Chapter 2201 - 2197: What If I Don’t Want to Forgive You?
The eyes of Poison Teeth suddenly narrowed. Unlike the old Bai Yan, he was not someone deeply loyal to the Sea Shark Gang and the Water Tower.
Living in the Sea Shark Gang allowed him to use his strategies to gain resources and to feel the thrill of controlling power.
But if life is lost, what use is there in controlling power? Being alive is everything.
Poison Teeth took a deep breath and moved next to old Bai Yan: "Gang Leader, I follow your lead, let’s fight them."
"Hahaha, truly my good brother."
Old Bai Yan laughed heartily, but his laughter abruptly stopped.
A sharp dagger unexpectedly pierced through old Bai Yan’s chest. Old Bai Yan slowly turned to look at Poison Teeth: "You, you."
"I surrender, please don’t kill me, I know their plan, I’m the Poison Teeth of Sea Shark Gang, and I’ve killed the gang leader, old Bai Yan."
Poison Teeth held up the head of old Bai Yan high.
Two men wearing red masks landed beside him, and Poison Teeth closed his eyes, never expecting that they wouldn’t even accept surrender.
But what surprised Poison Teeth was that these two men indeed did not kill him, instead, they took all the magic treasures from his body, including the storage ring, leaving only the inner armor he wore.
"Come with us. We’ll take you to see the master."
A hoarse voice came from behind the mask.
Poison Teeth let out a long breath, realizing these people were not puppets. If they were truly puppets, even the Water Dragon Tower Master might not be a match for their controller.
The sound of fighting gradually diminished, and those wearing black robes and opera masks escorted a sneaky old man over.
The old man’s brows furrowed: "Poison Teeth."
"I didn’t expect that such a master would know me. You must be the Immortal Doctor Guo Muye, beside Hall Master Tang Ming. I’ve long heard of your great name."
Poison Teeth looked at the old man with a smile.
But the old man coldly snorted: "No need for flattery, I am not Guo Muye. What’s this about, didn’t I say, no need to leave anyone alive?"
The old man looked at the masked man holding Poison Teeth.
The masked man waved his hand, and old Bai Yan’s head was thrown in front of the old man: "He did it."
"Oh?"
Lan Yancha and the old man looked at Poison Teeth with interest.
"As far as I know, Poison Teeth, you are quite trusted by old Bai Yan and are the Sea Shark Gang’s chief strategist. Over the years, the infamous reputation of the Sea Shark Gang is largely thanks to you, isn’t it?"
The old man said with a chuckle.
Sweat began to form on Poison Teeth’s forehead, realizing this seemingly weak old man was actually the leader of these masked men.
From the respectful manner of Lan Yancha and Tang Ming towards him, it was clear this was not a simple man.
Moreover, since he knew so much about Poison Teeth, it meant he was surely on the elder’s list.
"Senior, those were just my brief moments of foolishness, I beg Hall Master Tang and the other seniors to spare my life, I am willing to be a servant and follow you."
Poison Teeth crawled half a step, trying to reach the old man’s side.
But the masked man beside him used some unknown method to immobilize him there; he could only move that once, unable to make a sound.
"What to do? Tang Ming, I’ll leave it to you to handle."
The old man stroked his long beard, a faint smile on his face.
Tang Ming raised an eyebrow: "Let him speak, I want to ask him a few things."
"Hall Master Tang, have mercy, have mercy."
Although Poison Teeth couldn’t speak earlier, he could hear what Tang Ming and the others were saying.
At this moment, life and death were in Tang Ming’s hands, and Poison Teeth’s gaze toward Tang Ming was full of pleading.
"Stop crying, crying won’t save you. Speak, this time, the ones coming to assassinate me, it can’t be just you guys from the Sea Shark Gang, right?"
Tang Ming’s face bore a mocking smile.
Poison Teeth’s eyes brightened: "That’s right, I know their setup, I know who they are and what their strengths are. As long as Hall Master Tang spares me, I’ll tell you."
"Oh? If I spare you, you’ll tell me? But I don’t feel like sparing you."
Tang Ming crouched in front of Poison Teeth, suddenly reaching his hand into Poison Teeth’s mouth.
Poison Teeth’s body started convulsing violently, his face turning visibly black.
Tang Ming stood up, stepping on Poison Teeth’s chest: "Speak, if you tell us, you might die quickly. Otherwise, my poison will make you suffer for forty-nine days before dying."
"No, I don’t want to die, spare me, spare me."
Poison Teeth screamed in agony, drawing many eyes to Tang Ming.
They had all seen Tang Ming concoct elixirs before, his healing elixirs were extremely effective. Moreover, Tang Ming always had a smile on his face.
This led them to initially believe that Tang Ming was a kind-hearted Elixir Cultivator.
But when Tang Ming used the Thousand Evil Poison Technique, they realized that Tang Ming’s most formidable skill was not alchemy, but poison.
Poison Teeth twitched and struggled as pain and intense itch corroded his nerves.
"Give me a swift death."
Poison Teeth despairingly looked at Tang Ming.
Tang Ming tapped his chest with the toe of his shoe: "Speak, who are the ones sent to assassinate me this time? You’re going to die anyway. If it weren’t for them sending you to assassinate me, you wouldn’t have suffered this. If it were me, I’d take someone down with me before dying, don’t you think?"
Tang Ming’s voice was full of temptation, but to Poison Teeth’s ears now, it made him laugh madly.
"Yes, if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. The ones coming after you are the Chu Family’s ancestor Chu Li, and he’s allied with Han Ya. They’re laying an ambush ahead for you. Old Bai Yan and I were the vanguard, and once we lured you in, we could retreat successfully."
Poison Teeth swallowed the saliva in his mouth, speaking so fast that his tongue began to cramp.
But Tang Ming already understood the scheme of Chu Li and Han Ya.
A flash of murderous intent shone in Tang Ming’s eyes: "Old Tang, since the enemy is targeting me, I can’t just sit here and watch. I might not be able to handle Chu Li and Han Ya, but I can certainly take out a few of the people they bring."
The pent-up frustration in Tang Ming’s heart sought a release, otherwise, it might cause him trouble.
Ever since he entered the Taoyuan World, it has been a tumultuous journey.
The person behind old Tang was likely his father, but for some unknown reason, he kept sending people to help Tang Ming, yet never came to see him.
This time, Tang Ming wanted to act not just to vent, but also to show his father that he could protect himself and live well without his protection.
