I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 59: Qin Yiyao Kills the Rat

"I told you, you won't die tonight." Gu Heng turned to Xiaoyu and Xiaomu with a gentle smile. "Aren't you afraid now?"

"Young master, thank you so much..."

Xiao Mu looked at Gu Heng with gratitude.

She never expected that, at the critical moment of life and death, it would be this strange mortal man who stepped forward and saved them!

However, to let a Nascent Soul Stage 1 assassin die suddenly in front of them... seems to be something that ordinary people cannot do.

"You're welcome." Gu Heng shook his head slightly, glancing at the five corpses beside him. They were a troublesome matter, but he didn't care about them for now. The two women in front of him still needed treatment.

"Your injuries require treatment. Please come into my clinic first."

Gu Heng helped the two of them into the clinic.

On the wall in the front yard, a small silver cat was lying there, its tail no longer wagging, and its eyes held a hint of seriousness.

Su Jinxi saw exactly how these people died.

Even though she was at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, she could sense any unusual phenomena or fluctuations of true energy within a hundred miles of Yunling City. Yet, when Gu Heng personally killed these ants, there was not a trace of true energy fluctuation on his body.

He used poison.

Su Jinxi had heard of that kind of poison and had even seen it by chance.

Heavenly Spider Dust is a bluish-black powder, odorless, and extremely toxic. It can rapidly corrode true qi. If this poison enters the body, one will die from bleeding from all seven orifices within three breaths due to the complete erosion of true qi!

This poison is extremely difficult to defend against because when fighting an enemy, one can incorporate it into their own moves to bombard the opponent. As long as a single grain of Heavenly Spider Dust enters the body, it's all over, because this deadly poison will become more and more intense as it corrodes one's true energy, and there is no antidote.

Su Jinxi had heard that it was this poison that killed the previous Demon King.

The one who uses it is the current Demon King.

It is said that after the previous Demon King was poisoned, he used countless precious medicines that could increase vitality and remove all poisons, and even planned to split his soul to prolong his life, but he still died three months later.

Just now, the deadly poison that could even kill a Mahayana cultivator—Heavenly Spider Dust—was caught between Gu Heng's fingers.

Why Gu Heng possessed such poison, or why he used the Dragon Slayer Blade to kill ants, wasting such a rare and potent poison on these useless assassins who could be wiped out with a mere flick of their aura—none of these things made Su Jinxi feel anything was amiss.

After all, powerful individuals like them could cause extraordinary phenomena in the world with just a thought, even if they used their true energy. That would be too ostentatious, and Gu Heng certainly wouldn't like to expose himself and then have to move to another place to live. So he used poison to deal with these ants.

Su Jinxi felt heavy-hearted because...

Gu Heng dared to touch Tian Zhuchen with his own body!

He's actually alright?!

When Gu Heng took out these powders, Su Jinxi was so frightened that her whole body bristled. She knew that even if a demon's body was as strong as a demon's, touching these things would be fatal. The only difference was whether they would die sooner or later.

If one were to say that one's physical body alone is enough to make one unafraid even of the Heavenly Spider Dust...

Su Jinxi felt that if she continued thinking about it, the cat's brain would shut down.

"Xiaoxi, come back."

Gu Heng's voice came from above. Su Jinxi jumped down from the wall, and then she saw that in a room on the second floor of the clinic, the little girl named Qin Yiyao was leaning against the window, holding the Heavenly Grade Sword in her hand.

"Let her deal with those rats that haven't shown themselves yet."

She didn't even need to look back to sense it.

Not far away, there were two more guys hiding in the shadows.

……

"...Did you see what happened clearly?"

"I didn't see it clearly. Why did Qing Si die like that? The other four are no big deal, but he was a Nascent Soul Level 1 cultivator. There are only three people in the Treasure Shop who are stronger than him."

Two people emerged from the shadows.

They were also masked and dressed in black, staring at the five corpses lying haphazardly in front of the clinic not far away, their eyes filled with fear.

"What should we do now?"

"There's no other way. Take Qing Si's body back and tell Lord Shang that the two women from the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop have been rescued. Also... we need to be extra careful with the Gu Family Medical Clinic in the south of Yunling City. Although the clinic owner has no cultivation, he can instantly kill a Nascent Soul cultivator. We need to be even more cautious with him!"

The two exchanged ideas and then quietly slipped to the front of the clinic. One of them quickly picked up the leader's corpse and ran away in a flash.

However, not far after rushing out of the street, a figure suddenly appeared at the street corner. Her white dress reflected a faint moonlight, but the soft sword she slowly drew from its sheath was the real threat, radiating a chilling light!

"What? Now you know you should run?"

Qin Yiyao's slightly immature face was full of arrogance as she turned her fair wrist, the blade humming.

"A rat is still a rat; it only dares to show its face now."

"who are you?"

The two stopped and stared at the pretty girl who had suddenly appeared.

Foundation Building Stage Two?

At first, they just found it funny. Although they weren't involved in the chase, they were still at the second level of Core Formation. How dare this girl block their way?

But in the end, they couldn't laugh, because tonight, their most important assassin, Qingfeng Baoxing, suddenly died in front of someone else's door. This was a heavy matter in itself, and now they just wanted to hurry back to report, and they also had to bear the wrath of their superiors.

"You don't need to know who I am, you only need to know..."

Qin Yiyao abruptly changed the subject: "You should go and keep those who offended this clinic company!"

"That clinic?"

When the two finally realized what was going on, she suddenly jerked her wrist, and her longsword flew out. In an instant, a chilling killing intent swept out! This aura far surpassed the so-called "Second Level of Foundation Establishment"!

Their pupils constricted sharply, and they immediately circulated their inner energy to prepare for battle!

Brush it!

The air seemed to tear apart with a loud bang!

A sense of danger instantly enveloped the two men. They were horrified to discover that her sword had slashed one man's arm and left a deep gash in the other's chest.

This girl's speed and strength far surpassed theirs!

puff!

Without hesitation, Qin Yiyao continued to thrust, her soft sword piercing through the neck of one of them. With a swift stroke, her head fell to the ground.

But when she turned around to kill the other person, a cloud of purple smoke exploded in front of her. Thinking it was poison, she quickly retreated ten steps. But when she realized it was just an illusion, the person had already disappeared with the corpse.

"Tsk, you still managed to get away." Qin Yiyao clicked her tongue in displeasure, but didn't chase after them. She turned around and went back to the clinic.

Inside the clinic, Gu Heng applied his own herbal compendium to Xiao Mu and Xiao Yu. For Xiao Yu, whose injuries were more severe, he gave her a blood-activating and qi-tonifying pill. In less than half a cup of tea's time, both of them recovered.

Both women were astonished to see their internal energy rapidly recovering and their wounds healing.

This "Young Master Gu" has some impressive medical skills!
