Chapter 56: Sneak Attack

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations

Lin Yan turned a deaf ear and quickly crawled out of the poisonous fog, pretending to be weak from coughing non-stop.

It was extremely noisy at the door. In the chaos, the people who had escaped did not look back and quickly left this troublesome place.

Lin Yan quickly escaped and found an empty corner. He quickly changed into his original clothes before pretending to walk to the entrance of Cave A2. He patted Zhang San, who had yet to run.

Zhang San heaved a sigh of relief. “Sir, are you alright?”

Lin Yan nodded. “Let’s go! ‘

The two of them walked out quickly. Only when they were completely far away did Lin Yan say, “It’s too chaotic here. I’m leaving. What about you?” Zhang San hesitated for a moment. “I still want to buy something.”

Lin Yan nodded. “Goodbye!’

After saying that, he turned around and separated from Zhang San, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He found another hidden place and changed into the third white wooden mask. Then, he found a wine shop and waited patiently.

Soon, the news of Poison Master Gan Yang swindling Spirit Crystals from Cave B2 spread throughout the Ghost Market. Even in the wine shop, there was a heated discussion.

About half an hour later, the person in the black and white mask walked past the cave with a group of people. The atmosphere was solemn.

“Even a Tough Realm cultivator couldn’t capture Poison Master Gan Yang?’ After waiting for a while, Lin Yan put down the drink in his hand and slowly walked towards the exit.

After paying the tax, he went to the beach outside the exit.

The Ghost Market was built by the river. One had to use bamboo rafts to enter and leave. At this moment, there were three bamboo rafts lined up on the mudflat. Each of them had a boatman, and there were two others waiting.

The two of them were chatting. When they saw Lin Yan walk over, they didn’t avoid him and continued talking.

“The one with the black and white mask is Hong Dingshan from the Hong family, right?”

“Looks like we didn’t catch Gan Yang and let him escape.”

“The Hong Clan has a reputation in the inner city. Now, they’ve been tricked by a Strength Realm Poison Master. Tsk tsk, they’ve lost a lot of face.’

‘You can’t say that. After all, Gan Yang is a guest elder of the City Lord Manor. I heard that the City Lord values him very much. ‘

“The more this is the case, the more the Hong family won’t let Gan Yang off. The City Lord won’t let him off either. I wonder what Gan Yang is thinking. He’s so stubborn.’

‘Who knows.”

After a while, three more people came. When six people were gathered, a boatman stood up and pushed the bamboo raft into the water.

The six of them boarded the bamboo raft.

The path to the exit was very smooth. Even without much control, the bamboo raft could drift down with the current.

Lin Yan sat upright and was resting quietly.

Suddenly, he smelled a sweet fragrance.

In the next moment, he felt a blood energy heat surge.

“Mm? It’s poisonous!’

Lin Yan’s heart was alarmed as his entire body tensed up. Could it be that Poison Master Gan Yang was on this bamboo raft?!

With a glance, the boatman rowed the oar from time to time. The other five people also went their own way.

Upon closer inspection, he immediately noticed that the boatman’s fingers were trembling rhythmically as he rowed. Some extremely fine powder floated out from his fingertips.

The underground light source was dim to begin with. If one did not look carefully, they would not notice it at all.

“Therefore, Poison Master Gan Yang didn’t escape at all! He killed a boatman and took over his identity as a boatman. He played a trick to escape the Hong family’s pursuit!’

Lin Yan instantly understood. He quietly reached into his waist and grabbed the sharp awl at his waist. He touched the head of the awl. Yes, it was sharpened.

After a while.

“You, what are you shaking for?” “I’m not shaking. You’re shaking.”

“I-I’m so dizzy…”

“Oh no! It’s poison!”

“F*ck!”

The few of them immediately reacted. They wanted to stand up, but they realized that their bodies were sore and weak. They could not use any strength at all. They twisted and fell.

Lin Yan took the opportunity to curse as well. Then, he fell sideways and pretended to be unconscious in the easiest posture to exert strength.

The boatman was Gan Yang. He was unhurriedly steering the oar, but his posture was clearly much more relaxed. He even hummed a small tune softly in satisfaction.

After docking the bamboo raft, Gan Yang put down the pole and took off his mask. He threw it aside and shook his head. Then, he took out the black wooden box from his waist and took out Spirit Crystals with an intoxicated expression.

“Spirit Crystals… It’s said that you can increase one’s aptitude and help one break through realms. I wonder if it’s true? Ahahahaha!”

After laughing crazily for a while, Gan Yang put away the Spirit Crystals and turned to look at the six unconscious people on the ship. A trace of pity flashed across his face. “I happen to lack a few sets of livers to concoct medicine. Don’t waste them…”

With a flick of his wrist, he took out a dagger and slowly walked forward. He stabbed a person’s chest and opened his stomach. He reached in and scooped it up.

Behind him, Lin Yan’s eyes turned cold. Now!

His blood energy instantly erupted, and the weapon suddenly shot out of his waist, turning into a poisonous dragon that pierced Gan Yang’s lower back!

It was as if he had stabbed into a sack. After a slight obstruction, the steel spike pierced Gan Yang’s waist without any obstruction until it sank into his body.

“Ahhh!’

Gan Yang screamed and reacted extremely quickly. He turned around and swung his dagger.

However, Lin Yan had already taken a step back. As he dodged the dagger, he suddenly kicked out, hitting Gan Yang’s abdomen and the sharp wound on Gan

Yang’s abdomen.

Gan Yang immediately flew back to the shore. Blood sprayed out from his waist. After he fell to the ground, it quickly spread into a large pool of blood. Lin Yan carefully jumped onto the shore and approached Gan Yang step by step.

Gan Yang struggled to get up. He held his abdomen and screamed angrily, ‘Who are you!!”

He could still move like this?

The vitality of a martial artist was indeed astonishing.

Lin Yan did not answer. He exerted strength from his waist and punched Gan Yang’s chest.

Gan Yang tried his best to swing the dagger to block him, but the wound on his abdomen was too serious. The dagger softened halfway. Lin Yan opened his fist and pressed Gan Yang’s arm. He raised his leg and kicked the wound on his abdomen again!

Gan Yang’s face instantly turned pale as he staggered. He could no longer hold on and fell backward.

“Despicable!”

He tried his best to push himself up, but the pulling of his abdomen almost made him lose his strength. His face was as pale as a corpse.

Lin Yan took the opportunity to approach him. He raised his foot and suddenly stepped on the sharp wound on Gan Yang’s abdomen again.

It was as if he had stepped on a balloon, and blood splattered everywhere.

Gan Yang’s entire face instantly turned from white to the color of pig liver. It was completely distorted and in extreme pain. Then, his entire body went limp and he could not move anymore.

“You, don’t be smug…”

Gan Yang, who was extremely weak, was in pain, but there was a hint of madness. “You, you’ve been poisoned by me. You’re dead too. I didn’t expect that I, Poison Master Gan Yang, would die with a nameless pawn like you.

Haha, haha..

Lin Yan was speechless for a moment and looked at him with pity.

When the dagger swung over just now, there was indeed a large amount of poisonous powder on his face. The smell was fainter and the toxicity was stronger.

Of course, the effect of blood energy recovery was also better. It replenished the blood energy he had consumed just now.

Gan Yang forced his eyes open, wanting to see the symptoms of Lin Yan’s tragic death. However, even after he lost his mind, Lin Yan still didn’t react.

On his deathbed, his eyes widened in despair and anger. “You, why aren’t you dead?!”

These words drained his last bit of strength. In the end, he died with endless unwillingness.

After confirming that he was dead, Lin Yan hurriedly went forward and kicked Gan Yang’s terrified and indignant face to the other side. Then, he carefully searched Gan Yang’s corpse.

The things he found were wrapped in black cloth. He carried Gan Yang’s corpse to the Netherworld River and threw it into the river.

The source of the Netherworld River was unknown, and the Ghost Market was only one of the river segments. Lin Yan kept looking at Gan Yang’s corpse as it gradually disappeared into the depths of the ground along the dark blue halo. Only then did he turn around to check on the five people on the bamboo raft.

“Since they’re all dead, I’ll have to offend them.

Zhang San had told him that there was no fork in the cave at the exit of the Ghost Market. It led directly to an abandoned temple in the Qifeng District, so no one led the way.

Lin Yan hurriedly searched the five of them up and down. After confirming that he did not miss anything, he lit a candle and left along the cave.

Inner city, Chengshou District, Hong family.

Hong Dingshan had already taken off the black and white mask on his face, revealing a face in his late twenties. At this moment, his cheeks were pale, and there was uncontrollable frustration between his brows.

Opposite him, one of the pillars of the current Hong family, and also his father, Hong Ye, took a sip of tea expressionlessly.

“So, not only is the Spirit Crystal gone, but the Poison Stone is also gone?”

Hong Dingshan’s body stiffened slightly. He lowered his head and bowed, not daring to answer.

“Trash!’

Hong Ye suddenly threw the teacup in his hand and smashed it into pieces on Hong Dingshan’s forehead. The tea soup splashed on Hong Dingshan’s face.

‘You can’t even handle such a small matter. You even got someone to pretend to be a boatman and escape under your nose? Think about your brother and look at you! How did I give birth to a piece of trash like you!”

Hong Dingshan’s body trembled.

After a long while, Hong Ye’s breathing calmed down.

“Are you sure that the poisonous stone was taken out bare-handed?”

Hong Dingshan answered carefully, “An assistant saw it. A person wearing a cat mask and a blue robe reached out and took the poisonous stone from the venom.”

Hong Ye knocked on the table. “Looks like this person has really developed the antidote for this mysterious poison. It’s very likely that he originally planned to accept the bounty, but he was interrupted by Gan Yang… Gan Yang, oh Gan

Yang, you deserve to die!’

Hong Dingshan gritted his teeth and said, “We later found out that there were a total of five people on Gan Yang’s ship. One was stabbed to death, and the remaining four were all poisoned to death at the entrance of the underground river. Gan Yang is already gone. ‘

“Five?” Hong Ye acutely sensed that something was wrong. ‘There are six people on a boat. Why are only five dead?’

Hong Dingshan hesitated slightly. “Perhaps Gan Yang couldn’t wait any longer. He only waited for five people before setting off?”

“In that case, he could’ve set off alone. He’s a lunatic and has nothing to fear!”

Hong Dingshan was speechless.

Hong Ye shook his head in disappointment. “We’ll investigate later. There are two things now. First, search the entire city for Poison Master Gan Yang. Spirit Crystals are a small matter, but face is a big deal! He must die for daring to make my Hong family suffer such a huge loss!’

Hong Dingshan stammered, “Isn’t Gan Yang a guest elder of the City Lord Manor?”

“Trash! There are many guest elders in the City Lord Manor. Moreover, the

Dingdeng Battle is so close. Our City Lord can’t even protect himself.”

Hong Dingshan lowered his head and said, ‘Yes.”

“Then, the second thing is to find the person who detoxified the poison! I don’t care if you’re coercing him or tempting him, or if you’re going to search every inch of the place, you must find him!

“This person will be the key to us entering the Guangchuan Mountains!’
