Rebellious Brats

Overthrowing one's superiors, committing monstrous acts of treason, betraying one's master and destroying one's lineage...

As Zhang Xuezhou dealt with Hongku, wild and daring thoughts raced through his mind.

He was certain that if Wu Chao had been in the house, he would have launched a sneak attack already. Zhang Xuezhou's slight hesitation was only because he lacked the ability.

But a tremendous opportunity had appeared before him, one that might come only once in a thousand years.

As Zhang Xuezhou reached out, the bottle of Water of Eternity hidden in his sleeve involuntarily poured into the wooden bucket. He even stirred the water with a dipper.

"If your skills fall short, you can't blame anyone else!"

Hongku vigorously slapped the powder that stung his skin, responding to Zhang Xuezhou's earlier words.

He took the dipper Zhang Xuezhou handed him and poured a dipperful of water over his head.

When Zhang Xuezhou handed him a second dipperful, he wiped his burning face, then took a large mouthful of water to rinse his mouth.

What could Hongku say about such a sudden accident? He was the one who had called Zhang Xuezhou in and ordered him to demonstrate his flying leap. No one had expected him to drop something while leaping.

It was perfectly normal for an incantation master to carry some strange things. Zhang Xuezhou's Soul-Severing Powder was child's play. If Hongku rummaged through his storage pouch, he could pull out twenty-eight different things for harming people, Soul-Severing Powder among them.

Hongku was all too familiar with this junk.

Though Soul-Severing Powder appeared to rot the skin, most of the powder on one's body could be removed by dry patting. A rinse with clean water afterward would take care of the problem perfectly.

Wiping, licking, or rinsing it off directly
