Chapter 173 Poison King
The war in Xinyang County lasted for three days, and both the soldiers guarding the city of Xinyang County and the other side suffered minor casualties. In the end, Fan Yuan retreated from Xinyang County with a team of less than a thousand people, and the war came to an end.
The city walls of Xinyang County are easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there were no masters hidden among the opponent's 5,000 people, this war could be wiped out completely on the first day, and there would be no casualties on our own side.
However, no matter the process, the results are always good.
On the fifth day after the war, Mu Qingling quietly took Qiyue away from Xinyang County.
At this time, a thrilling scene was taking place in an inconspicuous small county town more than a hundred miles away from Xinyang County.
An old man with a white head and wrinkles on his face, wearing a dark gray robe, holding a snake-headed crutch that was all black in his hands, walking freely on the street, his eyes as big as broad beans radiating a vicious light.
Suddenly, the crutches in his hand waved into the crowd, and a wisp of blue smoke suddenly scattered. In an instant, several ordinary people in the crowd suddenly fell to the ground, rolled their eyes, foamed at the mouth, and their bodies trembled violently, as if they were epilepsy.
In just half a moment, several people fell to the ground, and the symptoms were the same.
But not long after, the people suddenly stopped trembling, their eyes suddenly widened, and what they spit out was no longer white foam, but a foul-smelling green liquid. The flesh on their faces dried up to the point visible to the naked eye, their eyes were low, and their wide eyes were protruding, as if they would fall out the next moment.
The cheekbones are protruding and the body is exhausted, like a mummy who has been dead for a long time.
"ah--"
The pedestrians on the street saw this terrifying scene and fled everywhere in horror. For a moment, the shouts of strong men, screams of women, crying of children, and uneasiness spread rapidly on the street.
But this terrifying scene did not end. During the escape, someone still fell down, then dried up and lay there without a rest.
Soon, almost half of the pedestrians on the street fell, including old men and women over 60 years old, young and strong men, beautiful cardamom girls, and even children of five or six years old.
No one fell down, but could only hold the young child in despair, kneel on the ground and shake his relatives, and the sound of grief filled the entire street.
"Child, kid, what's wrong with you..."
"Little Huzi, wake up quickly, don't scare my mother, okay..."
"Boss, how can you leave me alone, ah-"
"God, why is this happening-"
...
The old man held a snake-headed crutch in his hand, looked at the scene, showing his black teeth, and laughed happily, "Haha..., not bad, really good..."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a cloth dress put down his angered wife and daughter, suddenly looked at the old man, and said furiously: "It's you..., what did you do!"
The old man showed dissatisfaction on his face and said coldly: "What else can I do? It's just to let him try my husband's latest achievements. This is their honor, stupid person."
"Bastard, I'll kill you." The middle-aged man who had lost his wife and children had already been filled with hatred and rushed towards the old man without reason. He had no idea what was going on in his heart, just wanted to kill the person in front of him to vent his anger.
With a "swoosh", a small silver needle suddenly flew over, passing through the middle-aged man's eyebrows, leaving a tiny blood spot.
"You... will... be......" Before the words were finished, the middle-aged man's body suddenly tilted and finally fell to the ground.
"Haha..." A charming and pleasant voice sounded from far to near, and then a beautiful woman in a big red dress appeared in her sight. "Dog King, it seems that the results of your new research are nothing more than that."
After saying that, a pair of eyes that were filled with spring drifted across the people who survived on the street.
The word "Poison King" is like a giant thunder, exploding around those who survived. Even a few years old children know that Poison King is a demon who does evil and inhumane devil, let alone those adults...
In an instant, the common people who survived by chance ran forward desperately like a man-eating monster behind them...
The old man, known as the "Piracy King", looked at this scene with dissatisfaction. When the snake-headed crutches were put on the ground, a stronger stream of blue smoke dissipated. The common people who had not escaped even now screamed and fell to the ground, pinching their throats in pain, and finally their bodies gradually dried up.
"snort."
A heavy hum came from behind them. Meiji turned around, but saw a slender black shadow standing at the entrance of the street, with her eyes flowing, and she chuckled, "I didn't succeed in bringing Mu Qingling back, could you really meet Mo Xun?"
Blood Shadow said lightly: "You are very proud to save your life from Mo Xun's sword."
Upon hearing this, Meiji instantly restrained the smile on her face and her face was slightly dark. During the operation in Cheng'an Temple, because of the idiot Qingzhu, she directly faced Mo Xun, and finally jumped off the cliff because she was defeated, so she was lucky enough to escape the disaster.
Meiji was indeed grateful at that time, but the young master ruthlessly told her that Mo Xun had no intention of killing her at that time, otherwise she would not even have the chance to jump off the cliff.
Although Meiji did not refute Qiu Ming on the surface, she did not care about this in her heart. As one of the four envoys, even if she was really not Mo Xun's opponent, it would not be so easy for the other party to want her life.
"Haha." Meiji sneered, "I don't care. Don't forget the blood shadow. The poison on the young master's body cannot be waited for."
The blood shadow's eyes condensed, and Mei Ji was froze by the eyes that seemed like three feet frozen, and she shut her mouth decisively.
At this time, a man in brown clothes appeared at the entrance of the street, knelt on one knee, holding a pitch-black token in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The young master has an order to ask the three holy envoys not to act for the time being, and everything is waiting for his news. Especially Prince Ning, without his orders, no one is allowed to move without his actions."
Meiji gritted her teeth and said, "But we are still waiting for Mu Qingling to hand over the antidote."
The man in brown looked up and continued, "The young master said that anyone who does not obey orders will be killed without mercy."
Xueying glanced at the token in his hand indifferently and entered the alley on the side with a blank expression.
"What to do now."
"What should I do? Please accept the order. Hehe, Meiji, you and I know the young master's temper, so you'd better not think about erratic disobedience." The Poison King raised his eyelids and said in a whisper.
Before he finished speaking, the Poison King followed the blood shadow and entered an alley at the entrance of the street, leaving Mei Ji alone on the street, with a gloomy face.
