Chapter 40 Let’s challenge each other

"Zhu Xiongying, you stupid bitch, how dare you challenge me in a duel!"

Zhu Shangbing cursed fiercely, as if such venting would make him feel happier.

"Okay, let's challenge each other."

A sudden sound came.

Zhu Shangbing was stunned on the spot, turned around and looked around. When he saw Zhu Xiongying holding a machete, his body trembled violently.

"Come."

Zhu Xiongying's face was stern, his right hand held a knife across the sword, and his left hand hooked towards Zhu Shangbing.

"What, what?"

Zhu Shangbing didn't realize how Zhu Xiongying appeared. He thought he was dazzled.

"Isn't that what you said about a one-on-one fight?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled coldly.

‘???’.

Zhu Shangbing's face was full of questions, and the look he looked at Zhu Xiongying seemed to be asking, 'Are you serious?'

Two fists vs machete?

Are you telling me this is a one-on-one challenge?

Zhu Xiongying did not give Zhu Shangbing any extra time to think.

The horizontal machete struck directly, and Zhu Shangbing had no time to dodge, and there was no way to hide. There was a wall behind him.

Zhu Shangbing's pig-like howling sound suddenly sounded in the prison. There was a deep wound on his chest, and blood was dripping.

"The first cut."

"For the innocent girl you killed."

The pupils of Zhu Shangbing's eyes shrank sharply. The severe pain made his mind extremely clear. He leaned against the wall little by little. In his eyes at this moment, Zhu Xiongying was like a demon.

The guards outside the prison were so frightened that their hearts were beating wildly.

Oh my god, this is really cool!

Even Chang Tianci had a look of surprise on his face. He originally thought that His Highness Taisun was just talking angrily, but he didn't expect that he was actually going to kill someone with a knife.

Your Highness Taisun is so proud!

Chang Tianci's admiration for His Highness Taisun increased even more.

At this time, Bao Zhao, who had just trotted into the Tianlao gate, heard Zhu Shangbing's pig howl before he could take a breath. The veins on his forehead jumped violently, and he quickly quickened his pace.

I thought it wouldn't matter if something happened to Zhu Shangbing, after all, they were all the ones who were going to die tonight, and if something unexpected happened to His Highness Taisun, even if he chopped off his head, it wouldn't be enough to compensate him!

Inside the cell.

"The second knife."

Zhu Xiongying had no expression on his face, and he slashed forward again. The angle of this slash and the first slash were just wrong, and they crossed into a perfect bloody X on Zhu Shangbing's chest.

Zhu Shangbing's howl once again resounded throughout the prison.

Zhu Shangbing, who had been stabbed twice, could no longer stand and collapsed on the ground in a pool of blood. He tried his best to open his eyes and look at Zhu Xiongying. His eyes were full of fear and uncontrollable hatred.

"This, the second, the second knife, for, why..."

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Shangbing asked.

"No reason, I just want to kill you."

'puff'!

A mouthful of old blood spurted out, this time in anger, and then he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Zhu Xiongying threw the machete away, wiped the blood on his hand with a handkerchief, turned around and walked out of the cell.

"Give it to him to eat."

He handed the kneeling jailer a bottle of elixirs, which contained high-quality blood-coagulating elixirs. They could save Zhu Shangbing's life, but he was basically half useless.

"Obey, obey the order!"

The two jailers were frightened. They quickly picked up the vial and rushed into the cell. One of them opened Zhu Shangbing's mouth, and the other stuffed the pills into his mouth.

"Your Highness!"

Bao Zhao also rushed over at this time. He smelled the smell of blood from a distance. When he saw Zhu Xiongying's body stained with blood, he was so shocked that he lost his composure. When he came to Zhu Xiongying, he knelt down.

"For disturbing His Royal Highness's noble body, I deserve death!"

"Get up, I am alone."

Zhu Xiongying slashed Zhu Shangbing twice, and the depression in his heart was relieved a lot. He looked at the old man in front of him with interest, who stood up gasping for breath after being helped by others.

His face was pale and his lips were black.

This is obviously a sign of poisoning.

"Shang Shu Bao, is he testing the poison on his own body?"

Zhu Xiongying was very curious. This old man is already so old. Does he think his life is too long?

"this…"

Bao Zhao was very embarrassed and could only repeat the story of choosing poisonous wine to Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Damn it, why didn’t I think of this?

Zhu Xiongying's original plan was to have Bao Zhao escort Zhu Shangbing to Xiaoling Mausoleum outside the city, give him a glass of wine, and send Zhu Shangbing back to the west.

Before Zhu Shangbing drank the poisonous wine, his shadow guards would rescue him and send Zhu Shangbing out of the capital city of Zhili, so that Zhu Shangbing could successfully escape back to Qin and incite his father to rebel.

However, firstly, the operation is a bit troublesome.

Second, Bao Zhao will be charged with dereliction of duty, and Bao Zhao will definitely be punished.

Zhu Xiongying still had a good impression of this violent old man who was not irritable.

"have eaten."

Zhu Xiongying handed Bao Zhao a pale white pill like a magic trick.

"This is..."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the elixir."

Bao Zhao looked at the white pill with surprise and uncertainty.

However, he did not dare to delay too much. After all, this was a gift of medicine, and he had to swallow it even if it was poison. He quickly took it and swallowed it in one gulp.

I can only pray in my heart that the elixir given by His Royal Highness will not make me more poisonous.

Zhu Xiongying walked towards the outside of the Heavenly Prison, with Bao Zhao following closely. He found that the discomfort in his body had subsided quickly, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He thought that His Highness Taisun's elixir was really useful.

The Shenglong Pill given by His Highness?

Thinking of this, Bao Zhao couldn't wait to go home. He had long wanted to show off his power in front of Xin Na's concubine.

"There is no need to choose Zhu Shangbing's poison, just blend it into wine and let him drink it."

Zhu Xiongying handed Bao Zhao a diamond-shaped box the size of half a finger.

Most of the usual alchemy tasks are elixirs that are helpful for cultivation and health, but occasionally some tasks for refining poisonous elixirs are released.

For example, the poisonous elixir contained in this diamond-shaped box is named ‘Heart-Eating’.

After a person swallows it, he will enter a state of suspended animation for a short period of time. After the suspended animation ends, the person will return to normal. However, starting from the third day, as long as the sun shines on the person, he will be like thousands of ants eating his heart, and life will be worse than death.

Moreover, this heart-eating pill also has an advantage that Zhu Xiongying likes the most.

If you swallow this elixir, you will live forever.

For a pervert like Zhu Shangbing who enjoys playing with young girls, this kind of punishment is probably more painful than the heart-gnawing pain of thousands of ants.

"According to the decree."

The imaginative Bao Zhao took the box.

Since it was given by His Highness Taisun, of course he did not dare to disobey it. This would save him the time to prepare. Besides, he already had a shadow and swore that he would never step into that poisonous criminal prison cell again in his life.

………………

At night, Taisun Mansion.

The moonlight is beautiful and the wind is slightly noisy.

Zhu Xiongying is dressed in brocade and white robes, with his eyes closed and standing alone under the moonlight.

What he stood at his feet was a martial arts stage, which Zhu Xiongying specially built for himself. There were all kinds of weapons on the weapon racks around it.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, except for the sound of Zhu Xiongying's breath control.

Take a deep breath, once.

Take a deep breath, two times.

Take three deep breaths.

Master Zhu suddenly opened his eyes.

"Swordsmanship!"
