Shuā.
No sooner had it been said than it was done.
As soon as Qingzi made her move, Du Fei quickly raised his hand, and a gleam of light flew out from it.
Ding.
After a faint sound, everyone saw a palm-sized scorpion pinned to the living room wall by a golden needle.
"This is impossible!"
After the shock, the first to react was Qingzi.
She had immense faith in the Five Poisons Heavenly Venerate bestowed upon her by the village chief, for it was one of the most potent venomous insects in their Lava Village.
Yet, one of the Five Poisons Heavenly Venerates, the venomous scorpion, was now so easily dispatched by Du Fei. It was no wonder Qingzi was stunned.
At the same time, Zhang Zicheng's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.
As expected of Mr. Du, they were saved this time.
"Your Ah Lang, who treated human lives like worthless grass, met this fate because he brought it upon himself."
After Du Fei killed one of the Five Poisons Heavenly Venerates, the venomous scorpion, and saved Zheng Erniu and his daughter, he walked over to Zhang Zicheng.
He glanced at Zhang Zicheng and, seeing that he was unharmed, spoke to Qingzi in a low voice.
At the previous alliance meeting, that Lin Fenggong took a life with every move.
Had Du Fei not intervened then, it was certain that, given his cold-blooded nature, he would have killed everyone who opposed him on the spot. This was beyond doubt.
"Nonsense! Even if Ah Lang killed those guys, it's because those people were trash!!!"
Qingzi was in a frenzy, her face contorted with ferocity.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zicheng could no longer restrain himself. Before Du Fei could speak, he shouted, "Ah Lang's life is precious, but others are trash? If Mr. Du hadn't acted that day, he would have killed at least dozens of people!"
Du Fei had initially felt some pity for Qingzi, thinking she was driven by grief and a desire for revenge after losing her husband.
However, upon hearing her biased words, Du Fei's sliver of sympathy vanished completely.
"I'll kill you."
Qingzi glared at Zhang Zicheng and was about to command the venomous centipede to bite him.
But to her surprise, after a full minute, Zhang Zicheng was still unharmed.
What was going on?
"Are you looking for this?"
Du Fei, standing beside Zhang Zicheng, pointed to the ground with his finger.
The venomous centipede, with its bristly antennae, looked utterly repulsive. It was already on its back, undeniably dead.
"Aaaahhh!!! I'll kill you!"
With two of the Five Poisons Heavenly Venerates dead in an instant, Qingzi's rage could no longer be contained.
Qingzi stomped her foot and charged towards Du Fei.
Bang!
Seeing Qingzi charging at him with a ferocious face, Zhang Zicheng tried to retreat, but his legs had gone numb from standing for too long. He collapsed to the ground as soon as he tried to move.
The next second, Qingzi, who was charging, slammed into the wall behind her at an even greater speed.
"Ah!"
Qingzi paused slightly, then stomped her foot and charged again.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Again and again, Qingzi was like a madwoman.
However, the gap in strength between Qingzi and Du Fei was simply too vast. Even though she was willing to risk her life, she couldn't inflict the slightest harm on Du Fei.
At this point, Qingzi's hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn in several places, and she was spitting blood from her mouth. She looked utterly pathetic.
Yet, even so, Qingzi continued to glare at Du Fei with venomous eyes.
If looks could kill, Du Fei would have died hundreds of times by now.
Suddenly, Qingzi's gaze shifted to the side. The remaining three venomous insects on her person flew out, targeting Zheng Erniu's wife and daughter.
It turned out that Qingzi, realizing she couldn't avenge Ah Lang, harbored malicious intent and decided to drag the mother and daughter, who were within reach, down with her.
As she made her move, Du Fei acted swiftly in response.
But because there was still some distance between them, Du Fei's golden needle only managed to kill two of the venomous insects.
The venomous snake, one of the Five Poisons Heavenly Venerates, bit Zheng Erniu's wife, who was shielding her daughter.
"Ah!"
The piercing pain made Zheng Erniu's wife cry out.
The girl in her arms heard her and quickly turned to look at her, her face full of concern. "Mom, Mom, what's wrong?"
"Mom, hiss... Mom, I'm, I'm fine."
Even though her arm throbbed with excruciating pain, as a mother, she mustered all her strength to force a smile and answer her daughter, not wanting her to worry.
"I'll kill you!!"
Seeing Zheng Erniu's wife bitten by the venomous snake, Zhang Zicheng's rage instantly flared.
He picked up the gun that had fallen from his subordinate's hand and pulled the trigger repeatedly towards Qingzi.
The entire magazine was emptied, and Qingzi immediately sustained several gunshot wounds.
"Ah Lang, Ah Lang, I'm coming to find you."
It had to be said that although Qingzi was cold-blooded and merciless towards others, she was deeply devoted to Lin Fenggong.
Even as she was dying, she was still lost in his memory.
Perhaps it was a final surge of energy, but she raised her head and looked at Du Fei and Zhang Zicheng. "Although I couldn't kill you, this woman has been bitten by one of the Five Poisons Heavenly Venerates. She's bound to die. Making you sad and angry is the least I can do for Ah Lang."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingzi's head drooped, and she became still.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, wake up! You can't be hurt!"
Zhang Zicheng had personally witnessed Qingzi use her venomous insects to kill everyone, including Zheng Erniu and Xiao Wu.
So, seeing Zheng Erniu's wife bitten by the snake now, his heart sank to the bottom.
He had ultimately failed to fulfill his promise to Zheng Erniu.
"Brother Cheng, you don't need to feel guilty towards Erniu. I know you tried," Zheng Erniu's wife said weakly, a dark hue slowly beginning to appear on her face. "I want to ask you to help me raise Nannan."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I swear..."
"Stop talking, Zhang Zicheng. If you want to save her, quickly move aside. If the poison spreads to her heart any longer, even the Great Luo Immortals couldn't save her."
Du Fei interrupted Zhang Zicheng.
Zhang Zicheng looked at Du Fei in astonishment. "You, you, you mean you can save her?"
Du Fei had no time to bicker with him and pushed him aside.
Then, Du Fei took out his golden needles at lightning speed. He first used them to protect Zheng Erniu's wife's heart meridian, preventing the poison from reaching her heart.
Du Fei placed his hand on Zheng Erniu's wife's wrist and circulated the Myriad Manifestations Technique within him, slowly channeling his true qi into her body.
He carefully controlled the true qi entering Zheng Erniu's wife's body, like a sheepdog herding sheep, guiding the toxins out of her body through her pricked fingertips.
After a full ten minutes, Du Fei let out a sigh of relief and withdrew his hand.
"Mr. Du, thank you for saving her life. From now on, my life belongs to you."
Seeing the color return to Zheng Erniu's wife's face, Zhang Zicheng immediately smiled.
Du Fei wrote another prescription for Zhang Zicheng, telling him that although most of the toxin had been removed, due to the potency of the snake's venom, she would still need to recuperate properly.
Zhang Zicheng nodded, indicating he understood.
Zheng Erniu's wife and daughter also expressed their gratitude to Du Fei.
Du Fei nodded slightly, leaving the rest of the matter to Zhang Zicheng.
