Chapter 83

Zhao Yun never would have thought that the person standing at the courtyard gate, smiling at him, was actually the courier from this morning.

"Who are you really?"

Zhao Yun asked coldly.

"At this point, asking such a stupid question, you really are quite foolish," the courier mocked.

"He is a member of the Witch God Sect," Ye Qiu said.

"A member of the Witch God Sect?" Zhao Yun was greatly surprised, then asked in confusion, "Why would a member of the Witch God Sect pretend to be a courier?"

"Of course, it's to lure us into a trap," Ye Qiu said, looking at Dong Chen. "Your plan isn't very clever."

"Even if it's not clever, you still fell for it, didn't you?" Dong Chen laughed.

"Yes, we did fall for your trap," Ye Qiu sighed.

If they hadn't been so eager to find the murderer, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

"Although we fell for your trap, there is still a bigger flaw in your plan to lure us into a trap," Ye Qiu added.

Dong Chen raised an eyebrow. "What flaw?"

"Your real target is Jiu Qiansui, but Jiu Qiansui isn't here now," Ye Qiu said.

Dong Chen laughed. "Who said our target is Jiu Qiansui?"

If not Jiu Qiansui, could it be the Dragon King?

Ye Qiu was startled.

At this moment, Dong Chen continued, "To assassinate Jiu Qiansui, I led the Jiangzhou branch and made thorough preparations, but in the end, we still failed. If this news gets back to the sect, I will surely be severely punished. For this reason, I came up with another idea to make up for my failure, which is to kill the Dragon King."

"The Dragon King is the king of the underground forces in Jiangzhou. If I can kill him, I might not be punished when I return."

Dong Chen looked at the Dragon King and said with a smug smile, "Your time has come!"

The Dragon King's face remained calm. "If you want to kill me so badly, you must have done some research on me, right?"

"Of course."

"Then did you know that I rank twelfth on the Tiger List?"

"I know."

"Knowing that, you still dared to lure me into a trap? Aren't you afraid I'll wipe you all out?"

"If you were in perfect health, I wouldn't dare to provoke you so easily, but now, hehe, you are infected with the Yin-Yang Snake Poison, and I can kill you easily," Dong Chen laughed.

The Dragon King's face turned cold. "Since you know about the Yin-Yang Snake Poison, you should know who poisoned me. Where is he?"

"What, you want to find him and kill him for revenge?" Dong Chen laughed. "Don't dream about it, I won't tell you."

"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you right now!"

The Dragon King took a step forward, and a cold killing intent suddenly emanated from his body.

Instantly, the temperature in the courtyard seemed to drop to below zero.

"Coincidentally, I also want to see how powerful a Tiger List rank twelve expert is," Dong Chen said, then took a green bamboo leaf from his pocket and began to play it.

Soon, a sharp sound rang out.

The Dragon King had just lifted his foot to walk towards Dong Chen when he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Dragon King—"

Ye Qiu quickly caught the Dragon King, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Dragon King, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Yun asked anxiously.

The Dragon King's body trembled, his face turned pale, and large beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He struggled to say, "It hurts!"

"Ye Qiu, what's wrong with the Dragon King?" Zhao Yun asked Ye Qiu again.

Ye Qiu didn't speak, but grasped the Dragon King's pulse, checked for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice, "It seems the poison has taken effect."

"Didn't you say the poison wouldn't take effect within a month?"

"Under normal circumstances, after my treatment, the poison wouldn't take effect within a month. The sudden onset without any warning must be related to him."

Ye Qiu pointed at Dong Chen and said to Zhao Yun, "The sound he makes with the bamboo leaf seems to control the poison in the Dragon King's body."

Swish!

Zhao Yun pulled out a gun from his waist and pointed it at Dong Chen's head, shouting, "Stop immediately, or I'll blow your head off."

Dong Chen ignored him and continued to play the bamboo leaf.

At that moment, Zhao Yun suddenly felt a strong wind by his ear, and he stepped back to see the courier kick towards him.

"Looking for death." Zhao Yun decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang!

One shot, and the courier was dead.

At this moment, two of the four people next to Dong Chen quickly rushed out and engaged Zhao Yun.

Dong Chen looked at the Dragon King with the eyes of a dead man and said disdainfully, "A Tiger List rank twelve expert? The king of the underground forces in Jiangzhou? Haha, just like this."

"Kill him!"

Immediately, the remaining two Witch God Sect disciples rushed towards the Dragon King.

"Xiao Ye, don't worry about me, run," the Dragon King said through the pain.

Ye Qiu didn't speak, but forced his internal energy to his fingertips and quickly pressed a point on the Dragon King's back.

Instantly, the Dragon King felt the pain lessen and said, "Ye Qiu, run, go find Jiu Qiansui, it's too late if you don't hurry."

"It's already too late."

Ye Qiu knew that Dong Chen had set up this trap with full preparation and wouldn't let them escape.

Sure enough, he saw two more people appear at the courtyard gate, each holding a knife.

The blades were covered in fresh blood.

It seemed the few brothers outside were all dead.

Ye Qiu's heart sank, and he quickly pressed several major points on the Dragon King's body, saying, "I have sealed your meridians and suppressed the poison. Don't use your energy, or the poison will take effect again."

"Don't worry about me..."

Before the Dragon King could finish his sentence, Ye Qiu suddenly rushed out, and a few "bangs" were heard. The Dragon King then saw the two Witch God Sect disciples being thrown away by Ye Qiu.

Huh?

Dong Chen's face changed slightly, and he looked at Ye Qiu in surprise, asking, "You actually know martial arts, who are you really?"

"A dying man doesn't deserve to know."

Ye Qiu walked towards Dong Chen.

Dong Chen's face didn't show fear, but he calmly said to Ye Qiu, "At your young age, to have such skills, it must have been very difficult. I am a person who values talent and don't want to kill you. Go!"

"Value talent? Nonsense! You're just afraid I'll ruin your plan to kill the Dragon King."

Seeing through Dong Chen's thoughts, he wasn't embarrassed and continued, "How about this, why don't you join our Witch God Sect? If you kill the Dragon King, I'll immediately appoint you as the deputy leader of the Jiangzhou branch. How does that sound?"

"I'm not interested in being a deputy leader."

Dong Chen thought Ye Qiu was willing to join the Witch God Sect but was just not interested in the deputy leader position, and he smiled, asking, "Then what do you want?"

"I want your life!"

Boom—

Ye Qiu punched towards Dong Chen.
