Urban God-level Youth
Chapter 921 - 921 Scheme

The honest middle-aged man with a square face smiled and said, "No need to be polite, young brother, my name is Cheng Zhong, I'm a few years older than you, just call me Cheng."

"Alright, I'll call you Cheng then." Qin Hao didn't hold back.

Cheng Zhong: "Let's go, let's hurry out of this damned place."

They relied on swift walking to travel; the beast they had just slain was a level seven Qi Refinement beast, it took more than half an hour to kill it, consuming a lot of their energy.

They continued to regain their strength while walking, for if another such powerful beast appeared, they could only flee in panic.

Dusk quickly fell, and Chu Jianglong found a place to set up camp. Later, he scattered some things around the campsite to prevent a beast attack at night.

At night, Chu Jianglong and the others roasted beast meat, and Qin Hao received a large piece, having to admit that this beast meat was indeed delicious, absorbing substantial spiritual energy daily to refine the body, surpassing all the meat Qin Hao had ever eaten.

After dinner, Qin Hao went into a tent to rest, and nothing happened at night as they continued their journey.

Four days later, they were infinitely close to the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and by tomorrow afternoon, they should reach Nanxing City.

That night, they found a place to set up camp.

Zhou Yue took out a large piece of beast meat, which was from the level seven Qi Refinement beast they had jointly slain earlier: "Mr. Qin, please roast it, I need to discuss something with Mr. Chu."

Qin Hao nodded slightly and sat down to roast the meat.

The others also left and gathered with Chu Jianglong, likely discussing how to distribute the spoils.

About half an hour later, the five returned with smiles, appearing quite satisfied.

Chu Jianglong smiled at Qin Hao and asked, "Qin, is the meat roasted?"

"It's ready." Qin Hao replied.

Afterward, he cut off some pieces and distributed them to everyone. Chu Jianglong said, "Tomorrow we'll reach Nanxing City. After parting tonight, who knows when we will meet again? Here is my treasured Green Bamboo Wine, let's all have a taste."

He then took out several bowls, poured a cup for each person, and everyone looked at the wine with a bit of caution.

Chu Jianglong understood their thoughts and smiled, "I'll drink first as a courtesy."

After speaking, he took the bowl and drank it down.

Seeing him drink, everyone raised their bowls and drank too; they had checked the wine and found nothing wrong.

"Everyone, enjoy the meat, this is Silver Blood Beast meat, a great tonic," Chu Jianglong said, then picked up a piece to eat.

Midway through eating, Qin Hao felt his body weaken and his limbs lose strength; what was going on?

The people around him felt the same, already sitting paralyzed on the ground, faces drastically changing.

They turned to Qin Hao: "Did you put Dissolving Power Powder in the meat?"

Qin Hao shook his head: "It wasn't me."

"We kindly took you in, never thought you'd be this kind of person." Chu Jianglong glared at Qin Hao angrily.

"I'm going to kill you." Cheng Zhong was furious, face turning red, slowly moving, eager to personally slaughter Qin Hao.

At this moment, Zhou Yue suddenly stood up, smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, stop pretending, get up now."

Then, under the angry gazes of everyone, Chu Jianglong stood up, he wasn't poisoned at all.

"Is it you two?" Cheng Zhong and the others looked troubled.

Zhou Yue sneered: "You all got too much of the spoils, now Mr. Chu and I want them back."

"You treacherous woman." Cheng Zhong and the others cursed at Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue: "Mr. Chu, stop wasting words with them, take the stuff and send them on their way."

Chu Jianglong nodded slightly, walked to one person, took off his Space Ring, and then struck his chest with a palm, directly shattering his internal organs.

Then he went to Cheng Zhong, and just as he was about to take the Space Ring, Cheng Zhong suddenly sprang up, instantly stabbing a blade into Chu Jianglong's chest.

Chu Jianglong's eyes widened, incredulous, as he looked at Cheng Zhong: "You... you didn't fall victim to the Dissolving Power Powder?"

Cheng Zhong's face turned malicious, a stark contrast to his usual honest demeanor: "Miss Zhou outwardly cooperated with you, but we've been secretly working together all along."

Chu Jianglong looked at Zhou Yue, wanting to say something but couldn't, falling straight down.

Qin Hao was truly shocked by the turn of events, Cheng Zhong had been secretly cooperating with Zhou Yue, if not for the reality in front of him, Qin Hao couldn't believe the ordinarily honest Cheng Zhong was so sinister and ruthless.

Cheng Zhong quickly dealt with another person, glanced at Qin Hao, and then looked at Zhou Yue: "What about him?"

"What do you think? What's the point of keeping him? Just kill him." Zhou Yue said coldly.

Cheng Zhong turned to Qin Hao, walking over step by step: "Mr. Qin, you're actually a good person, but too trusting of others, this is a world where people eat people, don't blame your elder brother."

Just as he raised his hand to make a move, Zhou Yue suddenly acted, instantly coming behind Cheng Zhong and stabbing at Cheng Zhong's back with a Soft Sword.

Cheng Zhong moved swiftly, dodging Zhou Yue's ambush: "I was already waiting for you to make your move."

Zhou Yue's face slightly changed upon seeing her ambush fail: "You're actually a level seven Qi Refinement expert, Cheng Zhong, you're really deeply hidden."

Initially, Chu Jianglong's strength was the highest in the team, at level seven Qi Refinement, while Zhou Yue and several others were at level six Qi Refinement.

No one would have thought Cheng Zhong was hiding his strength.

"Die, you vile woman; if I didn't hide my strength, you would have killed me by now." He said, then charged and fought with Zhou Yue.

The two fought, Zhou Yue's strength was considered good among level six Qi Refinement, but facing Cheng Zhong, a level seven expert, she was simply no match.

After barely sustaining through a dozen exchanges, Zhou Yue was slain by Cheng Zhong.

After dealing with the spoils, Cheng Zhong looked at Qin Hao, suddenly tossed a dagger without any words, he was waiting for Zhou Yue to act earlier making her think he wouldn't defend.

These people have deep calculations.

Seeing the flying dagger, Qin Hao's Space Mecha instantly covered his body, causing him to disappear instantly.

The dagger directly embedded itself into the ground.

Cheng Zhong was planning to turn away, but upon seeing this, his face showed surprise, such speed, at what level could one possess such speed?

"I didn't expect you to hide deeper, who exactly are you?" Cheng Zhong looked at Qin Hao from not far away, astonished.

Qin Hao: "What does Cheng think I am?"

"You certainly haven't lived in the deep mountains all along, those living there wouldn't have such tender skin, Qin Hao, how about you let me off, I'll give all these things to you." Cheng Zhong said, looking at him.
