The result was that Liu Yuanhu’s subordinate fighters gave special attention, and ended up brutally exploding his head.
Not everyone possesses the courage to cut off one’s arm to survive.
Good or bad is a comparison; at this moment, Lu Yue could only comfort herself this way, at least being able to escape with her life meant her luck wasn’t too bad.
At this moment, a dull pain came from her left shoulder. The suppression effect of the original pill was continuously diminishing. Lu Yue’s toes lightly tapped on the tree trunk repeatedly, and in an instant, she sprang far away. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her face slightly changing.
Then she saw that the blood from her left shoulder wound, initially bright red, was beginning to show a hint of blackness.
"I must deal with this toxin quickly, if delayed, it might leave a hidden injury," Lu Yue gritted her teeth, inwardly. She intended to stop for the moment, but upon realizing she hadn’t run far enough yet, she felt it was unsuitable.
She reached backward and took out a Detoxification Pill, swallowing it to forcibly suppress the toxin. To fully heal and recover, it would still require slow nurturing.
With her breath more stable, she continued to flee toward the county city.
However, Lu Yue didn’t know that in the dark, a pair of cold eyes was closely following her.
Gu Sheng had caught up with Lu Yue some time ago, but merely relied on the Snake Breath Skill to quietly tail her from a distance. Since the county city was still far away, he had plenty of time to wait for the right opportunity; Gu Sheng was not in a hurry.
Although the state of the woman in the white dress looked terrible, who knew if it was just a pretense?
Gu Sheng himself was no stranger to such tactics.
He watched silently, like a venomous snake, poised to strike, waiting for the best opportunity.
The two, one in the open and one in concealment, ran through the mountain forest. At this moment, the desolate auction site had been left far behind, with only faint glimmers of firelight visible. They had completely left the danger zone.
Lu Yue stopped suddenly, shouting coldly:
"Sir, you’ve followed me for so long, exactly what do you want?!"
She raised her delicate brows coldly, brimming with killing intent, surveying the surrounding mountain forest. Unbeknownst to her, the white ribbon from her arm had already slipped into her hand.
In the shadows, Gu Sheng’s spirit shook, almost thinking this woman had already discovered him.
But his mind turned quickly, and he realized something was off instantly. If he had been spotted early on, she wouldn’t have waited until now to expose him.
Moreover, now that the Snake Breath Skill was getting closer to the Perfect Realm, Gu Sheng had confidence in his Snake Breath Skill.
"She’s bluffing!"
He made no noise, but instead operated the Snake Breath Skill with all his might, withdrawing his vital energy fluctuations to the extreme.
Sure enough.
A few breaths later, the supposedly murderous woman in the white dress suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, pain showing on her delicate face.
Lu Yue cursed bitterly:
"Damn Liu Yuanhu, his subordinates are all despicable and shameless. This toxin is even more potent than I imagined. It has to be dealt with now. Luckily, there’s no one following in the dark..."
