An immense pain surge through his body. He felt as if a large amount of sulphuric acid was corroding his body.

Fang Xingjian reached out his trembling hand towards the antidote he had.

‘Was I poisoned?

‘When?’

He opened the cap to the antidote and gulped down the whole bottle.

Reiya and the others who were on the other hand also dashed over.

“Lad, you’ve been keeping us in the dark!”

“To think that you’ve managed to push back Mumukeya. What on earth is your agility attribute now?”

“From Kirst Academy… You must be Fang Xingjian? That genius who had transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero.”

But after talking for a moment, the few of them immediately felt that something was amiss with Fang Xingjian.

Retch…

Spurting out another big mouthful of blood, Fang Xingjian could only feel that the world before him was in total chaos. He was down on one of his knees, vomiting out blood which looked like viscous venom, blood that corroded a large piece of the land very quickly.

“What happened to you?!” Reiya let out an astonished cry while Wei Longzi was already supporting Fang Xingjian. He stated coldly, “He’s poisoned.”

“Did Mumukeya smear poison on his dagger? Are we poisoned as well?” Grand asked anxiously.

Just then, a laughing voice once again drew away everyone’s attention.

“Haha, don’t worry, you guys have not been poisoned.”

Wearing a suit of red, the fire patterns on Kauntiz head seemed as if they were burning up as they jumped about. He entered together with Rebecca, Cynthia, and Cynthia’s husband Zakov behind him.

Zakov looked in the direction Mumukeya had fled to and asked worriedly, “Mumukeya seems to be injured. Should we chase him down first?”

“No need for that. He’s a Garcia’s barbarian, no need to be too concerned.” Kaunitz looked at Fang Xingjian coldly, pride and rejoice beaming in his eyes.

“Our target is Fang Xingjian.”

He led the three to a spot fifteen meters away from Reiya and the others. Looking at how Reiya and the others were standing between them and Fang Xingjian, Kaunitz broke into a smile. “Why, are you guys thinking of stopping me?”

Reiya furrowed her pair of green-colored beautiful brows, asking, “Who are you? Does Fang Xingjian’s poisoning have anything to do with you?”

Kaunitz did not pay any heed to Reiya but turned to look at Fang Xingjian who was being covered up by the others. Looking at Fang Xingjian’s trembling face which had turned green, Kaunitz laughed harder. He seemed to be pleased.

Kaunitz enjoyed the feeling of this moment. He looked at Fang Xingjian excitedly, “Fang Xingjian, that poison is no ordinary one. It’s mixed in vulnerary ointment and will slowly lurk in your body while your wounds are being healed. It will stay there for an extremely long period of time and only act up after it has completely merged into the blood and has flowed through your body.

“Once it acts up, the muscles, bones and organs all over your body will be corroded, rendering you unable to muster your strength. By then, even Netherworld Valley’s antidotes would be useless.

“And earlier, you had gone through vigorous movements during the battle, causing the toxin to slowly spread through your body. Do you understand now?

“Now, not only will you feel that your limbs growing weak, you’ll also be unable to focus due to your body’s deterioration. You won’t even be able to keep up your Waves and, naturally your Reduced Force Field as well. You won’t be be able to use any extraordinary strength or skills at all.
