Chapter 365 - 364: Rescue
Chapter 365: Chapter 364: Rescue
Tao Cuizhu naturally did not miss the smile on the old poison master’s lips. Her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and she used all her strength to slam her head onto the opponent’s.
With this move, Tao Cuizhu exerted all her strength, so the impact was not small.
Only a "bang" was heard, the two heads collided with blood flowing.
The old poison master really didn’t expect the girl like a little white mouse to dare do this; defenseless, his eyes saw stars, feeling like numerous flies were buzzing ’buzz buzz’ in his head.
Yiyi also didn’t expect Tao Cuizhu to make such a move. After the initial surprise, she quickly brought Tao Cuizhu to her side.
But at that moment, Tao Cuizhu’s condition was not very good, her neck was covered in bruises, showing how much force the old poison master had used. If things went wrong, Tao Cuizhu could have died. Besides this, the injury on her forehead was not light, swollen high, making her nearly unconscious.
"Cuizhu... wake up."
However, Tao Cuizhu didn’t react.
Seeing this, Yiyi, somewhat nervous, checked Tao Cuizhu’s pulse, and after noticing she was not in danger, she finally relaxed.
But before Yiyi could breathe a sigh of relief, the old poison master also reacted. He wobbled up, his face even more sinister, "Well... good job, I see you truly don’t want to live anymore. Just right, for the new experiment, I need lots of little white mice. I will make you regret offending me."
Saying this, the old poison master took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it once.
Seeing the whistle, Yiyi’s pupils shrank. How could she forget this whistle? It’s the old poison master’s trump card, and once blown, his top guards will come to protect him. Now, not just facing him, would they have to deal with those top-notch fighters too?
"You’ve exhausted all my patience. I originally planned to leave you a way out, but since you choose to seek death, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"Valley Master, what’s the matter?"
From the whistle sound to now, only seconds passed before two men abruptly appeared, looking towards the old poison master for task assignment.
Seeing these two, Yiyi instinctively felt danger. Their hands were definitely stained with blood, and she subconsciously glanced at Gu Tingyu, with worry in her eyes. She feared this time they might really fall here.
Gu Tingyu’s face was extremely grim as he instructed Wei Zixiao to gather the wounded together. Those who were unhurt or only lightly injured would fully resist the enemy.
Yiyi stood beside Gu Tingyu, speaking in a deep voice, "Gu Tingyu, we will definitely get out."
The words were meant to motivate herself and Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu nodded after hearing her, "Yes, we will definitely get out."
"Hmph... still dreaming of getting out, it’s simply wishful thinking. No one has ever left Medicine Valley alive." After saying this, the old poison master made a gesture for the two men who had just arrived to move forward.
The two men, with cold faces, wasted no words, directly attacking Yiyi and Gu Tingyu. They immediately identified Yiyi and Gu Tingyu as the most skilled among the group, hence they engaged them without hesitation.
Yiyi naturally dared not be careless, fully confronting a slightly shorter man. However, once the fight started, she was secretly surprised. Previously, she knew the old poison master had two particularly skilled guards, but didn’t expect their skills to be this formidable, almost comparable to Guo Ming.
Gu Tingyu was also struggling. Though he considered himself skilled, he was still at a disadvantage compared to the man before him. Soon, he exposed a flaw, and the man seized the opportunity, punching him in the chest.
"Bang..."
Gu Tingyu was sent flying from the impact, finally crashing to the ground.
"Tingyu..."
Seeing Gu Tingyu wounded, Yiyi couldn’t help but feel anxious.
But the situation didn’t allow her to be distracted. Just in a blink, the man took advantage and kicked her to the ground.
"You really have impressive skills, young lady."
The man couldn’t help but glance at Yiyi, slightly impressed. Such skilled women are rare nowadays, encountering one today was truly unexpected.
However, hearing this, the old poison master glared at the man, "A Hai, why are you praising people now? Later, take them all to the lab; I will experiment on them today."
Hearing this, Yiyi shakily stood up, looked at the old poison master, sneered, "You’re the dreamer. Even if we die, we will never let you experiment on us."
"That’s not up to you."
The old poison master paid no mind to Yiyi’s words, directly ordering to start capturing people, determined to teach them a lesson today.
"I’d like to see who dares make a move."
Amidst the one-sided scene, another voice came from behind.
Turning back, Yiyi saw another group arriving, and the leader looked familiar.
"Little Miss, we’re late."
The leader moved forward, respectfully addressing Yiyi as soon as he saw her.
Yiyi quickly waved her hand, "Not late, you came just in time." Finally, she remembered who he was, Mr. Ding’s most capable Hidden Guard, Yun Chu.
Recalling what Mr. Ding said before, Yiyi patted her chest, slowly stood up, her gaze sharp towards the old poison master, coldness in her eyes, "Yun Chu, capture him."
"Yes, Little Miss."
Yun Chu, without hesitation, moved forward.
The old poison master wanted to laugh, "You really are fearless, wanting to capture me. I’d like to see if you can escape today."
Yun Chu had no time for this nonsense. He had already instructed his men, urging the Hidden Guards to act swiftly.
Clearly, the old poison master still relied on his two guards.
However, as the two sides clashed, surprise filled their eyes, astonished by each other’s skills.
Even Yun Chu raised an eyebrow in surprise, but his purpose this time was to rescue the Little Miss; he cared for nothing else. Since these people obstructed, removing them was the solution.
Seeing Yun Chu’s people match the others, Yiyi finally released a sigh of relief. She slowly walked to Gu Tingyu’s side, worriedly asked, "Tingyu, how are you? Hurt anywhere?"
By now, Gu Tingyu had sat up. Hearing Yiyi’s question, he shook his head, "I’m fine."
Yiyi didn’t believe him; his pale face revealed the severity of his injury.
Thinking of this, her resentment for the old poison master deepened. Slowly, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, nonchalantly moving forward.
