The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 209

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.
