"I happen to be thirsty." Ma Tiya took the cup from Hong Gu's hand.

Hong Gu immediately nodded her head: "I did put in some tea leaves."

Ma Tiya looked at the transparent cup of water in his heart and felt a little suspicious. However, when he thought about whether it was Hong Gu who poured it for him, he still drank it all in one gulp.

"Yes, yes?" Hong Gu's words were a bit hesitant, "Then, then I'll thank you first." As she spoke, Hong Gu retreated a few steps.

"Hong, what happened to you?" Ma Tiya was a little doubtful. Then, he suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, as if something had sucked up all the water. He grabbed the white porcelain pot on the table and poured himself a cup of water.

He drained his glass again. However, the dry and astringent feeling in his throat did not alleviate. Instead, it became more and more serious.

Ma Tiya finally realised that there was something wrong with the water.

He stood up abruptly and smashed the pot on the ground. The moment the tea in the pot fell to the ground, countless tiny bubbles began to form.

"The water is poisonous, the water is poisonous." Ma Tiya said anxiously. Poison and detoxification were not his forte, but some of his colleagues were.

Purple energy, which could not be seen by the naked eye, wrapped around Ma Tiya's body and controlled all of his internal organs, especially his stomach — Ma Tiya was using this method to slow down the spread of the poison and increase the time needed to detoxify his poison when he returned to the workshop. But he did not forget one thing.

"Red," he looked at Hong Gu with concern, "Have you drank the water here?" He was still worried that Hong Gu had unfortunately drunk poisonous water.

Hong Gu shook her head as she retreated to the wall. She beat her hand rhythmically against the wall.

"What are you doing?" Ma Tiya's face revealed an expression of disbelief, he roared at Hong Gu: "What are you doing, Red!"

Hong Gu did not speak. She bit her lower lip and two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.

Bang. The door was smashed open, and a group of black-clothed men rushed in.

"Who are you people?" Ma Tiya stared at the man in black who barged in, his eyeballs turning red from blood loss.

Amongst the black-clothed men, a blue-robed Taoist with a goatee walked out.

"Did you poison me?" Ma Tiya said with a fierce expression.

The goatee lightly shook his head. "Why would I do such a despicable thing?"

"It's you!" Ma Tiya bellowed at the goatee, purple energy gathered in his hands, "It must be you!"

"Have you not guessed who it is?" "You just don't want to admit it."

Ma Tiya slowly tilted his head towards Hong Gu.

Hong Gu still did not speak, but there were a few black-clothed men standing behind her.

"Let her go!" Ma Tiya said loudly, at the same time, the purple energy in his hand condensed into the shape of a European knight's spear. The rate at which the energy condensed was much slower, as it had slowed down the circulation speed of the blood in order to delay the onset of the poison. At the same time, his control over the energy of his spells decreased.

"There's no need for her to run," the Goatee laughed. "She is already a member of our dragoncloud."

"What dragoncloud? Ma Tiya had never heard of that before." I am a wizard from the Black Tower. " Ma Tiya gritted his teeth and said, "You've angered me!"

"The one we're going to kill is the Magus from the Black Tower." Goatee waved his hand, and several handguns behind him were raised at the same time as he pointed them at Ma Tiya.

"No!" Hong Gu suddenly shouted loudly, "You promised not to hurt him!"

However, it was too late. Several bullets sprayed out from the barrel of the gun.

At such a close distance, in this small room, Ma Tiya had no way of dodging.

He didn't need to dodge. All the bullets stopped two or three inches in front of him.

The Goatee frowned, he never thought that Ma Tiya would still be able to use spells after being poisoned.

Ma Tiya was not an ordinary person. At such a young age, he was already a candidate to be Magus King's twelfth disciple.

A purple shield that no one could see was placed in front of him. Those bullets were embedded into the invisible shield, making it seem like they were floating in mid-air.

"Go to hell!" The spear in Ma Tiya's right hand pierced through the shield and flew towards the goatee.

Although he could not see it, the goatee could feel the flow of air. He quickly retreated backwards while grabbing the two men in black to block the attack in front of him.

The two men in black who were used by him to block the spear let out miserable shrieks at the same time. Next, a huge, round, bloody hole appeared on their stomach.

They were pierced by the invisible spear.

"Everyone attack together!" The goatee issued an order, and the black clothed people beside him immediately swarmed over. He also took out a yellow talisman paper.

Ma Tiya's attacks did not stop there. The attacks that were aimed at him were all blocked by his invisible shield. As for the pike formed from magic energy, it continuously pierced through the shield and pierced through the black clothed people who were rushing over.

Blood sprayed out, splashing onto his shield and spear. Everyone gradually saw the weapon in Ma Tiya's hands clearly. However, they were still unable to attack the shield in Ma Tiya's hands, and were also unable to dodge his attack.

Ma Tiya was like a mad tiger, and these black clothed men were no different from sheep in his eyes.

Suddenly, a ball of fire flew towards his face. Ma Tiya subconsciously raised his shield, but the flames did not have a specific shape. The invisible shield that was also made of energy could not stop the ball of flames.

The flames that grew out from the Yellow Talisman in the Goatee's hand sprayed onto Ma Tiya's face.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ma Tiya wailed in pain.

"Ma Tiya!" Hong Gu cried out in Ma Tiya's direction. A black-clothed person pulled her arm from the back and dragged her outwards.

Ma Tiya heard Hong Gu's shout and opened his blood-red eyes.

A strong purple energy exploded from his body. He could no longer suppress the poison in his body!

He extracted the energy that was used to control his internal organs, and his blood circulation accelerated to its limit.

The Black Tower's Magus, the twelfth disciple to be his substitute. Ma Tiya was going to give it his all!
