Du Kongqing's hands moved with practiced precision as he prepared his attack. His fingers, gnarled from decades of handling toxic substances, began to glow with an eerie green light.
"Seven Extreme Heart Devouring Hands," he announced with malicious satisfaction. "This technique will introduce seventeen different poisons directly into your bloodstream through your skin."
I watched him approach with calm interest. "Seventeen? That seems excessive."
"Each poison amplifies the others," Du Kongqing explained, clearly enjoying what he believed would be my final moments. "The synergistic effect will dissolve your bones from the inside out within thirty minutes."
"Fascinating," I replied. "Please proceed."
The watching doctors recoiled in horror as Du Kongqing placed his glowing palms against my bare chest. The sensation was like ice and fire simultaneously coursing through my body. I could feel the poisons entering my system, searching for vital organs to attack.
