The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 209 No Cure

Chapter 209 No Cure

Hearing the words "Erosive Flower Toxin" Billy's heart skipped a beat. No wonder the toxicity was so potent – it was one of the Four Great Strange Poisons, the Erosive Flower Toxin!

His body had undergone lengthy alchemical treatments in the martial world, rendering him immune to ordinary poisons. He had been wondering why he was so easily poisoned, but now he realized it was due to the poison itself.

Taking a deep breath, Billy pulled out several silver needles and pricked himself again.

"It's useless!" the woman's voice continued coldly. "Once affected by the Erosive Flower Toxin, there's no cure. Even if Mr Gardner possesses a body immune to all poisons, it won't save you!"

"Moreover, you've activated your Chi twice in a row. If I'm not mistaken, you have at most a minute left before the toxicity reaches your heart. There's no salvation for you!"

"Billy..." Tears welled up uncontrollably in Harleen Knight's eyes as she looked at Billy, her face full of worry.

"Harleen, don't worry. I will be fine," Billy held her hand tightly, then turned his attention to the three individuals before him. "Your target is me. Let my wife go."

"I'm sorry, , but she can't leave until you're dead. But I can promise you that if you die, I'll spare her life." The woman said in a flat tone.

"So, if you want her to live, your best option is to end your own life."

"Billy, no!" Harleen cried out loudly.

"Don't hold out hope that the chubby guy from earlier will come to your rescue. Whether he can make it back is still uncertain." The woman continued, "We're well aware that he's a genius of Secret Essences, so we have specialists to deal with him!"

"It seems you've done your homework," Billy narrowed his eyes slightly. "I'm curious, though. How did people from the country of Tyren enter here?"

The woman was slightly taken aback. "Indeed, Commander Gardner is quite knowledgeable. You know we're from Tyren?"

"The Erosive Flower Toxin only exists in Tyren, aside from the Southern Edge. That's common knowledge." Billy replied casually. "And the people from the Southern Edge wouldn't have the audacity to come to kill me in Ozin, unless they wanted their tribe eradicated."

"Congratulations, Commander Gardner. You guessed right. We're indeed from Tyren." The woman said with a cold smile. "As for how we entered, you might not find out until your next life."

"Is that so?" Billy continued.

"With your limited abilities, you couldn't have breached the defenses of the western boundary, so it's either the eastern or southern boundary. The east district has been strengthening its defenses recently. If you had entered, I would have sensed something. Therefore, you must have come from the southern boundary. Am I wrong?"

"The answer doesn't matter anymore." The woman's gaze narrowed.

"Enough talking. If we delay any longer, those bothersome flies from Ozin will arrive."

"While I respect your character, Commander Gardener, it's unfortunate that you've offended the wrong people. I'm sorry, but we won't meet again in this lifetime."

The woman waved her hand and added, "Attack together. Make it quick!"

The other two nodded in unison.

The three of them launched another simultaneous assault, showing no intention of holding back this time. In the next moment, several projectiles appeared in the air, each accompanied by a burst of blade energy, hurtling toward Billy.

Boom!

Their attack was cut short halfway as a more ferocious surge of energy erupted from Billy's body. It spread out like high-pressure waves, shaking the surroundings.

In an instant, the air was filled with clumps of mist, and including the two men, everyone was turned into ash. The woman had sensed the danger and managed to escape the brunt of the attack. However, she was still blown back dozens of meters before crashing to the ground, blood spraying from her mouth. Lying on the ground, she looked at Billy with disbelief. "How could you still muster such formidable power?"

"You overestimated the toxicity of the Erosive Flower Toxin!" Billy took a deep breath and shuddered slightly. He then flicked his wrist, causing over a dozen silver needles to fly out of his body.

"Admittedly, at first, Erosive Flower Toxin did affect me. However, your long-windedness gave me enough time. If you had gone all out from the start, you might have had a chance today."

"Of course, only a chance!" Billy added.

"It's impossible! You couldn't have forced out the Erosive Flower Toxin. Even if you've reached the War Grandmaster later stage, it's impossible..." She seemed to realize something suddenly. Then, she looked shocked, "Could it be, you've broken through to the War Emperor realm?"

"What do you think?" Billy shrugged.

The woman sucked in a sharp breath and her face was filled with astonishment.

"You actually deceived everyone, making them believe that you were only at the later stage of the War Grandmaster realm. How ironic!"

"Hahaha..." Following that, she burst into laughter, and after a moment of hearty laughter, she continued, "However, it's not a tragedy to die by the famous Commander Gardner's hand. If I get the chance in the next life, I'd rather be your friend than your enemy."

Billy's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and three silver needles flew out from his hand. However, he was a fraction too slow. The woman's eyes narrowed, and she bit down on the poison in her mouth. Before long, a large amount of foam erupted from her mouth, her body convulsing a few times before falling still.

Billy spat out another mouthful of blood. Given his preexisting injuries, it was quite a strain to activate War Emperor-level power. While managing to suppress the effects of the Erosive Flower Toxin, forcing it all out in such a short time was unrealistic. Lingering traces of poison still made him uncomfortable.

"Are you okay, Billy? You're not hurt, are you?" Harleen hurriedly supported him, her tear-filled eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine, Harleen." Billy said as he gave her an assuring look. "Go home now, Harleen. I'll go check on Stout."

"Are you really okay?" Harleen still seemed worried.

"Yes. I'll call you later." Billy assured her before quickly dashing ahead.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

It had been a while since Stout left. Clearly, he encountered a formidable opponent. Anyone who could hold back Stout must possess at least at the true master level of a Warlord.

After running a distance, Billy pulled out his phone and dialed Judge's number.

"Boss," The phone rang, and the voice of the Judge came through.

"Pinpoint the location of my phone. Gather your men and encircle a ten-kilometer radius. There are two snipers. Find them!"

After speaking, Billy hung up and sped up once again.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed, and several nearby large trees were snapped in half and fell down.
