“This is the tavern your second uncle mentioned, Dong Jun's?”
“The decoration is pretty good.”
Stepping into the tavern, Wen Nan Tian slowly surveyed the place and nodded in approval. Although it couldn’t compare to the splendor of his Lingnan Drunk Moon Tower, it was well-designed and unique.
It’s just that a rat had entered the tavern, disrupting the peace.
“Get out!”
Wen Nan Tian glanced towards a spot, his eyes narrowing.
Kui Zheng, the assassin from the Yan family lurking in the shadows, saw that his cover was blown. He glared, raised his sword from the darkness, and suddenly attacked Wen Nan Tian.
“Die!”
Kui Zheng's face was fierce, his sword overflowing with murderous intent.
Qi surged on the long sword, the blade’s light shot out like a ribbon, swift and domineering. It was about to stab Wen Nan Tian when he raised his eyes, snorted coldly.
“Pu!”
Kui Zheng, who had been brimming with killing intent, suddenly felt a thunderous roar in his ears. Unable to suppress it, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his face turning pale.
“You… I…”
Kui Zheng looked at Wen Nan Tian in terror. With just a cold snort, his attack was completely nullified, and he was instantly severely injured. Where did this expert come from?
“Attacking from the shadows? You’re not worthy of using a sword.”
Wen Nan Tian stared at him coldly, his gaze like that of a man looking at a dead man.
“Who… who are you?”
Kui Zheng struggled to get up, but discovered that his body was paralyzed. He couldn’t move, and even his Qi couldn't flow. This was clearly the work of a formidable expert. He knew he had bitten off more than he could chew.
“You were hiding here to kill someone in my nephew’s tavern.”
Wen Hu Jiu's face darkened, he grabbed Kui Zheng by the neck and lifted him up: “Where’s the owner of this tavern? I’ll give you three breaths to think it over.”
Kui Zheng struggled for a moment, but couldn’t break free. He gave up.
“The boss? That brat called Bai Dong Jun?”
“Forget it, I’ll just use poison.” Wen Hu Jiu knew he wasn’t good at interrogation, so he simply shot a drop of poison into Kui Zheng’s throat.
“I…”
With his throat choked, Kui Zheng flapped like a wild chicken whose throat was being squeezed, its fate sealed. He struggled desperately.
Wen Nan Tian found a clean spot to sit, smiled and introduced him: “Don’t struggle, my second uncle's poison is unparalleled in the world, known as the Old Poisoner. Let’s just say that, you’re just a minor Golden Core Realm warrior, even if a Free and Easy Heaven Realm expert comes, they’ll have to accept their fate.”
“Go, what Old Poisoner, whoever dares to call me that, I’ll poison him!”
Wen Hu Jiu rolled his eyes. This wasn’t something he could say! If word gets out, he’ll definitely have another annoying nickname!
Old Poisoner? Is he really that old?
“Haha, Second Uncle, aren’t you saying that you’re skilled in using poison?”
Wen Nan Tian chuckled awkwardly, then looked at Kui Zheng: “Tell me, what are you doing here?”
“And why did you attack us?”
“Tell us and you can suffer less.”
Hearing Wen Nan Tian's words, Kui Zheng stared at him and Wen Hu Jiu, and snorted coldly: “Do you know who I am? I’m from the Yan family, the first family in the Southwest! If you dare to touch me, just wait for the whole Southwest to hunt you down!”
Wen Nan Tian said expressionlessly: “Really? I’m so scared.”
He was the future head of the Lingnan Wen family. His second uncle was a top-ranked expert. What’s the first family of the Southwest? What’s the Yan family? As long as they wanted, the uncle and nephew could massacre the entire Southwest.
He’ll handle the massacre, his second uncle Wen Hu Jiu will take care of the “ga ga.”
Besides, Wen Nan Tian was worried about finding a pretext to attack them.
Now, someone was offering him a gift on a silver platter!
“Ssss~!”
Suddenly, Kui Zheng gasped, his flushed face turning purple, countless blue veins emerged from his face, and blood surged under the skin.
“You, what did you do to me?”
“What did I do?”
Wen Nan Tian knew he was asking Wen Hu Jiu, so he explained for him: “Good question, the drop of poison you swallowed a moment ago contains the toxin of the Thousand Flower Hundred Insect Pill. Once this poison enters your body, it will immediately take root and give birth, attach itself to you, and slowly devour your flesh and organs.”
“It has one advantage, it won’t kill you immediately, instead, it’ll allow you to slowly experience the feeling of having your organs and flesh eaten away bit by bit. The process is extremely itchy, the feeling of your flesh and organs being chewed on, from within your body. Even if you feel the itch, you won’t be able to scratch it.”
“In the past, those masters who thought they had strong will, most of them couldn't stand it for more than a quarter of an hour before committing suicide. Hopefully you can hold on a bit longer.”
Wen Nan Tian said it lightly, but Kui Zheng's scalp went numb, he was shocked and terrified.
Kui Zheng shuddered as he imagined that scene, he was covered in cold sweat. A wave of itchiness swept through his body, he knew it was the poison insects inside his body, beginning to devour his organs and flesh.
He couldn’t hold on any longer, and begged for mercy: “Let me go, let me go, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you.”
“Come, answer my previous question first, who are you, where did the tavern owner go, and why did you attack me without a word?”
Wen Nan Tian propped his chin with one hand, curious and asked.
“I’m called Kui Zheng, I was sent by the head of the Yan family to kill the tavern owner.” Kui Zheng’s throat was choked by Wen Hu Jiu, making it difficult to speak, but they could both understand him.
“Kill Dong Jun? ”
Wen Hu Jiu’s gloomy face instantly turned murderous.
“Second Uncle, be careful, don’t kill him directly.” Wen Nan Tian reminded him, worried that Wen Hu Jiu would get angry and snap Kui Zheng's neck.
Wen Hu Jiu narrowed his eyes, temporarily suppressing his anger.
Although Wen Hu Jiu’s relationship with Wen Nan Tian was closer due to Wen Nan Tian, he also loved his nephew Bai Dong Jun deeply. Hearing that Kui Zheng was ordered to kill his nephew, he didn’t go crazy and kill him. He already showed restraint.
“Continue.”
“I only arrived in Caisang City today, we’ve never met, why would I attack you?”
Wen Nan Tian continued to ask.
“Because you discovered me, I was afraid you would expose my whereabouts, ruin my plan, so I wanted to … kill… kill you to silence you.”
“Oh, I see.”
Wen Nan Tian looked like he finally understood, then looked at Wen Hu Jiu: “Alright, I’ve finished asking. Second Uncle, seal his acupoints, let him slowly enjoy the Thousand Flower Hundred Insect Pill devouring his flesh and organs.”
“You~!”
Kui Zheng’s eyes widened, he looked at Wen Nan Tian with a face full of resentment, wanting to say how he was breaking his promise.
But he saw Wen Nan Tian scoff, pointed at his temple, and said with contempt: “You want my life, and you expect me to let you go? What kind of dream are you having?”
