Azi chuckled and retorted, "Why can't I save Kumārajīva?"
Li Huan said, "Kumārajīva is treacherous and vicious. In order to help the Tibetan prince become the son-in-law of the Western Xia, he cruelly murdered Duan Yu and Murong Fu. This bastard deserves to die!"
Azi said, "Didn't Kumārajīva fail? What harm is there in me saving his life?"
Li Huan's tone was stern as he reprimanded, "Little Azi! How can you not distinguish right from wrong? No wonder you've gone astray!"
Azi said, "Kumārajīva is the national teacher of Tibet. I not only saved him, but also became his disciple. Moreover, the prince of Tibet has proposed to me!"
Holy crap!
Prince Zongzan actually proposed to Azi!
Li Huan was even more shocked.
Has that guy lost his mind?
Azhu exclaimed in surprise, "Azi, how could you become a disciple of Kumārajīva? And how could you marry a prince of Tibet? You've been so foolish!"
Azi said with a smile, "You are allowed to marry the Southern King of Liao, but I am not allowed to marry the prince of Tibet? What kind of logic is that? Tell me in detail?"
In an instant, Azhu was speechless.
Azi said, "As the saying goes, people strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill! I will marry the prince of Tibet, and from now on I will be the empress, admired by thousands, and enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
There was a murmur of discussion at the scene.
Li Huan understood.
It must have been Kumārajīva who introduced Azi to Prince Zongzan to express his gratitude.
Li Huan said, "Little Azi, why didn't you enjoy wealth and luxury in Tibet? What are you doing in Suzhou? And why did you secretly poison the food?"
Azi said, "You tried to starve my master, Kumārajīva, to death in a dry well. I participated in the 'Martial Arts Culinary Tournament' in Suzhou City to avenge my master!"
Li Huan couldn't help but sneer.
No wonder Ah Zi said she wanted to use her hidden weapon skills; she was proficient in various hidden weapons and poison techniques.
If I'm not mistaken, Kumārajīva was also disguised and hiding at the scene.
Li Huan said, "Kumārajīva, what the hell are you pretending for? Show yourself now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man with a full beard stepped out from the crowd.
He reached out and removed the mask from his face, revealing his true identity.
Kumārajīva!
"Li Huan! You blocked the well with a stone, trying to starve me to death! Today, I will avenge you!"
Kumārajīva glared at Li Huan, his expression furious.
Li Huan laughed and said, "How did that frog taste? You ate raw frog meat, breaking your vow against eating meat. Did you repent before Buddha?"
Enraged, Kumārajīva pointed at Li Huan and said, "Quickly cripple your martial arts and kneel down to beg for mercy! Otherwise, Xiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and the others will suffer unbearable pain, wishing they were dead!"
Li Huan questioned, "Little Azi, what poison did you put in the food?"
Azi said smugly, "This poison is a secret concoction made by Ding Chunqiu, called the Five Poisons Soul-Summoning Powder! It is made from apricot blossoms contaminated with miasma, poisonous vines from Miao territory, and five other poisonous substances!"
"After taking the 'Five Poisons Soul-Snatching Powder,' he was in excruciating pain. The more he used his internal energy to resist the poison, the deeper the poisoning became! Three days later, he lost all his martial arts skills!"
Li Huan's heart skipped a beat.
Holy crap, there's no "Five Poisons Soul-Stimulating Powder" in the poison and antidote stores of the "God-Level Lunch Box System"!
Azi said, "Li Huan, what are you standing there for? Quickly kneel down to my master and cripple your martial arts!"
Li Huan frowned slightly.
You think I'll cripple myself? You're dreaming!
In an instant, Li Huan channeled his energy into his right palm, preparing to capture Azi and Kumārajīva.
"Li Huan! Don't even think about ambushing me!"
Ah Zi warned in a shrill voice.
"The antidote for the Five Poisons Soul-Summoning Powder is hidden in a secret place; it's not on me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Huan immediately stopped working.
If they do not take the antidote, Xiao Feng and Xu Zhu will not only suffer from painful torment, but will also lose their martial arts skills after three days.
Dozens of people at the scene were poisoned by the "Five Poisons Soul-Snatching Powder." They were all masters from various sects and had prominent statuses in the martial arts world.
As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Li Huan cannot stand by and watch people die without helping them; otherwise, how can he be the leader?
But to make me kneel down in public and cripple my martial arts skills is absolutely impossible!
Azhu said anxiously, "Azi, Xiao Lang is your brother-in-law, how could you poison him?"
Azi said, "Sister, I never thought that my brother-in-law would also be poisoned. Who knew that he would also go on stage to taste the dishes? If anyone is to blame, it's Murong Fu. He's the one who let my brother-in-law go on stage!"
Murong Fu hurriedly said, "I invited someone of high moral standing and noble status to the stage to taste the dishes. Was I wrong? If you hadn't secretly poisoned him, how could Xiao Feng have fallen victim to it?"
Azi said, "Enough nonsense! Li Huan, why don't you cripple your martial arts?"
Li Huan slowly raised his right palm: "Fine! I'll cripple my martial arts..."
Bang!
Li Huan suddenly struck out with his palm, sending A Zi flying, and then struck out with another palm, sending Kumārajīva flying!
The two men were thrown more than ten meters away, coughing up blood, and lying on the ground.
A'Zhu hurriedly said, "Alliance Leader Li! Show mercy!"
Li Huan ignored A Zhu, strode up to A Zi, grabbed her by the collar, pulled her up, and threw her at Duan Yu's feet.
Duan Yu used the Six Meridian Divine Sword to seal A Zi's acupoints, preventing her from escaping.
Immediately afterwards, Li Huan grabbed Kumārajīva by the collar, threw him up with all his might, and hurled him onto the flagpole.
Kumārajīva's collar was hanging from the top of the flagpole, and his whole body was swaying in mid-air.
Li Huan laughed and said, "Young Master Murong, the flagpole you sent someone to buy is really damn sturdy. There's a person hanging on it, and it hasn't broken!"
Murong Fu said, "I have done my best to organize the 'Martial Arts Culinary Tournament,' striving for perfection in every aspect, even down to a single flagpole!"
Li Huan made a casual joke, which Murong Fu took as a compliment and used as an opportunity to show off.
Kumārajīva swung in mid-air, his face deathly pale, daring not to shout or move.
Clearly, after Duan Yu drained his internal energy, his martial arts were completely ruined and could not be restored.
Li Huan glared at A Zi: "If you don't hand over the antidote, I'll let you taste the 'Life and Death Talisman'!"
Instead of being afraid, Azi laughed loudly: "Hahaha... You dare to plant the 'Life and Death Talisman' on me, you'll never get the antidote for the 'Five Poisons Soul-Summoning Powder'!"
"Trading my master Kumārajīva's two lives for thirty-three others is still a good deal!"
Azhu said, "Azi, stop fooling around! Hand over the antidote now!"
Ah Zi snorted, adopting a posture of unyielding defiance.
Li Huan said, "A'Zhu, on one side is your husband Xiao Feng, and on the other side is your sister A'Zi. I know you are conflicted, but with the safety of more than thirty people involved, I have no choice but to be ruthless!"
After saying that, Li Huan grabbed a teapot from a distance and quickly poured tea into his palm.
A'Zhu was frantic: "A'Zi! Hand over the antidote now! Otherwise, you'll really be cursed with a life-or-death talisman by Alliance Leader Li! You'll be left wishing for death!"
A look of fear flashed in Azi's eyes, but she still stubbornly said, "I just won't hand it over! Let's see who can outlast whom!"
Li Huan used his internal energy to release extremely cold true qi, turning the tea in his palm into thin slices of ice.
"Wait!" A'Zhu stepped in front of A'Zi...
