Chapter 18, Daily Dizziness
As the footsteps grew louder, the figures of a group of people gradually became clearer, and Pan Tianlei led his men out slowly from the darkness.
His face was full of smugness and arrogance. His gaze lingered on the snake-like flowers for a moment before he looked at Qiu Nan and Yin Lisheng provocatively.
"I'll take these flowers!"
Qiu Nan frowned and said angrily, "Pan Tianlei, don't go too far. We discovered it first."
Pan Tianlei sneered: "So what if we found it first? Whether we can get it in the secret realm depends on our own abilities. If you two know what's good for you, you'd better get out of the way, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Yin Lisheng shifted his gaze to what was behind him. Besides the few underlings he had seen before, there were several unfamiliar faces behind Pan Tianlei, presumably other disciples who had joined after entering the secret realm.
Whether he was lucky or used some other method, the secret realm was so vast, yet he managed to gather all his underlings in such a short time.
But obviously, this was huge bad news for Yin Lisheng and Qiu Nan. The other side had a large number of people and was powerful, and the two of them probably would have a hard time getting these snake gu flowers out of their hands unharmed.
Qiu Nan gripped his sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "Try it if you dare."
Pan Tianlei's face darkened, and he gave his henchmen a look. They immediately understood, drew their swords, and surrounded Qiu Nan and Yin Lisheng.
Not to be outdone, Qiu Nan gathered his spiritual power into his sword and charged forward first.
With talent comparable to Yu Jiangheng, the senior disciple of Qingyuan Sect, Qiu Nan's strength was among the best of this group of disciples. His agile movements and unstoppable momentum caused Pan Tianlei's underlings to retreat step by step, but they had the advantage in numbers and quickly surrounded him again.
In a secluded corner where no one was watching, Yin Lisheng quietly slipped to the side of the snake-gu flower while Pan Tianlei and the others were focused on Qiu Nan.
He reached out and, not caring whether the sap was poisonous or not, uprooted the entire patch of flowers and put them into his Qiankun bag.
However, just as he was halfway through pulling it out, Pan Tianlei's gaze happened to fall on him.
"Stop him!" Pan Tianlei shouted, pointing in Yin Lisheng's direction.
Two of his underlings tried to break away and chase after Yin Lisheng, but Qiu Nan wouldn't let them. He forcefully pushed back the people blocking his way, then quickly turned around and unleashed a spiritual energy barrier, temporarily trapping the two underlings.
"Useless things!" Pan Tianlei angrily ordered the others to surround him as well.
Upon hearing his command, the remaining underlings immediately turned around and approached Yin Lisheng.
Yin Lisheng gripped the Qiankun bag tightly, and when Pan Tianlei's henchmen were only a few steps away from him, he suddenly took something out of the Qiankun bag and threw it into the air.
Instantly, a large cloud of white powder drifted out like snowflakes. Pan Tianlei's henchmen, caught off guard, were immediately blinded and stopped in their tracks, covering their mouths and noses. Coughs and curses rose and fell.
"What the hell is this?!" Pan Tianlei was enraged by the sudden powder. He endured the discomfort caused by his difficulty breathing and stared wide-eyed, trying to find Yin Lisheng and Qiu Nan.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Yin Lisheng called out in Qiu Nan's direction, "Qiu Nan, over here!"
Upon hearing the sound, Qiu Nan immediately brandished his sword, forcing back several enemies in front of him. With a few nimble flips, he arrived beside Yin Lisheng.
Pan Tianlei naturally heard the sound as well. He was overjoyed and was about to order his men to give chase when a series of crackling sounds rang out, followed by a series of explosions.
By the time the group had hurriedly cleaned up the mess, Yin Lisheng and Qiu Nan had already disappeared from sight.
On the other side, Qiu Nan, panting heavily, put Yin Lisheng down from his shoulder and leaned against a tree, breathing heavily.
After catching his breath, he asked Yin Lisheng in surprise, "What did you just throw away? Aren't weapons forbidden in the secret realm?"
Yin Lisheng: "It's flour."
"Flour?" Qiu Nan suddenly realized, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, flour is indeed not a weapon, and it explodes when exposed to an open flame. Although it is unlikely to cause them any real damage, it will certainly make that Pan guy feel disgusted for a while."
Qiu Nan found it increasingly amusing, but he soon realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Yin Lisheng had collapsed at some point.
"Li Sheng, Li Sheng, what's wrong with you!"
