death of hope

Chapter 824: Wild Growth (240) Poison-eating Gu

Several Sanwangkai leaders hurried into the venue with serious faces, and walked quickly towards the VIP seats. One of them bent down and whispered to Kondo Isao:
"Boss, someone broke into the venue."

"What? Didn't we just send Sada?"

"We found many people lying in the lobby and corridors. They were Sada and his followers..."

"what?!"

Kondo Isao was shocked and said, "There were dozens of people! Were they all killed just like that?!"

"No, no one is dead. They just fainted for no apparent reason. No matter how we shook them, they wouldn't wake up. We sent more people to patrol the various passages in the venue, but we haven't found any trace of the intruder yet."

"Sneaking in secretly and not killing anyone..." Kondo Isao frowned, his face full of confusion: "What on earth is that guy going to do?"

"Mr. Kondo," the senator beside him asked with a smile, "Is there anything going on?"

"Nothing... Nothing. A thief broke in and stole something..."

Kondo Isao didn't want to lose face in front of an important person, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Don't worry, I've sent someone to arrest him."

"Since it's nothing serious, let's continue watching the competition. The winner will be decided soon. Don't miss the exciting moments~"

"Yes, yes, it's no big deal. Let's continue watching and do what we need to do." Kondo Isao smiled, his nose covered with sweat.

The senator was no fool, of course she noticed something was wrong, but she was surrounded by two top-level cyborgs and numerous mercenaries protecting her, so her own safety was not a concern and she did not take it too seriously.

Kondo Isao whispered to the leader, "Send more people to catch the intruder, dead or alive. I don't want to lose face in front of the senator and the city's underworld representatives, you know!"

The leaders hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, boss!" Then they left the venue with their subordinates.

·
At the Sannokai, Toru Yamagami also saw that more than half of the hundreds of Kyokushin members gathered in the venue suddenly left and hurried into the passage. He realized that something was wrong:
"What happened?"

“I don’t know,” Ah Lin waved his hand;
"Perhaps, other gangs will take advantage of the fact that the Kyokushin Group members are gathered here and their defenses are weak to attack their stores or casinos."

Tetsuya nodded: "If that's the case, that would be great..."

Chen Xing didn't notice the movement of the Kyokushin team at all. His attention was focused on the field. He clenched his fists and cheered for his sister:

"Okay! Just use the flash bomb! Blind that old damn dog's eyes!"

On the field, Chen Hong had already thrown five flash bombs, each of which temporarily blinded Tang Zhennan for a few seconds.

Tang Zhennan used his sharp sword skills to protect the vital parts of his body, and she aimed at the places that could not be protected and threw ice picks or hidden weapons, just hoping to cut and draw blood, because the blades of these weapons were all poisoned.

When Chen Hong threw the sixth flashbang and cut the opponent's foot with an ice pick, she reached for the tactical bag again, but it was empty. The flashbangs had been used up.

The props that she relied on to build her advantage were gone, and Chen Hong panicked a little, thinking;

(Strange, why hasn’t the toxicity taken effect yet?

He had been cut in many places, and the venom had been in the blood circulation for several minutes. Tang should have fallen to the ground, twitching and dying, but how come he was still alive and well...)
Seeing that the assassin stopped throwing props, Tang Zhennan stopped dancing with the sword and taunted:

"Keep throwing your toys, kid, are you out of them?"

"You should be dead, old man."

"Ha, what a joke, you want to kill someone with your mouth~" Tang Zhennan looked at the green poison on the blade of the ice pick in the assassin's hand and laughed, "You're playing with poison in front of me, right? You're showing off your skills in front of an expert!"

·
On the sidelines, Chen Xing was also wondering: "Sister Hong is a master at making poisons. The weapons she has concentrated on are top-notch and powerful. They are enough to kill that old man a hundred times a thousand. How could it not work? This is strange..."

Chen Xing's doubts were soon answered. He used the electronic eyepiece to observe a detail: a few strange little bugs crawled out of the wound where Tang Zhennan was cut by the ice pick.

These insects are constantly secreting some kind of mucus, as if they are trying to stick to the broken skin.

"What?!" Chen Hong also found the bug.

On the sidelines of the field, the Chen brothers and sisters exclaimed almost at the same time: "Fairy insect!"

"Fairy insect? What is that?" Tetsuya asked.

Chen Xing, who was so frightened that his face turned pale, said, "Master told us that it was a secret method passed down by the Tang Clan, a high-level witchcraft.
The founder of the Tang Sect, Tang Tianci, brought them back to the Central Plains from the miasma-ridden area of ​​the Miao border in the southwest. "As Chen Xing spoke, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, and his voice became trembling:
"Generally, Gu techniques use jars to raise Gu, but the 'Fairy Insect' uses its own body to raise Gu.

After the eggs are implanted, medication must be taken daily, and they will hatch in 4416 days.
The insect feeds on poison, and one needs to pour poisonous water into the bathtub and soak in it every day. If the practitioner can survive for 9981 days, it is considered a success.

This technique is extremely dangerous. Most practitioners cannot survive the first week. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a 100% chance of survival.

There are only two people who have mastered this technique in history. One is the inventor of this technique, the Miao female village leader and Gu technique master Ge Sang Liao.
The second person was Tang Tianci, the founder of the Tang Sect who brought this technique to the Central Plains. Since then, there has been no successful case of practicing it for hundreds of years, and more than ten thousand people have died.

And Tang Zhennan was the third one who succeeded.

This is why Sister Hong's poison didn't work, and those 'fairy insects' ate them as food...

Not only can practitioners be immune to poisons, these fairy insects coexist with the human body, which can delay aging and strengthen the body. This is why Tang Zhennan can still have a youthful face and walk briskly at the age of 80.
Some half-baked alchemists stuffed the eggs into pills, called them "immortal pills" and sold them at high prices. In history, many emperors, generals, wealthy people and merchants took the risk of swallowing them in order to achieve immortality, but ended up with festering all over their bodies and dying.

Therefore, in addition to the name "fairy insect", some historians also called it "poisonous insect".

Actually, I always thought that Tang Zhennan's strength was exaggerated, but now it seems...

Sister Hong is in great danger." Chen Xing sighed.

·
While they were talking, the two men fought for more than twenty rounds.

Tang Zhennan only used the Tang Sect's original swordsmanship, while Chen Hong used many strange moves and unique skills from various sects. However, without the help of props, he was unable to shake the opponent's defense.

Kondo Toranosuke laughed: "That girl from the Sannokai is dead!"

Kondo Isao was worried about the situation outside the stadium, hoping that the game would end soon so that he could go over and take a look. He shouted to the inside of the stadium in an upset tone:

"Mr. Tang! I'm not giving you a lot of money just to watch you act like a fool! Kill her right now! I'll give you a 30% bonus!"

“The boss is awesome~”

Tang Zhennan smiled and said, "Now, the start-up funds for the revival of the Tang Sect will increase again, so I have to borrow the girl's head~"

"What are you so proud of! You are the one who is going to die! Tang!"

Chen Hong was angry that the other party did not take her seriously, so she scattered a handful of caltrops on the ground and threw out seven darts in succession, blocking the ground and the top at the same time, and at the same time, two ice axes attacked the middle.

"Stop resisting, kid~"

With the help of the Gu worm's power, Tang Zhennan leaped up to a height of more than two meters. He quickly turned his wrist and used the "Full Moon" move to knock down all the incoming darts.
It landed lightly outside the range of the caltrops, and then a "waning moon" cut off two optical camouflage fibers.
Without the fiber optic connection, Chen Hong was unable to retrieve the ice axe she had thrown, and was left with nothing to do...
