Tang San: I Want to Start Over
Tang San didn't know how long he had been carrying Yu Xiaogang; he just felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.
He had been running all day, first rushing to Sunset Forest, then being chased by Soul Beast, then desperately fleeing while carrying the heavily injured Yu Xiaogang, and now being poisoned by Dugu Bo. At this moment, his condition could be described as quite bad.
Tang San's breathing became extremely rapid, his lungs felt like they were on fire, each inhalation brought a sharp pain, and his legs ached terribly, almost to the point of numbness.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang, who was on Tang San's back, couldn't help but let out painful moans. The sounds were intermittent and sounded quite weak.
"The San... my leg... my leg..."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's pained voice, Tang San felt a pang of helplessness and quickly offered words of comfort.
"Teacher, it's alright, it's alright!"
"Once I get to the city, I'll be able to find a good healing Soul Master... Teacher, please wait a little longer!"
As Tang San spoke, he dared not pause for a moment and continued running frantically forward.
The problem is... after running for so long, he still doesn't know which direction he's running in the right direction.
Sunset Forest was simply too vast, and this was Tang San's first time in such a place. He had no idea which way to go, so naturally he couldn't possibly run back to ask Dugu Bo for directions.
The longer Tang San ran, the more desperate he became. He had been running for over an hour, but still hadn't found a way out.
At this moment, Tang San's face also turned pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. The poison had begun to erode his body.
Although the poison had not yet fully manifested, Tang San was certain that what Dugu Bo said was absolutely true.
Dugu Bo is a seasoned poison master with a terrible temper. His Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, so he has absolutely no problem using poison.
If you cannot eliminate the toxins from your body by the next morning, you will experience excruciating pain.
Thinking of this, Tang San's heart was filled with anger again. What sins had he committed?
Tang San asked himself if he had ever killed anyone since he came to this world. Even though he often had thoughts of dying in his mind, he had never actually done so.
One shouldn't be burdened with any negative karma!
On what grounds?!
Why did I have to go through something like this?!
Why is it that when others find rare and precious treasures, they can just pick them up and call it a day, while I painstakingly traveled all this way only to find that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is someone else's herb garden?!
Behind every good thing you encounter lies layers upon layers of scheming and manipulation, all designed to make you wish you were dead and torment you relentlessly.
Tang San felt like he was about to collapse, he really was about to collapse.
If this endless torment continues, Tang San is really considering traveling to another world again.
He didn't want to stay in this wretched world for even a second longer.
Just then, Tang San stumbled and fell face-first to the ground.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Tang San crashed heavily to the ground, and Yu Xiaogang, who was on his back, was thrown off by the fall, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.
Both of them were lying on the ground in a rather disheveled state, their clothes covered in dust.
Seeing Tang San like this, Yu Xiaogang felt quite sorry for him. He gritted his teeth and then tried to comfort him.
"San... don't give up... you can get out... you will get out..."
"Everything will be alright once we get out of here..."
When Yu Xiaogang said this, he was actually quite unsure of himself.
He never imagined that the journey would be filled with so many disasters.
Back in Notting City, he was incredibly prestigious. As Grandmaster, he possessed profound theoretical knowledge and had even taken on Tang San as his prized disciple.
But what about now?
Everything became so terrible.
At this moment, Tang San was supporting himself on the ground with both hands, panting heavily, his eyes filled with despair. He had nothing left except for a teacher who shared his plight.
Just then, footsteps came from not far away.
Tang San looked up and saw a tall, thin old man standing not far away. The old man had black hair, a ruddy complexion, and looked very energetic, but he had a pair of sinister eyes.
He stood there looking at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, his sinister eyes sweeping over them before he raised an eyebrow slightly.
When Tang San saw the old man, he felt as if he had seen a savior and immediately shouted loudly.
"Senior! Senior, save me!"
"We've been poisoned! Please, senior, save us!"
Yu Xiaogang did the same, pleadingly shouting.
"Please, senior... save us..."
The old man looked at the two men's disheveled appearance in silence for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Since you begged me, I'll give you a hand."
"But I want to make it clear first that you need to remember to pay for the treatment."
As he spoke, the old man stepped forward and lifted the two men off the ground, one in each hand.
Then, as he walked in a certain direction, he continued speaking.
"I am Yang Wudi. I am not usually the kind of person who likes to save people, but I just happen to have some herbs on hand, and I thought I'd use you to test the effects of my herbs."
When Tang San and Yu Xiaogang heard this, they both nodded quickly.
Although the old man didn't seem like a good person, they had no choice but to trust him at this point, especially since they had no idea how to get out of the area.
Yang Wudi led the two men for a while until they arrived at a rather simple house.
The house looked quite old, with vines climbing the walls and a lot of medicinal herbs piled up at the entrance.
Yang Wudi led the two into the house, then had them sit on a wooden bed, and spoke in a calm voice.
"You all stay here quietly, I'm going out for a bit."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out, leaving Tang San and Yu Xiaogang sitting inside the house.
Tang San was about to say something when Yu Xiaogang reached out and grabbed his arm, then quickly spoke up.
"San, don't reveal your identity as a member of the Clear Sky Sect, or you'll get into big trouble."
Tang San was stunned by Yu Xiaogang's appearance, completely unaware of why Yu Xiaogang had said those words.
But Yu Xiaogang must have his reasons for saying that.
However... Tang San was filled with grief and indignation. Did Yang Wudi have some deep-seated grudge against the Clear Sky Sect? Was he in danger again?
