The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 406 Poison Smoke

Faced with the sudden arrival of this group of mysterious people, the atmosphere in the Black Wind Valley became increasingly tense, as if the air had solidified.

The Khitan princess's face darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. She rode on her horse and shouted loudly: "Humph, you guys who don't know how to live or die, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me? Do you really think that I, the Khitan people, am easy to bully? Come on, take them down for me and see what they are capable of!"

The Khitan knights received the order, grasped their weapons, and rushed towards the mysterious people. For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the two sides immediately started fighting.

Bai Zixuan, Su Yiyun and Li Qingqing stood aside with frowns on their faces. They were all injured and exhausted, yet they were caught up in this new chaotic situation.

Su Yiyun whispered, "What should we do? I thought the old man could help us resolve the dispute with the Khitan princess, but I didn't expect this group of Cheng Yaojin to show up again. The situation is getting more and more complicated."

Bai Zixuan looked at the two sides fighting fiercely, pondered for a moment and said: "Don't worry, let's see how the situation develops. With these two sides fighting, maybe we can find a chance to take back the Lingxian Grass and quickly leave this dangerous place."

Li Qingqing nodded. She held the sword tightly in her hand and watched the movements in the field vigilantly.

Although the number of those mysterious people was not as large as that of the Khitan knights, they were all highly skilled in martial arts, and their moves were fierce and strange, and there seemed to be a gloomy aura when they attacked. The Khitan knights could not gain any advantage for a while, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Seeing that the Khitans were so difficult to deal with, the mysterious leader's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He suddenly took out a small black bottle from his arms and threw it towards the Khitan crowd. After the bottle hit the ground, it instantly broke, and a black smoke spread out.

"Oh no! It's poisonous smoke!" someone exclaimed.

The Khitan knights were enveloped by the poisonous smoke and began to cough. Many of them began to feel dizzy and their fighting power was greatly reduced. Seeing this, the Khitan princess was shocked. She quickly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and shouted loudly: "Retreat quickly, be careful of this poisonous smoke!"

However, it was too late. Many Khitan knights fell to the ground under the invasion of poisonous smoke.

Seeing this, the mysterious man laughed out loud: "Khitan people, with just this little ability, you still want to snatch the Lingxiancao from us, you are simply overestimating your own abilities!"

After saying that, he led the group of mysterious people towards the place where the Lingxian Grass was placed.

Bai Zixuan and the others were extremely anxious when they saw this scene. Su Yiyun gritted his teeth and said, "No, we can't let them take the Lingxian Grass away. We have to stop them!"

Bai Zixuan nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Regardless of their injuries, the three men rushed towards the mysterious man.

The mysterious man saw Bai Zixuan and the others rushing over and sneered disdainfully: "Humph, you little shrimps from the Central Plains want to join in the fun, so let's get rid of them together!"

After saying that, he flashed and attacked Bai Zixuan first. His moves were extremely tricky, and each one was aimed at Bai Zixuan's vital parts. Bai Zixuan did not dare to neglect it, and quickly drew his sword to meet the enemy, and the two of them fought together in an instant.

Su Yiyun and Li Qingqing also approached other mysterious people and started a fierce fight. Although Su Yiyun was seriously injured, he relied on his tenacious perseverance and excellent swordsmanship to deal with the enemy. The same was true for Li Qingqing. She was light and agile in swordsmanship. She cleverly dodged the attacks of the mysterious people and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

However, the strength of this group of mysterious people should not be underestimated. Bai Zixuan and others gradually became exhausted. The wounds on their bodies began to bleed again due to the intense exercise, and their physical strength was also rapidly consumed.

At this moment, the gray-robed old man who had been standing aside suddenly moved. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he rushed into the battle group in an instant. He waved his hands lightly, and a gentle internal force emanated. The poisonous smoke in the air quickly dissipated as if it was driven away by an invisible big hand.

When the Khitan princess saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She shouted loudly: "Thank you for your help, old man. Please help us repel these hateful guys and take back the Lingxian Grass!"

The grey-robed old man did not respond to her, but focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him. His moves seemed slow, but each move contained a powerful internal force. As long as the mysterious man was touched by his moves, he would be shocked and retreated repeatedly.

With the participation of the grey-robed old man, the situation gradually changed. The mysterious people began to feel overwhelmed, as they had not expected that this old man who suddenly showed up would be so powerful.

The mysterious leader was secretly shocked. He knew that if they continued like this, not only would they not be able to get the Lingxian Grass, but they would also be wiped out. So, he took advantage of the chaos and quietly approached the Lingxian Grass, wanting to take the opportunity to steal the Lingxian Grass and slip away.

But his little move did not escape the eyes of the gray-robed old man. The old man snorted coldly: "Humph, it's not that easy to steal things under my nose!"

After saying that, he flashed and instantly appeared in front of the mysterious man in the lead, blocking his way.

"You... who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?" the mysterious man in the lead asked in horror.

The grey-robed old man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you don't even think about taking this immortal spirit grass away today. People who do evil will eventually be punished."

After that, the old man stopped talking nonsense with him and attacked directly. The mysterious man in the lead fought hard, but in front of the old man's powerful strength, he was as weak as an ant and was knocked to the ground by the old man in a few moves.

When the other mysterious people saw their leader being knocked down, they panicked and wanted to escape. But at this time, the Khitans and Bai Zixuan had stabilized their positions. How could they let these mysterious people escape so easily? So, everyone worked together to capture all these mysterious people.

The melee finally subsided, and some peace returned to the Black Wind Valley.

The Khitan princess looked at the gray-robed old man with gratitude in her eyes. She stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Thank you for your help today. If it weren't for you, I would not only lose the Lingxian Grass, but also cause heavy losses to my Khitan knights. Please tell me your name, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

The grey-robed old man waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. I just can't stand this kind of bullying and snatching of treasures. This Lingxian grass may be a sacred object to you, but to the abbot of Shaolin in the Central Plains, it is a life-saving item. I hope Your Highness can help them take the Lingxian grass away."
