Chapter 612: Detoxify the Taming Five-Poison


    I was hurtall overand didnt have the strength to counter him. I closed my eyes and waited for myst moment toarrive.


    Then, agold light shed.I heard metal nging, justas thoughweapons were hittingeach other. I opened my eyes and was thrilledtoseeSenior Shunext to me. He had used his Holy Mother Scepter to parry thetaming masters Nepalese saber.Senior Shulooked at me andsmiled. Then, hetook the Emei Piercer from his waistand threwitatme.


    My desire to live was awakened. I grabbed the Emei Piercer and used it to support the weight of my body. I triedto get up on my feet.


    Hey,dont you feel ashamed whiledealingwith alittlekid like him?


    Senior Shus opening remarks were always provoking. He held the Holy Mother Scepter horizontallyin front ofhis chest, aiming forthe head of thetaming master.


    Thetaming masterrolled his eyes in worry. Most of thetaming mastersthatcould keepcorpses and ghosts had a fatal weakness: Their closebat skills wereawful!


    These people were good at harmingothers while staying hidden. Today, he had shownup to kill me because he knew that I didnt bring anyweapons with me. He believed that he couldget rid ofme here. However,Senior Shuhad abruptlyshownup, whichmessed up his n.


    Doyou really think youremy opponent?said thetaming mastercoldly. Then, hetook somethingoutofhis pocketand threw itatus.


    I knew it was justasmoke grenade, so I boldly jumped into the thick smoke and screamed, Senior Shu, hurry! After him!


    Unexpectedly,Senior Shudidnt run afterhim. With a pale face, he looked at me in panic. Not good


    Whats wrong? Im all right. I thought that the fog was toxic, but I feltalright.


    If Im not wrong, kid, you are under his tamingtechnique!Senior Shusaid with a sullen face. Gritting his teeth, he lifted me. With the Holy Mother Scepter in his hand, he rushed outside.


    When we came to the gate of the school, I saw the Holy Mother Scepter release a gold hue gas that formed an arrow.Senior Shufollowed the lead of the arrowand ranwithout a careforthe obstacles in front of us, such as the wall or the dark cliff.


    Everywhere we passed, the surroundings turned into a normal mountainous trail.After walking for half an hour, the gas from the Holy Mother Scepter disappeared.Senior Shuexhaled and put me back on the ground.


    Senior Shu, howdidyou find me?


    I knew you were tricked by that man after checking the hotels surveince cameras.As forhow I found you, hahahaSenior Shusniggered disdainfully. Kid, did youdo a badthing in the hotel today?


    I looked at the Emei Piercer in my hand and realized that he had visited my room.I recalledthe used tissues in my roomandblushed.Senior Shupatted my shoulder. Oh, its understandable that young men sometimes want to have fun.If it werent for theessence on the tissue, I wouldnthave beenable to find you.


    On the way back to the hotel, my back felt itchy. I kept scratching it.Senior Shus face grew darker as he walked faster.


    When we got to the hotel room, I felt like hundreds of thousands of ants were marching on my back. I hated that I couldnt just simply use a knife to cut off that piece of skin.The tamingtechnique hadbegunto work on me.


    Senior Shuasked me toy facedown on the bed. He heated a small knife on the me of a lighter. Then, he pricked a holein myback and squeezed some blood into a wine tumbler. How do you feel now?


    Comfortable I answered. Before I could finish, a heart-piercing pain came from my wound. It felt like my entire body was being roasted above a big fire. I tried not to scream, but the flesh of the cut on my back convulsed.


    Its good that you got just theTaming Five-Poison.


    While I was in pain,Senior Shuexhaled in relief. He showed me the wine tumbler. The red blood inside had turned dark. Many bean-sized wormsfloatedin there.After takinga closerlook, I shiveredwhenI recognized those were small scorpions!


    He must have collected your blood while fighting with you. Fortunately, its just aTaming Five-Poison. If it was something stronger, Im not sure I could have saved you,Senior Shusaid sternly.


    I recognized that Idbeen extremely foolish to jumpinto the fog. I said through gritted teeth, Please help medeal with it.


    Senior Shunodded. You will feel alot of painwhile Im helping you. Be patient.


    Then, he took out somethingthat lookedlike a long wallet. When he opened it, I saw rows of silver needles.


    He stabbed all the needles into my back and took them all out after a while. Then, he pouredsaltwateron my back.


    Aaahhh!I couldnt help but scream. My back felt like it didnt belong to me anymore.Senior Shulifted me and punched right at my chest!


    He had controlled his forcewell so thatIwouldn''tfeel much pain. However, my chest felt sostuffythat I had tocurlmy body into a ball.


    Senior Shuturned to my back again and poured another bowl ofsaltwater. I couldnt stand this. I slumpedtothe edge of the bed and vomited.


    Around five minutester, I felt better. Then, I saw that I had vomited all the scorpion eggs!


    All right, go sleep in my room!Senior Shuwaved his hand at me. It seemed theTaming Five-Poisonwas solved. I didnt linger. I wentto his room andsleptright away.


    When I wokeup thenext morning, my back was still hurting. However, my whole body felt light and flexible,justas if I had been reborn.Senior Shutold me that while treating theTaming Five-Poison, he had identally opened up the acupoints in my body, which promoted my blood cirction. Thatwas why Ifelt so refreshed.


    I thought to myselfthatiftaming masters could use this sort of skill to treat peoples sickness, it would be so wonderful. They could have both wealth and fame. Why did they have to walk on the evil path?


    Senior Shusaw that Ihadrecovered.


    He saidwith a sullen face, We have todeal withthattaming mastertonight. Weve spent enough time on him. If wewaste anymore time, wewont be able tosave my life-bound rat.


    What should we do?


    I agreed withSenior Shus fight fast, win fast point of view. However, I didnt know how to lureoutthetaming master.


    Senior Shusneered coldly.If he likes to y with appearancechanging, we willgo alongwith him!If Im right, heshouldstill be lurkingin the dark. I will disguisemyself as youandgodownstairs alone. I think he will do it again.Then, we will trap him!


    I understoodSenior Shus idea. He wanted totake advantageof the fact thatthetaming masterlooked down on me to capture him.


    What can I do to help you? As we didnt have any otherideas, I reluctantly agreed with him. However, subconsciously, I thought that itwouldnt beeasy to trick the other party.


    Senior Shuasked me to stay upstairs and keep watch. As soon as something expected happened, Iwouldshowmy face. If Senior Shufailed and let thetaming masterrun away, I should jump into help him.


    At noon, the sunlight was scorching.Senior Shuand I were sitting in our room, eating watermelon and chatting. Suddenly, someone called me. I walked out and saw it was the hotel owner. He was bringing two big carton boxes that he was having difficulties lifting.


    Seeing mecrane outmy neck from upstairs, the hotel owner looked relieved. He gingerlysaid, Brother, could you pleasee down here and give me a hand?


    All right! I agreed with him. There were many hostels and homestays in this area. Almost all houses in this ce had been renovated to be hostels. However, there werent many peoplethat stayed in them. Icould bethe only young man in this hotel.


    When Iwentdownstairs, I saw the owner climbing the stairs. Ill help you carry that. You cango fetchthe rest of thestuff.


    What do you mean? The hostel owner looked bewildered.


    I was surprised. Then, I returned to my room and pressed myself by the window to watch.Another hostel owner was waitingfor me at the patio!


    I turned andsaidtoSenior Shu, The hotel owner outside is probably a fake one.


    Yeah?Senior Shuwapletinghis face-shifting technique. Hesmirked and said,I want to see who disguises himself better!


    He quickly fiddled with his face and applied some strange potions. Immediately, he wore my face.


    Take this.In a criticalmoment, you can use italongsidetheBigDipper Sirius Spell.Senior Shugave me the Holy Mother Scepter whilegrabbingthe Emei Piercer. Then, he turned and left.


    A momentter, I sawSenior Shuwalkingaway with the taming master whileholdingabox.Senior Shus movements slowly became stiff.It seemedhe was controlledby thetaming master.


    I was worried that I would lose track of them if I stayed here. I hurriedly walked behind them. On the way,Senior Shuacted as if he had figured out something was wrong. He turned and ran. Thetaming mastergrabbed him and took him away. They disappeared from my sight.


    Histrickwas the same asbefore. I thought he wouldgoto that abandoned school. However, that school was an illusion he had made. I couldnt get in there. Feeling helpless, I had to wait at the spot they had disappeared.
