"In my opinion, this is a protracted war."

"How could Mu Feng possibly be a match for the Palace Master? He's just bluffing. Didn't you see he only knows how to hide? Is he even a different race? Is he even a man?" This has escalated to questions about his gender.

"My peerless and incomparably beautiful Palace Master! I could easily dominate the entire continent with my looks, but I choose to use my strength to crush the alien races."

"Lord of the Palace, quickly release the poison and kill that black-hearted bastard Mu Feng."

"The one who laughs last will surely be the Palace Master."

"Is that even a question?"

Jing Li did not want to poison Mu Feng, but the Netherworld Chains had become much more powerful after absorbing Mu Feng's blood essence. Although he was not afraid of the poison, he could not confront the chain directly for the time being. He could only keep dodging and looking for ways to counterattack.

Unlike the Yin-Yang Demon Flame, the Netherworld Chains have many limitations in maintaining this state. As long as the Netherworld Chains return to their original state, it will be Mu Feng's death day.

A wisp of black and white flame fell into the fiery red cauldron. Feng Xiang's body was engulfed in flames, and the fiery red light condensed into a giant phoenix. Jing Li bit her fingertip, and three drops of her blood essence entered the phoenix. Immediately, a clear phoenix cry rang out in the sky.

Mu Feng's expression changed drastically as he watched the fiery red phoenix charge at the blood python. Then, Jing Li, wielding her small whip, walked over with a smile: "Aren't you surprised that I know this move too? I know many more."

Alarm bells rang in Mu Feng's mind. Jing Li had used all her trump cards; what was she planning? But for now, he could only awkwardly dodge Jing Li's attacks. One Yin-Yang Demon Flame was enough for him to handle, and now with Jing Li added to the mix, Mu Feng felt like crying.

Why was all his methods subtly restrained by Jing Li? This extremely frustrating feeling was something he had never experienced even during his battle with Zhan Changtian.

Jing Li floated in mid-air, watching Mu Feng being chased and beaten by the Yin-Yang Demon Flame below. In a good mood, she quickly took out a few pills from her ring and threw them down.

A bright green pill exploded in mid-air. Mu Feng quickly covered his entire body with his inner energy, afraid of being contaminated with some strange poison.

"Tsk tsk tsk! How pathetic. This is just a little gadget I made to scare people. I didn't expect you to be so scared."

"You cured Zhan Changtian's poison!" (A statement of certainty.)

“That’s right, Zhan Changtian’s price is high. If you were willing to pay double the price, I might not understand why.”

"you......"

Mu Feng had never felt so frustrated. He was now completely caught in a dilemma. How could he accept defeat? Jing Li's combat strength was no match for either of them. They relied entirely on schemes and tricks, and evil magic.

"Congratulations, you've been poisoned." Jing Li casually waved the phoenix feather in her hand. "Do you feel weak all over, your limbs are limp, and you can't muster your inner energy?" Jing Li's smile was bright, but Mu Feng was speechless.

Jing Li was telling the truth. When did he get poisoned? How could it be so potent that he was poisoned without even realizing it? Who knows what serious consequences might occur if this drags on?

"I surrender." Mu Feng blurted out as he watched Jing Li slowly approach.

"Why didn't you just admit defeat earlier? Why did you have to waste so much of my time?"

Mu Feng lost the battle, so he is now in fifth place, while Jing Li is in second place, sitting directly between Zhan Changtian and Yu Kou.

Yu Kou smiled faintly: "The Palace Master is indeed exceptionally brave and heroic. We've met so soon."

Jingli nodded: "This is fate."

Zhan Changtian's resolute face was also full of smiles. Now the human race occupied the top three positions. This was something that hadn't happened in many years since the Heavenly Ranking Competition began. This was incredibly exciting.

"Lord of the Palace, you are indeed a man of great talent and wisdom. I am truly impressed."

"It's just a little trick. It won't be so easy against a wolf demon."

Although Mu Feng was incredibly successful, consistently ranking second only to Zhan Changtian on the list of prodigies, the true leader of the alien race was the inconspicuous but terrifying Wolf Sha.

Wolf Sha is meticulous and cunning, making him virtually impossible to ambush under normal circumstances. Moreover, Wolf Sha's prototype is the wolf, a creature known for its ruthlessness, decisiveness, courage, and resourcefulness. Compared to Mu Feng, Wolf Sha seems to be the true leader of the alien race, and his combat strength is no less than Mu Feng's. Even if he were to encounter Yu Kou at her peak, they could probably fight to the death.

Reluctantly sitting in the fifth seat, Mu Feng's face was extremely ugly. That bitch Jing Li, he was determined to tear him to pieces. Lang Sha glanced at Mu Feng, signaling him to be careful and learn to be patient.

Jing Li sat calmly in the second chair, her reverent countenance and noble demeanor surpassing even Zhan Changtian's.

Zhan Changtian and Yu Kou were naturally long-time clients of Jing Li. They had been worried for Jing Li, but they were incredibly frustrated to see the arrogant Mu Feng fall into Jing Li's hands. All of Mu Feng's advantages were firmly suppressed by Jing Li, and they were completely helpless against him.

"Mu Feng must be furious right now," Yu Kou said with a faint smile, covering her mouth.

"Is there an antidote for that poison?"

Jing Li gave him a look that said, "You're joking, aren't you? They're a tough-skinned alien race. They're not so easy to poison. At most, they'll suffer a little. Unless you thoroughly study their race, find their fatal flaw, and treat it accordingly, they'll be beyond help."

Zhan Changtian shrank his neck, feeling a chill. He knew he must never offend a pill master when he went out in the future; these pill masters were like black sesame-filled dumplings!
