Before long, wisps of smoke began to rise from several places. How could those two incredibly shrewd old men not know what was going on? Smoke was coming from all four directions surrounding the ancestral hall: east, west, south, and north.
Seeing this, Jin Fu instructed the guards, "Ten men per group, go wherever there is smoke!"
Soon, under Jin Fu's orders, the four squads of guards went in four directions, while the rest remained in place to guard. Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng split up and went to two different locations at random. The remaining three elders originally wanted to follow,
However, after some thought, they couldn't guarantee that Gong Huanyu wouldn't think the same way they did. Since they could all think that the most dangerous place was the safest, why not do the opposite and come out from here?
Gong Huanyu unfortunately encountered Gong Yuanzheng. His martial arts skills were naturally not as strong as Gong Huanyu's, but who was Gong Yuanzheng? A medical and poison genius who was rare in a hundred years. If he did not use poison, he was indeed no match for him.
At the cave entrance, Gong Yuanzheng reached for his gloves, slowly pulling them on. His pupils appeared unusually dilated in the dim light, his eyes gleaming with excitement. A classic smile played on his lips, giving him an unsettling, almost sickly appearance. "Found the bug!"
His voice suddenly became deep and powerful, his speech quickened, as if he couldn't wait to grab the prey that had suddenly appeared, his tone rising with an irrepressible excitement.
The ten guards following behind him immediately felt as if their feet were bound by heavy iron chains, unable to move their feet. Even though they couldn't see the young master's expression, just hearing his tone of voice was enough to amplify their fear infinitely.
Gong Huanyu didn't take the person in front of him seriously at all. His Xuan Shi Divine Skill had reached the tenth level, and dealing with this little Karami was a piece of cake. Thinking of this, Gong Huanyu looked at Gong Yuanzheng with disdain, as if watching an ant trying to move an elephant without realizing that it simply didn't have that ability.
He couldn't help but snort coldly, "Little brother Yuanzheng, the difference between us is not small. You and the people behind you pose no threat to me!"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Gong Yuanzheng wasn't that kind of fool. He knew he had no chance against Gong Huanyu in terms of martial arts, but so what? He had never relied on martial arts, had he?
The two faced off, their eyes locked in a fierce battle. Gong Yuanzheng launched the first attack, his movements swift and precise, each punch and kick accompanied by the sound of wind cutting through the air. Gong Huanyu reached out and blocked Gong Yuanzheng's attack, as steady as a mountain, each move solid and powerful.
Gong Yuanzheng launched a surprise side kick, followed by a double punch that sent Gong Huanyu catching him off guard. Gong Huanyu was struck hard in the waist. Seeing his success, Gong Yuanzheng leaped back a few steps in mid-air.
With a flick of his wrist, he held a pill between his fingers and forcefully flung it to Gong Huanyu's feet. The impact caused the pill to explode instantly, and yellow gas immediately filled the cave. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and Gong Yuanzheng was able to stand firmly away from the yellow gas.
As the yellow aura dissipated, Gong Huanyu's body on the ground gradually loomed larger, his eyes filled with smugness. He had known all along that Gong Huanyu had faked his death and that Baicao Cui would not be taken away.
Even if they were taken away, so what? Baicao Cui is delivered to each palace once every half month. According to the amount of Baicao Cui that Gong Huanyu obtained, it wouldn't last until now. When my brother had someone light the dry grass, he also put herbs that could suppress internal energy in it. Combined with what we just used, it could make people lose their internal energy in an instant.
He doesn't fight unprepared battles. Only Gong Huanyu would think that someone whose martial arts are inferior to his own is insignificant. What a pity, how could he forget that he is a poison user?
"What are you all standing there for? Tie them up." Gong Yuanzheng's sharp eyes swept over the guards, his tone calm yet tinged with excitement. He was extremely confident in the poison he had concocted; even the most skilled martial artist couldn't possibly be on guard every single moment.
The key issue is that we still don't know when this kind of thing will appear.
The guards cautiously approached, their comical appearance and actions finding Gong Yuanzheng utterly ridiculous. They only stopped when Gong Huanyu was bound like a pretzel; they were all afraid he would break free of the ropes halfway through.
Even if all of them combined their martial arts skills were higher than Gong Huanyu's, it would be another fierce battle!
"Brother Yuanzheng!" Gong Shangjiao rushed over, placing his hands on Gong Yuanzheng's shoulders to carefully check if he was injured and how serious his injuries were. He knew about Gong Huanyu's martial arts skills; although he wasn't as good as him, he was stronger than Yuanzheng, who was about ten years younger than him. Yuanzheng couldn't withstand his strength and experience.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm not hurt. His martial arts are very powerful, but I'm a master of poison! Besides, I already poisoned him from the beginning!"
After confirming that his younger brother was unharmed, Gong Shangjiao finally relaxed. Earlier, he and his brother Yuanzheng had parted ways, and on the way, he had remembered that Yuanzheng's martial arts skills were not strong, and he feared he would be at a disadvantage if they encountered each other.
Immediately annoyed that he had forgotten such an important matter, he quickly channeled his internal energy and rushed over. Fortunately, his younger brother Yuanzheng was alright.
