Temptation

Luo Tianming's health condition is very bad.

Of course, this is the style of the Luo family. No matter how fast they wield their swords, how tight their body-refining techniques are, or how impenetrable their armor is, none of this can stop the Luo family from seizing every opportunity.

One needle breaks through the protective barrier, another injects poison.

When this ability backfires, it also means that the body is difficult to treat.

Luo Tianming has not been discharged from the hospital to this day, nor is he out of danger.

It's virtually impossible for a normal person to meet Luo Tianming.

Zhang Xuezhou had to contact Zhou Yueyan before he was allowed to join the team.

It has to be said, it feels great for our allies to have power.

When Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian were seriously injured, Professor Luo Hui went mad, and the Zhou Household, who possessed the ability to contend with the Sixth Sequence, once again stood at the forefront and temporarily assumed the highest command authority.

Normal people rarely see Luo Tianming, but this doesn't include Zhang Xuezhou.

"Luo Tianming hasn't spoken for half a month, and Luo Hui has been shouting incoherently for half a month since his heart transplant. It's just a pity for Gao Gao, who has to look in one direction and then in the other!"

Luo Tianming and the others were at the treatment center of the Elderly Mansion, which could draw on the best doctors in Western Capital City and had twenty medical teams stationed there to provide one-on-one service to the elderly high -Sequence Holder.

Of course, these medical teams mostly serve a comforting purpose and can't solve any real problems that arise.

For example, if Luo Tianming's body is infected with poison and ulcers, the best treatment is amputation.

When Zhang Xuezhou put on protective clothing and entered the medical room, he also saw Luo Tianming, who was missing a right leg and a right arm.

Like a limb specimen soaking in a container, most of Luo Tianming's body was submerged in a solution, with hundreds of tubes inserted into various parts of his body to deliver an unknown liquid, leaving only his head exposed.

The eyes on its head were lifeless, as if it had lost all attachment to anything and was quietly awaiting death.

The greatest source of confidence for high- Sequence Holder is their rank strength. When this strength is broken, it's like a billionaire going bankrupt and losing everything—a change that's hard to accept.

Some high- Sequence Holder only experience a reduction in strength after physical injuries, and may recover after resting. However, Luo Tianming's situation is beyond saving.

Compared to the doctor, Luo Tianming knew more about Luo Hui's poisoned needles.

Because he knew all too well, Luo Tianming knew his fate.

After recalling everything from his life, Luo Tianming realized there was nothing left for him to cherish.

No one dared to end his life. Even Luo Tianming, who was still mentally sound, couldn't end his own life. Right now, he could only quietly wait to die.

"Committee Member Luo?"

The slightly familiar voice came, but Luo Tianming didn't even blink.

Even if ten acquaintances came, it wouldn't make a difference, let alone one.

He wouldn't like to be seen in this state by those he knows.

The words of regret and pity from these acquaintances will not be of any use, and Luo Tianming does not need anyone's sympathy. He is even less likely to indulge in these feelings of regret.

The victor is king, the loser is villain; victory is victory, and defeat is defeat. Luo Tianming needs to admit his defeat, and at his age, losing isn't too much of a pity, considering he's already very old and doesn't have many more years to live.

For Luo Tianming, his mentality had collapsed, and no one could save him. He did not want to live a miserable life like Luo Zhong.

I'll be waiting for you up ahead!

Everyone has to die; he just died a few years earlier.

He didn't even look the visitor in the eye, only making indistinct sounds as a response.

"It's such a waste to amputate that leg and arm!"

As expected, a voice of regret came, but Luo Tianming felt nothing.

He had lived for ninety-two years and had heard all sorts of things; such voices had no effect on him and could hardly shake his mind in the slightest.

But after hearing one more sentence, the other person's voice became a little more familiar to him.

"Who on earth is responsible for this heavy metal toxin? Even constant body rinsing with serum can't remove it; relying on medical means to eliminate it is far too difficult!"

After muttering to himself for a while, Luo Tianming finally remembered that he had met an insignificant little person in his life.

The other person was hardly mentioned among the important figures in his memoirs, but Luo Tianming had to admit that the other person did leave a mark on his life in his later years.

After thinking it over and over, all Luo Tianming could remember was the other person's mouth.

In his interactions with Zhang Xuezhou, it seemed that the other party only ever used his mouth, even when he was dueling with Luo Hui to the death.

The four shots that decided the outcome were fired by Song Sijia. The opponent only moved his mouth again, giving them another bad example. He even missed the mark when shooting, causing both Song Sijia and Luo Hui to misjudge the situation.

If Luo Tianming had encountered Zhang Xuezhou when he was in good health, he felt that, given his past temper, he would have spat at Zhang Xuezhou before leaving.

In summary, this is Luo Tianming's impression of Zhang Xuezhou.

The people who came to visit him were not the old folks from the old mansion, but young people who could still live for decades, which made Luo Tianming even less interested.

"Speaking of which, we've developed a Gene Fighting Technique that removes toxins from the body. It's quite effective; at a high level, you can eat arsenic like candy. It should also be able to remove heavy metal toxins from the blood..."

"Really?"

Luo Tianming had no interest in Zhang Xuezhou, even though the latter had helped him in his duel with Luo Hui.

But when Zhang Xuezhou started rambling on, Luo Tianming couldn't help but ask.

His current predicament stems from the fact that the blood poison has invaded his body and is difficult to eliminate, causing Luo Tianming to lose hope in life.

Modern medicine proved ineffective, and Luo Tianming gave up on the idea of survival. He never expected that Zhang Xuezhou had somehow developed some kind of Gene Fighting Technique.

Ordinary Gene Fighting Technique are one thing, but professional detoxification is something Luo Tianming has never heard of before.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that arsenic could be eaten like candy, a detoxifying ability that Luo Tianming had never heard of before.

"Is this alpha-cesium-137 a metallic poison? Can I try a couple of bites?"

"Zhang Xuezhou, are you crazy? You dare to drink like that? Do you think you're one of us?!"

Perhaps Luo Tianming's voice was too low to elicit a response, while the sounds of arguing could be heard.

Luo Tianming raised his head for the first time and saw Zhang Xuezhou take a container from the separator, frown, and take a sip.

The solution in the container was a separation of his blood, containing the heavy metal α-cesium-137.

This heavy metal solution can cause rapid poisoning when it enters the bloodstream, and it can also cause permanent toxic damage to the body if it enters the esophagus.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou gulp down a mouthful, even Luo Tianming couldn't help but be surprised.

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't faked drinking in front of him, that sip would have been poison.

"This stuff doesn't really have a smell, but knowing where it comes from can be a bit disgusting!"

Luo Tianming only saw Zhang Xuezhou mutter something.

But when a few drops of pale pink liquid began to appear on Zhang Xuezhou's palms and nose, Luo Tianming's expression changed drastically.

In a short period of time, the heavy metal solution that Zhang Xuezhou had drunk was excreted directly through the pores of the other person's body.

Without using any instruments, the other person completed the detoxification process in a short period of time using only their body.
