When I looked at Nangong Ling coldly, the latter also looked at me coldly: "As a referee, I will not do anything to you. After three days, the effect of the drug will automatically disappear. During these three days, you'd better stay in the water and don't move, otherwise your whole body will feel as if it was burned by fire. Anyway, you don't need to do anything during these three days, just reflect on yourself!"
In three days, you can actually do a lot.
At least in these three days, I can roughly estimate the overall strength of Hell Gate. I lost three days right after the start of the competition, which was a fatal blow to both me and Monk Shi.
Monk Shi stepped forward and said, "Nangong Ling, remove the poison from my brother."
"No!" Nangong Ling refused flatly, "As a referee, I have the right to punish the party that commits the foul. Otherwise, how can I show the fairness of the referee? Three days, not a single day less."
Monk Shi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to argue with you. I'm just telling you a fact. He is my brother in life and death."
"What does this have to do with me?" Nangong Ling said coldly, "As a referee, I only see justice, not personal feelings."
Monk Shi's eyes gradually turned cold: "Judge Nangong, I'm leaving now!"
As soon as Monk Shi said this, a trace of panic flashed across Nangong Ling's eyes, but she quickly calmed down: "Remember, you are not allowed to get close to Miss Guan within three days."
Monk Shi held my shoulders without saying a word, half-carrying me as he walked away. At this moment, Guan Qingyan suddenly said, "Wu Zhao, why do you suspect that I am deliberately harming you?"
I said coldly, "The grudge between us comes from the agreement of the previous generation. I don't owe you Guan family anything. However, if you, Miss Guan, want to completely resolve the grudge, the only way is to make me disappear forever. Is this reason enough?"
I didn't wait for Guan Qingyan to speak before I said, "Monk, let's go."
"Stop!" Nangong Ling said in a deep voice, "Come back and apologize to Qingyan."
I said coldly, "Nangong Ling, as a referee, aren't you being too lenient?"
Nangong Ling said coldly: "Asking you to apologize is a personal relationship between Qingyan and me. Can you come over?"
Without waiting for me to speak, Monk Shi suddenly turned around and showed his long stick, looking at Nangong Ling with cold eyes: "Zhaozi, you go first."
Nangong Ling suddenly said in a stern voice: "Shi Bucong, I also tell you that this is a personal grudge between Wu Zhao and me. Go away, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Monk Shi looked at Nangong Ling without saying a word, without taking a single step back. However, I secretly raised the Xuanming Qi and forced it towards my poisoned arm. When the extremely cold and yin Xuanming Qi penetrated my arm, the burning poisonous wound on my body was immediately reduced.
But before I could turn around, I saw Monk Shi spit out a mouthful of blood. Nangong Ling, who was standing opposite Monk Shi, shouted, "Are you going to retreat or not?"
Monk Shi gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the look he gave Nangong Ling became increasingly indifferent, without even a trace of emotion.
The quarrel between lovers is not terrible. The quarrel means that they still have something to say to each other. What is terrible is the strange indifference. If a person who used to be with you under the moonlight is too lazy to talk to you, it really means that he is ruthless and has torn off the last bit of attachment with his own hands.
However, the indifference of Shi Heshang now was even more terrifying. There was no anger or murderous intent in his eyes, not even a trace of emotional fluctuation. That was not a calm heart, but an indifference that was difficult to accept.
If a woman's hysteria can't even arouse a man's emotions, it only means that you are not even qualified to act in front of him. When he looks at you, it's just like watching an old movie that he has watched countless times. Although his eyes are fixed on the screen, he is always thinking about other things. He is just waiting for the movie to end.
Nangong Ling's face turned extremely pale in an instant: "Shi Bucong, I'll say it again, get out of here! You..."
Nangong Ling suddenly took out a Gu bell and shook it in the air several times. Blood suddenly spurted out of Monk Shi’s chest. He took two steps back and fell to the ground.
"Bastard!" I drew out my long knife, suddenly turned the Ghost Eye Money, and rushed straight towards Nangong Ling.
Duan Yunfei smiled faintly and said: "Form a formation..."
The Hell Gate Warlocks instantly dispersed to both sides, and at least four of them jumped from both sides of my body to my back at the same time. Their actions seemed to make way for me, but in fact they were leading me into the center of the formation.
I didn't see what kind of formation the Hell Gate used, but I was sure that the core of the formation was Nangong Ling. No matter whether my knife that was ready to strike could hurt Nangong Ling, as soon as I struck, I would be attacked from all directions like a rainstorm.
But I had to take action. From the moment I drew my sword, the Gu Bell in Nangong Ling's hand never stopped shaking.
I stepped on the ground in small steps, and the Gu bell in Nangong Ling's hand also vibrated sharply, as if we were both attacking at the same frequency. I wanted to stop Nangong Ling from controlling the Gu insect, but what was Nangong Ling doing? Was he using Shi Heshang to threaten me to stop, or was he simply attacking Shi Heshang
I don't have time to think too much. If I hold on for one more second, the poison in Monk Shi's body may become more serious. I don't dare to bet whether Nangong Ling will get angry and kill him suddenly...
When I was about three meters away from Nangong Ling, the cold air on the long sword surged, and the cold air like smoke instantly blocked the cold and shining blade of Luosha. But Luosha, hiding in the mist, became even more terrifying.
The three-foot-long blade seemed like a mad dragon lurking in the clouds, with ferocious horns and claws and thunder in its mouth. Once it appeared, it would surely bring with it tremendous power, roaring across the heaven and earth and causing wind and rain.
I took two consecutive steps forward to the distance of two meters, and the three ghost coins stopped at the same time, pointing in the direction of Nangong Ling's left hand side - was that the direction that was enough to kill the opponent
After a brief hesitation, I suddenly raised my sword and was about to strike with the "Flying Disaster" move when I suddenly heard someone shout, "Stop!"
Shen Lin! When I subconsciously stopped the long sword in my hand and took a half step back, Shen Lin also walked over calmly: "Wu Zhao, you step back first."
I put away my knife and stepped back a few steps, but Shen Lin slowly walked up to Nangong Ling and said, "Nangong Ling, is this how you act as a referee?"
Nangong Ling put away the Gu Bell and said, "I am just settling a personal grudge, I have no other intentions."
"But my people are injured!" Shen Lin said angrily, "Wu Zhao is poisoned and Shi Heshang is poisoned. Do you want them to withdraw from the ring directly?"
"Wu Zhao's poison will be cured within three days. I can control Shi... Shi Bucong's injuries." Nangong Ling took out a porcelain bottle from her body and said, "Give Shi Bucong the medicine here. His injuries can be controlled in a short time."
Shen Lin took the medicine and threw it to Monk Shi: "Take it first."
Monk Shi not only didn't take it, but he took a step to the side, letting the medicine bottle fall to pieces. Nangong Ling angrily asked, "Why didn't you take it?"
Monk Shi still stood there without saying a word, as if he didn't hear what Nangong Ling was saying.
Shen Lin said coldly: "Nangong Ling, you and Duan Yunfei are senior brothers and sisters. You shouldn't have come out to arbitrate this competition. However, since the other two families have agreed to let you be the referee, I don't want to say anything more. However, for the sake of fairness, I specially sent two anti-poison beads to Wu Zhao and Shi Heshang. Is this not a violation?"
The anti-poison beads sound extremely mysterious, but they are actually the inner elixirs of some powerful poisonous insects. They do not have the magical power of being immune to all poisons as described in the legend, but can only restrain common poisons.
When I took the anti-poison bead, Monk Shi also walked towards Shen Lin and took the thing from him. During this process, I was not looking at Monk Shi, but Nangong Ling. The moment Monk Shi took the anti-poison bead from Shen Lin, Nangong Ling's eyes turned red, but she quickly turned her head away so that no one could see the sadness in her eyes.
Shen Lin said coldly: "You can compete with your own abilities. I don't care who wins or loses. But if someone plays something other than the ring, I am not someone to be trifled with. Okay, you guys continue."
After Shen Lin threw down a harsh word, he left without even looking at us.
Not long after Shi Heshang and I rushed back to the rooftop, Guan's company employees started arriving one after another. This time, Guan Qingyan and the others also opened the curtains. From my angle, I could see those people gathering in the conference room. Before long, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room.
Although I don't know what Guan Qingyan said, I saw her assistant Ji Liping took out a piece of paper and kept ticking on it. It seemed like she was calling the roll. After Ji Liping ticked several times in a row, she said something to Guan Qingyan. The latter simply gave a few instructions, and several people took out their phones and made calls at the same time.
Monk Shi whispered, "Did anyone of them miss coming?"
"It looks like that." I said in a deep voice, "There are four people calling now, so they probably have four more people who haven't arrived yet. I think the fun is about to begin."
In just a short while, Duan Yunfei's men rushed out of the house and divided into four groups to different directions. Monk Shi said, "They are going to pick someone up. Should we follow them or just wait here?"
I hesitated and said, "We are too few in number now to chase them for clues. Let's just wait here until they all come back."
I put down the telescope and said, "Monk, what happened to you just now? Why was there something wrong with the way you looked at people? I thought something had happened to you."
Monk Shi shook his head and said, "My master once said that if a person's heart is dead, everything he sees is dead. Today I know that my master was not lying." (To be continued)
