Chapter 310 - 310 An Assassination Attempt
Thank you readers!
In addition to the advancement of his cultivation technique and power, Qin Huai’s poison and medicinal skills also improved rapidly. He had already accumulated 1,000 experience points for the treasured weapon grade potion technique, with his experience points now at 1357/5000.
Qin Huai flicked his wrist lightly, throwing several medicinal herbs into a container. With his current poison skills, he could accurately concoct the best poison even with his eyes closed.
He pinched his finger lightly, and blood instantly fell into the container. The unique aspect of the poison king technique was that after cultivating it, one’s blood could carry poison. The higher the realm, the greater the toxicity. Therefore, even if the Blood Poison Gang’s martial artists died, many people still feared them.

Qin Huai multitasked, creating new poisons while trying various methods to develop the use of his blood. The rich smell of medicine slowly filled the courtyard.
…
Outside the courtyard wall, Xue Guangye and his younger brother stared at Qin Huai’s room, their eyes red.
“Brother, are we really going to kill this Qin Huai?” The younger brother’s mouth trembled.
“Of course! Otherwise, why did we waste so many days?” Xue Guangye gritted his teeth.
“But if the gang finds out, it will be a death sentence.” His younger brother had not made up his mind yet.
“If I don’t kill him, I won’t be able to repay the money I owe to the casino. If I tell the gang leader, I’ll lose the card I’m going to get next month!” Xue Guangye continued, “Without it, you and I will only be low-ranking leaders in the Blood Poison Gang in the future. What’s the difference between that and death?”
Xue Guangye looked at Qin Huai’s courtyard. Although he had just entered the bone pattern realm and seemed to have a bright future ahead, he was addicted to gambling. All the money he had earned over the years had been thrown into the casino.
A few days ago, he had just broken through to the bone pattern realm and, in his excitement, lost himself in the casino, losing all his money. He still owed the casino more than two hundred thousand taels of silver.
He knew that he had seen a valuable spear on Qin Huai, the newcomer who had just joined the gang. Xue Guangye had seen the world and could tell from a distance that it was a complete artifact of high quality. That spear could definitely cover his debt.
Moreover, Qin Huai was a new face with a low cultivation level, weak poison skills, and a large sum of money. Without a doubt, he was a gift from the heavens.
“Alright, let’s do this then!” The younger brother gritted his teeth and nodded. “But, Big Brother, you have to promise me one thing…”
Before his brother could say anything, Xue Guangye raised his hand. “Don’t worry. After this, I, Xue Guangye, will never gamble again! If I bet again, I’ll be struck by five lightning strikes!” His voice was sonorous and powerful, aiming to reassure his younger brother.
“Let’s go then.”
Holding their breaths, they silently walked to the courtyard wall of Qin Huai’s residence. In the next second, they placed their fingers on the wall, and a sticky liquid seeped out of their fingers, firmly attaching them to the earthen wall. Silently, they climbed up the wall bit by bit.
Their movements were very light, but it took them more than ten breaths to peek their heads out from the three-meter-high earthen wall. In their field of vision, they could vaguely see a figure sitting by the bed and meditating through the window. Strange explosions could be heard from time to time.
One step, two steps, three steps…
As they moved silently, the veins on Xue Guangye’s forehead bulged, and his eyes gradually turned bloodshot. A few more steps and they had almost reached the window.
Suddenly, Xue Guangye’s eyes widened as he turned to look at his younger brother. His face was already frighteningly purple, and his eyes were bulging.
As members of the Blood Poison Gang, how could they not know what was wrong with their bodies? They were poisoned! Moreover, the poison was quite potent. They were clearly holding their breaths, yet the poison had seeped into their bodies through their skin and pores. What kind of poison was this?
The two brothers’ eyes were filled with panic, but they did not dare to make a sound. They only spoke with their eyes. This guy was not simple.
The two brothers exchanged glances and instantly understood each other’s meaning. They suppressed the toxins that were rapidly spreading in their bodies and walked out of the door.
How could they not know? The Qin Huai before them was not a gift from the heavens but a grim reaper. His poison technique was far superior to theirs.
They had just climbed out of Qin Huai’s courtyard when the younger brother opened his mouth to take a breath of fresh air. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was only at the ninth refinement realm, so he was not as resistant to poison as Xue Guangye, who was at the bone pattern realm.
“Ugh…” Xue Guangye spat out a mouthful of blood, which was not red but black, and sizzled as it hit the ground. “I regret it so much!”
His eyes were filled with unwillingness. He reached out his hand, wanting to take out some antidote pills. However, he realized that he didn’t have any with him; he only had some poison to kill.
Bang!
His head, which he had tried hard to raise, fell to the ground. He died on the spot.
Not far away, Yang Erbao’s face was filled with joy as he hurried over to Qin Huai’s residence. From afar, he could see two figures lying outside the walls.
