179: Chapter 177: Encountering the Strange Poison Again 179: Chapter 177: Encountering the Strange Poison Again “Alright, they’re all gone now, stop looking.” Liu Shanshan waved a hand in front of Tangyu’s face and spoke with what seemed to be a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Tangyu withdrew his gaze, but his expression momentarily grew serious—he was positive someone intended to harm Huangfu Jing.
Despite Huangfu Jing’s noble status and the numerous bodyguards around her, Tangyu still had a dangerous intuition.
If he didn’t take action, Huangfu Jing might be in big trouble.
Heroes seeking the affection of beauties are a stature that many men are eager to achieve, and of course, Tangyu was no exception.
He didn’t like to meddle, but if it involved a beauty, that was a different story.
“Let’s go, I’m starving to death; let’s eat something first.” Seeing Tangyu still hesitant, Liu Shanshan took his hand and headed for the exit.
Tangyu was still somewhat reluctant but let Liu Shanshan pull him to the hall, which was bustling with activity; the group of frenzied fans hadn’t dispersed yet.
“Oh, there’s a free buffet here, haha, perfect, no need to go out to eat.
It seems they’ve prepared this buffet especially for the fans, not bad, not bad.
I’ll just be a fan of Huangfu Jing for now,” Liu Shanshan said with a hint of surprise on her face.
Tangyu glanced around and indeed saw hotel staff serving a buffet, and a man who looked like the hall manager was instructing everyone to dine in an orderly manner.
He roughly estimated that there were as many as one or two hundred fans gathered here.
“Shanshan, you go ahead and eat here,” Tangyu said.
Upon hearing that Tangyu was leaving, Liu Shanshan gave him a look, naturally guessing that Tangyu might be going to find Huangfu Jing.
Although it was not objectionable for a man to like beautiful women, at this moment, Liu Shanshan felt an indescribable displeasure.
“Oh, then you go, don’t mind me,” Liu Shanshan nodded and said.
Tangyu swiftly left the hall and made his way to the accommodation sector.
Huangfu Jing certainly stayed in the presidential suite.
The Shangri-La’s presidential suites were located on the top as well as the eighth and ninth floors, so Tangyu could only begin his search slowly.
When he reached the top floor, just as he stepped out of the elevator, Tangyu’s ears pricked up at a noise.
Tangyu’s eyebrows raised; these assassins really moved quickly, already beginning their attack.
His eyes swept the area, and he quickly noticed more than a dozen security guards lying on the floor in a corridor, completely breaking down the defense line.
Tangyu scanned the guards; they were all knocked out with one hit.
Although these guards might not be as tough as some private bodyguards, they were carefully selected by the Shangri-La Hotel.
They were surely no pushovers, and yet they were all swiftly incapacitated by the attackers, who must have acted within a very short time span, proving the assassins’ formidable skills.
Tangyu’s gaze promptly landed on a room from which intense fighting sounds were emanating; he knew that was where Huangfu Jing was staying.
It seemed her personal bodyguards were skilled, managing to hold off the assassins.
Without hesitation, Tangyu kicked open the door and charged in.
Upon entering, he found a large living room with a nearly hundred-square-meter area where a fierce battle was underway.
Two assassins in security uniforms were fighting a cool and handsome middle-aged man.
“Hmm,” Tangyu observed the fight with slight amazement.
The man was highly skilled, holding his own against two fearsome assassins and even gaining the upper hand.
His punches were like the wind, his vigor like Rushing Thunder.
His kicks were like waterfalls, his dominion like rolling boulders.
Each punch and kick created howling winds, indicating the immense power behind them.
Some of the solid wood furniture and equipment in the living room had been destroyed, leaving the room in complete disarray.
The battle between the three of them only escalated.
The cool and handsome man aimed to take down the two assassins, and in turn, their icy expressions remained unwavering, as though they were Dead Soldiers without a hint of human emotion.
They launched lethal moves relentlessly.
Every strike was lethal, and although they weren’t gaining an advantage, the two assassins didn’t easily give up.
“This doesn’t seem like the martial arts style of our Hua Country; it looks like these two are not from our Hua Country,” Tangyu pondered silently, his gaze shifting to another part of the living room.
There, Huangfu Jing stood in front of a room door, watching the battle with a cold and detached expression.
Her face showed no sign of panic, as if such situations were quite common for her.
Her eyes now turned to meet Tangyu’s.
The three men embroiled in battle also noticed the uninvited guest, but they didn’t pay him any heed.
“Hmm, she’s injured,” Tangyu noticed, his gaze falling on Huangfu Jing’s right arm, seeing her left hand pressed against it.
Her face was not cold, but rather pale.
Although nothing was apparent on the surface, Tangyu still sensed that something was seriously wrong with Huangfu Jing, “No, she’s been poisoned.” He was suddenly alarmed, and he felt the poison was extremely dangerous; any further delay and even he might not be able to save her.
Without a moment’s delay, Tangyu moved towards Huangfu Jing.
His action, however, caused the cool and handsome man to snort and turn away from the two assassins to intercept Tangyu.
Huangfu Jing’s gaze also shifted, focusing intently on Tangyu.
Realizing the misunderstanding, Tangyu immediately said, “Don’t get it wrong, I’m not with them, I came to help Ms.
Huangfu Jing.
She’s poisoned, and it’s a very dangerous one.
Without treatment, not even an Immortal could save her.”
At Tangyu’s shout, the cool and handsome man hesitated for a moment, but that brief hesitation was seized by the two assassins, and one charged at the man.
Although he reacted, it was slightly late, only managing to block with his arm and taking a blow from one of the assassins.
Thud, thud, thud!!!
The cool and handsome man continuously retreated several steps, his body heavily hitting the wall before he stopped, his entire right arm completely numb.
Upon inspection, it had turned purple and black.
The handsome man’s face also went through a series of changes, anger flashing in his eyes, “Despicable, to actually use poison, detestable.”
This poison was extremely terrifying, quickly invading his entire body, making him feel totally powerless.
The pain was like thousands of worms gnawing at his heart, penetrating every cell.
This poison was too overbearing.
The muscles on the handsome man’s face involuntarily twitched as he tried to muster the strength to resist, only to find he could barely stand steady.
“Qing brother.” Huangfu Jing also cried out in alarm, but she immediately felt so sick that she nearly vomited blood..
“Hmph.” The two assassins, seeing their success, also revealed a cold smile, no longer paying attention to the handsome man as they swept towards Huangfu Jing.
“Hmm, such a fearsome poison, such ruthless methods.” Tangyu’s gaze sharpened, seeing the two assassins lunging in their direction, and immediately his expression turned cold.
Striking after launching, he dashed out like an arrow, running Pure Yang Qi, and slapped his palms towards the two men’s bodies.
Tangyu’s speed was indeed too fast; the two assassins had no chance to react before they found Tangyu upon them.
With Tangyu at close quarters, the assassins’ faces finally changed drastically, but it was already too late.
“Bang!
Bang!”
The solid palms heavily struck the chests of the two assassins, immediately resulting in the sound of breaking ribs, and the two men flew out like sandbags being thrown.
However, the assassins’ strength was indeed no small matter; upon hitting the ground, they immediately rushed to the door and vanished from the room in the blink of an eye.
Tangyu did not pursue, as at this time, the lives of Huangfu Jing and the handsome man were in jeopardy, allowing no further delay.
Tangyu quickly said to Huangfu Jing, “Miss Huangfu Jing, we should have seen each other earlier.
I have no ill-intentions; you both have been poisoned and are in critical condition.
Please trust me, let me take a look, I can help you detoxify.”
Huangfu Jing’s bright eyes looked at Tangyu, and for some reason, she felt a wordless trust emanating from these bright, earnest, and sincere eyes.
She could sense that this young man indeed had no hostility towards her.
“Alright, thank you.” Huangfu Jing nodded her head.
Only then did Tangyu approach her, checking her pulse, and secretly infused a stream of Pure Yang Qi into her meridian.
With just a check, Tangyu’s face also immediately showed a few traces of concern, “It’s not a fatal poison, but it is extremely insidious, such vicious methods.”
Huangfu Jing looked at Tangyu with a surprised expression, just by taking her pulse he could discern her condition, which was somewhat magical.
Although she had heard about the incredible methods of true medical experts in Hua Country, witnessing it firsthand was still quite astonishing.
Of course, she also harbored a lot of curiosity about this young man before her.
Tangyu then went to the handsome man’s side and quickly pressed several key acupoints on his body, sealing some major meridians.
Then he infused another stream of Pure Yang Qi, forcing the poison out from the man.
The poison in the man was very overbearing; it could certainly claim his life within a minute.
For a martial artist like him, if it were an ordinary person, they couldn’t last even twenty seconds.
Such a toxin was overbearing, though not particularly difficult to resolve.
Under the action of Tangyu’s Pure Yang Qi, the toxins quickly converged, and then Tangyu struck the handsome man’s back with a forceful palm.
The man vomited a mouthful of black blood and suddenly felt much more relaxed and comfortable.
“You’re mostly fine now, just take care of the remaining toxins slowly,” Tangyu said.
Witnessing this scene, the amazement in Huangfu Jing’s heart intensified.
This method of detoxification was so much like the actions of a martial arts master in TV dramas.
Although she knew of many things deeper within Hua Country, understood that many things people think don’t exist and are only seen in TV dramas actually do exist in reality.
However, such things are too secretive and are aimed at an extremely small group of people, that’s why they remain unknown.
It could be said to be one of Hua Country’s deepest secrets.
Nevertheless, this scene still left her quite astonished.
The handsome man’s eyes also flickered with a complex expression as he looked at Tangyu and wiped off the blood from his lips, “Thank you for saving my life.”
“We can forsake such talk for now, as Miss Huangfu Jing’s condition is still not optimistic,” Tangyu said, and then he approached her again.
The handsome man also came over, concerned, and asked, “Miss, how are you feeling?”
Huangfu Jing replied, “I don’t feel very well, but there shouldn’t be anything serious.
You go handle the situation here first, make sure it doesn’t spread.”
“Alright.” The handsome man nodded and said to Tangyu, “Benefactor, I trouble you to take care of our miss.”
