This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 174 The Poison of the Human Heart
Li Fei was standing on the dragon and tiger stage.

Offstage, Liu Zheng was lying.

Li Fei did not dare to expose his true strength, but at the last moment, the most critical moment, he still used Ten Thousand Blood Pearls to block Liu Zheng's attack, and also used "Blood Rage".

If it was just a momentary abnormality, it would actually be acceptable, and Li Fei wouldn't even need to explain it, as others would automatically "imagine" that it was some kind of special trick of his.

"it is good!!!"

After a brief silence, applause and cheers broke out in the restaurant.

Obviously, they were all sent by the Zhang family.

"it is good--"

Then the audience around the Dragon and Tiger Stage also applauded.

They actually don’t care that much about who wins, but rather how good the fight is.

In their opinion, the final showdown was very exciting and fought with great momentum!
"He actually won?"

In the crowd, Zhao Yi stared blankly at the figure on the stage.

She knew about the Limit-Breaking Pill because she had a great wizard in the possession stage as her master, who told her many things about the martial arts world.

A martial artist at the peak of the Qi Transformation Stage took the Limit Breaking Pill, and his strength was almost as strong as that of the Dao Foundation Stage!
How could Li Fei defeat such an opponent?

Although the victory was won under the rules of a ring match, it was enough to shock Zhao Yi.

Can I really defeat such a person?

Zhao Yi is actually not afraid of climbing mountains because she is determined to be the best.

But what made her feel disheartened was that the mountain she was about to climb was still getting higher at a very fast speed!

At this moment, the joy of successfully breaking through to the Divine Transformation Stage disappeared.

How long will it take me to catch up with such a peerless genius? Ten years? Twenty years?

Zhao Yi fell into confusion.
On the dragon and tiger stage, Li Fei looked up at a certain place in the restaurant.

There, Chu Bo stood expressionless.

The moment Liu Zheng was swept out of the ring, he actually wanted to leave.

But reason forced him to stay where he was.

If they leave at this time, it will only make the already shameful Chu family even more embarrassed.

"Chu Helmsman."

Li Fei looked at Chu Bo and said loudly.

When he started to speak, the surroundings quickly became quiet.

"Is there anyone else from the Chu family who wants to go?"

Li Fei asked.

Chu Bo clenched his fists, but his face remained calm:
"Nothing."

"it is good."

Li Fei nodded, "Then I hope that Chu Helmsman can abide by the agreement and bring everyone in the Chu family to Zhang's mansion to keep vigil for three days starting tomorrow!"

Chu Bo was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"it is good."

Leaving this word, he turned and left.

"call--"

In another restaurant, everyone in the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief and began to cheer.

With today's battle, and the Chu family coming to the Zhang family to keep vigil, the Zhang family can finally breathe a sigh of relief in this crisis and see a glimmer of hope!

Shangguan Xiao looked at the figure below, and the scene of her first meeting with Li Fei emerged in her mind.

At that time, Li Fei was still a junior apprentice brother who needed her protection.

But now, this nephew has grown into someone she can rely on.

Soon, Li Fei and Shangguan Xiao returned to Zhang's house together.

After returning to Zhang's house, Li Fei planned to take off the level 4 protective clothing and return it to the Zhang family, but was stopped by Zhang Zedong.

This level 4 protective suit belongs to the eldest brother, and there is only one.

Zhang Zongyang actually had one on him too, but it belonged to the Zhige General Hospital and was public property. After his death, the protective suit was taken back.

"You have solved the crisis for my Zhang family and saved our reputation. Please accept this protective clothing as a token of my family's gratitude to you."

Zhang Zedong said to Li Fei in front of all the Zhang family members.

These words made everyone look different.

The value of a level 4 protective suit is comparable to that of a level 5 alien weapon. Both are priceless treasures. Zhang Zedong gave one to Li Fei, which was quite generous.

But it seems worthwhile to use it to win over a peerless genius like Li Fei, especially at this time.

Li Fei wanted to decline but was stopped by Shangguan Xiao.

She looked at Li Fei and said, "Just accept it. We may face risks later. I will feel more at ease if you wear a level 4 protective suit."

Since Shangguan Xiao had spoken, Li Fei did not hesitate and thanked Zhang Zedong.

This scene made the people from the second and third rooms look a little unnatural.

After the external crisis was temporarily resolved, the internal strife began again.

In other words, the infighting has never stopped.

Next, Zhang Zedong wanted to arrange a room for Shangguan Xiao, but was rejected by Shangguan Xiao.

"I won't live in Zhang's house from now on."

Shangguan Xiao said calmly.

"Little sister!"

Zhang Zedong looked at her helplessly, "It's already this time, do you have to continue to separate yourself from the family so clearly?" Shangguan Xiao looked at him with a cold gaze, "Second brother, the Zhang family is in trouble this time, I will definitely do my best to help the Zhang family overcome this crisis, but I have never coveted the position of head of the family."

In this world where force is respected, there are also families with women as the heads of the family, so if Shangguan Xiao really wants to compete, she actually has a great advantage.

But she never thought about fighting.

Zhang Zedong: “.”

Shangguan Xiao glanced at the people present with different expressions. She saw snickering in many people's eyes, which made her disdain even more intense:
"I will not ignore the Zhang family, but you can fight for the position of the head of this family. My last name is Shangguan, not Zhang."

After leaving these last words, Shangguan Xiao turned and left.

Li Fei followed closely behind.

The two men walked out of Zhang's house one after the other and walked slowly on the street.

"Do you think I'm being hypocritical? I can't let go of my family, but I want to draw a clear line with them?"

Shangguan Xiao suddenly asked.

Li Fei calmly said, "I don't know about the disputes between you and your family, so I won't comment on it."

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

Li Fei has always believed in this truth.

Shangguan Xiao smiled, and then said in a cold tone:
"I've long been tired of the disputes and ugly faces of these noble families. The people who hurt you the most in this world may not be your enemies, but your family, the people closest to you."

Li Fei nodded, deeply touched.

"I promised to protect the Zhang family and help them through this difficult time, just because I felt I owed it to my father, so I couldn't let the Zhang family fall. But if it comes to each person in the family, and I am asked to risk my life for those who only care about their own interests, I would only feel disgusted."

Shangguan Xiao shook her head and looked at Li Fei, "I just implicated you."

She asked Li Fei to accept the level 4 protective suit, actually to help Li Fei get benefits in advance.

She could help the Zhang family without expecting anything in return, but Li Fei had no such obligation, and as his mistress, she didn't want Li Fei to suffer any loss.

"Sister-in-law."

Li Fei interrupted him, "It's not a question of involvement. There are some things in this world that don't need to be so clearly distinguished. For example, if I encountered any difficulties in Datong Prefecture, I believe you and the teacher would choose to help me without hesitation."

Shangguan Xiao smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this."

Next, the two of them walked into a guesthouse.

This guesthouse was built by the government specifically to receive officials who came to the city from other places.

Shangguan Xiao was an official appointed by the imperial court, so he was naturally qualified to live here.

Living here, at least she doesn't have to worry about her safety.

No matter how crazy the enemies outside were, they would not break into the government's guesthouse at this critical juncture.

Moreover, now that a fourth-rank official has died, if something happens to the imperial officials living in the government guesthouse again, then the governor of Datong Prefecture, the chief inspector of the General Inspection Office, the head of the General Inspection Office, and other bigwigs can just resign!

In fact, Shangguan Xiao could have stayed in a higher-standard guesthouse, but now the investigation team from the provincial capital was staying there, so she decided not to join in. After all, she was also a party involved and had to avoid suspicion.

After registering at the front desk and checking in, Li Fei followed Shangguan Xiao into the room.

Shangguan Xiao still has something to ask him.

"Did you find any inside information through the General Inspection Office?"

After closing the door, Shangguan Xiao asked.

Li Fei had said before that he would try to learn more about the inside story of Zhang Zongyang’s murder through the identity of a secret inspector of the General Supervision Office.

"Yes, it's about your father's autopsy."

Li Fei nodded.

When Zhang Zongyang's autopsy was performed, people from all parties were present, so the General Inspectorate also received a copy of the results.

Normally, Li Fei had no right to know the result, but perhaps because he was Shangguan Xiao's nephew, for some reason, Xia Huan let Lu Mengyang reveal an important piece of information to him:
"A very rare toxin was found on your father's body. The initial diagnosis is that he was poisoned by a highly toxic substance that would take effect at a fixed time."

"What did you say?!"

Shangguan Xiao stood up suddenly, murderous intent in his eyes.

Her biggest doubt about Zhang Zongyang's death has always been who has the power to kill him?
Zhang Zongyang is a long-established Daoji-stage warrior. He has already received three implants and cultivated them all to the Qi-transformation stage, developing high-level strength.

Such combat power is also at the upper end among the strong ones in the Dao Foundation Stage.

There may still be many strong people in Datong Prefecture who can defeat Zhang Zongyang, but there are very few who can kill him, because the vitality of a strong person in the Dao Foundation Stage is extremely tenacious, and it is very difficult to kill him.

On the night when Zhang Zongyang was killed, it took less than five minutes from the time the sounds of fighting were heard in the villa to the end of the fighting.

To kill a Dao Foundation Stage expert like Zhang Zongyang in just five minutes and make him unable to escape, there are not many people in the entire Datong Prefecture who can do it.

And these people had almost no reason to kill Zhang Zongyang.

This is what Shangguan Xiao can’t figure out.

Now, this question has finally been answered:
It turns out that my father was poisoned before he died!
"What kind of poison is it?"

Shangguan Xiao asked.

Li Fei shook his head: "I'm not sure yet. It's really rare for a poison to be effective against a Dao Foundation Stage expert."

"What else do you want to say?"

Shangguan Xiao saw that Li Fei was hesitant to speak.

Li Fei hesitated for a moment and said slowly:
"After I entered Wuhan University, I learned how to use poison from a teacher who specialized in teaching poisonology. He told me that poisons like this that can be released periodically are actually tailor-made and require long-term observation and research."

Shangguan Xiao stared at Li Fei: "What did you say?!"

She is a smart person and has an instinct to see straight to the heart of people, so she understood what Li Fei meant instantly.

It takes a long time of observation and research to prepare a poison that can take effect regularly. So who can observe and study Zhang Zongyang for a long time?
The most likely person is the one around him, from the Zhang family!
At this moment, Shangguan Xiao suddenly felt a little cold.

The poison that could make even Daoji-stage strong men fall victim to it was certainly terrifying, but what she found even more terrifying was the poison in people’s hearts!
