Karan suddenly felt a severe cold shiver all over his body.
Once his Profound Qi had dried up, he would have nothing to protect himself with. Then, like most commoners, his body would starting decaying from the inside out. He couldn't do anything about it!
He could do nothing!
But in this situation, he couldn't gain more Profound Qi by training. Once he took away the Profound Qi in his stomach and gut, the Gut Cutting poison would gain strength and made him die faster.
Thus he could do nothing but wait for it to happen, even if it meant death.
Two more hours passed by.
The effects of the Gut Cutting poison didn't weaken, but increased continuously. He could clearly feel his Profound Qi was depleting faster and faster!
He felt that he was getting closer to deaths door…
Once his Profound Qi ran out, his insides would corrode, but he wouldn't die quickly. The corrosion would spread throughout his body, and in five or six days, he would decayed and die, just like every other medicine slave.
Karan was unyielding. With a cold glare, he stared at Mo Yanyu who was sitting on an old tree far away.
Under the bright moonlight, Mo Yanyu sat upright on a thick tree with a serene face. Her skin was like frost, while her long hair swayed with the wind. A spirit in the dark night! She didn't notice Karan's cold eyes as she was whole-hearted training and nourishing the vessel which with Profound Qi.
Master Karu was at the end of the troops. He stood against another ancient tree and was carefully reading a book about poison in his right hand, his left hand in his cuff.
Now and then, he looked in the direction of Karan with a slippery smirk in the corner of his mouth.
"I can't let it go like this." Karan thought with knitted brows. He operated the Profound Qi and at the same time pondered on the ways to solve his dilemma.
If it went on like this, his Profound Qi would dry up before dawn and he would die without any doubt! He couldn't change anything even if he ran away, for the drug was in his body. The only solution was Master Karu!
He invented the Gut Cutting poison, thus he must have the cure for it. He could change his destiny of a decaying death only by getting that cure from Master Karu. Yet Master Karu was not only an alchemist, but also a Warrior of the Earth spirit realm. It was suicide if he tried to grab the cure from him.
Karan observed him for a while. He found that although Master Karu was reading, he was also looking in his direction every now and then. Apparently, he was not against taking precautions. He might have even figured out what Karan would do and was waiting for him to take action.
Several ideas flashed through his mind. Karan knew that there was almost no possibility that he could succeed. Yet he had to turn to Master Karu and take action soon. Because it would become impossible to survive if his Profound Qi ran out.
Karan adjusted his breath secretly and despite the poison in the stomach, he drew the Profound Qi back and prepared to fight.
As expected, the Gut Cutting poison became stronger and spread faster after the Profound Qi was drawn back. He was attacked by a wave of agony throughout his body.
Master Karu was very confident of his medicine, "That boy is a Warrior. He is pretty tough and not that easy to break down. Just wait till the Profound Qi inside him is depleted. He will be no different from those slaves. I know my Gut Cutting poison very well."
"OK. You go back there and keep an eye on him." Mo Yanyu said with an expressionless face.
Since the two of them were so calm about this news, Johnson had no choice but to obey. He didn't insist any more. He went back to the back of the troop and continued to monitor every movement of Karan closely as he was told.
"Master Karu, how long should it take for that bastard to start suffering?" After Johnson left, Mo Yanyu started to look worried. The result she was expecting is for Karan to start dying from hellish pain now. The more suffering Karan felt, the more pleasure she would be able to enjoy.
"Don't worry. It is about time."
After the end of the day, the moon replaced the sun and rose in the sky.
After the troop had settled, Master Karu and Mo Yanyu over walked to Karan together. They saw Karan in a pained situation .
"Master Karu, that guy doesn't look quite…" Mo Yanyu said in hesitation. The way Karan was engorging himself look to be in very much pain.
Master Karu was apparently offended, "What? Are you questioning my skills as an alchemist?"
"No, no." Mo Yanyu said, "The power of the Gut Cutting poison has already been proven on other medicine slaves. I was just wondering why this guy could survive. Did you forget any ingredients in his dose?"
"Miss Mo, although I am not a top alchemist, I couldn't have made such a ridiculous mistake." Master Karu was apparently offended. He said, "If you don't believe in my ability, I can leave right now."
"Master Karu, please don't. That's not what I meant. I was just wondering why the medicine did not work faster on him. I didn't mean anything else." Mo Yanyu looked panicked.
The moon was like a silver plate hanging on the night sky.
The warriors were all training quietly. Mo Yanyu hid herself amongst the foliage of a huge ancient tree, taking long breaths. Master Karu stood against another tree, reading a volume of his poison encyclopedia joyfully. Medicine slaves were lying disorderly on the wet ground behind the Ground Dragon.
Karan didn't sleep that night due to pain and observed his surroundings quietly in a calculatingly manner.
Mo Yanyu was at the head of the troops while Master Karu at the rear. The two seemed to not care about Karan , however their position gave them away. Apparently they were both on guard against Karan who was in the centre of the troops.
Johnson seemed to know that Karan would make his move tonight, so he didn't train, instead he focused on Karan who was ten metres away. Once Karan made a move, he would notice it and stop him.
"Too bad." Karan thought to himself. He waited for them to let their guard down.
As time passed, the bright moon disappeared. Dawn was about to arrive. However, Karan hadn't gotten a chance to escape yet, so he was a little anxious. After a moment's hesitation, he decided not to wait and was about to take action.
"Kaka! Kakaka!"
At that moment, a strange sound came from afar. Something was heading in this direction slowly.
As the Profound Qi flew forth and back in his arms, Karan's eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
"Everyone on alert!" Mo Yanyu shouted, when she lifted herself up from the ancient tree. Staying in a high position, she looked into the distance for a while, then screamed, "A Jade Blade Spider!"
All the warriors woke up from their training process.
The warriors were all wearing a rigid face. Before Mo Yanyu uttered anything, they took out their weapons and crowded around the Ground Dragon in a circle, five or six metres away from each other.
Master Karu packed the book away and frowned. He walked up to the Ground Dragon and ordered in a low voice, "Keep an eye on the medicine bottles on the dragon!"
"Yes Master Karu!" The warriors responded in unison.
The medicine slaves woke up one by one. Hearing a Jade Blade Spider was nearing, they were all frightened and ran to the ground dragon. Apparently, they all knew how cruel a Jade Blade Spider was.
"Jingle!"
A bunch of keys flew out from Mo Yanyu's hand to land under Johnson's foot. "Johnson, open the shackles on them! Or they will be killed by the spider! Hurry up!" Mo Yanyu urged.
Johnson picked up the keys and looked up at Mo Yanyu, then pointed to Karan, "Including him?"
"Yeah. I don't want him to die easily." Mo Yanyu showed no patience on her face.
"Kid, be well-behaved. I will keep an eye on you!" Johnson snorted. He released the shackles on Karan first, then walked over to the rest slaves and freed them one after another.
"Thank God!"
As the shackles were released, Karan felt extremely relaxed and smirked in his mind.
The profound blossom sect was a sect with a duel cultivation. Although the owner of this body wasn't a Warrior, But He was also familiar with all sorts of demon beasts. So when Mo Yanyu mentioned the Jade Blade Spider, Karan was extremely happy as he knew his chance to escape was coming!
The Jade Blade Spider was a Level 2 demon beast whose eight legs were as sharp as knives. They liked to wander at night and always appeared in groups of five or six. The spiders were cruel and loved eating humans. Once they came across humans in the Dark Forest, they would never spare them.
Demon beasts were always much larger than humans. They had thick, coarse skin and could move faster than humans. Commoners would either die or be injured whenever they met one. Only skilled warriors could escape. Although the Jade Blade Spiders were a mere Level 2 demon beast, they made their appearance in groups of five or six, and normal warriors couldn't move faster than them, thus it was hard to compete with them.
To meet Jade Blade Spiders in the Dark Forest was a bad situation for anyone, as there was nothing valuable on its body and they were aggressive and moved like the wind. They would start attacking as soon as they saw a human and would never leave without getting something, even ignoring their injuries.
Karan approached the Ground Dragon quietly and stood by the panicking medicine slaves and started to observe what was happening, not in a hurry to escape.
"Shit! Eight of them!"
Mo Yanyu cried from the tree, frowning with a rigid face. "It will be a nasty fight. Get ready! Remember, do not pursue and attack! The spiders will have the advantage if we retreat into the thickets! Do not fight in the there!"
"Kakaka! Kaka!"
The sound of a knife cutting the earth approached. Soon, they saw two Jade Blade Spiders who were 10 metres long and 1.5 metres tall. The whole body of the Spider was snow white and as large as a bus, with eight legs like daggers; bright and sharp.
The Spiders moved their dagger-like legs and advanced in extremely quickly and nimbly. They arrived in an instant. Their legs reflected an icy light while moving and easily scared everyone. It was not hard to imagine what tragedy would happen once one was cut by those legs.
Seeing the Spiders show up one by one, the warriors were all silent. Mo Yanyu had jumped down from the tree minutes ago. She was standing in the front of the troops, getting ready by inter-twining her fingers with radiant lightning. Master Karu sat relaxed in the sedan atop the Ground Dragon with indifferent eyes, not showing any indication of fear.
Soon, all eight spiders appeared. They were not stupid, as they separated and surrounded the Ground Dragon, and then shooting forth like eight cars.
With a harsh whistling sound, the eight spiders started the battle at the same time. White legs were raised up into the vast sky, they flew forward at the same time, rushing towards the warriors who were around the Ground Dragon.
At that moment, the air was filled with silver and white knives. The warriors reacted quickly. They thrust their weapons, while deflecting the spiders' attack, towards the beasts' waist and eyes.
Everything descended into chaos.
The Jade Blade Spiders surrounded the Ground Dragon. White legs crashed down. Warriors dodged to the left and the right, and kept thrusting their weapons. Mo Yanyu broke out with her Martial Techniques. Her hands were twined by lightning and kept radiating [Verdant Crescent Slashes], which fell upon the spiders and left them trembling.
"Shooo!"
One of the warriors sustained a cut on his torso by a spider leg before he could react. His organs spilled out of him along with his desperate cry. He then fell heavily onto the ground.
The medicine slaves were so frightened that they couldn't help themselves and hid beneath the Ground Dragon. Some slaves lost their mind. They ran in between the spider legs in order to escape, but were nailed to the ground by the spiders' legs and died instantly.
Karan contained himself, his eyes filled with a strange light. He almost didn't move behind the warriors, the shackles ringing with clear sounds.
"Crack!"
The warrior in front of Karan, who was of the profound qi Realm, bumped into another warrior while moving. Before he could evade, a spider leg cut through his neck and his head was sent flying. Karan was showered with his blood.
Karan's eyes were blurred by the blood. Suddenly, a desire of slaughter broke out in his body. The cyclones in his seven hundred and twenty meridians swirled madly while a potent strength welled out of the meridians.
The headless body of the warrior was spurting out blood. An air current, which could only be sensed by Karan, which was filled with despair, anger and regret, seeped into every pore on Karan. It flowed along his veins until it reached all of the seven hundred and twenty meridians.
The desire to slaughter emerged in Karan's heart. When the seven hundred and twenty meridians spun in his body, the power of despair, fear and cruelty multiplied as well, which urged Karan to begin a massacre.
"Shwish!"
A spider leg flew towards Karan's head. Surprised, Karan controlled his urge to kill and moved behind another warrior to escape the strike.
"Chee!"
That warrior was blocked by the spider, when he thrust his weapon into the spider's eye with all of his strength. The blind spider went insane and brandished its leg, cutting into the warrior's waist. The warrior was cut into two pieces and died quickly.
After moving near the warrior, when Karan found a safe zone, things changed again!
In an instant, that warrior Died.
Karan was dumbstruck.
Just then!
A Jade Blade Spider let out a strange whistle, and the remaining six spiders flew back into the thick forest quickly.
Apparently they had noticed that it would be hard to fight with this troop. After two of them died, they finally withdrew.
Karan's face turned cold. he moved all of his Profound Qi into his feet. He dashed out with those Jade Blade Spiders as fast as a whirlwind.
He could only run away among the spiders.
Karan thus gained more confidence and went into a state of ecstasy. He looked back to Mo Yanyu afar, running along with the spiders. He said coldly: "Mo Yanyu, wait and see, I will fuck you one day!"
"Catch him!" Mo Yanyu's slim body trembled, her eyes on fire, as she chased after Karan.
Master Karu was even faster!
The vicious alchemist kept quiet on the Ground Dragon as if waiting for something. When Karan ran away with the spiders, he jumped up and flew high after karan like an eagle.
"Kid, I've waited for so long." Master Karu smirked in an evil voice while he was still up in the sky.
