Chapter 185: Poisoning Amidst the Conflict

In a corner of the dilapidated temple, the Qishan Five Tigers clearly did not expect this sudden situation to occur before their eyes.

The third brother, who had just walked out, ran back in.

The few of them looked at their eldest brother in silence.

But the meaning was clearly obvious.

Are we still going to do it or not!

The eldest brother did not speak, his brows locked tight as he looked at the extra martial artists in the Great Hall.

After a long while, the eldest brother clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and he squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth.

"Do it!"

One hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards is one thing, and having these forty or fifty extra martial artists is the same.

To them, although there were a few more variables, since they had already decided to take the risk, they did not care if they had to take a few more.

Hearing his eldest brother's words, the third brother nodded, then ran out again.

Yet Zhu Gaoxu at this moment had no idea that someone wanted to harm him.

Instead, he was listening intently to the chatter of these martial artists.

Zhu Gaoxu was mainly listening to the words of the group with the loud voices.

But even so, Zhu Gaoxu was satisfied.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu figured that what the other two groups were saying should be about the same.

The loud-voiced group first talked about how many days of travel were left, then chatted about Martial Arts styles.

At this time, they began chatting about interesting events that had recently occurred in the pugilistic world.

Zhu Gaoxu listened from the side with great interest.

It had to be said, this was much more interesting than the power struggles in the imperial court.

Just as he was listening, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly discovered that the several groups of people had started a quarrel.

"Regarding this matter of Cangjian Villa, it still has to be our Golden Blade King, Hero Qian; with him stepping in, any problem can be solved."

As soon as the words fell, someone from the other side spoke up: "What does Golden Blade King Qian Bushi count for? If you ask me, it still has to be our Huai'an Three Swordsmen; with them taking action, who wouldn't give them three points of respect?"

The pugilistic world is just like this; one wrong move and a quarrel will break out.

Regarding this, Zhu Gaoxu just listened and watched, with no intention of intervening.

And among those three groups of people, the only group that did not participate was just like Zhu Gaoxu, not speaking, only watching coldly from the sidelines.

And as someone among them spoke up to refute, the two sides began to argue over it.

It looked very much like they would start fighting if they disagreed.

And the Embroidered Uniform Guards also discovered the gunpowder-like atmosphere between the two sides at this time, and all rose one after another to stand guard.

The meaning was very clear: you all can fight as you please, just don't disturb us.

And seeing the matter escalating, the group that was watching the show finally couldn't stand it anymore, and a few people stood up to act as peacemakers.

Just as they were speaking, suddenly one person went limp all over and collapsed directly to the ground.

This gave everyone a shock, thinking that someone was angry and had made a move in the dark.

This caused quite a few people to draw their weapons directly.

But immediately after, someone from the other side also collapsed to the ground.

This made everyone's expression tighten.

Someone went to check of their own accord, and soon provided information.

"Someone used poison, it looks like Muscle-Softening Powder!"

Muscle-Softening Powder?

This caused quite a few people to be shocked in their hearts.

As people of the pugilistic world, they knew the power of this poison.

A poisoned person would be weak all over for at least eight or nine hours; unless their internal energy was extremely strong, otherwise once poisoned with this, they could only be at the mercy of others.

And as everyone looked around, those martial artists fell down one by one.

As people from all three small groups fell, the gazes of the crowd of martial artists finally turned toward Zhu Gaoxu's side.

And Zhu Gaoxu was also completely bewildered at this moment.

What Muscle-Softening Powder? He had no idea at all.

"It was this group of imperial court running dogs who poisoned us!"

Seeing that nothing was wrong on Zhu Gaoxu's side, the crowd naturally assumed that Zhu Gaoxu and his men had plotted against them.

Hearing the other side's cursing, a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards frowned.

They were also completely bewildered at this moment.

Not knowing what had happened, the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had just wanted to take action upon hearing the other side's cursing also began to collapse.

"Thump, thump..."

The sound of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and that group of martial artists falling to the ground was incessant for a time.

Seeing more and more people falling down poisoned, everyone was stunned.

Even if one side had used poison, they couldn't have poisoned their own teammates too.

The group of martial artists who arrived last knew nothing.

But Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up at this moment as he thought of something...

One must know, in this ruined temple, there were not only the two groups in the Great Hall, there was still another group that had never appeared...

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look toward the side room.

At this time, the Embroidered Uniform Guards outside still did not know what had happened inside; after all, no one would have thought that so many people inside could all lose their combat effectiveness without a sound.

At this moment, the Embroidered Uniform Guard still standing inside the Great Hall immediately prepared to go out and call for men.

But before he had walked two steps, the only person left standing in the entire Great Hall was Zhu Gaoxu.

Although everyone still had consciousness, they felt they did not even have the strength to move a finger.

They only felt weak and powerless all over; apart from rolling their eyes, it was as if moving a finger would require exhausting all their strength.

Let alone opening their mouths to speak.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at his surroundings.

Afterwards, he also collapsed directly onto the floor.

The events occurring inside were perfectly masked by the sound of the heavy rain.

The thirty or forty Embroidered Uniform Guards outside were completely unaware of the matters inside.

And at this time, the Qishan Five Tigers, seeing that the poisoning had succeeded, also walked out from the shadows.
