Chapter 555: Fighting back after being oppressed (2)

The black-robed woman didn’t see Chu Xifeng as a threat, but Tang Li’s weapons gave her a headache. It was impossible to defend effectively against them, which was why she couldn’t help Chu Tianyin.

“We only bully old woman like you, so what?” Tang Li lost all his elegance whenever he opened his mouth. As he spoke, he tossed out two more strange weapons, but the woman only managed to dodge one. The other sank into her shoulder—a dart. Still, she bore bravely on and released a cloud of arrows just like Chu Tianyin, each of them twice as powerful as his.

Neither Chu Xifeng nor Tang Li could block them all, so they opted to get out of the way. By now, Long Feiye had already completely overwhelmed Chu Tianyin. He was about to slash the man when the black-robed woman shot an arrow at him from the side. Long Feiye swerved out of the way, but the sword in his hands didn’t stop. It merely changed direction to slice off a few strands of Chu Tianyin’s hair.

Once again, Long Feiye stabbed towards Chu Tianyin, who hastily dodged. The black-robed woman prepared to shoot again when a single bristly bramble suddenly shot out from the undergrowth and twined around her wrists, trapping the arrow in her hands.

“What’s that?”

“A vine?”

Both Chu Xifeng and Tang Li were shocked, but so was Han Yunxi. Gu Qishao only grinned wickedly without saying a word. He had finally found some suitable earth to plant his seed. It was about time he showcased a few secret skills of his own.

“Witch Aunt!” Chu Tianyin cried out.

So this woman really was the famed Witch Aunt from the other old woman’s lips!

The Witch Aunt was very calm as she snapped back, “Hold fast to your arrows! A cheap trick like this won’t stop your Witch Aunt!” So speaking, the vine binding her hands suddenly shriveled up and withered, along with the one holding her weapon hostage. As the plant fell towards the ground, Witch Aunt held onto a massive arrow and pulled back on her invisible bow, aiming for Long Feiye.

“You dared to poison this old man’s thorny vine!” Gu Qishao raged as he tossed another seed. Once again, the vine grew wildly upwards, tying Witch Aunt up seconds before she released the arrow. Unfortunately, her poison arts were so formidable that she soundlessly poisoned the vine almost as soon as it grabbed her.

As soon as the vine made contact with her, it wilted. Gu Qishao refused to believe his luck and kept trying with multiple vines, but all of them died from poison at Witch Aunt’s hands. He could only lament the loss of all those seeds!

Witch Aunt had long discovered what Gu Qishao was up to and gave him a supercilious look. “Insignificant skills! You’re making a fool of yourself!”

Gu Qishao was so angry that he grit his teeth, but it was then that Han Yunxi murmured, “Old fiend, keep it up.”

“This old man’s only got three seeds left,” Gu Qishao had to tell the truth. It was easy enough to use them, but raising them took extreme effort!

“One will be enough. Let me play with it first,” Han Yunxi smiled coldly.

Gu Qishao was doubtful, but Han Yunxi was already sticking out her hand. “Hand it over, what are you hesitating for?”

He was willing to give her everything without her asking for anything, much less now. Gu Qishao happily handed over a seed to Han Yunxi, who toyed with it briefly in her hand before returning it to Gu Qishao. “Try it now.”

Quite obedient, Gu Qishao tossed out the seed, which once again sprouted into a vine that flew up towards the Witch Aunt. She ignored it completely as she dodged Tang Li’s weapons while drawing her invisible bow towards Long Feiye. But this time, the vine didn’t die from her poisons. It climbed onto her back instead. Alarmed, Witch Aunt looked back to see the vine spreading from her back to pin her completely in place, leaving her motionless. She had clearly used hypertoxic poison against the thing that was many times stronger than the poisons before it.

But why did this happen?

Witch Aunt couldn’t believe it. She tried poisoning the vine again, but it only held her tighter instead of dying. Finally, she looked towards Han Yunxi, the only culprit capable of performing such a feat. Even though she was tied up fast, she still asked with a superior air, “How….how did you counter the poison?”

Han Yunxi was standing below Witch Aunt, but her attitude was no less arrogant. She arched a brow and shot back, “What, you still haven’t figured it out yet?”

“You!” Witch Aunt fumed. She was considered one of the founding members of the poison community, but she’d never been so humiliated by a junior before.

“Looks like you really can’t tell. With skills like this, you still want to fool around?” Han Yunxi was definitely angering her to death. Witch Aunt’s face was even turning green with rage, but she still couldn’t believe it. How could Han Yunxi have made an antidote within the few seconds she used her poison? Moreover, her toxin was both colorless and scentless. Han Yunxi hadn’t even touched the dead vines! How could she figure out what kind of poison it was?
