Peerless Divine Doctor
Chapter 234: The Not-So-Simple Poisonous Scorpion_1
Ye Luo’s brows furrowed slightly, as the Nine Yang True Qi from within his body surged into his right hand, attempting to purify the intense poison. However, the poison directly ignored the Nine Yang True Qi and began to corrode Ye Luo’s right hand.
"It’s useless. The Green Mamba poison can ignore all True Qi. Once it invades the body, there is only one outcome: the whole body will corrode into a puddle of foul liquid. There is no other way to remedy it."
Poisonous Scorpion watched Ye Luo with a chilling expression, sneering coldly.
"Hmph, there’s no poison that can’t be cured in my eyes."
Ye Luo snorted coldly, and with a wave of his left hand, he clutched three silver needles, violently jabbing them into the palm of his right hand, twisting them continuously.
"There’s no point in trying in vain. Even the most skilled Divine Doctor couldn’t cure the Green Mamba poison."
Poisonous Scorpion spoke coldly, the Green Mamba poison was stolen from his sect, and within his sect, it was considered top-tier, deadly poison. Anyone else tainted by it had only one path: death.
But soon after, Poisonous Scorpion’s expression froze. Under the manipulation of the three silver needles by Ye Luo, the poison spreading across Ye Luo’s right hand halted, and he even managed to gather all of the Green Mamba poison in the center of his palm.
Following that, Ye Luo’s left hand once again brandished the silver needles, fiercely stabbing them into a specific acupoint in the center of his palm. A large amount of green blood flowed out from Ye Luo’s palm. His brow furrowed tightly, and his face revealed a hint of painful expression.
"How... how is this possible?"
Watching Ye Luo actually expel the Green Mamba poison, Poisonous Scorpion’s expression stiffened, his face utterly baffled, eyes filled with disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible. If I can’t even cure such a little poison, how can I still call myself the unparalleled Divine Doctor?"
Ye Luo’s mouth curled into a playful smile, but he had to give some credit to this poison. Although Ye Luo was capable of curing it, there was no denying that it was the strongest poison he had encountered to date. If it weren’t for his miraculous acupuncture technique, he might have met his end here today.
"Damn it!"
Poisonous Scorpion’s face turned extremely ugly as he let out a furious shout and charged towards Ye Luo, seeking to launch a fatal attack while Ye Luo was preoccupied with the antidote.
Wandering Dragon’s Hundred Steps!
However, Ye Luo used the incredible movement technique, Wandering Dragon’s Hundred Steps, and his body vanished instantly from in front of Poisonous Scorpion.
Wandering Dragon’s Hundred Steps was a movement technique secret from the Nine Yang Mystic Art. Ye Luo had practiced it for over a decade, and by now, he had honed it to perfection. Once he employed it, even Innate Middle Stage martial artists would have difficulty laying a finger on him.
"Everyone attack, kill him!"
Poisonous Scorpion’s eyes shifted as he ordered his remaining subordinates to attack. In an instant, those underlings, including the eight who were initially injured by Ye Luo, charged at him again, their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, becoming reckless with their lives.
At this moment, Ye Luo had completely driven out the Green Mamba poison from his right hand. Seeing the crowd rushing towards him, his eyes condensed, emitting a sharp and cold intent to kill.
Following that, Ye Luo shot out like a bolt of lightning, ruthlessly attacking Poisonous Scorpion’s men. Each was killed by a single blow. All spewed blood and fell to the ground. Within a matter of seconds, none of the dozen men survived; all were buried at Ye Luo’s hands.
While Ye Luo was slaughtering Poisonous Scorpion’s men, Poisonous Scorpion himself was flickering with light, ready to rush out of the courtyard, obviously planning to escape.
In the current situation, if he continued to stay, Poisonous Scorpion could only meet his end here. That’s why he sent his men to fight desperately, to create an opportunity for his escape.
For a ruthless and brutal person like Poisonous Scorpion, sacrificing the lives of his men in exchange for his own chance to live didn’t count for much.
But what Poisonous Scorpion did not know was that, although Ye Luo was fighting with his men, his attention had always been on him. Seeing Poisonous Scorpion preparing to escape, Ye Luo flicked his right hand, and a silver needle shot out into the night with a woosh.
Poisonous Scorpion had reached the entrance of the courtyard when he suddenly felt a fierce surge of energy attacking from behind. His complexion changed, and his body quickly dodged, but the silver needle still pierced into his left hand, causing a muffled grunt as he felt his left arm swell with pain.
Whoosh!
By this time, Ye Luo had already taken care of Poisonous Scorpion’s dozen or so underlings and was lunging towards Poisonous Scorpion himself.
Seeing Ye Luo rushing over, Poisonous Scorpion’s eyes narrowed, and he violently pulled out a black spherical object from his chest and hurled it at Ye Luo.
Boom!
The black sphere exploded in mid-air, instantly releasing a thick black gas filled with a pungent smell that spread everywhere.
Ye Luo immediately stopped in his tracks. The Nine Yang True Qi was released, enveloping his entire body. This black gas was an extremely toxic poison; just a sniff would be enough to kill an ordinary person instantly, similar to a poison gas bomb.
Then Ye Luo struck out with his palm, and a gust of wind swept through, dispersing the black gas. As for Poisonous Scorpion, he had already vanished from sight, leaving no trace.
With Clairvoyant Eye activated, Ye Luo could see a black sedan speeding away in the distance, with none other than Poisonous Scorpion sitting inside. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Ye Luo’s view.
"This guy, full of poisons, even has something like a poison gas bomb; his background is not simple at all."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Luo thought to himself that both the green venom from before and the poison gas bomb just now were not things people of the secular world would possess. Moreover, the poison arts practiced by Poisonous Scorpion were evidently extraordinary, rarely seen in the secular world.
Thinking long and hard, Ye Luo still could not come up with a clue. He then used the Nine Yang Flames to destroy all the corpses, erasing any evidence before contacting Situ Luoyun.
"Young Master Ye, how did it go?"
Situ Luoyun’s coquettish voice came through the phone.
"Poisonous Scorpion got away. Send more people, find his whereabouts as quickly as possible," Ye Luo said. Poisonous Scorpion was a strong and formidable figure, and now that he had escaped, he was like a ticking time bomb. It was crucial to locate him to prevent any harm to those around Ye Luo.
"It seems Young Master Ye’s strength is indeed formidable; even Poisonous Scorpion is no match for you. But Zhonghai is not just dominated by my family’s power. Relying solely on the forces at my disposal may not be easy to find this Poisonous Scorpion quickly. Of course, if I controlled all of Zhonghai’s underground forces, finding someone would be a piece of cake," Situ Luoyun spoke softly, her implication clear.
"You go and search for him first, I will think about this matter," Ye Luo replied, then hung up the phone.
In the villa, Situ Luoyun, after hanging up the phone, her luscious red lips curled into a seductive and charming smile, captivating all around her.
"Looks like I really have to take you down, you little fellow," Situ Luoyun murmured to herself as she picked up a glass of red wine, sipping it elegantly and gracefully.
