Qi Zonglin's sword was right in front of Han Yunxi when his wrist was suddenly hit by a stone that appeared out of nowhere. His hand hurt, and his sword was deflected. Han Yunxi dodged in a hurry. She supported Xu Donglin and backed away from Qi Zonglin.
"Who's there?" Qi Zonglin demanded loudly. Unfortunately, he did not see anyone except for the assassins of Liberty City around him.
Qi Zonglin's wrist hurt. He looked at it, only to discover that the 'stone' that had just flown over was actually a seed that had sprouted in his flesh!
Well …
Qi Zonglin had never seen such a thing before, but he was not someone to be trifled with. He immediately drew out his dagger and stabbed it into his flesh, gouging out the seed along with its roots.
The roots that he had gouged out were not short. Fortunately, he had acted fast enough. Otherwise, his hand that was holding the sword would have been seriously injured.
Whoever the seed was, it did not come with good intentions! He had to capture Han Yunxi first.
However, when Qi Zonglin walked toward Han Yunxi, a lazy and slightly mocking voice came from outside the crowd. "Even I don't dare to bully this woman. Qi Zonglin, are you blind?"
The voice was not low, but it was impossible to tell where it came from. The surrounding assassins were all looking for the source, but they could not find anyone. Han Yunxi stopped abruptly. She looked around in disbelief, but she could not see anyone either.
However, she knew who the newcomer was!
This mocking voice was all too familiar!
"Who are you exactly? What kind of hero are you to ambush the mayor? Come out! "Qi Zonglin said coldly. He did not forget to rush toward Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi did not retreat. She glanced at Qi Zonglin's wrist and warned with a sneer, "Qi Zonglin, if you take one more step forward, do you believe that someone will feed the only antidote to the dogs?"
Qi Zonglin was greatly shocked. He hurriedly looked at his wrist, only to discover that the wound on his wrist had turned black. It was a sign of poisoning!
"Han Yunxi, where's the antidote?"
Just as he was about to reach out to grab Han Yunxi, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand. It was as if he was being burned by a raging fire. The pain was so intense that he couldn't exert any strength.
Han Yunxi continued to retreat. "This poison is called Flame Poison. It starts from the wound and slowly spreads to the whole body. City Lord Qi will soon know what it feels like to be burned by fire. "
Qi Zonglin was not easily intimidated. He immediately ordered, "Men, catch this b * tch!"
Only by capturing Han Yunxi would he have the capital to negotiate with the poisoner. Otherwise, his poison would be incurable.
Several elders immediately rushed over. At this moment, a thorny vine suddenly shot out from under Han Yunxi's feet. It madly grew countless branches, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in the air.
The thorny vines had grown out of the seed Qi Zonglin had dug out just then. They protected Han Yunxi in the center while their countless branches danced in the air, frightening everyone who saw them. No one dared to draw near.
So beautiful!
Han Yunxi looked at the dancing thorny vines. It was the first time she realized that thorny vines were such elegant and beautiful plants. It was also the first time she realized that these plants that blocked the way could also be used to protect people.
Qi Zonglin's hand was hurting more and more. He pressed down with his other hand and said coldly, "Chop it off!"
"Qi Zonglin, it looks like you don't want the antidote anymore!" That person chuckled. Although they couldn't see him, they could imagine his fragrant breath. He laughed and said, "It's fine if you don't want it. Anyway, you can still chop off that hand."
This time, everyone could tell where the voice was coming from. Everyone looked towards the south at almost the same time, and the killers who were surrounding the south retreated immediately.
They saw a red figure fly over and land in front of the dancing thorny vines. It was a man in red.
That red robe was as red as fire. It had wide sleeves and was luxurious and beautiful as it spread out on the ground. Just his back was so beautiful that it could cause the downfall of cities and take people's souls.
Amidst everyone's shock, he looked back and smiled at Han Yunxi. In an instant, the dim world seemed to brighten up. Even the thorny vines bloomed into enchanting red flowers.
It was him, Gu!
"Xiao Qi … long time no see," Han Yunxi muttered to herself.
"Who are you?" Qi Zonglin asked coldly. In an instant, all the killers surrounded him.
"He's Gu. Hehe, he was originally the owner of the Heavenly Fragrance Teashop. I don't know when he became Long Fei Ye's lackey!" Qi Yaotian sneered.
So what if Gu Qishao came? Could he defeat all of Carefree City by himself?
"This person is proficient in unorthodox methods. His poison techniques are also very powerful. Everyone, be careful! "Qi Yaotian reminded again.
"Gu, hand over the antidote, and this city lord will let you live. Otherwise, this city lord will definitely cripple your arms and legs in exchange for this city lord's hand!" Qi Zonglin warned domineeringly.
Unexpectedly, Gu ignored him. Instead, he frowned and looked at Qi Yaotian. "What did you just say?"
"This young lord said that you are Long Fei Ye's lackey!" Qi Yaotian did not back down.
Gu's flirtatious eyes immediately narrowed into a straight line. His voice became arrogant. "Qi Yaotian, do you know when this young master arrived?"
Not to mention Qi Yaotian, everyone present was baffled. What did this question mean?
"I don't care when you arrived. If you know what's good for you, hand over the antidote quickly! Your tricks can fool others, but not my Carefree City! "Qi Yaotian was very disdainful.
Gu ignored him and said Coldly, "This young master arrived before you killed all of Long Fei Ye's Shadow Guards."
This … What did this mean?
"Do you know why this young master waited until now to take action?" Gu asked again.
For some reason, Qi Yaotian felt his hair stand on end. However, he quickly ignored it and said with a contemptuous smile, "Are you trying to show off your might? A hero saving a beauty? You are overestimating yourself. You are courting death! "
Gu played with his beautifully manicured fingernails and continued, "Because this young master hates Long Fei Ye. If I don't seize this opportunity to suppress his arrogance, this young master will feel uncomfortable all over."
Even Han Yunxi was baffled. What was Gu doing? He had arrived a long time ago, yet he had waited until now. He was alone. How was he going to deal with an entire city of experts?
Last time, he had been wounded to such an extent when he responded to the archers of the Chu family. This time, he was facing the entire Carefree City!
Han Yunxi almost wanted to run over and knock Gu's head and tell him, "Dear, stop being so pretentious!"
"Hehe. Then, tell me. How are you going to suppress Long Fei Ye's arrogance? Why? Are you going to fight ten people alone? "Qi Zonglin sneered." Why don't you have a fight with me? If you win, Carefree City will retreat. If you lose, hand over the antidote, and I'll take Han Yunxi away. How does that sound? "
Gu Qishao arched a brow at him, his eyes as charming as silk. Forget about women, even men would fall for his charms. Qi Zonglin found the sight of his face rather pleasing to the eye.
But Gu Qishao's demeanor suddenly changed. He spat crudely, his spittle landing on Qi Zonglin's face. "Your grandfather! Do you think I'm an idiot? One against ten? Won't I be beaten to a pulp? Let me tell you. Not just one against ten, I can't even fight you one on one! I've brought my men here today, too! I'm going to fight a hundred against ten! "
Aside from Han Yunxi, everyone else was given a fright by Gu Qishao's sudden change. But what truly frightened them was what happened next.
"Come out, all of you!"
Hardly had Gu's voice faded away when groups of people whose faces were as pale as corpses walked out of the woods in all directions. They were all as expressionless as warriors of sacrifice. Although they did not carry any weapons, and there was no telling whether or not they knew any martial arts, the air of death and decay that they emitted was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
They were so numerous that they had surrounded all the people of Carefree City.
The people of Carefree City seemed calm, but they were actually panicking. Qi Zonglin's face was awful, too. He mumbled to himself, "Warriors of sacrifice …"
Gu tidied up his somewhat messy hair and answered casually, "No, they're just poison corpses."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zonglin almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The faces of the assassins around him all turned pale.
They were actually poison corpses. No wonder they looked even more sinister and terrifying than warriors of sacrifice!
The Poison Men that Jun Yi Xie raised were already very frightening, and he had raised no more than ten poison corpses. Who would have thought that Gu would raise such a large group of poison corpses! Even if Carefree City could deal with the warriors of sacrifice, they could not deal with so many poison corpses!
Not only were poison corpses immune to many poisons, they could also poison invisibly.
Qi Zonglin was drenched in cold sweat. He even forgot the burning sensation on his hands. "Gu, y-you …"
"How about it? My men are stronger than Long Fei Ye's Shadow Guard, aren't they?" Gu asked very seriously and solemnly, "Qi Zonglin, when my poison corpses annihilate your entire city, do you think Long Fei Ye will submit to me?"
How should Qi Zonglin answer?
He only felt that the devastatingly beautiful man in front of him was a lunatic!
He had no time to care about Han Yunxi, much less the antidote. He shouted, "Somebody, retreat!"
He jumped into the sky first and flew away with his lightness skill. Almost no one from Carefree City dared to stay. They all flipped in the air and escaped through the encirclement of the poison corpses.
Gu did not order the poison corpses to chase after them. It could be said that he intentionally let them go.
The news that Carefree City had turned out in full force would definitely spread out very soon. He could not really let the poison corpses annihilate Carefree City and let Han Yunxi, the 'remnant of the Poison Sect', bear the infamy. Poison corpses were only bestowed with poisonous insects and were feared by everyone in the world.
Qi Zonglin had been poisoned. If he could not cure himself in time, he could only chop off his hands. It was more or less venting for Poison Girl.
Looking at the corpses of the Shadow Guard all over the ground, he did not really care. He was only depressed that he had come one step too late and frightened Poison Girl.
Step by step, he walked towards Han Yunxi. As he drew closer, the vines slowly withered until they all fell to the ground. He stood right in front of Han Yunxi with a smile that could topple cities and overturn nations, his charms filling the air.
"Poison Girl, it's been a long time since we last met. Did you miss Qi Brother?"
Han Yunxi was so excited that she did not know what to say. She just looked at him, and looked …
"Is Qi Brother really that good-looking?" Gu asked with a chuckle.
This was the first time Han Yunxi had looked at his face and his smile so seriously. Although she had always known that he was very good-looking, she did not know that he was this beautiful.
Gu's devastatingly beautiful and otherworldly beauty had only lasted for a moment. In front of Han Yunxi, he was just an ordinary man in the mortal world.
He was not cold, not beautiful, and not enchanting. He was just like an ordinary man who loved his sweetheart and cared about the most ordinary things, such as food, oil, salt, soy sauce, and tea.
He hurriedly took out a water bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Han Yunxi. "You must be thirsty. Drink quickly. It's warm and neither too hot nor too cold. Don't drink too much. I even brought you some food. "
He rushed to the carriage in the forest and brought back a three-tiered food box. When he opened it, it was filled with piping hot food. He said, "Poison Girl, after such a long journey, you must have not eaten hot food for several days, right? Drink some soup to warm your stomach first. "
As soon as he learned of Han Yunxi's whereabouts this morning, he had personally prepared food and brought it over.
