Capítulo 948: Chapter 383: Sudden Upheaval (Part 3)
Blood spilled into the air, splattering onto many people’s faces and bodies.
The crowd was momentarily bewildered, at a loss for what to do.
But then they saw Qi Yang, without a word, attacking anyone he encountered and killing those he met.
The few in front, unclear about the situation, were struck into confusion, dying without knowing why.
When the rest realized what was happening, they immediately erupted in anger:
“Island Master Qi, what are you doing?”
“Why are you slaughtering your comrades?”
“Do you really think we fear you?”
Exclamations rang out, for they were Jianghu people, skilled in martial arts, and would not sit idly by waiting for death.
Though some wanted to retreat, more people instead charged at Qi Yang in counterattack.
In an instant, chaos erupted on the rooftop.
As the Island Master of Chi Yan Island, Qi Yang’s martial arts were, of course, exceptional. Yet now, he seemed to strike without any method, relying solely on his Inner Strength, recklessly attacking. But in mere moments, he had already received numerous injuries from the group besieging him.
Qi Xue Lian watched coldly and furrowed his brows.
Inside the tavern, Su Mo and the others, who had been watching the commotion, also locked their brows in a frown.
Yang Xiaoyun whispered:
“Could this Island Master Qi have long been dead?”
Su Mo nodded slightly.
Blood flowed from Qi Yang’s wounds, not bright red but pitch black.
Sticky and murky, it was clearly not the fresh blood that could flow from a newly dead person.
And Little Situ, present at the scene, furrowed her pretty eyebrows:
“His blood is poisoned…”
Just as she said this, a new change occurred on the opposite rooftop.
Among the crowd still besieging Qi Yang, suddenly, someone turned cruelly against those beside him.
The victims were struck bewilderedly, while the attackers struck to kill.
Qi Xue Lian, seeing this, suddenly shifted his gaze to Ximen Ye’s corpse.
Beside the corpse, at an unknown time, an unkempt old man had appeared.
One hand holding a chicken leg, his face and hands were greasy. The other hand was casually groping Ximen Ye’s corpse.
Moments later, he retrieved a book from the corpse’s chest.
It was the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture.
The old man smiled slightly upon seeing this, took another bite of the chicken leg, and was about to turn and leave.
Qi Xue Lian shouted angrily:
“Leave the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture, or leave your corpse!”
The old man glanced back at Qi Xue Lian and chuckled:
“Youngster, you’re talking to this old man?”
“Nonsense.”
Qi Xue Lian had the sickle in his palm, cautiously watching the old man:
“Was Qi Yang brought down by you?
“And is this chaos on the rooftop your doing?
“Could the poison on Ximen Ye have been the same?”
“Boss Qi has quite the sharp eye.”
The old man smiled slightly: “Among those who have appeared in Nanhai over the past twenty years, you, Qi Xue Lian, are half a hero.
“Today, I don’t wish to harm your life. Let’s part ways wisely.
“Don’t risk your life for something that doesn’t belong to you.
“Moreover, don’t implicate your Xue Lian sect… and make them meet a clean death.”
“…”
With Qi Xue Lian’s temperament, upon hearing this, how could he swallow his anger?
However, this person’s methods were unfathomable.
Qi Yang of Chi Yan Island was already an extraordinary figure, and the work on this rooftop was awe-inspiring.
This old man, hidden behind the scenes, stirred up storms with astonishingly brutal methods, earning respect.
But now, the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture was in his hands.
How could he just give up?
Immediately, he laughed heartily:
“Elder, your methods are beyond the divine, I admire them deeply.
“If it were anything else, I would surely hand it over and dare not compete with you.
“But this Poison Dragon Pill Scripture… cannot be given to you easily.
“I ask that you leave the Pill Scripture, and Qi Xue Lian will respectfully see you off!”
“Alright, alright, alright.”
The old man nodded repeatedly: “Then just fall.”
As those words fell, Qi Xue Lian obediently toppled over.
The old man saw this, shook his head gently, turned around, and glanced at the bloody chaos, suddenly smiled and swung his sleeve.
Something flew out from his sleeve.
In just moments, it scattered over the crowd.
Among the crowd, some immediately fell dead to the ground, but others had clarity gradually return to their eyes.
Looking around in bewilderment and examining the surroundings, they saw the bloodstains everywhere, corpses rolling across the rooftop and the ground, sending chills through their hearts.
Looking back, Qi Xue Lian was also lying on the ground, life and death unknown.
Yet, searching for who made the move left them confused and aimless.
“That old man, before leaving, dispelled the poison he had cast.”
Inside the tavern, Little Situ had originally prepared to take action.
The poison set by the old man was extremely fierce.
If left to spread, the entire Chi Yan Island would likely be destroyed by this poison.
As a Doctor, she naturally could not stand idly by.
But she didn’t expect, after obtaining what he wanted, the old man would dispel the poison as he left.
She was unsure of how she felt about it all.
Just as she locked her brows again, Su Mo’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear:
“This place is not safe for a long stay, return to the ship and wait for me.
“Little Situ, come with me.”
The crowd, in a daze, only felt a gust of wind as Su Mo and Little Situ vanished.
The remaining people turned their eyes to Yang Xiaoyun, who decisively spoke:
“Since Qi Yang was the Island Master of Chi Yan Island, and now that he’s dead, a great disorder is likely to erupt on Chi Yan Island.
“If we delay any further, we might be unable to leave the island for a while.”
The crowd immediately nodded, but Zhen Xiaoxiao was reluctant, missing out on some tasty food.
Yang Xiaoyun glanced at her and smiled wryly:
“Next time we dock, I’ll take you ashore for food and drink, alright?”
“Mmm, mmm!”
Zhen Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up at these words, her little eyes brimming with light.
Without further ado, they rose and headed for the ship.
Meanwhile, in a deserted corner of Chi Yan Island, an unkempt old man tossed a small dinghy into the water, preparing to jump in, but suddenly sighed:
“These days, why are there so many unafraid of death?
“This old man has spared his hand, yet there are still those who insist on seeking death…”
Looking back, he saw a young man standing behind him, with a young lady, blossoming with youth, on his back.
