Capítulo 1967: Chapter 1967: I Lost (5)
Although this was the case, Ba Kang still stuffed two antidote pills into himself, then waited for the poison to take effect.
A quarter of an hour later, it was Yang Ruxin who furrowed her brows, then said she needed to go to the lavatory.
Ba Kang felt nothing at all, and his heart began to relax slowly, thinking perhaps his antidote was working.
When Yang Ruxin returned from the lavatory, Ba Kang stood up, intending to proceed to the next item, but suddenly his face turned pale, and he bent over. Why was his stomach hurting so much?
“My dicine pill takes a quarter of an hour from onset to death,” Yang Ruxin approached Ba Kang, “I’m not underestimating you, but even with another ten years of practice, you won’t be able to neutralize it. If you don’t want to die, you can admit defeat, and I can give you the antidote…”
“Impossible.” Ba Kang started to check his own pulse, but felt nothing, and even stuffed the antidote he brought into his mouth.
“It’s useless.” Yang Ruxin spread his hands helplessly.
Ti was slipping away, and Ba Kang’s stomach pain grew worse to the point where he was rolling on the ground.
Jin Mai stood up abruptly. Ba Kang was the most famous Poison Doctor in Yuan Country, yet he lost in the first round? What a massive blow!
“You still have a little ti to regret it,” Yang Ruxin sighed, “If… if you miss this chance, even the Gods wouldn’t be able to save you, so…”
“Give the antidote, I surrender…” Ba Kang suddenly shouted, “I surrender!”
Yang Ruxin looked at Emperor Xuanjing: “Emperor…”
“Give it to him,” Emperor Xuanjing nodded with a smile, “We, the people of Daxuan Country, are all kind and compassionate.”
Yang Ruxin winced, kind and compassionate? That didn’t seem like the right word, but there was no ti to dwell on it, so he took out a dicine pill and tossed it over.
Ba Kang, in pain, could not catch the pill steadily. It fell to the ground, and his hand was too weak to pick it up. In desperation, he knelt and crawled on the ground, licking the antidote into his mouth…
This action caused the people of Xuan Country to smile, while Jin Mai’s entourage all changed their expressions.
At first, Ba Kang was really confident in himself. He could even neutralize deadly poisons like cadmium sulfide that kill upon contact. His body was conditioned regularly with dications, so he was practically invulnerable to poisons. Yet, this single pill left him helpless.
What distressed him even more was that when facing Yang Ruxin, he had actually tried to poison her, but it had no effect. He then realized that she was the truly invulnerable one. He had underestimated her.
After swallowing the pill, he still held a glimr of hope, but…
Who isn’t afraid of death?
When his stomach pain beca unbearable, his fear peaked, and he understood clearly that dying honorably was not as good as living ignobly.
So, when there was a real chance to survive, any pride or dignity was thrown out the window.
Once the antidote was taken, miraculously, the pain quickly disappeared.
Although the sha returned at this point, sadly he no longer had any capital for defiance.
“Do you still want to compete?” Yang Ruxin looked at Ba Kang.
“Divine Doctor, I lost.” Ba Kang spoke sincerely, then withdrew under Jin Mai’s murderous gaze.
