Chapter 53 The Poisoner, Sun Xiaohong Who Was Paying for His Own Goods [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Ti
Zhuge Gang didn't care what these people thought. He only knew that if he didn't catch up with Shangguan Jin Hong and explain the matter clearly, then this day next year would be his death anniversary!
Therefore, he leaned on his iron crutch and prepared to leave.
Sun Tuozi's eyes were already bloodshot, and he was unwilling to let him leave. He immediately roared "Don't go!" and kicked out with both legs, his body spiraling towards Zhuge Gang.
His hands were like claws; his left fist struck out with earth-shattering force, while his right claw was like a hook, ever-changing, resembling a hawk swooping down on its prey, exuding a powerful and fierce aura.
Zhuge Gang was so angry that he laughed, "What a hunchbacked free-range chicken!" He exerted force in his hand and swung his iron crutch upwards at Sun Tuozi's left hand.
Guo Songyang could see clearly that if the iron crutch landed, Sun Tuozi's entire arm would be broken. Therefore, a short section of his sword, which had already been sheathed, was exposed again.
But Sun Tuozi was no ordinary person either. He also noticed this point. His feet continued to spin like a top, but his arms suddenly pulled back.
If it were someone else, and they pulled back the force of their swinging arm, they would lose their balance due to inertia and fall awkwardly to the ground.
But Sun Tuozi's nickname, "He can carry a mountain on his back and the mountain can't crush him," actually channeled all his strength into his camel hump. The bulge seemed to suddenly gather a thousand pounds of force, like an iron pot cast from refined iron crashing into Zhuge Gang's iron crutch.
He actually wanted to confront Zhuge Gang head-on!
Zhuge Gang's anger intensified, and he struck Sun Tuozi on the back with even greater force.
The store was suddenly filled with the sound of bells ringing!
Zhuge Gang's hands trembled, and his face showed astonishment.
He was known as "sweeping through thousands of troops" and used the heaviest 63-pound Vajra Iron Cudgel. One strike of the cudgel could even shatter mountains and rocks.
But when it hit Sun Tuozi's camel hump, it bounced up, and the force of the impact made his hands go numb!
But Sun Tuozi fared no better. He was thrown out like a golf ball, crashing into the wall. His back straightened instantly, and blood gushed from his mouth as if it were free.
Fortunately, although his injuries were severe, his internal organs were still strong, which protected him from losing his life.
However, he was no longer able to stop Zhuge Gang.
Zhuge Gang didn't linger, and with a limp, he sped away.
Sun Tuozi's face showed hatred.
At this moment, Guo Songyang walked up to him, bowed his head and said, "Shopkeeper, I drank your wine, but I have no money to pay for it. How about this, I'll kill someone for you to settle the debt, how about that?"
Guo Songyang is a warm-hearted person, but he is proud and never bothers to admit it, so he often finds an excuse for himself.
Sun Tuozi hurriedly shouted, "Kill him! Kill him! Zhuge Gang!"
"good!"
Guo Songyang turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Sun Tuozi coughed up blood, his eyes were a little dull, and he forced himself to look at Sun Baifa's position, only to see that Sun Baifa's face was normal and he had already stood up.
Sun Tuozi: ?
Without hesitation, Sun Baifa rushed to Sun Tuozi's side, channeling his inner energy to heal his injuries. He scolded, "What were you trying to prove? You haven't practiced martial arts for twenty years, yet you dared to challenge his Golden Iron Cudgel. If he hadn't been injured by me earlier and his inner energy wasn't insufficient, one strike from that cudgel would have split you in two, sending your butt flying into a tree!"
"Ah..." Sun Tuozi was a little confused, blinking hurriedly, "You weren't poisoned?"
"I was the one who administered the poison. Even if Xiao Hong hadn't given me an antidote, it wouldn't have hurt me. At most, it would have just made me appear dead."
Sun Baifa's words were like a thunderbolt, shattering the filter he had in the eyes of Sun Tuozi and Sun Xiaohong. He kept grumbling about how Sun Tuozi was unreliable and almost caused him to outlive his son.
Sun Tuozi smiled wryly and said, "I thought..."
"What do you think! How many heads does Zhuge Gang have to play tricks in this kind of thing? He's at least eighth on the Weapon Ranking. Is it worth it to trade his life for a dying old man like me, risking offending Shangguan Jin Hong?"
Sun Baifa suppressed Sun Tuozi's injuries, cursing as he quickly picked him up and called to the somewhat dazed Sun Xiaohong:
"Granddaughter, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go."
"Shangguan Jin Hong didn't react immediately because she was angry, but she might realize it later."
Sun Xiaohong nodded vigorously and quickly ran outside.
Sun Tuozi said helplessly, "But that person is Shangguan Jin Hong, where could he possibly run to?"
Sun Baifa was too lazy to talk to Sun Tuozi, and used all his strength on his lightness skill, which allowed him to barely keep up with Sun Xiaohong and arrive at the back gate of Xingyun Manor.
Sun Tuozi suddenly realized what was happening, and then felt a few drops of viscous liquid dripping onto his face. He immediately looked up and saw the blood overflowing from Sun Baifa's mouth.
Although he only exchanged one blow with the Dragon and Phoenix Rings, just as Sun Baifa had said before, the old man does not rely on his muscles and bones. Even though his true energy was not weak, his muscles, bones and internal organs could not withstand it. He injured himself by simply fighting a blow head-on.
Now that he has to treat Sun Tuozi's injuries, how can Sun Baifa possibly hold on?
Fortunately, the servants at Xingyun Manor were still there. When they opened the door and saw Sun Xiaohong and the other two, they were about to chase them away when they heard Sun Xiaohong call out:
"I have important news to tell Wei Wu; it concerns Shangguan Jin Hong!"
The servants didn't recognize Sun Xiaohong and the other two, but they had heard about the upcoming battle at Xingyun Manor. They dared not cause any trouble, so they quickly invited them in, sent someone to fetch a doctor, and went to find the head maid of Plum Garden to inform Wei Wu.
When Wei Wu finally saw Sun Baifa, Sun Tuozi, and Sun Xiaohong, the first two had finally stabilized their injuries thanks to the doctor's treatment.
But it only managed to stabilize the situation.
"The injuries are too severe; I'm afraid I'm powerless to help. If we could invite the two gentlemen from the Mei family, there might still be a sliver of hope for a cure."
The doctor was also in a dilemma. People from the martial arts world are known for their volatile tempers. If they were provoked, not paying the consultation fee would be a minor matter; the real danger was that they might resort to violence.
It should be known that doctors cannot heal themselves, and they are also afraid of spending money!
Fortunately, Wei Wu was skilled in both poisons and medicine. He immediately recognized the severity of Sun Baifa and Sun Tuozi's injuries, readily paid the doctor's fee, and had them escorted away with courtesy.
"Big brother, my grandpa and second uncle..." Sun Xiaohong's eyes were red and she suddenly threw herself into Wei Wu's arms. It was hard to tell whether it was tears or snot, which made Wei Wu's coat a mess.
Wei Wu could only be thankful that he wasn't a germaphobe. He patted his buttocks and said, "What's the rush? He's not dead yet."
Sun Xiaohong choked for a moment, her large, bright eyes filled with resentment. How could she speak like that in front of a patient's family!
The next moment, Wei Wu said lightly, "I can cure it."
Sun Xiaohong immediately released Wei Wu, turned to the side and hugged his arm, trying to get away with it by being cute: "Big brother, I knew you were a good person. Quickly help my grandfather and second uncle get their injuries treated, and the Sun family will definitely repay you handsomely!"
"A generous reward? How generous?" Wei Wu looked down at Sun Xiaohong, his feet rooted to the spot.
Sun Xiaohong blushed and said, "I'm already yours. How would I know what happens to the Sun family afterward?"
Wei Wu withdrew his hand, which had been slightly uncomfortable, and pinched her cheek, saying, "You little devil, when did you become my woman?"
"When you want to!" Sun Xiaohong was no longer giving in for nothing; she was practically throwing herself at him. She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Wei Wu's neck, and kissed him on the cheek, her ears turning bright red.
"If you can stabilize my second uncle and grandfather's injuries, I can carry them in tonight..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Sun Baifa nearly coughed up blood. He looked at his granddaughter angrily and said helplessly, "I have some information about the strength of Shangguan Jin Hong and Jing Wuming. In addition, the Sun family will provide half of its assets as a consultation fee."
"And another thing," he took a deep breath, "this girl's dowry will be at least eighty-eight loads!"
