Chapter 184: The Power of the Poisonous Palm

Bang!!
While the hulking man was still preoccupied by that inexplicable sense of unease, the twelve companions sitting at the other two tables could no longer hold back. They suddenly kicked aside their tables and drew their swords, charging at the two young men who had stepped out of the tavern—although one of the targets was accompanied by two terrifyingly grotesque zombies, making the situation rather strange, their strength clearly only reached the level of “Fate.” The disparity in strength between the two sides was enormous! To prevent these two easy targets from escaping, the group finally acted without delay.

The sudden attack naturally took Xiao Bei by surprise!
“What are you doing?”
Despite being caught off guard, the skills he had honed during his hard training at the Mass Graveyard came into play instantly.
Before the swords could reach him, Xiao Bei spread his arms, dashed out of the tavern, and created distance from his attackers. His dark black gloves were quickly put on.
Roar! Roar!
At the same time, two indistinct growls sounded as the zombie puppets lunged out from both sides, wielding poisonous palms filled with a deadly black aura as they bravely charged at the group in the tavern.

From start to finish…
The young man in blue sitting quietly on the road outside the tavern did not intervene to save them. He simply watched the sudden attack and Xiao Bei’s response calmly, his expression remaining unchanged, showing great composure.

That young man in blue was Happy.
In fact, as soon as he arrived here, he had seen a cluster of red dots on the map. With three years of experience in the martial world from his past life, he naturally understood what those red dots meant, so he had been watching carefully since entering the tavern. But he didn’t tell Xiao Bei! He just observed quietly, letting Xiao Bei handle things on his own.

It turned out his judgment was correct. Although Xiao Bei had little experience in the martial world, his skills had improved significantly under Happy’s training, especially in combat experience and dealing with enemies. Facing such a sudden attack, he might not have been perfect, but he could easily protect himself.

Soon, under the cover of the two zombie puppets, Xiao Bei quickly activated his “Fate” realm’s defensive technique and reached the tenth level of his “Poisonous Palm” skill. He moved to the side and delivered a swift palm strike. With a whooshing sound, a giant black palm appeared in front of the nearest player, who was swept to the ground with a fierce roar.

Happy sat calmly on his jujube-red horse, a slight smile appearing on his face.
All those days of hard training had finally paid off!

The supreme palm technique, “Ten Thousand Poisons Palm,” excels through its fierce, ruthless, and unexpected moves. It seems that Xiao Bei has mastered nine-tenths of its essence. With the zombies’ resilient bodies and the devastating attacks of this palm technique, dealing with these ragtag crowd should be no problem.

Additionally!
If one is struck by the “Ten Thousand Poisons Palm” and fails to take antidote pills in time, their strength will continue to decline over time. As the injury worsens and the poison penetrates their bones, they will ultimately die from poisoning. In other words…
As long as someone doesn’t have antidotes and is wounded by Xiao Bei, their fate is sealed!

“Lao Qi!”
“Damn it! Kill him!”

When Hei Da Ge regained his senses, he rushed out of the tavern, but it was already too late to stop what was happening. Seeing his companion knocked unconscious by a single palm strike and unable to get up for a long time, he was filled with rage. He lunged at Xiao Bei, a dazzling pale purple blade flash appearing half a meter long as he swung downward like thunder at Xiao Bei, who was attacking another companion.

Whoosh!
A dark shadow pounced from the side like a ghost.

Hei Da Ge had been keeping an eye on the surroundings and naturally noticed the zombie’s interference. Gritting his teeth, he exerted even more force with his blade…

Bang!!!
It hit squarely.

The zombie puppet was struck like by lightning, flying several meters away as it landed hard on the ground. But Hei Da Ge wasn’t much better off. Although his full-force strike hit the zombie’s shoulder, the intense rebound force from the blade nearly knocked his weapon out of his hands.

Meanwhile, the zombie that was sent flying only suffered a faint wound. With a single step, it quickly returned and swung its foul-smelling black palm at him…

At that moment, Hei Da Ge was terrified beyond measure.

On the other side, relying on his experience fighting Xuanmiao-level zombies over the past few days, Xiao Bei brought the extreme darkness and evilness of the “Ten Thousand Poisons Palm” to its fullest potential. With just a few palm strikes, one person after another would scream as they were flung off the road.

In an instant, four people died in the tavern.

The rest were entangled by the impervious zombies, overwhelmed by their desperate fighting style and unable to defend themselves. By the time the sixth person fell, Hei Da Ge’s face was pale. A single opponent had left them all in a desperate situation. No wonder the other man on the road remained calm and unflustered—now they understood they had been like geese hunting ducks, only to have their eyes blinded by the ducks themselves! They had hit a wall!

“Dodge!”

Gritting his teeth and growling, Hei Da Ge turned and rushed back into the tavern, running away in another direction.

The others also abandoned their zombies and rushed away at top speed!
“Run?”
Xiao Bei was having fun fighting and wasn’t willing to end it like this.
But after just a few steps, Kai Xin called out to him, “Stop chasing.”
Only then did Xiao Bei stop, spat in the direction where Hei Da Ge and the others had fled, and turned with a smile, “Boss, how was my performance just now?” His face was red, and his chest heaved heavily, showing his excitement and pride.
“Not bad.”
Kai Xin dismounted and walked into the tavern, speaking in a reprimanding tone, “From now on, when you’re outside, be more careful and don’t be so careless… Luckily you turned around and came back. If they had attacked directly in the tavern, things would have been different.”
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Bei nodded.
Even with caution, it was hard to avoid getting hurt when enemies were so close, and in panic, things could go sideways.
“Be more careful next time. On this trip to Fox Cave, we might encounter more of this kind of situation, and the opponents will be stronger…” Kai Xin took the food brought by the waiter, his expression deepening, “With your current strength, you might be able to defend yourself against one or two experts, but more than that, and it’ll be dangerous.”
He paused, then looked at Xiao Bei, who wore an eager-to-learn expression, and said seriously, “There are many such experts near Fox Cave.”
“Boss, I definitely won’t embarrass you.”
“It doesn’t matter if I’m embarrassed. I’m worried you’ll lose your life.”
Kai Xin rolled his eyes at him, ignoring Xiao Bei’s flattery.
Xiao Bei acted nonchalant: “With the boss here, what am I afraid of? Tsk tsk! I really wish you could fly to Wuhu Fox Fairy Village right now and show those guys who always claim to be experts in Fox Cave what a real expert looks like!”
“Enough, stop being proud. Clean up the stuff outside; don’t waste it.”
“Oh, right.”
Xiao Bei then remembered that the bodies of the six players hadn’t been searched yet, so he rushed out of the tavern excitedly.
