Chapter 83 Zhong Xugu Obtains the Sacred Heart Grass
She simply replied, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Even if the King of Hell wanted that person to die at midnight, with Huan Yuechu's methods and judgment, she could make him hold out until the fourth. She knows what she's doing and what to do." After saying that, Xu Yan continued to focus on her work, showing no intention of getting up to go to the scene.
Looking at Xu Yan's calm demeanor and glancing at the scene of being abused outside the window, Wu Yuxuan felt utterly helpless.
He knew that no matter how he tried to persuade her, Xu Yan was unlikely to change her mind at this point.
And just as Xu Yan had said, not long after, Huan Yuechu completely vented her anger and resentment.
At this moment, the man in black had become extremely weak, with only a faint breath left to sustain him, as if he might take his last breath at any moment and pass away completely.
However, how could Huan Yuechu let go of this enemy she hated so much so easily?
She slowly crouched down and approached the man in black who was now powerless to fight back.
Immediately afterwards, she pulled out a bullet that emitted an eerie light from her pocket, shoved it into the black-clad man's mouth without hesitation, and said with a sinister smile.
"Hmph! You think you can get away with this? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! I won't let you die so easily. I'll make you suffer endless torment, wishing you were dead! I have plenty of ways and methods to torture a scum like you."
The man in black was already on his deathbed and could barely speak.
But he mustered the last of his strength and opened his mouth with difficulty, pleading intermittently.
"Please... give me... a quick death." Huan Yuechu remained unmoved by the man in black's pleas.
He simply shook his head slightly and replied coldly, "Want to die? It's not that easy! Unless you obediently tell me how to cure Xingyu, perhaps I can take pity on you and consider giving you a clean and quick death."
Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in the black-clad man's eyes, but it was only for a moment before it was completely hidden away.
Then, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a miserable and helpless smile, as if he had endless pain and entanglement in his heart.
"This was poison specifically prepared for her..."
The man in black spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, carrying an indescribable heaviness.
"You're really lucky. I originally intended to use this poison against you, but who would have thought that it would end up back with her? Hahaha... What a cruel twist of fate!"
At this point, the man in black robes couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the air, sounding particularly desolate.
After laughing, he suddenly stopped, looked coldly at the person in front of him, and continued speaking.
"As for the antidote, it no longer exists. So, stop harboring any unrealistic fantasies and accept your fate!"
Upon hearing these words, Huan Yuechu's beautiful face turned as if it had been swept by a gust of wind, and her originally fair and snow-white skin flushed red with anger, as if it could drip blood.
Immediately afterwards, she flashed and appeared in front of the man in black as quickly as a ghost.
Then, without any mercy, he raised his right foot and stomped hard on the man in black's chest.
The force of the kick was so great that the ground beneath the man in black trembled slightly.
Huan Yuechu looked down at the man in black below, a wicked smile playing on her lips.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're still useful, I would really like to tear you to pieces right now!" After saying that, he continued.
"But you'd better not take any chances. If I find out you dared to deceive me, then what awaits you is torture worse than death and endless suffering!"
The man in black was trampled underfoot, but he showed no fear and instead let out a cold laugh.
"Huan Yuechu, how long do you think you can remain arrogant? There is no cure for this poison. Even if you kill me, it won't make a difference."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Huan Yuechu's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.
"Since you're so certain, you must know something. Tell me quickly, is there any other way to cure the poison?"
The man in black slowly shook his head. "As I said, the antidote no longer exists. However, perhaps there is a legendary method we can try."
Huan Yuechu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked what the method was.
The man in black said, "It is said that if you find the Sacred Heart Grass in Zhongxu Valley and boil it with water from the Thousand-Year Cold Pool, it might be able to suppress the poison. However, Zhongxu Valley is fraught with danger, and the Sacred Heart Grass is guarded by a powerful guardian beast."
Huan Yuechu gritted her teeth, "No matter how dangerous it is, I have to try."
She released her foot and grabbed the man in black, saying, "You're coming with me. If you try anything funny, I won't let you off the hook."
The man in black nodded helplessly, secretly pleased. In fact, it was all a scheme he had set up to lure Huan Yuechu to Zhongxu Valley, where a much bigger conspiracy awaited her.
Huan Yuechu, accompanied by the man in black, embarked on the journey to Zhongxu Valley.
Along the way, the man in black kept giving Huan Yuechu false information about Zhong Xugu, trying to mislead her.
However, Huan Yuechu was cautious by nature and did not completely believe his words.
Upon entering Zhongxu Valley, a thick fog enveloped the area, creating an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
Huan Yuechu remained vigilant, while the man in black grew increasingly excited as they drew closer to the trap.
As they approached the place where the Sacred Heart Grass was located, a huge guardian beast suddenly appeared before them.
Huan Yuechu gripped her weapon, ready for battle, while the man in black chuckled from behind.
Huan Yuechu launched the first attack, rushing towards the guardian beast with lightning speed, her long sword aimed at its vital point.
The guardian beast opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a stream of flames. Huan Yuechu dodged to the side, then swung her sword backhand, sending a sword aura slashing towards the flames.
The two collided and generated a strong gust of air.
The man in black secretly chanted a spell from behind, attempting to interfere with Huan Yuechu.
However, Huan Yuechu keenly sensed an unusual fluctuation of magical power, and she instantly realized that the man in black had ill intentions.
So while dodging the attacks of the guardian beast, he shot several ice needles at the man in black.
The man in black dodged hastily, temporarily ceasing his malicious antics.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the guardian beast pounced. Huan Yuechu pushed off the ground with both feet and leaped high into the air, flipping in mid-air and landing on the guardian beast's back, forcefully stabbing the sword into its back.
The guardian beast roared in pain, twisting its body frantically in an attempt to throw Huan Yuechu off.
Huan Yuechu gripped the sword hilt tightly, and at the same time drew the dagger from her waist and stabbed it fiercely into the neck of the guardian beast.
The guardian beast struggled for a few moments before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
Huan Yuechu jumped down, coldly looking at the man in black, "If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being impolite." After saying that, she walked towards Sacred Heart Grass, completely unaware that a real crisis was about to befall her.
Just as Huan Yuechu was picking the Sacred Heart Grass, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared around her.
The man in black shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's her! Grab her right now!"
The roar ripped through the sky like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the entire valley.
Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu, who was standing still, was suddenly shocked and realized that she had been deceived!
Her once beautiful face was now contorted with rage, and her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light.
She sneered and said sarcastically, "Hmph, you lot think you can trap me? You're dreaming!"
Before she finished speaking, Huan Yuechu put her hands together and muttered some incantations.
In an instant, an incredibly powerful energy erupted from her body, followed by a dazzling light that suddenly burst forth, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.
