Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Miaojiang Gu Master, Fourth Update

The birthday banquet swiftly moved into the afternoon.

The Cai Family had planned a three-day celebration, but Chen Wei and Su Yumei didn’t have that much time to spend there.

There were many matters awaiting Su Yumei, the Chairwoman of Qingshi Group, to make decisions on, and since their paths diverged, Chen Wei let Su Yumei drive off on her own first.

He didn’t have much to do anyway, so he simply wandered around to take a look.

On the other hand, Chen Wei had long noticed that someone had been observing him from the shadows.

He wasn’t surprised by this, in fact, it was to be expected.

To dare to afflict a Family Master of one of the four great families with Gu poison, one could imagine the complexity of the situation here.

By forcing the Insect Gu out of Cai Yuancheng’s body, he had indirectly thwarted their plan; it was only logical for them to come after him.

To avoid involving Su Yumei, Chen Wei could only choose to leave the Cai Family; with so many people around, they wouldn’t dare to take the risk of making a move.

After all, by now Cai Yuancheng knew that those people weren’t trying to save him but to harm him, so they couldn’t appear openly at the Cai Family as before.

As Chen Wei walked further away from the Cai Family.

When he was about a thousand meters away, Chen Wei stopped by the roadside, faced the beautiful mountains and rivers, took a deep breath, spread his arms, and said, "There’s no one else here, just me, there’s no need to hide anymore, come out."

Clap clap clap!

The sound of applause came from behind the trees.

Chen Wei didn’t need to look back to know clearly that the person had walked out from behind the trees, stepping on dry wood and leaves. Judging by the sound, the person was about 1.75 meters tall and weighed around 140 kilograms.

Even from a distance, he could detect the scent of venomous insects emanating from him.

"To discover my presence in such a manner, it appears that you’re indeed not simple," the man commented, ceasing his clapping.

"Your sort of person wouldn’t recklessly attack Cai Yuancheng over a minor profit, there must be someone behind you, right?" Chen Wei directly asked.

"That’s none of your business, a man about to die need not ask so many questions," the man said disdainfully.

He naturally harbored resentment towards Chen Wei. If it hadn’t been for Chen Wei’s intervention in removing the Insect Gu from Cai Yuancheng, his plan would have soon succeeded, and he would have received a hefty bounty.

With that bounty, he wouldn’t have to worry about money for the rest of his life. He could do whatever he wanted, buy whatever he desired, and sleep with any woman he pleased.

But all of this had been shattered because of Chen Wei’s interference.

The man planned to eliminate Chen Wei and then sneak into the Cai Family to seize the opportunity to reintroduce the Insect Gu into Cai Yuancheng’s body.

The payment was substantial enough to warrant taking the risk.

"A man about to die? Those who have said that to me, if not ten thousand, then at least a thousand. Most of them were stronger than you," Chen Wei turned around, looking indifferently at the man, "They couldn’t kill me, what makes you think you can?"

"What makes me think I can?" The man chuckled, "It seems like you have no idea about the terror of our Miaojiang’s Gu Technique. I can kill you—no, not just you, anyone—without making a sound, killing them unseen and formless!"

"Heh, is that so? Well, try it then. I’m standing right here, giving you a chance," Chen Wei stood still, saying nothing, doing nothing, exposing his most vulnerable side to the man.

For the man, this was an insult, a mockery. He gritted his teeth and chuckled darkly, "Fine! Since you’re asking for death, you can’t blame me."

He concealed his hand behind his back, flicked the cap off with his thumb, and a Mosquito Gu flew out.

The man pursed his lips, whistling softly.

The Mosquito Gu immediately changed direction and flew towards Chen Wei.

Seeing that the Mosquito Gu was getting closer to Chen Wei, who remained oblivious, a smirk formed on the man’s lips, waiting for Chen Wei to be poisoned and die.

"What’s happening?!"

But the very next second, the man’s expression changed.

The Mosquito Gu, which had been mere centimeters from touching Chen Wei’s skin to inject its toxin through its proboscis, suddenly turned back towards him.

Halfway through its flight, the insect fell to the ground, lifeless and unmoving.

"What, what exactly did you do!" the man frantically questioned Chen Wei.

"As a Gu Master, you mustn’t be unfamiliar with Dragon Soul Fragrance?" Chen Wei retorted.

"Dragon Soul Fragrance... Dragon Soul Fragrance!" The man was utterly shocked, "the legendary method said to repel thousands of beasts and insects!"

He slightly lifted his head and took a sniff, indeed detecting in the air a scent that was not of vegetation but artificially concocted.

"Impossible, Dragon Soul Fragrance has been lost for a hundred years, how could you possibly have it?" The man couldn’t believe it and was convinced that Chen Wei must be deceiving him.

He then took out a small bottle, releasing a poisonous spider from inside.

This spider was also known as the Jumping Spider, which, as the name suggests, could leap, covering two meters in a single bound!

It was even more poisonous than the Mosquito Gu he had used just now, and likewise, it was harder to cultivate.

"This time, you are undoubtedly dead!" the man declared.

However, a familiar scene once again unfolded.

Mid-leap, the poisonous spider suddenly stopped.

Then, it turned belly up, struggling for a moment, and just like the Mosquito Gu, it died.

"Dragon Soul Fragrance! It really is the Dragon Soul Fragrance!" Now the man fully believed Chen Wei indeed possessed the Dragon Soul Fragrance.

Centuries ago, the Gu Techniques of Miaojiang were nearly eradicated because of this very substance.

It took the combined efforts of all Gu Masters in the world to kill the only person who knew how to make Dragon Soul Fragrance; only then could the Gu Techniques of Miaojiang continue to be passed down.

Of course, whether this was legend or fact, the man couldn’t be certain.

What he could be sure of at this moment was that, with the presence of the Dragon Soul Fragrance, his Gu Techniques were completely ineffective against Chen Wei.

Would he have to resort to close combat and poisoning?

The man reached behind his back and drew a small knife.

On the blade was the concentrated venom of the Centipede King from a hundred days, fatal upon blood contact!

As a Gu Master, the man was not limited to deploying Insect Gu.

His combat skills in close quarters were no less than his prowess in using the Gu.

"Dragon Soul Fragrance only works on beasts and insects, it has no effect on humans. I want to see what you’ll do to dodge this knife," the man said, taking two steps in the space of three, approaching Chen Wei with a confident and proud smile.

This knife, he was absolutely certain, would end Chen Wei’s life.

Whoosh!

A cold light flashed as he violently swung the knife.

Chen Wei took a large step backward, avoiding the sharp edge of the blade.

"What!"

Taking advantage of the man’s surprise, and his inability to change his offensive stance in time, Chen Wei did a complete 360-degree turn in place and delivered a fierce kick to the man’s wrist.

"Hiss!" The man winced in pain, his face contorted, unable to keep his grip on the handle of the knife.

The blade immediately flew off like an arrow released from a bow.

Thump!

The entire blade buried itself into a tree, nailing it in place, with cracks widening and extending to several inches.

The man’s wrist was nearly bent at a ninety-degree angle, shattered, the pain unbearable, tears streaming down his face, "It hurts! It hurts so much!"

At that moment, without saying a word, Chen Wei bent down to pick up the dead body of the poisonous spider and started walking towards the man.

The man’s eyes widened with immense fear, "Wait! What, what are you going to do! I warn you, don’t mess around. If anything happens to me, the lineage of the Miaojiang Gu Techniques will never let you off!"
