My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 199: Showdown

Chapter 199: Showdown

Inside the Moonlit Pavilion, Qin Feng revealed a look of shock, covering his chest and saying, “One less of the Thirty-Six Stars? What do you mean by that?”

“No need to ask when you already know.” replied the other.

“You actually want to kill Chief Zhou? How dare you? Wait, I understand now. It’s the Soul Sealing Coffin.

You want Bi Fang’s head, so you have to kill him.

You’re the ones behind the scenes pushing for the battle between Bi Fang and Xie Hui!”

Qin Feng widened his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Lan Ningshuang, still groaning in pain on the ground, thought, “Young Master is really good at acting. He clearly knew it already.”

The young man sneered, “Now that you know all this, it’s already too late.”

Qin Feng puzzled, “You go to great lengths just to get Bi Fang’s head. Is it related to the so-called divine medicine you mentioned?”

The young man frowned, “This is not something a dying person like you needs to know.”

“Wait a minute!”

He seemed to have figured something out, hastily stood up, and glanced at Lan Ningshuang on the ground.

According to the time the poison should have spread, it should have already reached this woman’s heart, taking her life.

But why was she only groaning in pain on the ground the whole time?

Seeing this, Qin Feng realized he couldn’t hide it any longer. He wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, sat up straight, then, under the disbelieving gaze of the young man, picked a piece of food from the hotpot, took a sip of wine, and made a satisfied sound.

“This taste.”

“You!” Now, it was the young man who widened his eyes with shock on his face, but he wasn’t pretending, he was genuinely shocked.

After finishing the drink, Qin Feng glanced at Lan Ningshuang on the ground and smirked, “Ningshaung, stop pretending. You’ve been exposed.”

Hearing this, Lan Ningshuang immediately stood up, brushed off the dust from her body, and then held her sword by the table.

This distance not only protected the young master but also prevented the young man from escaping.

However, she still felt a little aggrieved. She was obviously acting so well, so how could she be found out?

Seeing this scene, the young man instantly understood, “Neither of you were poisoned at all? You were just pretending the whole time!”

“Don’t be so excited. Since we’ve all laid our cards on the table, why not sit down and have an open and honest discussion?” Qin Feng pushed a new wine glass toward the other person, filling it with wine.

The young man’s expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, “It seems my whereabouts have been exposed. I’m curious, though. How did you discover my true identity?”

“Do you want to know?” Qin Feng asked.

“I want to know.”

“How about we make a deal then? You tell me the purpose of seizing Bi Fang’s head, and I’ll tell you how we discovered your true identity,” Qin Feng said calmly.

“You were indeed probing me just now, but do you think that the two of you can make me surrender?” The young man remained calm in appearance, but his eyes were constantly scanning the room, as if searching for a way to escape.

“What if we add a few more to our side?” Suddenly, a voice came from outside the room.

Yang He opened the door, and beside him stood the robust Zhang Tiannan.

Looking back, all the common people in the restaurant had dispersed, replaced by a vigilant group of demon slayers with considerable strength.

The path of poison was unpredictable, and they naturally had to be on guard.

Seeing this, the young man’s face instantly darkened. He knew he couldn’t escape anymore and sneered, “Summoning so many people to capture me, aren’t you afraid that your Chief Zhou might encounter unexpected troubles?

I have already set up poison in the Demon Slaying Department. At this moment, Zhou Kai must have already been affected.

Just wait to collect the corpse for your Chief Zhou.”

At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” The young man frowned, a hint of unease appearing in his heart.

Qin Feng put down his wine glass and said, “The powder of Ghostwood Vine and Snow Leaf is indeed a clever trick, but unfortunately, I happened to come across a similar record in a medical book.

So, I gave Chief Zhou a warning in advance.”

“Impossible! When you first saw Snow Leaf, there was clearly nothing unusual. You even recorded the wrong watering time. Could it be?”

At this point, the young man suddenly realized that initially, he thought the other party was just a flatterer, pretending to understand in order to show off in front of Chief Zhou.

But after these few days of confrontation, he confirmed that Qin Feng in front of him indeed had real talent.

And the fact that the other person knew about Snow Leaf’s characteristics indicated that they had read records about that flower in a book. But if that’s the case, why would they still write down the wrong watering time? Unless those times were intentionally written incorrectly!

The young man pondered for a moment and then exclaimed, “It’s that Chronicle Of The World!”

Qin Feng did not answer; he just swung his right hand and directly threw out a book.

The young man caught it. It was the Chronicle Of The World that the other party had given to Chief Zhou Kai earlier!

He slowly opened it, then, following the page numbers, rows, and characters corresponding to the time, he suddenly widened his eyes.

Those characters strung together were clearly – ‘Don’t smell the fragrance of flowers, be careful, it’s poisonous.’

The young man staggered a bit, looking at Qin Feng in disbelief.

“With such a thick book, how can you be so familiar with its contents, connecting the words on specific pages and reminding Zhou Kai?”

“From the very beginning, have you seen through my plan?” the young man asked absentmindedly.

Qin Feng replied casually, “In the southern region of The Great Qian, the place suitable for the growth of Snow Leaf is the closest at the Hundred Flowers valley, which is eight thousand miles away.”

“Ask yourself, how many common people would travel to such a distant place?

To put it another way, even if there were people who traveled far and wide, making the arduous journey to bring Snow Leaf back, how many would know the characteristics of this flower and be able to care for it so well?

Add to that the skull of Bi Fang, which was brought here not long ago by the fat guy from the Mu family.

With so many coincidences piled together, one naturally has to be on guard.”

As the words fell, the city of Jinyang suddenly trembled.

The young man looked out through the window, which happened to face the direction of the Demon Slayer Department.

At the Demon Slayer Department, an incredibly huge and sinister giant ape manifested, towering into the sky. Between its chest-thumping and foot-stomping, the space trembled, and the curtain of rain disappeared.

That was a technique that only a Fourth Rank Hundred Ghost Daoist could perform—the Spirit Summoning!

Qin Feng turned to look, also shocked.

Regarding the Hundred Ghost Tradition, he had made a special effort to understand it after Senior Li’s death.

The Fourth Rank Hundred Ghost Daoist could summon the spirits of the deceased and turn them into combat power.

But the spirits that could be summoned were not without limitations.

It was vaguely mentioned in the book that there needed to be some kind of agreement between the Hundred Ghost Daoist and the spirits for them to accept the summons.

For the Hundred Ghost Daoist, the stronger the spirits they could summon, the higher their strength.

Just like Chief Zhou, who was one of the Thirty-Six Stars, summoning the giant ape spirit at this moment.

If Qin Feng wasn’t mistaken, it should be the powerful monster mentioned in the “Hundred Demons Chronicle”—Zhu Yan!
