In the Kunning Palace, the lights were still on.

Qin Chuyu remained unconscious, and the palace attendants dared not even breathe loudly.

Empress Xiao and Nan Xiang had been by his side the whole time. Eunuch Su saw Empress Xiao looking haggard, with even bloodshot eyes, but he didn't dare to advise her.

Empress Xiao's eyes were swollen, her throat hoarse from crying.

She held Qin Chuyu's hand, stroking his pale face, her voice choked with emotion, "Little Seven, you must hold on... You mustn't have any mishaps... As long as you wake up... This imperial mother will grant you anything... This imperial mother won't force you to study anymore... Nor will she force you to practice calligraphy... If you don't want to go to the Imperial Academy... This imperial mother won't send you there... Whatever snacks you wish to eat... This imperial mother will give it to you... Just don't let anything happen to you..."

Qin Chuyu's small body began to convulse.

Nan Xiang quickly stood up, grabbed Qin Chuyu's sleeve, and saw that the gray-white mark on his wrist had spread to the palm of his hand. Once it reached his fingertips, it would be too late.

"Physician Nan! How is Little Seven?" Empress Xiao asked tearfully.

Nan Xiang replied, "His condition is worse than this subject expected! My antidote can't suppress it anymore! We won't make it until dawn!"

She glanced at the hourglass on the wall, her expression complex, "At most... At most, there's only two more hours. If JiaoJiao can't bring back the antidote by the fourth quarter of the period of choushi(1-3 am)..."

Then… It would probably be too late even if the Great Heavenly Immortals descended to earth.

Empress Xiao collapsed onto Qin Chuyu, sobbing uncontrollably, "Little Seven! Little Seven——"

……

Outside the Fenghuang Pavilion, the night was dark and the wind was high.

Gu Jiao and the black-robed man had already fought for a hundred rounds. Time went by, and Gu Jiao's stamina dwindled bit by bit.

She underestimated the realm of Tian Lang. Last time in the snowy mountains, she had employed trickery, not allowing Tian Lang to unleash his true strength.

Now encountering another Tian Lang, she realized just how terrifying an expert of this realm could be.

Gu Jiao's arms and abdomen had suffered minor injuries, and this was with the assistance of her red-tasseled spear. Otherwise, with a regular weapon, she would have been crushed by the opponent's long blade like a mud.

Furthermore, Gu Jiao noticed something: this guy coveted her weapon.

Why did every expert like Tian Lang want her red-tasseled spear?

The black-robed man swung his long blade once again.

Gu Jiao's spear moved like a dragon, entwining his long blade!

As their weapons clashed, a series of sparks flew in the dark night!

Neither of them yielded an inch, with their faces mere inches apart; even the murderous intent in their eyes engaged in fierce combat against each other.

Gu Jiao kicked out, which the other party countered with his own foot. Both of them fell back, but Gu Jiao was thrown back farther.

Things were getting ugly for her.

If they kept fighting like this, she couldn't kill him even by daybreak.

Gu Jiao knelt on one knee, supporting her nearly exhausted body with the long spear and panting heavily as she looked at the enemy with bloody eyes.

Suddenly, Gu Jiao stood up, revealing a fierce, beast-like gaze.

She raised her left hand, hooked her finger, and grabbed the amulet around her neck.

She tore off the safety amulet Princess Xinyang gave her, fist facing downwards, and as she opened her hand, the amulet slowly fell to the ground.

The black-robed man looked at the youth opposite him strangely, not understanding what ‘he’ was doing.

The youth then stuck out ‘his’ tongue, licking the blood at the corner of ‘his’ lips.

The next moment, the youth’s aura suddenly soared!

The God of Slaughter had returned!

The black-robed man felt a threat almost instinctively.

Logically, the youth’s strength should have been far below his, so he shouldn't have felt this way.

The youth attacked him again, ‘his’ moves not much different from before. The youth’s spear techniques seemed to have been taught by someone, which were exceptionally simple, just a few moves back and forth.

However, each move was a killing blow!

The youth gripped the red-tasseled spear with both hands and fiercely slashed it towards him!

He blocked with his blade.

To his surprise, although the youth’s moves were the same as before, the power seemed to have increased several times. His hands and arms felt numb!

Without giving the black-robed man any chance to recover, the second spear thrust came at him. This time, the black-robed man still chose to defend with his blade, but the tremendous force of the red-tasseled spear pressed down on his raised long blade, causing him to sink several inches into the ground!

What did this youth just do?

How did ‘his’ strength increase so much?

When the youth’s third spear strike came slashing towards him, he finally ceased his defensive stance and launched an attack head-on. Unexpectedly, he was forced back more than ten steps by the youth’s red-tasseled spear!

The youth, on the other hand, didn’t budge an inch!

A strong sense of shock flashed in the black-robed man's eyes.

It was true that he hadn't used all his strength when fighting this youth, because he couldn't afford to. He was like a fine horse that could travel up to four hundred miles in a day but would die if it ran the full four hundred miles.

At first, he had only used fifty percent of his strength, feeling quite confident.

But now he had to use sixty percent.

Since arriving in the State of Zhao, this was the first person who had forced him to use sixty percent of his strength.

The two clashed for several rounds, with each of the youth’s moves more ruthless than the last, without any feints, just deadly strikes!

The black-robed man suffered both internal and external injuries, enduring pain from all parts of his body.

In contrast, although the youth was also injured, ‘he’ seemed to not feel any pain at all, attacking relentlessly despite ‘his’ wounds tearing and bleeding. He seemed indifferent to ‘his’ own life!

Losing the sense of pain during combat was actually a very dangerous thing. Wherever it hurt indicated where the body could no longer bear force. Once this judgment was lost, the consequences could be extremely terrible.

Gu Jiao's spear struck again, carrying the momentum of mountains and rivers, with a majestic killing intent!

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the black-robed man decided not to hold back against the youth any longer. He directly increased his power by eighty percent, more than enough to overwhelm the youth’s level!

Of course, this was also the limit of his safe combat. Going any further would mean sacrificing a thousand to kill one enemy, or perishing together with the enemy.

Being able to kill this youth was worth getting some injuries.

Thinking like this, the black-robed man launched his most fierce move against the youth.

He thought he could finally end the youth in front of him, but unexpectedly, the youth’s aura soared again!

How could this be!?

The black-robed man was simply dumbfounded!

He gritted his teeth.

Very well, then let‘s die together!
