Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 175 The fox's tail has finally been revealed!
However, when Wei Wuya looked at Yaoyue, Yaoyue's gaze was fixed on Shen Ping'an.

His eyes unconsciously lost some of their coldness and arrogance, and gained a touch more gentleness.

Noticing the tenderness in Yaoyue's eyes when she looked at Shen Ping'an, Wei Wuya gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly with both hands, the veins on the back of his hands standing out like rat claws.

When his gaze fell on Shen Ping'an's handsome face, which made Wei Wuya feel envious, jealous and hateful, Wei Wuya's already ugly face became extremely ferocious.

Fueled by anger and jealousy, Wei Wuyuan let out a low growl and slammed both hands on the armrest.

In an instant, dozens of jet-black, hair-thin poison needles, mixed with Wei Wuya's true energy, shot out and rushed towards Shen Ping'an.

Strangely, these fine needles, once shot out, did not stir up even a gust of wind.

If it were in a dimly lit place, let alone ordinary martial artists, even those who have just entered the Celestial Realm might have difficulty spotting these poison needles that are as thin as hairs.

However, Wei Wuyuan's target at this moment was not an ordinary person, but Shen Ping'an, who was always cautious in his actions.

The moment Shen Ping'an appeared, he silently enveloped a ten-zhang radius around him with his sword intent, transforming it into a sword domain.

This sword domain is not only filled with Shen Ping'an's own true energy, but also with the power of heaven and earth.

Shen Ping'an noticed the poison needles almost the instant they were released.

As Shen Ping'an circulated his internal energy and sword intent, several sword energies as thin as willow branches and ten feet long instantly condensed in the air, lashing out like nimble whips, accurately severing the dozens of poison needles.

Then, three streaks of sword energy suddenly shot out from the ground a foot in front of Wei Wuya, appearing like streaks of light in a flash.

Before Wei Wuyuan could even react, the sword pierced his chest and forehead.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving +1000 points.]

As the system notification appeared, Shen Ping'an glanced indifferently at Wei Wuyuan's corpse, which had fallen out of the wheelchair.

Even Shen Ping'an had to admit that the little thing was quite unique in appearance.

No wonder confessing his feelings to Yaoyue would provoke her to kill him.

For someone as obsessed with looks as Yaoyue and Lianxing, even if Wei Wuya just walked around in front of them, his appearance would probably make their eyes hurt, let alone make them take the initiative to come up and confess their feelings.

In Yaoyue's eyes, Wei Wuyuan's actions were purely disgusting.

Inside Xiuyu Valley, seeing Wei Wuyuan's corpse lying on the ground, killed by Shen Ping'an in an instant, the other people from Wuming Island shuddered and dared not move.

It was also because of Wei Wuyuan's delay that the man with the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm seemed to have readjusted his mindset.

He clasped his hands in a fist and said to Shen Ping'an, "I am Zhou Jinquan, the current deputy island master of Wuming Island. This time, for the sake of the feud between Wuming Island and Yihua Palace, if Young Master Shen is willing to show leniency, Wuming Island will surely reward you handsomely."

"A generous reward?"

Hearing what Zhou Jinquan said, Shen Ping'an's lips curled into a smile.

"How heavy?"

Seeing that Shen Ping'an responded, Zhou Jinquan felt a little relieved and quickly said, "I know that Young Master Shen has unparalleled talent and has even created the earth-shattering Heaven-rank martial art, 'Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique'."

"With Young Master Shen's talent, he naturally has no shortage of martial arts skills, but Young Master Shen has not yet entered the Celestial Realm."

"If Young Master Shen is willing to be lenient and not interfere in the matter between Wuming Island and Yihua Palace today, Wuming Island is willing to offer a Great Rejuvenation Pill as a token of gratitude."

Shen Ping'an raised an eyebrow at the conditions offered by Zhou Jinquan.

Then, as if intrigued, he looked at Zhou Jinquan and asked, "Interesting. The Great Rejuvenation Pill is a closely guarded secret of Shaolin Temple, extremely rare in both the Southern and Northern Shaolin Temples. How did your Nameless Island obtain this Great Rejuvenation Pill?"

Zhou Jinquan responded, "As a top-tier power, Wuming Island naturally has some special channels and methods. I can guarantee with my life that this Great Rejuvenation Pill is absolutely a treasure. Young Master Shen is already at the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm. If you have this Great Rejuvenation Pill in your hand, it will definitely help you to take your cultivation to the next level and enter the Celestial Human Realm."

"She's quite tight-lipped."

Shen Ping'an originally wanted to get some useful information out of him, but he didn't expect Jin Quan's response this week to be so evasive and not reveal anything.

However, it was only because of this Great Rejuvenating Pill that I suddenly became interested.

Since Zhou Jinquan was not going to answer, Shen Ping'an had no interest in continuing to pursue the matter.

After shifting his gaze from Zhou Jinquan, Shen Ping'an looked at Yaoyue and asked, "What do you want to do with the rest of these people?" Upon hearing this, Yaoyue said in a deep voice, "Arrest them all and force them to reveal the reason why they attacked my Yihua Palace."

Seeing that Shen Ping'an, who had just been interested in the Great Rejuvenation Pill, suddenly turned around and started talking to Yaoyue, Zhou Jinquan sensed something was wrong.

Upon hearing Yaoyue's words, Zhou Jinquan's heart sank even deeper.

Looking at Shen Ping'an's indifferent expression, Zhou Jinquan knew perfectly well that Shen Ping'an didn't take the Great Rejuvenation Pill seriously at all.

Thinking of this, a look of madness suddenly appeared in Zhou Jinquan's eyes.

At this moment, Shen Ping'an, who was standing next to Yaoyue, nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."

It was also as Shen Ping'an uttered the word "good" that his internal energy surged.

The next second, the nine sword shadows in mid-air trembled simultaneously, and then transformed into hundreds of sword energies like blooming fireworks.

The scattered sword energy did not dissipate; instead, it dispersed and headed towards Zhou Jinquan and the other twenty-odd people below.

Sensing something amiss, Zhou Jinquan and the others quickly looked up at the sky.

When they saw the sword energy shooting towards them, everyone's eyes narrowed.

If they hadn't been injured, Zhou Jinquan and the surrounding Heavenly Gang Realm warriors might not have been able to avoid these rapidly approaching sword energies.

Not to mention that Zhou Jinquan and the others were seriously injured because of the "Broken Body Formless Sword Sound" that Shen Ping'an used before, and their strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.

How could Zhou Jinquan and the others possibly dodge these rapidly approaching sword energies?

They could only watch helplessly as the sword energy drew ever closer, until their limbs were pierced by it, and they collapsed to the ground, their consciousness quickly overwhelmed by the despair and pain of losing their limbs.

Especially Zhou Jinquan, as waves of pain crashed against his consciousness, he cursed inwardly.

He never imagined that Shen Ping'an would act so cautiously.

The first thing he did upon agreeing to Yue's request was to cripple the limbs of all of them.

But after a barrage of insults, Zhou Jinquan slowly closed his eyes, his heart gradually filled with despair.

Zhou Jinquan turned his head and gave Shen Ping'an and Yaoyue a venomous look before making a few sounds with his mouth.

A few breaths later, Zhou Jinquan's body suddenly began to tremble.

"Ok?"

Just as Zhou Jinquan's body trembled, Shen Ping'an, who had just withdrawn his true energy, suddenly let out a soft exclamation and looked in Zhou Jinquan's direction.

Seeing the black blood sliding down Zhou Jinquan's lips and his face rapidly turning black, Shen Ping'an narrowed his eyes.

He then took a step and instantly covered several meters, appearing in front of Zhou Jinquan.

As soon as Shen Ping'an got close to Zhou Jinquan, a sweet, fishy smell entered his nostrils.

"This is... the Heart-Eating Poison Powder?"

Shen Ping'an's expression changed slightly when he confirmed that Zhou Jinquan had taken the poison.

This is because the Heart-Eating Poison Powder was the very poison used by the two people who secretly conspired with Master Mu to assassinate Zhang Sanfeng at the Wudang Sect last year when they committed suicide.

It should be noted that the method of preparing the Heart-Eating Poison Powder is extremely special. It not only requires poisons such as Heart-Eating Grass, Ten Thousand Poison Snake, and Boletus luridus, but also needs to be combined with thirty-three different kinds of medicines.

Furthermore, because these drugs have different formulations, their toxicity varies.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of the Heart-Eating Poison Powder that even the so-called divine doctors in the martial arts world are unable to detoxify it if they do not have a specific prescription and know the exact amounts of various medicines used in its preparation.

It can be said that the properties of each type of Heart-Eating Poison Powder will vary depending on the habits of the person who prepares the poison.

However, relying on his ability to "identify medicine by its scent," Shen Ping'an was certain that the Heart-Eating Poison Powder that Zhou Jinquan had taken this week was from the same batch as the Heart-Eating Poison Powder used by the two martial artists from Wudang Sect who committed suicide by poison that day.

"The fox's tail has finally been revealed!"
