Chapter 315: Set Up
"You... You cannot kill me!" Sun Wuji, upon seeing Qing Hua so easily dead at the hands of Yun Hao, was frightened dumb as Yun Hao approached him, causing him to continuously retreat backwards.
"Hand over the antidote for the Heart-devouring Gu, and I will spare you!" Yun Hao continued walking towards Sun Wuji, stretching out his hand.
"Make sure you keep your word, here!" Sun Wuji seemingly believed Yun Hao's words and pulled out a green object from his chest, throwing it towards Yun Hao with a large hand gesture!
"Ah!" As Yun Hao reached out to catch the thrown object, he felt a sharp pain in his palm, forcing him to look down, discovering a dark green little snake had bitten his palm, drinking the blood flowing from the wound.
"Hahaha, Yun Hao, what does it matter if you are strong in battle? Having been struck by my Lifebound Gu, you are surely doomed!" Sun Wuji laughed arrogantly, his laugh even a bit mad, nowhere near the image of someone fearing death just moments ago!
"Lifebound Gu? Heh, trash!" As Yun Hao's voice fell, he forcefully clenched his palm, hearing the crackling sound of bones being crushed from the green little snake gripped in his hand!
Casually throwing the already dead snake into the blazing fire, Yun Hao shook his head slightly, feeling a sudden heaviness, before striding before Sun Wuji and slapping his nape, knocking him unconscious!
It was just that Yun Hao discovered something odd – after he knocked this old scoundrel out, blood unexpectedly overflowed from the corner of his mouth continuously, and his whole body twitched non-stop, inexplicably!
"Sun Wuji won't live much longer; his Lifebound Gu was killed by you, and his lifespan is at its end!" Tang Rou softly said as she watched Yun Hao passing by.
"Could you help put out the fire? Thank you!" Although Yun Hao felt a bit dizzy from Tang Rou's words about Lifebound Gu being dead and Sun Wuji not living long, he didn't show it, instead glancing at the still-burning fire around them, speaking to Tang Rou.
Yun Hao tossed the unconscious Sun Wuji into the trunk, preparing to return to Nanjiang City, but at that moment, just as he closed the car door, it opened again, with Tang Rou unexpectedly sitting in the passenger seat!
"What are you doing?"
"You are poisoned; I am coming with you. In case you need help, I can assist!" Tang Rou steadfastly said as she observed Yun Hao's increasingly pale face, gradually devoid of any color.
Watching Yun Hao and Tang Rou depart, White Tiger sighed helplessly, then hastily called the relevant departments to put out the fire, remaining there waiting!
When they returned to the villa, Yun Hao's face was already ghastly pale, devoid of any trace of blood, coupled with it being nighttime, if a stranger saw him, they would definitely be scared to death by Yun Hao; is this a person? Clearly it's a ghost!
"Why do you look like this?" Chu Yan, who had already taken Cold Face's concoction and awakened, knowing from Cold Face that she had been poisoned, but wasn't told she had only seven days to live, believing she was already fine. Seeing Yun Hao return, pale-faced, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"I'm fine. Where is Cold Face?" Yun Hao forced a smile, but it was truly more unappealing than crying!
"He said for you to go to Tank's villa next door, he's waiting for you there!" Chu Yan relayed Cold Face's words.
"Then I'll head over!" Yun Hao nodded, then told Tang Rou, "Stay and accompany Xiao Yan!"
Yun Hao directly drove to Tank's villa, as Tang Rou stayed with Chu Yan in the living room watching TV, accompanied by Su Qiao!
Although Tang Rou was watching TV, she remained attentive to the surroundings, clearly aware that Yun Hao had her stay to protect Chu Yan, in case of anything unexpected!
"Sister Rou, can I ask, what's wrong with Yun Hao? Why does he look so bad? Is he hurt again?" Chu Yan, still worried about Yun Hao, inquired of Tang Rou who returned with him, seeing her as knowing something!
"He's poisoned by Sun Wuji's Lifebound Gu. If not for his strong will, he might have fainted halfway…" Tang Rou recounted to Chu Yan and Su Qiao how Yun Hao, for Chu Yan, killed Qing Hua and captured Sun Wuji!
"I want to see Yun Hao!" After hearing Tang Rou's story, Chu Yan immediately stood up, worriedly wanting to go to Yun Hao!
"Sister Yan, you should sit here. He has a reason for not letting you go there. With Cold Face, nothing will happen. Cold Face is known as the Medical Saint!" Tang Rou stopped Chu Yan, using her own comfort as reassurance for Chu Yan!
At Yun Hao's side, after dragging Sun Wuji to Tank's villa, he immediately collapsed onto the floor!
"Lifebound Gu, such nonsense!" Cold Face was also startled by Yun Hao's sudden fall, quickly checking him. With his expertise, he immediately saw what was wrong with Yun Hao, dissatisfiedly murmuring, though showing no panic or worry!
Evidently, this Lifebound Gu poison seemed no difficult matter to Cold Face!
When Yun Hao awoke, it was already night, he shook his slightly aching head, glanced at his surroundings, realizing he was in Tank's villa. Upon heading to the basement, he saw Cold Face busily working!
"How about it? Did that old scoundrel Sun Wuji hand over the antidote?" Entering the basement, Yun Hao's first words inquired about the antidote, showing no concern for his own condition!
"I've interrogated, there is no antidote!"
"I'll interrogate again, I don't believe there's no antidote!" Yun Hao spoke incredulously.
"He is already dead, and I have asked my friends, the Heart-devouring Gu indeed has no antidote!" Cold Face calmly replied.
"Damn it, no antidote? Are you kidding? What about Xiao Yan? I won't let Xiao Yan die, isn't this just a lousy Gu poison? How can there be no antidote?" Yun Hao yelled frustratedly. Without an antidote, doesn't Chu Yan have only seven days to live?
If Chu Yan were to perish in seven days, Yun Hao genuinely couldn't imagine how he would react, so regardless, he must save Chu Yan!
