Tang San Raised His Knife and Took Yu Xiaogang's Kidney!
"Testify?"
"Testify to what?"
Gu Xuan looked utterly confused.
"The teacher has been poisoned too deeply. We can only stop the snake venom from spreading by removing this injured kidney of his."
Gu Xuan was already struggling to hold it in before Tang San had even finished the first half of his sentence.
Seemingly absentmindedly, he touched his nose before regaining control of his expression.
He had been studying the situation for ages, thinking Tang San might have some brilliant solution.
Instead, he was planning to take Yu Xiaogang's kidney.
This was some truly lethal filial piety toward Yu Xiaogang.
"I hope you can testify that I chose to do this in order to save my teacher."
"Of course. Go ahead!"
Gu Xuan agreed without hesitation.
He could hardly wait to see how Tang San would remove Yu Xiaogang's kidney.
Tang San nodded. In truth, he was extremely nervous right now.
Although the conditions were incredibly crude, he had no choice but to proceed this way.
If he delayed any longer, his teacher probably would not hold on.
I hope Teacher won't resent me after he wakes up.
Tang San first lit a bonfire, then took out the short sword that radiated a chilling aura.
He repeatedly heated the short sword over the fire until its blade gradually turned multicolored.
Once he judged the heat to be about right, Tang San tore off a piece of Yu Xiaogang's clothing.
He rolled it into a ball and shoved it directly into the latter's mouth.
Everything was ready.
Circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San gripped the short sword tightly in his right hand.
Cold sweat continuously beaded across his forehead.
His Purple Demon Eyes activated. He fixed his gaze on the location of Yu Xiaogang's right kidney and let out a long breath.
The next second, his right hand swung sharply, and the blade plunged down!
Squelch—!
The red-hot short sword easily pierced through flesh already corroded by snake venom.
Purplish-black blood immediately gushed out, carrying a thick, fishy stench.
Seeing this, Tang San sped up his movements again.
He took a deep breath. The sight before him was truly horrifying.
He had only cut halfway through the kidney when he nearly threw up.
It was fucking disgusting.
After steadying his breathing, Tang San raised his right arm and swung down again with all his strength.
Squelch—!
At last, beneath Tang San's swift and precise blade work, a black kidney completely corroded by snake venom was removed by Tang San.
Then, he scraped away all the flesh around the kidney that had been contaminated by the snake venom.
Even Tang San, who had long prepared himself for this, felt his heart tremble at the sight.
Puh—!
Just then, Yu Xiaogang, who had shown no movement for a long while, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Only then did Tang San notice that the blood Yu Xiaogang had vomited was also slightly black.
Moreover, he discovered black vapor drifting and swirling around his teacher's body.
This meant that some blood containing snake venom had already flowed through the meridians to every part of his body.
He had to force this poisoned blood out.
Tang San circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and used his inner force to seal Yu Xiaogang's four meridians.
Then, he slowly forced the toxins within the meridians toward the wound.
The poisoned blood gradually flowed out, and the black vapor emanating from his body slowly dispersed as well.
"Ah—!"
Without any warning, Yu Xiaogang suddenly let out a scream.
The pain on his face gradually faded, and the groans that had continuously escaped his lips came to a stop.
At the wound, the thick black blood gradually disappeared.
Fresh red blood had already begun to seep out.
The next second, crimson blood gushed out as if floodgates had opened.
This meant that the meridians had been completely cleared.
Seeing this, Tang San applied the medicine he had prepared beforehand to the wound.
With the continuous flow of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the bleeding was finally stopped after a quarter of an hour.
Tang San had been extremely cautious throughout the entire process.
If he mishandled it and the wound got infected, Yu Xiaogang would be done for.
"Damn, that's ruthless!"
Behind them, Gu Xuan couldn't help clicking his tongue.
Yu Xiaogang didn't even know what was happening, yet his beloved disciple had taken one of his kidneys.
He wondered whether Great Master would still be able to smile after waking up and learning that he was missing a kidney.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang, whose face was pale but had returned to normal, Tang San let out a long breath.
Then he collapsed onto the ground from exhaustion.
At the very least, the first step had succeeded.
Although he was also extremely weak, Tang San did not dare sleep for the entire night.
Gu Xuan naturally had no intention of looking after Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
He found a fallen tree trunk nearby and made do with it for the night.
After that, Yu Xiaogang remained unconscious for a full three days.
During that time, Gu Xuan and Tang San could only stay together in the Soul Hunting Forest.
"W-What happened to me?"
When Yu Xiaogang woke up, it was already noon on the fourth day.
He only felt so weak that he did not have the slightest bit of strength left. The world spun before his eyes.
Even lifting a hand took tremendous effort.
"Teacher, you're awake."
Tang San walked over at that moment.
Yu Xiaogang became a little more alert, and he suddenly recalled how he had collapsed after being poisoned.
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.
He tried moving his body, and a sharp pain immediately shot through his lower back.
The heart-wrenching agony made Yu Xiaogang grimace in pain.
Moreover, he felt weak to the absolute extreme.
Thud—!
At that moment, Tang San suddenly dropped to his knees beside Yu Xiaogang with a bang.
After knocking his head against the ground three times, he finally said through tears and snot, "Teacher, when I found you after waking up, the poison in your right kidney had gone too deep. It couldn't be saved anymore."
"To save your life, I could only make the decision on my own and remove your right kidney."
Tang San's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
"Gu Xuan can testify for me!"
At the end, Tang San looked toward Gu Xuan beside him with some agitation.
The latter nodded naturally.
"What Tang San said is true."
Boom—!
Yu Xiaogang's mind exploded.
A kidney had been removed!
The news struck his mind like a bolt from the blue.
How could he possibly accept something like this?
Would Yu Xiaogang still count as a man from now on?
After a quarter hour of silence, Yu Xiaogang finally accepted reality.
"Fine, fine."
"No matter what, you saved me."
"Once I recover a little, we'll leave this place."
Tang San nodded. The environment here was poor and highly unfavorable for wound recovery.
"I'm sorry, Teacher. This trip to the Soul Hunting Forest may end with us empty-handed."
Gu Xuan had told him two days ago that the Mandala Snake had been injured and fled.
Yu Xiaogang immediately understood what Tang San meant.
"In my current condition, I can't help you hunt a high-level spirit ring either. We can only settle for something less."
At those words, Tang San's eyes flashed, and he was clearly a little excited.
So that was what Teacher meant...
Yu Xiaogang continued, "Do you remember that nearly hundred-year-old Plant Spirit Beast I showed you before?"
Not far away, Gu Xuan froze upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's voice, nearly unable to keep it together.
A nearly hundred-year-old Plant Spirit Beast?
It couldn't be that Morning Glory, could it???
