Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1012 - 1010: You Want to Fight, Then Let’s Fight! [Third Update]

Chapter 1012: Chapter 1010: You Want to Fight, Then Let’s Fight! [Third Update]

"The one who poisoned me, that person is Qi Bing!"

Li Jianyang’s face contorted fiercely as he looked toward Qi Bing.

He had only thought of having Qi Bing avenge him, to make a move against Xiao Yi.

He had never intended to stake his own life!

But the outcome...

Qi Bing, for some reason unknown, targeted him with poison, wishing to use his life to drag Xiao Yi down with him.

Before this.

Li Jianyang knew full well that he was deeply poisoned and his life was not long for this world; he had no choice but to be at Qi Bing’s disposal. But now, Xiao Yi had acted to cure part of the Oblivion Mercury poison in his body, giving him hope of living, giving him hope to continue being the lofty Saint Heir.

Once the resignation to death was gone.

How could he perform an act of mutual destruction?

One side was life!

One side was death!

Naturally, he chose life!

Boom!

Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically, and a set of astonished eyes uniformly turned toward Qi Bing. Even those standing beside Qi Bing like Hong Sandao could hardly believe it: "How could this be possible? The poisoner is really Qi Bing?"

"Qi, the Lord of Qi Territory, has always treated Li Jianyang like his own son; how could he poison him?"

"He, he might have been forced by Xiao Yi to say this, right?"

Qi Bing looked at Xiao Yi coldly, forcing himself to appear calm, clapping his hands together: "Good, good, good, Xiao Yi, you really have some impressive tactics. I didn’t expect you could still perform such deception right in front of the Saint Heir. Unfortunately, you were almost perfect, but you overlooked one detail. Everyone knows that there’s no cure for the Oblivion Mercury, yet you could so easily neutralize the poison. That is the biggest flaw!"

"The Lord of Qi Territory is right; if he wasn’t the one who poisoned, how could there possibly be an antidote?" Liu Yu suddenly understood.

Zhao Mingpeng’s face was sullen: "What a vicious mind!"

This time, even Zou Shaolong and Ge Tianhuang did not know how to defend themselves.

The poisoner controls the antidote.

Isn’t that the most normal thing?

If Xiao Yi did not poison, then where would he get the antidote from?

Seeing the change in everyone’s expressions, Qi Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the attack, looking at Li Jianyang with a feigned heartbroken expression: "I’m not surprised Xiao Yi framed me, but Jianyang, I never ever imagined that to save your own life, you would also condemn me. It pains me how I have regarded you as my own for all these years... You really have let me down..."

Zhao Mingpeng scolded: "Li Jianyang, are you even human?"

"Li Jianyang, you are unjust!" Hong Sandao shouted angrily.

Li Jianyang’s face alternated between shades of green and white. He had not anticipated at all that Qi Bing would retort, shifting all the blame onto him.

He spoke anxiously: "You’re spouting nonsense... When I sought you out yesterday, it was only to ask for your help in taking revenge against Xiao Yi. But just now, your divine sense appeared inside the carriage, making me take the Oblivion Mercury, intending to frame Xiao Yi and have him join me in death. All of this is your plot and scheme..."

Plop!

Li Jianyang directly knelt before the Saint Heir, weeping loudly: "Saint Heir, all of this was done by Qi Bing, it has nothing to do with me! Please, Saint Heir, discern the truth!"

"Saint Heir, you must believe me!" Qi Bing spoke righteously.

Contrarily, Xiao Yi just crossed his arms over his chest, sitting to the side, observing with a cold eye.

Whew!

The Saint Heir let out a light sigh, his majestic figure rose from his throne, and he strolled toward Li Jianyang. Reaching out a single hand forward, he lay it directly upon the crown of Li Jianyang’s head, and slowly closed his eyes. A moment later, when the Saint Heir opened his eyes again, there was a clarity within them: "I am now aware of the truth; there’s no need for further debate!"

All the while speaking.

The Saint Heir’s icy gaze swept a look at Qi Bing.

"It’s over!"

Qi Bing’s entire body trembled.

That one glance, as if seeing right through him, brought on a pervasive bone-chilling cold as if he fell into a millennia-old ice pit, despair flooding his entire being.

Despair.

Darkness.

Helplessness.

As well as bewilderment...

Qi Bing trembled all over, hanging his head low, daring not to look up at the Saint Master anymore. He knew everything was exposed.

The Saint Master said indifferently, "Qi Bing, what else do you have to say?"

Seeing this scene, how could anyone still not understand the true nature of the matter.

One by one, they looked at Qi Bing with sympathy and pity.

Ge Tianhuang let out a light sigh, "Qi Bing, why put yourself through this?"

"Why indeed?"

Qi Bing suddenly raised his head to look at Ge Tianhuang. At this point, he knew that he could not escape death today, not to mention that framing others was an act most despised by the Saint Master. Just by poisoning the Saint Heir alone, he was inexcusable and was undoubtedly doomed to death. Now without any qualms left, he glared at Ge Tianhuang with resentment, "If it weren’t for you, why would I have to do this?"

"Because of me?" Ge Tianhuang was stunned.

Qi Bing struggled to his feet, his fists clenched tightly making a thudding sound of rage, and bellowed with bloodshot eyes, "If it weren’t for contending with you, do you think I needed to use every ruse to gather allies and grow my own power? With Xiao Yi’s strength and potential, once he enters the holy land he would undoubtedly be heavily relied upon by the Saint Master. With you gaining such an advantage, how could I then compete with you? I had to eliminate him, remove all obstacles in my way..."

"Foolishness!"

Ge Tianhuang roared in anger, "We are all part of the holy land, even with conflicts, we can’t stoop to such despicable acts!"

"Despicable? Humph, since ancient times the victor is king and the loser the bandit. As long as the goal can be achieved, what does it matter if means are not shunned? It’s just that today I have miscalculated, never did I imagine I would be defeated by this wet behind the ears boy..."

Qi Bing looked at Xiao Yi with a face full of resentment.

In the struggle against Ge Tianhuang, he was indeed gradually gaining the upper hand! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Yet...

Today, meeting Xiao Yi, it turned into a complete defeat.

All his plans over thousands of years have gone down the drain!

Hate!

Such hatred!

Qi Bing stared at Xiao Yi like a venomous snake, grinding his teeth and said, "Xiao Yi, if not for you, why would I have ended up in such a plight? Since today is bound to end in death, I shall make use of the special privilege I have as a lord of the holy land..."

Special privilege?

Zou Shaolong, Ge Tianhuang, and others all turned pale at his words: "You dare?"

"Stop!"

Even the Saint Master’s expression changed drastically.

But it was too late for them to stop him!

Hum!

A yellowish earth-colored Token suddenly flew out from Qi Bing’s body, inscribed with the ancient and vicissitudinous character for "Earth", the very Token of his lordship over the region.

Enveloped by the radiance of the Territory Lord’s Token, Qi Bing suddenly soared to the sky, transforming into a light shadow hundreds of miles high. Suspended above the heavens, Qi Bing’s voice echoed over the entire holy land: "I, Qi Bing, the territory lord, hereby exercise my lordship’s special privilege. I am willing to offer my life as a sacrifice to lay down the Holy Battle Life and Death Platform, and challenge Xiao Yi, the Daqian Dynasty and shoulder by shoulder sovereign, to a duel to the death!"

Rumbling noises!

Terrible thunder rolling across the nine heavens.

Qi Bing’s voice continued to spiral above the holy land for a long time, reaching the ears of every inhabitant.

Inside the Saint Master’s residence.

Qi Bing’s face showed a look of resolution, staring intently at Xiao Yi: "This special privilege of a lord that I possess was originally saved for Ge Tianhuang’s use, but I didn’t expect it to end up benefiting you. Now that the privilege has been activated, even the Saint Master cannot stop it. Xiao Yi, do you dare to fight me?"

Zou Shaolong’s face changed repeatedly: "Xiao Yi, you must not agree!"

"You are not his match..." Ge Tianhuang urged anxiously.

The Saint Master’s face was gloomy. He too had not expected Qi Bing to actually wield the Territory Lord’s special privilege, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity even he could not prevent.

"What’s the matter? Weren’t you quite arrogant? Don’t tell me you’re scared now?" Qi Bing sneered viciously.

Knowing he was no match for Ge Tianhuang, he decided to vent all his resentment on Xiao Yi before he died.

On the verge of death.

He also wanted to take Xiao Yi down with him!

Facing Qi Bing’s aggression, Xiao Yi smiled indifferently and replied word by word: "You want to fight, then let’s fight!"
