A dull thud rang out, and the martial artist at the fourth level of the Separation and Union Realm fell to the ground in a very disheveled state, spitting out blood.
"You lost."
Li Fengyue said calmly, with a slight smile on her face.
Unexpectedly, the martial artist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly got up from the ground.
"I haven't lost! I can fight again!" the martial artist shouted.
Li Fengyue frowned and said, "My palm strike just now has injured your meridians. Your meridians are damaged and your internal energy circulation is not smooth. If we continue fighting, I'm afraid it will leave you with permanent injuries. At that time, even if you don't become a cripple, you won't be able to improve yourself any further. Are you sure you still want to continue fighting me?"
"I'm sure!" the martial artist at the fourth level of the Separation and Union Realm said through gritted teeth.
Li Fengyue sighed helplessly: "Alright then, come on over there."
The martial artist then charged at Li Fengyue again, and his speed became even faster, and his attacks became even more fierce, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.
"What's going on? Wasn't he already injured? How did he become even stronger?" Jiang Lingxuan asked in confusion.
After glancing at it a few times, Ye Feng said calmly, "He seems to have used some kind of secret technique."
"A secret technique?" Sun Muqing asked with curiosity.
“That’s right. This secret technique can enhance his combat power in a short time and eliminate his pain. It may have other effects as well, but I’m not sure about the specifics. Perhaps it is because of this secret technique that he was able to persist in fighting,” Ye Feng explained.
Zhao Qingyun said, "I didn't expect Wang Nan to have a secret skill. It's really surprising."
"Do you know that martial artist?" Qiu Miaozhen asked.
“Yes, Wang Nan is a martial artist on our Linghuang Island, and he’s quite famous. Although he’s far inferior to Lü Bufeng, he’s the type who gets stronger the more he fights,” Zhao Qingyun replied.
Qiu Miaozhen showed a hint of understanding and nodded.
Ye Feng looked at Qiu Miaozhen and asked with a smile, "Miss Qiu, aren't you from Linghuang Island?"
Qiu Miaozhen's question just now proves that she doesn't know Wang Nan, otherwise she wouldn't have asked such a question.
This also suggests that Qiu Miaozhen is most likely not from Linghuang Island. Otherwise, why would Zhao Qingyun know about Wang Nan, while she had never even heard of him?
“I am indeed not from Linghuang Island,” Qiu Miaozhen said with a smile.
"Then which island's martial artist are you from?" Ye Feng asked again.
"Mr. Ye, why are you so curious? You're asking about my background. Do you have some special feelings for me? Miss Jiang and Miss Sun are watching. Mr. Ye, you'd better not fall for someone else." Qiu Miaozhen covered her mouth and laughed.
Seeing that Qiu Miaozhen was unwilling to talk about it, Ye Feng did not press the matter further.
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing immediately transmitted their thoughts to Ye Feng.
"Night Breeze, why are you suddenly so curious about Qiu Miaozhen?" Jiang Lingxuan asked.
"Is there something wrong with her?" Sun Muqing asked.
Night Breeze shook his head and said telepathically, "No, maybe I'm overthinking it."
After a moment, Ye Feng continued, "I originally thought Qiu Miaozhen was a native of Linghuang Island and Li Fengyue's junior sister, but now it seems that's not the case. However, she doesn't want to say more, so I don't want to ask."
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing also glanced at Qiu Miaozhen, their faces showing a hint of curiosity.
Just then, a loud bang rang out on the arena.
Ye Feng and the others all turned to look, only to see that Wang Nan had already landed on the arena, covered in blood.
Li Fengyue was also panting, and there was a scar on her face.
"Senior Brother Li is actually injured. It seems that Wang Nan is quite capable," Zhao Qingyun said.
"He's too arrogant. He still refuses to use his magical artifact. It's inevitable that he'll get injured," Sun Chaozhen commented sharply.
Qiu Miaozhen said, "No matter what, Senior Brother Li still won."
Zhao Qingyun and Sun Chaozhen both nodded.
Wang Nan on the stage was seriously injured, and her true energy was almost completely depleted, leaving her with very little.
So he definitely lost.
However, to everyone's surprise, Wang Nan actually got up again.
"I...I can still fight..."
"That's enough!" Li Fengyue snapped.
Wang Nan stared at Li Fengyue with bloodshot eyes, and said, word by word, "I...can...still...fight..."
The people of Linghuang Island in the audience seemed to be infected by Wang Nan's enthusiasm, and they were all extremely excited.
"Well done, Wang Nan!"
Even if you lose, we admire you!
"That's enough, Wang Nan. You're no match for Li Fengyue. She hasn't even used any magical artifacts yet!"
"Stop fighting! If this continues, someone will die!"
However, Wang Nan on the stage did not stop there. After taking a deep breath, he roared and charged towards Li Fengyue.
Li Fengyue had no choice but to take action and fight him again.
A moment later, Wang Nan collapsed onto the ring with a thud and lost consciousness.
The martial arts referee counted down to ten, but Wang Nan still didn't wake up.
The Martial Alliance referee then loudly announced: "In the first match of the fourth round, Li Fengyue, a disciple of the Fengling Sect, has won!"
Then the referee waved his hand, and the doctor who had been waiting below the ring rushed to the ring to examine Wang Nan on the spot.
However, after examining him for a moment, the doctor shook his head and said, "He is already dead."
"What? Dead?"
Li Fengyue looked surprised and suspicious, casting an incredulous glance at Wang Nan.
The people of Linghuang Island at the scene were also stunned, and they all gasped in shock.
The doctor stood up and sighed, "Young Master Li, you don't need to worry. Although Wang Nan was seriously injured, the real cause of death was not the injury, but poisoning."
"Poisoning? What do you mean?" Li Fengyue asked, puzzled.
Li Fengyue did not poison Wang Nan, but this point must be clarified in order to avoid misunderstandings.
The doctor continued, "Wang Nan is poisoned by silver tuna, and the poisoning is so severe that it is incurable. Perhaps Wang Nan knew that he was about to die, so he wanted to end his life in a fierce battle on the ring."
Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a look of understanding.
There is a very ferocious carnivorous fish in the South China Sea called the silver tuna. The silver tuna is entirely silver, with a slender body and a half-meter-long spear at the front of its head.
The tip of the spear has venom glands that secrete toxins once it pierces its prey.
Silver tuna venom is extremely potent and requires a very special antidote to neutralize it; ordinary antidote pills have no effect on silver tuna venom at all.
Wang Nan was just a rogue cultivator. After being poisoned, he had no way to seek an antidote. As the poison intensified, he knew he couldn't hold out for long.
