Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"You flatter me, General Lu," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.
Lu Chenguan was about to say something more when suddenly a series of footsteps approached.
Lu Chenguan turned his head and saw a young guard carrying wine and dishes coming from a distance.
Fearing danger, Lu Chenguan and his group did not enter the city while traveling. They sent someone to the city to buy the food and wine they needed, which was the case at this moment.
To prevent anyone from poisoning the food, they not only checked all the food the person bought, but also caught a wild rabbit by the roadside to test for poison.
After eating the food, the grayish rabbit remained lively and showed no signs of poisoning, so Lu Chenguan and the others finally began to enjoy their meal.
"Mr. Ye, Ms. Luo, this is for you."
Lu Chenguan said with a smile, and pushed the two dishes in front of Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan.
Luo Mengxuan is a complete foodie. Her mouth was practically never stopped the whole way, and she was eating almost every moment.
But this time, Luo Mengxuan looked at the food in front of her but hesitated to pick up her chopsticks.
Night Breeze then asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
Luo Mengxuan shook her head, her expression still somewhat puzzled: "I don't know why, but I just feel like this food doesn't taste good, it has a strange feeling."
"A strange feeling?"
The night wind was completely baffled.
Luo Mengxuan's words sounded ambiguous and unclear, and Ye Feng couldn't understand what she was saying.
"It might be the effect of intuition," Luo Mengxuan said again.
As soon as Luo Mengxuan finished speaking, a series of painful groans came from not far away.
Ye Feng turned his head and saw that several people had fallen to the ground with their faces blackened and were convulsing.
Seeing this, even the slow-witted Ye Feng would know what was going on.
The food is poisonous!
But why doesn't the poison work on the rabbit? The rabbit was tied with a rope and couldn't escape, yet it was still hopping around!
"This poison is interesting..." Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Fortunately, not everyone ate the food; some people ate while others didn't.
Those who collapsed from poisoning were the first to eat the food and ate the fastest. Those who hadn't even touched their chopsticks were naturally not poisoned.
Those who had eaten only a small amount of food were now gagging themselves to induce vomiting.
"It's Poisonous Warrior! It must be him!"
Lu Chenguan clenched his fists and said, his expression extremely unpleasant.
Almost everyone present changed their expression upon hearing the name Du Wushuang.
"Who is Du Wushuang?" Ye Feng asked.
"Mr. Ye, you don't even know about Du Wushuang?" Lu Chenguan looked at Ye Feng in surprise.
Night Wind shook his head and said, "I really don't know. In fact, my senior sister and I have been cultivating in seclusion for a long time. This is the first time we have come down the mountain in many years."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Lu Chenguan finally showed a hint of understanding.
Lu Chenguan sighed and said, "Du Wushuang is a very famous master of poison. He is very good at concealment and poison techniques. Moreover, the poisons he uses are ever-changing, and his methods of poisoning are also bizarre and very strange, making it impossible to guard against them."
"Take this as an example. The wild rabbits he poisoned were perfectly fine after eating them, but they would be fatal to humans."
"Since his debut, Du Wushuang has always been a lone wolf. I never expected him to come and assassinate me this time. He must have been bribed!"
As Lu Chenguan finished speaking, a deep sense of resentment appeared on his face.
As the saying goes, the unknown is the most frightening thing. Several people have already been poisoned by the Poisonous Peerless and turned into corpses.
However, they didn't even know where Du Wushuang was, which made everyone present feel uneasy.
Lu Chenguan sighed and said, "The strongest people in the world are the Imperial Preceptor and the Demon Queen. Although Du Wushuang's strength cannot compare with theirs, his poison skills are the most bizarre."
"Moreover, Du Wushuang is also skilled in stealth, making him the most terrifying opponent! We must be extremely careful from now on."
Lu Chenguan spoke at length, seemingly to warn Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan to be careful of Du Wushuang, but Ye Feng could tell that Lu Chenguan was actually hiding his own fear.
When people are terrified, they often do other things to distract themselves, and Lu Chenguan is doing just that now.
Moreover, although Lu Chenguan was once a general of the Blood God Army, he couldn't help but feel afraid.
Poisoning is the most unpredictable art, often killing people invisibly.
Lu Chenguan was not afraid of fighting to the death, nor was he afraid of bloodshed, but he was afraid of dying without knowing why.
Moreover, this Poison Master is indeed very troublesome!
“In that case, we must find a way to get rid of this Poisonous Peerless, otherwise our journey to the capital will not be peaceful, and we will have to be on tenterhooks all the time,” Ye Feng said.
Lu Chenguan nodded in agreement, his expression one of utter helplessness.
He certainly understood that he needed to kill Du Wushuang, a troublesome enemy, but the problem was that they didn't even know where Du Wushuang was, so how could they kill him?
"What should we do with the leftover food?" someone asked.
"Of course we threw it away; the food was poisoned," Lu Chenguan replied without hesitation.
Night Wind said, "Wait, let me check. Actually, I know medicine, and maybe I can neutralize this poison."
"Is this really true?" Lu Chenguan was overjoyed.
Night Breeze nodded and said, "Why would I need to lie to you?"
The person who had just asked about the food's fate frowned and said, "Since you know medicine, why didn't you save those people earlier?"
“Those few ate too much food, and the poison took effect too quickly; they died almost immediately after the poison took effect, and I didn’t have a chance to treat them. On the other hand, I can treat the remaining few who didn’t eat much food, were poisoned but haven’t died yet,” Ye Feng said.
Night Breeze's words were reasonable and well-founded, so the man no longer questioned Night Breeze.
Over the next fifteen minutes, Ye Feng inspected all the food and indeed found that it contained toxins.
Moreover, this toxin has no effect on animals like cats, dogs, and rabbits; it only affects humans—no, that's still not specific enough.
This toxin should only be effective against martial artists, because it directly affects their internal energy. In other words, anyone without internal energy could eat this toxin without any harm.
Now that we know what kind of poison it is and how it causes death, neutralizing the poison is quite simple.
Ye Feng quickly concocted the antidote, neutralizing all the toxins in the food, and also treated the few people who were poisoned but not severely.
