Chapter 200: Chapter 020 Poison This Kid to Death

At the side of Long Duba, Mei Dufeng stood with his head bowed at the bedside, just like a child who had done something wrong!

Long Duba was like a brother and a father to Mei Dufeng, naturally instilling great fear in him, and it was all the more so now that he had indeed botched matters; he had no idea how to clean up such a mess.

"Senior Brother, you better come up with a plan quick. That kid is tough to handle, and our attempt to use the Five Poison Colored Soil as leverage against him seems to have failed."

Mei Dufeng said dejectedly.

"Hmph, that was your own brilliant idea, and now that you can’t handle the kid, you come running to me for advice. You really know how to cause trouble for me,"

Long Duba scolded sharply as he opened his eyes.

"Senior Brother, I know I was wrong. I’ll accept any punishment you decide, but if we can’t bring back the Detoxification Pill this time, and after spending so much money, the Sect Master is sure to blame us."

Mei Dufeng pleaded.

"At least you understand the gravity of the situation. The Detoxification Pill is a must-have. Without it, our Poison Sect’s business will be difficult to conduct in the future." Long Duba thought for a moment, then suddenly said with a sinister smile:

"Since the kid is so troublesome, let’s just go all out and finish him off!"

"Senior Brother, we’re currently in the territory of several Martial Arts Families. If we make a move here, it could offend them and be disadvantageous to our Poison Sect," Mei Dufeng said, worried.

"No matter. As long as it’s done cleverly, no one will be able to trace it back to us. Besides, since the auction has ended, the Martial Arts Families probably won’t meddle too much."

Long Duba chuckled coldly and instructed Mei Dufeng, "Go make a deal with that kid. If he wants money, give him money; if he wants the Five Poison Colored Soil, give it to him, and slip him an extra gift on the side."

"What gift?"

Mei Dufeng asked, puzzled.

"A lethal poison," Long Duba slowly said.

"That won’t work. The kid is strong; ordinary poisons are useless against him,"

Mei Dufeng argued, shaking his head.

"Who said anything about ordinary poisons?" Long Duba took out a small red porcelain bottle from his pocket.

Mei Dufeng’s eyes suddenly lit up, and with a delighted expression, he said:

"Senior Brother, is this the ’Bone Corrosive Blood Erosion Powder’?"

"Correct. The Myriad Poison Pill I previously used was neutralized by his Detoxification Pill. I contacted the Sect the very night and had another potent poison sent for the auction. It’s unfortunate that we missed the sale, but now it seems it has found its use,"

Long Duba explained, "Later, you’ll smear this powder on the box containing the Five Poison Colored Soil. As soon as that kid touches it, the poison will get on his palms, and he will definitely be poisoned."

"Haha, the Bone Corrosive Blood Erosion Powder is a slow-acting poison. Once infected, it will take two to three hours for the poison to cause death, and death is certain. Then I will make another trip to the kid’s room and take back the money and the Five Poison Colored Soil, so we won’t suffer any losses,"

Mei Dufeng laughed excitedly, as if he had already seen Tang Ming succumb to the poison.

"Good, go and get it done. You cannot fail again," Long Duba commanded, then closed his eyes once more, continuing his feigned rest.

Mei Dufeng took the small porcelain bottle and began to prepare. Ten minutes later, he directly had Long Yi go to room 302 to bring Tang Ming out for a transaction.

The meeting place was still in the restaurant, but it was now empty. Almost no one was left, with only the waitstaff and chefs cleaning up. Mei Dufeng sat on a chair with a wooden box in front of him, containing the very Five Poison Colored Soil.

Tang Ming was called out by Long Yi and approached Mei Dufeng’s table, asking directly, "Have you made up your mind?"

"I have," Mei Dufeng looked at Tang Ming and said,

"My senior brother said we should just consider it making a new friend, and we’ll just accept the loss this time."

"Heh, had you thought this way earlier, you wouldn’t have lost so much," Tang Ming pointed at the wooden box and asked, "Is that the Five Poison Colored Soil?"

"Genuine as they come," Mei Dufeng reached out, gently slid open the lid of the wooden box, and in an instant, bands of light flickered out. It was indeed a clump of colorful soil, and a strange, fragrant aroma instantly pervaded the air.

This Five Poison Colored Soil contained intense poison; even the scent it emitted was toxic. Mei Dufeng quickly covered the box again, then turned to Tang Ming and asked,

"Where’s the Detoxification Pill we want?"

"Right here with me," Tang Ming reached into his pocket, and with a flick of his hand, a pale, blood-colored elixir appeared in the center of his palm like a dough ball.

On seeing the appearance of the Detoxification Pill, Mei Dufeng couldn’t help frowning, "Is this the Detoxification Pill?"

"Don’t you trust me?"

Tang Ming chuckled, "Why don’t you try it out then?"

"Never mind," Mei Dufeng shook his head, still half doubting as he said, "I’ll believe you this once."

"Rest assured, if I say it’s a Detoxification Pill, there’s no mistake," Tang Ming said, then added, "And the thirty million?"

Reluctantly, Mei Dufeng took out a bank card from his pocket, but Tang Ming said, "Why make it so complicated, why not just transfer it directly to me?"

"Cash in hand, goods in the other, it’s our way. Go and check if the money’s right!" Mei Dufeng promptly handed the bank card over.

Tang Ming took the wooden box with the Five Poison Colored Soil and bank card in hand and thought for a moment, but didn’t check it, feeling that this time the Poison Sect’s people probably wouldn’t cause trouble. After handing over the Detoxification Pill, he stood up and said,

"Pleasure doing business, thank you."

Watching Tang Ming’s retreating figure as he left the restaurant, Mei Dufeng cursed fiercely in his heart,

"Really think the Poison Sect’s money is so easy to take? Just wait and see what’s coming for you kid."

After securing the Detoxification Pill, Mei Dufeng went straight back to his room. It would take two to three hours for the Bone Corrosive Blood Erosion Powder to fully take effect, and he could use this time to wait.

Tang Ming returned to his room with the wooden box and the bank card, his brow suddenly furrowed. When his hand touched the wooden box earlier, he had sensed something was amiss. People from the Poison Sect were most adept at poisoning, yet he was not afraid of Poison, so he hadn’t minded it, but now, with a faint attempt to cultivate his Martial Energy True Qi, he discovered that the poison really was formidable—it could actually penetrate through the skin of his palm and into his body.

Putting down the wooden box and bank card, Tang Ming sat down directly on the bed, ready to begin to cultivate and refine the intense poison.

Just then, Su Xiaoxi burst in, pushing open the door, and upon seeing Tang Ming pale on the bed exclaimed, "Tang Ming, what’s wrong with you?"

"Close the door, I might have been poisoned," Tang Ming said with difficulty and began to sit cross-legged.

Su Xiaoxi got a fright and quickly locked the door, but didn’t know what had happened to Tang Ming! Suddenly Tang Ming’s face turned bright red, his forehead covered in sweat. As soon as he started cultivating, the intense poison inside his body became more violent, setting him ablaze from head to toe, the high temperature continuously searing his body...
