“Misunderstanding?”
Jiang Xiaobai, hovering in mid-air, scoffed with a cold smile, “A single word of ‘misunderstanding’ makes it all good? If it wasn’t for my timely discovery, I would probably be dead by now. You dare talk to me about a ‘misunderstanding’ after something this serious?”
“So what do you propose?”
Teeth clenched, Feng Liangfei retorted, his eyes bloodshot as he stared hard at Jiang Xiaobai, “Don’t push your luck, kid. Even if you poisoned me, I could still drag you down with me before I die.”
“You’re welcome to try.”
Jiang Xiaobai casually responded with a smirk. As soon as his words fell, another person suddenly clutched their chest and fell to the ground vomiting blood. They showed exactly the same symptoms as before – evidently, the poison was taking effect!
Witnessing this, Feng Liangfei’s gaze turned venomous. His eyes burned with resentment and hatred as he looked at Jiang Xiaobai.
It was ludicrous. As the city lord, he was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and had three other Nascent Soul experts keeping guard within his mansion.
Yet two of his men had died, and he was poisoned, without even having seen the enemy. The frustration was driving Feng Liangfei to the edge of madness.
“Don’t overestimate your worth. Don’t think I won’t get rid of you. I have nothing to lose now and can ensure that you die alongside me.” Feng Liangfei growled through gritted teeth.
Jiang Xiaobai in mid-air merely laughed coldly. Then he took out the Rainbow Abyss, a powerful treasure from his storage space.
“I’ve had enough of your nonsense. If you try to harm me, you will face severe consequences!”
Jiang Xiaobai snorted and swung his longsword in the air. Immediately, a ray of sword light whizzed towards Feng Liangfei.
Feng Liangfei desperately tried to block it but, just at that crucial moment, the Bone Erosion Pill within his body began to take effect, causing indescribable agony.
Feng Liangfei spat out fresh blood and narrowly evaded the sword light aimed at his neck.
His son, unfortunately, did not have the same luck. Even though the attacker was only at the Golden Core Stage, he had been killed on the spot by Jiang Xiaobai before the Bone Erosion Pill could take effect.
Upon seeing his son’s lifeless body, Feng Liangfei was consumed by rage.
“You bastard! I will kill you! I will kill you!”
With an enraged roar, Feng Liangfei leaped into the air in an attempt to murder Jiang Xiaobai, only to be met by a flurry of sword light. His severely injured body could not withstand the divine power of the swordplay.
Squish, squish!
The sword light pierced his body, leaving several vast, bowl-sized bloody holes. His eyes bulging in disbelief, he stared at Jiang Xiaobai.
He had been defeated, and utterly humiliated at that?
“You… will not… die well…’
With these bitter words, Feng Liangfei died on the spot. Concurrently, another expert from the city lord’s mansion succumbed to the effects of the Bone Erosion Pill and dropped dead.
Jiang Xiaobai had dispatched his opponents with ease. He had made light work of wiping out the entire city lord’s mansion.
While it would have been easy for Jiang Xiaobai to crush these people, he preferred giving them a taste of their own medicine.
You want to poison me? Alright then. Let’s see how you handle it yourself.
Whether or not they could stand it was their problem now.
After annihilating the city lord’s mansion, Jiang Xiaobai looked indifferent as usual. He nonchalantly collected the storage rings from the corpses and scanned the entire premise with his divine sense. He didn’t find anything like a treasury.
With nothing left to do there, Jiang Xiaobai picked up the stunned Qin Nianxue and made a beeline for the Qin Family Mansion.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived above the Qin Family Mansion. Qin Zheng was still engaged in fierce combat with the two adversaries. The power he displayed under such desperate circumstances was so intense that Liu Dongsheng and the elderly man in the black robe hardly knew how to handle him.
The people Liu Dongsheng had brought along had already been wiped out by the Poisoned Dan Jiang Bai had left behind at the Qin Family Mansion.
“Well done! ”
Carrying the confused Qin Nianxue, Jiang Xiaobai arrived above the Qin Family.
The three combatants below sensed this and instantly dispersed. Liu Dongsheng and his accomplice then turned their shocked gazes towards Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai had not immediately assisted Qin Zheng in dealing with Liu Dongsheng and the others because he knew the city lord’s mansion would inevitably get involved. Without their support, Liu Dongsheng wouldn’t have had the audacity to attack the Qin Family within Four Seas City.
If Jiang Xiaobai had joined the fray then, the city lord’s mansion, upon finding their scheme exposed, would certainly have sent reinforcements, which would have put them in a very passive situation.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai had explained the situation to Qin Zheng beforehand and gone to deal with the city lord’s mansion himself. No, not dealt with them.
He had effectively poisoned them. This was the only way he could deal with several Nascent Soul Stage experts without risking his own life.
Now that Jiang Xiaobai had suddenly showed up, Liu Dongsheng and his accomplice were utterly shocked.
“It’s nothing. I never imagined Mr. Jiang could hide his true abilities so well.” Qin Zheng said while panting heavily, looking at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Lord Qin, you can rest for a while now.” Jiang Xiaobai took out his longsword, bracing for battle.
Looking at Jiang Xiaobai, Liu Dongsheng and his accomplice were dumbstruck.
This was surreal! How are we supposed to fight!
Matching up to Qin Zheng was already a taxing task, let alone dealing with Jiang Xiaobai as well. Liu Dongsheng and his accomplice could only see their doom.
At this moment, Liu Dongsheng’s eyes flamed red as he stared at Qin Zheng, “Qin Zheng, you are truly underhanded!”
“Heh, you outplay me when it comes to underhanded tactics. You’ve been planning for today for a long time, haven’t you?” Qin Zheng snorted.
Liu Dongsheng’s face twitched, the appearance of Jiang Xiaobai was something he hadn’t anticipated. And now, continuing the battle no longer made sense.
They failed to annihilate the Qin Family today.
“Damn it! Let’s get out of here!”
Liu Dongsheng coldly sneered, turned around, and fled. The man in the black robe followed suit, disappearing from sight.
The unexpected attack and mysterious retreat left the surviving Qin Family members in shock.
Fortunately, the Qin Family still stood.
After successfully fending off Liu Dongshengs attack, Qin Zheng’s face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he spouted a mouthful of blood.
“Father, are you alright?”
Witnessing this, Qin Nianxue shouted anxiously.
Qin Zheng waved his hand, seemingly weak, and leaning on the wall for support, he flashed a wry smile, “It’s nothing… just a little internal injury.”
Since he had tapped into his full potential under such desperate circumstances, he was inevitably going to sustain internal injuries.
Fortunately, after a brief examination by Jiang Xiaobai, it was clear there were no serious injuries. Qin Zheng felt a bit better after taking a pill given by Jiang Xiaobai.
“Lord Qin, what’s your plan for the future? The city lord’s mansion is gone now. It’s likely that the Thousand Yuan Dynasty will come looking for you.” Jiang Xiaobai queried.
Qin Zheng let out a hoarse laugh, “What does it have to do with me? The city lord’s mansion wasn’t destroyed by my family. Also, no matter what, Liu
Dongsheng is fully culpable for launching an attack on my family, a problem that has nothing to do with the Qin Family.”
“Jiang Bai, you need to leave immediately. If the Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s people arrive, you’ll be in trouble!” Qin Nianxue urged from his side.
Just as Jiang Xiaobai was about to nod in agreement, they felt a terrifying pressure. Suddenly, a man clad in silver armor appeared in mid-air.
“Who is causing trouble in Four Seas City?”
