Chapter 508: Chapter 0508: Tang Ming’s Swagger

Not knowing how much time had passed, Tang Ming, who sat cross-legged in the laboratory, exhaled a long, turbid breath; the darkness that had once shrouded his body was now gone, leaving his skin even whiter and more delicate.

The moment he opened his eyes, two solid-like beams of light flickered in his pupils, shining like the bright, twinkling stars.

"Five-star peak."

Tang Ming uttered these four words and slowly got to his feet. His movements were slow, but his body emitted a series of crackling sounds like popping beans.

"Refreshing!"

After the crackling sounds subsided, Tang Ming excitedly moved his body. This misfortune had turned into a blessing, after ingesting so many poisons at the Poison Sect, not only had his meridians recovered, but his cultivation had also made leaps and bounds. He felt an urge to roar triumphantly to the heavens.

"Where has everyone gone?"

After calming his emotions, Tang Ming began to look around in confusion. The researchers who had previously been bustling about were now nowhere to be seen; the spacious laboratory was left with only him.

Completely unclear about the situation, Tang Ming couldn’t be bothered to ponder and strode toward the laboratory’s main door.

The people of the Poison Sect had thought he had no cultivation and was merely a common man; they didn’t set up any defense systems around the laboratory that held him captive, and the reinforced bulletproof glass meant nothing to Tang Ming now.

Tang Ming kicked open the door and then strutted out.

He had no intention of staying any longer; his cultivation as a five-star martial master was enough for Tang Ming to come and go freely within the Poison Sect without worrying about being killed.

Humming a tune, Tang Ming strolled leisurely to the entrance of the Yunhai compound.

When Tang Ming pushed the door open and saw the scene before him, he was instantly dumbfounded.

By then, the courtyard of the Yunhai compound was strewn with corpses and rivers of blood; many Poison Sect disciples lay in pools of their blood.

"What happened? Was the Poison Sect attacked?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brows and quickly walked outside, then saw two groups confronting each other. In between the two factions, Xin Badao and Chu Batian were giving it their all in a fight that was difficult to resolve.

After a fierce melee, the subordinates of Xin Badao and Chu Batian separated, standing aside to watch the battle between Chu Batian and Xin Badao.

The struggle had come to such a point that everyone knew the key to determining the outcome of this conflict rested on Xin Badao and Chu Batian; the victor of the two would emerge as the winner of this power struggle, and the loser’s fate would be annihilation.

Chu Batian and Xin Badao were both five-star powerhouses. As long as either of them could take down his opponent, the rest of their underlings would amount to nothing.

After some time fighting, the battle remained deadlocked, with no one able to get the upper hand over the other in the short term.

Chu Batian dared to initiate the rebellion because his strength was in no way inferior to that of Xin Badao; if Xin Badao hadn’t relied on his youthful energy, he might not necessarily have been Chu Batian’s match.

"Old man, I didn’t expect your cultivation to be so strong. You’ve been hiding it well over the years!" Xin Badao commented mockingly as he fought.

"It’s the same for both of us. I used to think you were just at the peak of four-star, but you actually made a breakthrough to five-star. I underestimated you,"

Chu Batian said relievedly, after exchanging a palm strike with Xin Badao, "Luckily you didn’t get the Detoxification Pill, otherwise, you really wouldn’t be a match for me."

"I knew you old bastard were interrogating Tang Ming in secret in order to get the Detoxification Pill to deal with me."

Hearing this, Xin Badao snorted coldly and continued his assault with a crazed look on his face.

"Whoever gets the Detoxification Pill reigns over the Poison Sect. Now that neither of us has the Detoxification Pill, let’s see whose skills are superior,"

Chu Batian roared angrily and also launched a ferocious attack.

With matters having escalated to this point, Chu Batian and Xin Badao had completely torn their facades apart, and today was destined to be a battle to the death.

Both sides were tensely watching the two strong fighters engaged in battle, aware that their own lives and future fate depended on the outcome of the fight.

Just as Yan Dujiu, wearing a poison mask, clenched his fists and watched the battle before him with tension, a curious voice suddenly rang in his ear, "What’s going on here, why are they fighting each other?"

"Is that even a question, Chu Batian is attempting a coup, initiating a rebellion, haven’t you seen..."

Yan Dujiu’s words were cut off mid-sentence as he suddenly recognized the voice as familiar, whirling around to look behind him, he then widened his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "How did you get out?"

"And you’re still wearing a mask, trying to look cool, huh."

Tang Ming reached out and pulled off Yan Dujiu’s poison mask, grinning broadly, "Your mixed poison couldn’t kill me, and since no one was watching, I just came out!"

"How, how is that possible?"

Yan Dujiu was utterly baffled. He knew very well the toxicity of the mixed poison; how could Tang Ming be completely unaffected? Moreover, even though the laboratory wasn’t particularly sturdy, it was still made of bulletproof glass. How could Tang Ming, a normal person with completely depleted cultivation, have managed to get out?

"What’s so impossible, I’m already out, step aside."

Tang Ming pushed Yan Dujiu aside with his hand and strode towards the two people in the midst of their decisive battle, shouting loudly:

"Stop fighting, your strengths are matched, if you continue, it will only result in mutual destruction."

"Tang Ming."

Upon hearing the voice, Chu Batian and Xin Badao simultaneously ceased fighting, looking towards Tang Ming with surprise and suspicion, quickly circulating their cultivation to recover their strength. They had been fighting for so long that their True Qi had been significantly depleted.

"How come you are unharmed?" Xin Badao furrowed his brow in disbelief, "Even I can’t withstand the toxicity of the mixed poison, how did you survive?"

"Hehe, I have a Detoxification Pill," Tang Ming said with a weird laugh, making up an excuse.

"Impossible, we’ve searched you, how could you possibly have a Detoxification Pill?"

Yan Dujiu was the first to shout in response.

"This only proves that the Poison Sect’s search wasn’t thorough enough, not only did they not find my Detoxification Pill, but they also made me immune to all poisons, thanks a lot."

Tang Ming gave insincere thanks, his face full of pretense.

"The Detoxification Pill is on his body?" Chu Batian paused for a moment, then immediately turned to Long Duba and Mei Dufeng, yelling:

"Kill him, seize the Detoxification Pill."

"Yan Dujiu, we absolutely can’t let the Detoxification Pill fall into their hands."

Xin Badao also hurriedly shouted out loud.

With Chu Batian and Xin Badao’s powers nearly evenly matched, if either managed to consume the Detoxification Pill first, they could ignore the other’s Poison Skill and instantly achieve victory; therefore, they both wanted to seize the Detoxification Pill immediately.

Restrained by each other, Chu Batian and Xin Badao couldn’t act directly, so Long Duba, Yan Dujiu, and Mei Dufeng had no choice but to quickly rush towards Tang Ming.

"Tang Ming, if I had known earlier that you hid the Detoxification Pill on yourself, I would have chopped you into pieces long ago."

As Long Duba charged towards Tang Ming, he roared through gritted teeth!
