Martial Master

He then discovered that the true energy within him seemed to be in a constant state of being manipulated, and he couldn't lift it up at all.

He was shocked inside, but his face remained expressionless as he desperately circulated his true energy, trying to expel that strange power.

But it was useless.

This bizarre power was exceedingly strange, and under the obstruction of his mid-level Heaven Level true energy, it remained completely unaffected and continued to spread upwards.

At this moment, Qin Feng's true energy was becoming increasingly difficult to muster, and his energy sea felt empty, as if his true energy had been drained by something, leaving him unable to lift a single strand.

However, in reality, his energy sea was still filled with true energy; it was all just an illusion.

In this situation, Qin Feng was already drenched in cold sweat from shock, yet he forced himself to maintain calm on his face, glaring fiercely at Qin Chen, and hoarsely said: "Qin Chen, your methods are too despicable, aren't they? You actually resorted to poison? However, do you think this little poison can harm me? How laughable."

He spoke lightly, pretending as if he was not poisoned, various methods constantly flashed through his mind, but he dismissed them one by one.

He had seen the earlier battle between Qin Chen and Nian Wuji.

One had to say, his brother Chen was no longer the same child from back then; his cultivation level was extraordinary, having even defeated Cao Heng of the Great Wei Kingdom and Nian Wuji of the Ghost Immortal Sect.

Even in that previous situation, he could still sneak an attack on him.

If he were in peak condition, he might not have cared, but now, being poisoned, he was immediately in a perilous situation.

Hehe, still pretending in front of me, right now this power should be approaching your Dan Zhong acupoint, right? Hmm, at this spreading speed, in about ten breaths, it will reach your mind, at that time, your true energy will not be able to muster at all. My good brother, tell me, how should I deal with you?" Qin Chen said with a half-smile.

"You—"

Qin Feng's complexion changed dramatically.

He had not deceived Qin Chen, which was to be expected, after all, Qin Chen was no fool. However, he was shocked that Qin Chen understood exactly which part of his body the poison was spreading to; that level of observation far exceeded Qin Feng's imagination.

Qin Feng's face turned ashen, the previous arrogance completely vanished. "Qin Chen, we can talk this over. There’s no need for us to fight to the death."

Qin Chen smiled slightly: "Oh? Give me a reason not to kill you."

"I—"

Qin Feng's first thought was to say that they were both geniuses of the Great Qi Kingdom. If Qin Chen killed him, it would help the Great Wei Kingdom and the Ghost Immortal Sect, and Lord Xiao Zhan would surely not let him off.

However, after a moment's thought, he realized that he had already been planning to attack Qin Chen earlier. Such a reason had no persuasive power whatsoever.

You were going to kill someone else, and now that you can't, you're in danger and expect others not to kill you? How is that possible?

"Qin Chen, say what you want, I will not refuse as long as I have it. After all, we are brothers. If you kill me, not to mention your mother, if grandfather finds out, he definitely won't let you go easily. Why don’t we shake hands and make peace? After all, we haven't reached the point of life and death yet, have we?"

He sighed deeply and said: "Moreover, you must know that although the Great Qi Kingdom values our Qin family now, it is only because of grandfather's meritorious service at the border. In fact, over the years, because of his great achievements, the king of the Great Qi Kingdom has become quite displeased with our Qin family."

"My father exiled you for your own protection, and he also wants the king to think that our Qin family is in disarray. In truth, both my father and mother care about you deeply and acknowledge you as a member of the Qin family."
