Li Tongtian, closely pursuing from behind, saw a black bottle flying towards them. Instantaneously on high alert, he stopped in his tracks and loudly ordered those behind him to retreat.
But it was too late. The black bottle shattered upon hitting the icy ground, and a puff of green smoke began to spread in all directions.
"What is that smell? Why is it so fragrant?"
"No good! This scent might be poisonous!"
"Quick, fall back! Don't breathe in that aroma!"
...
Many disciples of the Li Family retreated, some with faces filled with fear. Li Tongtian retreated the fastest and didn't inhale the scent, but quite a few people were still shrouded in the green smoke and breathed in some of it.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Instantly, the Li Family disciples who had inhaled the green smoke began to choke violently. It wasn't one or two, but more than a dozen disciples of the Li family all started coughing, doubling over in pain.
