A Clash of Gods - Chapter 105

Chapter 105 Each Showing the Special Prowess
Seeing that Nao suddenly fell on the floor, Yang Ning was surprised and thought this demon girl just put on a show. However, when he saw that she seemed to struggle, trying to get up but couldn’t, he wondered if this girl was poisoned, too.

He didn’t know how Nao poisoned Tang Nuo or how Nao was poisoned.

Nao struggled for a while and could hardly get up, so she shouted at the door, “Big Devil, Little Devil, you…come here now…”

Tang Nuo said, “You don’t need to call them. They can’t come in.”

“You…you poisoned us?” Nao was furious. “How did you put the poison?”

Tang Nuo replied indifferently, “You intentionally brought people here and told me to detoxify them in order to distract me. Then you took actions against Bai Ling and made me at a loss because I am concerned about it. Even if I don’t touch the powder on Bai Ling’s body, as soon as I absorb it into my mouth, I can be poisoned.”

Nao asked, “So what if you know that now? Didn’t you fall into my trap?”

Yang Ning finally realized that Nao captured and brought them here in order to distract Tang Nuo and find an opportunity to take actions. On second thought, if Nao came here alone, Tang Nuo would be careful all the time as she was alert to Nao, and Nao wouldn’t succeed so easily.

Now it appeared that Nao’s final purpose was to get the book All Kinds of Herbs from Tang Nuo. All Kinds of Herbs was a book about herbs, and since Nao tried every means to get it, it must be a precious book.

Tang Nuo stated, “You can’t hurt others, but you have to be alert to anybody. You are much more cunning than you were a few years ago. It is not easy for Qiu Qianyi to teach you to be like this.”

Nao laughed. “Elder Li is also nice and taught you to put the poison. Didn’t he dislike the poison most and say that poison was shameless? It turns out that the old man is double-faced and also taught you in secret to use the poison.”

Tang Nuo moved a bit but was powerless. It was difficult for her to move one step. She said indifferently, “I have advised you to leave earlier, but you didn’t listen to me.” She paused for a while and then added slowly, “I have given you the antidote, but you didn’t want it. You can’t blame others.”

Nao asked in surprise, “The antidote? When did you give me the antidote?”

Tang Nuo replied, “The two have taken the antidote, so they are safe and sound.”

Nao was stunned. She was smart and soon understood. Then she looked at the water tank in the corner and asked in astonishment, “Do you mean…the water in the tank…”

Yang Ning also realized that Tang Nuo had given him and Zhao Yuan a cup of water for each not just to quench their thirst, but there was the antidote in the water.

Nao thought herself smart and didn’t drink the water, but she didn’t know that she would be poisoned because she didn’t drink it.

But since Yang Ning had drunk the water, why was he still so weak? He pondered for a while and then understood that he didn’t get close to Nao’s powder, but the powder was flying in the air, and he had absorbed it more or less. However, he absorbed very little, so he wasn’t like Tang Nuo who couldn’t move a bit.

At this thought, Yang Ning immediately raised his hand to cover his nose, trying not to let the poisonous powder enter his mouth.

Tang Nuo stated, “The smells of two kinds of the herbs outside are mixed and would make people powerless. The two servants of yours are poisoned much more seriously than you.”

Nao finally realized that she was poisoned not by Tang Nuo, but since she came here, she was attacked by the poisonous air from the beginning. She rolled her eyes and looked pitiful. “Sister, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have made you angry. You…detoxify me now. I am not your opponent. After I am detoxified, I will take them to leave here at once and won’t come to annoy you anymore.”

Yang Ning thought, “You asked for it. You looked arrogant, but now you are poisoned, and even if you call her grandma, it might be useless, let alone calling her sister.”

Tang Nuo expressed expressionlessly, “It’s pointless to beg me now. I can’t move, so I am unable to detoxify you, unless you detoxify me first.”

“But I can’t move now, either.” Nao looked pitiful. “Sister, when can you make me recover from this poison?”

Tang Nuo explained, “You didn’t drink the water, so the poison would be more and more powerful. If you can’t be detoxified, you will become like a stone from head to toe in the end.”

Fear finally showed in Nao’s bright eyes.

At this time, Yang Ning felt somebody walk past behind him. He turned around and saw that Zhao Yuan had got up. Nobody knew when he had pulled the silver needle out of his throat. He moved slowly but walked to Nao step by step.

Nao naturally sensed that. Seeing Zhao Yuan approaching her, she was stunned and then looked cold, shouting, “You…don’t come over. If you come near me, I will kill you.”

Zhao Yuan ignored her. Although he couldn’t speak, a sneer came from his throat.

Noticing that Zhao Yuan got close to Nao, Tang Nuo said immediately, “You are still being detoxified and can’t move. Sit down now.”

Zhao Yuan ignored her unexpectedly and still approached Nao. Looking at his fierce expression, Nao was scared and threatened him. “If you get closer to me, I… I will kill you. Stop now…”

Yang Ning thought Zhao Yuan distinguished her location by the voice. If she didn’t say anything, it would be better. After she shouted, Zhao Yuan was clearer about her location.

Both Zhao Yuan and Nao were Yang Ning’s enemies, and Yang Ning didn’t care about their life and death, but Tang Nuo looked kind-hearted. If she was in trouble, he would help her. As he covered his nose now, he didn’t feel feebler, but he didn’t regain much strength.

Zhao Yuan walked lightly, and Yang Ning knew that this guy had absorbed some poisonous powder, and he must not have much strength.

After walking to Nao, Zhao Yuan squatted down and didn’t expect to touch something next to his foot. He picked it up, and it was the Cold Blade.

Seeing Zhao Yuan with the Cold Blade in his hand with a ferocious expression, Nao was frightened and asked while sobbing, “What are you going to do? I… I am going to take actions.”

Yang Ning thought if she could take actions, she would have taken actions earlier and wouldn’t need to wait.

Tang Nuo furrowed her beautiful brows and ordered coldly, “It’s not allowed to kill anybody here. Put down the blade.”

Zhao Yuan laughed weirdly and raised his hand to point at his eye sockets with blood congealed and then at his mouth. What he meant was obvious. Nao had injured his eyes and tongue, so he wouldn’t easily let her go. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Nao’s headcloth. Later, he took off her headcloth and threw it away before grabbing her hair.

Nao shouted angrily, “Let go of me. I won’t let you go. I…I will cut you into pieces.”

Zhao Yuan laughed and raised his hand. The Cold Blade was shining and he was about to stab her. Tang Nuo shouted in shock, “Stop. You can’t kill her.” She knew that it was useless to say that, so she continued, “Don’t you want your eyes to recover? Don’t you want to speak? I can cure you. If you kill her, you will be unable to see anything forever.”

Zhao Yuan raised the Cold Blade in the air and paused for a while.

Seeing that, Nao knew that Zhao Yuan was tempted, so she stated in a hurry, “Right. Although you are blind, she can cure your eyes. Her master has superb medical skills and taught her a lot. As long as…you let me go, she can cure your eyes. By the way… as for your tongue, I have the antidote and can help you…help you recover…”

She had cold sweat on her forehead, and her eyes were full of fear.

Zhao Yuan seemed to hesitate, but suddenly he looked cold and waved the blade without hesitation to stab Nao. Nao screamed and Tang Nuo shouted automatically. As Nao was going to be killed under Zhao Yuan’s blade, something flew over and hit his arm. The Cold Blade left his hand and flew away.

Zhao Yuan grunted and didn’t hesitate to reach out his hands to pinch Nao’s neck.

He looked ferocious like a beast and roared in a low voice, determined to take Nao’s life. Nao struggled hard. Her skin was fair, and she was even ghastly pale now.

“Save her quickly…” Tang Nuo looked anxious.

Yang Ning had stood up and walked over shakily. He didn’t help Nao instantly but picked up the Cold Blade from the floor first. He turned around and kicked Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan was kicked to fall on the floor, and Nao coughed, but he didn’t give up. He got up again and still wanted to pinch Nao. Yang Ning was behind him and didn’t hesitate to stab his spine with the Cold Blade.

Yang Ning aimed at the vital part, and Zhao Yuan fell on the floor and twitched several times after being stabbed. Then he couldn’t move.

Seeing that Yang Ning had killed Zhao Yuan, Tang Nuo sighed with relief. Nao still coughed continuously. After a moment, she looked at Zhao Yuan’s dead body and said resentfully, “I should have killed him earlier. I will cut him into pieces.”

Suddenly she heard a cold voice. “Do you want to cut me into pieces, too?”

Nao was stunned, and she saw that Yang Ning stood next to her with the Cold Blade in his hand, looking at her with his piercing eyes. She trembled involuntarily and forced a smile. “Thank you…Thank you for saving me. You are my savior, so I certainly wouldn’t hurt you.”

Yang Ning squatted next to Nao and sneered. “Who will believe your words? Do you know why I killed him?”

Nao responded, “You are a good person and see somebody suffer from injustice, so…so you help the people in need. I wasn’t nice to you. I apologize to you.”

“It turns out that you know how to apologize.” Yang Ning snorted. “I am clear about your tricks. Now you say something nice to me, but after you recover, you will probably hurt me again.”

Nao said like swearing, “No, I won’t. From now on, I won’t hurt you. Just rest assured.”

Yang Ning shook his head. “We need to wipe out the enemies, and I know this principle. I killed him not to save you. You are a vicious demon girl and don’t deserve my help. Zhao Yuan is my enemy, so I wanted to kill him in person. He was like you, and you are also my enemy. I won’t let others kill you, but I would do it personally.” He raised the Cold Blade and tried to stab Nao.
