Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1559: You have the Soul Severing Flower, I have the Skeleton Grass.

Li Ning’s use of underhanded tactics not only failed to cause any trouble for Fang Bai but instead incited the wrath of the crowd, leaving him in a panic."It’s rude not to reciprocate! Why don’t you taste the flavor of my ’Skeleton Grass’!"

Fang Bai made a barely noticeable movement with his hands and then said this with a smile, looking towards Li Ning.

Li Ning was an expert in poison, possessing much more knowledge about many poisonous flowers and herbs in the Immortal Realm than ordinary martial artists. When he heard the words "Skeleton Grass," his body involuntarily shuddered, dread rising in his eyes as he swiftly stepped back five feet.

Li Ning’s Soul Severing Flower was poisonous, but compared to Skeleton Grass, it was nothing.

If one were to rank the poisonous flowers and herbs in the world, the Soul Severing Flower would not even make it into the top ten, whereas the Skeleton Grass could easily be in the top three.

Poison smoke and powder refined from Skeleton Grass are equally invisible and colorless, and even tasteless, able to penetrate a martial artist’s body unnoticed.

Once a martial artist is tainted with the poison of Skeleton Grass, it’s almost incurable, and within just a few breaths, their flesh will dissolve and melt away, leaving only bare bones behind.

Thus, Skeleton Grass is a poison that many martial artists in the world fear.

"You can’t escape it!"

Fang Bai watched Li Ning retreat ten feet, as if avoiding the plague, and said with a hint of a smile, "Now, do you feel a bit itchy on your left arm’s skin? Do you want to scratch it?"

Li Ning did not speak, but the corners of his eyes twitched rapidly.

Fang Bai chuckled and added, "If you’re itchy, then scratch it!"

Li Ning, driven by an uncanny impulse, raised his right hand and lightly scratched his left arm.

The result was unexpected; the itch didn’t stop, but instead, he scratched off a piece of flesh with blood.

"Ah..."

Seeing the bloody flesh he scratched off from his left arm, Li Ning’s pupils contracted with terror in his eyes, a shrill scream akin to a pig being slaughtered erupted from his mouth.

This scratch marked only the beginning of Li Ning’s nightmare.

Following this, no matter how Li Ning endured, even though he gritted hard enough to shatter his teeth, he still couldn’t withstand the unbearable itch on his left arm and started to scratch madly.

With each scratch, a piece of flesh fell off, accompanied by a scream that sent chills down the spine.

In just a few breaths, amid the shocked and stupefied gazes of martial artists around the square, Li Ning’s entire left arm was reduced to a blood-stained bone.

"This..."

Lu Hongyun frowned slightly at Li Ning’s miserable state.

Even though Li Ning was the first to use underhanded tactics and thus deserved his fate, the Groom-Recruiting Event was supposed to be a joyous occasion. This scene somewhat destroyed the celebratory atmosphere, so Lu Hongyun turned his attention to Fang Bai and asked, "Fang Bai, can this poison... be neutralized?"

Generally speaking, the more potent the poison in the world, the harder it is to neutralize. Lu Hongyun inquired Fang Bai only out of a glimmer of hope; otherwise, Li Ning would die a terrible death on the spot today.

Fortunately, Li Ning was just a Loose Cultivator, and even if he fell, it wouldn’t bring trouble to Flower Pavilion.

Fang Bai nodded, approached Li Ning, and wielding the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, he made a swift chop downward.

Crimson light dazzled like lightning, and amid the splattering blood, when everyone looked at Li Ning again, his entire left arm had been severed at the shoulder.

Though losing the left arm would greatly hamper his path in cultivation, Li Ning let out a sigh of relief.

If Fang Bai hadn’t severed his left arm, the unspeakable itch would soon spread throughout his body with unimaginable consequences.

Li Ning, thinking of himself turning into a skeleton, couldn’t help but sweat like rain, trembling with fear.

"For Elder Lu’s sake, I’ll spare your life! Get lost!"o mess with!"

Everyone only realized that Fang Bai was actually the disciple of the Nascent Soul expert sitting next to the Flower Pavilion’s Tower Master.

Having a Nascent Soul expert as his teacher offering guidance, it’s no wonder Fang Bai’s prowess was so formidable.

Zhang Yang’s heart skipped a beat, growing a bit more apprehensive toward Fang Bai.
