66: You have too many flaws! Break through in an instant!
Accompanied by a loud laugh,
Xie Yun walked into the hall, looked at Chen Yi, and smiled, "Good, good, a Saint of Yuhua Sect. You are the first to remain so calm after being poisoned by my Seven Worms Seven Flowers Poison. It's truly admirable!"
But he didn't believe Chen Yi was fine.
One must know, this poisonous pill was his own creation!
In the entire Qingluo Province, he was the only one who knew how to make it, and there was no antidote for this poisonous pill, unless one forced it out with powerful cultivation!
But that would require at least Celestial Human Realm cultivation!
Yet Chen Yi was merely in the Purple Mansion!
Therefore, in his opinion, Chen Yi was certain to die.
But then, a scene that surprised everyone occurred. Chen Yi picked up the pot of poisoned wine, poured himself another cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then another cup.
Cup after cup.
In a blink of an eye, the entire pot of wine was drunk clean by him.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be a bit bewildered.
Was he in a hurry to die?
Why would he do this?
And no one knew the joy in Chen Yi's heart at this moment.
Good heavens, this Seven Worms Seven Flowers Poison Pill was much more potent than the previous Seven Flowers Poison Pill. After drinking this pot of wine, he felt his True Qi increase by a significant amount.
That Bottleneck from Purple Mansion to Nascent Soul Realm was subtly on the verge of breaking through.
He looked at Xie Yun and asked indifferently, "Do you have any more potent poisons?"
"This, this is impossible! How could you be fine?! You, you must be putting on a show, right! Yes, it must be like this!"
"You think you can scare me away like this? You are too naive!"
"I admit, I was a little scared just now, but it's useless. My poison is incurable. At most, you are just enduring with your cultivation now. As soon as you make a move, you will be exposed!"
As Xie Yun spoke, the more he spoke, the more he felt it made sense.
He slowly relaxed.
He was almost scared by this kid!
This person is indeed formidable!
And Chen Yi rolled his eyes. What was this person imagining?
Chen Yi pouted, slowly stood up, and took out his greatsword. Xie Yun immediately became vigilant, but Chen Yi swung his sword...
His target was not Xie Yun!
But City Lord Xia!
City Lord Xia's expression changed, and he instinctively dodged quickly, displaying an extremely profound movement technique. When he moved, everyone was taken aback.
What's going on?
Shouldn't the City Lord be poisoned and unable to move like us?
He was actually faking it!
Chen Yi looked at City Lord Xia indifferently and said, "You and Xie Yun are in cahoots, aren't you!"
City Lord Xia's expression shifted for a moment, then he took a deep breath. "How did you know? Where did I reveal a flaw?"
Chen Yi shook his head, "Too many, your flaws are too many! First, Bai Jing, as a fox demon, has been entrenched in Fenghua City for many years, but you, as the City Lord, were completely unaware. This is unreasonable, unless you deliberately allowed her to exist!
Second, after I killed Bai Jing, you invited me to the City Lord's Mansion. On the way, I never told you that Bai Jing was in the Nascent Soul Realm, yet you blurted out to your daughter that she was in the Nascent Soul Realm, indicating that you had some understanding of her!
Third, I beat your daughter to such an extent, yet you greeted me with a smile and showed no anger at all. Either you are a coward, or you have other motives, and a coward cannot sit in the position of City Lord.
Fourth, the wine for the Treasure Appreciation Event was procured by your City Lord's Mansion and was for entertaining the dignitaries of Fenghua City. Logically speaking, it should have been strictly controlled and impossible to be easily poisoned, unless you were in cahoots with the poisoner.
Fifth, after being poisoned, with your cultivation, you could have at least held on for a longer period, yet you eagerly wanted to distance yourself and immediately faked being poisoned. This, on the contrary, made you appear guilty. Your acting is too poor.
Sixth... forget it.
Your flaws are simply too numerous, so much so that I need to take notes to remember them all. I don't even know how you, with that brain, became the City Lord..."
Chen Yi said a lot.
Finally, he looked at City Lord Xia with a gaze that seemed to be looking at an idiot.
City Lord Xia was stunned.
He actually revealed so many flaws??
No.
Chen Yi actually observed so many flaws?!
Is this guy really a Lenglutouqing who is experiencing the world for the first time?
Why does he feel more like an old fox than an old fox?!
Damn it!
City Lord Xia cursed inwardly, then his face darkened to the point of dripping water. He said coldly, "Good, good, Chen Yi! Your intelligence is not inferior to your cultivation talent, but so what?!
You are already poisoned! You have no chance of turning the tide!"
And Chen Yi shook his head, "Seriously, I find it unbelievable that you can be the City Lord. A pig might even be more suitable for this position than you."
"What did you say!?"
City Lord Xia was furious.
"I've told you so many flaws, and you still think I'm poisoned?" Chen Yi sighed.
He seemed to think City Lord Xia was truly hopelessly stupid.
The next second.
His figure flashed, and the Phantom Shadow Movement Technique was unleashed.
In a blink of an eye, he rushed towards City Lord Xia.
City Lord Xia let out a cold shout, "Courting death! How could you be my opponent?!"
He was at Nascent Soul Realm Perfection!!
Even if Chen Yi wasn't poisoned, he couldn't be his opponent!
He struck out with a palm, clashing with the heavy sword in Chen Yi's hand.
However, Chen Yi used the momentum to retreat, and the Phantom Shadow Movement Technique was unleashed again, as he flashed to Summer Banquet's side!
Summer Banquet was not poisoned; she had known the wine was poisoned long ago and therefore hadn't drunk it. But what good was it that she wasn't poisoned?
How could Chen Yi be someone she could resist?
Just as Summer Banquet was about to pull out her long whip, Chen Yi grabbed her shoulder, and with a 'crack', dislocated one of her arms.
"Ahhh!!"
Summer Banquet let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Seeing this scene, City Lord Xia's eyes were bloodshot. "Chen Yi! How dare you, a Saint of a righteous sect, do something like holding a weak woman hostage!"
Chen Yi said indifferently, "Weak woman? Are you an idiot? Do you call a female demon in the Golden Core Realm, who has killed who knows how many people, a weak woman?"
"What exactly do you want?"
"Simple, you kill Xie Yun, and I'll release her!"
Chen Yi said.
Xie Yun's expression on the side changed slightly. "City Lord Xia, don't listen to him!"
Things changed too quickly.
And it didn't match his plan at all!
How did Chen Yi not get poisoned?
He hadn't thought about this in detail yet.
But now, he had to face the possible forced killing from City Lord Xia!
It should have been him forcing Chen Yi into a desperate situation, so how did it turn around and become him being forced into a desperate situation by the other party??
This guy is too terrifying!
The trap he set was actually easily broken by the other party!
"City Lord Xia, this child's methods are by no means those of an ordinary righteous sect. Even if you listen to him and kill me, he may not necessarily let your daughter go! Moreover, if you fight me and both of us are injured, he certainly won't let you go either!"
"I have a plan!"
Xie Yun was indeed an Elder of the Demonic Path. His mind raced, and he immediately thought of a solution. He said, "Chen Yi! Don't think that holding Summer Banquet hostage can turn the tide! Look around you, these dignitaries of Fenghua City are all poisoned. Besides me, no one has the antidote!
How about this, you release Summer Banquet, and I'll detoxify them?
You only have one hostage in your hand, but I have dozens here! One for dozens, it's simply too good a deal!"
