Chapter 1874: Chapter 1870: Multiple Poisonings

"Just as I expected, these poisoned people not only have a drastic increase in strength, but their physical functions have also mutated, becoming more resilient to hits."

Tang Xinhai nodded seriously, "With so much poisonous gas here, their strength is continuous, keep it up."

"A group of undying monsters, how am I supposed to fight them?"

Tang Ming protested with a hint of irritation.

"Just fight them however you like, you won’t get hurt anyway."

Tang Xinhai chuckled and dragged Hua Yingjie aside to watch the fun, "Our safety is in your hands, good luck."

"I..."

Tang Ming wanted to say something, but the monsters attacked him simultaneously, forcing him to engage in battle using his Gang Qi.

"Tang Ming, show us your secret techniques quickly. I want to see from your martial arts just who your master Tang Cha really is."

Tang Xinhai looked at Tang Ming expectantly and reminded him.

"Get lost."

Tang Ming cursed irritably, constantly dodging and striking, repeatedly blasting the monsters away, only to be surrounded again and again.

Tang Ming indeed had secret techniques, the Thousand Evil Poison Technique given to him by Tang Cha, and the Huaxia Secret Technique taught by the old madman, all of which were top-notch martial arts in today’s world. But the problem was that he couldn’t use these techniques in front of others.

Now knowing that there were so many hidden experts among the contestants, Tang Ming felt even more constrained by his master’s warning not to reveal these techniques.

The feeling of possessing great skills but being unable to use them was too frustrating; walking in fine clothes at night, unable to show off riches, is painful for anyone.

Seven or eight monsters surrounded Tang Ming and launched a frenzied bombardment. While they couldn’t harm Tang Ming, he also couldn’t manage to eliminate them, completely entangled.

"Are we really not going to help?"

Hua Yingjie swallowed hard, hiding worriedly behind Tang Xinhai.

"I can’t possibly step in for him. You’ve become quite strong now; would you like to give it a try?"

Tang Xinhai looked at Hua Yingjie strangely.

"Count me out! Although my strength has inexplicably increased significantly, I’m a doctor and not good at fighting. Now, I can’t even unleash my full strength, going up there would just mean throwing my life away."

Hua Yingjie shook his head hurriedly.

"Good that you are aware of yourself. Your strength rose too quickly, your foundation is unstable, so just stay put."

Tang Xinhai pouted, watching Tang Ming, who was caught in a tough fight, with interest, "This guy’s martial arts are messy, each move is fierce and ruthless, maybe he’s from the Assassins. Did I analyze it wrong?"

With Tang Ming in trouble, the other contestants breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to worry about being harassed by monsters. They all stayed in safe places, with no one interested in helping Tang Ming.

In such a dangerous environment, self-preservation is the key.

While Tang Ming was fighting the monsters, in a dark corner, Bai Shengqi looked wickedly at the direction of the battle, his eyes flashing with a dark glow. He just leaned against the wall, without any poison-defense measures, looking very carefree.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Tang Ming was sweating profusely, feeling that the monsters were growing stronger.

"Kid, your stamina is being seriously depleted, whereas these monsters can always absorb the poisonous gas to maintain their peak condition. If you don’t figure out a way to deal with them quickly, you’ll be worn out."

Tang Xinhai, sitting on the ground, reminded him with interest.

"Do you think I don’t want to? Haven’t you seen these things are all indestructible?"

Tang Ming responded through gritted teeth, so frustrated he could almost vomit blood.

To deal with these things, using the Huaxia Secret Technique would be enough to chop them into pieces, and employing the Thousand Evil Poison Technique could reduce them to a pool of slurry. But he couldn’t use either of these methods!

After a while longer, Tang Ming finally got ruthless, quickly forming seals with his hands, and a black-glowing array plate emerged beneath his feet, enveloping all the monsters surrounding him.

"Heavenly Mechanism Storm."

Tang Ming shouted angrily, an energy storm swept all four monsters, dismembering them under the effect of various attribute energies, and finally reducing them to ashes.

"Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes?"

Tang Xinhai was surprised, astonished that Tang Ming could use the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s secret technique.

"Finally dealt with it."

Tang Ming wiped his brow with a cold snort and retreated to Tang Xinhai and Hua Yingjie’s side.

"How do you know Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes? Are you from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"

Tang Xinhai frowned and stared at Tang Ming.

"My master taught me, so what?"

Tang Ming glared at Tang Xinhai nonchalantly.

"Your master not only knows how to cultivate Dust Gu but also taught you Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes. Just who is he?"

Tang Xinhai grew even more puzzled, "I always thought he was from the Ancient Tang Sect; turns out I was wrong."

"Then keep guessing. I need to meditate now."

Tang Ming couldn’t be bothered with Tang Xinhai and immediately found a place to sit down to meditate and regain his strength.

He had intended to use the opportunity to cultivate properly, but he didn’t expect to exhaust so much energy, damn it!

On the other side, when Bai Shengqi saw that Tang Ming managed to eliminate all four monsters, his face turned ugly.

"That bastard really has skills, no wonder he’s so arrogant."

Bai Shengqi cursed and immediately started cursing again.

Quickly, Bai Shengqi arrived in front of two young men wearing protective clothing and cautiously receiving IVs.

"Brother Bai, where have you been? We thought something happened to you."

The two immediately greeted Bai Shengqi, concernedly reminding him, "The poison here is so strong, why aren’t you protecting yourself? Aren’t you afraid of getting poisoned?"

"Heh! I’ve already been poisoned."

Bai Shengqi laughed coldly and suddenly reached out to remove the gas masks from the two men’s faces.

"What are you doing?"

The two screamed immediately, then began clutching their throats and rolling on the ground, their bodies quickly mutating.

Bai Shengqi didn’t even look at the two mutating people and turned his head towards Tang Ming’s direction, "Damn bastard, if four aren’t enough for you, I’ll send eight. I don’t believe I can’t kill you."

"Roar, roar, roar."

Soon after, those two poisoned men turned into hideous monsters. Strangely, the two monsters didn’t attack Bai Shengqi. Instead, following Bai Shengqi’s gestures, they crazily charged towards Tang Ming and the others.

Bai Shengqi smiled wickedly and moved again, starting to hunt for other contestants’ hiding spots in the room, attacking them and turning unlucky ones into monsters.

This dangerous room suddenly became Bai Shengqi’s hunting ground. Many people didn’t die from the poisonous gas or monsters, but instead fell to Bai Shengqi’s schemes.

Not long after Tang Ming entered meditation to recover, he felt the ground start to shake, and his expression became alarmed.

"What the hell is happening? How come there are suddenly so many more poisoned people?"

Tang Xinhai frowned as he looked around, "With the earlier chaos, I retracted my Dust Gu, so I don’t know what’s happened?"
