Chapter 261 Medicine Man

The night before the team set off.

The Xiao Family Inn was also attacked.

The Xiao family's secret guards and bodyguards immediately stopped them outside the inn.

Xiao Xuanwu held his sword to protect his family and looked out the window, seeing that the medicine-infused people were impossible to kill.

He was somewhat worried; his hand gripping the sword was sweating. It wasn't that he was afraid of dying, but rather that he was afraid of not being able to protect his family.

Anyone who wants to harm his family should step over his dead body first.

Having traveled the martial world extensively and seen much, Hua Murong immediately recognized that those people were no ordinary individuals.

He ran back to his room, quickly grabbed some important things from his bundle, and rushed over, saying rapidly, "Those people are drug people, immune to all poisons and unkillable. Humans can't beat them. They're not human at all. Hurry up and pack your things and run. Humans can't beat them."

Yun Zhaoxue said, "Where can we escape to? They move like ghosts; it's all the same no matter where we run."

"If we don't escape now, we'll be dead. Let's go to my Medicine Ghost Valley; I guarantee they won't find us there."

"It's too late."

"Then what should we do?"

“Kill them.”

Xiao Xuance drew his bow and released an arrow with a "whoosh!"

He shot a drug-using man in the heart, and the man fell down but stood up again. The arrow was still stuck in his heart. He moved faster and his attacks became more ruthless. The black aura surrounding him became even thicker.

"You see? The ones they can't kill are the legendary 'medicine people,' immune to all poisons, practically living dead. They've been soaked in deadly poison for seventy-four days and have incredible wound-healing abilities. Listen to me, run for your lives!"

Hua Murong was extremely anxious, but the couple showed no fear whatsoever, leaving him pacing back and forth in a panic.

Yun Zhaoxue pulled a pistol from her sleeve, attached a silencer, aimed, and quickly pulled the trigger, hitting a drugged man in the chest. "Bang!"

He pulled a box from under the bed, opened it, quickly assembled a sniper rifle, and walked to the window to aim at a man in black.

The person turned their head away, revealing a deathly pale face—it was... Ye Hongying.

She looked at the two figures at the window, grinned—a chilling smile, a look that seemed to say, "You can't kill me."

The guards knocked down the drugged men, but they rose again to continue fighting.

Yun Zhaoxue fired a shot at her, hitting her right between the eyebrows.

Ye Hongying's body suddenly stiffened, and she fell down, leaving a black scar on her wound, but no blood flowed. She then stood up straight again.

He stared intently at the window, then used his light-footed skills.

Seeing this, Zhu Feng kicked down one of the medicine-using people and leaped into the air.

A sword was thrust at Ye Hongying, who dodged it by spinning in mid-air and exchanged a palm strike with him.

Hua Murong hurriedly warned, "Be careful, don't touch her, she's covered in poison."

But it was too late. Their palms met, their internal energies collided, and their inner strength was equal. They both staggered backward.

Zhu Feng landed, staggered back a few steps, and suddenly coughed up blood.

Ye Hongying landed on the roof of the first floor. She flew to the window and stretched out her hand, which had black nails covered in poison, towards Lin Zhaoxue's face. Suddenly, an arrow pierced his body.

Nail her to the opposite wall.

She remained motionless for a while, and everyone assumed she was dead.

After a short while, he moved again, pulling out the arrow that had pierced his abdomen; the arrowhead was stained with black venom.

She flew to the window again and threw an arrow at Yun Zhaoxue.

Xiao Xuance shot an arrow, knocking it down.

At this moment, Yun Zhaoxue switched to a more powerful explosive sniper rifle, aimed at Ye Hongying, pulled the trigger, and a flash of fire pierced the night sky as it struck Ye Hongying.

She neither flinched nor dodged, a mocking smile curving her lips.

However, the next moment, his head exploded, black mist filled the air, and his eyes were filled with terror, disbelief, and incredulity as his head rolled to the ground.

Hua Murong couldn't persuade them from the other side, so he went to persuade Yang Shi and the others to run away with him. But Yang Shi and the others refused to leave, saying that the family would stay together no matter what.

As they were trying to persuade him, they suddenly heard a loud bang and saw Yun Zhaoxue carrying what looked like a very powerful weapon, which made a loud noise, even louder than his Thunderclap.

He rushed over and saw that Ye Hongying's head was the only thing left rolling on the ground.

You could fit a duck egg in your open mouth.

"This...this...killed him, killed him."

"I couldn't kill them even with a thunderbolt, your weapon is amazing."

Yun Zhaoxue fired another shot at the other drug-using man, 'Bang!'.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

One shot, one kill, so fast that you almost don't need to aim.

"Dr. Hua, how much corpse-dissolving liquid do you have left? Melt their heads to prevent the poison gas from spreading and polluting the air."

Hua Murong pulled two porcelain bottles out of his cloth bag. "There are two more bottles."

Xiao Xuance saw a person on a rooftop not far away and shot him with an arrow, but the distance was too far; he could hit the target, but not kill him.

"There's someone on that rooftop over there, probably the mastermind behind these drug-using people. Can this weapon kill him?"

Yun Zhaoxue estimated the distance to be about two hundred meters, then pointed her gun at that direction. "Of course!"

When the man saw that all the drug-using people he was controlling had been killed, he became furious and started gesticulating wildly, almost exposing his entire body.

Yun Zhaoxue focused intently, aiming at her target through the mirror. Her eyes narrowed slightly, her pupils locking onto her prey through the recoil. She pulled the trigger, and the moment the bullet left the barrel, the recoil made her shoulder sway slightly. Smoke curled from the muzzle, and the moonlight illuminated her exquisite yet cold profile.

He was handsome and charming, and everyone was stunned.

Looking in the direction she shot out, one could see a person wearing a black cloak fall from the roof, crashing onto the eaves of the first floor, and finally landing on the ground, lying motionless, dead.

at the same time--

The Third Prince's estate was also attacked by the medicine man.

Old Liao and his men fought against the drugged people with knives, but were seriously injured and were about to collapse.

Strangely, those people were like an impenetrable wall, impossible to kill no matter what.

"What kind of monsters are they? Why can't they be killed?"

Yun Jiaoyue remembered that when the Second Prince rebelled in her previous life, there was also an army called "Medicine People". In the end, a powerful strategist recruited by the Third Prince drove them into a house and burned them to death.

She suggested, "Quickly, use fire! They are afraid of fire; burn them alive."

Zhao Xuan knew she was reborn and must have encountered these medicine people in her previous life. Without saying a word, he ordered people to prepare torches and tung oil.

The guards poured tung oil on the drugged figures and then threw tinder to ignite the oil.

The medicine-dolls were on fire, but they acted as if nothing was wrong, continuing to fight the guards and becoming even more courageous, as if they felt no pain.

Soon, another group of guards and escorts were killed, and they were about to reach them. The group huddled together, screaming in terror, "Ahhh!!! Don't come any closer! Don't kill me! Monster, go away! Don't kill me! Waaaaah..."

Zhao Xuan's cold eyes shot towards Yun Jiaoyue, and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Didn't you say that the medicine man was afraid of fire?"

"Your Highness, please be patient. He will die if he continues to burn for a while."

"If we wait any longer, we'll be dead! We need to think of something!"

The burning, medicine-infused figures lunged at them, and the crowd scattered in terror, screaming, "Aaaaaah!!!"

People who had been touched by the drugged person collapsed after being poisoned.

The guards fought and retreated, but when they reached Zhao Xuan, they could no longer hold him off. "Your Highness, you must escape! I will cover your retreat!"

Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth, then turned and left.

Yun Jiaoyue followed, and when she saw the two concubines walking in front of her, her eyes hardened, and she deliberately pushed Su Wanwan, who was walking outside, down the steps.

She scrambled to her feet to escape, but a sharp pain shot through her knees, causing her to collapse to her knees again. Unable to move, she desperately cried out in their direction, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm still behind you! Help me! Someone help me up..."

Zhao Xuan seemed not to hear, turning his head without looking back, only concerned with escaping for his life.

She cried out to her best friend again, "Yiyi, save me, save me..."

She didn't want to die.

"Wanwan..." Liu Yiyi heard her cry and wanted to turn around to save her.

Yun Jiaoyue grabbed her, "You can't save her, you'll die too. Do you want to be buried with her?"

“But I can’t abandon Wanwan, let me go.”

Yun Jiaoyue wished they were both dead, so she immediately let go of her, "Fine, go ahead."

Old Liao and the guards led the prisoners to a place where there were no drugged people, which happened to be the Third Prince's side.

Zhao Jiu was at the front and didn't see anyone on the ground. He tripped and almost fell. He had to use one hand to brace himself and do a somersault before he could stand up.

"What is that?" He thought it was a drugged person and slashed at her with his knife.

Su Wanwan rolled on the ground to avoid it, "Ah! No, please don't kill me..."

"You are that Lady Su. I thought you were a medicine person. I'm sorry."

"Wanwan, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." At this moment, Liu Yiyi also arrived at her side, helped her up from the ground, and helped her walk.

She had only taken two steps when a piercing pain shot through Su Wanwan's knee, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and gasp for breath.

"Ah! My legs hurt so much, I can't walk anymore. Yiyi, don't worry about me, just run by yourself. I can't drag you down with me. It was that bitch Yun Jiaoyue who knocked me down. She killed me. I will haunt her even as a ghost. You must be careful of her in the future. You should go quickly."

Zhao Jiu, who had only taken two steps, turned back, grabbed his arm, and shoved him onto his back.

Su Wanwan's body was suddenly lifted into the air, startled, she clung tightly to his neck, "Ah! You..."

Zhao Jiu said, "I apologize for the offense. If you mind, I'll put you down..."

He suddenly regretted meddling; if he couldn't outrun those drug-using people, he'd be dead for sure, and he didn't want to die either.

Su Wanwan said, "I don't mind. You go quickly, Yiyi, you must follow."

A group of people ran and ran, until they reached the alleys of the main street, only to find that the drug-using people behind them had not caught up.

Looking back, I saw flames shooting into the sky in the direction of the village.

Yun Jiaoyue smiled and said, "Your Highness, those monsters must have been burned to death."

Having narrowly escaped death, Zhao Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and nodded, saying, "Hmm, Yue'er is still the smartest."

Suddenly, Yun Yanzhe pushed through the crowd and asked, "Yue'er, where is Mother? Did you have her carried out?"
