“Taking care of… it’s nothing, Young Miss Tian is too polite!” Qin Chu said.
In the past, besides his enemies, Qin Chu had never rejected anyone, but he had no good feelings for this Tian Jing, and Qin Chu couldn't quite explain why.
“Qin Alchemist may not care, but Tian Jing must care!” Tian Jing opened the wine jar and poured a cup of wine for Qin Chu.
Looking at Tian Jing and the wine cup pushed towards him, Qin Chu was helpless. He picked up the cup and took a sip.
As this cup of wine entered his stomach, Qin Chu immediately felt something was wrong, because he felt as if he was frozen, his body filled with extreme cold, and his blood and Origin Qi could not circulate.
It was then that Qin Chu understood why he had always disliked Tian Jing; it was because Tian Jing carried killing intent, even when she smiled, it was present in her smile.
“Are you feeling something is wrong? Damn it! You are of the Saint Race, and I am also of the Saint Race, what right do you have to give me attitude? And to put on such a high and mighty pose, who do you think you are?” Seeing frost appear on Qin Chu’s face, Tian Jing smiled, a very wild smile. Qin Chu falling for it meant she had succeeded.
Glaring at Tian Jing, Qin Chu was unable to speak, his face completely frozen. However, at this moment, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire in his Dantian moved, beginning to circulate through Qin Chu’s Meridians.
“I know you have many questions, so I’ll tell you. I am Shang Tian Jing, from the Xileng branch of the White Tiger Saint Race! My mission in Sky Sword City is to kill you. Originally, I thought about getting close to you, giving you some benefits would also work, as long as the mission was completed. But you’re cheap! You don’t want the benefits, forcing me to use these methods. Do you know what you drank? Wine brewed from Ice Ling Grass. Originally, Ice Ling Grass is a Spirit Medicine, but when combined with Ice Bear blood, it becomes a supreme ice-sealing poison! Will you freeze to death, or be decapitated?” Looking at Qin Chu, Shang Tian Jing’s face was filled with a triumphant smile.
Shang Tian Jing was very happy. She had been suppressed for a long time, but there was nothing she could do. She didn't dare to act rashly, mainly because Lang Lang was there. Even if she administered poison, she wouldn't have the chance to kill Qin Chu; drinking alone with Qin Chu, she wasn't sure if Qin Chu would drink with her, because Qin Chu had always kept people at a distance. Today, she used the excuse of leaving to make Qin Chu drink the ice-sealing wine.
Qin Chu had not spoken, and in Shang Tian Jing’s eyes, Qin Chu was unable to speak. In fact, Qin Chu could speak, he just didn’t.
The Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire was a Spirit Fire. The Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire circulated rapidly within Qin Chu’s body, having already unfrozen his blood, but he had not fully recovered yet, so Qin Chu didn't move.
Looking at Qin Chu, Shang Tian Jing walked around in a circle, “No! I can’t leave you a whole corpse. Taking your head back will be more convincing, and the credit will be greater.”
After speaking, Shang Tian Jing drew her sword and slashed at Qin Chu’s neck, truly striking without mercy!
At this moment, Qin Chu's right hand moved, the Azure Spirit Sword unsheathed, standing by the side of his neck, blocking Shang Tian Jing's sword. Qin Chu didn't move a step, but Shang Tian Jing was forced back two steps.
The strength of two elephants, Qin Chu Cultivated the Prison Suppressing Fist, and his arms had Cultivated the strength of two elephants. This was no joke. Without using his body's strength, his arms alone possessed the strength of two elephants. It could be said that when Qin Chu thrust a sword, it was very difficult for others to parry it. One force can overcome ten skills; this is the dominance of strength. Why was Qing Yi strong? It was precisely because of his dominant strength.
Shang Tian Jing, who was forced back, had a face full of surprise. She was shocked by the situation before her. She knew the dominance of the ice-sealing poison; let alone a fifth-stage Heaven Origin Realm Cultivator, even a sixth-stage King Realm, or even a Late Stage King Realm, would be frozen. How could Qin Chu be fine?
“Are you feeling very strange? Strange why I wasn’t frozen?” Qin Chu flicked the Azure Spirit Sword with his right hand.
Shang Tian Jing looked at Qin Chu, Qin Chu’s words were her own doubts.
“I, Qin Chu, am the direct heir of the Vermilion Bird Saint Race. With fire attribute within me, your ice-sealing poison does have an effect, but it’s not unbreakable. If you had acted immediately after I was hit, I wouldn’t have been able to retaliate, but you were too proud, and your overconfidence is your biggest failure.”
“Impossible! Even fire-attribute Origin Qi is very difficult to break through the ice-sealing poison; this has been tested by predecessors.” Shang Tian Jing simply didn’t believe Qin Chu’s words, because in the past, fire-attribute King Realm Cultivators had been frozen to death by the ice-sealing poison.
“Anyway, you failed, Shang Tian Jing, is the face of your White Tiger Saint Race so worthless now?” Looking at Shang Tian Jing, Qin Chu shouted loudly. He also wanted to act, but his Origin Qi had not fully recovered yet; blocking Shang Tian Jing’s sword was purely relying on his physical strength.
“Failed… I can’t possibly fail, Qin Chu, go to hell!” Shang Tian Jing erupted, releasing the aura of a King Realm. She herself was a King Realm Cultivator, and during this time, she had been using a secret method of the White Tiger Saint Race to suppress her cultivation to the Heaven Origin Realm. Now that she had to fight with all her might, she naturally no longer hid it.
Qin Chu’s mind sank, entering the Sword Spirit Realm. The basic sword technique, enhanced by the Startling God Sword Art, was unleashed, blocking all of Shang Tian Jing’s attacks.
After attacking several times without breaking Qin Chu’s defense, Shang Tian Jing became extremely annoyed. Her Sword Intent erupted, pressing towards Qin Chu. It was a fifth-level Peak Sword Intent. She really wanted to achieve a Breakthrough in Sword Intent within Sky Sword Mountain, but Qin Chu was in Sky Sword Mountain, so she didn't dare to go to the fifth-level Sword Intent area, and thus did not achieve a Breakthrough.
Teaching a fish to swim! Seeing Shang Tian Jing unleash her Sword Intent, Qin Chu’s half-step seventh-level Sword Intent erupted, directly suppressing Shang Tian Jing’s Sword Intent.
With Shang Tian Jing’s Sword Intent suppressed, Qin Chu began his counterattack, as his Origin Qi had completely unfrozen.
As Qin Chu began to counterattack, Shang Tian Jing became passive. She was a King Realm Cultivator, but only in the Early Stage of the King Realm. With her Sword Intent suppressed, the power of her sword technique decreased significantly. Furthermore, Qin Chu’s sword technique was not only sharp but also very heavy. She could only evade Qin Chu’s attacks; blocking was too difficult. Although she was from the White Tiger Saint Race, she was, after all, a woman, and not skilled in strength.
Their battle destroyed the inn's courtyard, which attracted the City Lord's Mansion Enforcement Team.
“Qin Chu, you’re doomed. If I can’t kill you today, then next time.” Shang Tian Jing had no intention of continuing the fight. Not to mention that Qin Chu would soon have backup, even without it, she would find it very difficult to defeat Qin Chu.
Shang Tian Jing’s body flickered and soared. Qin Chu’s Origin Qi energy vibrated, and Sacred Fire Sword Wings appeared on his back. The Sacred Fire Sword Wings trembled, catching up to Shang Tian Jing, and a Sword Qi pierced through Shang Tian Jing’s waist.
“Damn bastard!” Shang Tian Jing cursed, her body directly ascending into the sky. She was a King Realm Cultivator and could fly in the air, which Qin Chu could not do. No matter how outstanding a fifth-stage Heaven Origin Realm Cultivator was, the fact that they could not fly remained, and this was also why it was very difficult for a fifth-stage Heaven Origin Realm Cultivator to kill a sixth-stage King Realm Cultivator across realms.
Qin Chu stomped his foot, and the Sacred Fire Sword Wings on his back vibrated violently. His body shot into the sky, and his left hand unleashed the Vermilion Bird Sky-Seizing Claw, grabbing one of Shang Tian Jing’s ankles.
