Capítulo 127: Jealousy
In a fit of rage over a woman, two men clash.
There has always been tension between Chen Xuan and Tang San, but today, spurred by Xiao Wu, it escalates into a life-or-death situation.
To the Shrek companions, it appears as nothing more than two men vying for Xiao Wu's affection, each determined to prove the other as the interloper.
Tang San, storing away his Zhuge Crossbow, pulls six deadly poison darts from his belt, intending to settle the grievances that had built up over the last three months.
It was with the deadly darts that the old monster, Dugu Bo, managed to defeat Ju Douluo, turning the tide of battle.
"Another hidden weapon? Do you have anything other than that? You can't face real danger without relying on these tools. It shows how dependent you are," said Chen Xuan.
"You understand nothing!" Tang San scoffed, knowing the power of the Tang Sect was beyond anything a small mind could grasp.
"In the past, you insulted my teacher, humiliated me, and now you're trying to take Xiao Wu from me. Today, it's either you or me!" Tang San's face turned vicious, his intent to kill clear.
Chen Xuan laughed, unfazed. "Laughable. Are you married to her? Do you have any claim? You always think everything is yours, but the world doesn't work like that."
He held back, curious to see Tang San's next argument.
Tang San's eyes gleamed with malice as he replied, "Twisting the truth as always—you're a hypocrite, taking another man's woman. What honor do you have left?"
Chen Xuan smirked. "Better than you, at least. You claim to treat Xiao Wu as your sister, yet you covet her as if she were more. It's clear you've been playing a long game."
Chen Xuan's mockery hit home, exposing Tang San's broken promise to regard Xiao Wu as a sister yet harboring feelings beyond that, highlighting the irony of his own hypocrisy.
"Well, Xiao Wu is the mother of my child now. So, why are you still here, interloper? 'Third party' suits you perfectly," Chen Xuan taunted sarcastically.
The mention of "mother of my child" struck Tang San like a physical blow, making his eyes red with rage.
"You're asking to die!"
Enraged, Tang San threw his deadly poison darts, which collided mid-air, unleashing a lethal green gas, covering the clearing in poison.
The Shrek members quickly retreated, distancing themselves from the poisoned area to avoid accidental harm.
"Xiao Wu, do you have a death wish?" Ning Rongrong cried out, rushing to pull her stunned friend out of the toxic cloud.
In the winery's clearing, the air turned a chilling green as the poison gas spread, eerie and menacing.
In the toxic mist, the six poison darts clashed again, triggering mechanisms that unleashed a hail of poisoned needles, deadly and able to pierce flesh with ease.
Chen Xuan found himself cornered by the poisoned needles scattered on the ground, each glinting with toxic green light.
This poison was mixed with the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well water, potent enough to kill an elephant with a single drop. Tang San's intent was clear: he wanted Chen Xuan dead, holding nothing back.
With a cold expression, Chen Xuan thought, "If you want my life, don't blame me for not holding back." He readied himself as a booming thunderclap broke the silence, lightning bursting through the mist.
A sudden gust arose, stirring up a fierce wind without any warning.
Whoosh! Just as the poisonous mist was about to engulf Chen Xuan, a powerful gust swept it all away, scattering the hidden needles, which lost their force and fell to the ground.
"Why did the wind suddenly start?" Ma Hongjun and Oscar wondered aloud, but no one provided an answer.
Chen Xuan emerged from the mist, surrounded by crackling arcs of electricity, holding a massive, radiant thunder beast in the form of a Qilin's head, exuding immense power.
"Lightning Style: Qilin!"
"Isn't that the move from the qualifying match?" Ma Hongjun gasped.
The Qilin, forged from lightning, was enormous and intimidating. In a single blow, it had shattered Shui Bing'er's ice phoenix in the competition. Now, as a Spirit King, Chen Xuan's power had only grown.
Tang San's face darkened, beads of sweat forming on his brow as he looked at the blinding lightning.
Blue Silver Grass and the unpowered Clear Sky Hammer couldn't match this beastly force.
Not willing to risk it, Tang San's hand grasped two dark, poison-laced darts from his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges pouch, holding them tight.
Chen Xuan's gaze turned icy, aware that if struck, the venomous Yama's Invitation would dissolve any opponent into blood.
Suddenly, vines burst from the ground, wrapping around Chen Xuan's ankles, restricting his movement.
"Second Spirit Ability: Parasitic!" Tang San sneered, revealing that the poison darts had merely been a distraction to cover the scattering of Blue Silver Grass seeds.
Every step Chen Xuan had taken was calculated.
Swish! Tang San launched the two Yama's Invitations, their deadly aura causing the air itself to sizzle.
Calculating that Chen Xuan, burdened by such a powerful ability, couldn't dodge, Tang San saw his chance.
As the venomous darts neared him, Chen Xuan threw his Kusunagi sword with calm precision.
It seemed Tang San had made the right gamble, for Chen Xuan, limited by the massive Qilin technique, had no choice but to dispel it.
Swish! At the moment of impact, Chen Xuan vanished, dissolving into light.
Thud, thud! The poison darts struck a stone slab behind him, corroding it in an instant, leaving a large, dark hole.
"Where did Chen Xuan go?" The Shrek members were baffled, astounded by his speed, moving faster than the eye could see.
Tang San, now visibly shaken, quickly scanned the area with his Purple Demon Eyes.
In mid-air, the white Kusunagi sword spun in a graceful arc, slowly descending toward Tang San.
Swish! In the next instant, a golden flash appeared as a white figure materialized.
Chen Xuan caught his sword, lightning sparking across his body, and swung his leg down toward Tang San's head.
The foot, charged with lightning, crackled, resembling a spearhead.
Shrek members looked on in awe, Chen Xuan's speed beyond what they'd imagined.
Tang San, unable to summon his Clear Sky Hammer in time, raised his hands, activating his Mysterious Jade Hands to block the blow.
Clang! As lightning and jade touched, electricity danced across the field, shattering nearby plants.
The Shrek members remembered the day when Chen Xuan had used this very skill to take down a Spirit Emperor in the Spirit Hall attack.
"Argh!" Tang San struggled, blood spilling from his mouth as he tried to withstand the force, his arms trembling under the strain.
"Bow down!" Chen Xuan commanded, pressing harder. The ground cracked as Tang San was forced to one knee.
Continuing to press down, lightning intensified under Chen Xuan's foot.
Thud! Tang San spat blood, feeling his organs rattling from the force, his Mysterious Jade Hands ineffective against the strength.
With a sickening crack, Tang San's arms broke, bones splintering.
"Enough, Chen!" Flender intervened, frowning. Chen Xuan had gone too far, forcing Tang San to his knees in public, a deliberate humiliation.
