Chapter 821: Exterminating Gu

...

Although Qin Fang had already seen some things in rather fantastical terms, it still wasn't to the extent of being so absurd. If even resurrection by corpse possession could succeed, wouldn't there be many old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years?

But apparently, such beings don't exist...

Even those martial artists, whose Inner Strength had reached the terrifying levels of 7 and 8, could only live for at most one hundred years.

Qin Fang had never seen a Level 9 Grandmaster, but he presumed they were not much different; a person's lifespan has its limits and cannot just extend indefinitely to immortality.

"Resurrection by corpse possession... I really don't believe that!"

The Black Witch Doctor Mulun seemed to have gone mad, showing significant mental issues, thus the credibility of his words was relatively limited.

However, Qin Fang was not in a hurry, as the Gu poison in his body had not been fully neutralized. At this moment, he actually had some leisure time to indulge in small talk with Black Witch Doctor Mulun.

"You don't believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Mulun was momentarily stunned, his face and eyes revealing considerable dissatisfaction. However, he did not immediately turn hostile; instead, his expression changed as if contemplating something.

"It's true, I believe. You said every Black Witch Doctor has a Heart Gu, but I've been poisoned by your Gu, and you still have a Four-winged Golden Gu in your hand. Isn't it said that each Black Witch Doctor can only domesticate one or two Gu Insects? How could there be something even more powerful..."

Qin Fang wore a serene smile on his face. Although Mulun was vicious, his mind wasn't particularly sharp. Qin Fang surmised that these so-called theories of his were mostly instilled by someone else or were just his own imaginations, having no connection to reality.

"Who said Black Witch Doctors can only domesticate one or two Gu Insects? I have raised many..."

Mulun, who originally seemed to be immersed in thought, suddenly burst into a rage upon Qin Fang's words, showing great agitation, as if he wished he could tear Qin Fang limb from limb.

"Could it be because of this that I always fail?"

While Qin Fang was still puzzled about what had touched Mulun's sore spot, Mulun hung his head and began to mutter softly, his face showing traces of confusion and hesitation.

His voice was low, but Qin Fang's hearing was extremely sharp, capturing every word clearly. His own face couldn't help but reveal a touch of bemusement.

The Miaojiang Gu Art is an extremely bizarre secret technique with a long heritage, rumored to have originated from Chiyou of the Jiuli Tribe, who was defeated in ancient times.

Yet Qin Fang had very little understanding of such secret techniques. Had it not been for aiding Old Master Wu to detoxify last time, he wouldn't believe that Gu Techniques had been transmitted among people.

Now that he himself had been poisoned with Gu, and having clearly seen the ferocious Four-winged Golden Gu active on Mulun's fingertips, he truly could not believe it any more.

The previous statement was merely a random fabrication by Qin Fang, who, noticing Mulun's mental instability, attempted to deceive the Heart Gu out of him.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."

As Qin Fang was surprised, Mulun once again snapped, glaring at Qin Fang with a sinister gaze. His eyes turned a creepy green and seemed quite terrifying.

At the same time, Qin Fang clearly noticed an intense red light emanating from Mulun, nearly engulfing him entirely.

Without a doubt, Mulun's killing intent towards Qin Fang intensified at that moment, resolutely decided on murdering him...

"Unexpectedly, you are even stronger than I estimated, managing to hold on for so long and not dying..." After a fit of rage, Mulun's mental state seemed to calm down significantly, his mind cleared up more, and he spoke very smoothly at this time.

"With only this insignificant Gu poison, you can't do anything to me..."

Qin Fang's facial expression remained unchanged, speaking indifferently and even contemptuously.

This Gu poison would be extremely lethal to ordinary people, the one Qin Fang was infected with being even more poisonous than the Bamboo Splinter Gu that Old Master Wu had suffered from.

But Qin Fang had just been poisoned and had immediately taken a Detoxification Pill, thus the toxicity had been greatly reduced and he was close to completely eliminating it.

"Then I really want to see how you can be dealt with? My little darling, make your move..."

Mulun's face sinister, and his eyes gleaming with a strange green light, he affectionately called out, speaking to the Four-winged Golden Gu with a tone that made people involuntarily get goosebumps.

Swoosh~~

Then, the Four-winged Golden Gu instantly flew from his fingertips, turning into an almost imperceptible faint shadow and disappearing from Qin Fang's sight.

Naturally, it didn't truly disappear; it's just that the speed at which the Four-winged Golden Gu flew had already exceeded the limit of what Qin Fang's eyes could capture.

Qin Fang could distinctly sense the presence of the Four-winged Golden Gu lurking nearby, ready to strike a lethal blow at any moment.

The Four-winged Golden Gu was a Gu insect meticulously cultivated by Mulun. It had devoured the vital energy of numerous brave warriors and slaughtered many of its own kind to emerge victorious, becoming the most formidable one...

Should it absorb the vital energy of a martial artist as powerful and filled with True Qi as Qin Fang, it might actually have the potential to break through its current limit and evolve into the elusive and formless Six-winged Golden Gu.

And that was precisely Mulun's intention, to lie in wait and strike when Qin Fang was engaged in fierce battle with the wild boar, when his vital energy was at its peak.

Qin Fang was fully alert, his entire body tensed, with every cell mobilized... constantly on guard for the imminent threat of the Four-winged Golden Gu.

He had yet to fully neutralize the Gu poison in his body, and now he had to face an even more formidable attack from the Four-winged Golden Gu.

His internal True Qi was gathered to its limit, with his profound Inner Qi throbbing inside him, and several shimmering Silver Needles had appeared between his palms.

The Four-winged Golden Gu was extremely elusive, and it was difficult to target with swords or Military Spikes, making the Silver Needles, used for acupuncture, much more effective.

Buzz~~

At that moment, Qin Fang suddenly heard an extremely faint buzzing sound by his ear, like that of an insect flying past, a sound difficult for most to catch, but not for Qin Fang's ears.

There should be a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, but given the season, despite the tolerable temperature, they were relatively scarce. At least, Qin Fang hadn't encountered many during his time in the mountains.

Everything had been very calm before, but at this very moment, that slight sound arose, and it was hard for Qin Fang not to be alert... Without a doubt, the hidden Four-winged Golden Gu had appeared.

However, Qin Fang didn't immediately take action. Instead, he sensed a little one inside him stirring, issuing him a command.

Immediately, he felt a warm current swiftly flow from his heart, heading straight towards the infected left calf with the speed of lightning, an unstoppable force.

"Yi..."

Across from him, Mulun was also slightly startled. He had just experienced a sudden heart palpitation, which seemed abnormal, but before he could discern what was happening, his heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and a sudden sharp pain exploded in his chest.

Spurt~~

At that moment, Mulun spat out a mouthful of blood, with an odd mix of red and green, which looked particularly eerie.

Almost at the same time, seemingly ignoring Mulun's reaction, Qin Fang's wrist trembled slightly, and several Silver Needles immediately turned into streaks of silver light, shooting out at incredible speed, surprisingly aimed at the temple on his own head.

This was akin to suicide!

The Silver Needles shot out by Qin Fang contained his True Qi, making their destructive power extraordinarily formidable, capable of breaking through bricks and stones.

The temple is one of the body's vital points and also a fatal one. If one were struck there, it would be extremely deadly, let alone with Silver Needles filled with powerful True Qi. Once penetrated, death was almost certain.

If someone else had made such an attack on Qin Fang, it could be understood, but the puzzling fact was that Qin Fang was now targeting himself.

But was Qin Fang the kind of person whose brains were scrambled?

If anyone thought so, they would be the actual fool!

Ding~~

Just as the Silver Needles were about to pierce Qin Fang's temple, a very faint collision sound could be heard, similar to metal clashing.

Spurt~~

Mulun, who had just spat out blood and was still disoriented, suffered a severe blow once again, and his breath surged out violently, making him look significantly weaker.

"You... you actually..."

And Mulun's eyes were filled with disbelief, his hand pointing at Qin Fang while his mouth trembled, as if he had seen a ghost.

"I said, a little Gu poison can't harm me..."

Qin Fang's face remained calm, paying no mind to Mulun's anger and resentment. He glanced down and saw the Four-winged Golden Gu, pierced by his Silver Needle, and despite falling to the ground still fluttering its wings...

"I thought this little thing was quite powerful, but it seems that it is nothing special after all!"

Qin Fang toyed with the Four-winged Golden Gu. This little thing, now a prisoner, was still viciously trying to bite him, making multiple attempts to fly at Qin Fang, but its feeble efforts were no match for a human...

Besides, Qin Fang was not so foolish as to let the Four-winged Golden Gu have its way, especially when the chance to eradicate it was not always available. (To be continued.
