Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 573: Xu Ke!!

Poison Elder paid no heed to Han Wang's words, silently tossing out all the poisonous creatures in her hand.

Cultivator Qi flipped over to dodge, his face contorted with resentment. "You venomous woman, you're betraying us?"

The yellow poison hadn't fully taken effect yet, so he still had the strength to fight. At the same time, the True Qi inside him frantically sealed his wound to prevent the toxin from spreading further into his body.

"You were the ones who tried to kill us first," Poison Elder gritted through her teeth.

Simultaneously, she produced three venomous snakes from her body and injected them with her True Qi. The snakes' eyes snapped open, their heads rising to stare at Cultivator Qi. As they looked, their cold, vertical pupils glinted with greed. They twisted their bodies in a bizarre motion and shot toward him.

Countless spiders, centipedes, rats, and flying insects crawled out from every nook and cranny. The large boxes on the carriage didn't just contain the Ghost and Poison Elders, but countless poisonous creatures as well.

This was the gift they had prepared for Han Wang and his two companions!

The eyes of these creatures were blood-red as they charged straight for Cultivator Qi, completely ignoring Shi Hongda. Even as Cultivator Qi effortlessly stomped on and squashed them, they continued to swarm him ceaselessly. Their eyes were fixed on only one thing: Cultivator Qi's poison-laced wound. That was the delectable meal luring them in!

Watching from a distance, Bai Qian'er's face turned pale, and a chill ran down her spine. That's utterly terrifying!

Xu Ke took a deep breath. If I'd had the time and resources in Sui City, I would have fully perfected Poison Elder's venomous body. Now, all we can do is rely on her control over these poisonous creatures. Thankfully, Shi Hongda's half-hearted fighting drew Cultivator Qi's attention, allowing Poison Elder's vial to strike him squarely. This let the poison, which acted as a lure for the creatures, seep into his bloodstream. Otherwise, controlling the swarm would have been far more difficult, like trying to herd headless chickens.

Shi Hongda drew a sharp, silent breath as he watched the poisonous creatures bypass him and swarm toward Cultivator Qi. He knew they couldn't injure him, but it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid when faced with such a multitude of fierce and terrifying creatures.

As the target of the swarm, Cultivator Qi's eyes filled with despair. He blasted away a wave of insects and quickly retreated.

Poison Elder's true horror wasn't in an immediate strike. In a war of attrition, the combination of her venomous body and her countless creatures would allow an overwhelming tide of poison to completely corrode his body. At that point, he wouldn't even be able to burn his True Qi.

If no other experts had been involved, Cultivator Qi wouldn't have feared Poison Elder. What made the situation truly hopeless was that Shi Hongda was standing right in front of him.

"Shi Hongda, do it! Kill him!" Xu Ke roared. The poisonous creatures alone couldn't kill Cultivator Qi, and with Tang Yingchang pinned down by the frenzied Military Spike Assassin, he had to rely on Shi Hongda's cooperation.

"Give me the antidote!" To everyone's surprise, Shi Hongda decided to take advantage of the chaos, looking right at Xu Ke. He knew his own importance in this moment and decided to use it as leverage.

Xu Ke didn't waste any time. He threw a vial of antidote and snarled, "Take it later, dammit! If Cultivator Qi escapes, the Huang Family will suffer too!"

"I know!" Shi Hongda's face lit up with joy as he reached out to catch the vial. He hadn't expected Xu Ke to hand it over so easily.

CRACK!

But before he could grab it, Cultivator Qi lunged forward and shattered the vial with a single punch, his eyes burning with resentment as he stared at Shi Hongda.

"You son of a bitch…" Shi Hongda's face fell in devastation. My antidote!

"You're dying with me!" Unexpectedly, Cultivator Qi lunged forward and grabbed Shi Hongda in a tight embrace. A moment later, the True Qi in his body began to roil with explosive power.

He knew it himself. Shi Hongda would have undoubtedly attacked after getting the antidote. If he didn't burn his True Qi now and fight with everything he had, he would be crushed between Poison Elder and a serious Shi Hongda and die for nothing!

As he grappled with Shi Hongda, the poisonous creatures instantly began crawling up Shi Hongda's pant legs. Shi Hongda's expression changed drastically. From his expression, it was clear Cultivator Qi had been pushed to a dead end and was determined to take someone down with him.

Seeing this, Xu Ke felt a flicker of joy. If this guy could take out Shi Hongda, it wouldn't be a bad outcome at all.

"Wait for me! Don't do anything stupid!" Han Wang roared. He could see Cultivator Qi was about to burn his True Qi to take Shi Hongda down with him. But if Han Wang could just reach him, he could be saved. There was no need to resort to that.

Hearing this, Cultivator Qi froze. In that single moment of hesitation, the True Qi that had been about to ignite faltered. Seizing the opportunity, Shi Hongda roared, "Get off me!"

He sent Cultivator Qi flying with a powerful kick, then frantically began crushing the creatures that had swarmed his body. Even with his Protective True Qi, these creatures couldn't break through right away, but he was still terrified of bugs.

"STOP!" Han Wang roared, his eyes nearly splitting from rage as he surged forward. At the same time, a wave of regret washed over him. A few days ago, he wouldn't have wasted a single thought on the bombs the Ghost and Poison Elders used. Why would he? They couldn't hurt him! But now, he realized that very attitude was the root cause of his current predicament. He'd experienced their tactics before, but out of sheer arrogance, he hadn't paid any attention. He now understood that the Ghost and Poison Elders must have been lying in wait from the very beginning.

"Ghost Elder, stop him!" Xu Ke roared. They couldn't let Han Wang get close enough to rescue Cultivator Qi. Otherwise, with only Poison Elder and Shi Hongda, they wouldn't be able to stop Han Wang or kill his subordinate.

Ghost Elder shot out from the side, charging silently toward Han Wang.

"You damned old turtle!" Han Wang raged. "My ranged True Qi strike seriously injured you just two days ago, and you still dare to block my path?" The True Qi in his body erupted like a mountain flood. For his own sake, and for the Military Spike Assassin's, he could not allow Cultivator Qi to die!

But to his astonishment, when his furious palm strike landed, Ghost Elder merely turned pale and coughed up a bit of blood. He grunted a few times but actually managed to withstand the blow.

"You've recovered?" Han Wang stared in disbelief.

Without a word, Ghost Elder threw another punch.

Han Wang blocked it effortlessly, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "You're courting death!" His True Qi erupted once more.

"ROAR!!!"

But at that very moment, the Yin and Yang Elders arrived. Han Wang's attack faltered for a second time.

And in that instant…

CRACK!

Shi Hongda, having shaken off the last of the creatures, leaped into the air and slammed a palm directly onto Cultivator Qi's forehead. This time, Cultivator Qi's Protective True Qi was powerless to stop him.

Blood trickled from Cultivator Qi's forehead. He turned his head to look at the disbelieving Han Wang and the fiercely battling Military Spike Assassin, his face a mask of grief and fury. I'm so angry... So damn angry! I was going to burn my True Qi and take Shi Hongda with me. But Han Wang was so close, he was about to save me... so I hesitated. I knew that if I burned my True Qi, Han Wang's arrival would be meaningless. But then... then Ghost Elder appeared and stopped him. And just like that, I couldn't even take a single enemy with me. I'm walking the road to the underworld all alone…

He opened his mouth, as if to blame Han Wang, but in the end, no words came out. He collapsed to the ground.

THUD.

Dust billowed into the air.

Seeing this, Han Wang's face filled with despair. The next moment, he whipped his head around and roared, "XU KE!!!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Tang Yingchang's expression changed dramatically. This is bad...

Han Wang shot forward like an arrow from a bow, aimed straight at Xu Ke.
