234 Making a Move
Outside Huai Dan City.
A thin mist of blood spread across the barren mountains and plains.
Broken limbs piled up into small mountains, and thick blood gathered into streams, flowing toward the low-lying area. The blood-colored streams eventually ran side by side, turning into blood-colored ponds and low-lying areas.
A soldier with an indifferent expression carried a flag with the words âPeace Under the Worldâ written on it in black on a red background and headed for the mountain peak. They followed the blood-colored streams and went against the current.
When he reached the top of the mountain, a hint of fear flashed across his indifferent expression, and he clenched the flag in his hand hesitantly.
âSir, according to the rules, the flag should be set at the highest pointâŠâ
In his eyes, a young man with shoulder-length hair stood up at an inappropriate time. Like a lionâs thick hair, it swayed in the wind.
His entire body was covered in blood, and his strong muscles made him look even more burly. However, he looked more like a beast than a human. Beneath his feet were piles of corpses that looked like mountains.
âAh, leave it to me.â The young man stood up and took the flag with the words âPeace Under the Worldâ and planted the flag into the ground.
The soldiers who were originally carrying the flag had already fled.
âI have never seen a genius like youâŠâ
A man in a black robe walked over from behind and stood side by side with the young man.
The black-robed man continued, âThere have been countless people who wore this armor, but most of them died in three days. The longest record before you was only half a month⊠yet youâve been wearing this armor for half a year, and not only have you not shown any abnormalities, but even your bones seem to have changed.â The black-robed man clicked his tongue in wonder.
âAre they dead or have they turned into something else?â The youth opened his mouth and spat out a shocking heat wave in the air.
The next moment, the hair on his body actually shortened, and his ridiculously strong muscles turned into blood-red streams that returned to his chest and back.
KakakaâŠ
The bones in the young manâs body also began to crack. In just a few breaths of time, the youth had become much thinner. The armor on his body also revealed its original appearance, sticking to his body like a complete piece of rotten meat.
âWhy do you care about this? I gave you the strength to complete your revenge. You let me see what I wanted to see⊠Isnât it just nice?â The black-robed man smiled brightly. âIn just half a year, you have killed a great blood refinement martial artist. Moreover, you have killed two of them at onceâŠâ
âThatâs because my master taught me well,â the young man said in a slightly wooden tone.
He was able to kill two great blood refinement martial artists by himself. His exquisite poison technique played an important role.
When he thought of poison techniques, he couldnât help but think of Qin Huai.
The young man was none other than Hu Jinghai, who had been taken in by the people of Baiqi Mountain like a stray dog. He seemed to have discovered his own unique talent.
âMasterâŠâ
A strange look flashed across the black-robed manâs eyes.
Qin Huai, who was far away in Lingjiang City, was not in a good situation even though he was talented.
âBrat, the order came from the sect. From today onwards, you are the third weapon of my Hundred Weapons Mountain.â The black-robed man patted Hu Jinghaiâs shoulder.
âWhatâs the use of this third weapon title?â Hu Jinghai asked. âIn terms of class, your status is higher than mine.â
âBut this is Lingjiang county, I have the final say.â The black-robed man laughed.
âWhat if I want to kill Song Ya?â Hu Jinghai said.
âYou only have one chance.â The black-robed man shrugged.
âThen⊠Whatâs the price?â Hu Jinghai looked up at the black-robed man.
âIn a few days, you will have a new set of armor shipped over from the Hundred Weapons Mountain.â
âUnderstood.â Hu Jinghai did not hesitate. He had no right to refuse.
âIf in the end, this armor is mine, or⊠Iâm in armor?â he raised another question.
âI donât know. No one knows.â
âŠ
In the Zhang familyâs courtyard.
Zhang Haoyueâs door was pushed open quietly.
âYoung Master, we got the item.â
A shifty-looking middle-aged man walked up to Zhang Haoyue. He held a sack and slowly placed it on the ground, looking very anxious.
âYoung Master, itâs really not easy to get something that can poison a ninth refinement martial artist to death. Moreover, you didnât buy the finished product. You even asked me to buy the medicinal ingredients in batches and buy the formula to make it myself. What are you trying to doâŠâ The middle-aged man complained as he untied the sack.
If Qin Huai was here, he would be able to recognize them at a glance. These medicinal herbs were very old poisons and priceless treasures.
âWhat do you know? Every bit of risk is worth it. These medicinal ingredients were all bought from the Fengxing Auction House?â Zhang Haoyue asked again.
âOf course, Iâm just following your orders⊠Besides, they couldnât be sold anywhere else. However, you donât have to worry. The Fengxing Auction House is a big force and will definitely not sell the information of its customers, so itâs safest to buy it from them. No one will know.
âBesides, Iâve been friends with their manager for thirty years. Our relationship is very close!â The middle-aged man patted his chest.
âThank you for your hard work. You must make this poison before tomorrow night.â
âUnderstood!â
âŠ
The next day, night fell quietly.
Qin Huai sat in the courtyard, reading the letter Ge Youqian had sent him.
The letter said that someone from the Zhang family had suddenly bought a batch of extremely poisonous medicinal herbs through the Fengxing Auction House.
The manager had already been taken into custody by Ge Youqianâs men. Ge Youqian was asking Qin Huai if he had any news.
