The cold wind blew, and the atmosphere was extremely cold. Everyone’s faces were filled with shock as they remained silent.

From his current tone, it didn’t seem like he was joking at all. However, not to mention three breaths of time, if Xiahou Jie wanted to poison him, one breath was enough. If he stood still and didn’t use his martial arts, there was no way he could avoid it. However, if he used his martial arts to resist, it would be a violation of the rules.

It seemed that there was only one outcome, no matter what-he would die without a doubt!

“Young Hero Xiao …”

Qin Guan’s face was filled with shock as he looked at the figure in the cold wind from afar. It was really too similar to Xiao Zhufeng back then!

“Hehe, good, good …”

Xiahou Jie smiled gloomily and slowly moved away. The people from the Poison Scorpion Hall behind him subconsciously moved further back, as if they were afraid that they would get poisoned later.

On the other side of the Snow Falling Villa, everyone held their breath and focused. Just as Xiahou Jie raised his poisoned scorpion staff, everyone’s hearts jumped out of their chests. The moment Xiahou Jie raised his poisoned scorpion staff, it instantly pointed towards Xiao Chen’s chest. “Bang! Bang!” There were no more than three breaths of time. In less than a breath, the poison had already been planted into Xiao Chen’s body with his internal strength.

“Uh …”

A wisp of black gas instantly appeared on Xiao Chen’s face. Slowly, black gas also seeped out from his body. Everyone’s hearts trembled in the distance, and the expressions of Qin Guan and the others on the Fallen Snow Villa’s side changed abruptly.

“As expected of Senior Xiahou, this poison entered his heart meridians, passed through his internal organs, burned his hundred acupoints, and finally attacked his soul … it was indeed powerful.”

Xiao Chen covered his chest. His face was slightly pale, but his expression remained the same. Outside the Fallen Snow Villa, Qin Lian, Qin Yao, and the others were stunned. “Xiao … Childe Xiao …”

Xiahou Jie said gloomily, “Let me say it first. If you can’t cure this poison within three hours, even if you can survive for three hours, you will lose all six senses and be paralyzed for life. In the end, even your primordial spirit will be exhausted … So, I advise you, Little friend Xiao, to think of a way to cure the poison as soon as possible.”

These words weren’t alarmist at all. At this moment, a faint black gas appeared between his eyebrows, and black mist gradually permeated his body. Xiao Chen didn’t waste any more time and flew towards an island not far away. With the help of the island’s spiritual energy, the poison in his body didn’t spread so quickly, but it only slowed down.

Under everyone’s nervous gaze, he took out a pill with two fingers. The pill was light jade and emitted a faint glow. It was fed into his mouth.

Qin Guan and the others saw that the poisonous mist on his body immediately lessened a little after taking the medicine, and the nervousness on his face also lessened slightly. However, how powerful was Xiahou Jie’s poison? What in the world could cure it? If he wanted to use the pill to detoxify the poison, he would have to use the pill refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace by Old Lord Taishang, who was at the 33rd level of Li Hen Heaven.

In the distance, Xiahou Jie’s expression did not change. He coldly snorted in his heart, wanting to use a small pill to cure his poison. He was delusional.

The pill that Xiao Chen just consumed was not an antidote. It was the joint attack of Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Devil Sect in Yinshan Sect. He was infected with Yinshan Sect’s “Three-day Heart Devouring Poison”. At that time, Ling Luan gave him the “Taiqing Profound Jade Pill”. This pill could not detoxify the poison, but could temporarily suppress the outbreak of the poison.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense. Xiao Chen closed his eyes cross-legged. True Qi flowed endlessly from his body, but the wisps of purple-black poisonous mist still enveloped his body.

This poisonous mist was not from outside, but from inside out. Unless he was able to expel all of this poisonous mist from his body and not retain a single trace of it, the poison would spread out layer by layer, and he would never be able to detoxify it.

An hour passed. Everyone focused their attention, and Xiahou Jie’s expression remained cold. He stared at Xiao Chen motionlessly, but a strange expression flashed in his eyes.

“Within three hours, I wanted to cure Master of the poison. It’s simply a fool’s dream …”

Xiahou Yu sneered in his heart. His injuries had recovered a little. In his opinion, Xiao Chen’s desire to detoxify within three hours was no different from a big joke. He wanted to see how this kid died in the end.

On the other hand, Xiahou Jie’s expression was still icy cold, and his eyes were still filled with a strange expression. He didn’t know what he was thinking at this moment.

As for the Fallen Snow Villa, everyone’s expressions were nervous. From just now until now, they didn’t even dare to breathe a single mouthful of air. An hour had passed, but the poisonous mist on Xiao Chen’s body remained undispersed. How could this poisonous mist be dispersed? A layer of cold sweat gradually formed on their bodies.

On the island, Xiao Chen still closed his eyes. He did not hear the whispers of the people in the distance, nor did he hear the sound of the wind blowing by his ears. He was only focused on detoxifying the poison.

Back in Heavenly Spirit Sect, when he was poisoned by Yinshan Sect’s Three-day Heart Devouring Poison, the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique happened to be able to neutralize the poison, but the poison in the world was different. The Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique happened to be able to neutralize the Three-day Heart Devouring Poison, but it was unable to neutralize the poison Xiahou Jie had poisoned.

Now, he needed to recall the detoxification methods that Shen Jing had taught him over the years, be it the methods in the Spirit Pivot Sutra or the methods in the Nine Transformations.

Another hour slowly passed. At this time, the sky was gradually getting late. The clouds were slowly rising on the horizon. In another hour, the sky was completely dark.

At this moment, the poisonous mist on Xiao Chen’s body was still shrouded. However, it was different from an hour ago. At this moment, his body was dripping with sweat, and his face was already covered with sweat. It looked like he was trying his best to detoxify the poison, but until now, it was still fruitless.

“There’s still two hours left. Brat, you’re doomed. Forcefully step forward and be a hero. Heh … overestimate yourself.”

Xiahou Yu sneered in his heart as he looked towards the Fallen Snow Villa. When he saw Qin Lian looking at Xiao Chen with a nervous expression, killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He could tell that Qin Lian’s nervous expression was not because she was afraid that the kid would lose. She wanted to return to the Poison Scorpion Hall with him, but because she was worried that the kid would poison her …

He slowly looked at Xiao Chen, and the cold killing intent in his eyes became even more intense. In his eyes, Qin Lian was already his person, and he would never allow his own woman to worry about the lives of other men …

“This person … is he still able to hold on?”

Outside the Fallen Snow Villa, the people from the Qinling Mountains also began to discuss in low voices. Madam Red Lotus raised her head and looked at the sky. Seeing that the twilight was approaching, she whispered to herself, “It will be dark in another hour. It would be a pity if this brat died of poison …”

Time slowly passed. The expressions on Qin Guan’s and the others’ faces became more and more nervous. If they could see that the poisonous mist on Xiao Chen’s body gradually dissipating, then it would mean that they had a chance to detoxify him. But now, two hours had passed. The poisonous mist attached to his body had not been expelled at all …

Another half an hour passed. The sunset glow on the horizon was like a brocade. Twilight gradually closed in. On the other side of the mountain, the sky had gradually dimmed. On Xiao Chen’s body, the poisonous mist was still shrouded. There was no sign of detoxification at all. However, unlike half an hour ago, cold sweat gradually disappeared from his face.

“It’s getting dark …”

The night breeze blew gently, blowing the willow branches around the villa. The expressions on everyone’s faces became more and more nervous. As the sun’s shadow slanted to the west, their hearts slowly sank. Xiahou Jie’s poison was not something that even Medicine Saint and Medical Saint could cure. How could he cure it …

“There’s still half an hour left. If little friend is unable to cure the poison again, he will probably die from the poison. Now, if little friend admits defeat, this old man can cure the poison for you and save your life. No matter how late it is, even this old man can’t do anything about it …”

Xiahou Jie held the Scorpion Staff in his hand. His gaze was cold as he said calmly.

However, Xiao Chen ignored it, as if he didn’t hear it at all. He continued to sit on the island without moving.

Everyone in the Fallen Snow Villa was already in a state of suspense. Qin Lian tightly gripped his fingers, and even his palms were already covered in sweat. He couldn’t help but say in his heart, “Childe Xiao, admit defeat … Anyway, I’m not going to live long anyway, but I can’t drag you down …”

Anyone could tell that she was not worried about marrying Xiahou Yu, but about Xiao Chen’s safety.

Xiahou Yu laughed coldly in his heart. Qin Lian, Qin Lian, I came here wholeheartedly for you, yet you are worried about the lives of other men, causing me to lose face today. Could it be that you have already fallen in love with him? Forget it, I’ll let you see how his intestines will pierce through his stomach and die later …

Time slowly passed. Finally, under everyone’s nervous gaze, the last glimmer of the setting sun also sank. Darkness gradually arrived, enveloping the entire Sunset Snow Villa. Everything around them became blurry and blurry. Afterwards, lights began to light up one after another.

“It’s been three hours …”

Everyone’s hearts sank. The last half an hour had also quietly passed. However, the layer of poisonous mist on Xiao Chen’s body still did not show any signs of dissipating.

At this moment, Qin Guan and the others’ hearts sank completely. Three hours had passed, but he was still unable to undo the poison on his body.

Xiahou Jie’s gaze was cold. He looked at Xiao Chen and said coldly, “Little friend Xiao, three hours have passed. Have you cured the poison on your body?”

That layer of poisonous mist was still enveloping Xiao Chen, how could it be detoxified?

Everyone’s hearts trembled. As expected of the number one poison expert in the Snow Domain. Who could cure his poison? Not to mention within three hours? Everyone had clearly known the result of this competition from the very beginning, but they couldn’t help but sigh bitterly at this moment.

Suddenly, the poisonous mist on Xiao Chen’s body began to spread, causing his face to turn even paler. The black gas between his eyebrows also became heavier and heavier. It was obvious that the poison was attacking his heart.

“Three hours have passed. He’s poisoned …”

At this moment, everyone was shocked. They remembered what Xiahou Jie had said earlier. If there was no solution within three hours, then even if the heavenly deities descended to the mortal world, they would be unable to return to the heavens …
