Chapter 2049 - 2046: Both Antidote and Poison

After entering this space, everyone was separated, but they quickly rushed into action.

They searched everywhere for an exit and for the powerful force that had spawned the pillar of light.

Everyone was heading towards the area with the strongest Soul Power in this space, which was where Xu Weidong and Zhao Ying’er were located.

At this moment, four more people were rushing toward Xu Wendong’s location.

Among these four people, there were both men and women, and Xu Wendong was quite familiar with one of them, Song Qing, who had been caught to dig the mountain earlier.

"Huh? It’s you?"

At this moment, Song Qing looked at Xu Wendong with confusion, and then noticed Yun Changshan, who was already dead on the ground.

There was a cold gleam in his eyes.

Song Qing was also from the Da Yin Dynasty, so he naturally recognized the deceased Yun Changshan.

Moreover, he had long known of Xu Wendong’s prowess. Back when they dealt with Leng Shan, he had easily defeated him, and seeing him kill now, although surprising, was still acceptable to him.

"Oh?"

Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow; so it was him.

Song Qing had been very sensible at the time, obediently coming to dig the mountain. But now that the mountain had been excavated, he should be granted his freedom.

Indeed, Song Qing stepped forward, looking at Xu Wendong with a full smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, according to our previous agreement, I helped you dig the mountain, and you would give me the antidote. Now that the task is complete, isn’t it time for the antidote?"

The antidotes Xu Wendong had given them before were short-term; they wouldn’t die immediately after seven days.

Now that the mountain had been excavated, a permanent antidote should be provided.

"Senior Brother, why are you being so polite with this person?"

"He killed our Wind Thunder Pavilion’s people; how can we let him go?"

The person behind Song Qing immediately said.

Especially the woman, who showed a look of disgust, her eyes full of killing intent.

Xu Wendong and Zhao Ying’er did not expect these people to also be from the Wind Thunder Pavilion.

They had just killed Yun Changshan, didn’t that mean...?

Immediately, Zhao Ying’er drew her Spirit Sword, her eyes extremely vigilant.

"Shut up!"

Song Qing shouted furiously, stopping everyone filled with hostility.

"Did Junior Brother Yun die here, and does it necessarily mean this fellow Daoist killed him? Don’t misunderstand!" Song Qing actually began to explain on Xu Wendong’s behalf, which surprised the people behind him.

Xu Wendong’s lips curled up, clearly seeing through Song Qing’s intentions.

Song Qing still had poison in his body, and without the antidote first, he certainly wouldn’t disadvantage Xu Wendong.

"Fellow Daoist, I believe Junior Brother Yun’s death has nothing to do with you. Can you give me the antidote first?"

Song Qing asked somewhat impatiently, as having poison in his body was obviously a bad thing, and his life was in Xu Wendong’s control, an unpleasant feeling.

Zhao Ying’er caught the drift and shook her head, signaling Xu Wendong not to hand over the antidote.

The situation wasn’t in their favor.

But Xu Wendong just laughed, speaking slowly, "Of course."

He tossed out an Elixir Pill, which Song Qing caught steadily.

"This is the antidote. Once you take it, the poison in your body will cease to exist," Xu Wendong said as Song Qing started to have doubts.

He laughed awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist, you wouldn’t trick me again, would you?"

Xu Wendong chuckled, his face full of mocking expression.

"You guess."

"In any case, the antidote is right here, whether you take it or not is up to you."

Song Qing gritted his teeth and swallowed the Elixir.

He had no other choice now but to trust Xu Wendong.

After taking the antidote, he instantly felt a rush of heat, followed by a sudden outpouring of sweat that dripped to the ground, even corroding the earth.

That was the poison he had taken before.

"It’s actually resolved!"

Song Qing said with some surprise, not expecting Xu Wendong to really keep his promise and give him the antidote!

"What are you doing? They have more people, and we killed their Wind Thunder Pavilion disciple. By giving out the antidote, you’re making it easier for them to fight us!"

Zhao Ying’er said helplessly.

Why was Xu Wendong so naive, actually handing the antidote to Song Qing?

At this moment, Song Qing’s eyes were full of joy, and his gaze towards Xu Wendong became more grave.

With a wave of his hand, the three people behind him instantly surrounded Xu Wendong from all directions.

"What is this?"

Xu Wendong asked, feigning surprise, "I’ve already given you the antidote! What more do you want?"

Upon hearing this, the four burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, so naive."

"The country bumpkins from the Heavenly Nether Domain truly are foolish to the extreme."

"Senior Brother Song never intended to let you go. You used poison to threaten him before, making Senior Brother Song obey you. Now that the antidote is in, why let you go?"

The three laughed heartily, their eyes filled with amusement.

And Song Qing also revealed a cold smile.

He walked up to Xu Wendong and said, "Fellow Daoist, you gave me the antidote, and I helped you dig the mountain; it’s a deal settled, so we owe each other nothing."

"But for killing my Junior Brother, I must account for that."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying’er angrily said, "Didn’t you just say you believed it wasn’t us? And now you change your mind?"

"Hahaha, should I call you naive or just plain stupid?"

"In the Netherworld, it’s the survival of the fittest. If you don’t follow the Laws, of course, I won’t be courteous to you. While I appreciate the antidote, killing you is something I must do."

After these words, Song Qing had shown his cards, drawing a Spirit Sword with murderous intent boiling.

Present were four strong Tongyou Realm Eighth Layer individuals!

"It’s over..." Zhao Ying’er’s face was full of bitterness; she hadn’t expected they still fell into the trap.

Just then, Xu Wendong regretfully shook his head.

"I do value my integrity, but I always encounter some untrustworthy people, so I’ve learned from past mistakes. The pill you took earlier, although it neutralized your previous poison, has injected you with another kind."

Xu Wendong sighed with regret, then pointed at Song Qing, continuing, "This time, the poison will erupt in two hours, leaving you only two hours of life left."

After saying this, Xu Wendong drew out a large knife with a mocking smile.

"This means you have only two hours to either kill me and find the antidote from my body or plead for mercy, hoping I’ll forgive you and give you the antidote."

In that instant, Song Qing’s face turned a ghastly shade.

He was entirely numb.

Indeed, Xu Wendong wouldn’t give him an easy way out. What he gave was not an antidote but new poison!

"Bastard, kill them!"

Song Qing roared, instantly rallying the other three to take action!
