I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1243 It's done! It's done! I killed the Empress of Great Xia!
'Lu Cai, you must have suffered a lot on this journey through the martial world.'

'Huh? No, no.'

'So you've all become blood silkworms, so you've all started lying to me?'

"No, no, how could I lie to Your Majesty? It's really not true."

'Hehe, you've gotten stronger. When I last saw you, you were just a little kid struggling to push a stroller.'

'I'd like to help you with something.'

A conversation between Lu Cai and Su Chang'an after Lu Cai returned to the capital from his journey through the martial arts world.

Lu Cai could never forget that night, when the Empress sat cross-legged on the veranda as casually as ever, looking at him with gentle eyes.

I can't forget the Empress's last words, as she placed her hand on his head: "But you've suffered so much; your parents and sister will be heartbroken, and they'll blame me for not taking good care of you."

But Lu Cai didn't tell the Empress.
He just wanted to do things for him.

"Xuanqi! Faster!"

In the marketplace, Lu Cai's eyes and overall demeanor were completely different from when he was just now or when he was in the palace.

His eyes flashed with a crimson light, and the golden threads at the tips of his five fingers were crystal clear.

The strange little snake darted among the crowd on the street, startling everyone who saw it, perhaps because they heard Lu Cai's voice.

The speed has indeed increased significantly!

Lu Cai followed closely behind.

He never expected to be able to help the Empress in any way.

But he was very clear about one thing: whatever the Empress commanded him, he had to do.

suddenly!

As Xuanqi stopped, it jumped onto Lu Cai's shoulder and wrapped itself around Lu Cai's arm.

It hissed and flicked its tongue towards the yard in front of it.

Lu Cai looked at the courtyard in front of him and jumped into it without hesitation.
Swish!
But just as Lu Caicai jumped into the courtyard...

Several silver needles suddenly shot towards him.

The moment Lu Cai leaned back, the silver needle flew past his face.

Then a figure rushed directly towards him.

Lu Cai rolled backward and, the moment he regained his footing, threw a punch at the oncoming figure without hesitation.

boom!
Fists collided with each other.

Their eyes met.

It was a woman, who looked to be no more than twenty years old.

But it was only for that one moment when our eyes met.

Lu Cai knew it was this person!

because
It's a poison!

The crystal-clear silk threads danced wildly under the sunlight, but in an instant they seemed to come alive, quickly wrapping around the woman's arm along his arm.

Meanwhile, one, two, and many centipedes crawled out from the woman's sleeve, and the centipedes went to gnaw on the silk threads.

Follow!

A centipede, like a black lightning bolt, pounced on Lu Cai.

In the instant Lu Cai turned his body to the side, the woman's other hand changed from a fist to a claw, with a deliberate presence on it. Black blades trailed behind her five fingers, and the claw seemed to transform into the pincers in the mouth of a centipede!
Lu Cai's eyes suddenly turned into vertical pupils. He exhaled lightly and clenched his other hand, throwing a punch at the woman's face!

It wasn't about stopping the woman's claw attack, but rather about throwing a punch directly at her face!

At the same time, the small snake on her shoulder lunged towards the woman.

Like someone who doesn't value their life!
Upon seeing this, the woman's expression froze for a moment before her claws grabbed Lu Cai's shoulder.

But before he could exert any force, black lightning suddenly appeared on Lu Cai's fist, and mysterious energy coiled around his wrist, making his fist appear like a snake emerging from its hole.

In the blink of an eye, the fist appeared before her eyes.

The woman immediately let go and turned to avoid it.

But unexpectedly...
shuh~~
Lu Cai loosened his fist, and golden threads appeared, hanging down from Lu Cai's fingers, with black lightning on each thread.

Upon seeing this, the woman's pupils dilated, and she immediately backed away!
But Lu Cai still raised his hand!
Blood splattered.

The woman who had retreated stood about seven or eight steps away, panting heavily, and reached out to touch her neck.

The wound was not visible, but blood had soaked through the neck and throat, and stained the clothes red.

On the other arm, a centipede crawled, but there was also blood on it.

However, the skin around the woman's neck wound appeared to be ulcerated, and some areas of her originally fair skin had turned yellowish-brown.

Lu Cai lowered his hands, and blood-red threads hung down from them, more eye-catching than gold threads.

The woman had grabbed his shoulder and locked it. His clothes were tattered, and there were scratches on his shoulder that were purple, indicating that he had been poisoned.

The woman crushed the centipede that was drinking her blood in her palm. As she took a step forward, purple and pink vein-like patterns appeared on her skin. "There's a rumor in Raojiang that the old codger Wumu taught a descendant who was ruthless. He stayed in that old codger's Gu pit for half a month, tortured beyond recognition by the five immortals that old thing raised, but he survived and even turned himself into a Gu. I never thought the rumor was true!"

Lu Cai looked at her and said, "You must be Xuan'er, the one who fled to the capital after her failed rebellion against the Gu Immortal Sect."

The woman's lips curled up: "Xuan'er? That's just a name for fooling those idiots. My name is Xianhao, from Kuishui Village. Although I'm very curious about how you found this place, it's no use asking now. But I have a question for you."

Lu Cai took off his clothes. He only had a few official robes. Although this one was torn, he could still wear it after some mending. He couldn't let it be ruined any further.

The woman named Xian Hao asked, "You?"

But before Xian Hao could speak, Lu Cai immediately said, "There should be more than just you, but even including the woman I skinned before, there are only two people. It shouldn't be this few."

Xian Hao's expression froze for a moment: "You skinned me?"

Lu Cai's eyes were devoid of color, and his amber-colored vertical pupils, like the snake coiled around his neck, were as cold as ice. "If you don't want to answer, fine, but considering that you are a Gu person, I may be a little ruthless. Just bear with it."

As he spoke, Lu Cai slightly bent his knees and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Xian Hao, also a ninth-rank cultivator, transformed his hands into claws and thrust them towards his side. "There are many techniques for cultivating Gu, and you chose the most ruthless one to yourself, which greatly increases your strength. But... this old woman, the chief of Kui Shui Village, is not someone you can easily manipulate!" The moment Xian Hao thrust out his claws, his knuckles glowed with a dark purple light, and insects crawled out from his sleeves, their large, beady eyes staring hungrily at Lu Cai.

boom!
Lu Cai revealed his figure just as Xian Hao pointed a claw in the direction.

The instant fist and claw collide!

Insects crawled out of Xian Hao's sleeve like madmen, and countless centipedes, ants and other insects crawled up her hand and onto Lu Cai's arm.

At that very moment, dense incantations appeared on the meridians that had just appeared on her face, and those patterns seemed to be alive, covering her entire face in the blink of an eye.

Lu Cai's expression remained unchanged.

The golden thread on the little snake Xuanqi's body was particularly dazzling. Following Lu Cai's arm, Xuanqi devoured the insects one by one.

But there were just too many insects, and in an instant, Lu Cai's arm and Xuan Qi were completely covered by them.

"Boy! This old woman's poison is not as potent as the old poisoner's in the poison pit, but it's not something just anyone can withstand. Your Gu, is it... um?" Xian Hao's expression froze, and he nodded, looking at his arm.

Blood-red threads had somehow become entangled around her arm.

And it's getting tighter and tighter.

Lu Cai looked at Xian Hao: "Because I'm inferior, that's why I don't care if they bite me."

As he spoke, he clenched his fist.

"what!"

Xian Hao screamed in agony, accompanied by more and more blood flowing down her entire arm!

Moreover, it was clearly visible to the naked eye that the entire arm was completely taut and covered in blood, with the skin and flesh completely exposed.

Click!

A sudden, loud cracking sound rang out!
Xian Hao screamed again!

But Lu Cai had already made his move at this moment.

Upon seeing this, Xianhao immediately tried to retreat.

But just as he took a step back
Swish!
Xianhao's entire arm was completely twisted off by the gold thread.

Whether it was due to the Gu people or some other reason, there were purple chunks of flesh in the flesh and blood of Xian Hao's severed shoulder and arm.

Xian Hao's face was contorted with rage. He gritted his teeth, glanced at his severed arm, and then stared at Lu Cai with bloodshot eyes: "Kill you! Kill you."

But he had only just opened his mouth!
Lu Cai, however, had already taken a step toward Xian Hao.

Xian Hao's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately clenched his fist and thrust it out.

But this time.
Just as he threw that punch, the golden thread had already wrapped around Xian Hao's arm.

Snapped!
Lu Cai rolled to the ground, raised one hand, his fingertips glistening with golden threads. His hand, which had just been bitten by poisonous insects, drooped to one side, with the small snake Xuanqi coiled around it, licking each wound with its tongue.

Xian Hao tried to break free, but found the golden threads tightening. He immediately stared wide-eyed at Lu Cai, "Wait...wait! Wait, I'll talk!"

Lu Cai's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers twitched slightly, and the golden threads indeed stopped. His snake-like eyes stared at Xian Hao.

Xian Hao immediately said, "We."

But just as he finished speaking, a flying insect flew out of Xianhao's mouth and rushed towards Lu Cai at great speed.

hiss~~
But then the little snake appeared in a strange shape, swallowed the flying insect in one gulp, and then lunged at Xian Hao's face.

Upon seeing this, a centipede crawled out from Xianhao's collar!
But before the centipede could bite Xuanqi...
Snapped!
A large hand grabbed Xuanqi, who was very close to Xianhao. "Golden Thread King Serpent, so it was here. No wonder we searched for so long in that old man's cave and couldn't find it. We gave it to you to refine into your natal Gu."

A very burly monk dressed in Nestorian Christianity from the Western Regions held Xuanqi in one hand and looked at Lu Cai.

"Danger! Help me!" Xian Hao shouted as soon as he saw the man.

The monk named Nansha ignored Xian Hao and instead looked at Lu Cai, saying, "Old man, so you sold the Gu Immortal Sect to the imperial court a long time ago and made a lackey of the court the young sect leader. Well then, I'm going to kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Sha threw the mysterious object in his hand aside, turned his body to the side, opened his fist stance, and threw a punch at Lu Cai!

end!

Lu Cai's expression immediately turned astonished upon hearing the punch.

Nan Sha spoke up: "Thanks to the old poisoner for not killing me with that last blow, I was able to break through to the limit! Young Master, I'll give your head to the old poisoner as a thank-you gift!"

The punch was imbued with powerful intent, and there was a dark green afterimage on it, as if there were countless insect figures on it.

Lu Cai could see the punch, but when he tried to dodge it, the punch was already in front of him.

Can't hide!
but.
A single apricot blossom suddenly landed on the punch.

Swish!
Just as he was less than a fist's distance from Lu Cai, it happened.
Blood splatters!

His wrist and fist were severed.

"He's my brother, how could I let you kill him?"

At the same time, a figure in cyan appeared in front of Lu Cai.

Upon seeing this figure, the burly man cried out in pain.

Xian Hao on the ground looked surprised; with just one glance, he immediately recognized her as the Empress!

That Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty!

The next moment, Xian Hao also showed signs of madness, and even the color of his pupils changed.

Su Chang'an turned to look at Lu Cai: "Didn't I tell you to wait for someone?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Cai's shoulder and his blood-soaked arm, and frowned.

But just as Su Chang'an was about to say something next...
Su Chang'an looked down at the back of his hand.

A small, colorful centipede had somehow landed on the back of his hand, and...
And so I took a bite.

"It's done! It's done! I killed the Empress of Great Xia!!!" Xian Hao suddenly shouted as if he had forgotten the pain.
