Chapter 241: Kill the top with a flick of the finger, and win the dream girl with a word
Just as Cheng Jiao was thinking about how big the gap was between Donghuang Taiyi and Huangdi Chiyou, and how many realms were between them, and how big the gap was between Huangdi Chiyou and Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, and how many realms were between them.

A sound of breaking air was heard, making Cheng Jiao frown.

How dare you attack first when you are so weak? Are you eager to show off, or are you eager to die?

Who are you looking down on?
Before Cheng Jiao could make a move, there was another sound of breaking air. The sound was relatively sharp and came later, smashing the small porcelain bottle when it was about to reach Cheng Jiao.

The sky full of white powder enveloped Cheng Jiao.

Lu Niangrong said happily, "It works! I'll tickle him for three days this time and see how Cheng Jiao can still go against my father."

Niang Rong smiled and said, "Niang Rong, let's go back."

Just as I finished speaking, I realized that I seemed to have heard a familiar name just now.

Suddenly he said to Niang Rong, "Who did you just say was against your father?"

Before Lu Niangrong could cover up, Cheng Jiao, holding a folding fan, appeared behind the two women, fanning them gently.

Youyou said: "It's an adult matter, why should a child interfere?"

Meng Niang's face changed. With her strength as a senior second-rate master, if Cheng Jiao hadn't spoken, she would not have noticed that someone appeared behind her.

Lu Niangrong turned around and asked in surprise: "Why are you here? Aren't you..."

Before Lu Niangrong could finish her words, she was pulled back by Meng Niang.

"escape!"

She didn't expect that the young man that Lu Niangrong wanted to tease was so powerful. In her eyes, he was just an ordinary man with good looks but without any kung fu skills.

Unexpectedly, she was wrong. There was only one possibility, that his strength was far above hers and not inferior to that of the top masters.

It was far from someone she, whose strength was only at the second-rate level, could afford to offend.

And when Lu Niangrong mentioned Cheng Jiao just now, it sounded very familiar to her, and she felt like she had heard of him somewhere before.

Hmm? Cheng Jiao? Could it be the Chang'an Jun who left Xianyang to study? This matter was spread all over Xianyang years ago, and she heard about it when she went out to buy medicinal herbs in the Xiangguo Mansion.

How could Cheng Jiao let these two women go easily? If he didn't discipline them for Lao Lu, did he really think they were easy to bully?

In other words, he concluded that the two women had no intention of killing, and that the powder was just an ordinary itching powder, and he also found that he seemed to have seen this girl somewhere.

Otherwise, why would he have taken two more steps over and directly sent out a few bursts of internal energy to send them to hell.

He had already planned to tie Lu Niangrong up and send her to the Prime Minister's Mansion so that Old Lu could have a good look at her.

Seeing Cheng Jiao taking action, Meng Niang took out poison powder and threw it at Cheng Jiao.

Compared with the previous small-scale stone-shooting, Meng Niang directly used a special throwing technique. Being arrogant in front of such a master is tantamount to seeking death.

"Haha, it's quite toxic. He is an expert in using poison."

After being influenced by Zi Nu and Madam Ming Zhu for a long time, he also has some experience with poisons. This woman's ability to use poisons is not worse than Zi Nu and Madam Ming Zhu, and is even stronger. I don't know how Lao Lu's daughter found such a talent.

Cheng Jiao circulated his spiritual power, and the poison powder was dissolved before it could take effect, turning into ordinary powder.

Meng Niang frowned, and in just a few breaths, she had already reacted.

In the entire Qin State, there was only one person named Cheng Jiao who was qualified to oppose Lu Buwei. Even though she didn't know much about him, she knew that the young man in front of her was the brother of the current King of Qin, Chang'an Jun Cheng Jiao.

Therefore, the poison just now was not extremely toxic. It just made people unable to circulate their internal energy and lose their strength for a short period of time.

The effect on top players will be greatly reduced, but it will not be completely ineffective.

Looking at Cheng Jiao in front of her, Meng Niang hesitated and said, "Master Cheng Jiao, Niang Rong has a bad temper, I hope you will forgive me."

If she were alone, she would still be confident that she could rely on her endless supply of poisons and her superb poison techniques. She could confidently say that she could fight top masters head-on at any cost, and it would not be difficult for her to escape.

But adding Lu Niangrong, who hasn't even opened up the eight extraordinary meridians, would be too difficult.

Cheng Jiao did not answer, but said calmly: "Since you are all here, why bother watching the show?"

Meng Niang was stunned. Is there someone else?
When Meng Niang was alert, Lu Niangrong was a little flustered and whispered, "Meng Niang, what should I do?"

Hearing Niangrong's uneasiness, helplessness emerged in Mengniang's almond-shaped eyes. She shouldn't have followed Niangrong's lead and come out in the middle of the night.

I thought that with my strength as a second-rate master and my knowledge of poison, nothing unexpected would happen unless I met a top master.

But now an accident happened. It would have been fine if Niang Rong wanted to play a trick on Cheng Jiao, because Lu Buwei would clean up the mess anyway.

But she didn't expect that Chang'an Jun was actually a top master. There are only twenty or thirty top masters in the world, and it is so rare to meet one.

What made her even more nervous was that there seemed to be someone else here.

Judging from Cheng Jiao's tone, he seemed to be an enemy rather than a friend. Meng Niang wondered if she could take advantage of the situation and leave with Niang Rong.

"We'll act according to circumstances. If anything goes wrong, you leave first and I'll stop them!"

Meng Niang whispered.

She has a lot of poison on her body, and if left alone, it is more than enough to delay a top master.

"I didn't expect that the Prince of Qin, Chang'an Jun, is also a top master. However, if that's all, I hope that Prince Cheng Jiao can cooperate with us."

Meng Niang and Lu Niangrong looked around and saw five figures on three roofs, hidden in the darkness.

At least five top-notch masters.

Meng Niang was startled. No wonder she didn't notice it. The comfortable life in Xiangguo Mansion for nearly two years made her lose her vigilance in the trap.

Cheng Jiao suddenly smiled, "What if I don't cooperate?"

The old woman who seemed to be the leader coughed and seemed to be sick.

"This afternoon, if the Nongjia Hero Leader and several hall masters had not come forward, Chang'an Jun would have been captured by us. I don't want to say more, as long as you tell us the secret, we will leave."

Cheng Jiao said disdainfully: "Just a bunch of you country bumpkins?"

With his powerful soul perception, this old woman is at most slightly stronger than the Blood-Robed Marquis, and the remaining four people are only at the level of first-rate masters.

Even if Yan Fei was not around, with his strength, he would be able to win without using his spiritual power.

Unless all five of them have practiced powerful moves like the elders of the Yin-Yang School.

But what puzzled him was that these five people seemed to be from the same force.

If it is true, it would be too scary. He could just randomly pick out the top four. Apart from Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Yin-Yang School, what other forces might he not know?

Could it be the Iron Blood Alliance from another country?

Just as Cheng Jiao was wondering whether to leave one person behind for interrogation, a faint sound of breaking through the air came from afar.

"Haha, you are finally here. This Chang'an Jun is not simple. I am afraid he is not an ordinary top master. He is at least a mid-level grandmaster, or even an upper-level grandmaster."

The old woman's bark face looked a little solemn.

The man in the black cloak glanced around and paused slightly at Lu Niangrong and Meng Niang.

"Remember your Yin family's promise!"

The old woman said: "We in the Yin family always keep our word, you can rest assured."

"That's good."

Cheng Jiao glanced at the man in the black cloak, and his soul sensed that he was stronger than the old woman, and was at the same level as Yanri Xuanjian.

But what puzzled him most was that although this person's voice had changed, his aura seemed to have been sensed somewhere before.

Also, what the hell is the Yin family?

Is there such a school among the Hundred Schools of Thought?

Looking at the way it appeared, he believed it was on the same level as Luowang.

Meng Niang breathed a sigh of relief. From just a few words, she knew that these people were indeed here to cause trouble for Cheng Jiao.

However, two top masters, plus four first-rate masters, seemed to be trying to ambush Cheng Jiao. Would she like to help?
Who made them take action? Even in her opinion, it was just a joke played by Lu Niangrong on Cheng Jiao.

But if Cheng Jiao died, it would be a big deal, and even Lu Buwei might not be able to handle it.

Niang Rong might be punished and put under house arrest for a while, and the best outcome for her would probably be to spend the remaining few years in prison, which would mean that Niang Rong's dream of inheriting her medical and poison skills would be shattered.

So……

Meng Niang was prepared to wait and see what would happen. If Cheng Jiao could hold out, she would take Niang Rong and run away. If he couldn't hold out, she would throw a few bottles of poison to help Cheng Jiao and then run away.

Meng Niang felt heartbroken when she thought about wasting those carefully crafted poisons that could threaten top masters here.

"Do it!"

The man in the black cloak shouted coldly.

This place is very close to the Xianyang Palace. If there is any movement, the imperial guards will come and they don’t have much time.

The old woman picked up a heavy wooden stick and hit Cheng Jiao with it.

Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes. He couldn't tell that this skinny old woman was actually a master of strength.

The attack was plain and simple, but it made him feel the force of a thousand powers.

If this old woman is a warrior, then the man in the black cloak is a pure assassin, hiding in the darkness and wandering around him.

The remaining four first-rate masters were also not idle. They took out their fine iron longbows, bent their bows and drew arrows, aimed at Cheng Jiao, and blocked any space where Cheng Jiao might move.

Cheng Jiao joked, "It's a pity that we still need a wizard nurse."

Before he knew it, he had become a BOSS-level boss and needed people to support him.

He glanced at Meng Niang who was about to leave, wondering what she wanted to do by staying? Was she waiting for him to tie them up and send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
It's too late, but it's soon.

In a flash, the old woman was already a few steps away from Cheng Jiao. The man in the black-winged cloak quietly appeared behind Cheng Jiao, holding out a dagger that was glowing blue and obviously tempered with poison, ready to remove Cheng Jiao's bones.

Four long iron arrows shot towards Cheng Jiao with sharp sounds of breaking through the air. They were not intended to attack the enemy, but to block the direction of Cheng Jiao's movement.

Cheng Jiao raised his hand lightly. If it weren't for Lu Niangrong or the man in the black cloak, he would have wanted to use his internal energy to make some waves. But now it seems that -

The internal energy attached with spiritual power popped out from Cheng Jiao's fingers. Although it was a bit of a waste of spiritual power, it was very suitable for bullying weak opponents.

The old woman's expression changed, and she asked in surprise: "Spiritual power? Are you a celestial being?"

A finger hole appeared on the heavy wooden staff in her hand, and there was a hole on her shoulder and arm that was bleeding continuously. It was pierced by Cheng Jiao's finger, which directly damaged her fighting power.

As the old woman screamed, the dagger in the black-cloaked man's hand broke, his palm went numb, and bloody wounds appeared. His right arm fell limply, dripping with blood, and he retreated far away in an instant, stopping near Meng Niang and Lu Niangrong.

While Meng Niang was on guard against the man in the black cloak, four dull sounds of footsteps falling were heard on the quiet street, which were particularly harsh in the dark night.

"So strong..."

Meng Niang murmured.

Is he really a celestial being?

Thinking of the old woman’s scream just now, Meng Niang was a little bit unbelievable.

Although there are few top masters under the age of twenty, they do exist. However, celestial beings under the age of twenty were probably only found in the era of Huangdi and Chiyou.

The old woman was already seriously injured, and Cheng Jiao's internal energy attached to her spiritual power was running wildly in her body, causing great damage.

The man in the black cloak took out a sharp dagger without hesitation and cut off the injured right arm. If he allowed the strange internal energy to wreak havoc, he would die.

After cutting off the right arm, the man in the black cloak broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, but he did not dare to stop. He quickly put his fingers together to seal the bleeding meridians, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Jiao looked at the old woman who had managed to hold onto the wooden stick and not fall, "What is the Yin Family?"

After saying that, he glanced at Meng Niang who was about to slip away.

"I advise you not to move... huh?"

Cheng Jiao had just finished saying this when he saw a man in a black cloak grabbing Lu Niangrong's belt with one hand and running for his life, even losing control of his injuries.

Meng Niang was frightened by Cheng Jiao's words and stopped dead in her tracks. She didn't pay much attention to the man in black cloak seven or eight steps away. Unexpectedly...

"Niang Rong!"

Meng Niang screamed in panic.

Cheng Jiao frowned. This was a bit difficult to deal with. After all, she was Lao Lu's only daughter. If she was taken hostage, she might end up in trouble.

But this has nothing to do with him. It wasn't him who asked Lu Niangrong to come here in the middle of the night.

Just as he lowered his head and was about to try to torture the old woman, he saw black blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, her head tilted, and she died.

Cheng Jiao was speechless and a little confused about what kind of power this Yin family was.

A top master is actually like a death warrior, dying at any time.

Even if he is just a lower-level grandmaster, it is still somewhat incredible.

Luowang doesn't play like this.

Becoming a top master is not an easy task. Without talent, perseverance, or unrivaled luck, it is difficult to achieve that goal.

No matter what force they are in, they have a lot of say.

Seeing Meng Niang preparing to chase after him, Cheng Jiao snorted coldly: "If you move a step, you will die now, and there is no need to look for Lu Niangrong."

Meng Niang secretly hated herself for being careless, and scolded Cheng Jiao in her heart for treating Niang Rong like this even though she knew they had no ill intentions.

Even so, he didn't take another step.

If Cheng Jiao killed her because he was displeased with her, there would be no hope of rescuing Lu Niangrong.

She needed to inform Lu Buwei, even if she would be blamed for it and lose her only student, Lu Niangrong, but it was better than not knowing whether Lu Niangrong was alive or dead.

Cheng Jiao sensed it carefully and confirmed that the old woman was not faking her death, so he walked to Meng Niang.

"You don't have to worry. If I'm not mistaken, the man in the black cloak just now is the one who calls himself an old slave beside Lu Buwei. Haha, interesting."

He only noticed it after the old slave was seriously injured. Before that, the old slave was not seriously injured, his Qi was relatively hidden, and he was not familiar with the old slave, so he did not notice it immediately.

Meng Niang widened her eyes slightly, somewhat unconvinced.

"How can this be?"

She knew the old slave, and also knew that his strength was feared by even the Luowang leader Yanri, and that his strength was among the best.

"Believe it or not, just follow me."

Cheng Jiao could see that Meng Niang's poison skills were extremely powerful. Even though Meng Niang didn't make much of a move, he realized that in terms of poison skills alone, she was much stronger than Zi Nu and Madam Ming Zhu.

It is clearly marked on the panel that the level of poison technique is actually at level four with full experience. If converted, it is equivalent to the strength of an upper-level grandmaster.

Talent...

The only pity is that the panel shows that Meng Niang was poisoned and became a poisonous body.

If such a great master of poison can be poisoned like this, he probably won't live for many years. It would be better to subdue him and teach Madam Zi Nu and Madam Ming Zhu.

Meng Niang struggled a little. She was Luowang's poison master, so it would be unreasonable for her to go back with Cheng Jiao.

"What, you're not happy?"

Cheng Jiao half-closed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, which shocked Meng Niang's heart.

She seemed to have no choice but to hope that what Cheng Jiao had just said was true and Meng Niang was really taken away by the old slave.
