Towards Eternity

Ch 468's. Fire Poison

Zu Zhang's forehead shriveled as he sensed that the Qi on Weng Ning's entire body was being clogged by something and made him unable to drain his Qi at all.

"The winner of this fight is, Lin Mei. He made it to the final round!" zu Zhang exclaimed at everyone who was in the building of the Arena of Matches.

After he said that, Zu Zhang's figure disappeared from the arena field along with Weng Ning. This makes people even more confused and wondering what really happened.

On the other hand, on top of the roof of the Match Arena building, Zu Zhang and Weng Ning also appeared before Yi Chen, Hou Lang, and Feng Lang who were still sitting sweetly in their places.

The appearance of the two made the three of them become a little surprised.

"What's wrong? Why did you bring him here?" yi Chen asked Zu Zhang who was looking at Weng Ning who was currently kneeling.

"Check him, I felt something odd from his Qi channel. There was something blocking him so that he could not control it," explained Zu Zhang who pointed at Weng Ning.

Yi Chen blinked a few times then then looked at each other with Hou Lang.

"Why did you give it to us? You can do it yourself, right?" Hou Lang asked as he frowned.

"If any of you are willing to take my place, then I will gladly check on this girl" Zu Zhang replied.

Yi Chen and Hou Lang immediately turned their eyes away from Zu Zhang. Obviously they are not willing to replace him as a referee in this Free Martial Tournament. Their arrival to this place was very secret, so they could not casually show themselves in public.

Yi Chen finally stood up and immediately touched Weng Ning's wrist and checked her condition.

His forehead grew even more furrowed after seeing that what Zu Zhang said was true.

"You help him, I will continue the tournament," said Zu Zhang who then disappeared and reappeared on the arena field.

Meanwhile, Yi Chen looked at Weng Ning's face for a moment, and saw that the color of her face looked slightly flushed. Not because of embarrassment to be seen by him, but because his body temperature suddenly rose drastically.

"I'll examine your body, don't fight," said Yi Chen who quickly drained his soul force and enveloped Weng Ning's entire body.

Not long after, Yi Chen managed to find the cause. She unhesitatingly flipped over Weng Ning's body and touched his back.

His soul force then began to envelop Weng Ning's back, and before long, Weng Ning's entire body trembled violently.

Weng Ning looked jolted and was about to scream from feeling pain. Just then, Hou Lang flicked his finger, and a protective dome covered their place.

"YAHHHH!!!!"

With a loud voice, Weng Ning shouted out loud. He grimaces in pain. A cold sweat flowed out from within his body, and before long a golden colored needle came out from his back.

Yi Chen immediately picked up the needle and threw it at Hou Lang for inspection.

On the other hand, he also channeled his strength to Weng Ning and recovered his condition. Qi Weng Ning's flow was back to how it was. But even so, Weng Ning's body heat did not decrease in the slightest, instead becoming increasingly hot.

Hou Lang who was given the golden needle by Yi Chen immediately examined the needle using his soul power.

It didn't take long, a drop of yellow liquid was separated by Hou Lang from the blood on the golden needle. Hou Lang touched the liquid and frowned.

"Poison Fire? You kidding?" asked the unbelieving Yi Chen to hear Hou Lang's words.

"You check it out yourself if you don't believe me." Hou Lang thrust a drop of the yellow liquid at Yi Chen and he stared at him.

The true liquid was the Fire Poison, as Hou Lang had said to Yi Chen.

Fire Poison, unlike the usual poison that will cause the effect of wounding someone's body, this poison even has an effect on the Qi of the person it is wearing. The poison would stop the flow of Qi on the body of a Martial Practitioner to make the person completely unable to control his Qi.

Then why was it named Fire Poison? That's because of the other effects of this poison, which will make the body temperature of the victim rise slowly until it eventually causes organ damage in the victim like getting a burn from the inside.

This Fire Poison is actually very famous in the martial world on Black Sand Island, it's just that the ownership of this poison is only owned by one group and never traded.

The group that made and possessed this poison was one of the ruling families in Black Sand Island, the Phoenix Flame Family, that was the Lin Family that lived in the Central Region.

The thing that made Yi Chen previously in disbelief was because as far as Lin Mei was concerned she was not the one who would use something like this Fire Poison to deal with her opponent. Therefore he also started to think who the person who had used something like this Fire Poison was other than Lin Mei.

***

Above the arena, Lin Mei was still standing waiting for Zu Zhang's presence for a while before her figure finally reappeared after taking Weng Ning with her.

"Hm? Why are you still here?" zu Zhang asked him.

He had intended to announce the name that would fight next but since there was Lin Mei he delayed to do so.

"I'm sorry, but why was I declared the winner? Isn't Ning still able to fight? Did he himself declare that he had admitted defeat?" Lin Mei asked with her displeased face.

"I think there's been a misunderstanding between us, Miss Lin. I didn't just decide something in a fight as big as this Free Martial Tournament. Your friend, Weng Ning, her Qi flow suddenly stopped inside her body. I decided to declare himself defeated, instead of letting him die from your attack earlier," Zu Zhang explained to Lin Mei.

"His Qi flow stopped? How could? After he had expended such a large amount of Qi as before, it was impossible for the flow of Qi on his body to stop abruptly!"

"I know that, therefore he is now being examined, and the cause of his stop flow of Qi will surely be exposed - What?! Fire Poison?! You sure?!"

Suddenly Zu Zhang spoke indistinctly, and made Lin Mei even more clueless as to what was happening.

Zu Zhang flipped his body and faced the direction where Yi Chen and the others were.

Yi Chen's voice echoed inside his head and told him that the cause of the cessation of Weng Ning's previous Qi flow was the Fire Poison.

"Fire Poison?"

Lin Mei accidentally heard the remark from Zu Zhang and frowned her forehead. He clearly knew what Fire Poison was, because the poison came from his family.

At the same time, on the chair where Lin Fenghuang was, a terrifying smile appeared from his face staring towards the arena.

In his right hand were 3 gold needles that were exactly the same as the ones coming out from Weng Ning's back.

"Hehehe. I will make him disappear from the people he knows, and be mine alone," said Lin Fenghuang who then chuckled softly at his seat.
