Swish!
An old man took out a handful of powder from his robe and threw it at Lin Mengjiao and Chen Jie.
Chen Jie's eyes narrowed, and he stomped his foot.
A surge of internal energy was released, repelling the powder.
But Lin Mengjiao was not so lucky; she was hit directly.
Ah!
Lin Mengjiao cried out, stumbling backward.
She felt her blood surge and her movements become sluggish.
Her pretty face instantly changed.
"Girl, you've been hit by my Jue Ming San, prepare to die!" the Poison Elder cackled.
"You're seeking death!"
Lin Mengjiao's expression turned stern, and she was about to retaliate, but a wave of dizziness washed over her.
"She's poisoned! Let's attack together and kill her!" A Xuan-level expert, seeing the opportunity, charged at Lin Mengjiao.
"Even poisoned, I'm not someone you lowly ants can contend with! You're seeking death!"
Lin Mengjiao wielded her soft sword, and with a few swift slashes, several people became her fallen victims.
Meanwhile, Lin Mengjiao felt the poison within her grow more potent.
The Poison Elder sneered, "Girl, the more you circulate your energy, the faster the poison will spread throughout your body."
"Is that so? Then I'll kill you first!" Lin Mengjiao gritted her teeth and lunged at the Poison Elder.
Unexpectedly, the Poison Elder retreated, disappearing into the crowd. He reached into his pocket, waiting for an opportune moment.
Lin Mengjiao, on the other hand, grew increasingly weak, even her vision blurring.
"Despicable!" Lin Mengjiao spat.
"In a life-and-death match, what 'despicable' is there to speak of? I can only say you're too foolish! Die!" Another Di-level martial artist, hidden in the crowd, suddenly appeared and struck at Lin Mengjiao with his palm. Kuaishu Ge
Lin Mengjiao was completely unaware of this, not even attempting to block.
Bang!
A palm met his.
The Di-level expert cried out in pain and was sent flying off the martial arts stage, collapsing on the ground, unconscious.
Chen Jie stood beside Lin Mengjiao, placing his hand on her shoulder. "You don't need to fight anymore. Focus on expelling the poison."
"Master, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed you," Lin Mengjiao said guiltily.
"You've done very well," Chen Jie replied.
What?
The crowd looked at Chen Jie in disbelief.
The Poison Elder's face turned grim. "You're not poisoned?"
But then he sneered, "If I were you, I'd obediently kneel and beg for mercy. After being hit by my Jue Ming San, without my antidote, you're as good as dead."
"Boy, kneel and accept your death!"
"As long as you kneel and accept your death, I'll give your disciple the antidote! You don't want your sexy disciple to perish like this, do you?"
"We are going to kill you now. If you dare to retaliate, I will immediately destroy the antidote!"
The Poison Elder produced a jade bottle and signaled to a group of Xuan-level experts.
"Master! No!" Lin Mengjiao cried out, trying to stop him.
She had already made up her mind. If Chen Jie truly compromised, she would end her own life on the spot, refusing to be a burden.
This…
Below the stage, Zhou Shu and Yi Zhentian's faces turned pale.
If Chen Jie compromised, they might also be in danger.
In the distance, Fang Rong and Yin Chuji laughed triumphantly.
"They don't even need to send out a Tian-level expert. He's finished!"
Yin Chuji chuckled, "Even if he abandons his disciple, his actions will surely be ridiculed. Won't Wang Xiaoyan immediately dump him?"
At this moment, Jiang Xue was in a panic.
She took out her phone and repeatedly dialed a number.
This was the number left by the Tian-level expert, Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng.
"Damn it, what's going on? Why is he missing at such a critical moment?" Jiang Xue was extremely anxious.
On the stage, the Poison Elder shouted, "Attack! Kill him!"
"Stop! I, Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng, am here! Who dares to act recklessly?"
Suddenly, a stern shout echoed.
A figure of an old man leaped out, landing heavily on the stage. His immense aura stirred up a gust of wind.
"He actually came?" Jiang Xue exclaimed, clenching her fist excitedly.
"Chen Jie, Chen Jie, I ultimately saved your life! Let's see how you'll thank me later!" Jiang Xue thought to herself.
"A Tian-level expert!"
On stage, the Poison Elder and another Di-level expert shuddered, their faces full of disbelief.
Then, the Poison Elder asked gravely, "Who are you? Are you going to oppose the Martial Arts Association?"
Jiang Xue shouted loudly, "Help Chen Jie!"
"Bah!" Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng suddenly spat in Jiang Xue's direction.
Then, he scornfully said, "Do you really think I would offend the Martial Arts Association for mere Chen Jie?"
What?
Jiang Xue trembled, her face filled with incredulity.
Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng then announced to the crowd with a smile, "Heh heh, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Liu Feng, and my nickname is Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng. I have long wished to join the Martial Arts Association, so I intend to use this opportunity to teach Chen Jie a lesson on behalf of the association!"
Liu Feng pointed at Jiang Xue. "Before this, I was already aware of your grievances, and I even tricked Chen Jie's friend, Jiang Xue, out of one hundred million! I will donate this one hundred million as a token of my goodwill to the Martial Arts Association, what do you say?"
Fang Tai stood up and smiled, "Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng, what are your terms?"
"My terms are simple: I want to be the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association!" Liu Feng declared.
Fang Tai chuckled, "Very well, as the President, I agree to your terms! That one hundred million will be the champion's reward for today!"
Below, Jiang Xue's body shook.
In an instant, her face turned ashen.
On stage, Chen Jie looked towards Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue immediately lowered her head in shame.
This time, not only had she failed to help Chen Jie, but she had indirectly harmed him.
The things on the internet are truly unreliable!
"Jiang Xue, you are so stupid! How could you be so foolish! Chen Jie, I'm sorry, I've caused you harm!" Jiang Xue clenched her fists and murmured.
"President Kuang Feng, although you are powerful, it is not yet time for you to act. Let us handle this Chen Jie," the Poison Elder said politely to Liu Feng, cupping his fists.
Liu Feng nodded. He had originally intended to show off his skills to join the Martial Arts Association. Now that he had achieved his desired outcome, there was no need for him to act.
He then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Boy, if you dare to retaliate, I will be the first to kill you, understand?"
"Insolent." Chen Jie said calmly.
"Scum, you're still so arrogant, I'll kill you!"
Several Xuan-level martial artists, feeling immensely confident, charged at Chen Jie.
With a Tian-level expert present, they were certain Chen Jie would not dare to retaliate.
Swish!
Chen Jie waved his hand, and Lin Mengjiao's soft sword flew into his grasp from beside her.
What kind of technique is this?
Several people on stage exclaimed.
"You are too weak," Chen Jie stated plainly.
Then, Chen Jie swung his soft sword.
With a swish,噗噗…
A few light sounds.
The attackers rushing towards Chen Jie, without even understanding what had happened, were already separated into two pieces.
Liu Feng's eyes narrowed, and a hint of shock appeared in the depths of his pupils.
"His speed is astonishingly fast. Could it be that he is also a Tian-level?"
