Chapter 154: Chapter 153: People of the Poison Sect

Under such an opportunity, Nangong Jing naturally wouldn’t let it slip by.

She quickly freed herself from Zhang Hua’s control, and then with a flying kick, she sent Zhang Hua flying away.

At the same time, Nangong Jing showed no mercy as she charged forward again. Wielding her longsword, she swiftly chopped off both of Zhang Hua’s hands.

With Zhang Hua’s hands severed, any tricks he might have had were now impossible to execute.

Nangong Jing’s body was filled with a killing intent as she coldly said to Zhang Hua, "I really didn’t expect that you, of all people, would be so cunning. A moment ago, this lady almost fell for your scheme!"

Zhang Hua ignored Nangong Jing’s words and instead turned to look at Lin Fan.

"I really regret it!"

Zhang Hua said resentfully.

Lin Fan just smiled and did not speak.

Zhang Hua continued, "Just now, I underestimated you. I forgot that you have mastered the Hidden Weapon Path. It was my oversight; otherwise, you wouldn’t have succeeded!"

Lin Fan indifferently said, "Evil shall never prevail over good. Your wicked and deviant ways, even if you had guarded against my Hidden Weapon Path, I still have other methods to slay you."

"Is that so?"

Zhang Hua laughed and said, "I don’t believe it!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do. Besides, I don’t need to explain myself to you!"

Zhang Hua still wanted to speak, but Nangong Jing interrupted with a shout, saying loudly, "Shut your mouth, if you speak again, I will cut off your tongue."

"Heh heh!"

Zhang Hua laughed, looked at Nangong Jing, and said, "Go ahead, dying by a beauty’s hand could also be considered not having lived in vain!"

Nangong Jing sneered and said, "You think you’ll die a quick and painless death? You’re dreaming. I’m going to let you experience the pain of the world first before sending you on your way!"

Just then, Lin Fan shouted, "Nangong Jing, careful!"

Nangong Jing immediately felt an extremely dangerous presence locking onto her.

"Not good!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Nangong Jing quickly dodged to the side.

She narrowly avoided a thin needle, thanks to Lin Fan’s warning.

If not for Lin Fan’s timely reminder, that thin needle would have landed directly on Nangong Jing.

"Dammit!"

Nangong Jing became overwhelmingly enraged.

Having been outplayed by Zhang Hua twice, Nangong Jing was extremely angry.

This time, she had decided to make her move and completely slay Zhang Hua.

Truth be told, at that moment, Nangong Jing couldn’t help but feel a bit wary of Zhang Hua.

However, just as Nangong Jing was about to strike, Lin Fan suddenly appeared beside her and waved his hand at her saying, "There’s no need for you to make a move!"

"Hm?"

Nangong Jing was taken aback and asked, "Why not?"

Lin Fan replied, "Because he’s already dead!"

"Dead?"

Nangong Jing was startled again. When she looked towards Zhang Hua, she indeed found that Zhang Hua had died, black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, clearly showing that he died from poisoning.

It turned out that Zhang Hua had always been holding poison in his mouth, perhaps not wanting to die under Nangong Jing’s torture. So, he directly swallowed the poison and committed suicide.

"Dammit!"

Nangong Jing screamed in anger: "For this guy to die like this, it’s simply letting him off too easily, hmph!"

Nangong Jing was truly too furious.

She wanted to kill Zhang Hua with her own hands, but alas, she did not get her wish.

Li Rou walked over at this time.

Li Rou’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together, revealing her immense concern.

"Sister Rou, what’s wrong?"

As Lin Fan saw the expression on Li Rou’s face, he couldn’t help but ask.

Li Rou said, "Originally, I never believed the rumors that someone from the Poison Sect had infiltrated our Sky Star Sect. But now, it turns out there is indeed truth to it, now that we know Zhang Hua is one of them!"

"Poison Sect?"

After hearing Li Rou’s words, everyone’s faces changed drastically.

In the entirety of the Barbarian lands, the Sky Star Sect naturally claimed the top position among all sects, but...

If one were to speak of the most mysterious sect, it would undoubtedly be the Poison Sect.

Where exactly is the Poison Sect’s base?

How many members does the Poison Sect have?

Who is the Sect Master of the Poison Sect?

What exactly is the Poison Sect’s creed?

All of these questions surrounded the Poison Sect like an enigma, and no one knew the answers.

In general, members of the Poison Sect rarely walked among the common realm.

But...

Once they did set foot in the common realm, it would inevitably bring a great disaster to the entire Barbarian lands.

The last time the Poison Sect emerged in the common realm was five hundred years ago.

It’s said that five hundred years ago, the Poison Sect launched a massive offensive against the number one sect, the Sky Star Sect. The Sky Star Sect almost fell, but eventually, it was only with the appearance of an extraordinarily brilliant prodigy that they managed to repel the Poison Sect.

Since then, the Poison Sect has always remained in hiding.

To the point where many are not even aware of its existence.

And yet today, a disciple of the Poison Sect has appeared?

And even more so, they’ve already infiltrated the Sky Star Sect?

Nangong Jing asked, "Elder Li Rou, is he really a member of the Poison Sect? Are you sure?"

Li Rou nodded earnestly and said, "I am one hundred percent sure he is a member of the Poison Sect!"

At this point, Li Rou’s face was filled with anxiety as she said, "The reason why the Poison Sect failed five hundred years ago was because of their insufficient knowledge about our Sky Star Sect. Our victory back then was purely luck!"

"It seems the Poison Sect has learned from their previous defeat and has dispatched a large number of disciples to infiltrate our Sky Star Sect!"

"Once the Poison Sect makes their move, the Sky Star Sect could possibly fall into absolute crisis."

"It’s unfortunate that we’re currently in the small world, and it’s not yet time to leave. Otherwise, I would really want to report this information immediately!"

After hearing Li Rou’s words, worry painted the faces of everyone else as well.

If things were as Li Rou said, then the Sky Star Sect was indeed in danger.

A disciple asked, "Elder Li Rou, then, what should we do?"

Li Rou shook her head and said, "For now, there’s nothing we can do except wait until we leave the small world."

As she spoke, a trace of despondency emerged in Li Rou’s heart. She thought to herself, "Even if I go out, what use will it be? I was once at the Transcendent level, and under those circumstances, perhaps I might be of help. But now, I’m merely at the Early Period of the Earth Martial Level; even if I leave, it will be of no use!"

Lin Fan quietly stood beside Li Rou.

He was well aware of Li Rou’s current thoughts.

Lin Fan sighed in his heart and thought to himself, "It’s all my fault Sister Rou ended up like this; no, I must find a way to restore her strength at all costs!"

"Right, the World Heart?"

Suddenly, Lin Fan remembered the World Heart.

The World Heart of this small world was incredibly mysterious, capable of refining the will of the small world, and possessed some effects that nobody else knew about.

Perhaps, upon obtaining the World Heart, Li Rou’s strength might be restored to its former state.
