Zi You was stunned. She had been careless. She had intended to watch them die trapped in the secret passage, which was why she hadn't blocked the entrance.
Now look what's happened, that brat actually used the wind direction to find the way out.
Before she could react, Chu Jiuqing and the others had already arrived. She quickly got up and ran forward.
Chen Qingqing saw a dark figure flash by not far away. "Zi You, today is your death day. Where do you think you can run to?"
"You brat, you actually managed to find the Gate of Life by sheer luck." Zi You let out a cold laugh. "So what if you found the Gate of Life? If you're so capable, come here and see how I deal with you."
Zi You was already feeling apprehensive. This brat had broken her poison array. If she stayed, she probably wouldn't be a match for Chu Jiuqing and the others. But she couldn't lose face. She spoke tough words, but her speed didn't slow down at all.
Chen Qingqing gave a cold laugh and quickened her pace, chasing after Zi You relentlessly.
Chu Jiuqing dared not slacken in the slightest and followed closely behind with his sword.
Chasing the wind and the moon followed closely behind.
After a rapid dash, the group unknowingly emerged from the secret passage.
Outside the secret passage, the moon was already high in the sky. Looking around by its light, a large meadow stretched out before them.
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred, and Chu Jiuqing drew his sword and began to fight Zi You.
Chasing the Wind and Chasing the Moon also joined the battle.
Chen Qingqing knew the severity of Zi You's poisoning and kept a close eye on Zi You's movements.
Taking advantage of Zi You's inattention, he raised his crossbow and shot it at her.
Zi You dodged the attack with a swift movement, then sneered, "You damned bitch, today I'll take your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light shot straight towards Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing was prepared and quickly dodged the attack.
Zi You didn't stop, and swung her sword forward again, the blade flashing like lightning as it pierced towards Chen Qingqing. "You brat, you ruined my plans, prepare to die!"
Upon seeing this, Chu Jiuqing flashed and instantly appeared in front of Zi You, his long sword whistling as he slashed down.
Zi You quickly dodged, a cold glint in her eyes. "You damned things, I'm going to kill you all."
After saying that, he raised his hand and threw it, and a thick black smoke immediately surrounded the group.
Chen Qingqing hadn't expected Zi You to be so troublesome. Even after being attacked by several people in turn, she could still release poison. Her skills were indeed remarkable.
At this moment, Chu Jiuqing, shrouded in the poisonous fog, felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground.
Even those chasing the wind and moon felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
"Hahaha, you've been poisoned by my deadly poison, you're doomed!" Zi You laughed wildly after succeeding.
Chen Qingqing immediately activated her poison space, analyzed the poison, identified the type of toxin, and quickly took out the antidote from the space and swallowed it.
Just as she was about to hand the antidote to Chu Jiuqing, Zi You was already close by, raising her knife to slash at her, "You brat, prepare to die!"
"Zi You, you think you can stump me with just Soul-Devouring Poison? Is that all you've got?" Chen Qingqing sneered. "Since you like using poison so much, then I'll give it back to you."
Having said that, he quickly threw the poison in his hand at Zi You.
Zi You's face paled. The poisons she had researched were unparalleled in the world, so how could this brat be able to cure them all?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
While she was still in a daze, she felt a handful of powder being thrown at her.
It was too late to dodge; the poison powder had already settled on her arm.
Instantly, the stained skin turned black at a visible speed, accompanied by a stinging sensation.
Her eyes flashed with even more murderous intent as she stared intently at Chen Qingqing. "You brat, how dare you use the Bone-Corroding Powder!"
"Why not? Don't think you're the only one who can poison people. If I were to poison you, you wouldn't have a chance to live."
Zi You laughed arrogantly, "You brat, keep bragging. I am the Poison King of the Western Regions. What can a mere Bone-Corroding Powder do to me? There is no poison in the world that I cannot cure."
After saying that, she looked around, quickly bent down, grabbed a handful of herbs from the ground, stuffed them into her mouth, chewed them quickly, and applied the chewed herbs to her arm. In a short while, her arm was completely healed.
Zi You grinned maliciously, "You little brat, you dare to show off your skills in front of me? Stop with your tricks, you'll all die today!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. Zi You was truly formidable, able to find the antidote so easily.
Chu Jiuqing and the others are now poisoned and have lost their fighting ability.
In terms of martial arts, he was no match for Zi You.
As the saying goes, outsmart the strong and capture the weak.
You can't use brute force to deal with Zi You; you need to find a way to kill her, otherwise you'll be the one who dies.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he had an idea.
He then smiled at Zi You, who was not far away.
"As expected of the Poison King of the Western Regions, you were able to easily neutralize my Bone-Corroding Powder. However, I'm not convinced. I want to test my skills against you. I wonder if you dare?"
Zi You curled the corners of her lips, her eyes full of disdain. "You ignorant fool, how can you compare?"
"Since you call yourself the Poison King, it's only fair that we compare whose poison is more potent."
"Hahaha..." Zi You burst into wild laughter, "There really are people in this world who overestimate themselves. You actually dare to challenge me to a poison contest. Fine, I agree. How do you want to compete?"
Chen Qingqing smiled calmly, "The method is very simple. We each take out what we consider to be the strongest poison, and then let the other person take it. Whoever dies first loses."
"Alright, you said it yourself, so I'll grant your request and show you the power of the Poison King of the Western Regions." Zi You was confident. She had been immersed in various poisons since childhood, eating them like snacks. Her body was already immune to all poisons, and she believed that no poison could kill her.
Chen Qingqing raised an eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Alright, bring out what you consider to be the most potent poison in the world!"
"Hahaha... Just wait to die!" Zi You casually pulled out a small jade bottle and smiled smugly. "Little girl, your courage is commendable. Although you are ignorant of your own limitations, I can't bear to let you suffer. This is my carefully crafted 'Heart-Corroding Powder.' Once you take it, you will die instantly without any pain. You can go on your way in peace!"
"You're the one who should be on the road!" Chen Qingqing scoffed. She knew there was no such thing as invulnerability to all poisons; there were simply various antidotes. She didn't believe Zi You could withstand such advanced and potent poisons.
Thinking of this, he already had a bottle of pesticide in his hand.
"Zi You, didn't you think you were immune to all poisons? This bottle contains my secret 'Water of Death'. If you're so capable, drink this bottle of poison."
After saying that, he threw the bottle of poison in his hand at Zi You...
