But who was Li Ang? He was the founder of unrestricted combat in Douluo Dalu, the most dishonorable Titled Douluo in Douluo history. How could he possibly fight with an ordinary weapon?
Naturally, this dagger was no exception. In fact, this strangely shaped dagger had been crafted from the fangs of a Ten Thousand Year soul beast, the Black King Snake.
It already carried the venom of the Ten Thousand Year soul beast Black King Snake and had undergone special treatment. The entire dagger was incomparably poisonous. Even a Soul Master would be instantly poisoned if wounded by it and would kick the bucket in short order.
A low-level Soul Master like Dai Mubai, whose Soul Power was only in the thirties, naturally could not withstand the deadly venom on the dagger. The instant he was hit, he collapsed to the ground. His entire body visibly turned black, and a thick, fishy stench emanated from him.
Although Li Ang was now disguised as Zhu Zhuqing's personal elderly mentor, he had never forgotten his true objective.
His real purpose in infiltrating Shrek Academy was to rewrite the plot.
If he could eliminate one of the Shrek Seven Devils before they gathered, the extent to which the original plot changed would surely go off the charts.
Thus, using Zhu Zhuqing's hand, Li Ang dealt Dai Mubai a vicious blow.
Even among soul beasts, the Black King Snake was an extremely venomous existence. What was more, Li Ang had used the venom of a Ten Thousand Year Black King Snake.
Under normal circumstances, Soul Masters below the Soul Sage rank would completely kick the bucket within a few minutes of being poisoned. Soul Masters above the Soul Sage rank would not die so quickly, but their ability to move would still be affected to some extent.
Of course, although that strike had severely wounded Dai Mubai and left him on the verge of death,
Li Ang was still somewhat uneasy and was preparing to finish him off. However, he no longer had the chance.
Because in the next moment, Zhu Zhuqing regained control of her body, and her voice sounded beside Li Ang's ear. "Teacher, you hit him too hard. He won't die, will he?"
Although Li Ang could use the system's power to stir things up, he was likewise constrained by the system.
Strictly speaking, he could not directly and actively affect the original plot. At most, he could influence it through the characters in the original work.
Previously, he had been able to strike and severely wound Dai Mubai because of Zhu Zhuqing. After all, Zhu Zhuqing had been the one to act. What did that have to do with Li Ang?
But likewise, if Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to hand control of her body to Li Ang, Li Ang had no way to force her.
Thus, Zhu Zhuqing easily regained control of her body at this moment and looked worriedly at Dai Mubai, who lay on the ground.
It was not that Zhu Zhuqing had any feelings for that scumbag Dai Mubai. She was mainly worried that he might really kick the bucket.
If that happened, not only would she be unable to compete for the succession rights to the Star Luo Empire's throne, she would also be saddled with the charge of murdering a direct descendant of the Star Luo Empire's royal family. From then on, she could only flee for her life.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing seemed worried about Dai Mubai's condition, Li Ang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, disciple. Your master knows his limits. As for this Dai Mubai..."
Of course Li Ang knew his limits. Dai Mubai was definitely going to die now. However, Li Ang could not tell Zhu Zhuqing that outright, so he could only comfort the girl and stall for time, waiting for the snake venom to attack Dai Mubai's heart and finish him off completely.
However, Li Ang had still underestimated the Douluo World's plot-repairing power. Before he could even finish speaking,
A blue figure suddenly pounced over and scooped up Dai Mubai from the ground.
"Brother Dai, are you alright?" As Tang San anxiously called Dai Mubai's name, he hurriedly took out a waterskin and poured all the liquid inside into Dai Mubai's mouth. Then, he pulled the dagger from Dai Mubai's chest.
Very quickly, a miracle occurred. Dai Mubai, whose entire body had blackened and who reeked of a fishy stench, visibly began to recover.
In only a short while, Dai Mubai, who had clearly been on the verge of kicking the bucket, had actually recovered. Although he still looked somewhat weak, his life was at least no longer in danger.
"You woman, you're far too vicious!" Seeing Dai Mubai recover, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression toward Zhu Zhuqing immediately turned unfriendly.
"You actually used a dagger laced with snake venom to hurt someone. Good thing I always carry Realgar Wine, which can neutralize snake venom. Otherwise, Brother Dai would have been in real danger this time."
Li Ang: ???
Li Ang's mind was buzzing. What had Tang San just said? Realgar Wine could neutralize snake venom? The venom of a Ten Thousand Year Black King Snake? This was not scientific at all. It was utterly absurd!
When Li Ang had read the original work, he remembered Tang San using Realgar Wine to neutralize Dugu Yan's Azure Scaled Snake Venom and using realgar to suppress the Ten Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. Back then, Li Ang had merely found it funny and absurd.
But Li Ang had never expected something so outrageously absurd to actually happen right before his eyes.
After Tang San poured an entire waterskin of Realgar Wine into Dai Mubai, the snake venom in Dai Mubai's body was actually neutralized.
It was not as if Li Ang had never seen realgar before. Its pungent smell was indeed disliked by venomous snakes, and to some extent, it could be used to drive them away.
But it could neither truly harm venomous snakes nor neutralize poison.
For an ordinary person to think a bottle of Realgar Wine could restrain venomous snakes was simply wishful thinking. If the snake was really provoked, it would still bite them to death.
So for ordinary people to use Realgar Wine against venomous snakes was probably like challenging Fat Tiger one-on-one with a shovel.
As for why Tang San's Realgar Wine could neutralize the venom of a Ten Thousand Year soul beast, only heaven knew.
For a moment, Li Ang had nothing to say. All he could say was that the Protagonist Halo was damn impressive. Ordinary Realgar Wine could turn decay into magic in the protagonist's hands, even neutralizing the venom of a Ten Thousand Year Black King Snake. There really was no one else like him.
Just as Li Ang was sinking into self-doubt, Zhu Zhuqing spoke again. "Teacher, does Realgar Wine really have such miraculous effects?"
"Like hell it does!" Li Ang was utterly frustrated.
However, to maintain his persona, Li Ang quickly adjusted his state of mind and explained, "Didn't your master tell you? I showed mercy earlier. That brat was never in any real danger. As for realgar, it can indeed drive away snakes to a certain extent, but it has no detoxifying effect. The Realgar Wine in that little fellow Tang San's hands probably has something else added to it."
