Mundane Saint

Chapter 59 – Qin Yiyao kills mice

"I told you, tonight you won't die." Gu Heng turned his head and gave Little Yu and Little Mu a gentle smile. "Not scared anymore, right?"

"Young Master, th-thank you..."

Little Mu looked at Gu Heng gratefully.

She never expected that at the brink of life and death, it would be this unfamiliar mortal man who would step forward and save them!

However, making a killer at the first level of Elemental Infant drop dead right in front of them seemed... not something a mere mortal could accomplish.

"You're welcome." Gu Heng shook his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the five corpses nearby. It was a troublesome matter, but he didn't pay it any mind for now. The two girls in front of him still needed treatment.

"Your injuries need attention. Let's head to my Medicine Hall first."

Gu Heng supported the two of them and led them into the Medicine Hall.

Meanwhile, on the wall of the front courtyard, a small silver cat lay there, its tail no longer swaying, and there was a hint of gravity in its eyes.

Su Jinxi had seen clearly how these people died.

Even though she was at the tenth level of Tribulation Crossing, capable of sensing any celestial phenomena or fluctuations of true energy within a hundred miles of Cloud Spirit City, just now, when Gu Heng personally killed these few ants, there was not a trace of true energy fluctuation on him.

He used poison.

And that poison, Su Jinxi had heard of and occasionally seen.

Sky Spider Dust, a blue-black powder, odorless, extremely toxic, capable of rapidly corroding true energy. If this poison enters the body, within just three breaths, one would bleed from all orifices and die due to the complete erosion of true energy!

This poison is extremely difficult to guard against because it can be integrated into one's moves during a confrontation, striking the opponent. As long as a single grain of Sky Spider Dust enters the body, it's over, as this deadly poison becomes even more intense while corroding true energy, and there is no antidote.

Su Jinxi had heard of it because this poison killed the previous King of Ten Thousand Demons.

The one who used it was the current King of Ten Thousand Demons.

It's said that after the previous King of Ten Thousand Demons was poisoned, he relied on countless life-extending and poison-expelling treasures, even planning to split his soul to prolong his life, but still perished three months later.

And just now, this poison, capable of killing even Great Ascension stage cultivators—Sky Spider Dust—was pinched between Gu Heng's fingers.

Why Gu Heng had such poison, or why he used a dragon-slaying knife to kill ants, wasting such a rare poison on these worthless assassins who could be killed with just a show of force, none of this seemed odd to Su Jinxi.

After all, for someone of their strength, even a mere thought could manifest celestial phenomena, which would be too ostentatious. Gu Heng surely didn't like exposure and would have to find another place to live, so he used poison to deal with these ants.

What weighed on Su Jinxi's mind was...

Gu Heng dared to touch Sky Spider Dust with his bare hands!

And he was fine!?

When Gu Heng took out the powder, Su Jinxi was so scared her fur stood on end because she knew that even a physically strong demon race would die upon touching it, the only difference being how soon.

If just the physical body was enough to not fear Sky Spider Dust...

Su Jinxi felt that if she thought any further, her cat brain might crash.

"Little Xi, come back."

Gu Heng's voice came over.

Su Jinxi jumped down from the wall, and then she saw, in a room on the second floor of the Medicine Hall, the little girl named Qin Yiyao was leaning by the window, holding that heavenly-grade treasured sword.

"Let her deal with those hidden rats."

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

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

...

"...Did you see what happened?"

"No, how did Qing Si just die like that? The other four are worthless, but he was at the first level of Elemental Infant, only three in the Treasure Hall are stronger than him."

Two people emerged from the shadows.

They were also masked, dressed in black, looking at the five corpses sprawled at the Medicine Hall's entrance with fear in their eyes.

"What do we do now?"

"No choice, take Qing Si's body back, tell Lord Shang that the two women from Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall were rescued, and... we need to pay more attention to the Gu Family Medicine Hall south of Cloud Spirit City. Although the owner has no cultivation, he can kill a first-level Elemental Infant instantly, so we need to be more cautious!"

The two exchanged opinions and then quietly sneaked to the Medicine Hall entrance. One of them quickly hoisted the lead assassin's body and dashed away.

However, just as they rushed out of the street, a figure stood at the street's end for some unknown reason. The white dress slightly reflected the faint moonlight, and the soft sword she slowly unsheathed was the true threat emitting a cold gleam!

"What? Now you know to run?"

Qin Yiyao's slightly youthful face was full of arrogance as she rotated her wrist, the sword blade humming.

"Rats are still rats, only daring to show up now."

"Who are you?"

The two stopped in their tracks, staring at the suddenly appearing pretty girl.

Second level of Foundation Establishment?

They initially found it amusing. Even though they weren't involved in the chase, they were at the second level of Core Formation. Did this girl dare to block their path?

But they couldn't laugh in the end because tonight, Qingfeng Treasure Hall's most important assassin suddenly died in front of someone else's door. This matter was heavy in itself, and they just wanted to quickly return to report and endure the wrath from above.

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

Qin Yiyao's tone suddenly shifted: "You should join those who offended this Medicine Hall!"

"This Medicine Hall?"

When the two finally realized, her wrist shook violently, the long sword danced, and in an instant, a fierce killing intent swept over!

This momentum far exceeded the so-called "second level of Foundation Establishment"!

Their pupils contracted sharply, immediately circulating true energy to confront!

Swish!

The air seemed to tear with a sound!

A sense of danger instantly enveloped their hearts, and they were horrified to find her sword had sliced one person's arm, while the other's chest bore a deep gash.

This girl's speed and strength far surpassed theirs!

Splat!

Without hesitation, Qin Yiyao continued to thrust, the soft sword piercing through one person's neck, and with a swift slash, the head fell to the ground.

But when she wanted to turn and cut down the other, a cloud of purple smoke exploded in front of her. Thinking it was poisonous, she quickly retreated ten steps, but when she realized it was just a smokescreen, the person had already disappeared with the body.

"Tch, you got away."

Qin Yiyao clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction but didn't pursue further, turning back to the Medicine Hall.

Inside the Medicine Hall, Gu Heng had applied his concocted herbal medicine to Little Mu and Little Yu. For Little Yu, who was more severely injured, he gave her a blood-replenishing and energy-boosting pill. In less than half a cup of tea's time, both were feeling better.

Seeing their true energy quickly recovering and their wounds healing, the two girls were amazed.

This "Young Master Gu's" medical skills were quite impressive!
