Chapter 494: Chapter 165: Killing Gu Qingfeng with a Palm Strike, Obtaining the Secret Treasure (Please Subscribe)_5

Gu Qingfeng aimed the metal cylinder at Chen Jie, a solemn expression appearing on Chen Jie’s face.

”The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, it really is troublesome!”

Thinking so, Gu Qingfeng laughed, ”How about it, Chen Jiusi, I admit you are formidable, but no matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than this Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle that can injure someone in the Holding Core Realm?”

”What, not convinced?”

Gu Qingfeng looked at Chen Jie, gesturing with the metal cylinder in his hand.

”Want to give it a try?”

Gu Qingfeng continued to intimidate Chen Jie, who didn’t respond but instead walked around Gu Qingfeng. This time he didn’t intend to walk in a straight line but in an S-pattern to dodge the target.

Chen Jie was uncertain whether the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle was real or fake, but he did know the thing was indeed formidable. It had just flown past his ear, and although he reacted, he couldn’t stop it.

The power behind that one needle was indeed formidable, easily piercing through trees.

If it were to hit the head, it could be very dangerous.

Thinking this, Chen Jie circled Gu Qingfeng in two steps as if observing a troublesome prey like a ferocious beast.

Gu Qingfeng held the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle always pointed at Chen Jie.

Was the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle real?

The answer was yes.

Gu Qingfeng and his brother Gu Qingshan had a fortuitous encounter when they were young, stumbling across the body of a Jianghu person who had been pursued and killed in the depths of the mountains.

After some searching, they found a secret manual ”Scattering Money in a Flower Rain” and a hidden weapon, the ”Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle.”

Unfortunately, there were originally twenty-seven silver needles in the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle set, but by the time it reached their hands, only ten were left.

But with these ten silver needles and the hidden weapon manual ”Scattering Money in a Flower Rain,” the brothers were able to stand their ground within Guild Cao.

Later, they used the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle to kill many opponents. Now, there were only three needles left in Gu Qingfeng’s hand. Having used one in the sneak attack on Chen Jie, only two remained in the cylinder.

So he only had two more chances to counterattack, and he was afraid that wouldn’t hurt Chen Jie.

Moreover, the deterrent power of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle far exceeded its actual lethality. If he used it and the opponent died, it was good, but if not, it would be troublesome.

Thinking this way, Gu Qingfeng said to Chen Jie, ”Chen Jiusi, I repeat what I said before, we had no grievances in the past nor resentments today, there’s no need to fight to the death. What do you say about giving each other a chance and both taking a step back?”

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, ”I say it’s not good.”

”Then you want it to be a fight to the death?”

Chen Jie looked at him, ”Is it that there are no more hidden weapons inside your cylinder?”

”Don’t talk nonsense!”

Gu Qingfeng denied.

With a smile on the corners of his mouth, Chen Jie said, ”You won’t admit it, but I’ve heard that the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle can injure an Energy Transformation Master, and once deployed, silver needles would fill the air, leaving no place to hide. Yet, when you shot at me earlier, you only released one needle?”

”Were you being exceptionally merciful, not wishing to take my life, or are you saying, heh heh, you’ve run out of needles?”

”Hmph, whether there are needles or not, why don’t you give it a try?”

Chen Jie heard these words but did not move. Instead, he kept observing while Gu Qingfeng said, ”If you’re afraid to test it out, let me go. Don’t chase after me.”

Saying that, Gu Qingfeng slowly retreated.

He wanted to escape the area; as long as he got out, he could be free as a bird amidst the vast mountains. Moreover, Gu Qingfeng took notice of the scars on Chen Jie’s face...

At that moment, not far away in the forest, two men were observing the situation.

One said, ”I didn’t expect Gu Qingfeng to still have the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. We’ve got to report this to the Gang Leader when we return!”

”Don’t rush, let’s watch a bit longer.”

”What’s there to watch? Does Chen Jiusi dare to attack Gu Qingfeng while under the threat of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle?”

”Why shouldn’t he?”

”Are you stupid? Not only is the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle a powerful hidden weapon, but it’s also smeared with potent poison. If someone gets hit, they’ll be paralyzed, and then—the poison will enter their bloodstream, and by that time...”

Just then, Chen Jie, standing there, looking at Gu Qingfeng, suddenly felt numbness at his wound, quickly followed by dizziness.

Poisoned!

Chen Jie was startled; at that moment, Gu Qingfeng stopped retreating, his face bearing a cold smile.

”Heh heh, Chen Jiusi, how are you feeling? Dizzy, huh? Ha ha... I forgot to mention, the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle is coated with potent poison.”

”It’s concocted by a Tang Sect master, fatal at a nickname for ordinary people, and even Energy Transformation Masters, once tainted with this poison, will be in life-threatening danger if not treated promptly!”

”So Chen Jiusi, do you still want to kill me?”

A cold sneer appeared on Gu Qingfeng’s face. Chen Jie shook his groggy head, his gaze sharpened, and he looked at Gu Qingfeng, ”What are you trying to say?”

Gu Qingfeng, ”Heh heh, I’m not trying to say anything—I just want you dead!”

With that, Gu Qingfeng slashed at Chen Jie, who saw a flash of light before his eyes and quickly dodged aside.

Normally, Gu Qingfeng’s attack speed was clearly visible to Chen Jie, but after being poisoned, Chen Jie’s movements had become sluggish, and Gu Qingfeng’s actions had suddenly sped up.

Chen Jie frowned at the sight and dodged a knife and then another knife.

Two, three strikes, a vicious smile crept onto Gu Qingfeng’s face, ”Heh heh, good, keep dodging; I want to see how long you can. You may avoid one strike, but what about two, three? Your movements will grow slower, and the poison harsher. Let’s see how you dodge them then.”

Gu Qingfeng said while rising to attack, his dagger relentlessly targeting Chen Jiusi.

And the two scouts from Nan Batian’s group, watching from a distance in the forest, shook their heads, ”Who would have thought that the one to die in the end would be Chen Jiusi.”
