"You poisoned me!"
Liu Canglan's mind shook violently as he let out a thunderous roar.

No wonder his true qi became more sluggish the longer he fought, while his meridians grew increasingly sore and swollen.
From beginning to end, this youth had never been merely defending and enduring!
With every touch of their palm winds, every clash of force.
The other party had used the opportunity of close-quarters entanglement to silently send colorless, formless poison into his body.
