Chapter 156: Chapter 156: The Last 10 Seconds

"Little beast, even if you have the Black Dragon Commerce Association behind you, what does it matter? Don’t you still have to kneel down and apologize according to my orders?"

"I know your sister is your Achilles heel, and she’s now in the hands of the martial artist I sent. I tell you to kneel, do you dare not to?"

"Hahahahaha..."

For today’s marriage alliance, Xiao Qing had booked a top-notch team of stylists a month ago, and she had started getting ready early in the morning. A delicate makeup look paired with a custom-made high-end cheongsam made her look extremely noble.

But at this moment, her hysterical laughter, where was the nobility in that?

She looked no better than a shrew!

In the vast banquet hall, only Xiao Qing’s madness-filled laughter could be heard, leaving everyone surprised as they turned their eyes toward her.

"The most toxic woman’s heart," isn’t that what they say about women like her?

The guests present were all from influential and prosperous families. To people like them, what they feared the most was bringing disaster upon their families.

Qin Chuan seemed to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and his sister had to be even younger. To get at him, was Xiao Qing so ruthless as to not even spare a young woman in her early twenties?

"You’re seeking death!!"

A hoarse, low growl erupted from the depths of Qin Chuan’s throat.

The voice wasn’t loud, but it echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.

Suddenly, an astonishing momentum burst forth from his body, enveloping the entire hall in an instant.

"What terrifying momentum!"

Some martial artists felt the strength of this momentum and exclaimed in shock.

Chen Wang and Lei Ting, both strong martial artists and disciples of the Sovereign Master, were more keenly aware of what it meant for Qin Chuan to release such astonishing momentum.

They had only felt this kind of sensation from the Sovereign Master himself. Yet, the Sovereign Master was Shen Zhou’s strongest fighter, a supreme being who had surpassed the Energizing Skill Peak.

How could Qin Chuan, a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six, emit such a frightening momentum?

Xiao Mengyi, who had been holding hands with Qin Chuan until now, felt his killing intent clearly and became panic-stricken. She yelled at Xiao Qing, "Mom, what are you trying to do? Please, don’t let anyone hurt Qin Nian, okay?"

"Don’t you want me to marry into the Chen Family just so we can get their support to strengthen the Xiao Family?"

"If that’s the case, why can’t you let me be with Qin Chuan? With his relationship to the Black Dragon Commerce Association, do you still have to worry about not having top-tier forces to support the Xiao Family?"

She knew her mother was very excessive, but no matter how excessive, she was still the mother who had given birth to her.

If Xiao Qing really ordered someone to harm Qin Nian, Qin Chuan would definitely not let her go. What would she do then?

"It’s all because of you, a treacherous bitch who brought this trouble upon us, shut up!"

Xiao Qing showed no appreciation, and instead scolded her angrily with a furious face.

She then made a video call and asked, "That little bitch is under your control, right?"

The person on the other end was none other than the Xiao Family martial artist, Ren Jiang, whom she had sent to watch Qin Nian!

Ren Jiang quickly responded, "Boss, you can be assured, everything is under my control. Just give the word, and I can take her down right now!"

"Haha, good!"

Xiao Qing laughed loudly, then with a ferocious expression, she turned to Qin Chuan and said, "Kid, you heard it too. Just one order from me now, and your sister will be humiliated and killed by my people."

"I’ll give you one last chance, kneel down and apologize to Patriarch Chen, let him dispose of you as he wishes. Otherwise, I will give the order right now."

Qin Chuan’s eyes showed a slight hint of crimson. He felt as if the seal within him had developed some more cracks, and the Kunlun Divine Poison seemed to be awakening.

At the same time, the Blood Bead was also affected, slowly awakening and releasing increasingly strong toxicity.

The two deadly poisons, like sentient beings with life, fought within Qin Chuan’s body.

An intense wave of pain instantly spread throughout Qin Chuan’s body, and almost reflexively, he let go of Xiao Mengyi’s hand and also stepped back a few paces.

He knew better than anyone how potent the two strange poisons were.

As the divine poison continued to erupt, his entire body became covered with deadly toxins. If he kept holding Xiao Mengyi’s hand, with her physique, she would likely be instantly poisoned and die.

Xiao Mengyi naturally didn’t realize this, and her facial expression suddenly froze.

Her eyes instantly filled with tears, certain that it was because she hadn’t firmly stood by Qin Chuan’s side, instead expressing a desire to use Qin Chuan’s relationship with the Black Dragon Commerce Association to support the Xiao Family, which angered Qin Chuan.

Thinking of this, she felt extremely wronged. If she really wanted to sacrifice herself for the Xiao Family’s gain, she would have agreed to marry Chen Kun from the start.

The words she just spoke were only meant to protect Qin Nian.

"Mr. Qin!"

Ye Qingwan was the first to notice something was off with Qin Chuan and immediately stepped forward, her face full of concern.

"Stay away from me!"

Qin Chuan said with a hoarse voice.

Ye Qingwan’s steps immediately halted, her face full of confusion.

Granny Wu quickly stepped in front of Ye Qingwan and whispered in a low voice, "Don’t get close!"

Ye Qingwan asked with a worried face, "Granny Wu, what’s happened to Mr. Qin?"

Granny Wu shook her head slightly and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Mr. Qin must have been poisoned!"

"What?"

Ye Qingwan’s face changed dramatically, and just as she was about to ask something, Granny Wu promptly stopped her.

Although Granny Wu didn’t know what was happening to Qin Chuan, she understood that it wasn’t appropriate to say too much under such circumstances. They couldn’t help with anything; everything was up to Qin Chuan himself now.

"What’s wrong with that kid? He seems to be in a lot of pain."

"Could it be that he’s suffering the backlash from the weapon he just used to seriously injure the Energizing Skill Grandmaster?"

"I’ve heard from the elders in the family that some highly lethal hidden weapons have special activation methods, which can have very severe backlash consequences for the user."

"That’s right, the weapon he used to injure Master Shen is one of those types, what a despicable and shameless kid!"

...

Soon, everyone at the scene noticed something was wrong with Qin Chuan, their faces filled with mockery.

"Haha, he really brought this upon himself, he can’t live by causing misery! How does it feel to suffer the backlash from activating the weapon just now?"

Xiao Qing burst out laughing, thrilled to see Qin Chuan in pain.

Just then, Qin Chuan’s cellphone ringtone suddenly sounded. Enduring the intense pain, he answered the call.

Immediately, a familiar voice came from the receiver, "Brother, I won’t be returning to Jiangcheng City for a while. I want to spend more time with grandpa before school starts."

"Nian Nian, are you okay?"

Hearing Qin Nian’s voice, Qin Chuan was almost moved to tears.

Qin Nian seemed puzzled and asked, "Brother, what’s wrong with you? Of course, I’m okay! I’m with grandpa right now."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Qin Wang’s voice came through, "Little rascal, as long as I’m here, Nian Nian won’t have any issues. Whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it."

Qin Chuan was very aware that Qin Wang never spoke idly. If he said Qin Nian would be safe, then she certainly was.

Qin Chuan said excitedly, "Alright, grandpa!"

After hanging up the phone, the uncontrollable aura in his body was completely reined in, and the Qingxuan Spirit Qi surged crazily from his Dantian, instantly suppressing both the Kunlun Divine Poison and the Blood Bead.

Xiao Qing, still unaware of what had happened, sneered and said, "Even when facing death, you still have time to make phone calls."

After speaking, she gave Qin Chuan a cold look and shouted angrily, "You little beast, I’m giving you ten more seconds to kneel. If you don’t, I will order them to move on your sister!"
