"Whether it works or not, we'll know once we try it. Ye Xingchen, how about we take a gamble and see if the poison from Futu Mountain is faster, or if you can save people faster?" Cheng Qiang sneered, looking at Ye Xingchen with a playful expression, feeling that he had the other man figured out.
Indeed, the poisons of Mount Futu are unparalleled in the world. If this poison were to be casually scattered, the room would instantly be filled with deadly poison. The poison, extracted from dozens of poisonous insects, could kill everyone in the room within a second, except for those who have taken the antidote.
Ye Xingchen's medical skills are excellent, but he doesn't believe that Ye Xingchen can cure this kind of poison in a second.
"You took the antidote, but your subordinates didn't, right?" Ye Xingchen glanced at the group behind Cheng Qiang. "Hey, your boss was going to poison you all, didn't you know beforehand?"
Ye Xingchen's words startled everyone else.
Although these thugs usually fight and kill each other to fight for territory, they are definitely not the kind of ruthless people who would risk their lives.
They were just trying to make some money to live, but did they have to risk their lives for it?
Ye Xingchen's shout startled Cheng Qiang's subordinates.
"What's the panic?" Cheng Qiang glanced coldly at these people: "Double compensation for the dead, triple compensation for the survivors. I will take good care of your wives, children and elderly parents, and make sure you have no worries."
Cheng Qiang's words were effective. As soon as he said that, the people behind him calmed down and focused on confronting Ye Xingchen. They didn't seem to be so afraid anymore.
"So, has Gu Manyun thought it through?" Cheng Qiang thought he had her figured out, and he said with a smile, "I don't think you'd want to die with me, do you?"
"Idiot." Ye Xingchen cursed.
"You, surnamed Ye, try swearing again!" Cheng Qiang roared angrily, "Don't force me to turn against you."
*Smack!* Ye Xingchen slapped him, sending him flying several meters away.
"Ake, kill him! Kill him right now!" Cheng Qiang shouted.
A glint of green flashed in the eyes of the Buddhist herbalist named Ake, and then she was about to release a poison that could instantly fill the room.
However, her hand suddenly froze and she couldn't move it at all.
She was startled, realizing that her acupoints had been sealed without her knowledge. She quickly and forcefully activated her internal energy, trying to break open the sealed acupoints.
But despite her efforts, pushing herself to the limit several times, it was all in vain.
Instead, she suddenly felt a chill run through her heart, then spat out a mouthful of blood, her legs went weak, and she knelt on one knee.
She was panting heavily, looking at Ye Xingchen in horror.
It could completely seal her internal energy without her knowledge, and even if she used all her strength to activate the secret techniques of Mount Futu, it would be to no avail.
Ultimately, this led to a backlash against himself. Just how powerful was this person? Even if he were a celestial being, he couldn't have achieved this.
Cheng Qiang was speechless. He stared blankly at A Ke, his mind going completely blank.
Honestly, he was taking a huge risk by coming to see Gu Manyun today; he was gambling that she might compromise.
He was confident that as long as he could control Gu Manyun, Ye Xingchen would definitely compromise. However, he did not expect that he would mess things up. Ye Xingchen had many tricks up his sleeve, more than he had imagined.
"I think Bai Wei must have warned you more than once not to provoke me, but why did you ignore her words?" Ye Xingchen said calmly, "Bai Wei is the eldest disciple of Futu Mountain, and her strength is above the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."
"People like this have warned you, why can't you listen to them at all?"
"Ye Xingchen, I have the Cheng family behind me. If you dare to kill me, Jinling will be thrown into chaos." Cheng Qiang gritted his teeth: "That would be detrimental to your plan."
"Haha, then change my plans." Ye Xingchen sneered: "The reason I didn't touch the Cheng family before was indeed because there were too many direct descendants of the Cheng family, and I didn't want to cause any more bloodshed."
"But since you're so eager to die, I'll have to grant your wish. However, I won't kill you today; you're still useful as bait."
Ye Xingchen had his arm around Cheng Qiang's arm when suddenly, his hand moved slightly, and *snap*...
"Ah..." Cheng Qiang screamed in agony, as Ye Xingchen had crippled one of his arms.
"Ye Xingchen, you're fucking crazy. Aren't you afraid of the Cheng family's revenge? Aren't you afraid we'll ruin your plans?" Cheng Qiang roared hysterically.
"I'm scared, but you idiot think you can mess with me? Do you think I'm easy to talk to?" Ye Xingchen sneered and said, "Cheng Qiang, I've been unhappy with your Cheng family for a long time. Since you're so recklessly courting death, I don't mind wiping out your Cheng family in one fell swoop."
“Go back and tell your father that this arm is a warning to your Cheng family. If you back down, then this matter ends here. If you feel you’ve been wronged, then come find me. Remember my name, Ye Xingchen.”
"Fine, fine, Ye Xingchen, you just wait." Cheng Qiang endured the pain, large beads of cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
His negotiation with Gu Manyun this time was actually a test, but in Ye Xingchen's view, his test was actually a crazy act of courting death.
"Ake, let's go." Cheng Qiang struggled to his feet, and several thugs behind him quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Seeing their young master have his arm forcibly severed, none of the thugs dared to step forward, because they knew that even if they did, they would only be cannon fodder. Showing loyalty was fine, but risking their lives for it would not be worth it.
"You can leave, she can stay." Ye Xingchen stared at Ake and sneered, "A herb-wielding person from Futu Mountain?"
“That’s right, I am the medicine man from Mount Futu.” Ake raised his head and said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, hehe, I've heard so much about you." Ye Xingchen grinned. "I can't control whether your Futu Mountain breaks the rules of entering the world, but you'd better not have any conflict of interest with me. Otherwise, even if the three saints of Futu Mountain come down the mountain, it won't help."
“We at Mount Futu have never been threatened.” Akko struggled to her feet, suppressing the chaotic energy within her body. “But I will take your words back with me.”
"You've got it wrong." Ye Xingchen glanced at her coldly. "I don't have any major grudge against Futu Mountain, but their involvement in the world has broken the rules and created a conflict of interest with me."
"So I intend to give Mount Futu a warning."
"What do you want? Do you dare to touch the people of Futu Mountain?" Ake's expression changed drastically.
