Who Can Hold Out Longer!

Sub-Gang Leader Shi Boyu returned to the Sub-Gang Base and sat in the hall without saying a word.

Zhong Desong got into trouble, which made Shi Boyu very upset.

The second leader lost another leader, which made him feel somewhat ashamed in front of the Hall Master.

But it was just annoyance; Shi Boyu wasn't really angry. These leaders on his list would be eliminated sooner or later.

Red Staff has been making trouble for Xiang Guicheng right now; this guy deserves to die.

Xunfeng Du Hongxi was no better than Xiang Guicheng; the man was already dead.

On the surface, the sage Zhong Desong remained calm and composed, but when recommending talents, he never consulted with Shi Boyu, which shows that he did not take the Sub-Gang Leader seriously.

Even his trusted confidant Sun Xiaoan was not trusted by Shi Boyu. Every time he saw Sun Xiaoan puffing on his hookah, Shi Boyu could not guess what he was thinking.

These people have all been poisoned by Shi Boyu's slow-acting poison. Those who obey will live a few more years, while those who disobey will soon be on their way.

But Zhong Desong's sudden accident puzzled Shi Boyu.

The Xianle Dance Hall was bombed. Jiang Xiangbang, the leader of the Medicine King Hall, believed that neither Yu Nan nor Qin Tianjiu were responsible.

This matter involves someone else, and this person's skills and cunning are far beyond what Yu Nan and Qin Tianjiu can match.

Following the Hall Master's instructions, Shi Boyu immediately calmed things down and secretly investigated clues about the murderer.

According to the Hall Master's prediction, the murderer will soon let his guard down and reveal his true colors.

As it turned out, the other party didn't give anything away and immediately pulled out a knife.

Before the murderer could even make a move, Zhong Desong was the first to run into trouble.

They disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead. Was this all done by the same person?

Why would this person target Zhong Desong? Is he out of his mind?

Where can this person go now?

Are you still in Inner Gully?

How can I find him?

While pondering, Shi Boyu suddenly felt a wave of stuffiness and ordered his subordinate Xiao Mo (the Sub-Gang Leader's henchman) to open the window.

A little boy came to the window, stretched out his hand, but couldn't touch the window.

He dared not speak, but could only struggle to push against the invisible wall.

Shi Boyu looked impatiently towards the window, where a Sub-Gang Leader of the gang was scolding, "I asked you to open a window, and you've gone through all this trouble. Can't you do anything else...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Da Jiu suddenly noticed a patch of water under his feet.

"What kind of water is this...?"

One of the children sniffed the aroma and exclaimed, "This is tea! This is Old Zhong's secret weapon!"

Shi Boyu had never seen Lao Zhong's magic weapon; he had only heard Sun Xiaoan mention it.

This magic weapon is extremely powerful. Zhong Desong once used it to kill a cultivator at the third level and severely injure a cultivator at the fourth level. Obviously, it cannot be used to fight head-on.

Shi Boyu hurriedly shouted, "Quick, let's go outside and hide!"

Upon hearing this, his men did not move.

Shi Boyu roared, "Are you all deaf?!"

Just as he was about to leave the hall, an invisible wall blocked his way at the door. Startled, he heard a servant behind him say, "Sub-Gang Leader, he's trapped by Old Zhong's magic weapon. He can't get out... this..."

Halfway through his sentence, Xiao Mo let out a wail and immediately jumped onto the table, where the scalding tea had burned his foot.

More than a dozen subordinates wailed in pain, some jumping onto the sofa, others onto the table.

Shi Boyu was a bit slow and was pulled onto the table by two of his subordinates, leaving blisters on his feet.

Li Banfeng squatted on the roof beam, feeling that the situation was somewhat strange.

According to Steward Feng, Shi Boyu was a former Red Staff a high-ranking official in the Communist Party) who took over as the Sub-Gang Leader of Medicine King Gully.

Why is Shi Boyu's fighting skill so poor, even though he's supposed to be beaten with Red Staff?

Is it because my cultivation level is too low?

Shi Boyu's cultivation level is not low; he is a third-level cultivator.

However, he was not a martial arts practitioner, Travel Cultivator, or body practitioner—he was a third-level poison practitioner.

Shi Boyu stood on the table and shouted, "Does anyone know how to break this magic weapon?"

Da Jiu shouted, "Find the person using the teapot, snatch it from them, and stop him from touching it, otherwise there's no way to break the spell!"

Sun Xiaoan had told Shi Boyu about the solution, but Shi Boyu couldn't remember it in his haste.

Upon hearing Da Jiu's words, Shi Boyu remembered, but where was the teapot?

It's definitely in the enemy's hands.

Where is the enemy?

Shi Boyu didn't know!

"Pillar, listen to what's going on!"

Shi Boyu has a personal bodyguard named Kou Zhu, who is a first-level cultivator.

Kou Zhu listened for a long time but heard no sound.

Li Banfeng was a second-floor House Cultivator, thanks to his often-overlooked talent for House Cultivator, managed to evade Kou Zhu's Wind-Following Ears.

The water was rising higher and higher, and the disciple who was standing on the sofa had his feet scalded.

A disciple fell into the tea amidst cries of agony. After struggling for a moment, his skin and flesh tore off, and he fell silent in the blink of an eye.

The water was about to reach the edge of the table. Da Jiu initially tried to protect the Sub-Gang Leader Shi Boyu, but seeing that Shi Boyu couldn't think of a way to escape, he could only think of himself first.

First, a layer of red, spotted hard shell appeared on Da Jiu's back, and then two black wings sprouted from under the shell.

Buzz!

Da Jiu transformed into a ladybug, lifted its feet off the ground, and flew away.

He can protect himself; he won't die.

Unless Li Banfeng keeps letting the water level rise until it floods the roof.

You should know that the person using the teapot is also trapped in a confined space. If the water level keeps rising, Li Banfeng scald himself to death.

Da Jiu looked down at the pillar that had already been scalded to death and the Sub-Gang Leader was about to be scalded to death.

The Sub-Gang Leader is dead, so he will definitely be implicated.

But no matter what kind of entanglement it causes, it's better than being scalded to death here.

If all else fails, just run away; every extra day counts.

"Ah~~" Kou Zhu let out a wail and died in the hot water.

Da Jiu let out a sigh, and then felt his wings growing heavier and heavier.

He can no longer fly.

Why can't it fly anymore?

Da Jiu focused his attention on the Sub-Gang Leader.

The Sub-Gang Leader, Shi Boyu, is releasing poison.

To find the teapot, you must first find the person who had it.

If they can't find the person who brought the teapot, they poison that person.

Shi Boyu's tactics are very clear.

But if he releases poison, it will kill everyone in this house.

Does it matter?

It wasn't important to Shi Boyu.

The lives of other people have never been important to him.

Whoosh~

A few sounds came from the roof.

When Shi Boyu looked up, Shi Boyu saw a woman with flamboyant makeup, dressed in men's clothes, squatting on the roof beam.

Yu Nan?

Is it really her?

This is not Yu Nan, this is Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng, who had been squatting on the roof beam, could no longer hold on and almost fell down.

He was poisoned; the third level of poison cultivation techniques nearly made Li Banfeng lose consciousness.

He used his Travel Cultivator skills to squat on the roof beam with difficulty, still kneading the kettle.

Li Banfeng's idea was clear: at this point, it was a matter of seeing who could outlast him and Shi Boyu.

The kettle was still spraying water, the water level in the room was still rising, and the scalding tea had submerged the table and seeped into Shi Boyu's shoes.

Despite the excruciating pain, Shi Boyu ordered Da Jiu to kill the woman on the roof beam.

Da Jiu's face turned greenish-blue. He glanced at Li Banfeng, then suddenly stopped flapping his wings and plunged headfirst into the tea.

Those House Cultivator are resistant to toxins. Li Banfeng, a second-level House Cultivator, is able to resist them with such difficulty. Da Jiu, who is only a first-level body cultivator, could hardly withstand it.

Seeing Da Jiu land at his feet, Shi Boyu scooped him out of the hot water with one hand, placed him on the table, and then stepped on Da Jiu to buy himself some time.

Li Banfeng pulled out a pair of bloodstained scissors from his waist and threw them at Shi Boyu.

This is a weapon with a spirit; as long as the shot isn't too off-target, it can sever Shi Boyu's head.

Shi Boyu pulled another body out of the water and held it up in front of him.

The scissors cut off the corpse's head, which then fell into the hot tea along with the head.

This is the difference between weapons with a spirit and magical artifacts.

Cutting off a person's head completes the mission; the scissors don't care whose head it is.

Shi Boyu sprayed a mouthful of poisonous mist at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng leaped and dodged on the roof beams, but soon realized that dodging was pointless.

The magical artifact was still operating, and within the small space beneath the invisible wall, the poisonous mist quickly spread.

The feeling of being poisoned on Bitter Mist Mountain is back: dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, and impaired coordination...

Li Banfeng dared not move again; he could fall off the roof beam at any moment.

How did you survive on Bitter Mist Mountain back then?

He didn't make it through.

When this situation arose, Li Banfeng couldn't take it anymore and went straight back to his Portable Abode.

Not only him, but many people besides Little Fatty couldn't endure it.

Little Fatty...

Oh, right, Little Fatty's blood!

There was Xiao Pang's blood in the pendulum. Li Banfeng twisted the pendulum and drank the blood directly.

With his dizziness significantly relieved, Li Banfeng vigorously stroked the teapot.

The water level continued to rise, submerging Da Jiu's body. Shi Boyu dragged over another corpse, placed it under his feet, and continued to release poison at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng then drank the blood, but this time the effect was not so obvious.

Little Fatty is a first-level cultivator specializing in Food Cultivator. His blood can strengthen the body, but it cannot remove toxins.

There is a huge gap between the first and third levels; the speed at which the body is strengthened is far slower than the speed at which the toxins corrode it.

Shi Boyu kept scooping up the surrounding corpses and piling them up under his feet. The pile of corpses grew higher and higher, and the structure swayed a bit.

Seeing Shi Boyu staggering, Li Banfeng tried to get close and kick him into the water.

A stream of green liquid seeped from Shi Boyu's body, flowing down to his feet and spreading along the corpse.

The corpses seemed to have grown a layer of glue, sticking together tightly.

What kind of tactic is this?

Should I Water Cultivator it?

Li Banfeng was shocked.

This wasn't Water Cultivator; it was Shi Boyu's venom that corroded the corpse, causing the flesh and bones to stick together.

Despite the dire situation, Shi Boyu, a veteran of countless battles, still managed to devise a countermeasure.

The venom is far more potent than the poisonous fog. If Li Banfeng dares to get close, even a tiny bit of the venom will kill him instantly.

Just as Li Banfeng finished drinking the blood from the pendulum, Shi Boyu retrieved the last corpse he could reach.

Li Banfeng's face was pale and green; he couldn't hold on any longer.

Shi Boyu smiled; he had won.

Seeing the speed at which the water level was rising, Shi Boyu was convinced that the glamorous woman would fall from the roof beam before the water level submerged the last corpse.

Once this person dies, the magic weapon will naturally lose its effectiveness.

"If you don't want to burn yourself, put the teapot away. It'll be too late to regret it when you fall." Shi Boyu smiled at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng didn't put the kettle away; he threw it into the water.

Shi Boyu was taken aback, not understanding what Li Banfeng was going to do.

His gaze was fixed on the teapot, and he wished he could retrieve it immediately.

Li Banfeng took the opportunity to take out the key and returned to Portable Abode.

The teapot was too far away for Shi Boyu to reach.

He looked up and found that Li Banfeng was gone.

Where did it go? How did it disappear?

Shi Boyu looked down at his feet; the water level was still rising.

Didn't the teapot fall into the water?

The teapot did indeed fall into the water, but it would take five or six minutes for the water to stop flowing; this was a characteristic of this magical item.

Shi Boyu cried out desperately, "Help! Someone help! Is anyone here? Quick! Bring me the teapot, quick!"

He was a key member of Jiang Xiang Gang's gang. In his early thirties, he rose to the third level and became the Sub-Gang Leader, with a promising future ahead of him.

He enjoyed the deep trust of the Hall Master and believed that he would surely achieve great things in Medicine King Gully.

The boiling tea submerged the corpse, even reaching its feet.

Unable to bear the excruciating pain, Shi Boyu jumped up.

With that jump, the corpses stuck together beneath his feet collapsed.

Shi Boyu fell into the boiling tea.

The pain was unimaginable; Shi Boyu felt as if he had fallen into a pool of molten iron.

With his three layers of strength, he struggled to swim towards the table, and the moment he touched the table, the skin and flesh on his hands all peeled off.

If you can catch that person on the roof beam, you're sure to become famous.

If I can catch the Outer State guy the Gang Leader is looking for, I can definitely become the Hall Master.

I'm destined to be the head of the Hall Master, how can I just leave like this...

Shi Boyu lost consciousness in the boiling water.

Li Banfeng was vomiting repeatedly in his Portable Abode.

P. S.: Saturday morning is so beautiful, dear readers, have a chat with Salad.
