Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Take Down One

Yusuf Zuck would not let go of someone trying to kill him, not even if it were Mia’s mother.

Of course, he also knew he was in grave danger, because if there was the slightest negligence or lack of concentration on his part, it would undoubtedly result in his death.

The three Truth-Insight experts were too fast, too strong, their Gang Qi too intense, and they were too ruthless, so he was being extremely vigilant.

And when the three masters finally joined forces to attack Yusuf Zuck from three sides, he suddenly had six more steel needles in his hand.

The total number of steel needles he had bought was nine. He had thrown two earlier, so seven remained. Now that he had taken out six, there was still one left in his hand.

He did not rush to shoot the steel needles but gripped them tightly in his hand, and as he turned his body, he suddenly leaped off the platform.

Indeed, seeing the three masters attack him, Yusuf Zuck knew he couldn’t fight them on this platform. Here, during a sneak attack, they could react quickly and easily evade.

So he planned to jump into the crowd. Once the crowd was in chaos, he would launch his stealth attack, greatly increasing his chances of success!

In everything he did, he was strategic.

"Swoosh~" Before the attack of the three masters reached him, Yusuf Zuck turned and jumped down from the platform, his speed was also lightning fast.

As soon as he jumped down, the crowd below immediately became chaotic because no one expected him to jump off. After all, that meant conceding defeat in a platform fight.

However, the crowd instantly understood why he had jumped off. If he didn’t, was he supposed to just stand there and wait for death?

"Where do you think you’re going!" Brad Carlson once again closed in on Yusuf Zuck and struck towards the back of Yusuf’s head.

Yusuf’s Telekinesis had already locked onto the three of them, so as soon as he saw Brad Carlson coming at him again, he twisted his body and suddenly leaped behind a spectator.

Brad Carlson’s hand reached halfway, and his fist landed half an inch away from the spectator’s face, the force of the punch collapsing the man’s nasal bone and sending him flying backward into the air.

The crowd became even more chaotic. Brad Carlson, infuriated, shouted for everyone to get out of the way and continued the chase.

And while Brad Carlson was pushing through the crowd with both hands, continuing to pursue him, Yusuf Zuck once again threw two steel needles from his hand in that moment.

The distance between the two men was only about five meters, and Yusuf’s steel needles aimed straight for Brad’s crown.

"Move!" Seeing Yusuf turn around to throw back, Brad Carlson shouted once more, swiftly parting the crowd to either side and, at the same time, sending a blast of Gang Qi through his sleeves with a wave.

However, just as he waved his sleeve, he didn’t hear the sound of the needles being deflected, and he dropped his sleeve in confusion.

The needle was gone, the sleeve hadn’t hit anything, there was nothing on him, and the surrounding was still a chaotic throng of people, but the needle’s whereabouts were unknown.

"You thief, I will kill you." Brad Carlson was steaming with rage, grinding his teeth as he cursed and set to move forward again.

But... after he had retracted his Gang Qi and had taken just one step forward, suddenly his rear-end clenched tight, feeling a stabbing pain like a needle prick and realizing another sharp pain at the small of his back.

This isn’t good.

Brad Carlson was shocked and spun around to check.

However, there was no one behind him launching a stealth attack, only a few cultivators backing away.

But if no one was behind him to launch the attack, why were there steel needles stuck in his lower back and rear-end?

"Damn it." Brad Carlson didn’t have time to think further. With a gentle flick of his hand and a jutting of his butt, a steel needle appeared in his hand—it was the one that had been stuck into his body, already stained with blood. As he stuck his butt out, he also used the Inner Qi within his body to expel the needle that had been jabbed into his buttocks.

Yusuf Zuck continued to run through the crowd, as Raylan Meskill and Margaret Wilkinson kept up their pursuit.

Meanwhile, no one seemed to pay attention to Brad Carlson as the focus was on Yusuf Zuck. Suddenly, Brad Carlson stopped, and no one knew what he was up to.

"The needle is poisoned!" Brad Carlson’s face changed drastically when he saw the black blood mark on the tip of the needle. He immediately sat down cross-legged amidst the crowd, not daring to move vigorously, and quickly circulated his Inner Qi in an attempt to expel the poison.

But... how could the poison of the little poison girl be so easily expelled? As Brad Carlson circulated his energy to detoxify, he felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, his entire face turned black as charcoal, frighteningly dark.

"Aaaaahhh..." The people nearby screamed when they saw this scene. Brad Carlson was vomiting blood. He had been poisoned.

Raylan Meskill and Margaret Wilkinson, who were chasing Yusuf Zuck, also heard the screams from behind. When they turned around, they saw Brad Carlson’s entire body had turned black, trembling uncontrollably, with black blood still dribbling from his mouth.

"Brother Brad..."

"Brad Carlson..." Raylan Meskill and Margaret Wilkinson’s eyes bulged. When had Brad Carlson been poisoned? They hadn’t seen it happen.

"I’ve been struck by the thief’s poison needle. Save me quickly, it’s millennium corpse poison! Save me, Sophia, save me!" Brad Carlson was in a panic. He knew the nature of the poison when he felt the blood he spat out carefully, and he recognized that this kind of poison could only come from the Miao region. Therefore, the poison on Yusuf Zuck’s needle must have been applied by the little poison girl. After all, Yusuf Zuck and the little poison girl were in cahoots!

"Millennium corpse poison?" Raylan Meskill and Margaret Wilkinson swallowed unconsciously and looked towards Sophia, who was in the distance.

Sophia and the others were on the west side of the arena, while they were on the east side, a considerable distance apart.

"It’s nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me..." Mia shook her hands repeatedly, also extremely afraid because she knew best that Brad Carlson was going to die.

Her poison didn’t have an antidote, not even gods could save him. It wasn’t about whether you had Inner Strength or the Truth-Insight ability. You couldn’t simply dispel the poison just because of that. Once the toxin merged with your blood, all your blood would be poisoned. As you breathe, as your heart beats, as your blood circulates, your heart, liver, lungs, intestines, stomach, and even your brain would be overtaken by the toxin.

This type of millennium corpse poison had no antidote from the beginning, and its toxicity acted very rapidly since the blood in one’s body was constantly flowing throughout, poisoning every capillary!

"Pfft—" As Sophia claimed it wasn’t her doing, Brad Carlson vomited blood again and began to scream.

In less than two minutes, Brad Carlson’s screams grew softer, his body convulsed, black blood flowed out of all seven orifices, and his entire body twitched. As he tentatively raised his head, it abruptly dropped.

He was dead!

Indeed, about two minutes after being poisoned, one would die—even someone with Truth-Insight, regardless of whether they had Inner Qi. That Inner Qi couldn’t possibly expel the toxins that had seeped into the brain, blood vessels, intestines, or skin! Thus, a grandmaster of Truth-Insight was dead!

Even until Brad Carlson’s death, no one knew, no one saw how he had been struck by the poisoned needle!

The chaotic crowd had already cleared an area. Yusuf Zuck stood in the center of the circle; he was not running anymore but laughing softly.

On the outer perimeter of the circle were Margaret Wilkinson and Raylan Meskill, both of whom were stunned by now.

In the world, there were only three grandmasters of Truth-Insight, yet now, one of them had been poisoned to death by an unknown minor practitioner using a hidden weapon!

To be honest, the scene was too dramatic, too tragic, and too ridiculous. However, the reality lay before them. The death of a grandmaster of Truth-Insight seemed too sorrowful and worthless.

"Raylan Meskill, Margaret Wilkinson, it’s your turn now. Shall we continue?" Yusuf Zuck smiled lightly as he raised his right hand, revealing four steel needles in his grasp to the sight of Raylan Meskill and Margaret Wilkinson.

It was with this very steel needle that Yusuf Zuck had killed Brad Carlson!
