When Qin Hui erupted with the aura of a sixth-level martial artist, everyone present was shocked.
To possess the strength of a sixth-level martial artist at such a young age was considered a genius among geniuses.
Such prodigies were typically cultivated by major families, but Qin Hui had grown entirely on his own, breaking through to this realm by himself.
Elder Sun, watching from below, had an extremely grim expression. When he had heavily injured Qin Hui before, the latter was only a fifth-level martial artist. How had his strength not only failed to diminish but actually increased in just two months?
Most importantly, Qin Hui's breakthrough speed was too fast, which was a dangerous sign.
Faced with such an unconventional genius, Elder Sun's only thought was to kill him. If a talent like Qin Hui were allowed to grow, the Sun family would face misfortune.
Huang Manguo, on the other hand, was filled with joy. Qin Hui's display of sixth-level martial artist strength had completely made him worthy of Huang Qing.
If he could indeed take Qin Hui as his son-in-law, he would be a great asset to the Huang family in the future.
The changes in everyone's expressions were entirely due to Qin Hui's shifting strength. This was how the world worked.
If you had no strength, people wouldn't even bother to look at you.
Bang bang bang!
On the stage, Qin Hui and Sun Tian Ce furiously exchanged blows, neither giving way to the other.
However, after just over a dozen exchanges, Sun Tian Ce had not gained any advantage over Qin Hui. Instead, he had sustained several more wounds from the flying daggers in Qin Hui's hands.
Furthermore, Sun Tian Ce felt that if the fight dragged on, he would lose his certainty of victory. This was because when he was circulating his true qi to fight, he felt his internal energy being suppressed, preventing him from exerting his full strength.
In contrast, Qin Hui appeared much more relaxed, as if strolling through a courtyard. Qin Hui was waiting for the potent poison to take effect, after which defeating Sun Tian Ce would be much easier.
During this time, Qin Hui unleashed many flying daggers, but he still reserved ten of them to deal with Elder Sun.
That old man was very slippery; if he didn't keep some contingency, he might not be able to kill him!
If Old Man Sun escaped, it would be very troublesome to deal with him next time.
Bang!
After another forceful clash, both sides retreated several steps.
Qin Hui's expression remained normal, while Sun Tian Ce's face had turned much paler, appearing weak and listless.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Elder Sun quickly asked, as he had also noticed something was amiss. Even if his young master couldn't defeat Qin Hui, he shouldn't be so weak.
"Hey, Old Man Sun, what do you mean? So many people are watching, don't interrupt our life-and-death battle!"
Qin Hui chuckled, showing no respect to the old man.
Old Man Sun stared intently at Qin Hui, his eyes surely regretting why he hadn't killed Qin Hui back then, thus avoiding today's events.
Unfortunately, there were no such things as regret medicine in this world.
"Kid, I admit I underestimated you, but do you think you can walk out of here alive today?"
Sun Tian Ce suddenly gave a bitter laugh, his eyes turning extremely dark, as if he were about to blacken completely.
Qin Hui remained silent, his gaze fixed on his opponent.
It was evident that this fellow was about to use a trump card. As the eldest young master of the Sun family, wouldn't he be a disgrace if he didn't have any trump cards?
Sun Tian Ce then swallowed a black pill, and his entire aura surged significantly, faintly exhibiting the ferocity of a seventh-level martial artist.
Upon witnessing this, Elder Sun shook his head in secret.
This was Sun Tian Ce's ultimate move, capable of increasing his strength by one level in the shortest possible time. However, such a pill also brought a severe backlash, which meant he would be unable to cultivate for a period and would need to rest in bed. In severe cases, it could even affect his future cultivation.
If he hadn't been pushed into a corner, Sun Tian Ce would not have resorted to this.
"Holy cow, he has this move too."
Qin Hui was somewhat speechless, realizing that the stronger the opponent, the more difficult they were to deal with.
Although Qin Hui appeared flustered on the surface, he was not anxious at all, because Qin Hui also had his own trump cards!
Half a minute later, Sun Tian Ce's strength had surged to the realm of a seventh-level martial artist.
"This is bad. It depends on Qin Hui's fate. If Qin Hui can withstand Sun Tian Ce's attack, he might still have a chance to survive."
"If he can't, then it's over."
Huang Man Tian said with some anticipation.
The Dragon Patrol members were speechless. This old man was too shameless! He had looked down on Qin Hui earlier, and now he wanted to latch onto him?
This kind of snobbery was displayed so openly, as if they were afraid others wouldn't notice.
At this critical juncture, everyone's attention was focused on the stage, all eager to see the final outcome.
"Qin Hui, I will kill you!"
Sun Tian Ce charged forward, his speed and strength significantly increased compared to before.
However, Qin Hui stood his ground without making any move, as if waiting for Sun Tian Ce to charge at him.
Just as everyone thought Qin Hui had lost his mind, Qin Hui threw a punch towards Sun Tian Ce.
Seeing Qin Hui intending to confront him head-on, Sun Tian Ce laughed, a truly delighted laugh. He was confident that this punch would send Qin Hui to meet the King of Hell.
However, Qin Hui's fist suddenly opened midway. It turned out that Qin Hui had concealed a packet of lime and was now flinging it towards himself...
"Ah, you scoundrel!"
Sun Tian Ce cried out in pain, covering his eyes.
Sun Tian Ce had charged too fast earlier and had no time to evade Qin Hui's lime, so all of it landed directly in Sun Tian Ce's eyes, causing them to bleed from the pain.
Enraged, Sun Tian Ce lashed out wildly with his fists and feet, but because he couldn't see, not a single blow landed on Qin Hui.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.
There was such a move?
This was truly bizarre.
This thing was surprisingly effective.
Below the stage, Elder Sun's beard seemed to stand on end from anger. He now wished he could rush onto the stage and fight Qin Hui to the death!
He had seen shameless people before, but never someone this shameless.
"Heh heh heh, I'm dying of laughter."
Huang Qing, watching from below, couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't understood why Qin Hui had prepared the lime earlier, but now she finally understood.
With no target to attack, Sun Tian Ce was like an ant on a hot pan, completely at a loss.
However, as time passed, the power within Sun Tian Ce gradually dissipated.
After one minute, Sun Tian Ce still hadn't managed to hit Qin Hui once. Instead, he spat blood and collapsed unconscious on the stage.
"Young Master!"
At this point, Elder Sun could no longer care about anything else and rushed onto the stage.
"Young Master, Young Master, how are you? Quickly, someone get the Young Master down for treatment!"
Elder Sun yelled. After all, he had bet his life's efforts on Sun Tian Ce, and if Sun Tian Ce fell, so would he.
The Sun family members below the stage immediately rushed onto the stage and carried Sun Tian Ce away, afraid that any further delay would worsen his condition.
Qin Hui, standing on the side, watched with a cold expression, making no move to stop them.
In Qin Hui's view, Sun Tian Ce had been poisoned by his potent toxin, coupled with the after-effects of the pill. Even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.
