Chapter 156: Gu Worm

He spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at him. Knowing that he had no way of exacting revenge, he grinned and said quietly, “You won’t succeed.”

Mu Si pulled out his sword forcefully and he fell to the ground.

It happened too quickly for Xia Muqing to do anything. By the time she reacted, Jiang Yifan had already fallen to the ground.

She quickly ran over and hugged his body with pain in her eyes. Although she was bitterly disappointed, it was still her fault. If she had noticed that something was wrong with him earlier, he wouldn’t have taken the wrong path.

Jiang Yifan’s eyes lit up. “Sister, I’m sorry. Don’t be sad. I’m going to find my father and mother. Live well. He wanted me to poison you, but I didn’t listen to him. It’s just…” He turned around and glanced at Ye Qingxuan. He said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Jin Chao. ”

“Yifan, Yifan…” So he knew that Ye Qingxuan was Jin Chao. No wonder he would become like this.

Mu Si looked at Xia Muqing, who was in grief and he mocked, “Why are you crying? It’ll be your turn later.”

With a wave of his hand, the entire banquet hall started to become chaotic. His men stood together with Ye Qingxuan’s men. Mu Si wasn’t bothered with Ye Qingxuan, who was poisoned, and he walked towards Xia Muqing.

He said, “Don’t blame me. Back then, your mother betrayed me and married that useless bum. She gave birth to a vile spawn like you. When she gave birth to you, she should have known that such a day would come. Since your mother is already dead, I’ll let you apologize on her behalf.”

Xia Muqing looked at the man and sneered. “Do you really think I don’t know anything? You were the one who deceived my mother first. You wanted to obtain the most precious treasure of the Jin country and you deceived a woman’s feelings. I despise your methods.”

Mu Si’s expression darkened and his eyes turned red. He hissed angrily, “I can explain what happened back then. Why did she leave without a word and immediately married someone else? She clearly wanted to betray me for a long time.”

“If my mother wanted to betray you, she wouldn’t have betrayed the Jin country for you. No matter what difficulties you have, it is your fault for hurting a woman who loves you as much as her life.”

Mu Si growled angrily. Xia Muqing’s existence was evidence that woman had betrayed him. She had actually married another man and even had a child with him. Jealousy and anger flooded his heart, and he aimed his sword at her chest.

Before the sword in his hand reached Xia Muqing, it froze. Ye Qingxuan extended two fingers and pinched the tip of the sword, preventing it from moving at all.

What shocked Mu Si even more was that Ye Qingxuan could still move. “Impossible, how can you still move after being poisoned by my Gu worm? Were… you not poisoned at all?”

Thinking of this possibility, he snorted coldly and retracted his sword to fight Ye Qingxuan.

After a while, he was certain that Ye Qingxuan wasn’t poisoned. Otherwise, why would he be fine?

Xia Muqing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Ye Qingxuan was in a normal state. She carried Jiang Yifan and walked towards the side. She had already protected his heart meridians in time, but whether he survived or not depended on his fate.

After putting his body in a safe place, Xia Muqing returned to the battlefield. The ministers at the banquet fled, and only a few people remained. The rest were Mu Si and Ye Qingxuan’s men.

She took a look at the battle between Ye Qingxuan and Mu Si. She heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that he could handle the situation. She then helped the soldiers of king Zhennan to defeat Mu Si’s men.

Seeing the outcome, Mu Si roared and attacked even more ferociously.

Ye Qingxuan responded accordingly, but the pain in his body caused his face to turn pale and the sword in his hand trembled slightly. Mu Si, who didn’t miss his pain, had a look of realization and said, “Lad, you were poisoned by my Gu worm, right? You actually managed to suppress the Gu worm I refined and fight me. You’re not bad.”

Admiration flashed across his eyes, but his actions became more aggressive.

Ye Qingxuan didn’t say a word as he quickened his actions. The violent reaction in his body was causing him to break down. With a sharp gaze, he didn’t dodge the sword and instead rushed forward. The sword instantly pierced through his shoulder and the sword in his hand successfully pierced through Mu Si’s chest.

Mu Si didn’t expect him to hit him like that. In his carelessness, he really succeeded. The pain from his chest agitated his nerves, but he acted as if nothing had happened from the fatal wound that was fatal to an ordinary person.

No blood flowed out from the wound. He laughed and walked past Ye Qingxuan to Xia Muqing.. He reached out and squeezed her neck. “You didn’t expect that, right? I don’t have a heart at all…”
