Chapter 1387 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"Sister Zhen'er, what kind of poison is in that medicine bottle? It's so potent!" Shen Yue asked curiously, regaining her senses.
A-Zhuang said in a nonchalant tone: "Chili water."
Shen Yue was surprised and couldn't help but turn around to look at the masked man who was still lying on the ground, covering his eyes and wailing in pain.
Is pepper spray actually more potent than poison?
"That's for sure," Ah-Zhuang thought. "After being sprayed into the eyes, very few people can withstand the physiological reaction."
Poisoning is merely a way to render the enemy incapable of resistance.
After a short while, Azhen finally located Xu Shan and the others. They were all pale-faced, clearly having been tricked. The masked man would never show mercy; since he was able to successfully ambush them, it meant he had made preparations.
The fact that Xu Shan and his group are still able to hold on suggests there are other reasons.
Just then, Shen Miao's voice rang out: "We can't know what kind of medicine we were given right now, and we can't figure it out in a short time. The effects of the medicine we just took are about to wear off."
So that's how it is. Shen Miao was carrying a miraculous medicine that temporarily alleviated their crisis.
However, the medicine wasn't right for them, and they wouldn't last long. There might even be serious side effects. They couldn't even take care of themselves, so naturally they couldn't find her and Shen Yue's room.
Actually, this result wasn't unexpected. Those mysterious organizations that wanted the Heavenly Questionnaire varied in strength and methods, and few people in the martial arts world could avoid suffering losses when they encountered them.
Shen Miao was the first to give up. Her martial arts skills were slightly inferior to Yan Rugo and Xu Shan. Yi Xiaolan had no martial arts skills at all, so she was not greatly affected, but she couldn't help either.
"Miaomiao, what other medicines do you have with you? Take out any that are effective and let's deal with the immediate crisis first," Yan Rugo said.
Shen Miao's face turned pale: "There is another medicine that can temporarily boost internal energy, but I don't know if it will work. However, it has serious side effects. Combined with the medicine we've been given, we don't know what the consequences will be after using it."
The outcome was completely unpredictable, so she hesitated to take it out.
Seeing that everyone was about to give up, Yan Rugo said, "Take it out."
"Take it out. Don't think too much about it now," Xu Shan chimed in. "Living is the most important thing."
"Shouldn't we ask them what their purpose is first?" Yi Xiaolan suddenly spoke up. "If these people are here to steal the Heavenly Sword, then let's hand it over. We can't let Miaomiao and the others get involved."
"Are you here to steal the Heaven-Asking Blade?" Yi Xiaolan asked the masked men.
There was a moment of silence as all the masked men's eyes fell on Yi Xiaolan.
Xu Shan was also stunned for a moment, but did not stop Yi Xiaolan.
The Heaven-Asking Blade does indeed hold secrets, but not the Heavenly Question. If the masked man's appearance today was aimed at the Heaven-Asking Blade, as a friend, he really shouldn't have implicated Yan Rugo and Shen Miao.
Even the ancestors of the Xu family would not allow him to be a burden to his friends and a person who is disloyal.
If someone in the underworld doesn't value loyalty, what kind of underworld are they?
If Yan Rugo and Shen Miao lose their lives today because of the Heavenly Blade, he will be a sinner.
"Are you all really here for the Heaven-Asking Blade?" Xu Shan asked.
The masked men were taken aback when Xu Shan brought this up.
“Brother Xu, you…” Yan Rugo did not expect that at this critical moment, Xu Shan would actually intend to give away the Heaven-Asking Blade.
Shen Miao said, "Given the methods of this mysterious organization, even if you hand over the Heaven-Asking Blade, Brother Xu, they might not let us go."
"Now that they've offended the Yan family, are they letting us go just so they can wait for us to cause trouble?"
"If it really is because of the Heavenly Blade, I don't want to implicate you," Xu Shan said. He knew these masked men were no good, but their situation was already very dire.
“Father.” At this moment, A-Zhuang spoke up.
Now that she's here, it's impossible for the Heavenly Blade to be given away, at least not yet.
Xu Shan was startled and saw Azhen standing outside the encirclement with Shen Yue. He subconsciously shouted, "Take Yue'er and leave quickly!"
However, the masked men quickly surrounded Azhen and his companion.
"Xu Shan, hand over the Heaven-Asking Blade." The masked man finally spoke.
Xu Shan asked, "If I hand it over, will you let everyone here go?"
The masked man said, "Of course."
Xu Shan didn't believe it; the other party had agreed too easily.
It's no wonder that an organization that engages in such petty theft can't be trusted.
"Father, why waste words with them? Just fight them." Azhen didn't want to delay any longer. The drugs these people were taking were about to wear off, and there would probably be some aftereffects. If she had to handle everything, wouldn't she expose a lot of things?
Before anyone could react, Azhen used her lightness skill to rush into the encirclement, brought Shen Yue to Shen Miao's side, and then, in a flash, took out several bottles from her embroidered pocket. Using the advantage of her lightness skill, she threw them all over the masked men's faces before they could react.
Instantly, the air was filled with the pungent smell of chili water, so strong that it was hard to even open one's eyes.
Standing next to Shen Miao, Shen Yue hurriedly distributed something to Xu Shan and the others.
【Host, are you here to be funny?】 997 couldn’t help but scream when it saw Xu Shan and the others wearing masks.
Azhen: [This chili water is too concentrated; even if they are skilled in martial arts, they can't withstand it.]
[It's more than just high concentration.] 997 chimed in, "This was grown in the space itself, and it's the spiciest variety. With further purification, it's so spicy it'll kill you, no exaggeration."
Even with masks on, Xu Shan and the others could still feel the spiciness.
But none of them thought about the pepper spray. Shen Yue was watching Azhen spray the pepper spray intently, not saying much, her eyes sparkling as if she had gained some insight.
"I don't know what kind of poison this is," Shen Miao said. She had never seen it before. As someone who was involved in both medicine and poison, she never imagined it could be pepper spray.
Yi Xiaolan asked in a low voice, "How did Zhen'er learn this method of using poison?"
Seeing masked men writhing on the ground in pain, some even breaking free of their masks and turning red in the face as if they had been roasted, she couldn't help but take two steps back.
"This poison is too potent," she said. "Is Zhen'er's master a poison master? Is it really safe to have a master like that?"
The remaining masked men tried to dodge, but for some reason, they couldn't escape and were still splashed in the eyes with chili water by Azhen.
After settling everyone in, Azhen approached Xu Shan and asked with concern, "Father, are you alright?"
“We’re all alright, Zhen’er, you came just in time.” Xu Shan exclaimed. He had been focused on his daughter the whole time and hadn’t really noticed Yi Xiaolan’s mutterings. Now he was filled with pride for his daughter’s abilities.
The scene was chaotic, and A-Zhu found the antidote to detoxify them.
With everyone busy dealing with the aftermath, Yi Xiaolan didn't have a chance to speak again.
Azhen actually heard it, but she was too lazy to pay attention to her.
While the adults were busy, Shen Yue slipped up to Azhen and looked at her differently. (End of Chapter)
