Everyone looked at each other, unable to find Ouyang Bo.

Even the people from Listening Wind Tower were the same.

They exchanged glances, all with expressions of confusion.

Could it be that Ji Qing was mistaken?

"You won't come out? Then let's just make a move."

Ji Qing's hand grasped the hilt of his sword.

"Boom."

A terrifying Blade Momentum erupted.

Ji Qing seemed to transform into a blade with its edge fully exposed, wantonly slicing through everything around him.

Below the arena, a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Ji Qing's Blade Momentum landed precisely on him.

Clearly, he was the Poison Demon Ouyang Bo!

"Ji Qing, how did you recognize this old man?"

The "rich merchant" spoke.

He undoubtedly admitted to being the "Poison Demon."

Instantly, a clamor arose from the crowd.

Especially those around the "rich merchant," who retreated frantically as if avoiding something, putting distance between themselves and Ouyang Bo.

After all, everyone knew that Ouyang Bo was covered in poison, and getting even a little close could lead to severe poisoning.

Who would dare approach such a dangerous person?

"He's Ouyang Bo?"

"I've seen Ouyang Bo once before, and he didn't look like this."

"Isn't Ouyang Bo an old man?"

"Ouyang Bo is actually only in his forties, not too old. But Ouyang Bo is skilled in disguise and often changes his appearance, so very few people probably know his true face..."

"Ouyang Bo is truly as cunning as a fox. So many of us, even the people from Listening Wind Tower, didn't discover him. How did Ji Qing find him?"

Many people turned their gazes towards Ji Qing.

Not only Ouyang Bo was curious, but everyone else was as well.

How did Ji Qing "recognize" Ouyang Bo's identity at a glance?

The current Ouyang Bo was a "rich merchant" who looked plump, and his demeanor, clothing, and so on were very convincing.

Who would have thought that he was the Poison Demon Ouyang Bo, whose name struck fear into people in the martial world?

Ji Qing said calmly, "Ouyang Bo, you're like a dog that can't change its ways; wherever you go, poison follows. The poison you spread, I could smell it from a long distance away."

Ouyang Bo's pupils contracted sharply.

He wasn't angry; instead, he was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

The poison he spread actually had very little smell.

It was almost odorless.

Ji Qing could actually discern it?

He had only met Ji Qing once and had only interacted with him once.

Since his identity had been exposed, Ouyang Bo stopped pretending.

He walked onto the arena step by step.

Many people looked at Ouyang Bo and felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

The Poison Demon Ouyang Bo was too mysterious.

Very few people had seen Ouyang Bo's true face.

His disguise skills were superb.

He often impersonated beggars, rich merchants, scholars, old men, and so on.

The last time Ji Qing saw Ouyang Bo, he was in the image of an old beggar.

This time, he was a rich merchant.

These two faces were definitely not Ouyang Bo's true face.

But it didn't matter.

As long as he died today, he wouldn't have a third face.

Ji Qing also stood up on the arena.

There was a distance of ten feet between them.

Seeing the specially made "mask" on Ji Qing's face, Ouyang Bo sneered, "Ji Qing, it seems you've made thorough preparations to deal with me."

"Naturally. You escaped last time, so I had to prepare more thoroughly this time. I'll kill you with one strike and settle our grudges completely!"

"I've roamed the jianghu for so many years, and many people have wanted to kill me. You're just one of them. Yet, I'm still alive and well, and it will be the same this time!"

"Du Chen, the Wind Chasing Blade, said the same thing last time!"

The two stood in opposition.

However, this was not a futile effort.

Because Ji Qing had been accumulating momentum all along.

He needed to build his Blade Momentum to its peak before unleashing his strongest strike.

And Ouyang Bo was undoubtedly making his own calculations.

Perhaps he had already administered poison in secret, unnoticed by anyone.

"Your hand..."

Ji Qing noticed Ouyang Bo's palm.

He remembered clearly that he had severed half of Ouyang Bo's palm the last time.

But now, Ouyang Bo's hand looked as good as new.

This was not normal.

Although medicine and poison were related, and Ouyang Bo, being the Poison Demon, was skilled in poison, his medical skills must also be excellent.

But his palm had been cut off. Could it be healed with the medical skills of this era?

Especially now, when there wasn't even a scar to be seen.

This was highly abnormal!

"My hand is fine. In fact, I should thank you. Severing half of my palm made me completely determined..."

Ouyang Bo extended his hand.

His palm was smooth and delicate, without even calluses, let alone scars.

It was as if it had never been injured.

No one could tell that just two months ago, half of Ouyang Bo's palm had been severed by Ji Qing.

"Clang."

Ji Qing drew his blade.

As Ouyang Bo gazed at his palm, Ji Qing decisively drew his sword.

His Blade Momentum had reached its peak.

This strike unleashed a blade light of unparalleled brilliance.

Everyone seemed to be immersed in this beautiful and stunning blade light.

Ji Qing's blade light accelerated madly.

It accelerated so much that it was just a flash of light, and then it vanished.

Ouyang Bo's reaction speed was fast, but he could only block in front of himself with his hand.

However, this time Ji Qing was going all out, his internal energy fully unleashed.

There was not only speed, but also power!

"Pfft."

The blade light fell, and Ouyang Bo's hand was severed.

However, it wasn't just his arm that was cut off, but also Ouyang Bo's head.

A bloody gash appeared from top to bottom.

Instantly, blood splattered.

"Clack."

Ji Qing had already sheathed his blade.

This was his most powerful strike.

Fueled by the pure internal energy from three Extraordinary Meridians, its speed and power far surpassed when Ji Qing first faced Ouyang Bo.

It was normal that Ouyang Bo couldn't block it.

Even at the Second-Rate Martial Artist level, perhaps no one could withstand this strike.

Many people were still stunned into silence.

Their expressions were frozen on their faces.

As if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

They had waited for so long.

And that was it? It was over?

One strike!

Just one strike!

And everything was finished.

Ouyang Bo was instantly killed by Ji Qing!

"How can Ji Qing, the 'Startling Swan Blade,' be this strong?"

"They say 'When the Startling Swan Blade appears, heads will roll.' I used to think it was just a rumor, exaggerated over time, but now it seems the rumors weren't exaggerated at all, maybe even a bit understated..."

"Who could block a strike like that?"

"Du Chen, the Wind Chasing Blade, couldn't block it back then, and now Poison Demon Ouyang Bo can't block it either..."

"Killed in one strike... Poison Demon Ouyang Bo, who wreaked havoc in the jianghu for so many years and ranked eighth on the Villain Ranking, is dead just like that? Ouyang Bo didn't even get to use his poison skills..."

The crowd marveled, were shocked, and confused.

But no matter what they thought, the fact was right before their eyes.

Poison Demon Ouyang Bo was dead!

"Hoo..."

A gentle breeze blew, but it couldn't dispel the heat in the air, nor could it blow away the smell of blood.

No one noticed that the blood flowing on the stage seemed to be rapidly expanding.

It was as if the blood from Ouyang Bo's corpse wouldn't stop flowing.

It had even spread to Ji Qing's front.

Ji Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

He stared intently at Ouyang Bo's "corpse."

His arm had clearly been severed and fallen to the ground.

There was a bloody gash from his head to his abdomen.

But why hadn't Ouyang Bo's body fallen yet?
