As the Universe Turns - Chapter 898
Chapter 898 Test the Poison with One’s Body
The atmosphere became colder and colder. Finally, Qin Lian gritted her teeth and walked forward. At this moment, she had already made up her mind. Now that she was poisoned, what was the use of staying at home? Why don’t we go out and avoid implicating our family …
She knew that she had been poisoned three years ago because of Xiahou Yu. This person had already planned something, so she would not compromise with this person. Now that her poison had already penetrated deep into her heart, she only needed to forcefully circulate the poison along the way back to her marrow. At that time, even Xiahou Jie would not be able to save her …
She would rather die than let this person succeed.
“Lian’er, wait!”
Qin saw what she wanted to do, but he couldn’t bear it anymore and pulled her back.
“Grandpa” Qin Lian’s eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, she could clearly feel Grandpa’s trembling hands.
Qin Guan slowly looked out at Xiahou Jie and said coldly, “How do you want to compete …”
“The so-called competition is only known by my subordinates …”
Xiahou Jie waved his sleeve and his aura trembled. The snow and ice immediately began to revolve around him. A boundless aura surged out, causing everyone to feel suffocated. What a powerful skill!
“Wait …”
Just as Qin Guan was in a dilemma, Xiao Chen walked out again. Xiahou Jie shot him two cold gazes, “Little friend Xiao, what do you want to say …”
Xiao Chen looked at him and said indifferently, “Today, Master Qin is the host. Everyone who comes here is a guest. How can there be any reason for the guests to compete with each other? Why don’t we … let I am take the place of Master Qin in this competition?”
The moment he said this, everyone was shocked. Even Old Master Qin might not be Xiahou Jie’s opponent. How could he be Xiahou Jie’s opponent?
“Young Hero Xiao, you …”
This time, even Qin Guan’s expression changed drastically. Unknowingly, the way he was addressed had already become the same as the way he addressed Xiao Zhufeng back then.
Qin Yao, Qin Yue, and the others were also stunned. Even though he had defeated the Snow Domain Berserk Beasts on his own at the Snow Mountain today, how could he be Xiahou Jie’s opponent?
“How about this? Senior Xiahou agreed to let Xiao take the place of Old Master Qin in this competition …”
Xiao Chen’s expression hadn’t changed at all. His tone was also flat and calm. There was no ripple on his face, making it impossible for anyone to see through the slightest bit of thought in his heart.
Xiahou Jie’s cold gaze slowly focused on him. After a long time, he said gloomily, “Little friend Xiao, if you want to fight on behalf of the Qin Clan’s Clan Master, you can do it, but Xiahou can’t care so much about your life and death …”
“Today’s life and death is up to fate. I don’t blame anyone else.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly walked out. Qin Guan’s expression immediately changed and he stopped him, “Young Hero Xiao, wait a moment!”
He was shocked. Although he knew that Xiao Chen’s cultivation might not be inferior to his, the person in front of him was Xiahou Jie. No matter how high Xiao Chen’s cultivation was, he could not be his opponent. At that moment, he could clearly feel the killing intent coming from Xiahou Jie! Therefore, no matter what, he couldn’t let Xiao Chen take this risk.
And most of the people in the Fallen Snow Villa were stunned at this moment. They were all thinking in their hearts, who exactly was this white-haired young man …
“Old Master Qin, don’t worry …”
Xiao Chen patted his hand on his shoulder and continued walking outside. His gaze still met Xiahou Jie’s, neither dodging nor dodging.
“Young Hero Xiao …”
Qin Guan stared at him blankly, as if he was watching Xiao Zhufeng go out alone to defend against the enemy on that snowstorm night more than 40 years ago …
After arriving outside, Xiao Chen looked at Xiahou Jie and said indifferently, “If Senior Xiahou and I am compete according to the usual fighting methods, I believe that even if Senior Xiahou wins, it probably won’t be of much interest.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Xiahou Jie narrowed his eyes again and said coldly, “Then how do you want to compete …”
At this moment, the rest of them were also silent. Indeed, if they fought directly, no matter how powerful this young man was, he could not be Xiahou Jie’s opponent. They knew what the result was, so what was the point of this competition?
But at this moment, what kind of competition did this young man want to defeat Xiahou Jie? Could it be that he wanted to be the least skilled than Xiahou Jie? However, no one knew where Xiahou Jie’s weakness lay …
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “I heard Senior Xiahou’s poison technique earlier. The world is unparalleled. Only among the Ten Saints back then, Poison Saint Zang Fengyun was able to compete with Senior Xiahou. How about today, I am compete with Senior Xiahou for the word’poison ‘?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Originally, they thought that he was going to pick Xiahou Jie’s weakest spot to compete, but they didn’t expect that he would actually pick Xiahou Jie’s best at using poison techniques to compete. This was simply … simply inexplicable. Isn’t this sending him to his death?
“Haha!”
Xiahou Jie raised his head and laughed. His laughter echoed in the valley. Everyone felt incredulous and looked at Xiao Chen at the same time.
At this moment, everyone suddenly felt that this person did not play according to common sense. The person who was originally the most suitable to compete with Xiahou Yu was Qin Yue, but he sent Qin Yao, who had the lowest cultivation, to fight. But in the end, Qin Yao actually won for no reason. Could this person be a heavenly deity descending from the mortal world?
Xiahou Jie’s eyes narrowed. His two gazes landed on Xiao Chen like poisonous snakes. He said coldly, “Brat, have you thought it through clearly? Are you really going to compete with me in using poison techniques?”
“No …”
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “What I am wants to compete with Senior is not the technique of poison, but the technique of antidote.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again. This time, what kind of medicine was he selling in his gourd? “Senior poisoned, I am detoxified. If the detoxification succeeds before dark today, I am will win. If the detoxification fails, Senior will win …”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Before dark, it was already past noon. It was always dark in Qinling Mountains. It was at most three hours before dark. He wanted to cure Xiahou Jie’s poison in three hours. Was he talking about the Arabian Nights?
“Haha! Interesting, interesting!”
Xiahou Jie raised his head and laughed loudly. His last two icy cold gazes fell on Xiao Chen, “Brat, do you really think you’re a Medical Saint or a Medicinal Saint? Or are you deliberately playing tricks on me? Even if the two of them put together, they wouldn’t be qualified to say such words after three hours of antidote!”
Everyone was embarrassed and speechless. Indeed, if they wanted to cure Xiahou Jie’s poison, even the two of the Ten Saints, the Medical Sage and the Medicine Sage, would not be able to.
Xiao Chen’s expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently, “Senior Xiahou, what do you think?”
“Good, good!”
Xiahou Jie’s eyes were cold as he swept his gaze towards the Fallen Snow Villa, “Who wants to test Xiahou’s poison?”
Seeing his terrifying gaze, everyone shrank back. Who dared to test his poison? Wouldn’t that mean that he didn’t want to die …
After a long time, a woman’s voice sounded, “Let me …”
The person who spoke was none other than Qin Lian. She glanced at Xiao Chen and resolutely walked towards Xiahou Jie as if she was going to die.
“Miss Qin, it’s better to come back …”
Xiao Chen’s gaze fell on Xiahou Jie as he said indifferently, “The girl has already been poisoned. If she were to be poisoned by Senior Xiahou again, she would probably die immediately. Do you want I am to lose on the spot?”
“Childe Xiao …”
Qin Lian was stunned for a moment. She immediately stopped and turned to look at him. It was as if this was really the case. However, apart from her, who else in the Qin Family dared to test the poison …
“Sigh, that’s all …”
Just as everyone was concentrating, Qin Guan walked out and sighed, “Let this old man try this poison” As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Chen. At this moment, his gaze seemed to have completely given his life to this young man.
“Big brother can’t!”
At this moment, the two old men behind immediately stopped them. The disciples of the villa behind them also shook their heads, their eyes filled with fear. The Patriarch was their Patriarch. If something were to happen, the entire sky of the Qin Family would probably collapse …
“Xiao just said that there is no need for Old Master Qin to take action today. Naturally, there is no need for Old Master Qin to test the poison …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen continued to walk outside. He looked at Xiahou Jie and said, “Since that’s the case, why don’t you let I am personally test Senior Xiahou’s poison …”
The moment he finished speaking, everyone in the crowd was stunned. At this moment, the entire Fallen Snow Villa became exceptionally quiet. Following which, Qin Guan’s shocked voice sounded, “No!”
Qin Guan’s face was filled with shock. No matter what, he couldn’t let Xiao Chen take this risk. Xiao Zhufeng was grateful to the entire Qin Family back then, but now he only had this single bloodline left. Even if he compromised with Xiahou Jie today, he wouldn’t let Xiao Chen take this risk with his own body!
At this moment, Qin Yue also ran over with a shocked expression. If he still couldn’t guess Xiao Chen’s identity, then it would be strange. He stepped forward and said loudly, “Why don’t I test Hall Master Xiahou’s poison?”
“Big brother …”
Qin Yao was stunned. She looked at her big brother and then at the white-haired man beside him. She thought about the scene in the snow mountain in the morning. At this moment, her face became even more stunned, as if she had fallen into confusion.
“Hehe, interesting, interesting …”
Xiahou Jie smiled gloomily. In the end, he looked coldly at the crowd and said gloomily, “Whoever comes, the result is the same. Is it decided …”
“Qin Childe, come back.”
Xiao Chen’s gaze remained calm. As soon as he finished speaking, he was already in front of Xiahou Jie in an instant. His hands were still behind his back, and his head of white hair behind his shoulders was also raised in the wind.
“What a fast speed …”
Everyone in the distance was shocked. Even though their cultivation levels weren’t low, they couldn’t see how Xiao Chen had arrived in front of Xiahou Jie.
“Young Hero Xiao …”
Behind them, Qin Guan and the others were all shocked. However, at this moment, they seemed to already know that they could no longer dissuade Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change when facing Xiahou Jie. His words were the same as before, “Senior poisoned me within three breaths of time. If I manage to get rid of the poison within three hours, then I will win. If I fail to get rid of the poison then Senior will also win if I am dies from the poison.”
