Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1466 1461: Heavenly Stone? [Part 3]

It took less than ten seconds from start to finish, yet he decisively took the poison!While Su Chen was staring in disbelief at this middle-aged man, four more bodies fell in the crowd.

With this, aside from the assassin shot at the beginning, it seemed the remaining assassins fleeing and hiding had all appeared?

"What's going on?" Lin Hanshu was utterly confused.

"Take these bodies away together, everyone else stays in the hall and doesn't leave without my orders. Hanshu, you keep watch here." Old Man Lin suddenly issued the order.

Lin Hanshu took the command confidently, while Su Chen curiously and gently pried open the mouth of the middle-aged man, who seemed honest.

Just as Su Chen expected, this middle-aged man had a poison gland in his mouth, far more than just a simple poison pouch; the gland was connected to a part of his body, so piercing it could cause death through blood poisoning in as fast as three seconds!

In Su Chen's memory, only one assassin organization in the world could achieve this level: Purgatory!

But he couldn't figure out why people from Purgatory were here and had inexplicably launched an attack on him, Lin Xi, and Old Man Lin's two sons?

"Su Chen, you're with Xiao Xi, follow me. I have something to say to you."

Su Chen silently turned, picked up Lin Xi, and followed Old Man Lin to the back of the hall.

In a not-so-spacious lounge.

Old Man Lin silently sat on the cushion, and the housekeeper brought in a tea set from outside, with smoke curling and a fragrant aroma spreading.

The housekeeper poured two cups.

Old Man Lin picked up one cup, sipped, and glanced at Su Chen, "You can drink, it's not poisoned."

Su Chen mockingly said, "Poisoned? So what if it's poisoned, you're not afraid of death, so why should I be?"

With that, Su Chen took the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.

Su Chen bore the Black Stone, and his blood had unimaginably terrifying effects; not too long ago, he was already immune to all poisons. Unless it was an extremely strong poison, he wouldn't even have a slight reaction.

Old Man Lin shook his head with a bitter smile, "You're still too young, seeing things too superficially. Do you really think the tea isn't poisoned?"

"So what if it's poisoned?" Su Chen said coldly.

No matter if it's poisoned or not, it doesn't make a difference to him; even the strongest poisons are no different from water to him.

"Earlier you drank Dragon and Snake Seven-Day Heart Corrosion Tea. Without the antidote, your heart will be corroded hollow by the tea medicine contained within. I know you have Inner Strength, but the stronger the Inner Strength, the faster the medicine's effect. If you don't believe, you can try." Old Man Lin spoke sagely.

"No need to try, just tell me what you want to do." Su Chen's voice was calm.

"I know that thing is with you. Hand it over, and I can let you and Xiao Xi leave, and truly be together."

Old Man Lin had lived so long; how could he not see that Lin Xi and Su Chen hadn't really consummated their marriage?

"What thing?" Su Chen asked calmly.

"It's something you shouldn't have. When your sister-in-law came, you thought it was just to discuss your marriage with Xiao Xi? How could I be that shallow?"

Old Man Lin snorted disdainfully.

"What did she say to you?"

Su Chen was slightly surprised. He hadn't told anyone that the Black Stone was part of him. Only vaguely did the sister-in-law know that he took the Black Stone, but she didn't know where it went.

He didn't quite believe this was something his sister-in-law told Old Man Lin.

"After Xiao Xi is with you, if she doesn't return in three years, that item in your hand is mine."

"What if she returns?"

"She'll give me other compensation."

"Can you tell me why she chose Xiao Xi as my fiancée?" This was perhaps one of Su Chen's biggest mysteries.

He couldn't understand why his sister-in-law would betray 'Reverse Dragon,' nor why she arranged such a marriage for him.

"I wasn't quite sure before, but today, I think I understand. Xiao Xi should have something similar." Old Man Lin looked at the sleeping Lin Xi in Su Chen's arms and whispered.

"She has it too?"

Su Chen was genuinely shocked. Lin Xi has a 'Divine Stone'?

Rumor has it that each Divine Stone contains terrifying Divine Powers, and the Black Stone fused with him has already shown its terrifying Divine Power.

The abnormal Undying Body and magical effects of his blood didn't appear until after he had the Black Stone, did they?

Just one Black Stone was so terrifying. What about other Divine Stones?

After hearing Old Man Lin's explanation, Su Chen more or less understood.

Earlier, Lin Xi easily toyed with him like a ball, probably due to the Divine Stone's effects inside her, albeit seeming to lean towards 'Spiritual Power'?

But the actual effects were far stronger than any so-called 'Spiritual Power.'

Even with his strength, he couldn't escape her grip for a moment.

Remember, though he was only Intermediate Saint, he had battle prowess comparable to Human King Level powerhouses.

What if...

What if he could coordinate with Lin Xi's powers, wouldn't that mean he'd have the chance to kill Human King Level powerhouses?

Of course, it was just a thought. Human King Level powerhouses couldn't be killed so easily; otherwise, they wouldn't be Human King Level powerhouses.

Old Man Lin cut off Su Chen's fantasy at the right time.

"I can forego the item on Xiao Xi, but you must hand yours to me. I'll give you six days to think. The medicine from Dragon and Snake Seven-Day Heart Corrosion Tea won't act quickly, but if it's the seventh day, even with an antidote, you won't survive."

Old Man Lin's sharp gaze fixed on Su Chen, focused entirely on the 'Black Stone' in Su Chen's possession, unaffected even by Lin Hanyi's death.

"May I ask, do you know the origin or function of that item, Old Man?" Su Chen inquired curiously.

"You probably don't know the item in your hand. No matter, I'll explain today." Old Man Lin said contemptuously.

"There's a legend about a wondrous object that grants immortality. Have you heard the stories of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven?" Old Man Lin asked with a squint.

"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"Plenty! Have you forgotten how Sun Wukong was born?"

"How?"

"A stone!"

Su Chen remained silent for a long time, then showed a peculiar expression, "You wouldn't be suggesting... that thing is the Heavenly Stone?"
