Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Overlord Flower! Tiehai Tang!
As Lin Bai left the Cave Mansion, he heard sounds of fighting coming from the forest.
"Are people dueling?" Lin Bai quietly walked over, hiding in the forest.
In the woods, a group of burly men were chasing a cold-faced woman.
This woman's skin was slightly dark, her body was well-toned, dressed in a short skirt and short sleeves, revealing her thighs and arms. Her eyes sparkled and she looked like a fox.
Though the woman did not have the grace and elegance, she had a sense of wild beauty.
"Tiehai Tang, you can't escape from me today!" A man with a brooding smile on his face shouted from among the group of men chasing the woman.
The woman in front, named Tiehai Tang, was the daughter of the Demon Slaying Alliance Leader. She had always loved martial arts since she was a child, and her cultivation was profound. She was known as the "Overlord Flower" in the Qingling Mountain Range.
"Qin Xiang, don't be so arrogant. Wait until I have removed the poison from my body, I'll make you pay!" Tiehai Tang angrily shouted from the front.
Qin Xiang, the son of the Qingtian Alliance Leader, who due to his profound cultivation, was an expert in using poison. His sphere of influence was like a reigning emperor in the Qingling Mountain Range. He did whatever he wanted without any restraint.
Many young ladies from cities would come to the Qingling Mountain Range for experience, but they all fell victim to his poison!
Previously in the woods, Qin Xiang and Tiehai Tang unexpectedly ran into each other. The Demon Slaying Alliance and the Qingtian Alliance had long been sworn enemies in the Qingling Mountain Range. Moreover, Qin Xiang had always wanted to get his hands on the Overlord Flower, Tiehai Tang. Therefore, a fierce battle broke out as soon as they met.
After Qin Xiang had used poison to kill all the warriors of the Demon Slaying Alliance, Tiehai Tang was tricked and had to run for her life unwillingly.
Qin Xiang laughed coldly, "Humph, Tiehai Tang, do you know why I have been chasing you for so long? Don't you feel that the flow of your True Qi and vitality within your body isn't as smooth as before?"
Qin Xiang sneered and said triumphantly.
"Could it be..." Tiehai Tang was startled and quickly investigated her internal condition. She then shouted angrily, "Qin Xiang, you despicable scoundrel, you actually used 'Huanhuan Powder' on me."
"Hahaha, did you just realize it now? It's too late. In another minute, you won't be able to mobilize your True Qi. Your body will go weak."
Qin Xiang followed Tiehai Tang calmly, wearing a smile of triumph.
"Despicable!"
Tiehai Tang felt extremely anxious in her heart.
Huanhuan Powder was a long lost and potent drug. It could be taken orally or diffused with the wind. It was colorless and tasteless. Once a warrior took Huanhuan Powder, they would be unable to mobilize their True Qi for a quarter of an hour, their body would become weak.
"Oh no, the effect of the drug is kicking in!" After running three steps forward, Tiehai Tang felt her body weaken and she collapsed to the ground.
The effect of Huanhuan Powder was like a fierce tiger instantly devouring Tiehai Tang's frail body!
Tiehai Tang lay on the ground, weak and unable to stand. She could only watch as Qin Xiang approached her with a wicked grin.
"So? I told you that you won't be able to escape from me today." Qin Xiang said arrogantly.
Tiehai Tang was angry, "Qin Xiang, even if I die, you won't be able to touch me!"
After saying that, Tiehai Tang was about to bite her tongue to end her life.
"Ehh, at your current state, you don't even have the privilege to die." Qin Xiang grabbed Tiehai Tang's cheek, preventing her from biting her tongue.
When he looked back and saw the warriors of the Qingtian Alliance still around, Qin Xiang bellowed, "What are you all still doing here? Get lost!"
"Yes, young Alliance Leader."
Naturally, these warriors of the Qingtian Alliance would not interfere with Qin Xiang's fun. Hearing his words, they turned around and left.
"Hahaha." Qin Xiang laughed loudly as he approached Tiehai Tang.
Tiehai Tang watched this scene with a fierce look in her eyes. However, she was unable to mobilize her True Qi and her body was weak. She was completely powerless to resist!
"Wow, what are you guys playing? It looks like fun, can I join?"
Just as Qin Xiang was ready to show off his martial prowess, a cheerful voice sounded from behind him.
Angrily, Qin Xiang turned to see a teenager who looked no older than sixteen standing ten steps away, beaming at him with an innocent smile.
"You scamp, get out of here if you don't want to die!"
Qin Xiang bellowed in fury.
The teenager was none other than Lin Bai.
Lin Bai had just emerged from his cave mansion and just witnessed everything unfolding. While Lin Bai had no interest in playing a hero, hearing the conversation between Tiehai Tang and Qin Xiang, he had resolved to lend a hand.
But to use such a despicable method like the muscle-relaxing powder was truly abhorrent!
So, when Qin Xiang brought up the muscle-relaxing powder, Lin Bai decided to intervene!
If for nothing else, it was for the cause of justice!
"I just thought your game looked fun, so I wanted to join in." Lin Bai said with a smile.
"Kid, do you think you can reject a civil toast, only to be forced to drink a forfeit?" Qin Xiang stood up in anger, bellowed, "Fine, let me help you exit stage first!"
"Rushing Thunder Fist!"
Before Qin Xiang's words fell, he took the first step forward.
Thump, thump, thump
His steps accelerated rapidly like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Lin Bai.
A fist strike boomed out, with lightning serpents flashing around Qin Xiang's fist.
"Yellow Level fifth Grade martial arts technique and the attack power of Yellow Level fifth-grade!"
Lin Bai was taken aback; he slid his foot and let Qin Xiang's fist strike a large tree.
Immediately, the tree was split into two by the punch!
"You actually managed to dodge it. Can you dodge this punch then?" Qin Xiang chuckled coldly, his second punch rushed forward.
"One Sword Blood Spurt!"
Zing!
The sound of the Soul-Slaying Sword was incredibly sharp, the cold light flashed instantly, and a blazing red sword light swept across, colliding with Qin Xiang's punch, neither yielding an inch, both of them retreated five steps!
"Martial Arts Sixth Level, Yellow Level fifth-grade Sword Skill!" Qin Xiang immediately recognized Lin Bai's skill and cultivation after Lin Bai made his move.
Changing the topic, Lin Bai knew better than to feign folly with Qin Xiang any longer since they had already crossed hands: "Sir, to do such a despicable act under the broad daylight in public is inappropriate."
"For my sake, perhaps you should leave this place now. If we fight, it will inevitably end in mutual destruction."
Lin Bai gave one last piece of advice.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang burst into a frenzied laughter: "A tie? Ha! You countryside boy, this young master is the junior head of the Qingtian Alliance, proficient in high-grade martial arts. You, a sixth-level martial artist, are in the same realm as me, but crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"
"Since you refused to leave, you shall be buried here!"
"Thunder God Fist!"
Qin Xiang roared again, his Thunder God Fist came striking down. Above the Nine Heavens, a divine thunder struck onto Qin Xiang's fist. The powerful divine thunder stirred the wind and clouds between heaven and earth, stirring up a whirlwind in the woods!
