Chapter 778 - 778 Falling into Madness

778 Falling into Madness

President Tan could feel his hands growing numb as his chest squeezed in panic. His eyes were fixated on the young girl, waiting in bated breath. It was as if the world had stopped before him.

“Be careful!”

Even Tan Jian appeared anxious.

Hearing their reminder, Elder Nie smirked.

The way he had spat out the hidden weapon that quickly, he knew that no one else would be able to avoid it. At such a close distance, even if the girl wouldn’t die, she’d definitely be injured! .

President Tan gritted his teeth anxiously.

He had just awakened his spiritual power. As such, he didn’t really have a hold over it yet. As Yao Tang didn’t expect the weapon, she surely wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Everyone watched as the hidden blade flew toward her.

Then it hit!

Elder Nie burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. There was a sense of madness in his movements as a wide grin spread across his face.

She even said that she wanted to kill him!

He didn’t care whether or not he’d die today. The only thing he was happy about was seeing Yao Tang die in his arms. It seemed that his efforts weren’t in vain.

Eliminating the strong genius from the Inner Pavilion was equivalent to eliminating a strong enemy for the Green Cloud Pavilion! His eyes flashed greedily.

“Well?” he demanded. “Didn’t you say that you want to kill me? I’d like to see you try.”

Who would’ve thought?

The person who had threatened his life was now going to die right before his eyes. The hidden weapon was a direct hit. He grinned. It seemed that he really wasn’t going to die today.

it was really satisfying.

“You do need to work on your skills.”

A faint voice echoed from his side. There was no struggle in her words.

He stopped laughing. “What did you say?”

He turned to Yao Tang who was still standing. She dusted off her pants as if it were no big deal.

Why was she still there?

“Even a five-year-old would be faster than you.”

She scoffed.

Elder Nie was stunned on the spot. Could it be that his weapon didn’t pose much of a threat?

As he thought of this, he stared at Yao Tang.

Only after taking a closer look did he realize that she was actually holding the blade!

It turned out that he wasn’t even able to stab her! She had caught the blade just in time.

How?

He felt a pang in his heart. Perhaps the heavens truly did want him dead.

But then, something caught his eye.

Only upon narrowing his eyes did he realize that the blade actually nicked her skin!

Contact!

On the other side of the field, President Tan gazed at the way Yao Tang held the blade in her hands. His heart finally felt at ease as he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she wasn’t injured.

He really was going to be scared to death at this point.

“You’re fine, you’re fine.”

Tan Jian also heaved a sigh of relief.

Who would’ve thought that the girl would be able to catch it? Elder Nie shook his head in disbelief, seeing the way the blade no rest in between her fingers.

She truly was strong.

Not only did her energy match those belonging to the high council, but her martial strength was also top-notch! He only knew a number of people who would’ve been able to do what she had just done.

But she was still so young.

If she was allowed to grow, then perhaps she’d be able to surpass their very own genius then. However, that wasn’t her fate today. Today, she’d die.

But then, Elder Nie burst into laughter once more. He pointed at the cut in her fingers. “Oh,” he grinned. “You don’t know! You don’t know!”

He looked like he had gone crazy!

President Tan had a bad feeling in his heart.

He glanced over at his student.

Elder Nie smirked.

“That blade contains a potent poison, strong enough to kill an elephant. Once you’ve cut yourself, the poison would course through your blood, eroding your internal organs.”

“At that time, your internal organs would melt inside you, and the process? Oh, you don’t even want to think about it!”

The corners of his lips curled up. “Yao Tang, Yao Tang,” he sneered. “Even if you weren’t killed now, you would simply drop dead later on. You might as well wish you were killed much earlier.” He laughed and laughed, clutching his stomach.

Thinking of Yao Tang’s pained face was enough to get him drunk on madness.
