Fear surged over Tang San like an icy tide, instantly drowning every limb and bone in his body.
Cold sweat slid down his temples, soaking his robes. His eyes were wide as he stared fixedly at the dark green miasma swirling around him and the bizarre poisonous creatures flickering in and out of sight within it—things he had never even seen before!
He had always prided himself on being one of the Tang Sect's foremost poison experts, yet before Dugu Luo's poison arts, he was like an ignorant illiterate, not even qualified to distinguish them.
Seeing the terror twisting Tang San's face, Dugu Luo slowly curled her lips into a faint smile.
