Chapter 1446 - 1445: Miasma
Tang Rao looked at the Yin Rou man, and the Yin Rou man looked at Tang Rao with the same gaze, like hungry wolves eyeing the prey they've finally found.Of course, the hatred the Yin Rou man held towards Tang Rao had long surpassed Tang Rao's dissatisfaction towards this lascivious man.
"Master, since you say I'm no match for him, wouldn't our combined strengths make the best team?"
Tang Rao felt proud of his idea.
"I've already thought of a name for our team, we'll be the West Island Junglers, we'll jungle until he's convinced, let him know West Island is not a place you can come and go as you please."
This way of saying it felt a bit strange to Wu Suowei, West Island Junglers? Isn't that tantamount to insulting the Yin Rou man?
"Why can't we stay low-key till the end?"
Wu Suowei wanted to ask Tang Rao why he kept stirring trouble, but seeing Tang Rao's confident appearance, Wu Suowei suddenly didn't feel like persuading him.
After all, such persuasion was completely useless.
"Since you both wish to die, I shall fulfill your wish."
The man flipped his hand into a strike, hitting Tang Rao's chest, causing a sweetness in Tang Rao's heart, and he directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn!"
It's been long since Tang Rao was injured by anyone; the last person who hurt him, the grass on their grave must be quite tall now.
Someone like him who frequents the riverside, eventually got wet shoes.
"Kid, you're pretty fast, huh."
Tang Rao spat out all the blood from his mouth, and the sweet metallic taste finally faded significantly.
"Hurry up and get lost!"
The Yin Rou man lightly uttered a sentence.
Was he telling Tang Rao to leave, implying he didn't want to bother with Tang Rao?
Evidently, Tang Rao didn't really believe the Yin Rou man had such a kind heart.
"I've already come here, if I leave now, wouldn't that be shameful? Let's continue fighting; I still don't have a place to stay tonight. I imagine if I were to become a heroic savior, the lady wouldn't mind letting me stay at her house for a night, right, miss?"
Tang Rao flirtatiously glanced at the girl, who bashfully turned her face away.
She had completely forgotten she was still in the grasp of the Yin Rou man, who could easily take her life at any moment.
"Miss, I'd advise you not to smile so brightly. If you keep smiling like that, you'll lose your life."
While Tang Rao cheerfully advised the girl, his feet moved swiftly, his hands cutting fiercely toward the side of the Yin Rou man.
"If you take another step forward, you'll lose your life too!"
At some point, a dagger appeared in Tang Rao's hand. Though his speed was fast, there were those faster than him.
"My life? Hahaha, what a joke, is my life so easy for you to take?"
Tang Rao claimed the Yin Rou man wouldn't dare take another step forward, yet the Yin Rou man showed with his actions he could take a step forward without any consequence.
As expected, to Tang Rao's surprise, the Yin Rou man was completely fine, while Tang Rao's dagger instantly disintegrated into powder right before his eyes.
"How is this possible?"
Tang Rao wondered aloud.
This dagger had helped Tang Rao kill so many people, yet unexpectedly, in front of a stranger, it suddenly vanished, while the opponent remained unharmed.
The Yin Rou man seemed very satisfied with Tang Rao's expression; he had just given Tang Rao an opportunity to leave, but Tang Rao didn't take it, "Now you're afraid? Want me to let you go?"
Tang Rao shook his head.
If he were afraid of death, he wouldn't have lived this long.
Suddenly realizing the palm from the Yin Rou man had implanted a miasma in his Dantian, Tang Rao was unable to utilize his current strength.
Tang Rao felt quite panicked yet continued to bravely support himself.
"Your Dantian isn't doing well now, the miasma was a welcome gift, the longer you wait, the stronger the miasma becomes, it can absorb your strength and convert it into its own until it finally takes over your body."
The Yin Rou man wasn't bluffing; each word he spoke was heartfelt.
"Why do this?" Why not simply kill Tang Rao?
With this man's strength, killing Tang Rao wouldn't be difficult.
Yet, he chose to torment Tang Rao, refusing to let him go easily.
"Because that's what makes it interesting."
Night had completely fallen; the woman was quite fearful of the dark. Night had fallen, yet she hadn't returned home, her parents would worry, and as darkness descended, the miasma in Tang Rao's body became even more uncontrollable.
She attempted to struggle while in the Yin Rou man's grasp, but her efforts were utterly futile.
"Tang Rao, you have miasma!"
Wu Suowei also sensed something unusual about Tang Rao, his strength indeed being slowly consumed by miasma, at a rate faster than Tang Rao's cultivation speed.
As Tang Rao's master, Wu Suowei wasn't entirely useless; his strength was greater than the Yin Rou man's, making him a worthy adversary.
Quickly, the Yin Rou man felt threatened.
He tried to use the same trick he'd used on Tang Rao against Wu Suowei, but Wu Suowei had already anticipated it, and the Yin Rou man had no opportunity to touch him.
Wu Suowei's techniques were also ruthlessly cunning, allowing him to quickly gain the upper hand.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Yin Rou man directly flung the woman at Wu Suowei, and then escaped at the fastest speed possible.
The bastard actually got away!
Tang Rao understood the principle of not pursuing a cornered enemy; when Wu Suowei wanted to chase him down and seek justice, Tang Rao immediately stopped him.
"Master, there's no guarantee there isn't an ambush ahead, forget it, don't pursue a cornered enemy."
Tang Rao was still very sensible, perhaps seeking to settle the score another time.
Considering Tang Rao's good intuition, generally his grudges wouldn't take long to meet him again; having encountered this often, Tang Rao had developed a habit of patiently waiting for revenge.
Since Tang Rao had spoken, Wu Suowei had no choice but to heed his words.
He was unharmed, and now the only concern was the miasma in Tang Rao's body.
"Try to see if you can dissipate the miasma in your Dantian; that man doesn't seem like a good person, if you've truly offended such a person, escaping won't be easy."
Tang Rao knew it would be difficult, silently observing the shifting miasma within him, attempting to halt its movement to no avail.
The miasma was like a mischievous monkey, wherever he went, it went elsewhere; he had tried everything from encirclement to interception with no effect.
"No way, the miasma seems to have intelligence, I can't intercept it nor dissipate it."
Tang Rao said dejectedly to Wu Suowei.
This puzzled Wu Suowei as well; he hadn't anticipated this outcome.
"Your strength will be consumed by the miasma!"
