Eternal Sword

Chapter 310 The Final Killing
As the man died, the smoke gradually dissipated.

Chen Tang had just been groping his way forward along the street in the smoke. Now, looking around, he found that he had hardly changed his position and was actually going around in circles.

On the ground around him, several strange stones occupied special positions, forming a simple formation.

This kind of formation would be completely useless under normal circumstances.

But combined with thick smoke and obstructed vision, people will be trapped in the smoke for a long time and unable to escape.

Chen Tang kicked the stones away with a few random kicks.

Then, without any warning, he swung his sword towards a doorpost nearby!

The sword flashed!
The doorpost broke with a sound.

At the same time, a shadow separated from the doorpost, leaving behind a cloud of blood mist, and fled into the distance with astonishing speed!
The shadow who made the initial attack missed the target, so he hoped for luck and did not flee far away. Instead, he lay in ambush nearby, waiting for an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tang saw through his actions and revealed his true form with one strike of his sword.

The shadow rushed into the alley next to it, and the whole person suddenly drilled into the ground and quickly disappeared.

Chen Tang chased after him for two steps, but seemed to have thought of something. After a moment's hesitation, he gave up.

He held a long knife and walked towards the roast goose shop with a cold look in his eyes.

The crowd that was trapped in the smoke just now dispersed.

When the roast goose shop owner saw Chen Tang's unfriendly and murderous look, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, freezing in place.

"Could that boss be a murderer?"

"Impossible. If the poisonous hand was so easy to expose, it would have been discovered long ago."

"I guess the murderer has already taken advantage of the chaos and escaped."

Many people nearby were looking over here and talking in low voices.

When he was about to arrive at the shop, Chen Tang passed by the woman who had just been poisoned. Without any warning, he suddenly raised his hand and slashed at the woman's throat with a knife!
Chen Tang's action made everyone stunned and confused.

What deep hatred is there that won’t let go of a dead body?
Immediately afterwards, the corpse with a blue-black face rolled on the ground, avoiding Chen Tang's blade and fleeing into the distance!

Everyone was shocked.

The woman actually came back to life!

"Still trying to escape!"

Chen Tang's eyes lit up, he stepped forward quickly, and immediately entered the state of divine illumination.

The sword flashed.

No one saw clearly how Chen Tang made his move.

No one could see clearly where the knife was aimed at or what kind of knife technique was used.

All everyone knew was that after the knife flashed, Chen Tang stopped.

He stood where he was, just looking at the fleeing woman with an indifferent expression. He ran forward a few steps before he realized something. He staggered and stood still.

The woman turned around slowly, the dark blue poison on her face still hadn't disappeared, she just looked at Chen Tang in disbelief.

"How did you find out?"

The woman opened her mouth and asked.

Chen Tang said calmly: "Just tested it out."

The woman smiled.

The next moment, everyone saw a streak of blood suddenly seeping out of her chest.

puff!
While the woman was vomiting blood, a stream of blood spurted out from her chest!
The knife that Chen Tang just swung seemed to cross space, piercing the woman's vest and then being retracted.

The woman fell on her back.

The onlookers were still in shock and confusion, not knowing what was going on. Suddenly, countless poisonous insects, including spiders, scorpions, and venomous snakes, crawled out of the woman's clothes. It was so dense that it made people's scalps numb!
Everyone dispersed to avoid these poisonous insects.

It’s hard to imagine that so many poisonous insects are hiding in one person!
Then, everyone recalled the conversation between Chen Tang and the woman, looked at each other, and seemed to understand something.

"Poisonous hand."

"She is a murderer..."

“I didn’t expect that the murderer was an ordinary middle-aged woman.”

"Not necessarily. This face may not be the true face of the murderer."

There was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

Before long, the poisonous insects around dispersed and soon disappeared.

The crowd gathered again.

In fact, Chen Tang noticed something was wrong with the woman after she roared like a lion.

Under the shock of the lion's roar, a corpse lying on the ground actually felt a slight heartbeat in its body, and then it quickly subsided!
Even in the midst of the battle, Chen Tang still did not let go of this detail. He quickly thought of a possibility.

In addition to the owner of the roast goose shop who had contact with lotus leaves, another person was the woman who had been "poisoned to death".

Normally, the person who poisons someone must be a living person, not a dead person.

This is a blind spot in thinking.

Of course, this is not enough to prove Chen Tang's guess.

His first strike was also a test.

If the woman was really a dead body, it would not matter if I chopped off the head with a knife.

If she is not a dead body, then she is a murderer.

Chen Tang found a dozen hidden coins on the evil ghost in the smoke, and with a calm expression, he came to the roast goose shop, woke up the boss who was still in shock, bought two more roast geese, and packed them up to take away.

Everything that just happened seemed to have never happened.

It didn't affect Chen Tang's mood at all to buy roast goose.

Chen Tang took the roast goose and went home.

Not long after I walked out, I saw the blind fortune teller.

Chen Tang couldn't help but feel moved.

When he came out today, he gave the blind fortune teller a hidden coin as usual.

The blind fortune teller replied with the word "Li".

This kind of back-and-forth conversation between the two has become a habit in the past few days.

Chen Tang didn't take it seriously and just said hello as usual when meeting him.

Seeing the blind fortune teller at this moment, I couldn't help but recall his words.

Li is one of the three evil spirits, but his danger level is not high.

In fact, the blind fortune teller had already given him a reminder.

The blind fortune teller raised his head, faced Chen Tang, and asked, "Aren't you curious about the true appearance of the poisonous hand?"

There were many people walking around, and their footsteps were chaotic, but the blind fortune teller could always find Chen Tang quickly in the crowd.

"curious."

Chen Tang glanced back and said calmly, "But it's not necessary."

He didn't even touch the poisoner's body because he didn't want to take the risk.

Many people gathered around the poisoner's body.

"The poisoner must have worn a human skin mask."

"That's natural. As hermits, we all know how to disguise ourselves."

Everyone gathered around and watched, but no one stepped forward.

"I want to see whether the murderer is a man or a woman."

Someone sneered and stepped forward.

This person was quite careful. He stretched out his hidden knife and carefully picked up a human skin mask along the edge of Du Shou's cheek!
Under the woman's mask is the face of a middle-aged man.

"No, this is still a human skin mask." Someone said with a frown.

The man was about to step forward and lift the second layer of human skin mask. The mask of the middle-aged man was exposed to the air and bubbles suddenly appeared.

The poisonous hand's entire face burst into flames out of thin air, filled with billowing green smoke!

When the people around smelled the green smoke, their faces suddenly changed!
"not good!"

"poisonous!"

The crowd dispersed.

One hermit reacted very quickly. He swallowed an antidote pill and fled towards the pharmacy at the port.

Someone fell to the ground after walking a few steps, vomiting black blood and dying of poisoning!
Before long, bodies were lying all over the streets.

No one who had just come forward to watch the fun was spared!
There was no living creature within a few feet around the poisonous hand's body. Some escaped, some died.

Only the poisoner's face was still burning, completely charred and his original appearance could no longer be seen.

The flames spread to the entire body and soon turned into a huge ball of fire.

Until his death, no one saw the true face of the murderer.

This is the final act of the murderer.
