Chapter 29: Two-Star Fighter? One-Finger Annihilation!
Mu She!
The leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps!
One of the three major mercenary groups in Qing Shan Town!
His own strength is that of a two-star fighter, although he has been stagnant for many years, he is still not someone ordinary mercenaries dare to provoke!
Mu She spoke up, indicating that he was siding with Ji Shi Tang!
He walked to the side of the Ji Shi Tang boss, releasing the aura of a fighter.
The surrounding ordinary mercenaries fell silent all of a sudden, even silently retreating several steps backward.
Even the mercenaries who had previously clamored to help the situation dared not speak again, afraid of offending Mu She.
They were just ordinary mercenaries.
If they offended Mu She, their days in Qing Shan Town would be difficult in the future!
The boss of Wan Yao Zhai's expression suddenly became ugly!
Previously, due to hiring the Little Doctor Fairy, Wan Yao Zhai's strength had expanded somewhat, so he dared to speak out about dismantling Ji Shi Tang.
But if the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps sided with Ji Shi Tang, Wan Yao Zhai would be difficult to resist!
"As I said before, if someone can be easily poisoned to death, then this healer's medical skills are probably nothing special!"
Mu She sneered.
He glanced coldly at the surrounding crowd.
Seeing that everyone he made eye contact with lowered their heads, he gave a smug grunt.
Under Mu She's threatening gaze, the momentum of Wan Yao Zhai's side suddenly diminished a lot.
"Humph! Stop spouting nonsense! How could it be possible for someone to guard against thieves for a thousand days without letting their guard down!"
The boss of Wan Yao Zhai's face was grim as he said, "The fact that the Little Doctor Fairy was poisoned does not prove her medical skills!"
"Moreover, both the testimony and the evidence are here. Do you, Ji Shi Tang, want to reverse black and white?!"
The boss of Wan Yao Zhai firmly grasped the point of witness testimony and physical evidence, while also strongly refuting Mu She's words.
The boss of Ji Shi Tang sneered, his hands behind his back, leisurely walking down.
Arriving in front of the witnesses, he carefully looked around.
"Heh, from Wan Yao Zhai! I don't even know this person!"
"Who knows where you found this scapegoat? Torture him into confessing and then accuse him of being from Ji Shi Tang!"
The old man stood up leisurely, saying in a composed manner, "The so-called testimony is just your word against ours. Who knows if you colluded with the witnesses?"
"As for the so-called physical evidence, who can prove that the poison in these pastries came from our Ji Shi Tang?"
"Even if it really was poison from our Ji Shi Tang, it's possible that it was planted by someone else with malicious intent, trying to frame Ji Shi Tang!"
When the old man mentioned "someone else with malicious intent," he deliberately glanced at the boss of Wan Yao Zhai.
This made the boss of Wan Yao Zhai furious!
In the end, the old man pretended to be sentimental and said, "Poor Little Doctor Fairy, being poisoned and then used for political gain."
The old man's words immediately sparked discussions among the surrounding crowd.
"It seems like what they're saying makes sense. Wan Yao Zhai's testimony and evidence might really be fabricated by Wan Yao Zhai's boss!"
"You're talking nonsense! Why would Wan Yao Zhai's boss poison the Little Doctor Fairy? She brought a lot of business to Wan Yao Zhai!"
"Speaking of which... they've been saying that the Little Doctor Fairy was poisoned, but why haven't we seen her body yet?"
...
The crowd was in an uproar, but Xiao Ze had already pulled the Little Doctor Fairy away from this place of controversy halfway through.
Since both sides insisted on their own version of events, they could just directly investigate on the spot!
The creation of such potent poison was not simple, and there would definitely be some traces left behind!
Taking advantage of Ji Shi Tang's attention being drawn away to the front, Xiao Ze secretly sneaked into Ji Shi Tang with the Little Doctor Fairy to investigate.
After some searching, they actually found a hidden room!
The residual substances inside the room were exactly the potent poison that had caused the Little Doctor Fairy's poisoning!
"Alright, the evidence is conclusive now!"
Xiao Ze himself was inclined to suspect Ji Shi Tang's foul play.
Now that they had found physical evidence, he had no qualms about taking action!
Two years later, when Xiao Yan arrived in Qing Shan Town, only Wan Yao Zhai would reign supreme.
Presumably, following the original development path, if the Little Doctor Fairy had not been poisoned to death, both sides would have settled their differences.
With the Little Doctor Fairy's help, Wan Yao Zhai continued to develop and quickly absorbed or demolished Ji Shi Tang.
As for why the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps would stand with Ji Shi Tang?
Xiao Ze speculated that it was probably because Ji Shi Tang saw that their own business situation was not good and took a risky move!
Offering a large amount of benefits to bribe the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps to deal with the trouble after poisoning the Little Doctor Fairy!
Perhaps it was some rare medicinal material, or perhaps it was a share of the profits for the next ten years.
Faced with such huge benefits, the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps would surely be unable to resist, after all, mercenaries are inherently profit-seeking beings!
Xiao Ze didn't want to bother with the machinations behind the scenes; he just wanted to deal with the mastermind and accomplice behind the poisoning of the Little Doctor Fairy.
He would then take the Little Doctor Fairy away from Qing Shan Town, never to have any further contact with it!
Arriving at the entrance of Ji Shi Tang, Xiao Ze found that both sides were still arguing.
"Hehehe! There's no need to argue anymore. I found the poison that killed the Little Doctor Fairy inside Ji Shi Tang!"
A hoarse and gloomy voice came from Xiao Ze's mouth. He found that the laughter of the Elder of the Hall of Souls was quite distinctive.
Xiao Ze silenced both sides as soon as he spoke.
This unexpected third party drew everyone's attention.
They saw two figures in black cloaks walking in from outside the crowd.
Xiao Ze threw the collected evidence on the ground.
The boss of Ji Shi Tang's face flashed panic, while the boss of Wan Yao Zhai seemed somewhat pleased, as this mysterious person seemed to be on their side.
The old man still wanted to stir up trouble and argue unreasonably.
Xiao Ze spoke first.
"You don't need to be so cunning. I only had the fortune of being treated by the Little Doctor Fairy, and now that she has been poisoned to death, I want revenge for her."
As he spoke, Xiao Ze walked towards the old man.
The old man saw the mysterious person approaching and kept backing away.
He was like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to say anything!
"Humph, so you want to resort to violence if you can't argue your case?"
The old man said with a forced smile, turning to Mu She, who was watching the show from the sidelines.
"Captain Mu She! You promised to take action!"
"I understand. How strong can this cowardly person be, hiding his head and showing his tail?"
Mu She said confidently, bursting with the aura of a fighter, and rushed forward with a ferocious grin.
"A cowardly person hiding his head and showing his tail, if you want to seek revenge for others in your next life, you'd better consider your own capabilities!"
The strong pressure of the fighter's aura forced the surrounding crowd to step back repeatedly.
They looked at Mu She in horror.
This was the power of a fighter!
"Hehe, I'll return your words to you verbatim!"
Xiao Ze stopped in his tracks, smiling.
"Arrogant!"
Mu She roared, rushing forward, his palm reaching for Xiao Ze's cloak, wanting to see Xiao Ze's true face.
The surrounding crowd watched with bated breath.
They felt sorry for Xiao Ze; why provoke a powerful fighter like this?!
Xiao Ze mobilized the water attribute Dou Qi in his body, mixed with a little poison attribute Dou Qi, and the originally light blue Dou Qi instantly turned deep blue!
Xiao Ze's fingers struck first.
In the eyes of the crowd, it seemed slow but was actually fast, landing on Mu She's brow.
"Puchi!"
The scene seemed to freeze in that moment!
When Xiao Ze withdrew his finger, it remained as clean as before.
But Mu She, on the other hand, had a bloody hole in his brow.
The surrounding crowd was stunned.
A two-star fighter was killed with just one finger?!!
