After Layla finished speaking, she quickly released her Inner Strength to counter the impact from the King of Poison.
Molly and Brady followed suit, but due to their weaker Inner Strength, they were struck by the force of the King of Poison, causing a stinging sensation on their skin.
“Marrow Devouring Powder?”
Molly’s face slightly changed.
“That’s right! This is my Marrow Devouring Powder, formulated from six highly toxic substances. After infection, your whole body will experience excruciating pain. After an hour, your bones will turn to dust!”
“By then, you will become a limp pile of flesh!”
Ayden smirked with great satisfaction.
“Block the acupoints!” Molly immediately shouted to Brady.
The two of them pressed their fingers together, forcefully striking their own acupoints.
At this moment, Layla took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket, the size of a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pill, and handed it directly to Molly.
“Inside is Suqing Powder, which can neutralize all poisons! Take it quickly!” Layla commanded loudly.
Molly didn’t hesitate. She opened the bottle and placed it under her nose, taking a deep breath, and then handed it to Brady, who also took a deep breath.
“You two kids have some skills. You know to seal the acupoints, which will slow down the toxins from reaching the heart. But my Marrow Devouring Powder doesn’t travel through blood vessels; it targets the bone marrow!”
“Suqing Powder can indeed neutralize all poisons, but it only works against insect toxins. It has no effect on plant toxins, and Marrow Devouring Powder contains not only insect toxins but also poison from the Blood-Choking Tree!”
Ayden’s explanation chilled Molly and the others to the bone.
This cunning old fox was not following the usual path. No wonder he was called the King of Poison!
It seemed they had underestimated him!
In this situation, Molly only had two choices: to leave quickly and find a way to detoxify before the poison took effect.
But if she left, leaving behind Layla and Brady, they would be no match for the King of Poison and Mark.
The King of Poison was likely to snatch the Bloodwort and disappear again, making it difficult to find him.
However, if they stayed and fought, their blood circulation would accelerate, and the poison would spread faster. They would die within half an hour at most!
“Ayden, you villain! Today, I will kill you!” Molly remembered the tragic scene of her parents’ death, and a raging fire burned in her heart as she charged forward with her sword.
She had been learning the Emerald Tide Sword style from her master for the past few years, and her swordsmanship was impeccable. Combined with her Inner Strength, she could unleash her full potential.
Seeing that Molly didn’t retreat, Brady gritted his teeth and followed, engaging in a fierce battle with Ayden.
“Mr. Powell, you were once a formidable figure. How could you stoop so low as to join forces with Ayden?”
“If you turn back now, I can let bygones be bygones!” Layla narrowed her eyes, a strong killing intent gleaming in them.
“Let bygones be bygones?” Mark burst into laughter, mocking disdainfully, “You, an Inner Strength Grandmaster, dare to say ‘let bygones be bygones’ to me?”
“They say Layla is arrogant, and today I see that it’s not an empty rumor. Unfortunately, you, this once-in-a-century medical and martial prodigy!”
After saying this, Mark’s figure flickered, and he launched a terrifying punch toward Layla’s ribs.
A cold light flashed in Layla’s eyes. She half-turned her body and swung her arm, landing a crisp hit on Mark’s fist.
The two of them left no room for compromise, engaging in various deadly moves in a relentless and ruthless manner, aiming to defeat each other as quickly as possible.
Mark’s stature was steady, striking with incredible speed and imposing power, his punches creating sonic booms.
Layla’s face turned red as she also exerted all her strength, breaking through Mark’s domineering punches.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The sound of fists colliding reverberated as the forceful winds of their clashes spread all around.
“Dong!”
With a muffled sound, Layla’s body suddenly flew backward, her face pale as paper, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
“In the end, not being a Grandmaster, the medicine is like a stimulant, unable to sustain for long!” Layla thought to herself in despair.
“Mr. Powell, you’re still too slow! I finished my side long ago!” Ayden shook his head, looking relaxed.
Layla looked up and realized that Molly and Brady were already on the ground, continuously coughing up blood.
“Ah! Even if they weren’t poisoned, they wouldn’t be a match for the King of Poison. Now that they’re affected by the Marrow Devouring Powder, they’re like lambs to the slaughter!” Layla sighed inwardly.
The outcome was set, and Layla couldn’t afford to hesitate anymore. She knew that if they continued to fight, they would undoubtedly die. She quickly got up, leaped over the high wall of the factory area, and ran away.
“Seek revenge for the George family? Overestimating your abilities!” The King of Poison looked at Molly and sneered.
“Do you want to know the scene before your mother’s death? She begged for a quick death on her knees, but why would I grant her that mercy?”
“It took three hours of torture before she finally died, and even in death, she was unrecognizable! Do you know why?”
“Because your father would rather let the entire family die than reveal a single word about the woman with the surname Noble!”
“You, the George family, are nothing but Adrianna’s faithful dogs. You should die!”
Ayden’s emaciated face twisted in a grotesque manner as he recalled the scene of torturing the eighteen members of the George family. A look of extreme madness appeared in his eyes.
There was no remorse or repentance, only enjoyment on his face.
“Beast! Old man, I will kill you! Kill!” Molly used her sword to prop herself up and lunged towards Ayden.
“Bang!”
A loud noise echoed.
Molly was shot out like a stone, crashing heavily into a wall five or six meters away and falling to the ground, unconscious.
“Miss George!” Brady saw Molly unconscious, his brain exploded with a loud bang. He angrily shouted at Ayden, “Ayden, if Miss George dies, the Spencer family will never let you go!”
“Wait and see, endless revenge awaits you!”
“Revenge?” Ayden dismissed it carelessly. “The Spencer family has been looking for me for ten years, but in the end, they were just staring blankly?”
“The revenge of the Spencer family is a joke to me!”
“This orphan of the George family should have died ten years ago. Today, I will finish what I didn’t do! Send her to reunite with her family!”
After speaking, he walked towards the unconscious Molly.
…
“Layla and them lost?!” Not far away, Rose watched everything in front of her, her brain exploding with a loud noise.
She had been working overtime today and discovered the presence of the King of Poison and his group when she locked the door and went downstairs. She dared not move, hiding at the corner without making a sound.
Now, seeing Layla defeated, she crouched down and tried to walk towards the factory gate.
“Someone else? Go and kill!” The King of Poison was about to step on Molly’s head when he suddenly sensed Rose’s presence and signaled to Mark.
“I’ll check it out!” Mark’s body trembled, his footsteps quick and continuous. In an instant, he could cover a distance of three meters, closing in on Rose.
“Oh no! I should have listened to Flynn and not come to work overtime!” Rose felt the approaching murderous intent, her hair standing on end, her mind going blank.
“Trying to run?” Mark swung his fist towards the back of Rose’s heart.
Just then, Rose saw a figure flash out, appearing out of thin air, and slapped Mark’s face.
“Bang!”
The sound of bones breaking echoed.
In a mist of blood, Mark turned into dozens of pieces, with his internal organs scattered all over the ground. A piece of his liver even landed on King of Poison, who was fifteen meters away!
