Chapter 68: Poison

  The bright moon is in the sky, and a silver glow spreads across the heavens, like a thin layer of gauze covering the world, making people who bathe in it feel a sense of gentle tranquility.

  Hu Yun walked unsteadily on the street, and with each step forward, his body felt like it was being crushed by a thousand pounds of boulders, the pain was unbearable, if not for the strong will in his heart, he would have fainted long ago.

  It's already invisible...... Hu Yun gazed blankly ahead, although it was at night, but the city still had lights on all sides, and under the neon lights, it was as bright as day. Under such a colorful night sky, let alone demons, even ordinary people would not lose their way.

  Hu Yunteng let out a desperate sigh, gritting his teeth to endure the pain that had drained all his strength, and stumbled to the locust tree just two meters away. As he approached the locust tree, Hu Yunteng's willpower relaxed, and he could no longer hold on, leaning against the tree trunk and sitting down on the ground, panting heavily.

  “Cough, cough…” Perhaps it was the intense gasping for air, but Hu YunTeng suddenly started coughing violently, his entire body shaking vigorously. He coughed for a while before finally regaining his composure. “Mmm...” Hu YunTeng tilted his head back, seemingly trying to endure something, and slowly, a black thread slid down from the corner of his mouth. However, Hu YunTeng didn’t wipe it away, allowing this strange black thread to leave an unsightly mark on his pale face.

  "Xuan Snake..." Hu Yun Teng muttered to himself, full of hatred. Now that he thought about it carefully, apart from Xuan Snake, there wouldn't be a second person as sinister and venomous. His entire body's spiritual energy was mysteriously bound inside, unable to be unleashed. Internally, his body had already begun to slowly rot, but externally, it remained unaffected. If this situation continued to develop, he feared that in the end, he would become an empty shell for storing spiritual energy.

  It's already dawn, isn't it? Even in the bustling city, there won't be anyone on the streets at this hour. Maybe tomorrow morning, the sanitation workers will find my corpse. Or maybe I won't even make it till tomorrow morning, and Si Ruiwen will come to collect my body himself. There's a poison inside me that he planted, no matter where I run, I won't be able to escape his pursuit. I was too careless, thinking that as long as I'm careful, he won't have the chance to make a move. But that day was just too full of unexpected events, far beyond what I had anticipated. In the chaos, if he were to strike, I definitely wouldn't notice.

  Under the pressure of Xiang Liu, he still sought an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on himself. He was probably planning to swallow his own spiritual power to resist Xiang Liu's attack. Otherwise... Hu Yunpeng thought of Su Qi's figure suppressing Xiang Liu with her water god powers, or else he had enough confidence in that woman. That woman... Hu Yunpeng recalled the scene where the fine rain fell within the boundary on that day. Although her power was weak, there was indeed a creative force in that woman's spiritual power. If it were that woman, she should be able to save him...

  “Cough, cough…” Hu YunTeng suddenly started coughing violently again, his entire lungs burning like a raging fire, making every breath he took accompanied by piercing pain to the bone marrow. “Cough, cough…” Until he coughed up quite a bit of pus and blood, Hu YunTeng’s body slightly improved, and his breathing gradually stabilized. However, the black blood that fell into his hand seemed to be reminding him that the time he had left was limited, and even if he went to find that woman, there might not be any way to save himself. Moreover, his current physical condition did not allow him to make any further movements.

  Hu Yun Teng gazed up at the sky in despair, and the originally bright full moon was suddenly tainted with a faint dark red color. This sudden appearance of red was like spilled red dye, instantly invading the entire full moon. At first, the faint red color became increasingly brighter, until the entire full moon was shrouded in a deep crimson hue.

  Blood Moon!

  Hu Yun Teng suddenly stood up straight, his eyes fixed on the strange round moon hanging in the sky. Under the blood moon, a group of demons danced wildly!

  How is this possible! Hu YunTeng desperately blinked his eyes, but the vision in both of them had already become completely blurry. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recover his normal vision again.

  "Ah——" Hu Yun Teng leaned against the locust tree again, powerless. Perhaps it wasn't a blood moon at all, but his own eyes were congested with blood. It wouldn't be long before he lost his sight altogether. That damned poisonous snake! Now that he had become like this, he could still feel the pain clearly, and yet it seemed to want to torment him even in his final moments of life!

  "Go away!" A blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of Hu Yunfeng, who shouted at the person's shadow, not wanting to be seen in his current disheveled state.

  However, this person did not leave due to Hu Yunteng's scolding. He stood quietly there, sizing up Hu Yunteng. This person isn't... how could he have become like this? Did something unexpected happen during this time?

  "Get out! Did you hear me?!" Hu Yun Teng didn't expect this person to be so persistent. To intimidate the other party, Hu Yun Teng endured the severe pain and stood up straight, showing his anger at this moment.

  "This will only make you more miserable."

  "Who are you?" Hu YunTeng narrowed his eyes, although at this moment he could only see a blurry figure, but Hu YunTeng still subconsciously wanted to get a clear look at him. Now that this body's current situation is something the human tribe can't detect any abnormalities in, being able to say out loud about one's own body's abnormalities means he isn't of the human tribe, could it be the demon tribe? But if it's the demon tribe, why can't I feel the demon tribe's spiritual power fluctuations? Who exactly is he? The divine tribe?

  I am human.

  "Human?" Hu Yunteng murmured, hesitating for a moment before asking uncertainly, "Are you an ability user?"

  "Yes."

  "What are you doing here? Do you want to take advantage of my body? Since you can see the problem, you should know that my body is not something that humans can touch. But if you want to see me in a pitiful state, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, I've been numb from the pain." Hu Yun Tian closed his eyes, leaning against the locust tree with an air of leisure, as if he was just resting under the tree or simply wanted to bask in the moonlight.

  The newcomer shook his head, gazing at Hu Yunfeng who was gesturing quickly with a seemingly leisurely expression. In an instant, a faint golden light enveloped Hu Yunfeng's body, and his shadow became increasingly blurred, his figure also becoming smaller and smaller.

  No! Hu Yunteng suddenly came to his senses, "You are..." Before he could finish speaking, Hu Yunteng lost consciousness.

  The cold wind swept by, and the streets were quiet and deserted. It was as if nothing had happened at all.

  "Strange, where did he go?" Si Ruiwen looked around and was certain that he hadn't missed anything unusual before reluctantly turning to leave. Had he suddenly run away again? He shouldn't have gotten far!
