Chapter 1678: Chapter 1678: Give me back the antidote!
The purple-robed person endured the pain and climbed up from the ground, his eyes filled with vicious fury as he stared at the person in front of him.
“How much money has Xiang Qiyan paid you? I will pay you three times as much, as long as you kill Xiang Qiyan!” he decided to tempt them with wealth, not believing there was anyone who didn’t like money.
But…
He was disappointed, for they did not reply even a single word to him, only stared at him with a cold gaze that seemed to warn him he’d be kicked out if he came any closer.
“If you refuse the wine of respect, you shall drink the wine of penalty; if you do not wish to live, then I shall not be polite.”
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, opened the lid, and with a flick of his fingers, the medicinal powder inside scattered and flew towards the Paper Person.
Unable to kill Xiang Qiyan from close range, he decided to use poison.
The previous poison had not succeeded in killing Xiang Qiyan, but he thought that this time, the poison would surely send Xiang Qiyan to the netherworld.
Little did he know…
“Uh!”
No sooner had the poison been scattered than he felt an unusual sensation on his body.
His eyes instantly widened with disbelief as he looked towards the Paper Person, aware that the person had returned all of the scattered poison back to him.
But how had he managed it? He hadn’t seen the person’s movements at all, and then, as he turned to look at another Paper Person, he caught sight of them making a motion to strike him with One Palm Strike, a move that gathered the energy of heaven and earth, sending all the poison back to him.
“You…”
His legs gave way and he ‘thumped’ to his knees on the ground.
At that moment, he could no longer think about how to deal with Xiang Qiyan, but instead quickly reached into his bosom, took out another porcelain bottle, and took out a medicinal pill, attempting to toss it into his mouth.
However, he had not realized that even eating an antidote was not so simple.
A large hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere, very timely seizing both the porcelain bottle in his hand and the antidote between his finger and thumb.
He was left with nothing.
“Give me back the antidote!”
The purple-robed person roared furiously at the Paper Person.
Although the poison wasn’t lethal enough to kill instantly, it was indeed fatal, and without the antidote, he wouldn’t live for long.
This poison, in combination with the one previously used on Xiang Qiyan, was synergistic, and their combined effect would result in immediate death.
He had wanted to kill Xiang Qiyan and then retreat safely, thereby upholding the reputation of the Liushang Sect in the Jianghu. Little did he expect these people to be such tough bones to chew.
“You…”
‘Snap,’ went the sound.
He tried to speak further, only to see the Paper Person’s hand clutching the porcelain bottle tighten, and both the bottle and the antidote inside were crushed into powder, then scattered to the wind with a palm spread open.
“I will kill you!”
The purple-robed person was enraged, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the Paper Person, gripping his long sword tightly as he prepared to strike.
But would the Paper Person give him that chance? Raising a hand, they struck toward his Tianling Cover. Fortunately, at that moment, an assassin saw his leader in peril, dashed out, and intercepted the strike meant for the Paper Person.
Another assassin managed to rescue the purple-robed person.
It was in the brief moment of that intervention that the person was killed at the hands of the Paper Person.
The purple-robed person was drenched in a cold sweat from fear; had he not escaped quickly, would he not have been the one lying dead?
These people were indeed terrifying, attacking directly without a word.
