Chapter 639 - 637: Chen Tianlong Is Poisoned
Jiang Yufan seemed to notice something unusual. Chen Tianlong wasn’t just injured; there was something more going on. She ran to his side, only to find that his chest was bleeding. Shocked, she exclaimed, "Chen Tianlong, you... you’re bleeding a lot."
Before Chen Tianlong could answer, Jiang Yufan tore off a piece of cloth from her clothing. Since a girl’s outerwear is usually long, tearing it off didn’t affect her much.
"Chen Tianlong, let me help you bandage it," Jiang Yufan was visibly worried as she gazed at the bloody wound, the pain in her heart evident.
"Yufan, don’t move!"
Wan Qi immediately recognized that Chen Tianlong’s wound was poisoned, and she knew the poison: Heart-Eroding Gu.
"Ah! Grandma, what’s wrong, Chen Tianlong is injured and bleeding a lot, I have to bandage him," Jiang Yufan asked, puzzled.
"His wound is poisoned, and it’s a very potent poison. If you have any wounds, it can easily be transmitted, and then it’s over."
Wan Qi frowned. Who was that person named Xue Kong really, and what was the relationship between Earth Dragon and Black Alliance? This poison has been lost for years, the only hearsay was that the Black Alliance Gang Leader, Red-eyed Eagle, had used it.
"Xue Kong, Red-eyed Eagle, are they on the same side?"
Wan Qi suddenly remembered something, feeling a wave of helplessness. This poison was truly difficult to cure. Back then, Red-eyed Eagle used it to intimidate many people and thus recruited numerous experts.
After all, those poisoned are said to be incurable, requiring Red-eyed Eagle to provide an antidote to alleviate it.
Yes, alleviate! Not cure.
"Cough cough... Yufan, you don’t need to worry, I’m fine." Chen Tianlong endured the pain in his heart, it felt like something was eroding his heart, the pain growing stronger.
"Chen Tianlong, stop talking and focus on healing," Jiang Yufan said, concerned.
At that moment, suddenly three figures emerged from a hidden passage. Seeing the scene before them, they were initially dumbfounded. Chen Tianlong was healing from injury, and beside him was a large box.
Hu Fei reacted immediately, quickly trying to destroy the goods, but suddenly discovered a woman in her thirties or forties standing beside him.
"You nasty woman, you looking for death?"
Hu Fei saw Wan Qi and thought she was some middle-aged woman, and kicked her directly, but the next moment, he realized something was wrong. When he kicked the woman’s abdomen, she didn’t budge at all.
"Crack." There was a crisp sound, and Hu Fei’s leg broke instantly.
"Ow!" A pig-slaughtering scream echoed throughout Earth Dragon Mountain, scaring Wang Tao and Peng Wanli nearby into trembling. If Hu Fei wasn’t a cultivator, he might have fainted from the pain on the spot.
"You... who are you, why are you here?"
Hu Fei started to feel nervous. Although his leg wasn’t entirely crippled, just from the woman’s demonstrated power alone, she was certainly far above him. Looking around, Xue Kong was already gone, probably fled.
"Don’t move, hands up," suddenly a shout came from the cave, shortly afterwards a group of people ran out followed closely by Zhao Bing, Zhang Yufei, and Director Qu.
Seeing the situation, Wang Tao and Peng Wanli immediately dashed to Hu Fei’s side, without a word, taking him and fleeing. But after running a few steps, they suddenly realized not far ahead a massive crowd was approaching, over a hundred people, all armed.
Instantly, the three were terrified, knowing this time escape was nearly impossible.
"Don’t move, you are surrounded, better surrender quietly," shouted squad leader Huang Bin through a megaphone. He had already received orders from Director Qu, the people in front were the core leaders of Earth Dragon and definitely should not be allowed to escape.
At this moment, Hu Fei glanced around, only to see Jiang Yufan and Wan Qi looking at them, while the injured Chen Tianlong was to the side. After pondering for a moment, Hu Fei made a decision, signaling to Peng Wanli and Wang Tao who immediately understood.
Suddenly, Wang Tao leaped into the air, rolled on the ground for a while, and slipped into the nearby bushes. Upon seeing this, Zhao Bing immediately ordered to encircle, but the next moment, something unexpected happened.
"Boom! Boom! Boom Boom!..."
Continuous explosions rang out near everyone, the warehouse blown to bits. Chen Tianlong sensed something was wrong, quickly got up and grabbed Jiang Yufan, running outward while the special police inside the cave were thrown into chaos by the blast wave, suffering casualties.
Zhao Bing fell to the ground, his ears still ringing, surrounded by rolling smoke and dust. Upon seeing this scene outside, the troops rushed over quickly, but discovered those three were gone.
"Director Zhao, this is the only evidence, quickly send someone to guard it," Zhang Yufei got up and dashed to the box of goods, then shouted.
"Evidence, haha, what do I need evidence for? Kill them without mercy, ******, where did those three **** go, find them," Zhao Bing wasn’t concerned about evidence at this point, several officers had already died, still need evidence?
"Chen Tianlong, how are you, cough cough..."
Jiang Yufan was pressed against Chen Tianlong, who was holding her. The explosion just now was too sudden, the blast wave could have injured her severely if not for Chen Tianlong’s protection.
Even using Powerful Qi as a shield, Chen Tianlong was severely hurt by the post-explosion shockwave.
"I... cough cough... fine." Although the poisoned dart in Chen Tianlong’s chest had been removed, the toxicity was temporarily controlled. Now with this upheaval, the poison started reacting again.
Wan Qi saw the poison starting to invade Chen Tianlong, quickly walked over, and grasped his pulse point, beginning to transmit Powerful Qi.
"Grandma, what are you doing?" Jiang Yufan asked, concerned.
"Controlling the poison within him. Just now in the explosion, this kid protected you, and the poison took the chance to spread throughout his body. If I don’t act, he’ll soon lose his life," Wan Qi noted. Seeing Chen Tianlong protect her granddaughter in such a situation touched her.
"Ah? Chen Tianlong..." Jiang Yufan, aware of the truth now, almost shed tears, saying, "Thank you, Chen Tianlong."
"Hehe, not dead yet, cough cough cough..."
"Kid, say a few less words, will you die? It’s obvious the poison is about to invade your heart, yet you’re still putting up a tough front."
Wan Qi gave Chen Tianlong a glance, but since he is already in this state, it’s hard to blame him much. Thus, she quietly transmitted Powerful Qi to him, temporarily suppressing the poison with its strength.
Jiang Yufan stood up, looking at the mess around and the injured police officers. She walked over and checked around. Suddenly someone leaped out from the bushes. Just before she could react, she felt darkness before her eyes, then blacked out.
"Get him!"
Zhao Bing was leading a search with the troops when he suddenly saw a figure leap from the bushes, grabbed a girl nearby and walked towards the riverbank. The next moment, only heard a splash, the two jumped into the water.
Wan Qi hurriedly retracted her Powerful Qi, seeing Jiang Yufan taken away, she too dashed towards the riverbank, but they had already disappeared into the water.
