109: Chapter 109 Poisoning

They saw that the newcomer was a woman of peerless beauty.

"Sister Huamei?" Ouyang Ling's cheeks flushed instantly, her heart skipping a beat.

Could it be that her bold actions from just moments ago had all been seen by her?

Ouyang Huamei moved with light steps, slowly walking to Xiang Tian's side.

"Xiang Tian, you really have quite the skill; even little sister Ling has been subdued by you."

Her tone shifted, her gaze becoming coquettish.

"However, I don't mind serving you together with her."

As she spoke, she naturally linked her arm with Xiang Tian's.

Xiang Tian reached out and unceremoniously wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Huamei, do you want to be with me that much?"

"That goes without saying." Ouyang Huamei leaned pliantly into his chest, emitting waves of fragrance.

But the next second, Xiang Tian let go, his tone turning serious.

"Go aside for a moment; I have something to tell you."

The expression on his face was one of solemnity that Ouyang Huamei had never seen before.

Ouyang Huamei had initially been a bit displeased, but seeing him like this, she immediately let it go.

She asked curiously, "Oh? What matter could make you so nervous?"

"People from the Dayue Kingdom have already appeared in this deep forest."

Xiang Tian recounted the experience of encountering the Man in black earlier, concisely and clearly.

"In that case, were the people who were hunting me down earlier also from the Dayue Kingdom?" Ouyang Ling's eyebrows furrowed.

The appearance of those Men in black had been without warning, and thinking about it now, it seemed even more bizarre.

"That's hard to say." Xiang Tian shook his head, his gaze deep.

"Since the people from the Dayue Kingdom know I entered the forest, the people from other factions have likely already received the news as well."

"Do you mean that others have also broken into this forest?" The allure on Ouyang Huamei's face instantly faded.

Her expression became extremely grave.

"Therefore, we must reunite with the main force as soon as possible," Xiang Tian said in a deep voice.

Both women nodded upon hearing this.

They had only entered this dangerous place as an exception.

With their mere Martial King Realm cultivation, they would be unable to withstand a single blow in front of a Martial Emperor Realm expert.

"But do you know where the main force is?" Ouyang Ling asked hurriedly.

"How would I know?" Xiang Tian spread his hands, then added,

"But it doesn't matter; we can just look for them slowly."

The two women exchanged glances and could only nod in agreement.

Just then, a white figure darted over, calling out crisply,

"Mistress!"

It was Bai Yu.

She was naturally close to Ouyang Huamei.

Upon approaching, she immediately linked arms with her tightly.

Ouyang Huamei quite enjoyed this closeness and smilingly took out a storage ring to hand over.

"These are a few Spirit Beasts I captured; they are for you."

"Thank you, Mistress!" Bai Yu took the storage ring, beaming with joy and unable to contain her happiness.

"All you know is how to crave these Spirit Beasts," Xiang Tian pretended to scold from the side.

"What is it, did I not feed you enough usually?"

"Blehh!" Bai Yu made a face at Xiang Tian.

"Alright, let's continue on our way." Xiang Tian said nothing more and took the lead, stepping forward.

Xiao Hei followed closely behind, and the two women tacitly kept a distance from Xiao Hei.

Along the way, the two women were quite interested in the Poison Dart Frog perched on Xiang Tian's shoulder.

The Poison Dart Frog also enjoyed this lively atmosphere and actually mimicked Bai Yu.

It called out "Mistress" sweetly, making the two women burst into giggles.

The originally tense atmosphere eased up a bit.

But this joy did not last long.

"Bang—!" A loud noise came from ahead, mixed with the clashing sounds of weapons.

Someone was in a fierce battle!

"Not good, Ouyang Yuanshan is being besieged!" Xiang Tian's brow instantly locked, and he stared intently.

In the distance, Ouyang Yuanshan was resisting with all his might.

Even though he had long since reached the Martial Emperor Realm, he appeared extremely disheveled at this moment.

If even he was struggling so much, they would have absolutely no chance of winning.

"Brother Yuanshan, do you need help?" Xiang Tian shouted.

The voice penetrated the roar of the battle and carried over.

Ouyang Yuanshan was stunned upon hearing this, then saw who it was.

His face changed drastically, and he shouted hurriedly, "You guys leave quickly! These three Men in black are all Martial Emperor Realm experts!"

"Hmm? There are actually two such gorgeous beauties?" One of the Men in black looked over following the voice.

His gaze lingered on Ouyang Ling and Ouyang Huamei, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Oh no!" Ouyang Yuanshan's heart sank, his brows knitting together.

If these two clan sisters were to come to harm here, he would have no way to answer to the clan after returning.

The other Man in black laughed wickedly and shouted at Ouyang Yuanshan.

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, don't resist! As long as you help us capture those two women, perhaps we can spare you and let you live!"

Xiang Tian heard the conversation clearly, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

At this moment, Ouyang Yuanshan was still struggling to hold on, forced into dangerous situations by the three Men in black.

"You guys retreat quickly! I'll help buy you time!" Ouyang Yuanshan's voice was urgent and hoarse.

"Xiang Tian, take them both and leave immediately!"

Just then, Xiang Tian's eyes lit up, and he immediately used Divine Sense to transmit his voice to Ouyang Yuanshan.

"Brother Yuanshan, do you know about the Poison Dart Frog?"

Ouyang Yuanshan was stunned, then quickly responded.

"Of course I know! This race is an expert in using poison among the Yao Race, and its toxicity is so fierce that it ranks in the top five even among all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

Although he didn't understand why Xiang Tian suddenly asked this, he answered truthfully.

"Haha, what a coincidence; I happen to have subdued a Poison Dart Frog." Xiang Tian's Divine Sense transmission carried a hint of a smile.

"Hiss—really?" Ouyang Yuanshan gasped, his eyes full of shock.

The Poison Dart Frog was fierce by nature and extremely difficult to subdue.

Xiang Tian actually managed to tame it?

"Find a way to get closer to my side." After saying this, Xiang Tian cut off the Divine Sense connection.

His gaze fell on the Poison Dart Frog on his shoulder.

The Poison Dart Frog seemed to understand his meaning and immediately jumped onto his palm.

Xiang Tian took out the qingling sword and placed it in front of the Poison Dart Frog.

He instructed, "Use your poison to quench this sword."

The Poison Dart Frog stuck out its long tongue, and mucus dripped from the tip of its tongue onto the sword, making a "sizzling" sound.

"Your method of quenching poison is really disgusting." Xiang Tian curled his lip in disdain and muttered in a low voice.

Subsequently, he used Divine Sense to transmit again.

"Brother Yuanshan, you can start; find an excuse to come over."

"Good!" Ouyang Yuanshan nodded secretly.

While fighting with the three Men in black, his eyes darted rapidly, pondering a countermeasure.

"Bang!" With a muffled thud, Ouyang Yuanshan intentionally revealed a flaw.

He was struck in the chest by one of the Men in black.

His whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Pfft—" He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, landing right in front of Xiang Tian and the others.

"Seriously, you don't have to be so desperate when acting, right?" Xiang Tian rolled his eyes.

While complaining, his actions were not slow.

He crouched down and shoved the poison-quenched qingling sword into his hand, whispering,

"Next, it's up to your performance."

Having said that, he immediately took the women and retreated to a safe distance.

Ouyang Yuanshan lay on the ground, intentionally emitting painful groans.

He cursed angrily at the three Men in black.

"You three dog thieves! If you have the ability, just cut me down with one blade; don't be so wishy-washy!"

"Oh? You're at death's door, and you still dare to bark here?" One of the Men in black raised an eyebrow, killing intent baring in his eyes.

"Since you want to die so much, I will fulfill your wish!"

As he spoke, he carried his blade and walked toward Ouyang Yuanshan step by step.

Just as his blade was about to fall, Ouyang Yuanshan, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly flipped up, and a cold light flashed from the qingling sword in his hand.

"Ssh~" It precisely sliced a bloody gash on the back of the Man in black's hand!

"Is that it?" The Man in black was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

This minor injury was not worth mentioning to him at all.

Ouyang Yuanshan couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him; he picked up his sword and charged toward the other two Men in black.

But he had only taken two steps when a shrill scream came from behind.

"Ah—!"

The Man in black who had just had his hand sliced was suddenly convulsing and fell to the ground.

Foaming at the mouth, his face turning blue and purple, he looked miserable.

"What did you do to him?" The remaining two Men in black changed expressions drastically, their brows locking tight.

They stared at Ouyang Yuanshan vigilantly.

"What did I do?" Ouyang Yuanshan's lips curled into a cold smile.

"You can go down there and ask him yourself!"

As the words fell, his figure suddenly accelerated.

The qingling sword stabbed directly at one of them.

"Clang!" The Man in black reacted extremely quickly, waving his blade to block.

Ouyang Yuanshan twisted his wrist, and the sword's momentum changed abruptly.

The sword tip precisely turned toward the other Man in black nearby.

That person also reacted quickly, dodging in a hurry.

But he was still a half-beat slow, and his hand was grazed by the sword tip, oozing a trace of black blood.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around.

He focused all his efforts on dealing with the remaining Man in black.

On the other side, the Man in black who had been grazed followed his companion's footsteps.

Very quickly, he was convulsing and falling to the ground, foaming at the mouth, with no sign of life.

"You... what exactly did you do to them?" The last remaining Man in black retreated half a step in fear, his eyes full of terror.

Ouyang Yuanshan's Moves were not remarkable, but that bizarre toxicity was truly terrifying!

Ouyang Yuanshan approached step by step, holding his sword.

He said coldly, "I said, if you want to know the answer, go down there and ask them."
