Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 395: A Gamble in Doucheng

Wuzhan placed his hand on Qin Moyao's back, trying to expel the soul poison, but to no avail. He was secretly amazed at how powerful the soul poison was.

Qin Moyao felt dizzy, her body softened, and she fell into Wuzhan's arms, "Wuzhan, I'm dying, please don't leave me."

Wuzhan saw that Qin Moyao's nails had turned black, her hair was gradually turning white, and her soul was gradually decaying. He hurriedly injected his own soul into Qin Moyao's consciousness. Although it alleviated the symptoms, it was only a drop in the bucket.

Wuzhan thought for a long time. This soul poison was mixed with the entire soul, just like blood dissolved in water. If the soul poison was to be eliminated, the soul would undoubtedly be destroyed as well, unless there was a magical object that could purify the soul poison. But even if there was one, how could one find it in such a vast land in such a short time?
Qin Moyao also noticed the change in herself. Knowing that she didn't have much time left, she shook her head helplessly and said, "I will die without regrets if I can see you today. Promise me that you will leave me after I die, okay?"

Wuzhan felt guilty. If he hadn't been so careless and hadn't expected Xie Yu to be able to launch that hidden weapon within Qin Moyao's domain, Qin Moyao wouldn't have been in this situation.

Intertwined with Qin Moyao's fate, the relationship between the two has long been unclear. How could Wuzhan bear to see Qin Moyao die alone in this strange world.

Qin Moyao took out a black cloak and buried her head under the hat, covering herself tightly. She was afraid that Wuzhan would see her old appearance, so she held him in her arms again and said, "Even if I die, don't look at me again." After saying this, she fainted.

Wuzhan picked up Qin Moyao and whispered, "I won't let you die." Then he flew up.

After coming out of the dark canyon, they saw a man coming towards them. It was Yuan Fu from the Yunyang Sect.

When Yuan Fu saw Wuzhan carrying Qin Moyao out, he said happily: "Daoyou, you are really amazing. You can rescue people from the Poison King Valley." However, he wandered outside for a long time and did not dare to take a step inside.

Ever since Wuzhan left, Yuan Fu was worried that Gushe would get angry and punish him if she didn't see Wuzhan after returning home, so he rushed here to chase him. Even if Wuzhan couldn't get out, he could give him an explanation.

Wuzhan asked directly: "Is there a solution to the soul-destroying and amnesia-causing poison?"

Yuan Fu looked at Qin Moyao in Wuzhan's arms and exclaimed, "Ah, she was poisoned!" Seeing Wuzhan waiting for his answer, he continued, "Let's take care of her funeral. There is no antidote for this poison. Over the past few hundred years, at least dozens of top warriors have died from it."

Wuzhan asked, "Have you ever heard of a magical object that can cure this poison?"

"In fact, a divine doctor has said that there are two magical objects that can cure this poison. One is the Soul-Forging Grass, and the other is the Tears of Nuwa. Although the Soul-Forging Grass is a diluted object, it does exist. If you get this magical grass, you can strengthen the soul and break the mirror. Every time it appears, it will attract countless Daluo realm masters to fight for it. However, the Tears of Nuwa are only a legend. It is said that after Nuwa fell, she turned into a tear and was worshipped as a holy object by her descendants. It is unknown whether the descendants of Nuwa still exist in this world. Where can you find them, Taoist friend?"

Qin Moyao moved in Wuzhan's arms, as if she heard Yuan Fu's words, "Let's go, I hear the sound of the sea, take me to the beach to see the moon."

Yuan Fu said: "I hope you will come back with me to Yunyang Sect. I believe the ancestor has already returned. Maybe the ancestor is knowledgeable and has a solution."

Wuzhan thought that even if he rushed back, it would take at least seven or eight days. By then, Qin Moyao might have already died. Besides, there was no way to cure the Soul Poison Guyue. Yuan Fu said this just to make him go back as soon as possible. "Elder Yuan, please go back first. This place is very close to the Arena City. I want to get some information there."

Yuan Fu thought that Qin Moyao would not live for too long. When Wuzhan gave up, she would naturally go back. There was no need to rush. “Well, then I will go back and report to the ancestor. I will be waiting for you in Yunyang Sect!” After saying that, he turned and left.

……

The sea breeze is blowing gently, the waves are washing the beach, and two bright moons are leaving two streaks of light on the sea, sparkling and very intoxicating.

Qin Moyao snuggled in Wuzhan's arms, fascinated by the sight, and actually fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, when she woke up, she said, "It's so beautiful here. Hey, why are there two moons here? Isn't that one in the water?"

Wuzhan replied in a low voice: "There are originally two moons in this world." Qin Moyao had asked this question three times, and it was obvious that she had lost her memory.

Qin Moyao murmured, "How I envy them. They are always together and never alone." She felt sad and shed a few tears.

"Tick!" A drop of blood fell on the back of Qin Moyao's hand. Wuzhan hurried to look at the palm of Qin Moyao's hand, and two bloody words "Wuzhan" were clearly visible. Obviously, Qin Moyao had realized that she was beginning to lose her memory, and she carved these two words in fear that she would forget his name.

Wuzhan actually took the initiative to hold Qin Moyao's hand, and a pain in his heart, a pain he had never experienced before, happened at this moment.

……

"Why did you bring me here so late?" a woman's voice came from behind.

"Of course it's something important." A man replied.

Wuzhan quickly took Qin Moyao to hide and listened quietly to their conversation.

"Hate it, ..., tell me something important first."

"The three masters of the Sanxiao Palace are coming to the Arena City."

"So what? What does this have to do with us?"

"You see, the three hall masters are out together, so something big is going to happen. The target is likely to be the city lord. Once they start fighting, the city lord will definitely be defeated. Then you will be free, and we will leave here and fly away together. So, be careful these days and protect yourself to avoid being affected."

"Is your information reliable?"

"This is the news I got from Sanxiao Palace, but it cost a lot of money, my dear, don't worry!"

"what……"

……

The Arena City is the most prosperous castle on this continent, and most of the transactions take place here. Not only humans, but also transformed monsters travel in the city. More importantly, this is the only way to the Falling Star State, and the exotic treasures brought back will attract strong men to fight for them, hence the name.

This city is protected by Xiaoyao Palace. If weak people obtain rare treasures and pass through here or trade here, after giving the city lord enough benefits, the city lord will arrange for people to escort them or keep them temporarily until the transaction is completed.

The city lord Nie Su is a powerful person in the Daluo realm. His strength is not weak to begin with. With the Xiaoyao Palace behind him, no forces, big or small, dare to offend him easily. As a result, he has obtained a lot of rare treasures in the past few hundred years.

There was an arena in the city, which was a designated place for fighting or life-and-death duels. Many people came to watch, and it gradually evolved into a casino for gamblers.

"City Lord Nie, do you dare to come out and gamble with the Sanxiao Palace?" The voice was deep and could be heard throughout the Arena City.

With a swish, City Lord Nie Su appeared in the arena. He was a white-haired old man. Looking up, he saw the three hall masters of Sanxiao Hall floating down. "What do you three hall masters want to bet with me?" The Great Hall Master Yunxiao said, "Here I have what Xiaoyao Hall wants the most. City Lord, you will know after one look." Then he threw a black bag in front of Nie Su.

Nie Su opened the bag and looked at it carefully. His eyes widened immediately. "How did you get it?"

Yunxiao pulled the bag and it returned to his hand. "Don't ask, City Lord. If you want to get it, how about a bet with me?"

Nie Su said: "I wonder what the Grand Palace Master wants from me?"

"Of course it's something of equal value, the Soul Casting Grass in the hands of the City Lord."

Nie Su was shocked. This was the immortal herb he had just obtained, which he would use to break the mirror in the future. He had not even reported it to Xiaoyao Palace, but he did not want to let the news spread. "How did you know?"

"Of course I can't tell you that. I just want to ask if the city lord dares to bet?"

Nie Su thought about it for a long time. If he didn't gamble, Xiaoyao Palace would definitely punish him if they knew that he gave up this opportunity today. But if he lost the bet, he would have to hand over the Soul-Forging Grass to others.

Seeing that Nie Su did not reply, Yun Xiao continued, "The news has already spread. Even if the city lord does not bet, Xiaoyao Palace will know about it. At that time, the Soul Forging Grass may not be left to the city lord. But if the bet is won, it will be a great achievement for Xiaoyao Palace. The Soul Forging Grass will belong to the city lord."

Nie Su made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you. How do we bet?"

Yunxiao said: "Although the three of us sisters are in the Daluo realm, we have all stepped into the Hunyuan realm half a step. It is not fair for us to duel with you. Therefore, how about I send a disciple in the palace who is at the same realm as the city lord to duel with the city lord?"

Nie Su thought, except for the three hall masters, the other disciples of the Sanxiao Hall were all average in strength. After all, there were only a handful of strong people in this continent. "Okay, I'll take it!"

At this time, many people had gathered around the Colosseum. This was the first time that the city lord had a duel in the Colosseum, and the gamblers had already started placing bets.

Yunxiao said: "Come out, Shenxiao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in a black robe and with a dark face landed in the center of the field and faced Nie Su.

Nie Su looked at Shen Xiao with a contemptuous smile, and took out a purple fairy grass. The fairy grass was full of soul, and its root was similar to the shape of the doll, and the whole body was bright. It was obvious that it was the soul-casting grass. Nie Su put the soul-casting grass into a specific space in the venue, and Yun Xiao also put the bag in it. This space can only be opened if one party dies in battle or voluntarily gives up.

"The Sanxiao Palace is really not righteous enough. They didn't even inform the city lord to come and watch such a good show."

Yun Xiao looked up and frowned slightly, seeing that the City Lord of Jiandi City, Mo Wang, had actually learned the news. His coming here was not a good thing, "City Lord Mo is well-informed, he came here without being notified."

Seeing that Mo Wang had also come to the Arena City, Nie Su knew that he would not be able to control the situation. He just sent a message to his subordinates, asking them to send a message to Xiaoyao City, but he saw that Palace Master Ye Qi had already appeared in the stands. It was obvious that he knew the news in advance.

Nie Su sighed in his heart. He thought no one would know that he had obtained the Soul-Forging Grass, but he never expected that everyone in the world knew about it.

"Palace Master Ye, long time no see!" Mo Wang bowed to Ye Qi in the stands.

Ye Qi was a burly man with a sharp gaze. "City Lord Mo, if you wanted to come, why didn't you let me know so that I can prepare!"

"Time is tight, don't blame me, don't blame me, haha!" Mo Wang gave a dry laugh.

This is a rare sight, the three dragon heads gathered in the Arena City.

Nie Su gained confidence and said to Shenlong, "Fellow Daoist, take it!" He used his magic domain to attack Shenlong, and the vast magic domain was like a river bursting its dam.

Shenxiao waved his long sleeves without dodging, and the attacking magic domain was completely absorbed by his long sleeves.

The people watching exclaimed, "Absorbing the domain!" If there is such a domain, it would be invincible in the same realm, because any domain is ineffective against it. Recalling that no one in this continent has ever heard of such a domain.

Nie Su's heart trembled. This was the first time he had seen such a magic domain. It was useless to use the magic domain again. Fortunately, he had accumulated a lot of rare treasures over the years. He threw out a black cube, and the cube suddenly became larger, covering the sky and the sun and pressing down towards the mirage dragon.

Those who bet on the city owner to win began to get excited.

Shenxiao raised the giant seal in the air with one hand. The surrounding soil and rocks rose up and the ground cracked, showing its power.

Nie Su flew out three swords of different colors and formed seals with his hands. The three swords circled and shot towards Shen Xiao from three sides. Shen Xiao shouted and waved his other hand. "Bang bang bang" the three swords shot at the ice cover. The hand holding the giant seal shook, and the giant seal was pushed out and fell outside the field.

"Double magic domains!" Everyone exclaimed again. Absorbing magic domains is rare, and double magic domains are unheard of. When did such a strong man appear? Those who bet on the city lord to win began to lose heart.

Nie Su was extremely shocked. How could he defeat such a monster? But he couldn't afford to lose, so he had to go on and raised his Soul Sword to stab the Mirage.

Shenxiao also raised his soul sword, and the two swords collided in the air like two meteorites colliding, causing the heaven and earth to roar and flames to surge.

Ye Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the mirage dragon in the field. He always felt that this person was not at this level.

Mo Wang also had a look of suspicion on his face. This Shen Xiao's moves seemed familiar, and he felt like he had seen this person somewhere.

After several rounds of fighting in the air, Shen Xiao saw the opportunity and stabbed Nie Su's left rib with a sword. There was a "clang..." sound. It was obvious that Nie Su was protected by soft armor. This was unexpected. This soft armor must be a magic weapon, so it would be difficult for the soul sword to hurt it. In this way, if the means of the Hunyuan realm were not used, it would be difficult to determine the winner.

Shen Xiao cast an ice domain to cover Nie Su. When Nie Su swung his sword to break the ice, Shen Xiao appeared behind him and stabbed the sword into the back of Nie Su. The soft armor was immediately broken and the sword pierced through the chest.

He used the ice as a cover, split open space and rushed out from behind Nie Su, using the soul power of the Hunyuan realm to pierce the soft armor.

Nie Su let out an "Ah..." and his body stiffened. He turned back to look at Shen Xiao in disbelief. Of course, he still hadn't figured out how Shen Xiao did it.

There were exclamations from the audience, and it was obvious that the winner had been decided.

At this time, someone in the stands outside the stadium shouted, "Sanxiao Palace is cheating, she is in the Hunyuan realm."
