"This…"
The crowd grew even more astonished. This meant the poison inside Han Yu was deepening — so deep that he could barely even stand.
Chu Feng's immortal technique was even more formidable than they had imagined.
"Cowardly!"
But right at that moment, a furious shout erupted from within the crowd.
It was the Supreme Elder of the City of Sword Kings, Qin Peng.
Qin Peng pointed at Chu Feng and roared, "You despicable brat, using poison — you are utterly shameless!"
"Using poison?" Chu Feng smiled faintly, then said, "Whether I use poison or not, it is still my method. Han Yu himself has weak observation skills — are you going to blame me, Chu Feng, for having deep means?"
"If you go out and don't watch the road, falling into a cesspit, would you blame yourself for being blind, or blame others for building latrines randomly?"
"YOU!!!" Qin Peng was so furious his teeth clenched. He had never in his life met a junior who dared speak to him like this.
"What's wrong with me? Did I say anything untrue? If your skill is inferior, then it's inferior — where do all these excuses come from?"
"Who says martial artists aren't allowed to use poisonous techniques when they fight?" Chu Feng asked.
At this, everyone exchanged glances and nodded one after another.
When martial artists fought, any method was fair game. There were no real restrictions — as long as you won.
Seeing that everyone seemed to side with Chu Feng, Qin Peng's expression grew even uglier. But he had no way to argue back against Chu Feng, so he could only wave his sleeve dismissively and drop the matter.
However, Chu Feng had no intention of letting Qin Peng off. He spoke again, looking at Qin Peng as he asked:
"Oh, right, Senior. Actually, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"Speak," Qin Peng said, highly displeased.
"Didn't you say that the Azure Gleam Sword Formation was the strongest first-tier immortal technique?"
"Coincidentally, my technique is also a first-tier immortal technique, so I'd like to ask — why did the Azure Gleam Sword Formation lose to mine?"
"You brat!!!"
Qin Peng's eyes bulged with rage, his beard bristling outward.
He was truly incensed, but he had no rebuttal. After all, it was indeed his own words that the Azure Gleam Sword Formation was the strongest first-tier immortal technique. And the Azure Gleam Sword Formation had indeed lost to Chu Feng's immortal technique. No matter how bitter he felt, he could only swallow it.
"Chu Feng, you think you've already won just because you're acting so smug?"
But just then, Han Yu — so weakened he was on the verge of collapsing — produced a pill and tossed it into his mouth.
"That pill… it's a forbidden medicine, the Nine Revolutions Heaven Pill?"
Although Han Yu had moved quickly, several people still caught a glimpse of the pill he had swallowed.
That was no ordinary forbidden medicine — it was an extraordinarily powerful one.
However, the Nine Revolutions Heaven Pill had a unique characteristic: its medicinal power was immense, yet the backlash it inflicted was relatively mild. This ran counter to the typical properties of forbidden medicines. Because of this, the price of the Nine Revolutions Heaven Pill was astronomical — truly sky-high.
But even at such a staggering price, the Nine Revolutions Heaven Pill remained exceedingly rare.
At that moment, Xia Yun'er involuntarily glanced at Song Yunfei.
She knew a thing or two about the Nine Revolutions Heaven Pill. Not only was it expensive, but it was genuinely scarce — the kind of treasure you might never encounter in a lifetime. However, Song Yunfei, through a stroke of incredible luck, had once obtained ten of them in one go.
So she could almost certainly conclude that Han Yu's possession of this forbidden medicine must have been gifted by Song Yunfei.
That explained why Song Yunfei had been so confident all along — sitting back with the composure of someone just waiting to watch Chu Feng become a laughingstock.
"Chu Feng, I will end you right now and avenge my two brothers!"
