Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 177: The Thousand Poison Demon Girl Plays with the Imperial Master

Seeing that Mayor Xu was standing still with dignity, Ji Jie's sword suddenly trembled, "Buzz..." The sword tip suddenly became illusory, as if it had turned into a cloud of mist, and he used a "Clouds and Myriad Changes" move to stab at Mayor Xu. He knew that Mayor Xu's cultivation was too high and he might not be his opponent, so he used all his life's skills as soon as he attacked.

When the rapidly changing sword edge was about to reach Xu Shi's eyes, Xu Shi reached into the mist with his right hand at a moderate speed, and turned his wrist along the way. With a humming sound of the sword, the mist suddenly disappeared, and the sword edge was firmly clamped by his index and middle fingers.

Ji Jie was shocked. This move was entirely based on internal force. Its force could break metal and split stone. The real and fake could be changed in an instant, making it difficult to identify its edge. He had practiced it for many years since he was young and was very proud of this move. However, he did not expect that Xu Shidan would catch it with his fingers, reducing the sharp sword force. When he wanted to take the sword back, he found that the sword had been firmly restrained. Ji Jie shouted loudly, circulated the true energy in his body, and instead of retreating, he advanced. With a flash of sword light, he thrust out with all his strength in a bow step.

Xu Shi tilted his head slightly to the left to avoid the sword light, but his fingers were still holding the sword tip, and the sword did not move forward at all.

Ji Jie tightly grasped the long sword, turned sideways, and twisted the sword body. His internal strength was full, but Xu Shi still did not let go. Ji Jie was very anxious, and used the force to get close to Xu Shi. He clenched his left fist and struck Xu Shi's face along the sword body. Xu Shi raised his palm to meet it. With a "pop", the fists and palms collided, and strong winds scattered. Ji Jie immediately felt his arm numb, and kicked Xu Shi in the ribs with his right foot. Xu Shi returned his palm to resist, "bang". Ji Jie immediately felt his foot kicked a tough wooden stake, and all the force was rebounded. Ji Jie attacked for more than ten moves in a row, as fast as a meteor. Xu Shi always held the sword tip, facing each other with his palms, as if trying to hold Ji Jie hostage.

Ji Jie became more and more angry as the fight went on. He was a stubborn person by nature, and being played around by Xu Shi really seemed to be killing him. He roared, dropped his sword, and swung his palms, attacking Xu Shi with mad power.

Xu Shi took the sword in his hand, and while he was parrying the attack, he said with a smile: "You have lost your sword, how can you still defeat me? Just like this country, it is no longer the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. You still think you are the emperor, and you bring a few desperate men with you, thinking that you can restore the Eastern Zhou Dynasty by designing a perfect plan. At this point, don't you understand that you have no capital anymore."

Ji Jie could not stand Xu Shi's ridicule. He was furious and shouted, "Even though Qin has conquered the world, how do you know it won't fall in an instant? You are just a demon who relies on the tyrannical Qin to harm the people. What qualifications do you have to judge me!" He was almost risking his life. At this time, Yu Sisi rushed over regardless of everything. Red clouds swarmed towards Xu Shi and shouted, "My lord, retreat quickly and wait for the real person to deal with him!"

Mayor Xu vigorously waved his sleeves, and a red light burst out, instantly dispersing the swarm of insects. Ji Jie was hit by the fierce true energy, as if hit by a hammer, his whole body was in pain, and he was blown away three feet away.

Yu Sisi flew over to support Ji Jie, and said with great concern: "My lord, saving your life is the most important thing. Sisi will stop him, and my lord will retreat first!"

Ji Jie looked at Ying Zheng who was less than fifty feet away, shook his head and said: "I will never give up until I kill Ying Zheng with my own hands today!"

"This demon is cunning and sly. We can't defeat him. Let's just flee from here and think of a solution!"

Xu Shi held a long sword in his hand and laughed, "Do you think you can escape from here today?"

Yu Sisi looked at Xu Shi coldly with her beautiful eyes and chuckled, "It was difficult before, but now it has become easy. I have painted the lord's sword with 'Bone-Eroding Soul-Locking Powder'. Now try your hand to see if it is no longer yours. Princess, no matter how high your cultivation is, if you can't survive today, you will 'return to nothingness' and become a rotten stone."

Xu Shi looked at his palms intently, and found that they were slightly red and numb. He quickly threw away the sword, sealed the meridians in his hands, and used his energy to detoxify. However, even though the red light was flashing, the numbness and itchiness in his hands would not go away. In a moment, Xu Shi was sweating profusely.

Yu Sisi laughed and said, "If you didn't want to tease my master, how could you have been poisoned by my 'Bone Erosion Soul Locking Powder'? This is what you call fate playing tricks on you!"

Seeing that the poison could not be removed, Xu Shi thought that Ji Jie was holding the hilt of the sword but was not poisoned, so there must be an antidote. As soon as Yu Sisi finished speaking, Xu Shi's figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Yu Sisi. Yu Sisi wanted to dodge, but her neck was pinched by Xu Shi's other hand. She only heard Xu Shi say coldly: "Hurry up and give me the antidote!"

Ji Jie swung his palm towards Xu Shi's arm, "Let her go!" Before he could touch her, Xu Shi kicked him in the chest and sent him back more than ten steps.

Yu Sisi was choked by the huge palm force, her face flushed red, and she said forcefully: "Master, please leave quickly, don't worry about me, she doesn't dare to kill me!"

Mayor Xu instantly pressed acupoints on Yu Sisi, threw her to the ground, and reached out to search Yu Sisi's sleeves.

Yu Sisi giggled and said, "You old demon Taoist are really disrespectful. In broad daylight, in front of so many people, you searched a girl's body. Do you still have any shame?"

Xu Shi hesitated for a moment, and his finger was immediately pierced by an unknown sharp object. He immediately retracted his hand and saw a pinhole-sized hole on the tip of his index finger, with black blood oozing out. He immediately felt that his finger could no longer move. He only heard Yu Sisi laughing and saying, "Old demon, you have fallen into a trap. It was just a tendon strengthening powder before. It was a pill that my master applied on his hands when practicing sword to increase his internal strength. This time you have been poisoned by the 'Little Red Flower'. You are really going to 'return to the void'!"

Mayor Xu angrily said, "How dare you cheat!" He slapped Yu Sisi on the face, causing blood to spurt out from the corner of her mouth and a bruise on her pretty face.

Ji Jie fought back, but after a few moves, he was hit by Xu Shi's palm. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

The reason why Mayor Xu didn't kill Ji Jie was that he wanted him to hand over a magic weapon. However, he didn't expect that he would fall into the trap and fall into Yu Sisi's trap. He hurriedly sealed the meridians in his left hand again and used his luck to force out the poison.

If it was a normal poison, as long as he used his luck to resist it, the poison would be forced out in a short time, but this poison was very strong. As long as he used his luck, the poison would spread along the meridians. Now his entire arm had lost consciousness and was out of control, as if it had been petrified. Although he was proficient in alchemy and pharmacology, it was impossible to prepare an antidote in a short period of time, unless he crippled his entire arm. Xu Shi gave up using his luck to force the poison out, walked in front of Ji Jie, and said coldly to Yu Sisi: "Quickly bring out the antidote, or I will beat him to death with one palm!"

Yu Sisi said: "If you beat him to death, I will definitely bury you with him!"

Xu Shi shot out a cyclone from his right hand and hit Ji Jie's acupuncture point, then lifted him up and shouted, "I'll count to three. If you don't hand over the antidote, I'll kill him and make you regret it too late."

Yu Sisi was afraid that Ji Jie would be hurt again, so she said, "No need to count, just let him go and I'll give you the antidote."

Ji Jie endured the severe pain and said, "Don't give him the antidote. At worst, I will die with him. When Master comes back, he will kill Ying Zheng for me."

No one who was watching the battle had expected this to happen. Mayor Xu was poisoned by Yu Sisi. Ying Zheng was afraid that the Imperial Master was in trouble, so he hurriedly shouted, "Give the Imperial Master the antidote quickly, and I will spare your life."

Ji Jie spat and said sternly: "How can you decide my life? You, the tyrant, are afraid of death, but I am not."

Yu Sisi said: "If the lord is gone, what's the point of killing Ying Zheng? We need to let this evil Taoist live. With him around, the Qin Dynasty will surely perish."

Even though Xu Shi was usually calm, his face turned extremely ugly when he heard these particularly harsh words. He said to Yu Sisi coldly, "You are a cunning woman, how can I believe that you have an antidote?"

"If you untie my acupuncture points, I will tell you!"

Xu Shi unblocked the acupuncture points with a flick of his finger, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Yu Sisi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up, led out the small flower snake, wrapped it around her wrist, pinched the snake's head, pressed her jade finger on the fangs, and immediately pierced her finger. She retracted her finger, and black blood had already flowed out. She gently stroked the colorful snake body and put it into her sleeve. She slowly took out a small jade bottle from her bosom, poured out a black pill, sniffed it lightly at her lips, and swallowed it. She put the jade bottle into her bosom, stretched out her finger, and said to Xu Shi: "Now this lady has also been poisoned by the small flower red. What I took is the antidote. In a short while, the blood will return to red, and your fingers will be able to recover."

Seeing that her fingers could indeed move and the blood on her fingers gradually turned red, Xu Shi rushed to Yu Sisi without hesitation and reached out to grab the jade bottle.

Yu Sisi immediately shouted: "You evil Taoist, are you shameless again!"

Mayor Xu immediately withdrew his hand, stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Hand it over!"

Yu Sisi said: "Humph, this is still a human being!"

Mayor Xu was so angry that his fingers were shaking. As long as he got the antidote, he would kill her with a single blow.

Yu Sisi had already seen through Xu Shi's thoughts. She took out the small jade bottle from her bosom, held it in her hand and said, "Let him go first!"

Mayor Xu would not let her do that. He stretched out his hand to grab her wrist and snatched the jade bottle away. He opened the bottle cap and saw a black pill inside.

Seeing that Xu Shi was about to swallow it, Yu Sisi smiled and said, "I have another jade bottle here, you come and identify which one is the antidote!"

Xu Shi saw that she had another jade bottle of the same appearance in her hand. It was difficult to tell which one was the previous one. He snatched it again, opened the bottle cap and found that there was also a black pill inside. He was shocked and said angrily, "You are cheating again!"

"It was you, the shameless demon, who cheated me. If you don't let me go, you'll have no chance of getting the antidote. To tell you the truth, I have eight more small bottles like this. They all look the same, and there's only one pill in each bottle. I can't tell the difference myself, and can only judge by my sense of smell. There are four black pills in total, and the antidote is difficult to make, so I only made two. The rest are poison. I took one, and now there's only one antidote left. I'll give them all to you. You're lucky, maybe you'll be chosen!" As he said that, he threw all the jade bottles in his hand to Xu Shi.

Mayor Xu took all the jade bottles and checked them one by one. As Yu Sisi said, only three of them were black pills. If someone else tried it, once they took the antidote, they would be dead. Moreover, this antidote was highly toxic. People who were not poisoned would be poisoned and die if they took it. It would not work. If he tried it himself, two of them would be fake. If he took the wrong pill, it was very likely that the old poison would not be cured and a new poison would be added. Yu Sisi was indeed cunning. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll let him go!"
