The Bone Douluo and his party chased in the direction where Tang Hao had fled.

Only the Sword Douluo and the others remained in place.

"Jiuxiao, was it you who fought Tang Hao just now?"

Ning Fengzhi approached Qin Jiuxiao and asked with some hesitation.

It was not that he did not believe it, but the reality was simply too shocking.

They had only parted ways a short while ago, yet Qin Jiuxiao was already capable of battling a Title Douluo; if word of this got out, those who had cultivated for a lifetime would surely have their dao hearts shattered.

"I relied on a few trump cards, unfortunately, I couldn't keep him here."

Ning Fengzhi was speechless; he felt this kid was humble-bragging.

That was the renowned Clear Sky Douluo, yet in his mouth, he sounded like a mere Soul Ancestor.

Meanwhile, Qin Jiuxiao's attention shifted to the Sword Douluo.

This man was hailed as the number one attack-type Douluo on the continent.

A super-level existence at rank 96; if he made contact with him, he wondered what kind of entry would drop.

Moreover, coming into contact with such a powerhouse would surely increase his Soul Power significantly, enough to break through to rank 50 in one go.

It would allow him to successfully condense his fifth soul ring.

Qin Jiuxiao bowed slightly toward the Sword Douluo.

"Grandpa Sword, I have long admired your reputation. Seeing you today, it truly lives up to the legend."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, intending to give Chen Xin a hug.

But just as he got close, a sharp aura brushed past his shoulder, leaving a faint white mark on his clothing.

"Hmm! Such a formidable physique, to actually withstand a sliver of sword qi from my domain."

Chen Xin raised an eyebrow slightly.

One had to know that his Seven Kill Domain was filled with Seven Kill Sword qi; even an ordinary Title Douluo would not dare to approach.

Furthermore, he had traveled very far on the path of the sword, having long reached the realm of the unity of man and sword.

He judged things more accurately than the average person.

Qin Jiuxiao's strength could no longer be measured by conventional logic.

"Your physique is something even that old Bone fellow couldn't match back in the day."

"No wonder he mentioned you to me the moment he returned, saying he wanted to take you as his disciple."

"Looking at it now, that old guy is likely going to be disappointed, hahaha."

Chen Xin laughed heartily. Seeing Qin Jiuxiao still approaching him, he decided to test him a little.

The sword qi within the Seven Kill Domain grew increasingly sharp.

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao was still a few steps away from the Sword Douluo.

Yet these few steps felt like a chasm; the pressure doubled with every step he took forward.

Facing Chen Xin's Seven Kill Domain, Qin Jiuxiao slowly activated his own Domain of the Ten Fiends.

The devouring power contained within it swallowed all the Seven Kill sword qi that approached him, and even Chen Xin himself felt a sense of suppression.

Qin Jiuxiao walked step by step until he stood before Chen Xin, then straightened his back and cupped his hands.

"Senior is too kind. It is Jiuxiao's honor to be appreciated by two seniors."

"But I still feel that cultivating alone is better. If I break through too quickly and discourage Senior Bone Douluo, that wouldn't be good."

Hearing these arrogant words, Chen Xin was stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good. A young man with ambition."

"But what surprises me most is that you actually possess a domain, and it is quite bizarre."

"Not only can it devour my sword qi, but it can also suppress my Seven Kill Sword. It seems your martial soul is of extraordinary quality."

Chen Xin acknowledged Qin Jiuxiao, retracted his Seven Kill Domain, and reached out to pat his shoulder.

[Ding! Contacted Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Sword Douluo Chen Xin, obtained entry [Innate Sword Body (Red)]: To win without a sword is better than winning with one; all things can be a sword. Every move and stance brings forth sword qi naturally. A born supreme of the sword path!]

In Qin Jiuxiao's eyes, a flash of sword light flickered and vanished.

After obtaining the entry, his Soul Power finally reached rank 50.

Now, he only needed to find an opportunity to condense his fifth soul ring, and he would be a genuine Soul King.

Chen Xin was extremely sensitive to sword qi.

That fleeting flash of sword light did not escape his perception.

He looked at Qin Jiuxiao with a mix of suspicion and uncertainty. Could this kid also have a talent for sword cultivation?

That couldn't be!

A soul master spent most of their energy walking one path in their lifetime; how could it be possible to cultivate other routes simultaneously?

Qin Jiuxiao's physique was so formidable that he must be walking the path of defense; how could he possibly cultivate sword qi?

Chen Xin simply assumed that because he had no peers on the path of the sword, he was becoming lightheaded.

Afterward, his gaze swept back and forth between Qin Jiuxiao and Ning Rongrong, and he finally nodded.

"You are quite a match for our Rongrong. You are qualified to be her fiancé."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong muttered shyly:

"Grandpa Sword, what are you saying?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, Rongrong won't talk to you anymore."

But despite her words, the smile on her face could not be hidden.

Moreover, she suddenly felt that she and Qin Jiuxiao had become closer, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda within her body was stirring.

However, she didn't pay it much mind, assuming it was just her heartbeat quickening because her feelings for Qin Jiuxiao had been spoken aloud.

On the side, Dugu Bo saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect get there first and sighed inwardly.

It seemed he had arrived a step too late.

However, such a young talent—even if he couldn't be his grandson-in-law—was worth befriending.

And looking at the way Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zuyun were acting, his own granddaughter might not be without a chance.

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao also shifted his gaze to Dugu Bo.

He cupped his hands slightly, his smile kind.

"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, I have long admired your name."

"Thank you for your help regarding Tang Hao."

Dugu Bo waved his hand casually, appearing quite carefree.

Ning Fengzhi also bowed slowly; one still had to show basic respect to a Title Douluo, even if he was the weakest among them.

Although Dugu Bo was not adept at one-on-one combat, his toxins were impossible to guard against.

If one spoke of deterrence, he was no worse than other Title Douluos, and perhaps even better.

After all, as a member of a major power with many disciples, who wouldn't fear a Title Douluo who could poison them at any time?

"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, actually, the moment I saw you just now, I noticed some small issues."

"I wonder if it would be convenient to step aside and have a chat?"

There was a smile in the depths of Qin Jiuxiao's eyes.

Although Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled, he nodded.

He naturally would not reject such an opportunity for a private, friendly interaction.

After the two walked a short distance away, Qin Jiuxiao stopped.

He looked around first, then spoke slowly:

"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, it seems you have been poisoned."

As soon as these words were spoken, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted, and his Soul Power surged subconsciously.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin looked over, and Dugu Bo hurriedly suppressed his Soul Power.

"Senior, there is no need to be nervous. I am the only one who knows about this."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you over to speak privately."

Dugu Bo let out a slow breath, but his eyes remained incredibly sharp.

"Hmph!"

"Kid Qin, I am the Poison Douluo. How could I be poisoned? You must have seen wrong."

Seeing him still being stubborn, Qin Jiuxiao chuckled.

"I can cure this poison!"

Dugu Bo:??!!

His eyes flickered; he was clearly moved.

But he was still somewhat skeptical. After all, he wouldn't dare say his research on poison was the best in the world, but being in the top three on the continent was no boast.

A problem he couldn't solve, Qin Jiuxiao could?

This wasn't cultivation, where one could solve things just by relying on talent.

Seeing this, Qin Jiuxiao directly stated his symptoms.

"Your Excellency, whenever it is cloudy or rainy, do you feel a numbing itch in your ribs that gradually intensifies and lasts for more than an hour?"

"And does it flare up once at noon and once at midnight every day, with the pain intensifying?"

"Around the third watch of the night, do you feel a needle-like stinging pain in your Baihui acupoint on your head and your Yongquan acupoint on the soles of your feet, accompanied by full-body spasms that last for at least half an hour, making you wish you were dead?"

As his voice fell.

Dugu Bo was horrified. Even Dugu Yan did not know these things, yet he had seen through them all.

Could it be that he really had a way to solve these problems?

Did that mean Yan-yan could also be saved!

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's breathing became heavy.

He clamped his hands tightly onto Qin Jiuxiao's shoulders, his eyes wide, staring intensely at him.

"Can you really cure it?"

"If you can cure it, I will go through fire and water for you in the future! I will never frown even once!"
