Chapter 181 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (50)

Their positions reversed in an instant. It was now Bai Tang who had Qi Jiayan restrained, with a dagger pressed against his neck.

Qi Jiayan’s eyes darkened. “The effects of the drug have clearly not subsided, and it’s impossible to force it out.”

Bai Tang smiled knowingly. “But it doesn’t affect me.”

She glanced at the Blood Devil Cult disciples. “Hey, your Venerable Lord has the highest martial arts skills and internal energy, right? I almost forgot to mention something. There was indeed a drug to close off your internal energy in the wine, but there’s also an antidote. Now, you should all be able to break through the effects of the drug.”

With that, Bai Tang called out again, her voice carrying far and wide. “Jiesheng!”

Empowered by her immense internal energy, Bai Tang’s voice echoed across the area. Simultaneously, she targeted the Blood Devil Cult disciples holding others hostage and shook them loose.

The reaction time of the masters was incredibly fast. Some swiftly injured the disciples holding them captive, while others regained control of their own actions. The situation on the scene changed rapidly, and the previous stalemate between the two sides dissipated.

Qi Jiayan had a question. “When did Young Lady Bai learn of my identity?”

Bai Tang didn’t hide anything. “That time when I lifted your mask and saw your face. From then on, every time you appeared, I knew the mysterious cult leader of the Blood Devil Cult was Qi Jiayan, the wandering healer of the martial world.”

Qi Jiayan never expected that his identity would be known from the start. It made sense of everything Bai Tang had said.

Weng Quan sealed Qi Jiayan’s acupuncture points and took him from Bai Tang.

“I know your identity too.”

Qi Jiayan sneered. So, they knew everything.

“Now that you all know—What a big snake!”

“Everyone, be careful!”

A giant snake covered in scales swung its tail, sweeping over a dozen Blood Devil Cult disciples. Its incredibly hard tail struck them, causing blood to gush out and internal injuries.

The Blood Devil Cult members immediately retaliated but realized that the snake seemed to only target them.

Bai Tang smiled and introduced, “Oh, I almost forgot to introduce my partner—Jiesheng. He’s a bit stronger, so I hope you can accommodate him.”

At her words, the corners of everyone’s mouths twitched. This giant snake belonged to Bai Tang? What else did she have up her sleeve?

She knew the identity of the Blood Devil Cult’s Venerable Lord, knew the names of their Left and Right Protectors, managed to slip an antidote into the wine, and now summoned such a giant snake.

The masters, whose internal energy had been restored, quickly joined the battle, and Bai Tang did the same. It was the first time many of them had seen Bai Tang in action.

The legendary daughter of the head of the Wind Guardian Hall, beautiful and captivating, was thought to only possess basic martial arts skills.

But today, the depth of her internal energy was unmatched by anyone.

Her involvement swiftly brought an end to the battle. While Bai Tang reaped the harvest, Jiesheng blocked their escape route. With Bai Tang, Jiesheng, and the other masters, the battle ended swiftly.

Nan Ling thanked her, “If it weren’t for Female Hero Bai today, our fate would have been uncertain.”

Bai Tang once again disabled Qi Jiayan’s martial arts and internal energy, grabbing his shoulder. “The Blood Devil Cult in the Snow Mountain is no longer a threat. I leave the rest to Alliance Leader Nan. We’ll convene another meeting next time. It’s most convenient to manipulate food and drink in such gatherings.”

“Where are you taking Qi Jiayan?”

“He’s a devil, and he should be killed to prevent future troubles!”

“Yes, Young Lady Bai, you should hand him over to us. He has harmed so many people; he must not have a good ending!”

…

With each person’s statement, the clamor grew louder, causing Bai Tang’s ears to ache. She grabbed Qi Jiayan and, using Lightness Skill, landed on the head of the giant snake. “I caught Qi Jiayan, disabled his martial arts, and now he’s my prisoner. Whether to hand him over is up to me, and my answer is no. I’m taking Qi Jiayan with me. As for the rest, you figure it out yourselves. Elder bother, I’ll go ahead.”

“Jiesheng, let’s go.”

The giant snake carried Bai Tang and Qi Jiayan swiftly away.
