Qin Mangs Choice
Hek Central Hospital, Special Ward 1.
Xia Fei hurriedly got out of the hovercar. Thuram, who had already received the news, was waiting outside the door, looking rather nervous.
The old man doesnt seem to be in a good condition today. Im afraid that he wont be able to make it through the night, said Thuram. At the same time, his eyes sneaked a peek at the transparent vial in Xia Feis right hand. Thuram knew very well that this vial contained the venom of the six-winged skylords, but he had no idea what Xia Fei was trying to do.
Im going to see the old man immediately, said Xia Fei in a deep voice.
Thuram nodded firmly and led Xia Fei into the ward.
There were quite a few people in the hall, and they were split into two groups. One group was led by Qin Mangs eldest disciple, Na Lian, with Ye Jingshan among them, while the other group was led by the headquarter's department head, Marta, who were all elderly people.
They formed two distinct groups in the hall. It was obvious that these people were here to fight for the items left behind by Qin Mangs death. Meanwhile, the third group formed by Xia Fei and Thuram was clearly weaker, being at a disadvantage both in terms of strength and numbers.
Thuram and Qin Mangs headed upstairs without saying a word.
Hold it. Marta, who was not far away, suddenly said. Two burly men guarding the staircase immediately reached out to stop Xia Fei and Thuram after receiving Marta's instructions.
The doctor has instructed us not to disturb him. Lets just wait here in the hall for news. Marta walked over with a smile.
Thats right. Master's condition is still not stable. We should follow the doctor's instructions. Na Lian purposely emphasized the word 'master', clearly hinting to the others that he was Qin Mangs disciple and that their relationship was closer than theirs.
The secret struggle between these people immediately infuriated Xia Fei. The old man was already in grave danger, yet these people were still fighting for their own interests.
Xia Fei's expression darkened as he ignored these people's obstruction and took a step up the stairs. The two burly men immediately reached out to grab the corner of Xia Fei's clothes.
* Slap slap! *
Two large hands pressed down on Xia Fei's shoulders like pincers, but they would soon regret their rash actions in the next second.
Xia Fei revealed an evil smile as his hands moved slightly, unsheathing Celestial Moon.
Whoosh!
There was a flash of silver. Xia Fei's speed was so fast that before these people could even see what had happened, two severed wrists fell to the ground, blood spurting out like an open faucet!
"Those who stand in my way shall die!" Xia Fei growled. His voice was not loud, but it was filled with determination.
The two burly men screamed in pain like pigs being slaughtered. They covered their broken arms with one hand to stop the blood from flowing out. Their faces were pale.
No one in the hall had expected that Xia Fei would actually dare to make a killing move at this moment, completely disregarding them.
"Well said!" Thuram laughed heartily and pointed at Marta's nose with one hand. "If you don't want to die, then stay here obediently. If anyone dares to take one step up these steps, I'll chop off his legs. If anyone takes two steps, I'll take his life!"
With that, Thuram swung his right fist at the concrete wall. Bam!
There was a crisp sound as a round hole about the thickness of an index finger appeared in the wall.
It must be mentioned that this was an alloy-concrete wall, which was as hard as steel. Thuram had only used a finger to pierce through the wall like it was a thin piece of paper. His cultivation was truly terrifying!
Everyone was completely stunned. Xia Fei and Thuram were acting like two madmen who did not care about their lives. From the looks of it, they had no intention of being reasonable and were going to be unreasonable!
* Whoosh! Whoosh! *
The two bodyguards with broken arms were grabbed by the collars by Thuram and thrown into the garden from the stairwell like sacks. Another wave of painful wails could be heard from outside.
Marta was livid. It seemed that Thuram was determined to stand on the same side as Xia Fei today. If it was just Xia Fei, Marta would only need a glance to kill him, but now that Thuram was involved, he had no choice but to reevaluate the situation.
Thuram and Marta were both ministers of the Adjudicator Headquarters and held great power. If the two ministers were to fall out with each other, there would surely be a bloodbath.
The problem now was that Thuram was the first to fall out with Xia Fei, making it clear that he was going to fight to the death today. Now, all that remained was to see how the other minister, Marta, would respond.
Thuram casually sat on the stairs and said, "Xia Fei, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and do what you need to do. If anyone dares to stop you, don't hold back. If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you! "
Xia Fei nodded and quickly made his way up the stairs.
Thuram's eldest disciple, Nalian, had been hiding in the dark with a few of his fellow disciples, waiting for Thuram and Marta to fight it out. The cunning Marta, of course, knew all this. He could ignore a small fry like Nalian, but a big tiger like Thuram was far from easy to deal with.
According to his plan, once Qin Mangs death, Marta would find a way to tamper with his will. If he failed, he would use force to force those who had obtained the items to hand them over. Most importantly, the items could not fall into Thuram's hands. He was the only one out of all of them that he did not want to deal with no matter what.
He did not expect Thuram to unexpectedly open fire at him in front of so many people, making it clear that he was going to go against him. As such, all of his meticulous plans were rendered useless.
Lord Thuram, let's just talk things out. Why do you have to make things difficult for these blind fools? Marta decided not to shed all pretense of cordiality for the time being and decided to observe first.
Nalian was quite disappointed. He was originally the weakest, and now that Marta and Thuram were unwilling to fight, he no longer had the chance to reap the benefits. He secretly cursed both Thuram and Marta in his heart, wondering if he should find a side to join. After all, it was impossible for him to gain any advantage over these two giants with just the few people he had.
The situation had temporarily calmed down, but everyone knew that there was a huge commotion behind the calm. Everyone believed that Qin Mangs death was imminent and that there was no way he would survive this ordeal.
The people downstairs harbored ulterior motives. Xia Fei had already arrived at Qin Mangs ward. Without Marta's orders, the strong men guarding the ward did not stop him.
He unceremoniously asked the doctors and nurses in the ward to leave before locking the door and coming to Qin Mangs side. At the same time, he repeatedly checked the room for any movement to prevent any accidents.
Qin Mangs expression was fatigued as he weakly laid on the bed. He squinted his eyes and said, Dont bother looking. There's nobody here, but there's a surveillance system.
Xia Fei nodded and said with a serious expression, Old man, do you trust me?
Qin Mangs smiled. What evil idea did you come up with this time?
Thats no evil idea, but a deadly one.
A deadly one? My life is about to be gone. Youre a little too late to ask for it.
With a flip of his palm, Xia Fei took out the small bottle of brown medicine. This is poison, concocted using the venom of the six-winged skylords.
So what? Qin Mangs asked.
There are two outcomes if you drink it. The first is that you will die immediately from the poison, while the second is that you will live a little longer before dying from the poison, Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Qin Mangs was slightly surprised and asked curiously, The first is understandable, but what is the reason for the second?
Xia Fei smiled. "Old man, I won't hide it from you; I've learned a bit about concocting medicine in private, and I'm the one who concocted this medicine. It's a method of fighting poison with poison. After consuming it, there's a chance that the poison in your body will be temporarily suppressed, preventing it from acting up.
Qin Mangs was silent for a moment before he said hesitantly, You mean to say that one kind of poison is used to suppress another kind of poison?
Thats right. Xia Fei nodded firmly. Thats only a possibility. Ive already concocted the medicine. As for whether you want to take the risk or not, that is still up to you, old man.
Before he finished speaking, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. Several strong men rushed in and surrounded the ward.
Xia Fei already knew that there was a surveillance system in the ward, so Marta and the others must have seen his every word and action, which was why they had barged in at all costs to try and stop Xia Fei.
Xia Fei stuffed the bottle of poison into Qin Mangs hand and stood up without a word, his cold gaze sweeping across the room.
Chaotic footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor. Marta, Thuram, Ye Jingshan, and Na Lian had all entered the ward, their eyes flickering.
Thuram was somewhat hesitant. Xia Fei guessed that he must have found out that Xia Fei wanted Qin Mangs to take the poison, which was why he had some doubts. After all, fighting poison with poison was too bizarre, and it was not something that could be easily accepted by normal people.
Xia Fei, how could you let the old man drink the poison? Thuram furrowed his eyebrows.
Xia Fei did not say a word.
Hmph! Youre trying to kill my master? Thats not that easy! Ye Jingshan pointed at Xia Fei's nose.
Xia Fei continued to maintain his silence, his fingers stroking his spatial ring, ready to deal with the worst-case scenario.
Ive already explained to the old man. He will die if he doesnt drink the poison, but he might have a chance if he drinks it, Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
"Nonsense! How could he possibly survive after taking the poison? Youre deliberately trying to kill Qin Mangs! Marta barked, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, filled with killing intent.
Xia Fei smiled. His life is the old man's. It is his business whether he believes me or not. He has the right to choose, so why are you all so nervous?
That was when Qin Mangs, who was lying on the sickbed, suddenly sat up and let out a weak laugh. Xia Fei is right. This is my business, and I dont need you all to worry about it.
* Slap! *
Qin Mangs finger pushed open the bottle cap and was about to pour it into his mouth without any explanation.
Several figures rushed over from all directions, trying to stop Qin Mangs path.
That was when Celestial Moon turned into eighteen circular blades, drawing elegant arcs in the air, completely sealing off the path of these people.
This is the old man's choice! Dont blame me for being merciless if anyone dares to stop me!
Xia Fei bellowed. His hair stood on end. It was as if a god of death had suddenly appeared in front of the sickbed, using his body to block them.
* Gulp gulp! *
