Chapter 560: 497 Emperor Ying Establishes His Authority, the Underworld Trembles, Lin Qingjia [2 more chapters] Chapter 560: 497 Emperor Ying Establishes His Authority, the Underworld Trembles, Lin Qingjia [2 more chapters] The young man still wore a cold smile on his face, ready to make his move.

The next second, his entire right arm turned black in an instant!

It was as if it had been scorched, but more terrible than burning.

“Crack crack.”

Like carbonized crystal, shattered on the ground.

Once it fell to the floor, it quickly turned into black dust, slowly dispersing.

Just like that, an arm was gone.

The young man didn’t even have time to be astonished before he felt excruciating pain.

“Ahh—-!!!”

A scream, piercing to the extreme, startled the entire S-rank Mercenary Group.

All the mercenaries rushed out, shocked by the scene before them.

The young man lay on the ground, writhing in agony.

Ying Zijin raised her head, “Do you want the same?”

A few hired soldiers trembled violently, shaking their heads desperately.

“My lord, please calm your anger,” the Head of the Mercenary Group knew the situation had escalated and offered an apology, “It wasn’t intentional on my brother’s part, please don’t take it to heart.”

“I have already prepared the Essence of Fire Source for you. I can give you half now, and for the remaining half, you can exchange it with Devil’s head,” he said.

“Negotiate terms with me?” Ying Zijin lifted her eyes slightly, and a low chuckle echoed from beneath her black robe, “I could easily kill all of you and take the Essence of Fire Source directly. Why should I confront Devil at all? Right?”

Devil had captured the top spot in his very first year in the business, so his strength couldn’t be weak.

But no one knew Devil’s true strength.

Because assassins value agility and surprise, not frontal assaults.

Assassins kill; finding the right point usually means killing with one strike.

An unknown top assassin versus a known S-rank Mercenary Group, the latter is of course more comfortable to deal with.

She was always lazy by nature.

The Head of the Mercenary Group opened his mouth, struggling to speak, “My lord, that’s a far-fetched–”
Before he could finish claiming ‘unreasonable,’ his expression changed drastically.

The girl raised her hand, as if a current flowed through the air, and a breeze came.

An invisible and odorless poison dispersed.

With almost no resistance, “Bang bang bang,” all members of the S-rank Mercenary Group fell to the ground.

The only mercenary left untouched, the Head of the Mercenary Group, looked at his comrades, blue-faced and struggling to breathe, and his legs went weak.

With a casual wave of her hand, nothing remained alive!

This was a group annihilation.

That was the most formidable aspect of a Poison Master.

And he knew the strength of his brothers well; none had been able to mount a defense.

The Number One Poison Master could only be the Number One Poison Master!

Ying Zijin straightened her sleeves, her voice cold and gender-neutral, devoid of warmth, “Now, do you still want to negotiate terms with me?”

The Head of the Mercenary Group’s teeth chattered as he knelt down quickly, knocking his head on the ground, his body trembling, “My lord, we were blind, we didn’t understand our place. It wasn’t on purpose, absolutely not!”

Ying Zijin glanced at him, “Who told you the Miss had hired a fake?”

She was well aware of the deterrent power of each major hunter ranking’s top contender.

Especially the Poison Master and the Hypnotist.

Even an S-rank Mercenary Group would not dare to provoke these top rankers.

“Don’t call me miss…” Rita raised her hand, intending to pat the girl before she remembered the scene before and quickly withdrew her hand, “I-I’m scared.”

Does she deserve to? No, she didn’t deserve.

Ying Zijin thought for a moment and pulled a lollipop from her sleeve, “Eat this.”

“Ah?”

“It’ll calm your nerves.”

Rita took the lemon-flavored lollipop in a daze, “Oh.”

Ying Zijin’s gaze returned to the Head of the Mercenary Group, “You have three seconds–”
She must use her Divine Calculation abilities less while in O continent.

After all, the name Diviner had made more enemies in O continent.

She wondered where the family that had made assassinating her a generational mission was now.

The Head of the Mercenary Group trembled even more violently, “Because you haven’t shown up for a long time, my brother who didn’t see clearly wanted to test the truth, it wasn’t anyone else!”

Ying Zijin indifferently counted down, “Three, two–”
“It was Evan Bevin!” At the moment of life and death, the Head of the Mercenary Group shouted, “He told us that Miss Rita had hired a phony.”

“My elder brother.” Rita frowned while biting on the lollipop, “He has always been close with the Taylor Family.”

“Hmm,” Ying Zijin nodded, “I’ll go get the Essence of Fire Source.”

The Essence of Fire Source, though not abundant, was not a rare material, as most people didn’t know how to use it, often just making it into a necklace to wear.

Before leaving, Ying Zijin tossed a vial, “They’ll recover in ten seconds.”

“Thank you, thank you, my lord,” the Head of the Mercenary Group shakily received the antidote, beginning to administer it to the mercenaries.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Number One Poison Master seemed to have a good temper, unlike other hunters who would kill innocently.

The Underworld had one thing in common with the Ancient Martial World: there were no rules, it all came down to fists and strength.

Many people recognized Rita and had learned from the NOK forum that she had hired the Number One Poison Master.

No one dared to approach them as they just watched the two of them walk out.

Ying Zijin weighed the fire-source essence, which was the size of a rock, in her hand and pondered for a moment, “What a pity.”

Rita finally let out the breath she was holding, “Pity about what?”

“Materials for making poison are hard to find,” Ying Zijin spoke slowly, “It’s such a waste.”

Moreover, a lot of the materials needed to create top-tier poisons were destroyed by her before she last left Earth.

She didn’t know where the rumor came from, the one that said those who are poison masters must carry poison in their bodies.

At least, she didn’t.

Of course, there were those poison masters who tested poisons on themselves and had toxic substances in every part of their bodies.

There were also poison masters who concealed deadly spiders, centipedes, snakes, and other venomous creatures on their persons.

They were neither human nor ghost.

Too ugly.

She didn’t like it one bit.

“Yes,” Rita hesitated, “Those materials really are hard to find. I’ve posted a bounty on the NOK forum for you, but it’s just that one. It’s a waste to use them on those people, you shouldn’t have used the poison.”

Without materials, poison couldn’t be conjured out of thin air.

With her presence, those mercenaries didn’t dare confront the Bevin Family.

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes slightly, “To establish power, to lure the snake out of its hole.”

It was only then Rita remembered the impostor she had found last time, “I’ve checked here, found nothing. You’re from Hua Country, could it be someone from the Ancient medical field there?”

Ying Zijin shook her head, “The likelihood is small, a seventy percent chance it’s not.”

“Alright, I will keep looking.” Rita sneered coldly, “They tricked me and even impersonated you, I can’t let this go.”

She picked up her phone and started tapping the screen, “Beauty, the lollipop is so delicious, what brand is it? I want to buy a few boxes.”

“…”

**
In just one night, what happened in the Underworld spread throughout the NOK forum.

The posts floated all over the entire hidden section.

The last time there was such a spectacle was when an account named Diviner appeared on the forum.

[Damn, it’s really the Number One Poison Master.]
[I happened to be buying weapons in the Underworld that day, I saw it with my own eyes, scared the piss out of me.]
[Any photos? Any photos? Is this big shot male or female?]
[Didn’t dare to take pictures, wore a black Arabian robe, couldn’t tell.]
[Waved a hand and wiped out an S-class Mercenary Group, @EatAPill, big shot, you can’t do this.]
[@EatAPill]: Reflecting, being introverted, resting while watching pretty girls, please do not disturb.

The Bevin Family naturally received the news very quickly.

Evan’s expression turned cold, his voice somber, “The Number One Poison Master, was she really found by that young girl?”

Why should Rita?

“Big brother, what do we do now?” Yiwen was extremely anxious, “There isn’t a poison in this world that the Number One Poison Master can’t cure.”

When it came to researching poisons, of course, the poison masters were the strongest.

“So because Rita invited her, will she get all the credit in the end?” Evan sneered, “Let’s go, we should first go to meet Uncle Taylor.”

This time, coming to the O continent, following the Head of Taylor Family, besides Lin Qingjia and the Ancient Divine Doctor, there were also two medicine boys.

The group arrived at Bevin Castle, and stepped out of the car.

Lin Qingjia looked up, surveying the surrounding environment with increasing interest.

She had been to the O continent before, but only to the Alchemy world, and hadn’t toured outside it.

“Nephew Evan, let me introduce you,” the middle-aged man spoke, “This is Miss Lin Qingjia.”

Evan looked over and a flash of admiration appeared in his eyes, “Miss Lin, hello.”

Lin Qingjia nodded slightly and shook his hand, “Hello.”

“This is the Ancient Divine Doctor,” the middle-aged man continued, “He is Miss Lin’s grandmaster uncle, also highly skilled in medicine.”

Evan showed great respect, “Ancient Divine Doctor.”

The Ancient Divine Doctor was an elderly man with white hair and beard.

He ignored Evan and merely said, “Qingjia, let’s go inside.”

Evan’s face turned blue.

“Nephew Evan, don’t be angry,” the middle-aged man shook his head, “This Ancient Divine Doctor has a peculiar temperament. He is here because of Miss Lin.”

Evan had to swallow his anger and followed them inside.

After they entered, two more people were in the hall.

One of them was Rita, the other wore a black robe and their gender was indiscernible.

Recalling the posts on the NOK forum, Evan’s complexion changed and his legs trembled.

The Number One Poison Master had actually come.

“You’ve arrived too?” Rita raised her head, “Let’s go see my father’s illness together.”

She was actually quite eager to see just how powerful Ancient Medicine was.

Before Evan could speak, the Ancient Divine Doctor glanced at the girl shrouded in a black robe and suddenly sneered, “What, do you think with me here it’s not enough, and you need someone else for treatment?”

“To invite me here and not show respect, Qingjia, let’s leave!”
