The empress was surrounded by eight people. No matter who made a move, she would return it with a punch. She didn't use any fancy moves and relied entirely on brute force to defeat them. This had always been her style. No matter who her opponent was, she would kill them with a single punch.
If she was at her peak, she wouldn't be afraid of these people. However, after defeating Hua Sanliu, she was at a complete disadvantage. Wounds were added to her body from time to time, and her red dress was already covered in blood. Not only was the blood flowing from her hands, but there was also a half-inch deep wound on her waist. This was left by Shi Qingjiao. She always looked for the most opportune moment to deal a fatal blow after the others attacked.
If it was someone else, she would have already cut open their waist.
On her shoulder, there was a wound so deep that the bone could be seen. This was left by Jiang Hailiu.
The empress's face turned colder and paler. Her red lips were even more eye-catching, like blood and fire. Her gaze was still as cold as ever.
Everyone admired Qi Zixiao's toughness. From the beginning to the end, there was no change in her gaze. Whether it was before or now, there was no sign of retreat or weakness. From the beginning to the end, she never flinched.
However, although everyone admired her, it was more important to keep her here. Even if Hua Sanliu was dead, no one dared to underestimate the Nine Pavilions.
Not to mention the benefits from the Great Xia imperial family. Qi Zixiao's head wasn't just priceless.
"She can't hold on any longer." Everyone understood that Qi Zixiao had a huge fight with Hua Sanliu. Even though it wasn't a long time, she had consumed a lot of energy. Now that she had lost so much blood, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
At the thought of this, everyone moved faster and more ruthlessly. They even exchanged injuries for injuries and took advantage of this time to keep Qi Zixiao here.
At this moment, some of the surrounding disciples of the Nine Pavilions started to feel nauseous. Then, they fell to the ground. It wasn't just a few people, but more than a hundred people fell to the ground. Such a commotion shocked everyone. Many people shouted their names and rushed to check, only to see their bodies twitching and foaming at the mouth.
"Poison!" Everyone's expression changed drastically. Where did the poison come from? Qi Zixiao? Or was it someone else? But other than Qi Zixiao, who else could it be?
Before everyone could figure out what exactly happened, the people around them also fell to the ground.
Everyone dispersed. Although they did not know how Qi Zixiao poisoned them, they still subconsciously distanced themselves from each other.
However, it was already too late. Batches of people began to fall as soon as they started moving.
What would be the concentration of ten kilograms of sarin gas after it was released? One kilogram of sarin gas could kill millions of people. Ten kilograms was enough to turn an area into a dead zone, not to mention in such a small area. Ordinary people would definitely die within two minutes if they were exposed.
From the time the empress kicked the sarin gas until now, a total of seven minutes had passed. Excluding the time for the sarin gas to evaporate, she had been exposed to a high concentration of sarin gas for five minutes.
The disciples of the Nine Pavilions were much stronger than ordinary people. It took them five minutes to die, but because of this, everyone had inhaled a large amount of sarin gas. It was too late for them to escape.
One by one, the disciples of the Nine Pavilions ran out with terrified expressions on their faces. However, they didn't run far before they fell to the ground with their bodies twitching.
The expressions of the Eight Great Pavilion Masters changed drastically. No matter what, they had never thought that Qi Zixiao would actually poison them. Furthermore, they had no idea how she did it.
"Qi Zixiao, did you take the antidote just now?" Jiang Hailiu suddenly recalled the scene just now and immediately understood. What Qi Zixiao took just now wasn't some medicine to restore her body's condition, but an antidote.
At this moment, everyone stopped and subconsciously looked at the black backpack that she had kicked into pieces. At this moment, it had turned into countless fragments that were scattered on the ground.
Just now, Qi Zixiao took two small bottles from that backpack and drank them.
Where would she find the antidote now?
"I have said before, all of you are courting death." The empress looked at everyone coldly. Her breathing was somewhat rapid, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. It was extremely difficult for her to persevere for the past seven minutes.
"Take out the antidote," Jiang Hailiu shouted sternly with a glimmer of hope, even though he knew that it was very unlikely. At this moment, it was as if he had been doused with ice water, and his whole body was trembling.
The faces of the others were deathly pale.
Although they were still fine, it was only because they were stronger than ordinary disciples that they could persevere for a little longer.
"Antidote? I drank it, "the empress said faintly. This simple sentence made them tremble all over.
"The antidote you want is with me, and I will destroy it before I die." Zhu Lang's face turned ashen.
"It doesn't matter, I can go in and look for it. There must be more," the empress said. "There shouldn't be many antidotes that need to be stored in such a box."
That's right, that antidote was previously stored in a very exquisite box. Presumably, it wasn't specially found by Zhu Lang.
There was one more sentence that she didn't say for fear of reminding everyone. Even if the antidote was destroyed, as long as there was a little bit of residue left, it would be enough to compare the smell. Presumably, different antidotes had different ingredients and smells.
"I will kill you to accompany me in death!" Third Pavilion Master Zhong Feng roared and rushed toward the empress, but she dodged to the side. At this moment, she didn't need to persevere anymore. Except for a few ordinary disciples who were far away, all of them were lying on the ground. Although some of them were still twitching, they probably wouldn't be able to live much longer. These few people wouldn't be able to persevere for much longer.
Even though they were at the Spirit Wheel level, they were only slightly stronger than the others. Furthermore, they had condensed their Spirit Martial Arts and could persevere for a while longer. However, this didn't mean that they were immune to poison.
Thousands of people were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner. It was a ghastly sight. The few disciples who had escaped didn't dare to stay and ran far away. No one knew how wide the range of this poison was.
Zhu Lang looked like he was crying and laughing at the same time. He crushed the wooden box in his hand, turned around, and fled outside.
He had a glimmer of hope in his heart that there might be a chance of survival if he left here.
Seeing his actions, the others also started to move. Five of them ran toward the periphery, while the other four felt that they couldn't escape death and rushed toward Qi Zixiao. Even if they were to die, they wanted to add two more scars to her body.
However, Zhu Lang didn't even run five meters before he felt that it was getting harder and harder to control his body. Then, he fell to the ground.
He was the weakest among them and was the first to fall.
The sound of Zhu Lang falling to the ground was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's body. Everyone had a miserable look on their faces.
Behind him was Zhang Zijiang, who was about to jump over the roof, but he fell head first.
The empress calmly dodged the attacks of the last four people and watched as they fell one by one.
"You can't leave Great Xia!" Jiang Hailiu's eyes were filled with viciousness. After he finished speaking, he fell a few steps away from the empress.
The empress stood there indifferently. Other than three to five people who had escaped, the rest of the people in the Nine Pavilions had fallen in this col.
She knew that she had to hurry. She understood a little about the sarin gas from the other world. With such a high concentration, it would be very dangerous even if she took the antidote.
It was just that the physical condition of the aboriginals was much better than that of the Spirit Wheel experts in Great Xia. In terms of physical strength, even five Hua Sanlius couldn't compare to her. Coupled with the antidote, it didn't have much of an effect on her. However, if she continued to stay here, it would be hard to say.
In a flash, she came to Zhu Lang's side. He was holding some of the remaining dregs in his hands. After collecting them, the empress plunged into those few pagodas to search. After a while, she left with a few boxes.
As for the legacy of the Nine Pavilions, it was indeed the top legacy of Great Xia. However, she wasn't interested in it and couldn't be bothered to plunder it.
Behind her, only the ghost-like Nine Pavilions and countless corpses were left on the ground.
Other than a few ordinary disciples who had escaped, the rest of the Nine Pavilions were all dead.
