HISS...
Zhu Ju sat cross-legged in a corner of the woodshed yard. White steam billowed from his body as bloody sweat, tinged with a black substance, seeped from his pores.
Upon hitting the ground, it corroded the earth with a sizzling sound.
Red Eagle Tong Zhixiang had used a special Method to hide poison within his Qi Blood, even forming a Poison Sac in his heart.
Once activated, it could kill any living creature within a radius of several dozen feet.
Even Zhu Ju had been caught off guard and fallen for it, but thankfully, his unique constitution meant the poison wasn't fatal.
Time slowly passed, and the Blood Poison was gradually expelled from his body.
HUFF...
Letting out a long, turbid breath, he slowly opened his eyes, a trace of exhaustion showing in their depths.
"The last of the poison is gone."
'I need to be more careful from now on. This body only has a Ninth-Grade Cultivation, after all. Caution is key.'
"Hm?"
