“What?! I’m gonna lose my legs?!”

“No!!! I can’t lose my legs!!! No way!!” Wang Mengyu screamed hysterically.

She was clearly in deep shock and filled with fear. She was merely in her twenties and this was a phase where she prioritized her beauty the most. Asking her to cut off one of her legs was way too much to come to terms with. Besides, she was also a Jianghu elite. There was no way that she could improve her cultivation anymore once any of her legs were to be removed.

“Fifth Shimei! You’ve got to calm down! This poison isn’t something to be messed around with! You are going to die if I don’t amputate your leg now!”

Zhou Xiaokun then immediately used his Crimson Fire True Kang at the tip of his finger to slice open Wang Mengyu’s pants. Her legs were immediately exposed. The area where the Crimson Crowned Snake had bitten a while ago had already turned into charcoal black. The skin around the area started to shrivel up like an old tree bark! It was extremely horrifying to witness.

What was even more daunting was that the venom was quickly spreading to the other areas of her leg. Initially, all he needed to do was amputate her lower calf. Due to a small delay, the toxin had spread to her knees. If she delayed any longer, she would have to let Zhou Xiaokun amputate her entire leg! And if she still refused to let him to amputate her leg, the toxin would spread to her internal organs. By then, it would be just within a blink of an eye that she would lose her life.

“No! I would rather die than to let you to amputate my leg! Never!!!”

Wang Mengku kept shaking her head while crying and screaming. It felt like she lost all hope – a scene that was difficult to bear.

“Fifth Shimei! It’s more important that you stay alive! How am I supposed to face the Fifth Elder if something bad happened to you?!” Zhou Xiaokun begged.

“No! I refuse to do it!”

Tears were strewn all over her face. She fell into a state of uncontrollable despair.

“Elder Shixiong! I thought Master Ao is supposed to be an expert at poison?! Hurry over and ask him to help her!”

Zhuo Qunfeng could no longer stand still and remain idle about it.

“I long for his help too! But this is only his first venture into this desert and his first time seeing this kind of snake as well! Do you really think he is some god that can cure all kinds of poison?! I would have never resorted to amputating Fifth Shimei’s leg if he had the antidote!”

“This…”

Zhui Qunfeng immediately went speechless.

It was true that Xingxiu Faction was famous for their use of poison. However, this was his very first time witnessing this kind of poison. Besides, it was extreme venomous! Asking Ding Ding’ao for an antidote seemed like an impossible mission to him.

“I’ve made up my mind… I would rather die than have to amputate my leg! Master Ao! Can you at least come and take a look at the venom in my body? If you could really cure me, I will definitely have my grandpa back at Kunlun Faction to reward you abundantly!”

“I can try… But out of curiousity, what do you mean by an abundant reward?”

Ding Ding’ao was clearly a man that cared about nothing else but himself! He would have never offered to help her without a return.

“My grandpa owns three Spiritual Items! You are free to choose one from it!”

“Spiritual Item?”

Ding Ding’ao could not help but to gulp upon hearing that. Spiritual Items were extremely rare here on Earth. As the young master of Xingxiu Faction, he had only a Two-star Spiritual Item in his possession. Knowing that he would be rewarded with a Spiritual Item, Ding Ding’ao could never turn down Wang Mengyu.

“Alright! I’ll do my best to get the toxin out of your body!” Ding Ding’ao announced confidently.

Ding Ding’ao then immediately walked over to Wang Mengyu. Right before checking Wang Mengyu’s pulse, someone interrupted him.

“You better not touch her!” Chen Xiaobei warned.

“Huh?! I’m trying to save her here! Who do you think you are? Get out from my face!”

Ignoring Chen Xiaobei’s advice, Ding Ding’ao placed his hand on Wang Mengyu’s wrist to begin checking her pulse.

“Idiot! You are going to die soon!”

“Motherf*cker! Are you calling me an idiot?!”

“I don’t need to reply you! Time will prove it to you. Besides, I mention your name specifically. Why are you even overreacting? I guess you probably know I’m talking about then!”

“I…”

Ding Ding’ao was rendered speechless once again.

“Elder Shixiong! Everyone! Please just get this loser out of my face! The toxin is about to spread to my thighs! He’s trying to kill me here…” cried Wang Mengyu.

Everyone immediately turned and glared at Chen Xiaobei. Even Zhuo Qunfeng threw him a death stare in outrage. The Kunlun Faction seemed rather united. No one would ever allow Chen Xiaobei to mess things up if their beloved Shimei was in deep trouble.

“Don’t you guys dare glare at me. If it weren’t for my wife’s kindheartedness, I wouldn’t even be bothered to volunteer myself to help her!”

Chen Xiaobei then immediately stopped talking. Everyone from Kunlun lost the spirit to continue arguing with Chen Xiaobei. Instead, they shifted their attention back to Wang Mengyu.

“You bastard! I’ll remember this forever that you called me an idiot today! I’m gonna deal with you after I clear the toxin out of Lady Wang’s body!”

After checking her pulse, Ding Ding’ao took out bag of silver needles and prepared to perform n acupuncture treatment on Wang Mengyu.

“Master Ao! You’ve finally figured out a solution to cure me?!” said Wang Mengyu excitedly.

“Of course! I have studied the art of poison since I was a kid! I mean I wouldn’t say I’ve seen all kinds of poison in this world but I’m pretty confident I know 80% of it! All I need to do is improvise. I don’t think this will be a problem to me!”

Upon hearing that, Wang Mengyu and everyone else from Kunlun Faction let out a huge sigh of relief. Amongst all the ancient factions, Xingxiu Faction was considered the second best ancient faction that was skilled at the art of poison. They were only second to the Tang Faction!

All Ding Ding’ao needed to do right now was to figure out the type of venom and come up with an antidote to suppress the toxin in her body. It was a good approach, but clearly he had underestimated this snake’s toxin.

Siiii!

At that very moment he wanted to use his right hand to pick up the needle, he found that he could not move his hand and started shivering.

“What… What the hell is going on?”

Not long after, the skin on his hand started to shrivel just like Wang Mengyu’s.

“Master Ao… What is happening to you?! How did you get the venom too?!”

Everyone around him was taken aback. They never would have imagined that the poison master himself would be capable of allowing the venom to get into his system. It was his right hand that was the exact hand used to check Wang Mengyu’s pulse.
