In that instant, Aksai stopped smiling.
Before anyone could notice the change, he activated his Qi Sense. His eyes widened as soon as he did.
Swoosh.
Something was coming. Aksai moved without hesitation. He rose from his seat in a blur and reached out toward empty air.
Clink.
His fingers closed around something solid. When he opened his hand slightly, he saw it.
It was a needle. It was so small and thin that it was almost invisible. If not for his instincts and Qi Sense, it would have pierced his skin without him ever knowing.
The needle's surface shimmered with a faint dark color. It was a third Order poison.
'What… What the hell? What kind of poison is this?'
Aksai's pupils shrank.
Golden Qi wrapped tightly around his hand, forming a protective layer. The poison did not touch his skin, but even so, he could see the golden Qi being eaten away, bit by bit, like metal dipped in acid.
