Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Situation Reversed_1

Yano Luo spoke as he spread his arms wide, like a bird spreading its wings. His hands, too, were revealed to everyone’s sight: extremely skinny, as if there was nothing but a layer of skin over his finger bones.

Then, everyone saw various kinds of venomous insects—spiders and scorpions—crawling out of his voluminous black cloak.

Feeling the presence of strangers, these disgusting creatures began to scurry towards the group in dense clusters.

The eight members of the Sun Family at the forefront, led by Sun Lihua, involuntarily paused. Even though they didn’t suffer from claustrophobia, they still felt extremely uncomfortable and somewhat apprehensive.

“Hmph!” Chang Muxin let out a cold snort, clapped his hands forward, and launched a fierce gust of wind. It blew directly at the approaching swarm, scattering many of the venomous insects.

With the insect tactic foiled, Chang Muxin moved lightly and whispered to Sun Lihua, “Li Hua, fall back. This person is very strong. You’ll only suffer losses by going forward. Let me handle this.”

Grateful, Sun Lihua responded with a shiver in his heart, not daring to show off. After all, they hadn’t even gotten close to Yano Luo and were already about to be devoured by his insects.

He became alert, knowing that with his cultivation in the Body Tempering Realm, he couldn’t participate in a battle of this level; it would be nothing but a senseless death. He then shouted, leading the seven protectors of the Qingyun Sect to disperse, yet still maintaining an encircling formation.

Seeing his venomous insects blown away by the Sun Family’s expert, Yano Luo remained indifferent and calm, with his hands behind his back, standing proudly as if in no hurry to attack.

Sun Jin’an had stepped forward with a solemn expression. He stared at Yano Luo, not daring to be careless. “Mr. Chang, let’s deal with him together.”

“Good,” Chang Muxin replied, not completely confident himself.

“Hehe… Sun Jin’an, prepare to die,” Yano Luo sneered viciously when he saw Sun Jin’an advancing and took the initiative to strike head-on.

All three had eschewed weapons and were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, tangling in an instant. The sounds of fierce fighting echoed back and forth.

Driven back by the intense energy of the three’s combat, Sun Lihua and his group retreated again and again, a full ten meters before they could steady themselves. Meanwhile, Autumn Pig and Wild Bull took the opportunity to enter the restroom and emerged with Goat, whose eyes were blinded and vocal cords shattered.

Though Goat had lost much blood, he was still alive, but from then on he was disabled, effectively ruined.

Yano Luo continued to battle fiercely on the field, fighting four hands with his two fists. At first, the battle was equally matched, but as it went on, his strength began to flag, and he showed signs of exhaustion, which led to erroneous moves and defensive lapses, allowing Chang Muxin to land several palm strikes.

Seeing this, both Sun Jin’an and Chang Muxin’s confidence surged, and they silently launched a ferocious offensive.

“Yano Luo, today you are surely going to die!”

Chang Muxin opened his mouth and let out a thunderous shout, his fists lashing out like a raging storm, hitting Yano Luo repeatedly without pause.

This was Chang Muxin’s ultimate move, tremendously fierce.

Yano Luo, on instinct, tried to back away, but his opponent pressed close, not giving an inch, fully entangling his movements. Yano Luo had no choice but to raise his guard and endure the assault.

Bang, bang, bang, bang~

The two exchanged rapid and fierce strikes, and in the blink of an eye, they had clashed more than a dozen times.

The intent behind Chang Muxin’s punches was relentless, with each subsequent punch adding force to the last, making the power of the strikes grow even larger.

Barely managing to block about ten punches, Yano Luo utterly failed to defend himself, exposing an opening and receiving a punch from Chang Muxin. Instantly, his body flew backwards like a busted sack, slamming to the ground with a heavy thud, his aura dissipating, breath sinking.

Having gained the upper hand, Chang Muxin himself was also spent, his face reddened and his stance unstable. This move had greatly drained his True Qi, and he had forced it out through gritted teeth.

“Mr. Chang, are you alright?”

Sun Jin’an rushed to support him, asking with concern.

Chang Muxin took a deep breath, suppressing the somewhat turbulent True Qi inside him, looked at Yano Luo, and said, “Elder Sun, I’m fine. Let’s finish this villain first.”

Sun Jin’an glanced at Yano Luo and moved to strike.

Unexpectedly, Yano Luo sprung up from the ground with a fish-like flip and stood steadily.

Seeing Chang Muxin being supported by Sun Jin’an, Yano Luo felt a sudden surge of confidence, his mouth twisted into a strange smile, and he let out a sinister laugh, “Thinking of killing me, huh… seems like you fail to see the situation clearly. I should be the one to kill you.”

Sun Jin’an and Chang Muxin immediately felt an ominous premonition, sensing something peculiar in his words.

“Are you joking?” Chang Muxin intentionally probed.

“How ridiculous… Better look at your hand,” Yano Luo said with a cold, mocking laugh.

Chang Muxin involuntarily looked at his right wrist and noticed a black line that had appeared at some point, stretching from the base of his palm toward his elbow.

“Mr. Chang, this…” Sun Jin’an also noticed and his face suddenly changed color.

Yano Luo taunted, “Sun Jin’an, you’d better take care of yourself.”

Sun Jin’an’s heart skipped a beat, and with a focused gaze, he looked at his own wrist to see a similar black line, but his situation seemed worse; the black line had already crossed his elbow to his upper arm.

His cultivation was weaker than Chang Muxin’s by far, so he was even less able to suppress it.

“You poisoned us with Gu?” Sun Jin’an realized what was happening.

“That’s right,” Yano Luo said, erupting in a chilling laugh, his expression sinister, “I only intended to afflict him with Gu, but you went to help him, saving me a lot of effort.”

By this time, Chang Muxin had already begun redirecting his True Qi to seal off the blood vessels in his right arm, angrily glaring at Yano Luo and bellowing, “Despicable scum!”

Yano Luo, as if it were only natural, retorted, “I went through great trials to learn the art of Miao Gu to deal with you all. Should I use mere words to take my revenge instead of Gu? It’s laughable to blame others for your own stupidity.”

“Grandpa, are you alright?”

Seeing the turn of events, Sun Lihua feared another twist and prepared to step forward, blade in hand, to protect him.

While Sun Jin’an was channelizing True Qi to block the onset of the Gu poison, he instructed, “Lihua, quickly inform Xu Fan.”

“Grandpa, let me kill him first,” Sun Lihua, not reassured, was ready to lead people to rush forward and hack Yano Luo to death.

Sun Jin’an’s gaze darkened as he turned and angrily shouted, “Lihua, are you not listening to me now? Right now, we’ve managed to contain the Gu poison and can still hold on; if you don’t want your grandpa to die, then quickly inform Xu Fan. If he arrives in time, perhaps we can still survive.”

“But…”

“What are you dawdling for, get going!”

Sun Jin’an’s eyes blazed with fury, hating the dithering at such a critical moment the most.

Then, looking at Chang Muxin, he managed a wry smile, “Mr. Chang, you can’t blame me for this, right?”

Chang Muxin laughed heartily without a care, “If it weren’t for Chennong saving me, I’d already be a pile of bones by now. Moreover, it’s not yet decided whose game it is to win.”

Seeing this, Sun Lihua dared not delay any longer, turned, and ran, while taking out his cell phone.

“Hmph, think you can run? No way!” Yano Luo snorted coldly and quickened his steps to follow.

“Do you think we don’t exist?” Chang Muxin and Sun Jin’an blocked his path.

“Hmph, courting death, do you really think blocking the Gu poison will help? Your use of True Qi will only make it act faster,” Yano Luo scoffed.

“We have enough to deal with you before we die,” the two men exchanged a look and then resolutely charged at Yano Luo.

Of course, their goal was more to entangle him; thus, they didn’t use their full strength, only fighting with their left hands.

“Fine, I’ll let you go first,” Yano Luo didn’t fuss, using his full power in the fierce battle.

This time, Yano Luo had the upper hand, constantly pressing the two men.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Sun Jin’an and Chang Muxin struggled desperately, their complexions growing increasingly grim because the black lines on their right hands continued to extend. While slow, as long as it reached their hearts, they would undoubtedly die.

In his anxiety, Sun Lihua dialed the phone.

“Come on, please pick up quickly!”
