You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 474 - 229: All Beings Have Their Roots—Do You Wish to Defy Heaven? (Part 2)
Over the years, even though she openly and secretly fought with her sister, Lian Qixia, she never thought of ruthlessly killing her sister.
Moreover, in the end, Lian Lingxiao is a Martial God. Killing her would definitely damage the fate and fortune of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, essentially destroying its foundation.
"Sister Wang, do not hesitate."
Ye Qingzhou advised, "If hidden dangers are not eliminated, they will bring endless trouble. Moreover, using a Martial God’s life in exchange for a Divine Weapon is not a loss. To prevent the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom from being dragged into an abyss by Queen Er’s ambition, Sister Wang, decisions must be made decisively!"
"You’re right."
Lian Hongyin wasn’t stubborn and quickly composed herself, "If Queen Er doesn’t make a move, so be it, but if she truly intends to act against you, I will certainly not spare her."
Then, Ye Qingzhou swaggered out of the Queen Chan’s Mansion, taking Lian Hongyin’s carriage, proceeded to the Royal Palace for an audience.
Meanwhile, Lian Hongyin went ahead, heading to the Royal Palace to invite Lian Qixia to join forces in setting up the trap.
......
At dusk, on Flowing Fire Celestial Street leading directly to the Royal Palace, a luxurious carriage slowly moved along.
Ye Qingzhou sat quietly inside, holding the Flame Emperor Sword, with eyes closed and spirit concentrated, waiting silently for the impending battle.
Clang~
The Flame Emperor Sword sensed the blazing battle intent in its master’s heart and buzzed endlessly.
Beneath the Celestial Street, the Dragon Vein Earth Qi was similarly agitated, resonating fiercely with the Earth Core Evil Fire drawn by the Flame Emperor Sword.
"Who would have thought, the Royal Capital of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom is actually built on top of an ever-burning volcano. The entire Royal City is a gigantic Array, sustained by the nearly infinite geothermal energy. The Simurgh Phoenix Dual Blades serve as the key to activating and deactivating the Array, which is why Lian Huoji used the dual blades to ignite the altar and initiate the Divine Blade Festival."
Ye Qingzhou marveled at the astonishing power of the original Monarch of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom.
Such earth-shattering methods are truly breathtaking, akin to a century-defining achievement.
The iron industry, even the cultivation of Fire Attribute Techniques in the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, must have greatly benefited from this. Merely the Earth Fire Array of the Royal City sustained the country’s prosperity for thousands of years.
"No wonder countless citizens of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom still reminisce about this great king. His historical achievements are indeed monumental and worthy of being remembered by future generations."
Clang~
Ye Qingzhou grasped the Flame Emperor Sword and began to activate the Six Ding Divine Flame, using fire to draw fire, mobilizing the Earth Core Evil Fire beneath the Celestial Street, starting to set up the Heaven and Earth Furnace Array.
With its higher rank, the Flame Emperor Sword, an unparalleled divine weapon, bypassed the control of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom and successfully harnessed the power of the Earth Core Evil Fire.
If Ye Qingzhou wished, he could instantly detonate the Earth Vein Dragon Qi beneath, engulfing the entire capital in flames.
However, he naturally wouldn’t be so reckless. Doing so would thoroughly offend all the Martial Saints and Martial Gods of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, which would be utterly pointless.
Instead, as Ye Qingzhou set up the Heaven and Earth Furnace Array, he had to carefully control the intensity of the fire.
So as not to interfere with the operation of the Royal City Array and harm innocent citizens, which would be unacceptable.
While Ye Qingzhou was setting the array, the two War Beasts pulling the carriage suddenly came to a halt, standing motionless as if dead.
Flowing Fire Celestial Street became shrouded in a mist that obscured vision.
From the dense white fog, a hunched silhouette with a cane approached slowly.
"Finally arrived?"
Ye Qingzhou gripped the Flame Emperor Sword, using the "Twenty-Four God Existence Visualization Technique," splitting his mind, simultaneously continuing to manipulate the Earth Core Evil Fire while stepping out of the carriage to face the incoming enemy.
"I am Sikong Zhen, today I’ve come to invite the Prince to his death."
"’Poison Doctor’ Sikong Zhen?"
Ye Qingzhou assessed the opponent’s cultivation, "Martial Saint Realm?"
Then Ye Qingzhou shook his head, saying with emotion, "Among the many Martial Saints I’ve met, you are the weakest."
"Heh heh~"
Sikong Zhen’s eyes glinted coldly, the corners of his mouth twisted, "Facing death, yet the Prince still jokes, truly bold and fearless."
As soon as the words fell, without any apparent action from Sikong Zhen, Ye Qingzhou abruptly felt numbness in his limbs, consciousness fading.
"Poisoned? When?"
Ye Qingzhou’s heart trembled slightly—since a while ago, he had sealed his pores and stopped breathing, isolating any external material interaction.
Yet the opponent still succeeded in poisoning him; such means are simply unfathomable.
Sikong Zhen, witnessing his reaction, laughed with satisfaction, "Holding breath and blocking orifices? Useless. My poison is mental imagery poison, transmitted through telepathy, making one unaware of being poisoned."
Among the Martial Saints, indeed Sikong Zhen’s cultivation is surprisingly weak.
However, in the myriad things of heaven and earth, power isn’t the only measure of danger; sometimes small creatures are equally lethal.
Such as various venoms and poisonous snakes. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Being small, they’ve evolved lethal toxins as a means of self-preservation, thus becoming more threatening than many larger predators.
Sikong Zhen’s mental imagery is a Zhen bird with purple feathers, its entire being secreting deadly venom.
Though not adept at direct combat, his mental imagery poison, when used for treachery, could easily catch even a Martial God off guard.
