Chapter 349: Methods to Deal with a Martial King

Qin Ming had also considered setting up a Formation inside the Qin Family to lure a Martial King in, directly trapping and poisoning him.

However, if there were no Clan Members inside the Qin Family, the Martial King could simply send people to search. If there were Clan Members, the Martial King would likely not enter, but instead strike from a distance with a palm attack, obliterating the Qin Family members.

Qin Ming was unwilling to let his own family take such a risk.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ming suddenly said, "I have an idea. I can use myself as bait. As the Young Clan Master of the Qin Family, I am valuable enough."

Qin Ming thought of his Pill God Physique; he was not afraid of Poison.

"You as bait?" Jue Wuya said, "You must think this through. If you fail, the Martial King will strike with a single palm, and you will die instantly, without even the slightest chance of survival."

"That won't happen. Don't I still have this forbidden pill?" Qin Ming looked at the green jade bottle and said, "This bottle of Medicinal Pill is enough to raise a Martial Artist at the Martial Spirit Realm to the Martial King Realm. At a critical moment, if I consume this forbidden pill, I can completely withstand the Martial King's attack."

"It's that powerful?" Jue Wuya exclaimed in surprise, "Prepare one for me too. If I encounter a life-or-death crisis, I can use it to turn the tables in a desperate situation."

Qin Ming poured out a Medicinal Pill and handed it to Jue Wuya. He knew that Jue Wuya was just joking. With Jue Wuya's strength, why would he need a forbidden pill to fight an enemy?

During normal training, Demonic Beasts or Martial Artists of the same level could not match Jue Wuya's speed at all. As for those one level higher than Jue Wuya, he would absolutely never provoke them. It wouldn't serve as training and would be dangerous; he would never do such a foolish thing.

Furthermore, Jue Wuya had an unlimited supply of Cultivation Resources provided by him, so there was simply no need to risk his life killing Demonic Beasts or searching for spirit plants.

"You must not consume this forbidden pill casually. This forbidden pill will lower your Talent, damage your Foundation, and leave you weakened for two months. The side effects are extreme," Qin Ming warned.

"Rest assured," Jue Wuya said with a chuckle, "Unless I encounter a life-or-death crisis, I won't use it. I still want to climb to the Peak of the Dao with you. My goal is the Martial Saint!"

"However, compared to my life, I would still choose my life over becoming a Martial Saint. If I'm dead, what use are all those dreams?"

Qin Ming patted Jue Wuya on the shoulder: "Thanks, brother."

Jue Wuya shrugged: "If you die, where would I find free Medicinal Pill to eat?"

"Hahaha…" Qin Ming laughed loudly.

…

Soon, a month passed.

During this month, Qin Ming seized every day to Cultivate.

Although he had been diligent before, there was no pressure back then. This time, the crisis brought by the Qixin Sect made Qin Ming's entire heart tense up.

"If I had the strength of a Martial King, there would be nothing to fear from the Qixin Sect at all." Qin Ming sat on the cushion in the training room, deep in thought, "When it comes down to it, my strength is still too low. I still haven't been able to become a Martial King."

Becoming a Martial King was much harder than Qin Ming had imagined. Qin Ming had now re-cultivated the Grand Martial Master Realm five times, but even after using his Pill God Physique, he still had not been able to reach the Martial King Realm.

"It seems I have no choice but to use that method. I hope I can become a Martial King at the fifth Peak." Qin Ming gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Luring a Martial King into a Formation and then poisoning him was indeed a somewhat dangerous method. If it failed or if he was discovered prematurely, he would have no choice but to consume the forbidden pill.

Even the strength gained from consuming the forbidden pill might not be enough to be a match for a Martial King.

After all, the Foundation of someone who consumed a forbidden pill to reach the Martial King Realm was unstable, and it would certainly be inferior compared to a true Martial King.

If he were dealing with a Martial Spirit Martial Artist, it wouldn't matter even if the Realm was boosted by a forbidden pill. But against someone with high-level strength, especially that mysterious Man in Black, even with Jue Wuya's help, Qin Ming had no confidence at all.

The most critical point was that consuming the forbidden pill had a time limit. The Martial King could simply run away and wait for the effects of their forbidden pills to wear off, then counterattack—that would be disastrous.

While that mysterious Man in Black could run, he could not. The Qin Family was right there in Chenyang City; how could he possibly abandon the Qin Family members to their fate and run away himself!
