Tang San Severed Yu Xiaogang's Arm

Another hundred Sacrifice Points! Huo Feng roughly estimated that his Sacrifice Points should soon reach five hundred.

Once he saved up a thousand Sacrifice Points, he could exchange them for some decent items in the system shop.

The clearing before him was a complete mess, and the Mandala Snake's massive body had already vanished.

"Urgh..."

Suddenly, a weak sound came from not far away.

Huo Feng turned toward the sound and saw Yu Xiaogang's unconscious body twitch slightly twice.

But it seemed to be nothing more than an unconscious reflex.

"Waking up already?"

"So soon?"

Huo Feng was somewhat surprised. Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul had suffered severe damage, and Yu Xiaogang himself had been sacrificed by him.

He had thought Yu Xiaogang would remain unconscious a while longer.

From the looks of it, he would not need much more time before waking up.

With that in mind, Huo Feng flashed away from the place where the Mandala Snake had just rampaged.

He came to the Netherworld Wolf's corpse, smeared wolf blood mixed with dirt and leaves all over himself, especially on his face and chest.

He casually tore several rips into his shirt and trousers as well.

After that, Huo Feng found a patch of tall grass nearby and lay down directly within it.

Just by appearances alone, he looked even more seriously injured than Tang San.

"Little San!"

About a quarter of an hour later, Yu Xiaogang suddenly jolted awake as though from a nightmare, loudly calling Tang San's name.

Only after regaining his senses did he realize that he was lying face-down on the ground in an extremely strange position.

"Hiss—!"

The slightest movement immediately sent tearing pain through his entire body.

Night had fallen, and the surroundings were pitch-black.

For some reason, it was terrifyingly quiet. Not even a bird call could be heard.

Tang San and Huo Feng were nowhere to be seen.

Yu Xiaogang panicked at once.

Though he did not have much of a conscience, he still had a little.

If Huo Feng and Tang San had disappeared without explanation, he would have a hard time accounting for it to Notting Academy.

Those were two excellent experimental subjects for proving his invincible theory! Enduring the pain, he struggled to climb up from the ground and looked around.

"Ah—!"

However, a somewhat shrill scream suddenly rang out.

Yu Xiaogang, who had just gotten to his feet, suddenly toppled headfirst back onto the ground without warning.

His face had already begun to darken, while fine beads of sweat continuously emerged on his forehead.

Even more terrifyingly, Yu Xiaogang felt his limbs becoming somewhat stiff.

His entire right arm had somehow swollen to twice its original size, its color turning black and purple.

Poisoned! The Mandala Snake's deadly venom! "Gulp—!"

Yu Xiaogang swallowed with difficulty.

He suddenly recalled that, before he had fainted, Luo Sanpao had been bitten by the Mandala Snake.

The bite had landed on its right foreleg.

Because a Beast Martial Soul and its host were one, poisoning the Martial Soul was equivalent to poisoning him as well.

Yu Xiaogang circulated his Soul Power, and his face turned ashen, his eyes dim.

Because it had not been treated in time, his weak Soul Power could no longer suppress the Mandala Snake's powerful venom.

Worst of all, his consciousness was gradually growing hazy.

He could pass out again at any moment.

With the last trace of his muddled awareness, Yu Xiaogang tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and tied it around the base of his upper arm.

Meanwhile, lying in the grass, Huo Feng heard nothing at all.

The night breeze was gentle, and he happened to be asleep.

After a long while, Tang San awoke from his unconsciousness.

Upon discovering that he was still alive, he did not show much excitement. Instead, he immediately checked his physical condition.

Circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he examined his body inside and out.

In the end, he let out a long breath. Only two of his ribs were broken.

The rest were merely superficial injuries.

None were fatal.

Then, he proceeded to set his ribs with his bare hands.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill and Mystic Jade Hand activated together as he slapped his own chest with one palm.

Setting the two displaced ribs back into place.

He then picked up two branches and simply bound them to himself with strips of cloth to secure them.

Even with the Mysterious Heaven Skill's assistance, the intense pain nearly overwhelmed Tang San.

Right now, he felt incomparably weak.

"Te... Teacher!"

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's figure suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Tang San looked around and only then realized that he was no longer in the same place as before.

The Mandala Snake was nowhere to be found either. He shook his head, vaguely remembering taking a solid blow from the Mandala Snake's tail.

Then there was nothing after that.

Tang San staggered to his feet and anxiously looked around.

Purple Demon Eyes activated.

Soon, he saw Yu Xiaogang lying motionless on the ground.

"Teacher!"

Tang San's heart tightened.

He suddenly remembered that his teacher had already fallen unconscious before he fought the Mandala Snake.

Huo Feng had been beside his teacher at the time.

Now, Huo Feng was nowhere to be seen either.

He could not spare any thought for where Huo Feng was or whether he was dead or alive. Enduring the pain in his chest, he made his way to Yu Xiaogang's side.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Are you all right?"

Tang San called out, but received no response.

When his gaze fell upon Yu Xiaogang's face, his heart immediately clenched, and he nearly blurted out,

"Poison!"

Black energy shrouded Yu Xiaogang's entire face. His body was stiff, and he appeared to have completely lost consciousness and fallen into a coma.

His right arm was swollen three or four times larger than normal, a dead-looking purplish-black color.

"It's the Mandala Snake's venom."

Tang San's memories gradually returned, and he recalled Luo Sanpao being bitten by the Mandala Snake earlier.

It had been on the right foreleg.

A Beast Martial Soul and its host were one, so his teacher had been poisoned as well!

He reached out and felt Yu Xiaogang's pulse at his left wrist, then secretly sighed in relief.

Fortunately, a strip of cloth had been tied around the base of the upper arm. Otherwise, the venom would have already spread throughout his body.

Even a Titled Douluo would have been powerless to save him.

But the situation before him did not seem optimistic either.

Having been born into the Tang Sect in his previous life, Tang San knew quite well how to treat poison wounds.

However, because Yu Xiaogang had delayed for too long, the poison had completely penetrated his entire right arm.

Trying to simply force the poison out now was utterly impossible.

And now, there was only one solution: amputation!

To save his life, that arm had to go.

Tang San made his decision at once. The conditions were extremely crude, but this was the only thing he could do.

If he delayed any longer, Yu Xiaogang might not be able to hold on.

I hope Teacher won't resent me after he wakes up.

He first lit a bonfire, then took out the short sword that radiated a chill.

He repeatedly heated the short sword over the bonfire until its blade gradually turned scarlet.

Once he judged the heat to be about right, Tang San tore off a wad of Yu Xiaogang's clothing and stuffed it into the latter's mouth.

Everything was ready.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill and Mystic Jade Hand began circulating at the same time.

Tang San gripped the short sword tightly in his right hand, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead from nervousness.

Purple Demon Eyes activated as he fixed his gaze on the base of Yu Xiaogang's upper arm.

Gritting his teeth, he stomped his foot!

His right hand swung down fiercely, and the sword slashed down!
