This scene where only Qingfeng stood while the others all fell down to the ground looked particularly horrible, and anyone knowing nothing about the situation would have thought it was Qingfeng that did something and made everyone collapse. Greed was a sin, and everyone would pay for their own greed. Admittedly Higher Heaven Pills were very rare, but there could not have been so many elixirs without any tricks hidden in them, just like how there are no free things just falling out from the sky.
”Qingfeng, why is there nothing wrong with you?” Tianhao Luo stared at Qingfeng Li and asked in surprise. All the people here, including Niching Luo fell over, while only Qingfeng Li was still alright. Tianhao Luo got very confused as he was the one who laughed at Qingfeng Li just now.
”I remember it was you calling me a fool. Now I'll send it back to you, you fool.” Qingfeng Li sneered.
Tianhao Luo's face changed and darkened when he was called a fool in public by Qingfeng. Tianhao got angry and intended to scold Qingfeng, but he changed his mind and was too scared to talk at the thought that he was debilitated and Qingfeng Li was the only one with the strength who probably could kill him.
”Wolf King, what's all this about?” Niching Luo asked, with a hint of panic appearing on her enchanting face.
Qingfeng Li smiled slightly, and said, ”There's something wrong with the Higher Heaven Pill. Grandmaster Water Moon had coated it with a trick. Oh, it's impropriate to call it a trick, it should be the Strength-melting Herb, a kind of medicinal herb.”
Strength-melting Herb? Niching Luo's face changed when she heard the name of the herb. As the young lady of Luo Family, it was understandable for her to know about this kind of herb.
The Strength-melting Herb, just as its name implied, was a kind of herb that could consume up strength. This herb was very rare, and unexpectedly it showed up here. But this was explainable when it came to that this was the tomb of the Elixir King.
The Strength-melting Herb did not really melt strength, it just temporarily sealed strength and debilitated people. All of the Higher Heaven Pills here were coated with the juice of Strength-melting Herb. The more Higher Heaven Pills people took, the faster they fell over, and the more time they would need to recover. As for Strength-melting Herbs, a lot of martial warriors knew about it since it was their bane.
”It's just the Strength-melting Herb so it's fine. Just wait a moment and the effect of the herb will go away, then we'll be able to recover our strength.” Some people said in an optimistic tone.
There could always be both optimistic and pessimistic people. Looking over, there were people, like Cold Blood, Hell King, Baidao Jiang and Yun Tang, who looked pessimistic with desperation in their eyes.
Indeed, the Strength-melting Herb just melted strength temporarily, and their strength could recover after a while. Now that they were all out of strength, however, Qingfeng Li was the only one who could move, and he would not let them go since they were his enemies.
”If I had known then, I would not have grabbed the Higher Heaven Pills. What a fool am I.” At this moment, Cold Blood's face was gloomy. He felt so regretful that wished he could slap himself. Just imagine that the young master of the Crimson Blood Sect, who was also the top master on the Higher Heaven ranking list, even called himself a fool from how stupid he felt he was.
What Cold Blood and the others had done was just like the sayings Going for wool and coming home shorn , and A person lifts a rock only to drop it on his own toes . Cold Blood originally intended to break through by taking the advantage of the Higher Heaven Pill and then use the breakthrough to kill Qingfeng Li, but now that he lost his strength, he was like a lamb to the slaughter. He had no alternative but to be killed by Qingfeng Li at will.
Qingfeng Li stood where he was, watching the people around teasingly, with smiles in his eyes. He was now the Wolf King, and these people ahead were lambs for the slaughter. He could kill whoever he wanted.
”Cold Blood, Hell King, Baidao Jiang, Yun Tang, you're all my enemies. You tell me, who shall I kill first?” Qingfeng Li smiled slightly, but there was cold murderous intent in the smile, which made everyone have a shiver.
