Refining to 100% Chapter 5

"but..."

"Cousin, you must go to the competition in five years, right? By then, even if you are at the fifth level of Qi training, how confident are you that you can defeat a cultivator of the same level? In the end, you still need to rely on some tricks."

"Well... okay, I can give you the technique in exchange. You can wait for me outside."

"Wait." Adrian Cai said with a smile: "Cousin, don't fool me with other things, I only want four..."

He Dong's face changed, and he said sternly: "That one doesn't exist."

"No? If others say no, I would believe it. Cousin, you have gained so much since your uncle became the deacon. Apart from other things, if it weren't for your uncle, with your qualifications, you might not have reached your current level."

He Dong's face darkened immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, since my cousin has spoken, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse. Please wait here, I will bring the things over."

He immediately stood up and called out, "Come here, please treat me to some fragrant tea." Immediately, a maid brought in tea.

Ethan Hu looked at the direction the maid left, then looked at the tea in front of him, and his eyes twitched.

He Dong said: "This is the fairy tea from Lingshou Mountain, called Heart Green, also known as Changchun Stem. It is very effective in refreshing the heart and lungs. You two may want to try it." After saying this, he raised his glass to indicate.

Ethan Hu picked up the cup, took a sip, and secretly pierced his finger with his right fingernail.

Adrian Cai, on the other hand, had no worries. He sipped tea and looked around.

After a while, He Dong came out with two bamboo slips in his hands. Seeing Adrian Cai looking around, he smiled and said, "Cousin, come and sit down. After the exchange is completed, I will take you to enjoy it."

Ethan Hu asked: "Brother He, can you show me the bamboo slips now?"

"sure."

He Dong handed a bamboo slip to Ethan Hu. Ethan Hu took it with his right hand, opened it, and saw that it was completely blank.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and sat there silently.

Adrian Cai also finished reading his bamboo slips and asked in confusion: "Cousin, why is this bamboo slip blank?"

He Dong smiled slightly, and in an instant, five dark chains suddenly emerged from the chairs of Ethan Hu and the other man, two of which locked their upper bodies, and three of which locked their lower bodies, instantly trapping the two men on the chairs.

Adrian Cai tried to struggle, his face changed drastically, and he showed an ugly smile, "Cousin, don't joke like that."

However, before he could finish his words, thousands of silver needles suddenly shot out from the opposite wall.

He was startled and frowned, and a shadow of aqua blue armor immediately flashed on his body.

However, the shadow only flashed for a moment before disappearing immediately.

The silver needle flew past and instantly pierced him into a bloody man.

"My magic power... Cousin, you poisoned me..."

He Dong shook his head and said, "Cousin, don't blame me. Although I really want your magic weapon, you have insulted me too much. I must kill you."

"I...where is..."

He Dong snorted, "Although others respect me, it's all because of my father. In fact, they don't take me seriously at all! You are the same! When I get your magic weapon and become famous in Lingshou Mountain, those guys will really be afraid of me!"

"Cousin, don't... I'm your cousin!"

He Dong laughed, "Yesterday, right where you are sitting now, your cousin's wife said the same thing, and later she became fertilizer for the flowers in the garden."

"I warned her a long time ago, but she still took advantage of the fact that her brother was a disciple of Wuliang Island and made fun of me everywhere."

Adrian Cai panicked, "No, don't kill me, I'll give you everything I have, I..."

He was so scared that he burst into tears and wanted to beg for mercy again, but He Dong stabbed his heart with a sword.

After doing all this, he looked at Ethan Hu again, but was surprised to find that Ethan Hu seemed to have seen nothing and was still sitting there with an expressionless face.

He snorted, "Fellow Daoist Wu Liu, are you scared silly?"

Ethan Hu looked at him calmly, "Although I am timid, I can stand being frightened."

He Dong laughed loudly and said, "You are worthy of your name. Among those who died on this chair, you are the most open-minded one."

Ethan Hu shook his head and said, "In my opinion, I won't die yet."

"Yeah?"

He Dong's eyes widened, and the mechanism on the opposite wall immediately shot out hundreds of silver needles.

At this moment, Ethan Hu suddenly tilted his body and jumped off the chair in an instant. Although the silver needle pierced the chair with holes, it did not hurt a single corner of his clothes.

"You?" He Dong exclaimed in surprise, and then he noticed that the chain that was supposed to lock Ethan Hu's body was actually blocked by his arm in advance. From the front, it looked locked, but in fact it was just hanging on his body.

"Do you know there is a mechanism on this chair?"

Ethan Hu nodded, "You must be on guard against others, but you must not have the intention to harm others. Since you poisoned me, I will naturally be on guard."

"Oh? You knew I poisoned you?"

"The exotic flower is not poisonous, and the tea is not poisonous either, but when the two are combined, they are extremely poisonous. If not for this, your cousin's magic might be able to resist for a while."

He Dong nodded in praise, "Good, I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

Ethan Hu said: "Although my realm is low, the past few decades have not been lived in vain."

"Even if you're not poisoned, with your strength, you're probably going to die."

"I have fought for several years to get this opportunity. I want to become an immortal. I will not sit still and wait for death."

"Oh? Then you..."

He Dong was about to say something else when he suddenly felt his chest sink. The world was spinning around him and he fell onto the chair.

He opened his mouth wide, used his magic power to check, and uttered a few words with difficulty, "You...you also poisoned it?"

Ethan Hu nodded expressionlessly, "The moment I took your bamboo slips, I poisoned them. I was forced to do so in order to protect myself."

He Dong's whole body was twitching, but he suddenly took a breath, and a red glow appeared on his face, as if he had used his magic power to suppress the poison.

"I was so careless that I didn't even notice it."

Ethan Hu's mouth curled up, "My realm is not high, but I am quite confident in using poison. With your realm, if I don't let you notice, you naturally won't notice it. Of course, if it's your father, it's possible."

He Dong always disliked others mentioning his father, and he became furious and immediately let go of his suppression. He thrust out the long sword in his hand in an instant, and immediately went towards Ethan Hu's chest.

"clang!"

Ethan Hu dodged immediately, but he underestimated He Dong's speed. With a "puff" sound, his left shoulder was pierced instantly.

He Dong's face flushed, and he drew his sword and swept it across, aiming for Ethan Hu's head again.

Ethan Hu retreated immediately, but he was still a step too slow and a bloody cut was instantly made on his chest.

"Die!" He Dong shouted angrily, leaped towards Ethan Hu, and stabbed his sword straight into Ethan Hu's heart.

Ethan Hu's movements slowed down and he had no way to avoid it, so he could only subconsciously use his hands to block it.

"Puff!"

The long sword instantly pierced through his two palms and was about to pierce his heart, but suddenly stopped.

He endured the pain and moved his bloody hand away. He saw that He Dong's eyes were bulging and blood was gushing out of his seven orifices. It turned out that he had died suddenly from the poison.
