Chapter 58: Nine-Turn Golden Needles

Lin Feng was utterly shocked!

The man looked at Lin Feng with a hint of disdain, snorted coldly and said, “Kid, you can’t kill me. My Immortal Venom technique has reached the pinnacle of mastery.”

“Tonight, I’ll let you taste what it’s like to have your heart devoured by ten thousand insects.”

As soon as he finished, he began to tremble all over. Countless black insects sprang from his body, dropping to the ground like lice, then quickly crawled toward Lin Feng.

“Lice Gu?”

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, finally realizing that the person before him was another Gu poison master. All these insects were venomous Gu worms! If they touched him, they would immediately burrow into his body, paralyze him with toxins, then gnaw through his tendons and bones, devouring him bit by bit.

Faced with thousands upon thousands of Lice Gu, Lin Feng remained calm. He swiftly gathered all the energy in his dantian, recited an incantation, closed his eyes tightly—fire rises from the heart!

His palms gradually filled with true energy, transforming into two blazing balls of flame. The moment he opened his eyes, he slammed his fiery palms onto the ground.

Whoosh!

The flames instantly spread across the ground like fire dragons, opening their massive jaws and reducing the insects to ashes on the spot!

Within seconds, the thousands of venomous worms on the ground were incinerated by Lin Feng.

The man who had released the Lice Gu stared in disbelief, his eyes wide as he exclaimed, “Impossible! How could you break my Lice Gu?”

Lin Feng paid him no heed, continuing to unleash flames, conjuring fire dragons that he pressed against the ground again and again.

The man who released the Lice Gu was soon engulfed in flames, fleeing in panic. The venom technique he cultivated feared fire above all else!

Lin Feng gradually noticed that whenever the man dodged to a new spot, he immediately protected his navel—clearly, that was his fatal weakness!

A smirk appeared at the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth. With a swift turn of his hand, a Bagua diagram appeared in his palm. He shot forward like a sword, striking directly at his opponent’s death gate!

Rip!

A burst of black energy erupted at the scene. Lin Feng’s hand pierced straight through the man’s abdomen, instantly breaking his Lice Gu art.

The man’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Lin Feng, his body collapsing with a thunderous thud!

Lin Feng withdrew his hand, chuckling lightly. “You never expected this, did you? The Lin family’s Gu breaking technique is unmatched in this era. Your Gu skills are nothing but minor tricks in my eyes.”

Turning around, Lin Feng looked toward the masked man.

From the Gu master’s body, he had already deduced the masked man’s identity. He approached gradually, his voice cold. “Bai Tianjiao, you really went to great lengths to deal with me.”

“This man’s disciple was Master He, whom I killed. I gave you a chance to repent last time, but you didn’t cherish it at all.”

“In that case, tonight I’ll send you to the afterlife.”

“How could you possibly defeat the Gu Master? Lin Feng, stay away from me…”

The masked man was terrified, unable to believe Lin Feng’s strength had reached such heights!

Lin Feng strode forward disdainfully, fixing his gaze on the masked man. “Bai Tianjiao, are you still going to resist? The master you brought is dead by my hand.”

“Lin Feng, stop right there! If you come any closer, I’ll kill her on the spot!”

Suddenly, the masked man seized Su Qingxue’s throat, viciously threatening Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s brows tightened, a murderous gleam flashing in his eyes as he said darkly, “Do you think you can threaten me? Tonight I’ll make you pay with your life.”

Whoosh!

Lin Feng’s body moved like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Bai Tianjiao, tore off his mask, and seized his throat, lifting him into the air.

Bai Tianjiao’s face turned deathly pale as he struggled desperately, pleading, “Brother Lin, spare me, please let me go! I won’t dare again!”

“Do you think I’d believe you?”

Lin Feng replied coldly. Suddenly, his grip tightened. Blood oozed from Bai Tianjiao’s lips. After a few moments of painful struggle, Bai Tianjiao ceased breathing.

“Qingxue, are you alright?”

Lin Feng tossed Bai Tianjiao to the ground, then quickly rushed to Su Qingxue and rescued her.

But Su Qingxue was so weak she didn’t even have the strength to speak. Lin Feng examined her and discovered she had been poisoned by a Gu—specifically, a powerful Passion Gu.

This type of Gu could control her body. Once its poison flared, she would lose consciousness and become frenzied. Only by sharing a bed with a man could the poison be dispelled.

“Don’t worry, Qingxue. I won’t let anything happen to you. I’m taking you home right now.”

Lin Feng carried her in his arms, quickly leaving the abandoned ironworks and heading straight home.

As soon as they arrived, the Gu poison in Su Qingxue’s body erupted. She tugged at Lin Feng’s clothes desperately, her eyes filled with longing. “Lin Feng, hurry, please…”

“Qingxue, calm down. You’re being controlled by the Gu poison. Stay in control.”

Lin Feng tried his best to reason with her, then carried her into the bathroom. He gently undressed her, keeping his gaze averted, saying, “Qingxue, everything I’m about to do is to save your life. I hope you understand.”

With that, he carefully wiped her entire body with a towel, streams of water running down her neck.

Her fair, delicate skin appeared in Lin Feng’s mind. He vividly remembered everything he saw last time when he treated her injuries.

As he wiped her body, he could clearly feel every curve and contour. A burning desire rose within him uncontrollably.

Suppressing his impulses, he quickly finished cleaning her, wrapped her in a bath towel, and carried her back to the bedroom.

To dispel this Gu, her body had to be cleansed, then have true energy transmitted through all her meridians, paired with the Lin family’s Nine-Turn Golden Needle technique to completely detoxify her.

Though it would consume much of his true energy, Lin Feng had no time to worry about that now.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, gently placed his palms on Su Qingxue’s back, and began slowly channeling true energy into her.

As the energy flowed into her, a red lotus seemed to bloom between her brows. Her willowlike brows furrowed gently; her body began to react.

Sweat gradually beaded on Lin Feng’s forehead, his expression twisting in pain.

As he released true energy, he shaped it into needles, forming golden needles between his fingers that he used to pierce her body again and again.

The needles opened her meridians, her whole body relaxing as the golden needles swam within her like fish, entirely under Lin Feng’s control.

Unnoticed, the area where Lin Feng sat was soaked with sweat, his hands trembling violently.

As he finished the needle technique and poured the last of his true energy into her, Su Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes. A large pool of black blood sprayed from her mouth.

The black blood pooled on the ground, wisps of dark energy dispersing from it.

Her consciousness gradually returned. Turning around, she saw Lin Feng near collapse. Just as he was about to fall, she quickly grabbed his hand, held him in her arms, and asked, “Lin Feng, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”
