Chapter 1727: Chapter 1824: Strange and Deadly Poison

“What a remarkable body, comparable to an Immortal, probably even those at the early stages of immortality can’t match you in physical strength.” Zhang Lao’er struck Fang Lin to the ground with his palm, shook his slightly numbed hand, and couldn’t help but praise.

Despite several attacks from both Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan, Fang Lin was unharmed, without a scratch, while they were exhausted themselves.

Wu Laosan’s face was grim, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified. Unable to harm Fang Lin for so long, he was already extremely impatient.

Fang Lin stood up, looked at Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan above, and his face was not pleasant either. Although unhurt, being hit like this continuously was not a solution.

Fang Lin’s body was formidable, but it still had limits. If Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan continued attacking, Fang Lin’s body would eventually be broken.

Then, with his body broken and no cultivation left, Fang Lin would face imminent death.

Another deadly aspect was Fang Lin’s current situation in the gray mist, able to stay here only due to the effects of the True Essence Golden Body Pill.

The True Essence Golden Body Pill’s effect, aside from counteracting the erosion of the gray mist, could also resist part of Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan’s attacks.

But doing so would deplete the pill’s effects faster.

Originally, one True Essence Golden Body Pill could last about half a month, but under these circumstances, it wouldn’t even support four or five days.

Fang Lin cursed inwardly, damn it, this is what they call a house leaking on a rainy night. Had he known there would be so much trouble, he would have brought the Demon Puppet along to deal with strong enemies.

Unfortunately, Fang Lin left the Demon Puppet in the Sky Swallowing Palace, didn’t bring it out, and the True Dragon clone was still in the Beast Bag, used to suppress the heads of the black-skirted woman and the Cow Riding Old Taoist. He didn’t want to risk using it unless absolutely necessary, especially with his cultivation sealed, as the black-skirted woman or the Cow Riding Taoist might notice and cause trouble.

All in all, Fang Lin was indeed trapped in a desperate situation, unable to fight or escape, prolonging the standoff was of no benefit.

Suddenly, Fang Lin remembered he had some kind of pill on him, and immediately tapped the Nine Palace Bag, extracting a black jade bottle.

“Hm?” When Zhang Lao’er saw Fang Lin taking out a black bottle, he didn’t know what Fang Lin’s trick was but didn’t want any complications, so he rushed to Fang Lin and snatched the black jade bottle.

“No matter what pill is in this bottle, I’ll not let you take it, to avoid causing us trouble.” Zhang Lao’er said with a smile, holding the black jade bottle and deliberately shaking it in front of Fang Lin.

Wu Laosan appeared behind Fang Lin, transformed his palm into a blade, and slashed towards Fang Lin’s back.

Fang Lin reacted swiftly, dodging Wu Laosan’s attack, and turned with a punch at Wu Laosan.

But Wu Laosan reacted equally quickly, leaping into the air, making Fang Lin unable to reach him.

“Hm?” At that moment, the black jade bottle in Zhang Lao’er’s hand suddenly cracked.

Fang Lin’s face showed a faint smile, with a hint of expectation.

“The contents inside aren’t meant for me.” Fang Lin revealed a smug expression.

A strange black mist seeped from the crack in the jade bottle, alarming Zhang Lao’er, who immediately threw the black jade bottle far away.

But he was still slightly late, as the black mist was already half enveloping Zhang Lao’er’s right hand that held the jade bottle.

“What the hell is this?” Zhang Lao’er’s expression changed, unable to dissolve the black mist even with his own aura.

Moreover, the black mist intensified, and started corroding the flesh of Zhang Lao’er’s right hand.

Seeing this, Fang Lin’s smile widened, “You’re nearly dead.”

Zhang Lao’er glared, “What did you do?”

Fang Lin ignored him, pulled out two identical black jade bottles from the Nine Palace Bag.

Originally approaching Fang Lin, Wu Laosan retreated to a distance upon seeing the black jade bottles, clearly apprehensive.

“Why? Weren’t you hitting fiercely a moment ago? Keep attacking!” Fang Lin taunted, glaring at Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan.

Wu Laosan glanced at Zhang Lao’er, whose right hand was now just bare bone, even the bone was starting to be corroded.

Zhang Lao’er couldn’t stop the decay with his life force, showing no signs of improvement.

This made Zhang Lao’er truly panic; at this rate, his whole body might rot!

“I’ll help you cut it off.” Wu Laosan suggested, intending to sever a section of Zhang Lao’er’s arm to stop the spread of the black mist.

Zhang Lao’er nodded, agreeing as losing a hand was nothing for someone of his cultivation, it would grow back soon.

But if his whole body rotted, he’d be doomed.

“Haha, even if you cut off the whole arm, the black mist won’t disappear. It’s emitted from inside, with the origin in the body.” Fang Lin taunted.

This statement made Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan’s faces change drastically.

“What did you say?” Zhang Lao’er’s face turned nasty, filled with anger and dread.

Not even severing the arm could stop the black mist? And the root is in the body? Did that mean he was beyond saving?

“Impossible! I only held that bottle for a few seconds, how could the poison have entered my body?” Zhang Lao’er said coldly, doubting Fang Lin’s claim.

Fang Lin looked disdainfully at Zhang Lao’er, “Unless you’re an Immortal, the poison enters your body in an instant.”

Zhang Lao’er grimly faced Fang Lin’s words, skeptical, yet hesitated before allowing Wu Laosan to sever his entire right arm.

Fang Lin watched coldly, his contempt even more evident.

Sure enough, even after cutting off the entire arm, the black mist still emerged from Zhang Lao’er’s body, continuing to corrode from the shoulder onward.

This truly panicked Zhang Lao’er, sweat cold and in abundance.

Wu Laosan’s face was equally grim, he roared at Fang Lin, “Hand over the antidote!”

Fang Lin laughed heartily, “Antidote? I refined this poison just for emergencies, where’s the antidote?”

“No antidote? Then how can this poison be cured? You better tell the truth, or I’ll make your death extremely miserable.” Wu Laosan threatened.
