When the man in the forest saw Su Qing’s strength, he turned around and ran deeper into the forest. His leg was injured, and he couldn’t run fast. After running a few steps, he fell to the ground. He struggled to get up and wanted to continue running, but Su Qing pressed her soft sword against his neck and ordered him to get up.
“Get up.”
“I’ll fight it out with you guys.”
The man rose from the ground and pounced on Su Qing like a madman. His eyes were red, his hair was messy, and the black nails on his hands were bent. He looked like a savage.
Su Qing didn’t stab the soft sword into his chest but kicked him away because he didn’t look like one of the Five Ghosts but more like a captured laborer. She didn’t use much strength.
” You’re animals. You promised to let my daughter go if I helped you build the trap. You… Killed her. You’re going too far. I’ll fight you to the death.”
After the man was kicked, he cried like a demon. He got up and rushed at Su Qing again.
Su Qing’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his words. Could this person be Qin Tie?
This time, Su Qing did not kick him away and dodged the attack. Su Qing pressed on his immobilizing acupoint to prevent him from hurting himself. Su Qing looked at the man carefully. He was too dirty. His hair was messy and covered with weeds and leaves. His face was so dirty that only the whites of his eyes were clean.
“You are Qin Tie?”
“Who are you?”
Qin Tie couldn’t move his body. He looked at Su Qing with hatred. He didn’t answer the question but asked another instead.
Seeing that he did not deny it, Su Qing could confirm that he was Qin Tie, so she said,
“I’m here to save you.”
“… Hahaha…Save me? I don’t even know you; why would you come and save me?”
Qin Tie laughed mockingly as if he had heard a joke. He no longer trusted anyone.
I ve already killed the Fifth Ghost to avenge your daughter.”
Su Qing didn’t mention the mold. Qin Tie was filled with hatred now. He hated the Five Ghosts. They had used Qin Tie’s daughter to threaten him into setting traps for them, and they had used Five Poison Valley to trap Qin Tie and not let him out. He must hate them to the core. If Su Qing helped him kill the Five Ghosts, he would let down his guard.
“You… Did you kill Fifth Ghost? Haha… Hmph, this little girl is lying too much. Aren t you afraid that the wind will hurt your tongue?”
Qin Tie sneered when he heard Su Qing’s words. He had searched the martial world, and no one dared to go against the Five Ghosts. Even if he spent all his money, no one dared to help him.
This little girl looked like she was only eighteen or nineteen years old. How could she shake the Five Ghosts, who were so powerful that no one could rival them?
“Believe it or not, I’ll heal the arrow wound on your leg first.”
su Qing did not care about Qin Tie’s mockery and coldly spoke. Her indifference made Qin Tie stop mocking her and sized Su Qing up through the gaps in his dirty hair.
Her eyes were icy, like an emotionless iceberg. She had a chilling temperament.
Just a cold glance at you would make you feel cold.
Qin Tie let go of his contempt for Su Qing. A person with such a powerful aura was not an ordinary person. Her aura was more potent than any martial arts master he had ever seen.
Su Qing allowed him to look at her. She took out a blood-staunching elixir and sprinkled it on his wound. When the bleeding stopped, she said, “Bear with it.” Before Qin Tie could react, he felt a piercing pain in his leg. It was so painful that he shouted, “Ah!”
“It’s alright now.”
Su Qing said lightly and sprinkled the medicine on his wound. Since Xiao Qi wasn’t around, she found a soft white cloth from the system and carefully bandaged Qin Tie.
The wound that was still painful just now was relieved after applying medicine.
Qin Tie believed in Su Qing’s ability.
Su Qing opened Qin Tie’s acupuncture point.” Sit here and wait for me. I still have to go pick herbs.”
“I’ll go with you. I know where to find the medicine.”
Qin Tie wanted to leave this island, and Su Qing was his hope. She didn’t have the mark of the Five Ghosts Sect on her, so she must be an outsider. Since an outsider could come to the island, she must be competent. For some reason, he believed that this woman could take him out.
“Alright.”
Su Qing nodded lightly and let Qin Tie lead the way. At first, Qin Tie was limping, but later on, he realized that his leg did not hurt anymore. He looked at Su Qing strangely. Did she give him a miraculous pill?
Su Qing ignored him. She looked at the green plants on the ground and looked for the Chinese bulbous roots and the indigo leaves.
“The bottom of the valley over there is full of herbs.”
Qin Tie pointed at a valley not far away and told Su Qing, hoping she would quickly pick the herbs she wanted and take him away.
“Alright, wait for me here.”
Su Qing nodded and did not let Qin Tie follow. The road below was not easy to walk, and he would delay things if he followed.
Qin Tie nodded and found a rock to sit on. When he raised his head, he saw Su Qing grabbing onto the vine and flying. He stared at Su Qing in a daze. This girl was amazing.
There were indeed many herbs at the bottom of the valley. There were many precious herbs, but Su Qing did not have time to pick them. She only found the indigo leaves and the Chinese bulbous roots. After picking enough, she grabbed the vines and flew back.
When Qin Tie saw that she had returned, he quickly stood up and looked at Su Qing with awe.
“Let’s go!”
su Qing did not even look at him as she walked past him. This was just a simple sentence. Was this allowing him to follow? Qin Tie hurriedly followed.
Su Qmg brought Qin Tie to the cave where the treasure was hidden. Qin Tie stood outside the cave and refused to go in, no matter what. That was his nightmare. If he had not been clever enough to leave a way out in advance, he would have been suffocated to death in this cave with those craftsmen.
At this moment, his trust in Su Qing was gone. He thought that she was one of the Five Ghosts. Otherwise, how could she have passed the traps he had set up?
Qin Tie was confident in his mechanism, thinking no one could crack it.
“You are one of the Five Ghosts.”
Qin Tie shouted and turned to run, but Su Qing grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
Qin Tie struggled with all his might, but his strength was no match for Su Qing.
He was successfully dragged into the cave.
Xiao Qi was caring for the person whom the mandala smoke had drugged. She looked very anxious. When she heard the footsteps, she saw Su Qing and ran over excitedly.
Just as she was about to call her master, she saw Qin Tie and immediately shut her mouth.
“Here, make medicine.”
Su Qing handed the bulbous head and indigo leaves to Xiao Qi then pulled Qin
Tie and pointed at the fainted person. “It’s all thanks to you.”
When she finished speaking, she saw the Mandala smoke poisoned Qin Tie. His eyes were fierce as he came to strangle her neck. Su Qing had no choice but to press his acupuncture point again.
Xiao Qi quickly made the antidote. Su Qing fed Xiao Zeyu and Zhou Bo the antidote first, while Xiao Qi fed the ten soldiers.
Xiao Zeyu and Zhou Bo woke up after taking the antidote. Zhou Bo felt ashamed when he saw that Su Qing had saved him,
“The old man actually fell for it? It’s all thanks to Qing girl who saved me.”
“Minus fifty jars of wine.”
Su Qing deliberately teased Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo, who had a guilty look on his face just now, immediately shouted,
“That won’t do. It’s too much. You can’t go back on your word.”
Xiao Zeyu noticed that there was an additional person in the tunnel and walked over to check.. The Phoenix Sword was placed on his neck as he shouted, “Who are you?”
