Ci An jumped at Yang Zhai with a poisoned knife from a very close distance. From this distance, it was impossible for Yang Zhai to dodge.
He hurriedly moved his right arm forward. While his right arm was moving forward to defend, his hands were also turning brown. He had also activated the Wooden-Fists Ka.
To him, defending himself came first right now. His right hand had barely arrived in front of himself when the poisoned knife landed on his right hand. The Wooden Fists Ka was still activating, but it was not completely activated when the knife landed on his right hand.
Yang Zhai felt pain. However, this was not what worried him, but that he felt a sensation come into his right hand.
"Poison," Yang Zhai's eyes narrowed.
"This is bad."
He hurriedly kicked Ci An away from himself and jumped back.
He did not know what kind of poison it was, but he could feel that the sensation was slowly traveling from his hand toward his arm.
"You are done for, this poison will kill you, hahaha hahaha!" Ci An laughed crazily.
"My revenge will finally be taken."
While she was speaking, Yang Zhai was doing something else. He hurriedly activated the Rank 2 Red Poison technique and spread it on the poisoned part of his right hand and towards the arm.
His hand and arm began to rot from wherever the Red poison touched. Not just that, the Red poison also rotted the surrounding area where it touched.
Yang Zhai was feeling extreme pain. His facial expression began to change. Even though he could endure this much pain, he still screamed.
AAAAAAAAAAAA!!
The reason was simple, this poison was extremely piercing and could kill a weak-willed person from just the pain. He used poison to neglect the effects of the poison.
Red Poison was extremely piercing and could rot away things: however, it was not like other poisons that affected a person's whole body like a virus. This poison could even rot other poisons because of its piercing ability.
Yang Zhai did not know how strong the poison given by Ci An was or what qualities it possessed. Therefore, he wasn't concerned about the pain and activated Red poison to stop the other poison from spreading into his body.
He could also cut his arm if he had no choice, and he would have done so if he had no other methods. However, he kept the damage to a minimum by activating the Red poison.
He was sure that there must be someone watching and protecting him, so he had to scream to not let others suspect him.
As it was said, a thousand times reinforced wall was weak when broken from the inside. Or a person could stop the sword of his enemy: however, it was impossible to stop the attack given by one's own.
Nobody expected that Ci An would attack him suddenly, after all, she was a daughter of a Bai clan elder, in a way, Yang Zhai's kin as both of them were from the same clan with the same ancestors.
So, the attack succeeded, even though not entirely.
Yang Zhai could also wait for the ones guarding him to come and save him: however, he did not believe anyone or rely on others and had to do everything himself.
There might be traitors in the ones guarding him, or the poison might spread in his entire body by the time they save him.
"How dare she? Elder, I will finish her for betraying the Clan." A woman hiding in a dark corner wanted to save Yang Zhai, however, she was stopped by someone.
"No, let's wait and see. I think he can handle everything himself."
"Elder, Yang Zhai can die." The woman retaliated and wanted to go help Yang Zhai.
"Are you rejecting my orders? I have said everything I needed to say, don't make me repeat again." The man spoke to the woman in a threatening way.
When the woman heard the man, she became quiet and looked at Yang Zhai again.
Let's see what you will do, Yang Zhai: The man thought to himself.
Ci An attacked Yang Zhai again. However, Yang Zhai was prepared and summoned a two feet long icicle. Then, he threw it at Ci An's leg with half of his strength.
The icicle pierced her left leg at full speed and was inserted into the pathway below after drilling a two inches hollow on Ci An's left leg knee.
ARGH!! AAAAA!!! AAAAAAAA!!!
Ci An screamed after the icicle pieced a hole in her left knee.
Yang Zhai walked up to Ci An.
"Let's start the display, but first, tell me, does your father know this?" Yang Zhai asked Ci An.
I doubt that Ci An's father —Cu Gil— knew anything about this. After all, Cu Gil is not so foolish as to send his own daughter to kill me. Especially when Cu Gil is an elder and must know that someone was surely ordered by the clan leader to watch over me all the time: So, Cu Gil surely did not send Ci An, then it must be someone from the Ma clan that took advantage of Ci An's hatred for me. But for that, someone from the inside must have leaked information about our classmates to the Ma clan. This means that someone in my class is a traitor: These were all Yang Zhai's thoughts.
However, not even a few seconds had passed in real-time. Thoughts were extremely faster than actions, especially instincts. Which appears to people in bulk at once.
"Why should I tell you?" Ci An saw Yang Zhai walk toward her and tried to stand.
Yang Zhai activated another technique and threw two more icicles at Ci An's right and left shoulder, rendering her ability to fight.
ARGH!!! AHHAAAAAAAA!!
"Well, then I will simply blame your father in front of the clan leader."
"Uh…, no it was not my father, it was…,"
Ci An became anxious after hearing Yang Zhai and spoke nervously.
But, before Ci An could say the name of the person who had asked her to kill Yang Zhai, a white needle size light came and went past both Ci An and Yang Zhai.
Yang Zhai could not see what it was or to what rank it belonged. Meaning, he was unable to sense any aura from the white light. There could only be two reasons for this: the first was that someone hid the aura by some method, and the second was that this method might have been activated by the power of the Black Sun.
He was a rank 3 and still could not see what the white needle size light belonged to, which meant that the second reason was more likely the reason.
And Yang Zhai saw Ci An's head bursting, and he was safe. It meant that the one to attack was most likely someone guarding him. Otherwise, he would have died already.
"How dare she betray our clan, she deserves to die." A man's voice entered Yang Zhai's ear.
Following the voice came a man and two women. Yang Zhai recognized all three of them.
"You are injured badly, let me heal you."
One of the two women came forward and looked at Yang Zhai's right arm.
When she saw Yang Zhai's right arm, her eyes widened.
What is this? Such a ruthless and piercing technique. How is he still standing straight? Even I would be screaming on the ground right now if I had been attacked by a method like this: this woman was a healing cultivator that could see what had happened to Yang Zhai's arm. She could feel more than others the pain that Yang Zhai must be feeling right now.
His right hand and arm had rotted away. His bones were also not spared from the Red poison.
"Ah," the woman touched Yang Zhai's wound that had been rotted by the Red poison with her right index finger. When she did this, her finger also began to rot.
"What happened?"
"Nothing."
What was that?! I can clearly feel that this technique is a rank 2 technique, but it can still affect me, and it is when this technique's power has almost subsided. I only touched the residue, and it affected me and can hurt me. It's not a normal technique. And it is still in effect and he is affected by such a large amount, which means that he must still be feeling excruciating pain, but is standing straight. This guy is not normal: the woman thought to herself. When she thought of this, she felt an inexplicable fear in the depths of her heart.
Only the residue of this technique affected her. She was also of higher rank than Yang Zhai, which meant that her skin was stronger than Yang Zhai, but she was still affected by the leftover power of this technique.
"Which means that it can hurt me badly if it hits me with its full power." The healing cultivator muttered.
"What are you saying?" The other woman asked her.
"Huh, nothing."
The healing cultivator looked at Yang Zhai once again.
"He is dangerous."
