Jiang Xuezhun pulled Xu Hao beside Elder Jiang, speaking hurriedly, "Xu Hao, what I just said still stands. As long as you cure my grandfather, I'll be your woman!"
Xu Hao touched his nose sowhat sheepishly, "Miss Jiang, please don't make things more complicated! I am a married man!" As he spoke, Xu Hao glanced over at Liu Ruyan.
Jiang Xuezhun's lips curved into a slight smile, "Oh, are you afraid Ruyan will criticize you? You don't need to worry about that, I'll talk to her!"
"..." Xu Hao, sowhat speechless, patted his forehead, wondering what was going on in Jiang Xuezhun's mind. "Let's not talk about that for now, we need to save him!"
Xu Hao glanced at Lei Qianjue beside him, "Mr. Lei, watch carefully."
The next mont, a faint floating light appeared in Xu Hao's hand as dark energy rapidly patted down several tis on Elder Jiang's body. The floating light of dark energy followed Xu Hao's arm into the elder's body, and the silver needles originally embedded in the elder suddenly ca to life.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
They shot out from the elder's body in an instant, while Xu Hao's hands moved swiftly, casting shadows in the air, gathering all the silver needles back into his hand in less than a second.
This scene left Jiang Xuezhun with her eyes nearly popping out. Lei Qianjue's eyebrows also twitched, thinking to himself that this Young Master Xu really had so tricks up his sleeve.
Standing beside Elder Jiang, the secretary Su Chen flashed a look of irritation, but this expression was fleeting.
Logically, Su Chen should have been very pleased that Xu Hao was helping to save Elder Jiang at this ti. The reason behind Su Chen's expression was unknown, but Xu Hao, focusing on the treatnt, didn't notice the secretary's subtle intentions.
With silver needles in hand, Xu Hao applied the thods that erged in his mind, channelling dark energy into the needles. Driven by the dark energy, the needles trembled violently, emitting a faint moan in the air. Most impressive was a faint floating light on the tip of the needles, twinkling like a bead with a weak glow.
Upon seeing Xu Hao's actions, Lei Qianjue couldn't help but exclaim, "Is that Guigu's Thirteen Needles? Mr. Xu, you..." Lei Qianjue cut himself off mid-sentence. Guigu's Thirteen Needles had been lost for a long ti and were considered the most legendary of dical techniques.
Lei Qianjue had been searching for information in this area and never expected to witness the revival of Guigu's Thirteen Needles in his lifeti.
Xu Hao did not respond to Lei Qianjue, but instead spoke lightly, "Mr. Lei, using the Taiyi Eight Needles to expel the poisonous gu won't work. Only Guigu's Thirteen Needles can do it. Look at the first needle, Guanyin's Tears, targeting Danzhong, Phoenix Pool... The second needle, Great Compassion Buddha's Sorrow, to protect the heart ridian... The third needle, Salvation of All Beings..."
While administering the needles, Xu Hao explained to Lei Qianjue. In less than thirty seconds, Xu Hao had inserted all the silver needles into Elder Jiang's acupoints, but the formation and thod were entirely different from Lei Qianjue's earlier attempt.
With a corresponding set of treatnt thods in mind, Xu Hao diagnosed the situation with ease. The dark energy penetrated into Elder Jiang from the silver needles, surging inside the elder's body, and the poisonous gu were gradually forced to the surface by Xu Hao's needles.
Under the skin of each of Elder Jiang's fingertips, a rice grain-sized black insect wriggled, attempting to escape.
However, Xu Hao had already sealed off the ridians in Elder Jiang's arms with the silver needles, so no matter how much the poisonous gu tried to jump, they could only scurry around the back of the hand.
As the Qi Force and floating light continued to flow through the silver needles, Elder Jiang's breath gradually stabilized, and his complexion turned rosy.
"Alright, the situation is mostly under control now," Xu Hao said quietly. Jiang Xuezhun and the others nearby sighed in relief but still worried, "Is he really okay now?"
Xu Hao nodded, "There should be no threat to his life now, but to completely remove the poisonous gu from Elder Jiang's body, we need one last step!" Xu Hao called out to a few doctors in white coats, "Do you have a scalpel?"
The doctors nodded and hurriedly handed over a sterilized scalpel to Xu Hao.
Xu Hao grasped Elder Jiang's hand and, with a swift motion of the scalpel, made a small cut on each of the elder's ten fingertips.
The cuts weren't deep, just enough to break the skin.
Once Elder Jiang's skin was pierced, a stream of black blood erged from under the skin, and the next mont, rice grain-sized black insects crawled out from the wounds.
It was the Life Devouring Gu!
As the Life Devouring Gu crawled out from the wounds, they moved swiftly, escaping more than a foot away from the fingertips in just the blink of an eye.
But Xu Hao had forced them out, surely having a thod to subdue them. His hand flicked out the last silver needle with lightning speed, and with several swift pierces, he skewered all five fleeing poisonous gu like threading kebabs. Spot an error? Visit the original post on M&VLEMPY&R.
The insects writhed violently, trying to break free from the silver needles, but to no avail.
On the other arm, Xu Hao caught only four of the poisonous gu. The remaining gu insect was rely flicked onto the table with dark energy, and then trapped under a glass cup placed on the table.
The guests surrounding the scene recoiled several steps at the sight of such terrifying insects capable of devouring essence blood in Elder Jiang's body.
Upon seeing that Xu Hao didn't imdiately kill the remaining poisonous gu but simply covered it on the table, Secretary Su Chen exclaid, "Young Master Xu, what do you an by this? If the poisonous gu enters the body, it can kill a person, just kill it quickly!"
