Chapter 51: Bloody Means

  Shen Xiang was at a disadvantage from the start, and Yao Cong's true strength was actually Seventh-Order Mortal Martial Realm. This result was astonishing, and now they understood why the Yao family had arranged for Yao Cong to fight Shen Xiang.

  "Shen Xiang, is this all you've got? You're really disappointing me!" Leng Youlan stood not far away with her arms crossed, her clear and cold eyes filled with disappointment. Shen Xiang was now being forced to the edge of the fighting platform and would soon be knocked off.

  The pharmacist's means were extremely clever, leaving Shen Xiang unable to defend against them. However, no matter how hard the pharmacist tried, he never expected that on Shen Xiang's finger was a hidden ring, inside which were two peerless beauties, one of whom was actually the Dan Medicine Sect Master.

  "This is a highly paralyzing poison, but your meridians are very strong and your physical body has been tempered by the Xianmo Tan, you only need to operate the Taiji Divine Technique, let the Taiji diagram in your Dantian rotate, and directly refine the poison away." Su Meiyao said.

  Taiji Divine Power, one rotation, the spiritual energy around crazily surged into Shen Xiang's body, entered the meridians, together with those numbness poisons flushed into the dantian, and then was refined by the five elements true energy inside.

  Yao Cong originally wanted to severely injure Shen Xiang, crippling him and then knocking him off the martial arts stage, but no matter how he hit him, Shen Xiang kept looking at him with that gaze full of murderous intent, as if nothing was wrong.

  Shen Xiang was able to move again, and at this time, everyone saw that Yao Cong had actually pulled out a short knife with a cold light and stabbed it towards Shen Xiang's chest.

  "Get out of here!" Yu Cong shouted loudly.

  The crowd was shocked and amazed, a burst of ** erupted from the square, and they all started cursing loudly.

  Yao Cong's short knife was about to pierce Shen Xiang's chest when Shen Xiang, who had not moved at all, suddenly moved. His entire skeleton burst into a loud "crackling" sound, and he stretched out his left hand, grasped the blade of the knife, and then pinched it with great force, crushing it into powder.

  "Despicable! First, you used poisonous gas to paralyze me, and now you want to kill me without any regard for your own lives. You Medicine Clan are truly ruthless!" As Shen Xiang cursed, his hands burst forth with a violent cyan True Qi, both arms wrapped in the crackling energy that sent shivers down one's spine.

  "Get out of my sight!" Shen Xiang bellowed, his fists pounding against Yao Cong's body like a raging storm, unleashing over a hundred punches infused with the power of thunder in the blink of an eye.

  Yao Cong let out a series of miserable cries, while the Yao family elder had already flown up, Shen Xiang saw this and his palm suddenly transformed into a huge cyan dragon claw, the dragon claw's tip emitting a burst of cyan true energy, directly penetrating through Yao Cong's body, several blood arrows spraying out from Yao Cong's body.

  Yao Cong was struck by Qinglong's claw and had five large holes on his body, all of which were pierced by the true energy. He fell to the ground but did not die.

  "Shen Xiang, stop!" The Medicine Sect elder struck with a punch, Shen Xiang dodged to the side, and suddenly his thigh burst forth with thunderous true energy. He lifted it violently, then like an axe wrapped in blue lightning, chopped down at Yao Cong's waist.

  "Stop it—"

  The old medicine family elder roared again, but the medicine Cong had already been split into two pieces by Shen Xiang's violent kick and died on the martial arts stage. The scene was extremely bloody and nauseating, making people's spines chill.

  The square was as silent as death, and the sound of many people swallowing their saliva could be heard. Shen Xiang's actions made it hard for everyone to believe that he had actually killed a proud son of the Medicine Family in front of the Medicine Family's gate, and in such a bloody manner.

  "Why didn't you stop him when he killed me? Can he kill me but I can't kill him? And I'm using legitimate means!" Shen Xiang's voice was filled with coldness and anger, if it wasn't for him being able to disperse the poison in time, he would have been killed already.

  Yao Cong just stabbed Shen Xiang with a short knife, this is what everyone saw, it's against the rules. Since that's the case, even if Shen Xiang breaks the rules and kills Yao Cong, there's nothing wrong with that.

  "Do you want to fight me?" Shen Xiang coldly stared at the elder of the Medicine Family, his entire body bursting with murderous aura.

  The Medicine House elder looked at the corpse that had been cut in half on the ground, his old face full of anger and his eyes full of murderous intent. At this time, several other elders of the Medicine House also arrived.

  "Haha... it's too funny, the young master of the Medicine Family broke the rules and tried to kill me, but still couldn't do it, and instead got himself killed. Now the old man of the Medicine Family wants to take revenge on me?" Suddenly, a bold person in the square burst out laughing.

  Someone spoke out, and the people in the square also ridiculed the Medicine Family. This made the faces of the elderly members of the Medicine Family extremely ugly. They really hated Shen Xiang to death, so they arranged for Yao Cong and Shen Xiang to compete, letting Yao Cong take the antidote first, holding toxic gas in his mouth while talking to Shen Xiang, which led to Shen Xiang being poisoned.

  But Yao Jia underestimated Shen Xiang's strength, and Yao Cong was unable to inflict serious injury on him. Not wanting to waste the opportunity, in his haste he pulled out a short knife to stab Shen Xiang. In his view, as a member of the Yao family with great power in Nanwu Country, he would definitely be able to cover for him, and besides, he had killed Shen Xiang.

  "Shen Xiang, our clan will never let you go!" The elder said with a tone full of resentment and venom.

  Shen Xiang sneered: "A prestigious pharmaceutical family has fallen to such a state, I won't let you off the hook either."

  Shen Xiang walked down from the martial arts stage, and the elder of the Medicine Family did not make a move against him. Otherwise, the entire South Wu Kingdom would have ridiculed the Medicine Family. Although this Martial Arts Conference was hosted by the Medicine Family, they had to follow the rules. Yao Cong broke the rules, so Shen Xiang could also disregard the rules. Therefore, it was only natural that Shen Xiang killed Yao Cong.

  The medicine family did not stop Shen Xiang from leaving, and they also had some concerns. These elders were all at the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm, and they also understood something about Yao Cong's affairs. However, Shen Xiang was able to kill Yao Cong so easily, which showed that Shen Xiang's strength might be approaching the eighth level of the Mortal Martial Realm!

  "Shen Xiang, don't be so smug. Yao Cong's master will definitely come after you." An elder coldly snorted and ordered someone to clean up the corpses on the martial arts stage.

  Similarly, it was also the seventh layer of Fang Wu's boundary, but Yao Cong faced Shen Xiang and couldn't withstand a single blow. Moreover, Yao Cong had previously launched a crazy attack on Shen Xiang, but hadn't caused any harm to him, which showed that Shen Xiang's strength was extraordinary and absolutely not ordinary Fang Wu's seventh layer.

  Ling Yu Lan furrowed her brow, gazing at Shen Xiang's back, lightly biting her red lips. She was also a Seventh-Order Mortal Martial Realm cultivator, but she couldn't unleash such powerful true energy like Shen Xiang did, especially the instantaneous burst of true energy that transformed into an aura attack. That kind of freedom and control was very difficult to achieve, and she could only barely manage it herself.

  Shen Xiang and Yao Jia's hatred deepened again, and the major forces were also very entangled at this time. Among them, many had a good relationship with Yao Jia. Now that Yao Jia and Shen Jia have opened up, it is inevitable, but they are hesitant to make a decision. If Yao Jia loses, then Shen Jia will swallow up Yao Jia, grasp the major industries of Yao Jia, and become a powerful Dan medicine force. At that time, these forces that helped Yao Jia would only suffer in vain.
