Swallowing Poison, Arriving in Time!
In the Original Novel, Yao Chuanshan had also intended to make a move against Little Fairy Doctor and seize the cultivation technique and other treasures she had obtained in the cave.
However, his initial methods had been relatively gentle. He had merely placed Little Fairy Doctor under house arrest, using both threats and inducements, which had also given her time to poison Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.
Now that he had received the news of Little Fairy Doctor's departure too suddenly, Yao Chuanshan had no preparations and could only choose to act by force.
This caught Little Fairy Doctor off guard instead.
Yao Chuanshan had quite a few guards under his command, but Little Fairy Doctor had only a limited supply of poison powder on hand. After poisoning more than a dozen guards from Ten Thousand Medicines Hall in succession,
Little Fairy Doctor ran out of poison powder and had no choice but to engage the remaining guards in close combat.
Unfortunately, Little Fairy Doctor had cultivated the Seven-Colored Poison Classic for too short a time. She was merely a Dou Zhe, and in close combat, she was no match for Yao Chuanshan's guards.
Yao Chuanshan smiled from the side. "Little Fairy Doctor, as long as you obediently stop resisting, hand over the Spiritual Medicine and cultivation techniques you've obtained these past days, and cure everyone of their poison, I guarantee that I won't harm you in the slightest. If you truly wish to leave, I won't stop you either."
"Dream on!"
Little Fairy Doctor responded coldly, then suddenly retreated sharply into the room.
Yao Chuanshan and his men had been guarding the doorway. They had not expected Little Fairy Doctor to retreat instead of rushing out, and for a moment, they failed to stop her.
After retreating into the room, Little Fairy Doctor directly took out a jet-black Spiritual Medicine from beside the bed. Without the slightest hesitation, she chewed it into pieces and swallowed it.
Yao Chuanshan frowned slightly. "Little Fairy Doctor, do you think swallowing a single Spiritual Medicine will let you turn things around? I refuse to believe there is any Spiritual Medicine that can make your cultivation soar instantly."
Little Fairy Doctor remained expressionless and did not respond to Yao Chuanshan. She merely spoke coldly to the people from Ten Thousand Medicines Hall at the doorway. "If you're not afraid of dying, then try to stop me."
With that, Little Fairy Doctor picked up a bundle and walked toward the door.
At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor's lips had turned black. Not only her lips, but her entire face and every part of her body exposed to the air had turned black as well. She clearly looked like someone poisoned beyond measure!
Without question, the herb Little Fairy Doctor had just consumed was poisonous, and a poison of no low grade at that.
This was a method Little Fairy Doctor had learned from the Seven-Colored Poison Classic to temporarily increase her strength. This poison could not only enhance her power, but turn her entire body into a poison vessel. Anyone who came into contact with her would have the poison transmitted to them!
Only the Woeful Poison Body could use such a method.
Moreover, Little Fairy Doctor was not feeling well either. She felt as though the powerful, poisonous energy filling her meridians was about to burst them apart. The sensation of her body being eroded by deadly poison was far from pleasant.
"Putting on an act! Attack together, and try not to make physical contact with her!"
Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's appearance, Yao Chuanshan suddenly felt a bad premonition. However, he did not reveal it on his face and instead shouted at the remaining guards.
Upon hearing this, the guards of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall launched another attack on Little Fairy Doctor.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, however, they were no longer Little Fairy Doctor's match. A series of dull impacts rang out, and the last few guards Yao Chuanshan had brought to stop Little Fairy Doctor were all sent flying by her.
What alarmed Yao Chuanshan even more was that the moment they landed, their bodies began to blacken. Soon, they died from the poison!
Yao Chuanshan's expression changed drastically. He had not expected Little Fairy Doctor's strength to increase so much, nor that even her casual attacks would carry deadly poison!
For the sake of his own life, Yao Chuanshan did not approach Little Fairy Doctor. He took out a long saber from his Storage Ring, held it across his body, and said coldly:
"I didn't expect the poison you just consumed to be so potent. I'm afraid even you won't be able to endure it for long, will you?"
Little Fairy Doctor said coldly, "Before that happens, I can kill you first!"
Yao Chuanshan gave a sinister chuckle. "I don't believe it."
After that, Yao Chuanshan merely blocked Little Fairy Doctor from the side without taking the initiative to attack. Whenever Little Fairy Doctor tried to leave, he would unleash Dou Qi attacks with his long saber.
Several times, Little Fairy Doctor nearly struck Yao Chuanshan, but he directly used the guards who had previously been knocked unconscious as human shields, making them take her attacks for him.
Gradually, the poison in Little Fairy Doctor's body flared up more and more fiercely, and her body was beginning to fail her.
Although Little Fairy Doctor could raise her strength by consuming poison, at her current stage, she could only take poisons of relatively low grade. The poison she had just consumed had already exceeded her limit.
If she could calm herself and use the method recorded in the Seven-Colored Poison Classic to refine and absorb the poison, it would have been manageable.
Unfortunately, she had no chance to refine that poison now. Its powerful toxicity was constantly destroying Little Fairy Doctor's body. Even with her Woeful Poison Body, she was close to being unable to bear it any longer.
"Mister Yao, it seems your Ten Thousand Medicines Hall isn't much after all!"
At that moment, Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, appeared in the sight of Little Fairy Doctor and Mister Yao with a group of Wolf Head Mercenary Group members.
When Little Fairy Doctor saw the Wolf Head Mercenary Group arrive and heard Mu She's words, a trace of despair immediately rose in her heart.
If it had only been Yao Chuanshan, she might still have had a chance to break out.
But now that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had joined them, she was likely doomed tonight!
At that moment, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly thought of Xiao Fan. She wondered whether he might occasionally remember her in the future.
When Yao Chuanshan saw the Wolf Head Mercenary Group arrive, his expression changed slightly as well. "Shouldn't you be dealing with that Xiao fellow? What are you doing at Ten Thousand Medicines Hall?"
Ten Thousand Medicines Hall had already suffered heavy losses. If the Wolf Head Mercenary Group decided to take advantage of the situation, it would truly be dangerous for him.
Hearing Yao Chuanshan's words, Little Fairy Doctor could not help revealing a mocking look. With this rabble, they wanted to deal with Young Master Xiao? They truly did not know the meaning of death!
Mu She said blandly, "I had originally planned to wait until Ten Thousand Medicines Hall captured Little Fairy Doctor, then join Mister Yao in capturing that Xiao fellow. I never expected Ten Thousand Medicines Hall to be so pathetic. What a disappointment."
"I heard you were looking for me?"
Just then, an eerie voice suddenly sounded beside everyone's ears.
As the voice fell, Xiao Fan's figure silently appeared before them.
Seeing Xiao Fan arrive, Little Fairy Doctor was immediately invigorated, and a sense of relief welled up within her.
Mu She and Yao Chuanshan, however, both changed expression slightly and looked at Xiao Fan warily.
They had not sensed any aura at all before Xiao Fan suddenly appeared. This made them deeply wary of his strength.
"Can you still hold on?"
Xiao Fan walked to Little Fairy Doctor's side. Seeing that something was wrong with her condition, he asked with concern.
"I..."
Little Fairy Doctor had only managed to utter one word when her vision went black, and her body suddenly toppled forward.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan quickly reached out to support Little Fairy Doctor.
"Don't touch me. I'm poisoned," Little Fairy Doctor said. Seeing Xiao Fan reach out to support her, she somehow found a burst of strength and hurriedly straightened herself, taking a step back at the same time.
"Don't worry. This little poison can't do anything to me." Xiao Fan smiled faintly and still reached out to support Little Fairy Doctor by the shoulder.
"Die!"
At that moment, a gloomy voice rang out, and a longsword suddenly stabbed toward Xiao Fan's back!
