Chapter 1243 - 550: Opportunity

The crowd turned pale one after another.

Smiling Beauty Lin Yi Yuan, Poison Marrow Sword Zhao Jinci, Bone Piercing Whip Zhao Yinxin — any one of them was a renowned expert, yet it seemed they were all defeated, unable to match the youth on the second floor!

"Where did this expert come from..."

"I’ve never heard of such a person before."

"No wonder the reward for this job is so generous..."

Some murmurs spread around.

Even though Fang Yu’s displayed strength was already quite astonishing, there were still those eager to try their luck in taking on the task.

This courage stemmed not only from their own respectable abilities and confidence but also from the numerous companions around them in the tavern.

With strength in numbers, there was always a chance for success, even in chaos.

Everyone wanted to be the lucky one, so nobody held back. Instead, they made their intentions clearer, drawing their weapons and glaring at Fang Yu on the second floor.

Poison Marrow Sword Zhao Jinci also got up from the ground at this moment.

She incredulously touched the blood flowing from her forehead; ever since she gained fame, she had rarely been injured.

Due to the uniqueness of her poison, whenever she struck, it was always to poison her enemy first before slowly torturing them to victory.

Enemies who were poisoned saw their strength greatly reduced, and naturally, the damage they could inflict on her decreased significantly.

Yet this move seemed ineffective against this particular enemy.

"It shouldn’t be... you should already be poisoned!"

Zhao Jinci’s most potent poison came from her sword.

But in battle, it was never easy to land a hit with a poisoned sword, so most of the time, she relied on the poisonous vapors from her sachet to expand the range and poison her enemies first.

Moreover, this poison and the poison on her sword could produce a synergistic effect. When an enemy already poisoned by the vapor was stabbed by her poisoned sword, the toxicity would amplify significantly, piercing to the marrow and tormenting the enemy.

This was the origin of Zhao Jinci’s Poison Marrow Sword and her consistent battle strategy.

Among the opponents she had faced before, there were nearly no instances of failure.

But now, problems had arisen with her invincible combo.

Even though the enemy was hit by the sachet poison, they still managed not to get struck by the poison sword.

What did this imply...

Zhao Jinci’s eyes flashed with a trace of gloom.

"Could it be... that guy’s strength far exceeds mine, so even with the poison, he isn’t much affected..."

This was the most likely answer, but Zhao Jinci didn’t want to accept it.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, the boy on the second floor was only sixteen or seventeen, just a young brat!

At that age, that young, how could he possibly possess such superior strength! It was absolutely impossible! He wasn’t some hidden genius disciple from the Holy Sect, just an ordinary martial artist from a remote place. How could this kid be so powerful? It was impossible!

"Something’s fishy; he must have hidden something, or maybe he’s already secretly detoxified himself, just pretending to be poisoned to deceive my eyes!"

Zhao Jinci gripped the hilt of her poison sword, slowly drawing it from its sheath.

The emerald green blade, just at a glance, seemed extremely poisonous, enough to send people retreating.

"She’s unsheathed her sword!"

"Zhao Jinci has unsheathed her sword!"

"That’s the Poison Marrow Sword..."

"She’s finally getting serious!"

The crowd became excited, assuming her earlier failure was because Zhao Jinci hadn’t given her all and that the guy on the second floor simply seized an opportunity.

But now, he was going to face the full might of the Poison Marrow Sword!

"Sister!"

Bone Piercing Whip Zhao Yinxin also rose and stood by Zhao Jinci’s side, ready to fight together.

The sisters, fighting side by side, were when they truly unleashed their full potential!

"Terrifyingly strong! Just watching the Poison Scorpion Sisters, you can feel how terribly strong these two women are!"

"Brother Tian, have you learned anything? Do you want to go up there and watch closely, learn secretly?"

In a corner, Brother Tian, secretly learning martial arts, felt a twinge of conflict.

His Polar Star Shift aptitude had many hidden techniques for increasing the success rate of learning secretly, such as staying closer and observing others’ martial arts moves more clearly, which was one way to effectively increase the chances of learning secretly.

However, the risk was equally high.

"No rush, let’s see how things unfold first."

Brother Tian looked up at the second floor, at the youth who faced a mob drawing their weapons, ready to charge up but showed no change in expression.

"This guy... could he be terrifyingly strong?"

Brother Tian thought silently, just wishing he had the template of this kind of NPC. If he could be as awe-inspiring, dying would be worth it.

"All together!"

Poison Marrow Sword Zhao Jinci shouted at this moment.

The purpose of expanding her team was for moments like this.

As her strength increased, the tasks she took on, or the ambushes and pursuits she encountered, had opponents whose strength had significantly risen.

They were either the outstanding ones among their peers or seasoned old foes with years of reputation.

Either their strength was so formidable it was troublesome for her, or they were so cunning she nearly couldn’t escape alive.

That’s why she thought of expanding her team.

After all, individual strength is hard to improve quickly, so gathering more strong allies became a good solution.
