Berserk God of War

Chapter 1626: Chapter 1626: The Eve of the Vote, Poison Strikes

Duanmu Chun was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Was such a pure icy martial skill truly created by Sikong Jing all the way here?

Is his wonder really limitless?

...

When Sikong Jing and his group returned to Teng Mansion, dawn just broke.

Inside Teng Mansion, of course no one knew what Sikong Jing and Duanmu Chun had experienced that day.

Even Venerable Ba Lian was unaware...

After not getting Sikong Jing’s answer the previous day, she shut herself in a small secret realm at the back of Teng Mansion.

Leaving only Bai Hu Venerable beside her...

Aside from Venerable Ba Lian, when Yang Yi and Hua Meixi saw the terrifyingly powerful Split Armor Flying Scorpion in Teng Mansion, they were astounded. Naturally, they also became increasingly confident in facing the accusations against Qianwang Holy Tower in the future.

And when everyone heard that Sikong Jing had taken in two cheap disciples, they were dumbfounded again.

But soon, they felt it was only natural.

Now, no matter how strange Sikong Jing’s actions were, they wouldn’t surprise anyone at Yao Residence. People like Zhang Duiyin even shouted for Sikong Jing to teach them martial arts, otherwise they would risk everything to become his disciples!

Regarding this, Sikong Jing was naturally helpless.

But he quickly had a thought, perhaps he should provide everyone with a major advancement.

Not only Yang Yi and several martial arts geniuses, but also the members of the Sky Wolf Team and Nu Hua Team who came with him. These people will become the backbone of Overlord Commerce in both the future and the present...

They left their homes and followed him to Overlord City, so Sikong Jing felt grateful and naturally had to respond.

With this thought, Sikong Jing immediately gathered everyone and began targeted martial arts training and other teachings.

The originally cold and quiet Teng Mansion suddenly became lively, with everyone enthusiastic.

As for Bai Xiaojin and Leng Sha, the two cheap disciples, upon arriving at Teng Mansion, they continued to cultivate tirelessly. For Bai Xiaojin, the War Demon Hammer was so captivating that she couldn’t be bothered with anything else.

She was truly born to be a martial fool!

For Leng Sha, he was determined to diligently cultivate Sikong Jing’s techniques.

He was different from Bai Xiaojin, who was originally from Venerable Ba Lian’s family. It was natural for her to be with Sikong Jing, but if Leng Sha wanted to continue being Sikong Jing’s disciple, he had to make crazy progress within three months.

...

With the bustling cultivation at Teng Mansion every day, time passed by quickly...

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the night before the second Heavenly Decision Hall vote.

Regarding Sikong Jing buying the Split Armor Flying Scorpion, due to Earth Decision Maker Old Yu’s deliberate concealment, nobody knew it was Sikong Jing who bought it. Overlord City only knew that a mysterious buyer purchased it.

As for Earth Decision Maker Old Xin, he hadn’t spread this news either, still pondering whether to support Sikong Jing.

At this moment, in Fu Residence in Batian Outer City... Bang bang bang bang!

Inside Earth Decision Maker Fu Wang’s room, a series of explosions sounded, clearly the noise of things being smashed madly.

Then... wow!

The sound of blood spraying wildly followed...

After that, a low roar from Fu Wang resonated in the room, ”Useless, each of you is useless, can’t even solve a little poison. You’re supposed to be renowned pharmacists in Overlord Commerce.”

Inside the room, Fu Wang lay on the bed vomiting black blood, while several elderly men knelt before him.

These elderly men were renowned pharmacists invited by Fu Wang to solve his poison. Yet, eight days had passed, and the poison grew worse, causing his body to weaken significantly.

Each pharmacist, fearing Fu Wang’s reproach, bowed their heads, avoiding any eye contact with him.

But in their hearts, they frantically thought: You call this a little poison, aside from the Split Armor Flying Scorpion’s poison, there are two other poisons, one of which is unheard of. How can we solve that?

They had exerted all efforts but still couldn’t find a solution.

At this point, a pharmacist finally raised his head to ask, ”Fu Decision Maker, where did this poison come from? We must find the poisoner to have a chance, we can’t delay any longer.”

”Yes, you have only a few days left to endure,” said a second pharmacist taking over the conversation.

The pharmacists still didn’t know how Fu Wang was poisoned.

Only knowing it was related to Split Armor Flying Scorpion, yet unaware of who purchased the scorpion, as Fu Wang hadn’t told them.

Upon hearing these words, Fu Wang’s complexion darkened to the extreme.

Of course, he couldn’t reveal that it was Sikong Jing who poisoned him. He heavily gestured for them to leave, saying, ”All of you get out and remember not to tell anyone about my poisoning.”

Likewise, he still didn’t want to disclose...

Upon hearing this, the pharmacists no longer tried to persuade him, but strongly promised not to spread the news, leaving as if relieved.

Just after they left, one of Fu Wang’s close guards approached the door to ask, ”Fu Decision Maker, Nanfeng Tianjue and Ba Lie Venerable have sent people again to inquire. They want to know who you’ll vote for tomorrow?”

These past few days, Nanfeng and Ba Lie Venerable had come to visit, but in Fu Wang’s condition, he couldn’t meet anyone, so he refused.

Now, on the night before voting, they sent people to urge confirmation.

Fu Wang’s mouth twitched a few times, ultimately gritting his teeth to say, ”Tell them, I certainly won’t vote for Sikong the little beast.”

Having said that, Fu Wang sent his confidant guard away.

Even in this state, he was reluctant to vote for Sikong Jing, cursing through gritted teeth, ”Sikong the little beast, I refuse to believe only you can solve the poison, I might as well disregard my reputation and seek out... ah!”

Before finishing, Fu Wang suddenly let out a scream, then started rolling on the ground frantically.

In the next moment, Fu Wang noticed his body covered in dense, strange scales, while his True Qi began chaotically surging, heralding signs of Deviation.

No, it was a sign of impending death from body explosion!

Fu Wang shuddered violently, hurriedly grabbing a mirror, and upon seeing his reflection, found it no longer human-like.

His face was covered in terrifying scales, resembling scorpion shells or some unknown demon beast scales...

”Damn, damn it, too late.”

He originally planned to seek a powerful pharmacist located two days away from Overlord City, though it might expose Sikong Jing’s poisoning of him, it was preferable to begging Sikong Jing.

But seeking that pharmacist required two days travel, and now time was running out, he really was going to die.

”Sikong the little beast, you’re too vicious.”

Fu Wang finished his sentence, paced back and forth in the room, eventually gritting his teeth and leaving Fu Residence alone to find Sikong Jing at Teng Mansion.

In his current condition, he dared not meet anyone.

Additionally, he didn’t dare to seek Great Heaven Decision, considering he initially tried to hunt Sikong Jing.

Besides, what if he couldn’t find Great Heaven Decision and died of poison?

Fu Wang didn’t have time to call back his confidant guard... meaning he couldn’t tell Nanfeng and Ba Lie Venerable to reconsider tomorrow’s vote.

Now, he has no mood to ponder voting matters.
