The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 754: Chapter 735: Fusion

Xia Wenjin’s gaze was fixed on Kui Qijun. She was a woman dressed in red gauze, over thirty, at an age when beauty typically fades, yet her charm was undiminished, as if time had left no traces on her face.

Kui Qijun was indeed beautiful, but her thin lips and upturned eyes, every expression and movement, all suggested she was not easily bullied. Her gaze towards Xia Wenjin was filled with disdain, laced with a hint of killing intent.

It was actually killing intent!

Xia Wenjin’s eyes shifted slightly, but she was not surprised. After all, she was here to challenge the place, and it was only natural for others to harbor lethal intentions towards her.

Kui Qijun said lightly, ”Lady Xia, I am known as Lady Rakshasa, but there is another nickname — Poison Lady. Lady Xia, you should know what this means, right?”

Xia Wenjin tentatively said, ”Kui’s greatest skill is poison?”

Kui Qijun laughed, a bold and wanton laugh, ”Lady Xia guessed correctly! So, next, will Lady Xia continue, or concede?” ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

”Why should I concede?” Xia Wenjin was surprised.

Kui Qijun gave a light laugh, ”Lady Xia, since you don’t want to concede, once the duel begins, not only will blades and swords have no eyes, but my poison will be everywhere. Are you prepared for that?”

Xia Wenjin calmly replied, ”Kui, you’re joking. Since this is a martial arts competition, naturally, we rely on our abilities, and we should bring out our most proud skills!”

Kui Qijun narrowed her eyes. She had already mentioned her expertise in poison. Yet this young girl, Lady Xia, did not back down. Was it the fearlessness of youth, or did she believe the poison couldn’t harm her?

Kui Qijun looked at the girl in front of her, who appeared calm and detached, as if the two weren’t discussing matters of life and death but merely chatting casually!

After all, it wasn’t her being relentless. If this young girl dared to challenge the powers of the Capital City, why should she hold back?

With a swift motion, she drew her sword.

Xia Wenjin still held her previous sword in her hand, and they began the duel without even exchanging pleasantries.

Both wielding swords, the stage was a flurry of white light.

Xue Sheng had great confidence in Kui Qijun’s skills. Generally, he was quite afraid of this sinister woman. Though he praised her as a heroine, he was actually very wary of her poison.

He heard her words earlier. He initially wanted to say something, but realizing it was he who was being challenged, he slowly sat back down.

No matter who kills whom, it had nothing to do with him.

Sang Youchong whispered to Ling Xiao, ”The name Poison Lady is not ordinary in the Capital City’s Jianghu. It’s said that nearly a hundred people have died at this woman’s hands. Her poison catches people off guard. Does the Pavilion Master know about this?”

Ling Xiao shook his head with a bitter smile, ”The Pavilion Master is busy with other matters, and we haven’t had the chance to report what we’ve discovered!”

Sang Youchong said with a change of color, ”So, the Pavilion Master doesn’t know how strong her opponent is? The Pavilion Master has too much confidence in her martial arts, but can martial arts defend against poison?”

Ling Xiao thought for a while and said, ”It can, but only if one’s skills exceed the super first-class, reaching the pinnacle!”

Sang Youchong asked, ”Is our Pavilion Master at that level?”

Ling Xiao looked at Sang Youchong as if he were an idiot, ”What do you think?”

Sang Youchong said shyly, ”The Pavilion Master’s martial arts are already surprising just being higher than mine. Even if it’s a level higher, that’s already incredible. Besides, reaching the peak is akin to touching the sky. I fear even the Jianghu’s four great families or those old masters in hidden sects haven’t reached that level?”

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes, ”So why are you asking?”

Sang Youchong sighed lightly, ”That’s not the point. The point is, do you think our Pavilion Master can win this round?”

Ling Xiao said worriedly, ”Winning isn’t the point. The point is hoping the Pavilion Master can retreat unscathed!”

”Hall Master, even you aren’t confident?” A disciple nearby leaned in.

Ling Xiao was helpless, ”I don’t even know the extent of the Pavilion Master’s abilities. In the last round, I thought she couldn’t win!”

The disciple said joyfully, ”So the Pavilion Master must win this round too!”

Ling Xiao was speechless. Such blind trust!

Perhaps he should trust too!

On stage, their swordsmanship was not the pinnacle of skill, but it was extremely perilous.

Moreover, it seemed as though there was a layer of mist on the stage. The mist enveloped the two of them, one red and one blue, appearing beautiful yet sending chills down one’s spine.

They all knew it wasn’t mist; it was Kui Qijun’s poison. Indeed, her poison was unique, only covering the area on stage without affecting those below.
