Chapter 51: Spreading the Gospel (2/2)
But Xue Wuya was surprised that after feeling angry, he became extremely dizzy. All he wanted to do was to sleep.
”Damn, what has Junior Leopard done, it's so weird!” Xue Wuya shut his mouth fiercely and he bit through his tongue so that the overwhelming pain could wake him up. In the meantime, his Internal Qi circulated quickly through his body trying to drive the thing which made him sick out.
But no matter how he circled his Internal Qi, there was no other way that he could expel the thing. The only thing that could keep him alert was the heat generated from his body's bloody fire. He was close to finding the root cause of what made him sleepy, his Internal Qi was only one step away from finding out where the troubling thing was and expelling it. He was only one step away.
”I wouldn't give Junior Leopard any chance to beat me if I weren't deeply injured and my Internal Qi was scattered!” Xue Wuya's face was blue, he knew Junior Leopard had run out of his control the moment he felt dizzy. ”Run, I will give you time to run, I shall see how far you can get!” cursed Xue Wuya.
He had a feeling that told him what was in his body wasn't poison but a kind of strong sleeping drug. It only made him dizzy, but wouldn't affect his health. He would choose to sleep if it was a normal time. But he couldn't now as the Evil Toad was approaching and Junior Leopard intended to kill him. He was afraid that he would never wake up again if he slept.
”Hum, Junior Leopard, I'll take down the Evil Toad first, then it's time to punish you!”
Xue Wuya was also a man with many provisions. Although he was furious with Junior Leopard, he knew that he already lost the best chance to kill Junior Leopard when he disappeared behind the cliffs. Xue Wuya didn't indulge himself in anger. He closed his eyes slowly, kept himself calm and focused. And Internal Qi was running though his body like underground magma, eroding his sleepiness to keep himself awake.
”It's about time the Evil Toad shows up!” eyes closed, Xue Wuya frowned softly as he noticed the approaching eccentric spirit coming from a cave.”I have to end the battle quickly. Although running my Internal Qi like this can keep me alert, it will do a great damage to my body's tendons and vessels. And Junior Leopard hasn't gone far yet, he is still somewhere around staring at me. I have to figure out a way to entice him out, otherwise I won't last long after the Evil Toad is dead!”
”Xue Wuya must be thinking of a way to lure me out!” Hidden at the entrance of the valley 100 foot away, was Junior Leopard. He was behind a stone secretly watching what was happening within. He panicked when he found that Xue Wuya wasn't asleep and had resisted the Anesthetic Pilll's effects. He also knew there was no way that he could hide from Xue Wuya.
But... He had died once and was reborn, so his mind was much stronger than an ordinary person's.
He calmed down after the panic and then started to think of solutions.
Junior Leopard could infer Xue Wuya's thoughts on the whole as if he was standing in his shoes. For starters, the Anesthetic Pill must have had some effect on Xue Wuya. If there wasn't any effect, Xue Wuya wouldn't suddenly attack him. Secondly, Xue Wuya hadn't eliminated the Anesthetic Pill out of his body, which was the reason why he hadn't followed him. Deeply injured as Xue Wuya was, he was still a Level Eight master, and there was no doubt he could crush Junior Leopard the Level One freshman to ashes with his Internal Qi, even if it was his last gasp.
Now that the Anesthetic Pill was effective, it was obvious that Xue Wuya was resisting against its effects. He even tried to expel it out of his body, but it wasn't successful.
Since he wasn't successful, there would be troubles.
He had to deal with the Evil Toad very soon, and he was still injured. At the same time, he was drugged. When the Evil Toad came, he would be in big trouble. He couldn't fight with the Evil Toad and the Anesthetic Pill at the same time. The Evil Toad wasn't easy to fight against, although it couldn't reach Level Eight, it still had the ability of a Level Five or Level Six. Therefore the only way was to kill the toad quickly. But what about after the toad was dead?
Once Xue Wuya made a big movement and much Internal Qi was consumed, whether he could still resist the Anesthetic Pill or not was a question. What would Junior Leopard do if he was Xue Wuya?
Junior Leopard came to the conclusion, ”He must lure me out when he's at his best condition, and kill me and the Evil Toad at the same time. Maybe that will be my chance too!”
There were always two sides for opportunities.
At the same moment, Junior Leopard noticed a faint earthquake on the ground. A giant figure dashed out of the cave with ear-piercing noises. Dirty mud was scattered all around, it was like mud rain.
