Chapter 433: Poisoning

If he had not obtained that memory from the mind of Wei Xiong's Clone, Lu Yu had originally intended to quietly place this Demon Breaking Blade he held in his hand onto this Clone.

In this way, when the Clone met with Wei Xiong's true body, he could take advantage of the lack of preparation and strike Wei Xiong's true body with a single blow.

After all, ordinary blades, even in a surprise attack, were highly likely to be blocked by the Protective Shield on Wei Xiong's body, making it difficult to harm him in the slightest.

But the Demon Breaking Blade was completely different; its power was sufficient to penetrate the defense and reach the vital points directly.

However, this method had many drawbacks; recovering the blade was a major difficulty, and once there was the slightest carelessness in the action, there was a risk of exposure, which might result in losing both the battle and the resources.

By comparison, using Poison seemed much easier.

In this current world, wanting to obtain poison was not a difficult task.

Moreover, judging from the memory of Wei Xiong's Clone earlier, the timing to use the poison was also not hard to find.

This guy Wei Xiong, it was estimated that because he had died too many times, the difficulty of his cultivation was more than ten times harder than that of others in the same Realm, so he desperately piled resources onto himself.

When meditating and cultivating normally, compared to ordinary people, he was more prone to distraction, so he frantically drank tea that could stabilize his mind.

But the more he drank this stuff, the worse the effect became, and the worse the effect, the more he had to drink it.

In this way, didn't the opportunity appear?

Lu Yu looked around, found an extremely hidden place, and after properly hiding Wei Xiong's Clone, he rushed toward the nearest city.

Just a few minutes later, he returned in a hurry with a bag of poison.

This bag of poison was a potent poison made by grinding two types of poisonous plants from the wild; due to the mixing, the toxicity was more than doubled.

Even if a Martial Artist in the True Essence Realm drank it carelessly, if they did not discover it in time, there would be a danger to their life; as for those below the True Essence Realm, once they drank it, even if they discovered it, it would be too late, and there would be no time to provide rescue.

"Fortunately, this guy is only a C-Class Awakened; if it were a B-Class Awakened, for a moment, I really wouldn't be able to come up with that much money to purchase this poison," Lu Yu thought to himself.

His gaze fell on a ring worn on the right thumb of Wei Xiong's Clone; this was a Space Item, and it was not set with a password, so it could be opened using only the Clone's fingerprint.

Correspondingly, the space of this Space Ring was not large, only one cubic meter, and inside it were only some basic daily necessities, which were not of high value.

Lu Yu carefully stuffed the bag of poison in his hand into the folded clothes, thinking to himself: "This time, it should be foolproof."

Unless Wei Xiong turned these clothes completely inside out, it would be absolutely impossible to discover this bag of poison.

Lu Yu put the Space Ring back on the Clone, then pried open the other party's eyelids and once again performed the Soul Shifting Great Method.

A few seconds later, Lu Yu exhaled lightly, slowly withdrew his hand, and the task was successfully completed.

Before seeing Wei Xiong's true body, this Clone would not show any abnormalities, but once he saw the true body and was arranged by the true body to pour tea, the command would be activated, and he would take out the hidden poison and pour it into the tea.

As long as Wei Xiong drank this cup of tea, he would undoubtedly die.

Of course, if he sensed that something was wrong and did not drink the tea, then there was no help for it.

As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes; all Lu Yu could do was to do what he could to the best of his ability, and the rest could only depend on God's will.

"Fortunately, Tian Wei is already dead; even if Wei Xiong returns and tries to make a comeback, it will be of no use if he cannot find me," Lu Yu thought to himself.

Moreover, tomorrow morning, the Heavenly God Fruit would be completely ripe.

At that time, he would give the fruit to Ji Wanqing to help her break through, and in this way, he would be able to obtain Ji Wanqing's help.

Even if he encountered danger in the future, he would be able to know in advance and formulate countermeasures.

After confirming that everything was ready, Lu Yu reached out and tapped two acupoints on the Clone's body.

The Clone on the ground immediately opened his eyes, and Wei Xiong's voice sounded: "What did you do to me?"

As he spoke, he moved his body, carefully feeling the changes before and after.

"Someone approached just now, and I didn't want our business to be known by others, so I knocked you out and brought you to another place," Lu Yu glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "Besides, do you think if I wanted to harm you, I would have waited until now?"

A trace of suspicion flashed in Wei Xiong's eyes. However, he had just carefully checked his body and did not find anything unusual.

"Could it be that I was overthinking it?" he muttered to himself in his heart.

The Clone and his true body shared a mental connection; if there were any abnormalities, it would be impossible to hide them from his perception.

"Fine, I'll believe you once," he nodded and said, "How about it, have you considered what I told you before?"

Lu Yu frowned and said, "If I let you go this time, will you really let bygones be bygones and stop bringing people to cause me trouble?"

"Do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't keep his word?" Wei Xiong asked back.

"Doesn't look like it."

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, "The last time I killed you, you said you would bring people to find me, and facts proved that you did indeed keep your promise."

Hearing this, Wei Xiong was almost so angry that he spat out a mouthful of old blood.

This bastard was definitely doing it on purpose, right? Specifically picking things he didn't like to hear.

He was furious inside, but he still wore a smile on his face and said, "That's right, so you can completely trust me; let me go back, and I guarantee I won't bring people to cause you trouble again."

Lu Yu showed an expression of being moved, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, as if he still had some concerns.

"Friend, what are you still hesitating about?" Wei Xiong urged, "I've already said it to this point, do you still not believe me?"

"How about this,"

Lu Yu had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way, "You swear, swear that after you go back, you won't bring people to cause me trouble, and I will let you go; otherwise, I really find it hard to believe your words."

"Swear, swear?"

Wei Xiong was startled, obviously caught off guard.

"That's right."

Lu Yu nodded heavily, his gaze fixed tightly on the other party's eyes, "If you are willing to take a poisonous oath, I will believe you."

Wei Xiong was a bit hesitant. In this current world, compared to ten years ago, it was already vastly different.

Ten years ago, whether there was such a thing as retribution, no one could say for sure, otherwise there wouldn't be the saying "the good don't live long, while the wicked live for a thousand years."

But ten years later, Awakened appeared one after another, possessing extraordinary power; besides that, ordinary people could also become Martial Artists by tempering their bodies.

In such an environment, whether there was retribution was hard to say.

However, the fierce-looking big man in front of him was holding a blade and staring at him so intently.

As long as he dared to say a word of refusal, the next second this blade would likely pierce his chest.
