Those who stood farthest when the medicine was brewing were now rushing to be the first to drink it, as if fearing there would be none left for them. Observing these individuals, everyone couldn’t help but show a trace of disdain in their eyes.
However, firstly, these people weren’t weak and have always been fierce, and secondly, the pot of soup looked large enough for everyone, so no one really bothered to argue with them.
Nonetheless, what no one expected was that within just a few breaths after these people drank the soup, someone started bleeding from all orifices and died instantly!
A shocked cry burst forth, and the faces of those nearby turned pale as they hurriedly stepped back.
In the blink of an eye, another person spurted blood from their mouth and died on the spot.
"No, there’s poison in the soup!"
Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm, and before anyone else could respond, those who had rushed to drink the soup all keeled over dead one after another.
This sudden turn of events genuinely scared everyone around; those holding the medicine bowl even dropped them out of sheer terror.
"That’s impossible, I brewed the medicine myself, how could it be poisoned?"
Sun Yujie was dumbfounded.
She had overseen the entire process herself, how could there have been a chance to poison it?
Moreover, with her knowledge of herbs, she would have detected if anything was amiss. How could someone poison it without a sign?
But then, if it wasn’t poisoned, how would you explain the deaths of those people?
"Why panic?! Everyone stand still, one taste will tell us if there’s poison!"
Amidst the commotion, Wang Junze walked out swiftly with a stern face, reprimanding loudly, "Miao Yu, let the disciples of Medicine King Valley drink the soup and see if it can kill anyone."
Without the slightest hesitation at Wang Junze’s order, Miao Yu picked up a bowl of soup and handed it to a nearby disciple of Medicine King Valley.
"No, I don’t want to die... Help!"
Watching as a few people had just died, the Medicine King Valley disciple didn’t understand what was happening but dared not drink the soup. Seeing Miao Yu’s actions, she hurriedly retreated.
However, perhaps too scared, in confusion and haste, she ran directly toward Wang Junze.
A glint of malevolence flashed in his eyes as Wang Junze placed a hand on his sword, shouting harshly at the Medicine King Valley disciple.
However, just as she approached Wang Junze, a terrifying wave of Demon Qi suddenly erupted, enveloping Wang Junze from above!
"Junior Brother Wang, be careful!"
Almost at the instant the Demon Qi erupted, Luo Qingxuan reacted, her face changing dramatically as she urgently shouted. Google seaʀᴄh noveⅼfire.net
But at such close range, how could there be time to react?
Within the enveloping Demon Qi, the Medicine King Valley disciple suddenly lifted her head, showing a trace of sneer in her eyes, and boldly reached out a hand toward Wang Junze’s heart!
At this point, everyone realized the Medicine King Valley disciple was definitely a Fox Demon in disguise.
However, it was too late by the time this realization struck!
A Transformed Great Demon acting against Wang Junze, a Refining Spirit, and by surprise, left him no chance at survival!
Just as the Fox Demon reached for Wang Junze, a terrifying sword light suddenly burst forth, as if Wang Junze had anticipated it all along. The sword in his hand instantly transformed into a brilliant Sword Aura, exploding in front of him!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Wang Junze unleashed his full power, his terrifying strength fully revealed in that instant.
This abrupt turn of events was something even the Fox Demon couldn’t have foreseen.
Wasn’t she the one who calculated everything and seized the chance for a surprise attack? How did Wang Junze react so swiftly?
There was no time to think; the Sword Edge had already clashed with her palm.
To hide her aura, she struck at will, but Wang Junze exerted all his might, so this grab was truly blocked by the Sword Edge!
However, the real danger was far from over!
Almost in the instant Wang Junze blocked the attack, a dazzling Sword Aura pierced through the void, directly striking the Fox Demon’s back!
That sword was equally fast to the extreme, and... equally premeditated!
During the day’s confrontation, Fox Demon Qianqian had suffered under Luo Qingxuan’s sword. Now with the situation reversed, the planned ambush turned into Luo Qingxuan’s counter-ambush, making it naturally harder to resist.
In a hurry, Qianqian had to reveal her true form, rolling in the air to narrowly avoid a fatal blow.
But even so, the Sword Aura still swept across her back, causing fresh blood to splatter, another deep wound exposing the bone!
Uttering a mournful cry, Qianqian tumbled through the air before landing, transforming back into human form, surrounded by frenziedly spreading Demon Qi and eyes full of disbelief, confusion, and venomous hatred!
"Did you set me up?!"
Under consecutive ambushes by Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan, Qianqian then realized she had long been exposed. But she couldn’t comprehend how she was discovered.
In her own skills of concealing her aura and shifting appearances, she had utmost confidence that not even a Path-Entering Powerhouse could detect her.
This was her trump card, ensuring she wouldn’t suffer against other Transformed Great Demons. But how did Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan detect her?
Moreover, she had stayed there for so long, meticulously observing everyone’s reactions and confirming no one noticed anything unusual before setting the plan to act.
Despite being so cautious, how was she exposed?
"Weren’t you the one who walked into our trap?" A trace of mockery surfaced at his lips as Wang Junze retorted dismissively.
