Two hundred people, all seemingly struck with madness, eyes bloodshot, relentlessly attacking those around them.
"Stop it, damn you, stop!" Chen Shuo roared again.
But it was in vain.
What on earth was happening?
Chen Shuo had no idea what had transpired.
It must have been Yan Ruifei; Yan Ruifei must have done something.
But all she did was walk over and carry Yun Jin away; she didn't do anything else.
So why had his men all gone mad?
Suddenly, it seemed Chen Shuo realized something. His mouth agape, he pointed at Yan Ruifei and exclaimed, "You, you're Fulingzi!"
The Tea Server under the Red Building's Four Poisonous Herbs.
They were Fulingzi, Dong Kuizi, Cheqianzi, and Mu Huanzi.
Chen Shuo had seen the latter three.
But he had never met Fulingzi and had no knowledge of her capabilities.
Now, with Yan Ruifei's appearance, his men had all spiraled into insanity.
Chen Shuo couldn't help but connect the dots.
Yan Ruifei, she was actually one of Jiangdu's four drugs, Fulingzi!
If it really came down to a direct confrontation, even if Fulingzi was formidable, Chen Shuo was confident he could overwhelm her with sheer numbers.
Just like Yun Jin, who possessed fearsome combat abilities, yet was still struck down and left at his mercy.
But now.
His men had all lost their senses.
They could no longer distinguish friend from foe!
How were they supposed to fight like this?
Regret suddenly overtook Chen Shuo; he regretted not waiting for Su Chen to arrive before taking action.
He finally understood why Su Chen had said those words earlier.
He had underestimated the Red Building.
Underestimated the power of Jiangdu's Four Poisonous Herbs.
Fulingzi ignored Chen Shuo, carrying Yun Jin upstairs, summoning several Tea Servers to tend to Yun Jin's injuries, and then she turned and descended the stairs again.
But this time, she held a teacup in her hand.
With a light wave of her hand, those mired in insanity finally came to a halt.
And they voluntarily cleared a path for her.
Complete silence fell over the venue, except for the crisp jingling of bells echoing with her delicate footsteps.
Watching Fulingzi approach step by step, Chen Shuo couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"What do you want?" he stammered.
With a gentle smile, Fulingzi said, "Young Master, didn't you want tea? Let this humble girl personally serve it to you."
Chen Shuo looked at the teacup in Fulingzi's hand, noting that the tea inside was blood-red.
Who knows what she had put in it.
Oh...
He knew what was in it.
Because he saw a thick centipede floating to the surface.
Still alive.
It seemed there were also scorpions and the like.
All alive.
Swimming in the blood-colored tea.
Chen Shuo's face turned deathly pale; he turned to flee, only to find his escape route blocked by people behind him.
His own people.
Those who were once his brothers now glared at him like vengeful demons.
As though he was their mortal enemy.
Chen Shuo was afraid.
He didn't understand why, why his people were all under control, with only him remaining clear-headed.
But he knew, he stood no chance against this terrifying woman.
He had to escape, or he would die here today.
Grabbing a metal pipe from the ground, he rushed towards the exit.
Bang!
The steel pipe in his hands smashed head-on into the person blocking him, yet that person didn't even flinch.
Chen Shuo continued swinging the steel pipe.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.
It was as though his underlings had lost all sense of pain.
In the end, Chen Shuo was pinned to the ground by his own brothers, unable to move.
Yun Jin remained as graceful as a fairy.
She held a teacup in her hands, walking towards Chen Shuo.
But in Chen Shuo's eyes,
she looked like a demon.
Even if he were foolish, he knew that drinking that tea would yield no good outcome.
Yet, he had absolutely no power to resist.
His mouth was forcefully pried open.
He could only watch helplessly as Yun Jin poured the tea into his mouth.
Chen Shuo could even distinctly feel those living things crawling down his throat.
This feeling was more terrifying than death itself.
"Do you know why I let you stay conscious? It's so that you know, the Red Building is not a place that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can bully."
"Don't worry, what I am feeding you is my specially concocted Five Poison Heart Devouring, but before they eat your heart, they will first consume your internal organs bit by bit, so within a month, you won't die."
Finally, Yun Jin spoke. Her voice sounded as melodious as music from the heavens.
But to Chen Shuo's ears, it was akin to the sounds from Hell.
Having one's internal organs consumed by poisonous insects!
Such a death was simply...
The mere thought of it sent shivers down one's spine.
"As for the others, I won't let them die either, however, leaving them whole in this world would simply be a disaster, so, let them break each other's limbs instead."
After Yun Jin spoke these words, those people immediately raised the steel pipes in their hands, aiming at the arms of the person in front of them.
And then they smashed down hard.
"Chirp!"
Just then, a sharp shriek sounded.
The voice swept across the entire hall instantaneously, shattering the cups on the tables.
While the previously graceful Yun Jin suddenly turned pale and gestured with her hand.
The long sleeve of her ancient dress rolled up a table, which quickly placed itself in front of her.
Bang!
The table also shattered upon impact.
After that, Yun Jin's body was sent flying backwards.
And Chen Shuo's minions, who were about to break the arms in front of them, all dropped their steel pipes at this scream, and then covered their ears in agony.
Several seconds later, people came to their senses.
"What's happening to me?"
"My head is so dizzy!"
"My ears..."
Every person showed an expression of pain.
Many even had blood streaming from their ears.
However, it had brought them back from their madness.
"Sorry, I'm late," a figure slowly walked in.
Seeing the newcomer, Chen Shuo's face lit up with wild joy.
"Master Chen, save me!" Chen Shuo quickly ran towards Su Chen.
"What happened?" Su Chen asked indifferently.
He had already said that with Chen Shuo's abilities, subduing Yun Jin was sheer fantasy.
Unexpectedly, this guy was so bold to make a move before he even arrived.
Luckily, he arrived just in time, or perhaps all of Chen Shuo's two hundred men would have been crippled by now.
"That damn woman made me drink some bugs, they're now in my stomach," Chen Shuo said with a mournful face.
Su Chen placed his hand on Chen Shuo's stomach, immediately understanding the situation.
"Endure it," he said lightly, then suddenly slapped Chen Shuo's stomach hard.
Pap pap pap!
After a few light sounds, the poisonous insects in Chen Shuo's stomach were all shattered into powder by the inner strength.
