Chapter 170: Detoxification

"No need to thank me; it was them who insisted on saving you."

Li Youyi looked back and found that Mie Di and Dao Di were always one mile behind. This was a headache. If they kept following, the two would sooner or later become suspicious.

But if they didn't leave as soon as possible, more and more enemies would arrive.

Suddenly.

Chen Wenwu's sword intent came from the night curtain, sharp and oppressive even from ten miles away.

"Damn it! The Coffin Mountain two Di are not familiar with Cang Li and can be easily deceived. But Chen Wenwu has known Cang Li since he was a child. Once he gets close, he might notice something wrong."

What worried Li Youyi even more was that once Chen Wenwu arrived, the three top experts would gather, and they might have the confidence to take action.

If he couldn't deter them, the trouble would be big!

Li Youyi's mind turned, patted the Zouwu's neck, looked down on the night curtain, and shouted: "Chen Wenwu, finally found you. Tonight is your death day."

Tiger roars and killing intent erupted simultaneously, rushing toward the direction Chen Wenwu was coming from.

Chen Wenwu had just arrived at six or seven miles away when he saw a figure that looked exactly like Cang Li on the back of the Zouwu on the sea, holding a silver spear and rushing over with killing intent. His heart couldn't help but feel cold.

Since the complete falling out between the Three Chen Palaces and the Jiuli clan at Burial Xianzhen, the person Chen Wenwu feared most was Cang Li. He knew Cang Li's strength too well; if he encountered him, he would surely die.

Moreover, Chen Wenwu had killed many Five Seas Realm martial cultivators of the Jiuli clan at Burial Xianzhen, and Cang Li already hated him to the bone.

"Don't think you are invincible in the world! Tonight in the Soldier Ancestor Marsh, there is more than one expert at the inheritor level. If you have the guts, chase after me."

Chen Wenwu left this harsh word, turned and fled, performing the Spirit Smoke Mist Invisibility Technique, his body turning into a cloud of smoke and disappearing into the night curtain at the fastest speed.

Li Youyi chased for a while, then immediately changed direction, asking in a low voice: "How much strength do you have left? Can you still fight?"

Jiang Ning's lips were black, and black patterns appeared on the pure immortal body skin exposed outside the armor, and blood vessels were visible. She was already drowsy, her consciousness gradually blurring, and she whispered: "In the Nether Realm of the Dead, I was poisoned by the Night Emperor Toad and have been relying on magic Qi to suppress it. But in the past few days, after continuous battles, I couldn't suppress it with all my strength. Tonight, I'm afraid I won't make it!"

"Li Youyi, while I still have one last breath, I can help you hold off the Coffin Mountain two Di for a while. Run for your life! I have nothing to say about today's friendship; I am very moved..."

"Stop being moved, come forward, time is very tight," Li Youyi said.

Jiang Ning raised some spirit slightly, and a look of confusion appeared in her pupils.

Without waiting for her to react, Li Youyi turned around and grabbed her waist belt, lifting her whole person into his arms, not forgetting to show a cold sneer at the Coffin Mountain two Di one mile behind.

Jiang Ning sat facing him. Her hair bun had long been scattered in the battle, and her beautiful face had no spirit, like a dying person, with a kind of broken beauty on her body.

"Take off the armor first... I have a way to detoxify," Li Youyi said.

Jiang Ning was skeptical, raised her arms, and the metal arm guards on her two forearms knocked together. Light flashed, and the soft armor covering her whole body quickly shrank into the two arm guards.

The clothes soaked through with pitch-black and sticky poisonous blood appeared.

The poison wound was on her back. Li Youyi reached out and touched it lightly; it was severely rotten.

She could survive only because her cultivation was high and she had been using magic Qi to protect her body.

Li Youyi gasped, having no confidence at all in his heart, and pointed two fingers at her heart, releasing magic Qi to probe: "The heart hasn't been corroded by the poison liquid. Maybe there's still a chance!"

He fed her a plant of Dyeing Mist Exotic Medicine and drank another mouthful of Golden Spring.

"If I really save you back tonight, you have to pay me back ten times for these medicines."

Li Youyi instructed: "Circulate magic Qi, move the poison liquid toward the trace veins in your body, and flow backward toward the spring eye."

"This... once the Night Emperor Toad poison decays the trace veins, the cultivation will soon be completely crippled... Are you sure the Night Emperor Toad poison is ineffective against trace veins?"

No martial cultivator dared to joke about their cultivation. It was precisely for this reason that Jiang Ning had been using magic Qi to protect the trace veins in her body all these days.

"Besides believing me, do you have any other choice?" Li Youyi said.

Jiang Ning was decisive, immediately performing the breathing method, and according to his instructions, used her whole body's trace veins to move the Night Emperor Toad poison in her body.

Li Youyi took out a Broken Spring Needle, pinched it between two fingers, grabbed her palm, and stabbed toward the spring eye in the center of her palm.

Then it was the center of the other hand, both feet, Zhongshu, Shanzhong, Baihui, Fengfu, and Ancestral Field.

All nine spring acupoints were stabbed with a blood point.

The method taught by Master Can was to let him suck out the Night Emperor Toad poison.

How could Li Youyi not understand what that old guy was thinking?

A woman like Jiang Ning looked extremely serious at a glance.

Really provoking her was definitely not a good thing. Since everyone was in an adversarial relationship, there was no need to go too deep, so that they could strike hard when they met on the battlefield in the future.

Li Youyi released the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, landing on seven acupoints on Jiang Ning's body.

The seven little ones didn't know why they liked Jiang Ning so much, not afraid of the Night Emperor Toad poison at all, helping her suck out the poison moved toward the spring eye mouthful by mouthful.

Behind, Mie Di said: "Cang Li seems to be helping Jiang Ning detoxify."

"That's just futile! I observe that Jiang Ning's poison is already deep, and it's no longer something that can be saved by medicine and magic Qi. If the Second Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace came in person, perhaps she could be saved," Dao Di said.

Mie Di said: "I always feel something is wrong. Why is Cang Li returning to Giant Marsh City? Isn't he arrogant and doesn't even fear the Young Venerable?"

"You really think he is a stupid person? He is just arrogant, not unintelligent. Taking a severely injured Jiang Ning to collide with the Young Venerable?" After a pause, Dao Di added: "Qi Adult found out she was tricked and should be rushing back too!"

Time passed.

Most of the Night Emperor Toad poison in Jiang Ning's body was quickly cleared. The Dyeing Mist Exotic Medicine made the flesh and blood on her body glow with vitality again, and the Golden Spring was absorbed by the blood, circulating through her whole body.

Even the wound on her back was shrouded in golden light and immortal mist, and the pain almost disappeared.

Her skin and eyes quickly regained their brightness, no longer so sickly.

"So from the beginning, my direction was wrong. To force out the Night Emperor Toad poison, it's not relying on the physical body, but on the trace veins. How did you know?" Jiang Ning closed her eyes lightly, and her tone also had a sense of power.

"Instead of thinking about these, you'd better think more about how much money you should pay me as a reward." Li Youyi looked back.

Behind him, the Coffin Mountain two Di rushed forward several times, narrowing the distance, clearly having discovered that something was wrong and were eager to take action to test.

Li Youyi frowned tightly, seeing that the magic Qi in Jiang Ning's body had no surplus at all, and even if the Night Emperor Toad poison was cleared, her body was extremely weak and needed time to recuperate.

"What tier is your magic Qi?" he asked.

"Sixth tier... Here they come. The two of them are still prepared to take the risk. They won't let us return to Giant Marsh City. You go first. The poison in my body is already very thin and can be controlled. Dealing with the two of them is not a difficult task."

Jiang Ning stopped clearing the poison and flew up like a wisp of wind, flying to a few zhang above the sea surface.

"Whoosh!"

Activating the soft armor to cover her whole body again, she stood proudly in the air holding a sword, the light shadow of wings on her back unfolding, and a majestic building palace suspended above her head, her battle method intent entering a complete state.

One sword slashed horizontally, and the flying feathers accompanied the sword Qi. The arc light was dozens of zhang wide, beating Mie Di and Dao Di, who were rushing from the sea surface, into a retreat.

"The Night Emperor Toad poison in my body has been cleared. Are you two in a hurry to die?" Jiang Ning's face was cold and beautiful, and the momentum on her body was enough to be comparable to her peak period.

Li Youyi knew she was bluffing, so he raised the silver spear high: "Then one for each. Mie Di belongs to me. Let's compare who kills their opponent first."

Mie Di and Dao Di turned and fled, magic Qi surging all over their bodies, directly escaping into the sea, wanting to escape from the bottom of the water.

Jiang Ning fell back onto the back of the Zouwu, with no joy on her face, looking toward a direction in the night curtain: "She is here! The bluffing move can scare away Chen Wenwu and the Coffin Mountain two Di, but it can't scare her. This is a battle I must face. It has nothing to do with you. Run quickly."

Li Youyi saw the blue-skirted figure driving a small boat from the sea, who was exactly the Qi Adult wearing Zhuang Yue's human skin.

"In your current state, I'm afraid you are not her opponent," Li Youyi said.

Jiang Ning said: "You think you can escape? Fleeing without fighting is certain death. Fighting, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope!"

Qi Adult arrived. Mie Di and Dao Di, who had escaped to the bottom of the water, immediately returned to the sea surface, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding them in a fan shape with her.

Qi Adult smiled, her voice the same as Zhuang Yue's: "Feather Fairy is not only top-notch in beauty in the world, but the figure outlined by wearing this soft armor also makes me very satisfied."

Jiang Ning had long seen through that Zhuang Yue was fake, so she naturally understood that Zhuang Yue must have died in her hands. Her eyes, which were originally cold and ruthless, now had complex emotions, with killing intent, hatred, and friendship intertwined.

Never before had the thought of killing someone been so firm as it was at this moment.

"I can lend you a treasure! Can I trust you?" Li Youyi finally said this.

The word "trust," sometimes, carries a lot of weight.

Jiang Ning was slightly puzzled: "For others, I can only say I will try my best. For you, I can make an exception once. You can have the greatest trust in me."

After thinking about it, she added another sentence: "I won't use it for free; I will pay!"

Li Youyi took out the Ghost Flag and handed it over, feeling some expectation in his heart about how powerful the power of the ghost shadow in the flag would be under the activation of the sixth-tier Qi.
