Chapter 246

"By the time he was dragged down into the swamp, I sprinkled some more of my secret, deadly poison on him; after that, he was already completely unconscious!"

"Even when Qiao Feng tried to save him, there wasn't the slightest reaction!"

"I suspect that by that time, he was already a dead man!"

"They went to such great lengths just to bring back a corpse!"

The Hundred Poison King said with confidence.

However, this claim made a huge crowd frown:

"It's true he was poisoned, but... even if poisoned, he could still be saved!"

"Can your poison really work?"

The Hundred Poison King said confidently, "There will definitely be no problem!"

He shouted!

Yet, no matter how flowery his words were, the crowd's brows remained tightly furrowed!

Someone even waved his hand directly and said, "No matter how deadly the poison, it's not as reassuring as chopping off his head!"

He spoke out!

Someone else chimed in, "Yes!"

"For someone as ferocious as him, I won't believe he's dead unless I see his corpse with my own eyes!"

"Even if you press him into the swamp today and let his body sink in the swamp for three days and three nights, if we don't dredge up his corpse, I won't believe he's dead!"

"Not just him, Li Cunxiao is the same!"

"One Li Cunxiao, one Li Yuanba—both of them are too ferocious!"

"Even if their corpses were placed before me, I would still feel panicked; I must chop their corpses into minced meat and then burn them to ash with a great fire before I believe they are dead!"

"Otherwise, I don't believe it!"

"I simply don't believe it!"

He spoke out.

Although this claim was quite exaggerated, yet... all the experts present did not think it was exaggerated at all!

Instead, they all thought it was reasonable!

Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao!

What ferocious people these two were!

One could fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers and never know fatigue!

Only by poisoning him with deadly toxins could fifty horses drag him into the swamp!

The other was even more damn perverted, with steel bones and skin impenetrable to blades and arrows; what a perverted thing were the Mohist mechanical beasts!

Yet when a spider leg stabbed his head, it couldn't even pierce his scalp!

And his neck, throat, and other vital spots—no matter how swords and blades were used to chop, they couldn't harm him in the slightest!

What was even more perverted was... fifty horses couldn't pull him!

Remember, that was fifty horses!

Yet he could make fifty horses retreat, snapping all the ropes with sheer force!

Perverted!

Truly quite perverted!

For such figures, no method used against them is too much!

But no matter what the crowd said, the Hundred Poison King still insisted that Li Yuanba was dead!

Not only was Li Yuanba dead, but Li Cunxiao might also have been poisoned!

Because... after Li Cunxiao's mask was chopped off by swords and blades, there was medicinal powder right in front of him!

At that distance, it was highly likely that Li Cunxiao had inhaled it!

The Hundred Poison King spoke thus.

But... the crowd remained skeptical.

They simply couldn't believe these two could be killed by poison!

And the facts proved that the guesses of the vast majority were correct!

But... the Hundred Poison King's claim was not wrong either!

Because... Li Yuanba really could be poisoned to death!

When he was rescued, his entire body had turned blue-green!

Even his breathing was nearly gone!

After Li Cunxiao came down from the battlefield, he crashed to the ground with a boom!

Fan Kuai and Lu Wan were both entirely purple.

Especially Fan Kuai; he was poisoned the deepest, and now his entire arm was ice-cold!

"This... this..."

"Ah!"

Han Xin was completely stunned and numb!

He immediately called for the military doctors to treat the two!

At the same time, he ordered an immediate retreat!

All troops withdrew to a hundred li away!

But just before the retreat, Wang Jian immediately left Zhou Bo and Xia Houying behind, saying to them:

"Stay here and monitor; if they walk out of the swamp, report immediately!"

"Additionally... you..."

He pointed at Qiao Feng, momentarily unsure how to address him!

Qiao Feng and Lu Da bowed separately to Wang Jian, saying, "Qiao Feng, Lu Da!"

"You two also stay here. Once they arrive, do not engage in a prolonged battle, but do not refuse to fight; retreat while fighting! Buy time for the main army to withdraw!"

"Now is our most dangerous moment!"

As Wang Jian spoke, both men bowed down!

"Good!"

Inside the swamp!

When everyone returned dejected, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and Xiang Yu were all furious!

Furious that such a splendid opportunity had allowed Li Yuanba to escape!

The experts of the Central Plains said nothing!

They were also extremely furious and felt deep regret!

The one most angered was the Master!

The Mohist mechanical beasts; these were divine beasts originally used to protect the Mohist school!

But... in today's battle, three Mohist mechanical beasts were utterly destroyed!

Now, the entire Mohist school has only the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise, two mechanical beasts remaining!

This made him infinitely furious!

Everyone was seething with anger!

But some Xiongnu soldiers reported the specific battle situation to Fan Zeng and the Xiongnu King.

After hearing the detailed account, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu was simply stunned numb!

Watching from afar just now, he only knew Li Cunxiao was ferocious beyond measure.

Upon learning that Li Cunxiao was invulnerable to blades and spears, the Xiongnu King was simply stunned numb!

In this world, there actually exists a person so invulnerable to blades and spears!

His scalp tingled!

But... after hearing the soldier's detailed report, Fan Zeng suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring wide-eyed at the soldier:

"Are you saying... both Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao have been poisoned?"

He asked!

But the soldier was not certain!

Fan Zeng did not delay, and simply turned to ask the King of Hundred Poisons:

"Are you certain that both Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao have been poisoned?"
