Outside Of Time

Duanmu Zang let out a cold snort in his heart. He noticed Xu Qing’s gaze on the cloth in his right hand but didn’t explain. Instead, he glared at Xu Qing.

“Kid, you’re so heartless!”

“This old man has no intention of harming you. I even gave you a box to hide the aura of the heavenly fire crystals, but you gave me a fake antidote!”

Xu Qing frowned.

“However, seeing that you helped me out earlier, I won’t fuss over it.” Seeing Xu Qing frown, the old man’s tone hurriedly softened. After that, he lifted his hand and coughed.

“We’re all humans. Why don’t… you remove it for me?”

Xu Qing’s expression was as usual as he calmly spoke.

“10,000 spirit stones!”

The old man took a deep breath and glared at Xu Qing. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. He then threw out a storage bag. It was the same storage bag which Xu Qing had given to him previously.

After Xu Qing took it, he counted and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

Seeing that Xu Qing still wanted to count, the old man’s temper rose again. However, he still endured it.

“Is that okay?”

Xu Qing nodded. He then lifted his right hand and grabbed at the old man. Immediately, the old man’s body trembled and the power of the Poison Restriction in his body instantly surged. Amidst his pained expression, it crawled out of his body.

In the end, it transformed into a black fog that headed straight for Xu Qing. It fused into Xu Qing’s body and disappeared.

With the disappearance of the Poison Restriction, the old man clearly felt his body relax. The power of his cultivation surged and his recovery began to return to normal.

He heaved a long sigh of relief and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took a few steps back with an extremely vigilant expression.

The old man’s eyes widened.

“Kid, considering how powerful you are, why didn’t you attack during those first two times and instead had me step in?”

“I didn’t have the chance,” Xu Qing replied calmly, speaking the truth.
