Chapter 159: Chapter 0159: The Past is Like Smoke
"Dad!" Ouyang Die called out anxiously.
However, Chu Ge did not comply immediately, but slightly furrowed his brows and hummed softly. Like fire, his True Yuan instantly cleansed Ouyang Kangshi’s body.
Due to the massive output of True Yuan in that instant, Ouyang Kangshi screamed in pain, and fine black beads of blood began to seep from the pores all over his body, looking particularly sinister.
"Mr. Chu..." Ouyang Die’s face suddenly turned pale, fearing that something bad had happened to her father.
Chu Ge patted her on the shoulder, "Don’t worry, Family Head Ouyang is all right now. He just needs to take a bath to cleanse the filth from his body. I’m going to check on the Old Master now!"
After saying that, without waiting for a response from the two, he quickly moved upstairs.
This area was clearly a disaster zone, even the floor was showing some black patterns, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
The poison deployed by the Ghost Poison Sect was insidious in that it was completely colorless and odorless before it fully erupted, and even those poisoned wouldn’t feel any abnormalities in their bodies.
The entire second floor was essentially a bedroom, and as Chu Ge approached the door, his steps involuntarily paused.
The bedroom door of Mr. Ouyang was enveloped in a layer of black mist. This mist was invisible to ordinary people, but for Chu Ge, it couldn’t hide; if ordinary people touched it, they’d be instantly poisoned. Even Martial Artists, unless they were at the Innate level, would be poisoned.
"Hmph, petty tricks!"
Chu Ge snorted coldly, circulated his True Qi to his fingertips, and then lightly touched the door.
"Hiss hiss hiss—" A sound like water poured on a red-hot iron slab rang out, and within a few seconds, the black air on the door dissipated, and simultaneously, a line of blood-red characters also appeared.
"Killing my disciples, seizing their treasures, your crimes deserve death! Ouyang Family is merely an initial offering, are you satisfied?"
Just looking at the blood-red characters, one could feel an intensely evil and murderous aura assaulting them.
However, Chu Ge did not show any fear. Instead, his face grew more somber, and a cold killing intent shone in his eyes, "Hmph, Ghost Poison Sect? Since the game has started, there will be no stopping until people are dead!"
In fact, Chu Ge wasn’t originally harboring much intent to kill, but the actions of the Ghost Poison Sect had led him to decide that none of their disciples in Shanghai shall return alive!
He pushed the door open, and a pungent stench immediately wafted out.
Mr. Ouyang was half-lying on the bed, black blood continually flowed out from places like his eyes and ears, presenting a horrible sight.
However, because Chu Ge had previously treated him and left a trail of True Qi inside his body, the toxins within Mr. Ouyang’s body could only slowly corrode from the outside in, and for now, hadn’t yet damaged his heart vessels.
Seeing Chu Ge enter, Mr. Ouyang barely opened his eyes filled with black blood, showing a miserable smile, "Mr. Chu, the old man has finally waited for you!"
"Don’t talk yet!" Chu Ge’s brows were tightly knotted as he quickly walked to the bedside and placed his palm on Mr. Ouyang’s back.
A few seconds later, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the heart, brain, and other major organs, shielded by his residual True Qi, hadn’t yet been corroded by the toxins, but this layer of True Qi was also very weak. He believed if he had arrived any later, he would have only seen a decaying corpse!
"Mr. Chu, this old man has been through countless storms over the years and has long come to terms with life and death, so don’t hesitate, just tell me directly whether there is hope or not."
It must be said, Mr. Ouyang’s detachment in the face of death was indeed touching.
Chu Ge shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, Old Master, it’s not as serious as you think, but I didn’t expect them to be so bold."
While saying this, Chu Ge placed his other hand on Mr. Ouyang’s back as well, circulated his True Qi, and began to slowly eliminate the toxins in his body.
As soon as the True Qi entered his body, it resonated with the previously left True Qi, and the toxins began to rapidly dissolve.
At the same time, Mr. Ouyang furrowed his brows and said, "Mr. Chu, you seem to know the instigator of this incident?"
"Um." Chu Ge nodded, hesitated, and then said, "I don’t know if the Old Master is aware, but this world actually harbors some forces that are different from ordinary people!"
"Hmm?" Mr. Ouyang’s expression changed, probing, "Is Mr. Chu referring to... those Ancient Martial Sects passed down from ancient times and hidden from the secular world?"
"So the Old Master knows?" Chu Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, reducing the input of True Qi a bit as the toxins in Mr. Ouyang’s body had already reduced significantly.
"Of course."
Mr. Ouyang nodded, his tone tinged with reminiscence, "Back when I was still at war, there was once when our troops were besieged by the enemy in a small village, we were truly surrounded on all sides!"
As he spoke, his gaze gradually became blurry, his thoughts transcending the limits of time, returning to that era of warfare.
"At that time, we only had a platoon’s strength, and our weapons were severely lacking. On average, two people shared one gun, and each person only had twenty bullets! But the enemy had an entire battalion, their weapons were far superior to ours, they even had several small cannons!"
Mr. Ouyang sighed, continuing, "The platoon leader said then that at all costs, the villagers must be safely evacuated. But how could that be possible? Even if our people were all killed, we couldn’t break the encirclement."
"Real wars aren’t as easy as they appear on TV; most of our men were conscripted halfway through and some hadn’t even undergone training, they were new soldiers. The enemy, however, were all regular forces, well-armed. We hadn’t been fighting for even a minute and half of our platoon had fallen. Did you know, our bullets were all used up, and the platoon leader ordered to fix bayonets!"
Mr. Ouyang’s body trembled, and his face reddened from congestion: "It was a situation of total annihilation. Just at that moment, Old Chen from the village, carrying an Ancient Sword, walked out."
"We all knew Old Chen, when stationed in that village, he often told old stories to the young men in the team. The platoon leader had already hoarsely shouted for him to run quickly. The enemy noticed Old Chen too, we all thought he was done for, not even ten lives would be enough!"
"And then?"
It must be said, the story Mr. Ouyang told genuinely stirred emotions. Although Chu Ge usually acted mature, after all, he was just in his twenties. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but ask softly.
"And then, Old Chen drew his sword!"
