looked up at Liu Er from top to bottom, and said with satisfaction: "You have a good talent."

This was the truth, without a single falsehood.

The bone-breaking mind method was actually not very good, and even in the first-level martial arts, it was at the lower level.

But after Liu Er got the bone-breaking sword technique and the bone-breaking mind technique, he was able to cultivate a breath of true qi in a short period of time. In Xu Bai's opinion, he was indeed talented.

In addition to skills, the full-level comprehension brought Xu Bai insights in all aspects.

For example, sword techniques below the second level, including the second-level sword techniques, he could see various changes and flaws from them.

In addition, there is vision.

"All the things given by adults are good. I just practice step by step according to the adults' teachings." Liu Er said respectfully.

In terms of flattery, Liu Er has a higher talent for cultivation than him in this regard.

"I asked you to come here just to see your results. Since you have succeeded, I will fulfill my promise to you when the time comes." Xu Bai put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the book from the bookstore, and continued to grind the progress bar.

The escort agency grinds the progress bar. The environment is quiet, which also makes it convenient for him to improve without distraction, and to see Liu Er's progress by the way. One day passed like this.

Liu Er saw that Xu Bai had nothing to tell him, and after obtaining Xu Bai's consent, he said goodbye and left.

During the day, Xu Bai did not go out. As for breakfast and dinner, Liu Er brought them to him. He spent the whole morning and afternoon reading the book in his hand.

Because he was focused on the progress bar, he gained a lot.

Until the night came, the people in the escort agency had left, and he was the only one left in the entire escort agency.

The night was very cold, Xu Bai put on a coat outside, and continued to watch by the light of the oil lamp.

Time passed slowly, from just after nightfall to late at night.

"I'll work again tomorrow." Xu Bai thought, and got up to blow out the oil lamp.

At this time, someone knocked on his door.

"Duoduo..."

The sound was very light, but it was particularly obvious at night.

Xu Bai put down the book in his hand, picked up the ghost-head knife on the table, and straddled it on his waist.

"Brother Xu, it's me."

Outside the door, a familiar voice sounded, coming from Yun Zihai.

Xu Bai frowned and walked to the door.

It was so late, and Yun Zihai suddenly came to find him. Could it be that the plan finally came to fruition?

"Wait."

Xu Bai opened the door.

The darkness outside the door invaded, and the light in the room dimmed a little.

Yun Zihai stood in the darkness and smiled.

"Brother Xu, can we go in and talk?"

There was a strange fragrance, which was very light. If you didn't smell it carefully, you couldn't smell it at all.

Xu Bai felt a pain in his eyebrows, as if something had stabbed him there.

"Something's wrong!"

With his current strength, the pain like that just now shouldn't have happened.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai took a step back.

But the next moment, he found that his steps became slower.

And... the tingling sensation in his eyebrows slightly intensified.

Fortunately, the true energy was running in time, alleviating the tingling.

"Poison?"

Thinking of the smell just now, Xu Bai easily guessed the reason.

Yun Zihai, who was standing at the door, suddenly moved, raised his hand, and sprinkled a piece of white powder.

"Buzz..."

A black light rose from Xu Bai's body, blocking the white powder outside.

Some of the white powder floated on the ground, immediately corroding a large area of ​​the ground.

Xu Bai raised his head, and when he looked again, Yun Zihai in front of him had disappeared.

"What's going on?"

The backyard was quiet. There was no one else except him, and Yun Zihai seemed to have never been here.

But what happened just now really happened, and there was no falsehood.

In the middle of the night, Yun Zihai came to attack him, and used poison?

Why do I always feel so strange?

Xu Bai thought secretly in his heart.

Just then, a figure drove the pages of the book and flipped in from outside the wall.

"Brother Xu, have you been attacked? Does he look exactly like me?" Yun Zihai spoke quickly as soon as he entered the backyard.

That anxious look did not seem to be disguised.

"Wait a minute." Xu Bai spoke in time, asking Yun Zihai to stay away from him and not get close: "If you take another step, I can't guarantee that I won't draw my sword and chop you."

Yun Zihai stopped immediately after hearing this, but there was no other emotional reaction on his face. Instead, he suddenly realized: "Sure enough, you also met the one who was sent to hunt me down, the Thousand-Faced Poison King."

"Thousand-Faced Poison King?" Xu Bai looked him up and down.

Why is this nickname so embarrassing? Who gave it to him?

"Among the seventh-rank masters in the world, this man is extremely difficult to deal with. There are even rumors that he has killed a sixth-rank master." Yun Zihai said.

"He is very strong." Xu Bai said.

Being able to fight a sixth-rank master with a seventh-rank master is indeed very strong. After all, challenging a cross-rank master is not just a simple matter of talking.

But this guy seems to have taken a fancy to him.

"It's not that he's strong, but that he's hard to guard against. The Thousand-Faced Poison King is a warrior and a poison master. He's good at disguise, poison, and a superb body movement." Yun Zihai said slowly: "Use the disguise to get close, and use the poison to attack. If you can't beat him, use the superb body movement to leave. It's hard to guard against."

The disguise can change your appearance, and you can be approached easily if you're not careful. The poison is not like the others. It's all about the word "yin", and the yin can penetrate everywhere.

If you can't beat him, use the superb body movement to escape.

After escaping, look for opportunities again.

Anyone who is targeted by the Thousand-Faced Poison King will find it difficult to escape, because the Thousand-Faced Poison King is like a dog-skin plaster, and you can't get rid of it.

"This guy even dealt with me." Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "So, are you a real person?"

Yun Zihai said helplessly, "The Thousand-Faced Poison King can only imitate his appearance and voice at most, but he can't imitate his abilities."

Pages of books appeared around Yun Zihai, constantly surrounding him, and a majestic aura flourished.

This is unique to scholars, and the Thousand-Faced Poison King can't imitate it.

"Brother Xu, the Thousand-Faced Poison King has a habit. He likes to kill all those related to the target, and then kill the target at the end, letting the target die in extreme despair." Yun Zihai continued.

Xu Bai put down the ghost-head knife.

"Then, how can Brother Xu prove himself?" Yun Zihai repeated Xu Bai's words.

Xu Bai snapped his fingers, and black light appeared around him.

The two confirmed their identities, and Yun Zihai spoke first.

"Brother Xu, from now on, whether eating or drinking, even if you come into contact with people, you must be careful. The poison technique of the Thousand-Faced Poison King is very advanced, and even a sixth-rank person must be careful."

As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

What's more, this villain is a poisoner.

Poison is something that is hard to guard against, and you may be poisoned at any time.

If Xu Bai hadn't used his true energy to operate the strange fragrance he smelled just now, he might have been poisoned.

Just smelling it has side effects, and if you really eat something poisonous, the side effects may be even greater.

"If he poisoned the well, wouldn't it harm everyone together?" Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai shook his head: "If he really does this, he will be dead soon. Your Majesty needs a stable structure. If the Jianghu people are like a docile dog, then the Tianjiansi will lose its function and this stable structure will not exist."

"But if these people don't know the bottom line, their survival will come to an end. The assassination of the court officials can be a big or small matter, but I have a mission now, so I will try to minimize it."

Xu Bai shrugged: "I have no problem, but you must not be killed by the Thousand Faces Poison King before your plan comes out."

The words are rough but the truth is not rough. This sentence is a reminder.

"I have already had signs of the plan. The main thing that happened tonight was the Thousand Faces Poison King, so I came to tell you the news. I'm leaving first. After the plan is perfected, I will tell you." Yun Zihai said.

Xu Bai nodded, and after watching Yun Zihai leave, he also returned to the room.

...

The next day.

Xu Bai got up early, picked up the book from the bookstore, and continued to work on the progress bar.

After talking with Yun Zihai last night, he was also thinking about how to deal with the Thousand-Faced Poison King.

This guy has been able to stir up trouble in the martial arts world for so long, so he must have some skills. Those three abilities are really hard to guard against.

In Xu Bai's opinion, the most annoying ability of the Thousand-Faced Poison King is his exquisite and unparalleled body skills.

Just like last night, if he could catch up, Xu Bai could easily kill him.

So for now, Xu Bai still feels a little headache.

At present, the level of Sixun's body skills is slightly insufficient.

Body skills and mental skills have become what he needs most now.

"Let's see what skills are in this book first." Xu Bai thought while he was working on the progress bar.

He worked in the room for a while, and didn't go out until it was almost noon.

The escorts were already training in the escort agency. After seeing Xu Bai, they greeted each other one by one.

Liu Er has now become a martial artist of the first rank, but he is training more diligently.

You can't go far just by flattering others. When you lose your effectiveness, you will be abandoned.

Liu Er knows this very well and is working towards this goal.

After going out, Xu Bai found an unusual place to eat.

Usually Liu Er brought it to him, but with the Thousand-Faced Poison King incident, he can't expect to have everything he wants.

After all, this thing is poisonous, so it's better to be careful.

In the days that followed, there was no movement for several days in a row, and the Thousand-Faced Poison King seemed to have disappeared.

During this period, Yun Zihai came to find him once, and there was no news of assassination.

In general, there was nothing unusual.

But he knew very well that the less the other party moved, the more he wanted to make a big move, and the longer he held back, the more powerful his big move would be.

And the only gain in these few days was the book in his hand.

During this period, his progress bar was finally finished.

Sitting in the room, Xu Bai drank a sip of tea, looking at the light blue text in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

When I was bored, I worked on the cleanliness bar and read this novel-like book.

This book tells the story of military life from a soldier's perspective, and the most eye-catching part is the charge in the army.

The description is very good, especially when it comes to the scene of thousands of troops, it is even more grand.

The book says that when thousands of troops charge each other, everyone must be careful in every step they take, because once they make a mistake, they will be trampled by their companions behind.

The pace is extremely important.

So after seeing these descriptions, Xu Bai also had a score in his mind. He was more and more looking forward to this skill and comparing it with what he guessed in his heart.

As it turned out, it really did compare.

But after the blue smoke appeared, it gradually gathered into a line of text.

[You observe the nameless book and comprehend the marching step. ]

One after another, the information came into my mind, and the light blue text in front of me changed.

[Found the fusion option, fusion is in progress. ]

[Four Xun body method + marching step = four-step method. ]

[Fusion successful. 】

The light blue smoke turned into information again and was retransmitted into Xu Bai's mind.

The latest panel appeared.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Eighth-Rank Wanderer. ]

[Broken One Style (Level 2): ​​Full Level. ]

[Reversed Four Directions Heart Method (Level 2.5): Full Level. ]

[Maple Leaves Like Rain (Level 2): ​​Full Level. ]

[Four Steps Method (Level 3): Full Level. ]

[Star Shift (Level 4): Full Level. ]

[Vajra Heart Demon Body (Level 4): Full Level. ]

[Kidney Strengthening Method (Level 4): Full Level. )]

[Comprehension: Full Level. ]

The Four Xun Body Method itself is only at the first level, which can be regarded as a very poor skill. Of course, it is very poor in the current situation.

But after adding the marching step, it became the four-step marching step, which has reached the third-level standard.

The original marching step was outstanding for a charging method and long-distance running.

Endurance, speed and offensiveness are very strong, after all, it is suitable for the army.

But now after integrating the four Xun body techniques, the power of the Taoist formation has been added to the four-step marching step, and the flexibility of dodging and maneuvering has also been greatly improved.

Speed, endurance, offensiveness and flexibility.

With the perfect combination of these four characteristics, it has reached the third-level standard.

After Xu Bai absorbed all the information in his mind, he smiled.

It's worthy of being Xiao Jin.

What you want is what you get.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked around the room.

The floor of the room was covered with iron nails, one section was laid at a distance, and on the surrounding walls, there were not only hidden arrows, but also many nets.

If an ordinary person entered his room, he would be covered with wounds before taking two steps.

He had done nothing these days. He designed the traps all over the room.

Thanks to Liu Xu. Before, when he sneaked into Liu Xu's room, he saw Liu Xu setting up all kinds of traps in his room.

Who doesn't play some tricks these days?

He was waiting for the Thousand-Faced Poison King to come up. If the trap was triggered, he would get rid of him.

But now it seems a bit redundant.

"I don't know whether I am faster or you are faster. I will know when I try it." Xu Bai tapped the table with his fingers and said to himself, "I can't wait any longer."

...

At night.

The wind tonight is a bit strong and slightly chilly.

And the wind tonight is different from other times. It is very chaotic.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as wind in all directions.

Xu Bai lay on the bed and put the ghost-head knife on the head of the bed.

The wind was so strong that the windows were shaking slightly.

"Squeak... squeak... squeak..."

Along with the sound of the wind, there were also the "screams" from the edge of the window.

The wind was too strong, and the window seemed unable to bear it.

Xu Bai got up from the bed, hung the ghost-head knife on his waist, walked to the window, pressed the window, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this time of year, strong winds are normal.

But if the wood on the edge of the window turns black on a windy day, it is not normal.

It is poisonous.

Xu Bai circulated his true energy and used the Vajra Heart Demon Body.

A layer of black light wrapped around him, isolating him inside.

The paper on the window also gradually turned black with the strong wind, and then, in less than two breaths, the paper on the window broke.

The strong wind seemed to have found the source of venting, and poured into the room through the hole.

Here it comes!
