There was no time to lose; they should first find an antidote spirit stone to detoxify her. Delaying further might put her life in danger!
"Who still has an antidote spirit stone?" Mo Qi looked around and asked.
Niu Jiye and the others exchanged glances, then shook their heads. "None left, we've used them all."
Was this courting death?
Mo Qi frowned.
Immediately after, his frown deepened, and he let out a roar.
The woman, in extreme pain, bit down on his shoulder and clawed at him wildly, her nails digging into his flesh!
Mo Qi instinctively thrashed, trying to shake her off.
But the woman clung to him like a leech, impossible to dislodge.
Mo Qi grimaced in pain, hopping from foot to foot.
Niu Jiye quickly handed him a dagger. "Kill her!"
Mo Qi endured the pain and glared at him. "What are you thinking?"
Niu Jiye said earnestly, "You still need to refine artifacts, and there are so many people waiting for your treatment. But how can you refine artifacts in this state?"
That was true!
But saving people couldn't be done carelessly!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him!
His own body was a dan furnace!
He had previously saved Xue Ying and Lu Xiaoyue using this dan furnace.
With this thought, Mo Qi, enduring the excruciating pain, hugged the woman and leaped, heading to the third floor where some demon green vine cloaks were kept.
Entering the stone house, he stumbled, gathering the medicinal ingredients.
The woman was still struggling in agony, clawing and scratching him, leaving him covered in wounds.
She also continued to bite his shoulder, refusing to let go!
Mo Qi had several times wanted to strike her dead with a palm, but he held back each time.
A trembling heart of compassion and tenderness shone brightly!
He could only endure the intense pain, gritting his teeth, as he processed the materials.
At this moment, Niu Jiye and the others followed him in.
Seeing the blood on Mo Qi's body and the sweat on his face, everyone's eyelids twitched!
Meanwhile, others began to succumb to the poison, rolling on the ground.
Niu Jiye wanted to urge Mo Qi on, but seeing his hands moving swiftly as if he was already working, he held his tongue.
Mo Qi also saw those rolling on the ground and felt a burning anxiety.
However, no matter how anxious he was, he had to resolve his own immediate problem first.
So, he quickly stuffed the processed medicinal ingredients into his mouth, then sat cross-legged, helping the woman to sit on the ground as well.
He then began to circulate his fire spirit energy.
What was he doing?
Everyone watched, utterly bewildered.
A moment later, Mo Qi's body turned crimson, like a furnace burning, emitting a scorching glow.
To everyone's astonishment, Mo Qi grabbed the woman's hand, interlocking their fingers, primarily to prevent her from struggling. The woman, throughout this, continued to bite Mo Qi's shoulder.
After a short while, white mist began to rise from where their palms met, and then, thick mist also began to rise from the woman's head.
The woman's pain gradually subsided, and her earlier frenzy slowly gave way to calmness.
Gradually, wisps of black energy drifted out from her body.
Her poisoning was not severe to begin with.
Coupled with Mo Qi's method, which maximized the retention of medicinal efficacy, the woman was quickly and completely detoxified.
It was then that she realized she was propped against a man's shoulder, biting his shoulder, and he was bleeding!
The woman immediately pulled her head back. At this moment, she clearly saw the man's face.
Mo Qi also saw her face clearly.
It was Shui Han!
Mo Qi's jaw dropped in shock!
Shui Han was equally stunned beyond measure!
Countless thoughts raced through her mind.
How did he get here?
Why was I biting him?
How did I end up leaning on his shoulder?
Did he save me?
Am I detoxified?
At this moment, they simultaneously noticed that their hands were still clasped together.
Shui Han felt immense shame, and a strong killing intent flickered in her eyes.
Mo Qi, however, thought of Jia Guan...
He reacted swiftly, flicking his hand and darting away like lightning, disappearing to the side in an instant.
Shui Han stood up, tidied her hair, revealing a face of breathtaking beauty!
Everyone present was mesmerized!
What incredible luck did this Mr. Mo have, to casually reach out and catch a peerless beauty!
At this moment, Shui Han fixed Mo Qi with a resentful yet sharp gaze!
Crystal tears rolled down, like pearls from a broken string, glistening and translucent, falling to the ground with a pattering sound, shattering one by one.
In her life, she had never even allowed a man to touch her hand. Yet, just now, she had been leaning on him, their fingers intertwined, with so many people watching.
"I'm sorry, I know you saved me, but you must die. After I kill you, I will also commit suicide." Shui Han looked at Mo Qi coldly and said.
As she spoke, she formed a hand seal, and a phantom sphere shot towards Mo Qi.
The phantom sphere spun endlessly, from which countless ice swords flew out continuously, striking at Mo Qi.
Mo Qi instinctively summoned the Qiankun Ring. The Qiankun Ring immediately emitted a brilliant radiance, spinning towards the incoming attack.
Just as they were about to collide!
Suddenly, a figure flashed, and a red light surged forward.
The red light initially resembled a sphere, then gradually split into strands from within, rotating and advancing, like a spiral, sharp and full of edge.
The sound was like thunder, shaking the heavens and earth, the light flashing like the descent of a scorching sun.
The spiraling strands shattered the ice swords as they spun, and continued forward, breaking through everything in their path until they plunged into the ice sphere, shattering it into pieces.
Shui Han immediately suffered a backlash, her body flying backward, crashing against the stone wall, and rolling to the ground.
Mo Qi hastily retracted the Qiankun Ring.
The residual energy exploded and splashed in the air, shaking the rocks and causing thick smoke to billow.
Amidst the chaos, people scrambled and crawled, helping and dragging each other as they rushed outwards.
Those who had succumbed to the poison were also pulled out by kind-hearted individuals.
Mo Qi, however, remained still.
When the smoke cleared, Ye Zhixun's imposing figure appeared in the center.
Shui Han slowly got up from the ground, her eyes still filled with malevolent resentment.
"I had no objection to you killing him, but now he can detoxify everyone. His life is linked with the lives of countless others. Therefore, I will not allow you to kill him," Ye Zhixun said coldly.
Mo Qi also said calmly, "I am not someone who fears death, but I cannot die like this. I am also not someone who shirks responsibility. I will take responsibility for whatever mistakes I make. I believe everything I did just now was to save lives, and it does not warrant death as responsibility."
The others gathered around again, chattering, "Miss, how can you be so unreasonable?"
"Miss, please be reasonable. He just saved you."
"If you kill him, what will happen to us? So many of us are waiting for his treatment. Are we to be buried along with your stubbornness?"
Shui Han merely stared at Mo Qi with a chilling gaze. "Then how do you intend to take responsibility?"
Mo Qi was momentarily stunned!
He had just said it casually, and she had taken it seriously!
If he had to take responsibility, at most it would be an apology!
But an apology clearly wouldn't satisfy her.
So, he dared not speak it aloud!
However, there were always those who enjoyed watching the show. A voice from the crowd shouted, "Simple, marry her."
Others chimed in, "Yes, marry her!"
This?
Mo Qi straightened his body, putting on a look of great solemnity. "Alright, let it be so."
At this moment, the cries of those who had succumbed to the poison rang out again, growing louder and louder.
Niu Jiye urged, "It's settled then. Sigh, such a simple matter, let's not drag it out. Quickly, quickly go and save people, the main business is important."
Shui Han walked directly towards Mo Qi.
What was she going to do?
