Without Linghu Sheng's magical support, the formation could no longer be maintained, and the room quickly returned to its original brightness.
The black thorns that had pierced the guards' bodies disappeared quietly when everyone witnessed Nan Xian unilaterally beating Linghu Sheng. The guards were left with only wounds, and after the bleeding stopped, they were fine.
"Don't worry, I know a really good hairstylist, she can definitely help you—"
Huo Shaoying pulled Nan Xian out, and in the meantime, she gave the guards a wink. The guards immediately understood, and two or three of them came forward and pulled Linghu Sheng up from the ground. They grabbed his chin and pried open his mouth, while another guard took out a palm-sized box from his pocket. Inside was a golden pill with a shimmering surface that looked very valuable.
He stuffed the golden pill into Linghu Sheng's mouth.
Linghu Sheng had a strong will to survive. Although he was unconscious, as soon as his body felt the vibrant life force emanating from the pill, he reflexively swallowed it.
After the pill entered his stomach, in just a few blinks of an eye, Linghu Sheng's breathing went from faint to steady, and his body temperature gradually rose and returned to normal.
The guard looked at the box with pity, then glared at Linghu Sheng with all his might. If his eyes could turn into knives, Linghu Sheng would probably be torn to pieces by now.
"This is a priceless Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Pill, the only one the master possesses! And you, you scoundrel, used it! What a waste of such a precious thing!"
As expected of a soldier trained by the First Leader, even their swear words are the same as hers.
Another person advised, "Well, there's nothing we can do. Who wouldn't want to kill him? But his dog's life is still useful, so let's just bear with it!"
"If only that female demon—cough, Miss Nan, if only Miss Nan had gone easy on him, left him a little longer, then we wouldn't have had to waste that Rejuvenation Pill."
"Hehe, if it weren't for someone else, we'd all be meeting the King of Hell by now, believe it or not?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They turned to look at their brothers who could no longer stand, and each of them couldn't help but show a sorrowful expression.
"They died for us, brothers, we must live even better to avenge them!"
"Yes, avenge them!"
While the men on one side were moved to tears, Huo Shaoying and Nan Xian had already gone down to the hall.
At this moment, Shixi Building looked as if it had been ransacked; the chaos could not be described as mere wreckage.
The hall was empty except for a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all with faces as white as paper, mouths wide open, and limbs twisted, their deaths extremely bizarre.
Nan Xian vaguely remembered that before the riot broke out, someone seemed to shout "poisonous".
"Were they all poisoned?"
“Yes, they were poisoned by the unique poison of the Golden Scale Butterfly.” Huo Shaoying took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped a little pale golden powder off the clothes of a corpse. She looked at it closely. “The Golden Scale Butterfly is the most poisonous of the Golden Scale Butterfly species. As long as the skin comes into contact with the scales on their wings, the toxin will seep into the skin and spread to the heart through the blood vessels. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a dozen seconds. Once the face of the poisoned person turns golden, even a celestial being cannot save them.”
This poison is incredibly potent!?
Thinking of the dazzling beauty of those golden butterflies fluttering about, Nan Xian couldn't help but shudder. "What if I accidentally get some on myself?"
Huo Shaoying: "Cut off and block the blood flow to the contact area."
"Cut it off?" Nan Xian was taken aback. She pointed to herself. "What if it's on my forehead? Wouldn't that mean it's completely hopeless?"
Huo Shaoying paused for a moment, then nodded.
She had never seen a headless creature that could live.
