Chapter 337: Chapter 0337 Poison and Gang Qi

"You..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Tong’s complexion slightly changed. Although Tang Ming’s attacks did not cause him substantial harm, being repeatedly struck by a Half-step Martial Master was a blow to his dignity, at least in the eyes of the onlookers, where Tang Ming seemed to have the upper hand.

"Good lad, today I will let you witness what a true martial master is."

Ma Tong roared angrily, unleashing his fists and feet, and as he moved, a faint halo appeared around his body.

"Gang Qi?"

Tang Ming’s face changed slightly, he had known previously that martial masters could condense Gang Qi, but facing such a high-level expert head-on for the first time still shocked him.

"Correct, this is the Gang Qi that only true martial masters can condense."

Ma Tong smirked proudly, squinting as he said, "Now with my Gang Qi protecting my body, if you attack me again, my Gang Qi will be enough to injure you. What will you do now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Tong took the initiative to attack, charging at Tang Ming with his body enveloped in Gang Qi.

Tang Ming quickly used his movement technique to dodge Ma Tong’s attack, pondering whether he should test the strength of the Gang Qi.

In the following minutes, Ma Tong still failed to touch Tang Ming’s body, while Tang Ming kept observing Ma Tong’s Gang Qi and did not rashly launch an attack.

"No good, continuing like this is consuming too much of my stamina."

Tang Ming silently analyzed. "In the current situation, I only have two methods to win: one is to use poison, but using poison in a martial duel is dishonorable, and the old master has instructed not to use Poison Attack lightly. The other is to continue attacking Ma Tong’s body as I did before. Although my attacks can’t cause him serious harm, as long as the frequency is high enough, constant dripping wears away the stone, even if he is a steel plate, I can break him down."

After some analysis, Tang Ming temporarily decided to continue with guerrilla tactics, not to use Poison Skill unless absolutely necessary, and now he wanted to first test how strong the rebound from the opponent’s Gang Qi actually was.

Seizing an opening, Tang Ming dodged a kick from Ma Tong, moved behind him, and punched at his back.

"Bang"

A muffled sound occurred, Tang Ming’s fist was repelled by the elusive Gang Qi before it could make contact with Ma Tong’s body.

"Haha, didn’t I say your attacks could no longer harm me?"

Ma Tong turned around and aimed a punch at Tang Ming’s head.

"Indeed troublesome." Tang Ming quickly retreated, dodging Ma Tong’s fist, while staring intensely at the Gang Qi on his body, and then...

"Why is there a trace of black Qi within his Gang Qi, and it’s flickering too? This isn’t quite like the Gang Qi I know!"

Tang Ming grew suspicious in his mind because he noticed that the Gang Qi Ma Tong had condensed wasn’t pure.

After staring at the black energy within the Gang Qi for a while, Tang Ming suddenly rejoiced:

"Poisoned, this old guy has been poisoned for a long time since he just broke through to being a martial master. Although the poison was removed later, since he was poisoned during his breakthrough, some of the poison mingled with the Gang Qi and entered a dormant phase."

This discovery thrilled Tang Ming. This kind of dormant poison was the most dangerous, it might never erupt in a lifetime, but because it had been dormant for so long, once it erupted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Having witnessed the power of Gang Qi, are you still not convinced?"

Ma Tong looked at Tang Ming coldly, feeling very irritable, because in the current situation, although Tang Ming couldn’t get close to him, he also couldn’t hit Tang Ming.

"Since you can’t hit me anyway, and I’m already in an impregnable position, at worst we would just draw. Why should I give up?"

Tang Ming smiled faintly, his eyes glittering as he stared at Ma Tong, "And who says I definitely can’t deal with you?"

"You insolent boy, you really have no idea how high the sky is. Since that’s the case, then I’ll see how long you can last."

Ma Tong snorted coldly and continued to attack Tang Ming.

Tang Ming continued to use his movement technique to dodge the opponent’s attacks, but as time went on, he began to speed up the frequency of his counterattacks, continually attacking Ma Tong’s Gang Qi with his fingers.

Facing Tang Ming’s seemingly ineffective attacks, which were akin to scratching the itch through the boot, Ma Tong was particularly disdainful, feeling that the strength of the attacks had greatly decreased, which boosted his confidence.

Ma Tong didn’t notice that Tang Ming’s current target for each attack was the dark energy in his Gang Qi, and each touch was brief like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Half an hour later, a breathless Tang Ming and Ma Tong separated, returning to a standoff.

"You’re quite tired, aren’t you?" Ma Tong looked at Tang Ming indifferently and disdainfully said,

"Your attacks are ineffective against me, but dodging my attacks will consume a lot of your strength. If we continue to fight, you will undoubtedly lose."

"Is that so? You’re too confident in yourself, unfortunately," Tang Ming straightened up and squinted his eyes as he said,

"If I’m not wrong, you’ve already been poisoned."

"Nonsense, I’m in perfect health right now, so stop your gibberish."

Ma Tong scoffed dismissively, not believing Tang Ming’s words at all, having been poisoned before but having detoxified a long time ago.

"If you don’t believe me, take a look at the palm of your right hand."

Tang Ming straightened his clothes, smiling as he spoke.

"Hmph, let’s see what..." Ma Tong, unconcerned, raised his hand to look, and his face suddenly changed:

"How could this happen?"

By then, the palm of Ma Tong’s right hand had turned dark black, and it seemed to be spreading.

"Take this!" In the moment Ma Tong was distracted, Tang Ming got up and attacked, his palms condensing power as he fiercely struck towards Ma Tong’s chest.

"Courting death." Although he didn’t understand why he had been poisoned, seeing Tang Ming actually make a move, Ma Tong immediately raised his palms, ready to withstand Tang Ming’s attack.

"Crack!" A muffled sound was heard, Ma Tong’s Gang Qi explosively dispersed, and he simultaneously felt completely powerless.

"Bang!"

Their palms met, and Ma Tong’s body, like a kite with its string cut, was sent flying out of the ring.

"Father (Grandfather)."

Seeing Ma Tong being knocked away by Tang Ming, the people from the Ma Family hurriedly rushed over.

"Pfft!" Ma Tong, trying to stand up after falling on the ground, suddenly spit out a large mouthful of dark black blood.

"I really was poisoned?" Ma Tong stared in disbelief at the black bloodstain on the ground.

"Old man, I win this match."

Tang Ming walked to the edge of the ring, smiling as he looked at Ma Tong.

"I, I lost!"

Ma Tong lowered his head in defeat, without being dishonest, "The rights to develop the slum area are yours now. From now on, my Ma Family will no longer interfere in anything related to the slum area, and Ma Family disciples will also stop troubling you."

"No way. This bastard used poison, that’s absolutely despicable."

Ma Benyue growled through clenched teeth, "I refuse to believe we still can’t handle him if all of us from the Ma Family attack together."
