Chapter 105: The Eight Needles of the Mysterious Vein
“Handsome, come here. I’m so beautiful—I’ll let you do whatever you want.”
The female Gu master’s voice continued to ring out, while the centipede on the ground crawled onto Lin Feng without him noticing.
Just as she thought her bewitching art was about to succeed, the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth suddenly tilted upward. A powerful surge of true energy burst from his lower abdomen, scattering every sound wave around him.
“What? You weren’t fooled?”
The female Gu master was utterly stunned. Even the Gu master wielding the snake staff beside her could not help but tremble.
Lin Feng glanced disdainfully at the centipede on his body. He swiftly seized its head and squeezed hard. Its body burst apart instantly, spilling a stream of black liquid.
“You killed my Ten-Thousand-Poison Centipede! I’ll have your life!”
The female Gu master flew into a rage. That centipede had been her carefully nurtured Gu companion for more than a decade.
Her eyes blazing with fury, she charged madly at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng wore an expression of contempt as he dodged her attacks with uncanny footwork, leaving her utterly unable to touch him. In front of him, her punches and kicks were no more than flashy tricks.
No matter how she attacked, Lin Feng easily restrained her.
Within seconds, he had twisted both her arms together. With a soft snort, he said, “With skills like yours, you’ll need at least a few more decades of cultivation.”
“You…”
“Don’t get cocky, boy. Try my Spirit Serpent Gu!”
At that moment, the snake-staff Gu master suddenly unleashed his full power. Clutching his snake staff, he sent a swirl of dust and sand billowing beneath his feet as he rapidly charged toward Lin Feng.
In an instant, Lin Feng found himself facing two opponents. They attacked from front and rear, their techniques swift and fierce.
Yet Lin Feng did not yield in the slightest. On the contrary, he quickly suppressed both of them with his own moves.
Whoosh!
As the snake-staff Gu master dodged to one side, he suddenly twisted the staff. A black snake shot from within it and lunged toward Lin Feng, aiming to bite him.
Lin Feng glanced back. Flames faintly flickered across his palm. With a powerful sweep of his hand, he sent the fire crashing into the black snake, burning it to death and knocking it to the ground.
“Such a cheap trick.”
When Lin Feng turned back, he saw the snake-staff Gu master still preparing his Gu technique, clearly intending to launch a sneak attack. The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth curled into a smile, and his body suddenly transformed into a streak of wind, appearing before the man in an instant.
Before the snake-staff Gu master could react, Lin Feng hooked his arm around the staff from behind and wrenched it away. He then twisted the staff, sending another black snake flying straight toward its master.
“What? No!”
The snake-staff Gu master had no chance to react. The venomous snake bit him in the neck. By the time he flung it away, blood had already seeped from the wound, and the Gu poison had entered his system.
“Big brother!”
Seeing that something was wrong, the female Gu master hurried over and supported him.
“How are you? Where’s the antidote?”
“I… I didn’t bring the antidote.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the snake-staff Gu master’s entire body began to turn black. He collapsed helplessly to the ground, black blood spilling from his mouth. Moments later, he died.
“Big brother… Big brother…”
The female Gu master stared in shock. She had never imagined that her own elder brother would die beneath the fangs of his own Gu serpent.
Lin Feng smiled calmly and looked at her.
“Your elder brother is dead, and your second brother has been captured by me. Are you still planning to resist?”
“I advise you to behave and confess everything you know. I may spare your life.”
“Dream on. Even if I die, I’ll never tell you anything.” The female Gu master glared fiercely at Lin Feng.
“Everyone, pick up the pace and keep up!”
At that moment, Fang Huihui arrived with a group of subordinates. When she saw one dead Gu poison master and one injured female Gu master lying on the ground, an incredulous expression appeared on her face.
Lin Feng had actually defeated the two remaining Gu poison masters by himself?
“Surround her!”
Once she recovered from her astonishment, Fang Huihui immediately issued the order. All her subordinates rushed forward and surrounded the female Gu master.
She came to Lin Feng and asked anxiously, “Mr. Lin, are you all right?”
“I’m fine. One of the two Gu poison masters is dead, and the other is injured. Neither of them is capable of resisting anymore. You can take them into custody.”
“Thank you. These Gu poison masters are the most difficult enemies we’ve ever encountered. Once I return, I’ll certainly report your achievement to my superiors,” Fang Huihui said frankly.
“None of that matters. I’m not interested in achievements.”
After speaking indifferently, Lin Feng looked toward the female Gu master.
“What interests me is the true purpose of these Gu poison masters.”
He then walked over to her personally, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at her.
“Your fate is already clear. If you still refuse to confess, you’ll suffer once you’re taken back.”
“I’ll give you one last chance to speak honestly. Who is behind you, and what are you trying to accomplish?”
“Heh. You want me to confess? Don’t even think about it. If you have the courage, kill me right now.” The female Gu master looked at Lin Feng with disdain.
“Kill you? That would be letting you off far too easily.”
Lin Feng chuckled. He suddenly pressed his index and middle fingers together and tapped several major acupoints across her body in rapid succession.
In an instant, the female Gu master felt an unbearable itch spread through her entire body. Unable to restrain herself, she burst into hysterical laughter.
“You—what did you do to me? Hahaha! It itches! My whole body itches! Hahaha!”
“You’ve spent half your life raising Gu insects, but I doubt you know that, apart from Gu poison, there are even more vicious things in this world.”
Lin Feng smiled lightly and continued explaining.
“You’ve been struck by my Eight Mysterious Vein Needles. This technique will make your entire body itch without end. The louder you laugh, the worse the symptoms will become, until you laugh yourself to death.”
“What? You bastard! If you have the guts, give me a quick death! Hahaha! It itches so badly! Hurry and release my acupoints! I can’t take it anymore! Hahaha!”
Tears streamed from the female Gu master’s eyes as she laughed, yet she still refused to yield or confess anything.
Lin Feng rose disdainfully and ignored her completely. Instead, he walked over to Fang Huihui and began chatting with her.
Fang Huihui watched in astonishment and asked doubtfully, “Mr. Lin, will this really work? What if she just keeps laughing and refuses to confess?”
“Don’t worry. She won’t last two minutes. Anyone struck by my needle technique will confess everything within at most ninety seconds,” Lin Feng said with absolute confidence.
Fang Huihui still looked incredulous. Could this needle technique truly be so powerful?
She turned back toward the female Gu master and saw that the woman was already laughing until she could barely breathe. Even her breathing had become labored.
Yet despite that, her laughter continued without pause. She was on the verge of choking from it and laughing herself to death.
“I’ll confess! I’ll tell you everything! Please release my acupoints! Hahaha, I’m really going to die! Hahaha!”
At last, the female Gu master failed to hold out for even seventy seconds. Unable to endure any longer, she began begging Lin Feng for mercy.
