Chapter 474: Chapter 0474: Let You Try the New Medicine

"Alright!"

Yan Dujiu responded and immediately took out a small glass bottle containing white liquid from his pocket, then had someone open the cell door.

Chu Batian looked at Yan Dujiu, holding the poison in his hand, puzzled. He had never heard of any bone-corroding, tendon-splitting scattering powder from the Poison Sect. Maybe it was a newly developed poison.

"Hehehe!"

After entering the cell, Yan Dujiu looked at Tang Ming with a strange smile, lifting the small bottle and said,

"Mr Tang, do you know what this is?"

"What else can there be in the Poison Sect? Just poison!" Tang Ming scoffed dismissively. If it had been before, he would have looked down upon poison, but now that his cultivation was depleted and his Poison Skill could no longer be used, he indeed felt a bit of trepidation.

"This isn’t just any ordinary poison," Yan Dujiu licked his tongue, introducing with excitement,

"This is a slow-acting, severe poison I’ve recently developed. The victim will endure suffering so great they’d wish they were dead; once every hour, you will experience agony as though ten thousand tiny insects were gnawing at your bones. Your muscles will atrophy and your meridians will spasm, making it unbearably painful. Only the antidote I’ve developed can provide temporary relief."

"Of course!" Yan Dujiu changed his tone, saying venomously,

"This poison will only make you wish for death, it definitely won’t harm your life. It will act twenty-four times a day; you won’t have any chance to sleep. It won’t be long before you break down mentally and beg us to kill you."

"Sect Master, Yan Dujiu has developed such a ruthless new poison, and I, as the Great Elder, knew nothing about it. Isn’t that a bit too much?"

Listening to Yan Dujiu’s description, Chu Batian looked unhappily towards Xin Badao. From its effects, this bone-corroding, tendon-splitting powder was clearly intended to control people, yet Xin Badao deliberately kept it a secret—the reason was only one.

"Hehe, this is a poison that Yan Dujiu has just succeeded in developing, it’s still in the trial phase and hasn’t been introduced to the market. That’s why the Great Elder wouldn’t know,"

Xin Badao replied with a calm smile on his face, speaking indifferently, "After all, Yan Dujiu has the antidote. What is there for the Great Elder to worry about?"

"I was just asking."

Chu Batian responded and then didn’t say anything more, cursing in his mind; this was definitely a poison Xin Badao developed to deal with those who were disobedient.

"Is it as fiendish as you say?" Tang Ming looked at Yan Dujiu skeptically,

"I, Tang Ming, am not scared easily. After so many years in Jianghu, I have seen all kinds of scenes; I want to see just how your poison will affect me."

"Foolish thing! If that is the case, then I shall fulfill your wish."

Yan Dujiu cursed loudly, grabbed Tang Ming’s mouth, and poured the bottle of poison into his mouth.

"Just wait and enjoy the agony when the poison acts."

After administering the poison to Tang Ming, Yan Dujiu stepped back and watched Tang Ming excitedly.

The people outside the cell also grew tense, waiting to see Tang Ming’s reaction.

"Before, I had Poison Skill to protect me. I could neutralize any poison. Now that my cultivation is gone, I don’t know if my body can still fend off the poison."

After drinking the poison, Tang Ming thought anxiously to himself, and then...

"Ah!"

The next moment, Tang Ming let out a heart-wrenching scream, then collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

At this time, the muscles on Tang Ming’s body twisted together like twisted dough, his limbs spasming simultaneously, and his bound body contorted unrecognizably.

The most terrifying was Tang Ming’s expression, his eyes wide open, drool running freely, his face flushed red, drenched in sweat—this was the expression of someone in extreme pain.

"This is the first attack,"

Yan Dujiu watched Tang Ming with excitement, exceptionally thrilled every time he saw the effects of the poison he had studied take hold.

"Just, just a trifle!"

In extreme pain, Tang Ming gritted his teeth and forced out a few words. Back in the day when he was cultivating his Poison Skill, he endured much suffering. Yet, he had to admit the power of Yan Dujiu’s poison was truly terrifying.

"Hehe, keep denying! This is only the first attack. From now on, it’s every hour, and each one will be more painful than the last."

Yan Dujiu watched Tang Ming with a cold smirk, playfully saying, "If you know what’s good for you, you’ll tell us now where the Detoxification Pill really came from, otherwise, you will keep suffering in this worse-than-death state."

"No way," Tang Ming rolled his eyes, yelling resolutely.

"Hmph, if that’s the case, then just continue to enjoy it."

Yan Dujiu snorted coldly, turned, and walked out of the cell, without looking back, said, "Among the previous experiment subjects, the one with the strongest willpower lasted only three days. I’m curious to see how long you’ll last."

Tang Ming lay on the ground convulsing, but didn’t beg for mercy.

"Sect Master, let’s leave for now." After leaving the cell, Yan Dujiu turned to Chu Batian and said,

"This Tang Ming is after all a martial master, strong-willed. He should be able to last the first day. We’ll come to interrogate him tomorrow, the effect will be better."

"Good!" Xin Badao trusted Yan Dujiu highly. Hearing this, he nodded and looking at Tang Ming said,

"Consider this carefully, if you wish to cooperate with us, notify Yan Dujiu through my men at any time. For now, only he has the antidote."

Xin Badao this time didn’t say to notify him, but instead asked them to inform Yan Dujiu, concerned that someone might falsify orders, acquiring Tang Ming’s testimony beforehand, reminding Tang Ming that only Yan Dujiu could counteract the poison, others wouldn’t suffice.

After speaking, Xin Badao turned and walked away.

Chu Batian cast a meaningful glance at Tang Ming, then followed Xin Badao out of the cell.

Long Duba and Mei Dufeng exchanged a glance, subtly communicating with a look before following the others out of the room.

The Bone-Crushing Muscle-Splitting Poison’s attack lasted only five minutes, but those five minutes felt like a lifetime to Tang Ming, primarily because of the agony.

"Good, good Bone-Crushing Muscle-Splitting Poison, truly makes me wish I were dead!"

Bathed in sweat, Tang Ming lay on the ground, gasping heavily.

Just as he was contemplating how to withstand the next attack of the poison, he felt his body starting to heat up, his muscles slowly recovering from their spasms. He estimated that once fully recovered, the next violent attack would begin.

"A dragon in shallow waters is teased by shrimp, a tiger in Pingyang is bullied by dogs."

Tang Ming grimly muttered to himself. In the past, when his cultivation was intact, even the Myriad Poison Pill of the Poison Sect could not harm him in the slightest. Yet now, just this Bone-Crushing Muscle-Splitting Poison caused him unbearable pain, a thought that was indeed quite sad.
