Chapter 147: You Have At Most 8 Years Left to Live

"Sss-sss-sss!"

At this moment, the soul power on Tang San's body erupted once more, and all the Blue Silver Grass vines across the entire Soul Fighting Arena moved in response, surging toward Qin Jian like a torrential downpour.

"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"

Facing the Blue Silver Grass that was almost impossible to dodge, Qin Jian smiled slightly: "I've been waiting for this moment!"

"Sword Qi Cutting!"

Qin Jian suddenly stomped off the ground, held his martial soul sword, and spun around once, using the sharp rays of Sword Qi to slice all the vines into two sections.

"Not good! He deliberately exhausted my soul power!"

Seeing the Sword Qi continuously erupting around Qin Jian, cutting away all the vines in his vicinity, and then seeing him charge toward himself at high speed, Tang San's heart tightened, but his movements remained calm.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

In Qin Jian's eyes, Tang San suddenly became a mass of overlapping phantom images; no matter how he used his Sword Qi, he couldn't land a single hit on him.

"I originally thought that being able to learn my teacher's Man-Sword Unity and using that as a foundation to develop quite a few self-created spirit techniques was already pretty good, but Tang San, this existence who comes with the unique skills of an entire sect... is truly excessive!"

Qin Jian felt helpless and simply stopped where he was, because by this time, Tang San had already used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to run to the opposite side of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Only by truly facing Tang San could one know just how disgusting this cheat... um... actually is...

"Hoo, hoo..."

He did not know just how shocked Tang San was inside; for the first time in so many years, he had encountered a peer stronger than himself, and it was an almost comprehensive suppression.

It looked like he had easily used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge the attacks, but in reality, he knew that in that last round of attacks, he had consumed at least twice the soul power of Qin Jian; if another round like that came, he would undoubtedly lose!

And all of this was under the premise that Qin Jian had not used his Third Soul Skill and had already fought three consecutive matches...

Tang San thought to himself that if he were not a person reborn, his confidence would have been completely shattered by now.

"The opportunity... only comes once..."

This sentence rang out in the depths of both their hearts almost simultaneously.

"Shhh!"

The next moment, Qin Jian's martial soul sword was flung out by him, shooting suddenly toward Tang San.

Swish, swish, swish...

Tang San once again sidestepped using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and at the same time, his hands turned the color of Ice Jade; as they danced continuously, one could see several black dots attacking Qin Jian from various directions at high speed...

"Hidden Weapon Technique!"

Qin Jian's heart jolted, and as one of the black dots unavoidably grazed his arm, his entire figure suddenly became illusory.

"Blue Silver Grass seeds... it hit!"

Tang San saw one black dot disappear, and his Second Soul Ring lit up instantly: "Ghost Vine, Parasite!"

I've won...

He murmured in his heart, but suddenly discovered a blur before his eyes, and Qin Jian's figure had vanished.

He was startled, only to see Qin Jian appear beside him covered in vines, while his only Yellow soul ring lit up: "First Soul Skill... give me a 1-second stun!"

Tang San's brain felt dizzy, and the next moment he was hit head-on by the incoming martial soul sword, flying backward...

This sequence of events, though long to describe, actually concluded in just a few moments.

By the time the audience reacted, they saw that Tang San had already fallen off the stage, while Qin Jian was completely bound by the Ghost Vine.

"Amazing reaction, a brilliant exchange!"

The host's voice was filled with soaring excitement: "As the host, I couldn't understand this moment of soul fighting, but that doesn't stop me from cheering for them!"

"Beautiful!"

Once these words were out, the entire Soul Fighting Arena boiled over; countless shouts and praises rang out, and even more people began to applaud.

"I announce that in this battle, the Soul Elder Qin Jian is the winner, with a record of one win and zero losses; the Great Soul Master Tang San is defeated, with a record of one loss and zero wins."

After the host announced this, the vines on Qin Jian's body were also released by Tang San.

"You won."

Tang San walked up without any hard feelings and said: "My Blue Silver Grass is poisonous; I'll undo it for you now..."

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "If this were a life-or-death battle, the enemy wouldn't stop just because I was knocked out of bounds; in truth, I lost."

"In a life-or-death battle, the enemy wouldn't leave their Third Soul Skill unused either..." Tang San replied with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, walking off the stage to reunite with Zhu Zhuqing and the others.

"Eh?"

Tang San suddenly said in surprise: "You actually didn't get poisoned by my Blue Silver Grass... what's going on?"

He suddenly grabbed Qin Jian's wrist to examine it carefully, and then his brows furrowed slightly: "Qin Jian, how can such a powerful snake poison exist in your body?"

"Snake poison? What snake poison?!" Xiao Wu, with her sharp ears, immediately asked.

Tang San felt it carefully: "It seems to be a type of chronic snake poison; if left unchecked, you have at most eight years left to live..."

"Eight years?!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both heard this sentence, and their faces turned pale.

"Qin Jian, how did you get poisoned by such a powerful snake venom?" Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and asked urgently.

Seeing her behave in a way completely contrary to her cold demeanor, Dai Mubai felt a surge of annoyance.

Qin Jian shook his head, not wanting to say more.

"Snake poison... snake poison..."

Ning Rongrong murmured, repeating the words, as if some memory had flashed through her mind: "Snake poison... Tang San! Check if it's Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison!"

Tang San's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "You're right, it is Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison."

"Brother Jian..."

Ning Rongrong's tears welled up instantly: "You fool..."

She finally understood why Qin Jian had been able to trade for the Qiluo Tulip from the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo back then; it turned out he had actually been poisoned!

"No need to worry too much. Since Tang San can see it for me, he must be able to cure it, right?" Qin Jian looked at Tang San and said.

Tang San looked troubled and said, "I can indeed cure the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, but the amount in your body is truly too deep; I need some special plants..."

"What do you need? I will have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect find them, even if we have to scour the entire Dalu, I will find them for you!" Ning Rongrong said urgently and immediately.

Tang San shook his head and said, "The plants I need, I will only know when I see them myself; I cannot name them..."

"Ah..."

Ning Rongrong's body swayed and she was about to fall, but she was caught by the quick-witted Qin Jian.

"Rongrong, don't worry..."

Just as Qin Jian opened his mouth, Ning Rongrong pushed him away and burst out, "How could I not worry! How could I possibly not worry!"

She broke down in tears, "It was for me! You were poisoned by the Poison Douluo because of me!"

As soon as Ning Rongrong said this, the others were immediately filled with shock.

"What did you say?! The Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison on Qin Jian was inflicted by the Poison Douluo?" Xiao Wu said in terror.

She herself was a Soul Beast and feared Title Douluo the most; she simply could not imagine that Qin Jian had actually taken the initiative to deal with the Poison Douluo!

"Tang San, I beg you to save him!"

Ning Rongrong suddenly wiped the tears from her face fiercely, threw herself in front of Tang San and said, "As long as you help me save him, from now on you will be an honored guest of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! No matter what you want to do in the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will support you unconditionally!"
