Even a lion must exert full force when fighting a rabbit.
It is all to reduce uncertainties and ensure success.
For dealing with a cunning and ruthless person like Bloody Beard, it is all the more necessary to do so.
The black-clothed woman’s face changed slightly, but she still refused to cooperate, snorting coldly, "Don’t scaremonger here. With his capabilities, I can defeat him by myself!"
However, she disregarded the elder’s advice from Chu Feng and the consequences were immediately evident.
Reality promptly slapped her in the face.
Bloody Beard reached out and flicked a packet of pink powder into the air. The entire secret room was filled with this sweet-smelling powder.
"Hold your breath quickly, this is the aphrodisiac!"
Chu Feng easily identified the medicine powder that Bloody Beard had released.
Faintly, two orange-yellow flames could be seen burning inside his nostrils, refining the pink powder as soon as it was inhaled.
The black-clothed woman inhaled just a little and immediately felt her head growing heavy.
"You’re seeking death!" While holding her breath, the black-clothed woman brandished her sword and attacked Bloody Beard.
Fortunately, both she and Han Qianren were skilled, plus Han Qianren was an experienced worldly fellow who held his breath in time and did not inhale the aphrodisiac.
The two joined forces and in a moment, they knocked Bloody Beard to the ground, with Han Qianren stepping on his head.
The long sword in his hand stabbed Bloody Beard four times consecutively.
Bloody Beard was immediately rendered powerless to resist and fell to the ground with a hateful gaze directed at Chu Feng and others.
"I admit defeat today, name your price! I’m willing to use silver to settle this!" In Bloody Beard’s eyes, nothing couldn’t be solved with money.
Having fallen into the hands of Chu Feng, he now wanted to use silver to buy his life.
"First, hand over the antidote!" Although masked, the black-clothed woman’s face was flushed as if she was drunk.
Her sword-holding hand trembled severely, appearing very weak. Her body also swayed as if she was about to fall.
Apparently, the poison was extremely potent.
"Antidote? Even if you kill me, I cannot produce it!" Despite the circumstances, Bloody Beard remained defiant.
As a gang leader of the delinquents, who always did terrible deeds, he was prepared to risk his life.
The prepared aphrodisiac was only meant to harm others; he had never considered an antidote.
"I... will kill you..."
Upon hearing Bloody Beard’s words, the black-clothed woman was extremely infuriated.
Unfortunately, poisoned as she was, just as she tried to raise her sword to kill Bloody Beard, her sword clattered to the ground due to her inability to hold it steady.
She staggered backward a few steps and fell to the ground.
Chu Feng hurriedly supported her.
"Get away..." The black-clothed woman tried to push Chu Feng away, but she was too weak.
"I will first help you rest inside. After I subdue Bloody Beard, I will find a way to save you," said Chu Feng decisively, placing her on a stone bed in the secret room.
Some wealthy nobles usually use jade beds for resting in their secret rooms.
The better ones even have cold jade ice beds.
The Sword King Mansion was so poor that it couldn’t afford meals, naturally there was no money to buy expensive cold jade ice beds.
After putting her down, Chu Feng twisted his body and quickly returned, walking towards Bloody Beard.
"Han Qianren, pry his mouth open for me!"
Chu Feng commanded unceremoniously.
Fearing the inhalation of poison powder, Han Qianren merely nodded, daring not to speak.
Actually, it was already safe.
The powder had long since fallen to the ground and was no longer floating in the air.
"What, what are you trying to do? Let go of me..." Bloody Beard struggled desperately, sensing something ominous.
As he had proposed to buy his life with money, Chu Feng showed no interest in negotiating a price.
"Aren’t you curious why I can control Han Qianren?"
"It doesn’t hurt to tell you. The Puppet Elixir you bought at the auction was personally crafted by me."
Chu Feng reluctantly took out a Puppet Elixir, worth several ten thousand silver taels.
Bloody Beard’s body violently trembled, staring at Chu Feng with unbelieving fear in his eyes.
He understood that today, not only had he fallen into trouble, but he had fallen into the muck at the bottom of the gutter.
"No wonder Prince Liu paid a hefty sum to have you, a minor figure, assassinated!"
"Turns out, you are not some waste, but an Alchemy master. You’ve hidden your skill well... Please don’t feed me the Puppet Elixir, I have plenty of money, all of which I can give you..."
At this moment, Bloody Beard finally understood the capabilities of Chu Feng.
Possessing an Abnormal Fire and capable of refining the sensational Puppet Elixir that shook the entire Royal Capital. How could he be considered a waste?
He was evidently a Supreme Genius with terrifying strength.
"Do you think I am a fool? By feeding you this Puppet Elixir, not only will your money be mine, but also your life, and the entire Blood Sword Gang will be under my control."
"If it weren’t for your value, I’d really hate to feed you such a precious Elixir."
Saying so, Chu Feng ignored the pained expression of Bloody Beard and forcibly fed the Elixir into his mouth.
Bloody Beard desperately tried to push it out with his tongue, trying to spit it out.
Chu Feng took out a silver needle and pricked it behind Bloody Beard’s ear. As a result, Bloody Beard involuntarily swallowed the Puppet Elixir in his mouth.
"Wuu wuu... may you never rest in peace..."
Very soon, Bloody Beard started feeling groggy and began to lose control.
After the effects of the medicine completely dissolved, Chu Feng carried out the necessary processes, successfully becoming the master of Bloody Beard.
From now on, unless Chu Feng withdrew the spell, Bloody Beard had to obey Chu Feng until death.
"From now on, I am your master! When not commanded to do anything, you are still the Gang Leader of the Blood Sword Gang in front of others."
Even though Chu Feng had gained control over two significant figures overnight, he did not plan to reveal it.
He intended to keep them as two aces up his sleeve, to be played at a critical moment for a surprising effect.
For now, it’s better to keep it hidden.
"Alright, all of you may go back! If anyone tries to harm me or the Sword King Mansion, just secretly report to me!"
Chu Feng commanded the two newly subdued powerful servants.
"As master detoxifies that beauty, we will take our leave!" Bloody Beard cackled strangely, retreating from the secret chamber along with Han Qianren.
