998: Chapter 991: Are We Going to Lose Again This Year?
The driver from the Heavenly Alliance, upon hearing the promise from Poison Venerable Hua Guikun, had his eyes filled with resolute determination.
He took the brand new poison from Hua Guikun—a shade of blue laced with black, and without hesitation, he poured a small bottle of poison into his mouth.
This driver was one of the lower-level mbers of the Heavenly Alliance, and his lifeti was hopeless in breaking through level ten Soul Force.
If his death could exchange for a lifeti of glory and wealth for his family, he was willing.
That was the sorrow of being insignificant.
On the other side, a young man walked out from the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance crowd, his na was Zhang Shuo, and he appeared to be in his late twenties.
He looked up at a young woman in the crowd of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, who was holding a toddler about two or three years old.
The young woman’s eyes were filled with tears, and she was tightly biting her lips, trying to remain as calm as possible.
That young woman was Zhang Shuo’s wife.
Watching his wife and child, he swallowed nervously.
The Obliterate Heavenly Alliance had also guaranteed that if he died in the dical competition, his family would be taken care of for life by the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance.
Seeing that the Heavenly Alliance’s driver had already drunk the poison, Zhang Shuo also took the blue-black poison from Jiang Weidong’s hands.
Before he gulped down a small bottle of poison, he showed a tender smile to the young woman in the crowd of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance.
It was decided by lottery who would take the poison, and Zhang Shuo’s strength today was all thanks to what the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance had given him.
After taking a deep breath, he too poured the poison into his mouth.
And from the crowd of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, the young woman holding the toddler, upon seeing Zhang Shuo’s gentle smile, already had tears streaming down her face, her delicate body slightly trembling.
Ye Chenfeng witnessed this entire scene; he silently sighed in his heart.
The dical competition between the Heavenly Alliance and the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance was all too cruel.
However, he understood this was reality, only the weak would have their fate controlled by others.
Hence, Ye Chenfeng had been desperately increasing his strength in these past few years; otherwise, he would have already beco a lost soul in the hands of others.
In the center of Nourishnt Villa’s square, two stretchers were placed, surrounded by a complete arrangent of dical herbs provided for the competitors.
After the Heavenly Alliance’s driver and Obliterate Heavenly Alliance’s Zhang Shuo had ingested the poison, they each lay on a stretcher, with Hua Guikun and Jiang Weidong each walking up to one.
Yan Tianjue, the son of the Hierarch of Heavenly Alliance, always had a calm smile on his face.
He said to Ma Liangcai, an Emperor Level Middle Stage expert beside him, “Uncle Ma, after we win this dical competition against the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, I think our Heavenly Alliance might also make a big move, right?
The day when our Heavenly Alliance swallows the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance shouldn’t be far, should it?”
The Emperor Level expert of the Heavenly Alliance, Ma Liangcai, nodded and said, “The Obliterate Heavenly Alliance has already been defeated three tis in a row in the dical competitions, and it can be said that their cultivation resources have been greatly reduced.
After we win this competition, the Hierarch should be able to completely take over the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance within a year.”
While Yan Tianjue and Ma Liangcai were talking, the new mixed poison also slowly started to take effect inside the bodies of the truck driver and Zhang Shuo.
Initially, lying on the stretcher, Zhang Shuo hadn’t felt any discomfort.
However, as ti passed little by little, he felt the temperature inside his body continuously dropping, as if his insides were filled with ice, making his body start to shiver.
On the other side, the reaction of the Heavenly Alliance’s driver and Zhang Shuo was almost the sa.
The leaders of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, Jiang Weidong, and the Heavenly Alliance’s Poison Venerable Hua Guikun, upon seeing the reaction of the poison, imdiately started to examine the bodies of Zhang Shuo and the driver.
First and foremost, they had to determine the properties of the poison.
But plans can’t keep up with changes.
As Jiang Weidong and Hua Guikun just began their examination, the bodily reactions of Zhang Shuo and the driver changed again.
Initially, Zhang Shuo’s blood inside felt like it was about to freeze, and then suddenly, the icy sensation inside him completely disappeared, replaced by a gradually rising heat.
In an instant, his body felt as if it was engulfed by a blazing fire.
After this drastic change of ice and fire, Zhang Shuo and the driver’s eyes dimd slightly, their bodies tightly curling up on the stretchers, their clothes and pants already soaked with sweat.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, Lin Kangsheng, had his eyebrows tightly furrowed together.
After years of overt and covert struggles with the Heavenly Alliance, he and Shen Jingwu felt increasingly powerless.
They knew that if the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance was defeated again, it might truly be the end for the entire Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, and this was sothing they could not avert.
Standing beside Lin Kangsheng, Lin Xinyi, Shen Mingxuan, and others all displayed worried expressions on their faces.
They knew that this ti, the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance truly couldn’t afford to lose.
The cold and stunning Lin Xinyi looked in the direction of Jiang Weidong, her fists tightly clenched.
Yet, Ye Chenfeng maintained a calm deanor on his face.
His proficiency in dical skills was quite profound.
Traditional dicine emphasized inspection, listening, questioning, and palpation.
After observing the symptoms of Zhang Shuo and the truck driver, he had so hypotheses about the poison in their bodies.
If he were to treat Zhang Shuo, he was ninety percent confident he could thoroughly remove the toxins from his body.
However, Ye Chenfeng did not plan to take action yet.
Firstly, he did not want to get involved in this storm; secondly, even if he did get involved, he would not benefit at all; thirdly, he was waiting for an opportunity to seize the vast cultivation resources of the Heavenly Alliance for himself.
Ti passed by second by second.
About three minutes later.
Jiang Weidong of Obliterate Heavenly Alliance and Poison Venerable Hua Guikun of Heavenly Alliance also had dense beads of sweat on their foreheads.
They had not yet determined the properties of the poison inside Zhang Shuo and the truck driver.
After experiencing extre cold and heat, the icy and burning sensations inside the bodies of Zhang Shuo and the truck driver had disappeared.
What followed was a pain so intense they felt like biting their tongues off imdiately.
Both felt as if ants were gnawing on their internal organs, and every bone in their bodies seed to be drilled into with an electric drill.
Their complexions also began to slowly darken.
Seeing that Zhang Shuo and the truck driver were getting deeper into poisoning, Jiang Weidong of Obliterate Heavenly Alliance knew he couldn’t hesitate any longer.
He directly unbuttoned Zhang Shuo’s shirt and was shocked to see a black line slowly moving from his abdon towards his heart.
Jiang Weidong knew that once this black line reached Zhang Shuo’s heart, Zhang Shuo would definitely be beyond saving, but he still had no clue about the properties of this mixed poison and did not know where to start.
After contemplating for two seconds, Jiang Weidong took out an acupuncture kit from his pocket.
He planned to use acupuncture to stop the black line from reaching Zhang Shuo’s heart.
After simply disinfecting the silver needles, Jiang Weidong fluently inserted five of them into Zhang Shuo’s chest.
But an accident occurred.
Jiang Weidong’s acupuncture not only failed to stop the black line, it actually accelerated its progress.
The black line violently moved into Zhang Shuo’s heart, and witnessing this, Jiang Weidong was montarily stunned.
“Phew!”
And while Jiang Weidong was stunned, Zhang Shuo lying on the stretcher suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood directly onto Jiang Weidong’s face.
After spitting out the black blood, Zhang Shuo’s breath grew weaker and weaker, seeming as if it could cease at any mont.
Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin Kangsheng of Obliterate Heavenly Alliance saw Zhang Shuo’s dying state and his body slightly trembled, his facial expression instantly becoming complicated.
He muttered to himself, “Could it be, could it be that we are destined to lose again this year?
Is fate truly forgetting our Obliterate Heavenly Alliance?”
