Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 273 Killing

After seeing this situation, Xu Yao realized that Yue Lan was probably really determined to get serious with him.

If that's the case, then the best way for Xu Yao to leave now is to take action.

Although Xu Yao was no match for Yue Lan before, it was because he had someone to help him. If it were a one-on-one fight, he would have been much stronger.

Although Xu Yao cannot be said to have won, he can still resolve the matter using his poison.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao immediately took action and began fighting with Yue Lan.

During the fight, Xu Yao also seized the opportunity to try and poison her.

However, Yue Lan was truly formidable. Upon seeing that Xu Yao was about to poison her, she chuckled and said, "Hmph, is that all the petty tricks you have?"

"You still want to fight me? Xu Yao, do you really think you're that strong?"

"You're still too green to poison me, Yue Lan."

Xu Yao really didn't expect this guy to be so powerful, to be able to do it under such circumstances.

If he could be found out even though he poisoned himself, then Xu Yao really has a hard time saying what might happen next.

Xu Yao had originally wanted to escape, but now that he saw Yue Lan had arrived, why would he still want to escape?

Xu Yao then said, "Since you're so powerful, there's no point in fighting you."

"I have no grudge against you, so why are you coming to cause me trouble?" Xu Yao asked curiously.

At this moment, Yue Lan said to Xu Yao, "What do you mean by having no grudges or enemies? Do you know what my relationship with Feng Yuelan is?"

"I beg you, Sect Master Yue Lan, you need to tell me what your relationship is. How am I supposed to know what your relationship is if you don't tell me?"

"You won't even say anything now, and you're doing all this to us. Aren't you asking for this?" Xu Yao said.

Yue Lancai said, "Hmph, you brat, Feng Yuelan and I are sworn brothers."

"Then why have you been chasing me relentlessly? It seems you're here to avenge your sworn brother." Xu Yao finally understood.

Since Yue Lan and Feng Yuelan are sworn brothers, this matter is much easier to resolve.

It's understandable that someone would avenge their sworn brother.

Yue Lan then said to Xu Yao, "Although Feng Yuelan and I are sworn brothers, he is dead after all."

"I won't say I'm asking a living person to be buried with a dead person. Now you just need to agree to do me a favor."

“I can let you go, as long as you help me. Then we can consider our past relationship with Feng Yuelan wiped clean,” Yue Lan said.

At this moment, Xu Yaocai said to Yue Lan, "I was wondering what you wanted to do. Turns out you want me to do something for you."

"You should have said so earlier! I thought you were just being brotherly. You'd kill me if you did. Alright, tell me what it is," Xu Yao said.

Yue Lan then said to Xu Yao, "It's not a big deal, it's just one thing right now."

"Go and kill Han Yi."

“Okay, no problem!” Xu Yao agreed immediately.

"You agreed so readily, you're not trying to trick me, are you?" Yue Lan was bewildered by Xu Yao's quick agreement.

At this moment, Xu Yao said, "What you're saying is ridiculous. Since you want me to help you, let's make it a deal."

"Then I'll agree to it. Now that I've agreed, you still think it's not enough? Can you be more practical?"

"I'm not saying anything specific, but I feel that since you've already put it that way, let's not waste any more time."

“I’ll go kill this guy for you, and then we can just wipe the slate clean on Feng Yuelan, right?” Xu Yao said.

After hearing Xu Yao's words, Yue Lan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you have to take this poison first."

After saying that, Yue Lan took out a small bottle and handed it to Xu Yao, saying, "Take this poison, and I'll believe what you say."

"Otherwise, I would never have believed you, especially considering how readily you agreed."

"I'm not entirely convinced by what you're saying," Yue Lan said.

At this moment, Xu Yaocai smiled and said, "Alright, since you're worried, then I'll take the poison."

"But Sect Leader Yue Lan, I must make this clear first: I helped you, but if you don't give me the antidote and try to cause any other trouble..."

"This matter is not over yet," Xu Yao said.

After saying that, Xu Yao swallowed the poison directly, and Yue Lan saw that Xu Yao had swallowed the poison.

Only then did he nod in satisfaction: "That solves all the problems. Okay, go ahead."

"Anyway, I won't go into other matters, but since you've taken the poison, you only need to kill Han Yi within seven days."

“Then you’ve come to me, and I’ll have the antidote, so you won’t die from the poison,” Yue Lan said.

After swallowing the poison, Xu Yao returned directly to the Assassin's Guild.

Actually, it wasn't that Xu Yao was afraid of being threatened, but rather that he wasn't worried about the poison at all, something Yue Lan was completely unaware of.

Xu Yao already had connections with the Medicine Sect, so when it comes to obtaining poisons and antidotes, who can compare to the Medicine Sect?

To put it bluntly, Yue Lan actually dared to try to use such a tactic against him; Xu Yao wanted to laugh when he heard that.

If Xu Yao hadn't truly proven himself no match for Yue Lan this time, he would have already dealt with her long ago.

We can still give Yue Lan a chance.

Back at the Assassin's Guild, Xu Yao went straight to Han Yi and said, "Guild Master Han, I risked my life for you this time."

"What happened?" Han Yi asked curiously, "I got injured while saving you too."

“You are injured but not in mortal danger, but Yue Lan is forcing me to kill you and has even fed me poison.”

"If I don't kill you, then there will be no antidote for my poison," Xu Yao said with a chuckle.

"Brother Xu Yao, how can you still laugh even after all this? That old scoundrel Yue Lan is just that shameless," Han Yi said angrily.

Xu Yaocai laughed and said, "Have you forgotten who I am? Poison and such can't possibly stump me?"

"Alright, it's not a big problem. I'll handle things myself once I leave. You don't need to worry. I'll be able to force the poison out when the time comes," Xu Yao said.

Han Yi naturally knew Xu Yao's abilities, so when he heard Xu Yao say that, Han Yi was no longer worried.

Xu Yao left Han Yi's place and returned to his room, then began to activate the system in his mind.

"System, quickly force the poison out of my body, otherwise you won't have such a good host when the host dies."
