Alchemy & Martial Supreme

However, he was thinking about how long it would take for him to defeat Sikong Dai if he became a Half-Zhizun.    

In the past, Sikong Dai was high and mighty.    

Now, he wanted to stand on top of Sikong Dai.    

Anything that couldn't be done in the past could be done as long as one had the energy of a hero spirit.    

Hong Yuanliang knew very well that the reason Si Koutai wanted to gather hero spirit energy was to increase his strength.    

Apart from strength, luck was also needed to gather the power of a hero spirit.    

For example, his luck wasn't bad, but Si Koutai's luck didn't seem to be very good.    

Si Koutai was guarding on the other side and sent him here.    

Qin Ming, on the other hand, sent the hero spirits here to attack, instead of Si Koudai.    

Because of this, he had the opportunity to absorb a lot of hero spirits' energy and had a fight with Qin Ming.    

If he didn't fight with Qin Ming, he might need to absorb more heroic spirit energy to find a way to break through the bottleneck.    

This was all his luck.    

Now that he thought about it, he had fallen for Qin Ming's trick.    

However, it was a blessing in disguise that he had been seriously injured by Qin Ming.    

If he hadn't been seriously injured, he might not have had the opportunity to break through the bottleneck.    

He could sense that Qin Ming wanted to kill him.    

Maybe he saw through his ambition, or maybe Qin Ming simply thought that his martial arts skills were too strong, and wanted to get rid of him.    

In any case, he didn't die.    

Not only did he not die, but he was also seriously injured once, which completely cleared him of suspicion.    

"My Lord," Hong Yuanliang continued, "We captured some heroic spirits and met more than six thousand of them. We wanted to leave them here."    

"That's why I gathered more than thirty thousand Divine Beast Realm heroic spirits and wanted to surround them so that they wouldn't have a chance to escape."    

"I didn't expect Qin Ming to suddenly attack me. Fortunately, I was quick enough to escape."    

"But that Qin Ming guy looked down on our Poison Demon Clan, and he even looked down on you, my lord. I was so angry that I fought him on the spot."    

"It's just that I wasn't strong enough. Not only did I fail to kill Qin Ming, but I was also seriously injured by him."    

"Fortunately, I was able to absorb some of the hero spirit energy and recover from my injuries!"    

Si Koutai frowned at Hong Yuanliang's words.    

He felt that things weren't that simple.    

Hong Yuanliang was very smart, and he would never be stupid enough to fight Qin Ming.    

Si Koutai looked Hong Yuanliang up and down. His body was covered in blood, and there was a big hole in his shirt at the chest.    

With his eyesight, he could tell that Hong Yuanliang must have been hit in the chest by Qin Ming.    

Si Koutai raised his head and looked at the surrounding Poison Demon, but he didn't see any unusual expression on anyone's face.    

This meant that Hong Yuanliang wasn't lying.    

Si Koudai was very confident. With him here, most of the Divine Beast Realm Poison Demon wouldn't go to Hong Yuanliang.    

Although Hong Yuanliang wasn't lying, there was still a problem.    

"Hong Yuanliang, you're a bit disobedient," Si Koutai said.    

He didn't find any flaws in Hong Yuanliang.    

However, he didn't need to find any.    

As long as he thought that there was something wrong with Hong Yuanliang, that was enough.    

"Lord." Hong Yuanliang's heart tightened, and his forehead and back were covered in sweat. He quickly knelt down and said sincerely, "This subordinate is loyal to you."    

"In order to capture the hero spirit, this subordinate will do everything. Please inspect."
