Xiao Qi lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with apology, "Uncle Shao, I'm sorry. I was too careless and didn't search this guy's body."
"If this guy had shattered the medicine at a critical moment, both of us would have been in danger then."
Hearing this, Mu Feng's face showed a faint smile, "No, this kind of toxin might be fatal to you, but it has no significant effect on me."
"My current strength can easily neutralize this toxin, but you cannot."
"Perhaps they weren't targeting me this time."
As he spoke, a killing intent permeated Mu Feng's face.
His eyes also gained a few sharp glints, "Send someone to investigate. Find out where Xu Da has been recently and who he has contacted."
"Those people might not be truly powerful martial artists. They are very likely some of our old enemies."
"Or perhaps we have caused them some harm, leading them to hate us deeply."
If it were before, Mu Feng might have assumed that Xu Da was captured by those mysterious people.
But now he had changed his speculation.
It was because of this vial of poison in his hand. If they were truly powerful martial artists, they would absolutely not use such a thing for an ambush.
Moreover, they wouldn't have made a move before he displayed the strength that far exceeded their expectations.
Without absolute certainty, those people would definitely not dare to act.
Xiao Qi immediately took out his phone and sent a text message, arranging for his subordinates to immediately start investigating the matter. If they went now, they might still catch some clues. If they delayed any further, who knew if those people would erase all traces.
Mu Feng flipped his wrist, and the poison disappeared from his hand. His gaze then fell upon the burly man.
When the burly man saw the poison earlier, his pupils had contracted violently. Now, seeing Mu Feng's gaze fixed on him, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"I believe you definitely know about this. It's very likely that when Xu Da called me, you already knew his whereabouts and that he had called. Your appearance was to drag me into the abyss."
"The poison on Xu Da should have been for you to shatter directly, but you haven't acted until now. You want to make a move on me, don't you?"
The burly man shook his head. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word.
The smile on Mu Feng's face became even more pronounced. He said calmly, "You don't need to deny it. I've already seen the answer in your eyes."
"As for what the answer is, I believe I don't need to say any more."
"Perhaps you also have this toxin on you, and you were about to use it, but at this moment I immobilized your body, making you unable to move an inch."
"Are you very anxious now?"
Hearing this, the expression on the burly man's face changed again, and the fear in his eyes gradually became more obvious.
Mu Feng smiled, "It seems I guessed correctly. You also have this kind of toxin on you."
"You wanted to use this toxin to deal with me. Who is the person behind you?"
"You must know a lot of information, otherwise they wouldn't have sent you to carry out this mission. And once you use this toxin, you will die too. Is it worth it for them to sacrifice your life?"
Mu Feng pulled out a silver needle.
The burly man had regained his ability to speak and still shook his head like a rattle.
His eyes were now devoid of focus. His entire being seemed to have lost its color, as if life had lost its meaning. He looked at Mu Feng with utter despair.
"Kill me or flay me as you please. Even if you torture me to death, I won't give you any more information. The reason I did this is because they control my family."
"I don't even know who ordered me to do this. Now they are holding my family hostage. If I don't follow their orders, my family will die."
"If I die alone versus my entire family dying, I'd rather come find you for a mutual destruction."
"Mu Feng, I know your strength is immense. They told me about your abilities, but I don't know their specific background or origin. I have no reason to lie to you about this."
"If I knew who they were, I would wish for you to find them right now and slaughter them all. Unfortunately, I don't know."
The burly man's eyes held helplessness, and his expression carried even more fear. "Do you know? If I fail the mission, my family might die too, because they don't want my family to leak any information, nor do they want me to tell you these things."
"But I have no choice now, because I know their ruthless methods. If something happens to me, my family will not be safe."
"Mu Feng, searching for Xu Da is useless. The information Xu Da knows is only what they wanted him to know. In that position, they have also set up an inescapable net for you."
"Xu Da is just a tool to be used."
"If you go there, you might never come back."
Hearing this, the smile on Mu Feng's face became even more pronounced, "If your plan fails, then Xu Da becomes the next target. You people are truly meticulous."
"But it doesn't matter. Even if it's an inescapable net, I can tear open a gap."
"Since you are no longer of any use, there is no need for you to continue speaking."
After Mu Feng finished speaking, he directly inserted a silver needle into the burly man. A sharp killing intent appeared in his eyes.
He knew the burly man wasn't lying. A person's eyes could not hide the truth.
His observation of micro-expressions had reached an apex. If the burly man wanted to deceive him, his eyes would not escape his sight.
Xiao Qi's eyes showed a trace of melancholy, "Young Master, this fellow's methods of operation, how do they remind me so much of Black Snake?"
"They are indeed very similar to their style. Black Snake was completely annihilated by us. The few escapees were just a handful of kittens. It shouldn't be them, or perhaps it's their successor."
As Mu Feng said this, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes, "If they are truly looking for trouble, then tonight I will hunt the snakes!"
