C239 Cruel and Merciless
This round was also a knockout round. If one lost one round, he would be directly eliminated.
There were 32 contestants, or in other words, 32 teams, a total of 16 stages.
This round was divided into three rounds. The 32nd to the 16th, the 16th to the eighth, and the eighth to the fourth. After three rounds, four members or groups directly participated in the final competition.
Therefore, if one wanted to advance, they could not lose any of the three rounds. No matter if it was testing the Gu or implanting it, they could not!
"Alright, it's decided then. Hehe, let's work together. We must win this round!"
Wuh Xiaoer seemed very confident. Ye Kai only nodded and did not say anything else.
The second round of the competition began.
The result of the draw didn't seem like the heavens wanted to immediately put Ye Kai in front of their arch-enemy, Lau Chuixue. They didn't even touch the dark-faced man.
In the first round, Ye Kai and the others drew Gu. This meant that they would plant Gu in the opponent and let the opponent remove Gu.
According to the previous agreement, Ye Kai didn't go on stage. Instead, he let Wuh Xiaoer choose the main pillar of this match.
The person testing the Gu was an old man with a white beard. Although this old man had a hunched back, he had an overbearing look on his face.
"It's Mu Family's Mu Feng, Old Man Mu!"
"That's right, that's right. If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have noticed. It really is Mu Fengmu!"
"This Gu Debai was chosen by Old Master Mu as his team. He's really unlucky! Everyone knew that in the entire Miao boundary, except for Old Man Liu, Lau Chuixue, who was both good at Gu medicine and Gu medicine. Old Man Mu is the one who has a deep understanding of the art of Gu medicine!"
" That's right. Look at that Gu Debai's partner. At first glance, he also looks like a young (young) kid with not even fully grown fur. What kind of Gu do you know how to plant? Who knew, perhaps Old Man Mu would directly eat the Venomous Insect as a snack. Hahahaha... "
...
Ye Kai only listened with interest to the discussions of the crowd. He wasn't afraid that Wuh Xiaoer would lose. As for why he was so confident in Wuh Xiaoer... However, Ye Kai didn't want to delve into it now. In short, he knew... In this competition, the only thing he was worried about was the safety of Master Mu, who was said to be on par with Lau Chuixue, who was almost on par with the Gu Physician.
"Participants, please prepare in three minutes! After the Gu is planted, the person who has been infected by the Gu must remove the Gu within ten minutes. If the time exceeds, or if the person is unable to withstand the Venomous Insect's poison within ten minutes, once the time was over, the person who planted the Gu needed to immediately lend a helping hand. Remove the Gu for the other party! Now, three minutes countdown begins!"
The speaker on the field rang once again.
"Young man, you look unfamiliar. Hehe, Grandpa Mu just wants to ask you, do you know how to write the word 'Gu' in Venomous Insect?"
That old man Mu Feng didn't even look at Wuh Xiaoer with his eyes. His head was raised so high that it couldn't be any higher, as if he was using his nostrils to speak.
Last time, he lost to Lau Chuixue. For the past ten years, he had been conserving his energy and preparing to wash away his previous shame.
There were many kinds of Venomous Insects in the Miao boundary. If the person who used the Gu was not mentioned, no one would have heard of it.
However, Mu Feng had grown up in the Miao boundary since he was young. When he was six years old, he had followed the adults in the family to identify the Gu and release it. When he was fifteen years old, he could help others take a liking to the Gu's disease. When he was eighteen years old, everyone in the town respected him as the Mu family's most outstanding Gu medicine genius in a hundred years. No matter what kind of Venomous Insect it was, in his hands... It would reveal its true form.
Therefore, his arrogance was indeed the basis of his arrogance.
"I can't read and don't know how to write the word Gu, but I know a huge secret. Old Man Mu, do you want to know?"
Wuh Xiaoer pretended to be mysterious and said to Mu Feng.
"Oh? You are just an unknown junior, what kind of big secret do you have? Why don't you tell me about it? If it can really move your Grandpa Mu... Grandpa Mu might teach you a little bit about the Gu Technique that will benefit you for the rest of your life!"
Mu Feng took advantage of his old age and said to Wuh Xiaoer.
"En! Thank you, Grandpa Mu. However, there are a lot of people here. Grandpa Mu, if you listen to me, I will tell you one person right now."
Wuh Xiaoer looked around and then pointed at the camera facing the center of the room, which meant that he must not let the two people talk on the big screen.
Mu Feng was also very curious. When he saw Wuh Xiaoer pretending to be mysterious, he laughed contemptuously, but he also leaned over to listen to the big secret that Wuh Xiaoer was talking about.
Wuh Xiaoer used his hand to cover his mouth in a serious manner and moved closer to Mu Feng's ear. He said word by word to Mu Feng, "This big secret is... You are going to die in my hands soon! Hahaha! Hahahahaha..."
After saying that, Wuh Xiaoer immediately burst into laughter. That laughter immediately covered the noisy stage.
"You, you, you! Cough cough cough cough, a rotten wood cannot be carved! Little kid with a yellow mouth, humph! "
Mu Feng was so angry that he kept coughing. He let out a heavy groan and ignored Wuh Xiaoer who was laughing wildly.
Wuh Xiaoer's action had once again caused an uproar in the crowd.
That guy called Gu Debai was already heaven defying, but he had heaven defying strength. Who would have thought that his partner would be even more heaven defying, arrogant, and domineering than him!
"Look at that guy called Wuh Xiaoer. He looks like a bird. I can see how annoying he is with just one look!"
"He still dares to challenge Old Mu? Old Mu is right. I'm afraid he doesn't even know how to write the word 'Gu' in the Venomous Insect, right?"
"Come, come, let's make a bet. I bet that the Gu he placed will be removed by Old Man Mu in three minutes!"
"You are overpraising that Wuh Xiaoer. It's hard to say whether he will plant the Gu or not. Hahahaha..."
No one thought highly of Wuh Xiaoer. They all thought that this guy was just trying to gain the upper hand with his words.
However, Ye Kai, who was staring at the big screen attentively, did not think so.
It was a mysterious man that even Ye Kai himself wasn't confident in defeating. It couldn't be a Dumbass that only knew how to talk. Besides, there were some things that made Ye Kai feel that Wuh Xiaoer was terrifying. He had even far surpassed that old man, Lau Chuixue.
With this thought in mind, Ye Kai prepared to activate the Clairvoyance Ability to see how Wuh Xiaoer was going to plant the Gu, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The old man, Mu Feng, who was three meters away from Wuh Xiaoer, was sitting there with a calm expression. He was preparing to test the Gu, but suddenly, he frowned. His right hand was holding onto his heart, and his eyes were wide open. It seemed like breathing was very difficult.
"Plop!"
Before the crowd could react, they saw that the old man, Mu Feng, had fallen heavily onto the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his body kept twitching. After a while, he completely stopped moving.
This change happened too suddenly, so much so that even the surrounding medical staff did not have the time to take any emergency measures.
A few seconds later, someone finally took the lead and rushed to the old man, resuscitating him.
Ye Kai sat in his seat and didn't move.
Perhaps only he knew that any form of emergency treatment was meaningless to the old man, Mu Feng.
A few seconds ago, Ye Kai had activated the Clairvoyance Ability before everyone else. He wanted to see what was going on with Mu Feng, and if there was one, he could save him once.
Unfortunately, Ye Kai was still a step too late, and a huge step too.
With his X-ray vision, the heart of the old man, Mu Feng, was only two-thirds of its original size, and the remaining two-thirds was still disappearing at an extremely fast speed!
This kind of disappearance was not out of thin air. Others might not be able to see it, but Ye Kai could.
It did not matter if he did not look at it. When he took a look, Ye Kai instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.
The heart of the old man, Mu Feng, was being eaten by a group of strange-looking bugs.
These bugs were extremely small. Even if thirty to fifty of them were added together, they were only the size of a fingernail. Mu Feng's heart was filled with countless of these bugs.
Although the little bugs were tiny, their beaks were full of barbs. It seemed to take up two-thirds of their small bodies. Ye Kai had no idea what kind of insects they were. However, he knew that his Clairvoyance Ability had yet to eliminate the little bugs. They had already died in Mu Feng's stomach.0
It was as if these little bugs were born to eat to their heart's content. Once they were stuffed to death, they would return to dust.
Ye Kai's Clairvoyance Ability was indeed heaven defying, but it was not so heaven defying that it could help a person lose more than half of his heart. He had given up on rebuilding a perfect heart. Retracting the Clairvoyance Ability, he looked at Wuh Xiaoer who had a cold expression on his face.
In the end, these medical staff would certainly not be able to save a person whose heart was about to be eaten up. Not to mention them, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would end up like this.
Similarly, if this wood wind could be dissected, people would be surprised to find out that he had lost a heart!
All of this happened too suddenly and so suddenly that Ye Kai didn't find any clues.
Wasn't this old man Mu Feng still fine just now? Why did he suddenly become like this?
Ye Kai closed his eyes and slowly replayed everything that he had just seen in his mind.
The Derivative ability of the Clairvoyance Ability not only allowed Ye Kai to remember all the patterns and numbers he had seen, but also allowed him to replay every detail like a movie.
Ye Kai watched carefully, not missing a single detail.
Finally, he discovered that just as Wuh Xiaoer and Mu Feng were whispering into each other's ears... He had no idea what channels the little bugs had used. They attached themselves to Mu Feng's body, and before Mu Feng could notice them, the insects had entered his body through his flesh!
Wuh Xiaoer's Gu Subduing Art was like a demon, all-pervasive!
Ye Kai sucked in a breath of cold air once again and looked at Wuh Xiaoer without saying a word.
This man was cruel and merciless. He was indeed a ruthless character.
