The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 38 Poisoning, Conditions

These changes all happened in the blink of an eye.

The hidden arrow pierced Chu Zishao's chest, and Chu Zishao fell to the ground with a thud.

The blood on his chest had a blackish tinge.

Is this poisonous?
Qin Hao was surprised to find that Chu Zishao, who was almost thirty, had already reached the second realm of cultivation, a level higher than him.

They even resorted to such petty tricks. Not to mention, the other side also poisoned the hidden arrows.

Seeing that the other party was still trying to take out the antidote from the storage bag, Qin Hao stepped forward and used his sword to pry open the storage bag.

Qin Hao did not step forward directly.

Given Chu Zishao's character, who knows if this storage bag is poisoned?

Above his head, wisps of calamity energy were still gathering, indicating that the danger was far from over.

While remaining on guard, Qin Hao glanced at Marquis Weiling outside the arena.

Can't save?
Qin Hao's sword strike just now aggravated Chu Zishao's injuries, leaving him speechless.

Moreover, Qin Hao wouldn't let the other party say a word.

We've already come to this point; the offense has already been committed.

Then it can't end like this.

Marquis Weiling's face was grim.

He and Chu Zishao discussed the plan several times before deciding on this strategy for the battle.

It was initially thought that Qin Hao, having no combat experience, would fall victim to a trap if he were even slightly careless.

Even if Qin Hao wasn't careless, with a cultivation level a whole level higher, why would he be afraid of losing?

But things just happen to be so coincidental.

Qin Hao didn't even use his prepared killing move; he only used the technique of using the opponent's force against them, a technique of using minimal force to deflect a great weight, from the Turtle and Snake Fist.

The battle was already over.

Marquis Weiling's face was grim. He had already attracted a lot of attention in the capital for bullying the weak.

However, he has never cared about these things.

What does it matter if I lose face as long as I achieve my goal?
Otherwise, why would he be entrusted with the dirty work of the person behind it?
But sometimes, if you make a mistake, you can suffer heavy losses.

That's how it is now.

"Qin Zhenyuan, what do you want?"

Marquis Weiling questioned him very bluntly.

Qin Zhenyuan was furious: "The decision to engage in magical combat is His Majesty's. If you want it to end, then you should ask His Majesty."

Marquis Weiling glanced towards the imperial city, but it was clear that Emperor Hengming had no intention of intervening.

Otherwise, how could His Majesty, who has witnessed everything that has happened in the capital, have remained silent?
Marquis Weiling then looked at the person behind him, but that person remained silent.

Clearly, they were unwilling to get involved in the magical duel.

Qin Hao kept a close eye on Chu Zishao, preventing him from speaking, and asked loudly, "Marquis Weiling, in this situation, do you have anything to say?"

On the dueling platform, he was in charge. Did Marquis Weiling want to use others to coerce him into ending the duel?
Then I'll let myself experience the pain of losing my eldest grandson.

Although it is inevitable that the other party will hold a grudge behind your back, and you may even be made difficult by His Majesty.

That's alright.

Come and don't go indecent.

He doesn't cause trouble, but he's not afraid of it either.

Marquis Weiling sent a telepathic message, but unfortunately, almost no one was willing to get involved in this mess.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is a power struggle at the top. Getting involved now would only bring trouble upon yourself.
An Yuanbo and Weilinghou were not considered big figures in the capital.

It's nothing more than a monkey show on stage.

However, seeing Qin Hao today has given many people some food for thought.

"He's a promising talent, and he'll be a fine weapon."

At this time, inside the palace.

Emperor Hengming looked at Xiaoyaozi and asked, "Brother Dao, what do you think of this one?"

Xiaoyaozi shook his head and didn't say anything more. Emperor Hengming chuckled a couple of times and then said to the deer envoy beside him, "After they finish negotiating, go and summon Qin Hao to the palace."

Envoy Lu was taken aback, not expecting that His Majesty would personally meet this person.

I couldn't see anything that made her different from others.

Perhaps my vision is not broad enough.

The Deer Messenger gave a self-deprecating laugh.

On the dueling platform, Qin Hao chuckled: "If Marquis Weiling still hasn't made a decision, it seems the duel will have to continue."

"How dare you!" Marquis Weiling, though outwardly fierce, was inwardly weak: "The duel is over, where is the Six Doors' golden seal? Why hasn't it been announced yet?"

Unfortunately, He Qizhi, the Golden-Clad Detective, seemed not to hear anything and was sharpening his nails with a dagger.

"you."

Marquis Weiling roared in anger.

The Prince of Duoluo laughed and said, "Lord Weiling, you set the rules for this contest. Now that neither your eldest grandson nor the youngest grandson of the Earl of Anyuan has spoken, the contest must continue."

If there is an imperial edict from His Majesty, then it can naturally be concluded.

In addition, one must obtain handwritten letters from the three cabinet ministers.

Unfortunately, those powerful figures in the fourth realm were beyond the reach of Marquis Weiling.

The person behind him doesn't intend to help either.

Therefore, this battle of wits must continue.

Marquis Weiling threatened, "Now that my Shao'er is incapacitated, this contest is over. And you'll gain my family's friendship..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Hao scoffed, "Is your family's friendship worth anything?"

In this capital city, the friendships of the Marquis of Weiling are the least valuable.

He will rebel as long as he has any use.

Except for that one.

To put it bluntly, this Marquis Weiling is nothing more than someone else's pet dog, biting people everywhere.

Marquis Weiling was naturally furious. For the sake of that person, who in the capital wouldn't give him some face?

But when he really ran into a tough opponent, the person remained silent, and he was helpless.

Since the Prince Dorothy has spoken up, it's even less likely that the other person will stand up for him.

Since that's the case, the only solution is to pay to avoid trouble: "What do you want? Just say it."

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "I remember that ten years ago, at the auction of the Divine Capital Treasure Pavilion, Marquis Weiling won a piece of Crimson Jade. I have loved jade since I was a child. Why don't you part with it, Marquis Weiling?"

you!
Marquis Weiling almost coughed up blood.

This Crimson Jade is a top-grade jade and one of the raw materials for magical artifacts.

Qin Hao has quite the big mouth; he starts his day with this.

Before he could speak, Qin Hao's sword was already close to Chu Zishao, and Marquis Weiling had no choice but to say, "Alright, I'll have someone fetch it. Let my grandson fetch the antidote first, and then we can talk."

Qin Hao remained noncommittal, picked up the storage bag, and tossed it next to Chu Zishao.

After a while, seeing that Qin Hao made no other move, Chu Zishao forced himself to pick up the storage bag, took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a jade-colored pill, and swallowed it.

After meditating and recovering for a while, Chu Zishao stood up and said to Qin Hao, "Brother Qin, your skills are quite good. We'll meet again sometime."

He turned around, took a few steps, and was about to reach the bottom of the dueling platform.

But suddenly he turned around, and a thunderbolt he was holding in his hand was about to be shot out.

His face still held a hint of madness.

"I haven't given up yet... Pfft."

A flying sword shot out, severing Chu Zishao's wrist, and a severed hand fell to the ground.

A sky-blue lightning bolt rolled to the ground, showing a faint tendency to explode.

This?
So much happened in the blink of an eye.

A group of people stood up, staring at Qin Hao in shock: "This is... flying as an immortal on a sword?"
