54 Chapter 54: Queen's Poison
"You're not weak, but unfortunately, your combat experience is too poor, far worse than that kid."
The middle-aged man seemed to have finally found confidence.
After all, he was an 8 Star Dou Practitioner, how could he be forced into such a sorry state by a 5 Star Dou Practitioner?
It wasn't that his strength had regressed, but that kid was just too abnormal!
"Release Xiao Yu! Daring to kidnap students from Jia Nan Academy, aren't you afraid of being hunted by the Academy?"
With blood at the corner of his mouth, Ke Lin stood up, a pair of angry eyes staring fiercely at the opponent.
"Humph, if it weren't for worrying about that kid, I would definitely kill all of you today. If the news doesn't get out, who would know it was us?"
The middle-aged man sneered disdainfully. The Black-Corner Region is known for its chaos, and it's not yet Jia Nan Academy's turn to dominate.
Glancing at Ke Lin, who was rushing again, the middle-aged man once again unleashed the Blood Poison Palm.
Bang!
Gathering his entire body's Dou Qi, Ke Lin clashed palms with him.
The middle-aged man took three steps back, while Ke Lin withdrew ten steps.
After stabilizing his figure, Ke Lin didn't stop and was about to mobilize Dou Qi when he suddenly saw a hint of dark red spreading under his skin, extending from his arm to his shoulder.
"Blood poison? Are you from the Blood Sect?" Ke Lin's pupils contracted, and a sense of dread arose in his heart.
"Not afraid of death? Come if you dare."
Noticing this, the middle-aged man showed no surprise. Looking at Ke Lin's unpleasant expression, he slowly retreated, his figure gradually disappearing into the Winter Sunflower.
Buzz!
At this moment, the buzzing sound of the red bee's wings suddenly intensified.
"Not good, that kid actually broke free." Hearing the commotion, the middle-aged man immediately understood what was happening, and his face changed abruptly
...
Just a few minutes ago.
Seeing Lin Xiu making a move against the Red Bee Queen, the middle-aged man rushed out explosively.
Instead of targeting Lin Xiu, he aimed at several pillars beneath the Red Bee nest.
With turbulent Dou Qi, the middle-aged man kicked all the pillars, then turned and ran.
Without the support of the pillars, the nest collapsed, startling the Red Bee Queen, which had been frightened by the thunder.
It dodged the sword thrust from Lin Xiu and emitted a sharp sound from its mouth.
The Red Bees that were originally scattered on the outskirts of Winter Sun Valley, collecting nectar, stopped their actions and uniformly looked towards the direction of the nest. Then, they flew back with all their might.
"Damn it! It's him again!" When the middle-aged man appeared, Lin Xiu immediately recognized him.
Now, seeing his attack fail, Lin Xiu's anger surged, but he did not give up.
With a light tap on the ground, Lin Xiu's speed increased dramatically, constantly closing the distance between himself and the Red Bee Queen.
Red Bees around him attacked Lin Xiu, and he used his right hand with the sword to block, directly using his left hand to resist when facing Red Bees he couldn't fend off.
The sword light shimmered in the Winter Sunflower, and large sections of Red Bees' heads and bodies separated, falling to the ground.
The Red Bee Queen continued to screech from its mouth, its figure resembling a red lightning bolt, disappearing within the swarm of Red Bees, searching for an opportunity to attack.
Its tail, the bee stinger, gradually turned red, resembling a dazzling ruby needle.
After circling a few times, it saw Lin Xiu's long sword slipping from his hand, and it quickly rushed over.
"You finally decided to come? Haha, you've fallen into the trap!"
Facing the approaching stinger of the Red Bee Queen, Lin Xiu's face showed no signs of panic.
"Constitution, boost!" In this instant, Lin Xiu directly increased his Constitution to 30 points, leaving him with only 8 Attribute Points.
Fatigue vanished from his body, and his heart pounded violently in his chest, unleashing a formidable power gradually.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deep sounds even overshadowed the buzzing of Red Bees' wings around him.
With each heartbeat, Lin Xiu distinctly felt an increase in his own strength.
!
Lifting his left hand, allowing the Red Bee Queen's stinger to pierce it, Lin Xiu could sense a hot, scorching power surging into his arm, but he paid it no heed.
"Thundering Palm!"
Staring at the Red Bee Queen right in front of him, a cold smile blossomed on Lin Xiu's lips. His most powerful move was never the sword but the palm!
The palm carried thunder, with lightning flashing, and the surrounding Red Bees seemed to be stunned, silent.
The palm covered the Red Bee Queen's body.
Bang!
Although the Red Bee Queen was a Second Rank Magic Beast, compared to the Water Tiger Beast with its tough skin and thick flesh, it was still too fragile.
Thunderous power erupted, and the Red Bee Queen's head was directly blown apart, blood splattering.
Lin Xiu reached directly into the Red Bee Queen's severed hindquarters, grabbing a hard object from inside and pulling it out.
It was a 28-centimeter-long, thumb-thick bee stinger.
With the item in hand, Lin Xiu stored it back in the Spatial Ring and picked up the sword he had dropped on the ground.
At this moment, Lin Xiu was surprised to find that the surrounding Red Bees were no longer attacking him. They seemed to consider him as their Red Bee Queen and encircled him.
"Interesting." Lin Xiu glanced at his left arm, where there was a thumb-sized hole on the swollen arm, left by the Red Bee Queen's stinger earlier.
Now, black liquid was continuously flowing out of it, emitting an unpleasant odor.
"They say that the Queen's poison is very dangerous and it would be very uncomfortable to be pierced by it. Why don't I feel anything?"
Lin Xiu was somewhat puzzled. After taking a blow from the middle-aged man earlier, his arm had remained in a cold state. However, after being stung by the Bee Queen, the chill disappeared, and it became warm.
"Could it be that the Queen's poison helped me neutralize the blood poison?"
A bold thought flashed in his mind. Lin Xiu felt that his situation was very much in line with this idea. "If I remember correctly, the Fire Dou Qi is very effective against the Blood Sect's Qi Method and Dou Qi, and the Red Bee belongs to the Fire Attribute Magic Beast. It seems quite normal that its poison can counteract the blood poison."
After all, the middle-aged man's blood poison wasn't pure, as if someone else had injected it into his body.
As a Second Rank Magic Beast, the Red Bee Queen's poison definitely had some substance. At least, compared to the middle-aged man, who was still a Dou Practitioner, its poison seemed more formidable.
"Never mind, I won't think about these things for now. To reciprocate is only proper, and revenge delayed is revenge denied. Even a minute later is a loss. I'll go settle the score with him!"
Ignoring the red bees, Lin Xiu chased after the direction the middle-aged man had left.
Winter Sunflowers were lush, and walking inside, the buzzing sound of red bees echoed continuously in his ears.
Lin Xiu's advantage in tracking was greatly diminished. The originally advantageous five senses now seemed somewhat useless at this moment.
Listening to those buzzing sounds, Lin Xiu felt like his head was about to explode, more annoying than hearing an alarm clock in the morning.
Unfortunately, Lin Xiu couldn't shut it off. There were too many red bees for him to kill them all in a short time.
Just at that moment, Lin Xiu suddenly stopped. "It sounds like someone is talking? Why do I hear Xiao Yu's name? How could that woman be here?"
Hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiu rushed towards that direction.
Dou Qi reverberated within him, and it seemed as if a gust of wind appeared beneath Lin Xiu's feet, causing him to float on the surface of the Winter Sunflowers.
A large group of red bees followed behind Lin Xiu, resembling a dark red cloud.
Soon, Lin Xiu spotted a familiar figure.
The middle-aged man also noticed Lin Xiu, who was accompanied by a swarm of red bees, charging towards him. He had no intention of confronting Lin Xiu and turned around to flee.
With so many red bees, once surrounded, there was no way he could escape unscathed. He couldn't afford to engage with Lin Xiu!
Unable to comprehend how Lin Xiu could lead so many red bees, the middle-aged man currently had no fighting spirit left.
"Thinking of running? Did you get my permission, old man!"
Lin Xiu casually grabbed a red bee from his side, and with a firm grip, the bee exploded. He held onto a bee stinger, projecting it towards the back of the middle-aged man.
Swish!
The air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The middle-aged man had no choice but to dodge to the side, and the distance between the two was immediately shortened.
