Ye Feng glanced at the corpse with a pierced head on the ground, took a deep breath, and felt a hint of confusion. “Why don’t I feel any discomfort? No fear, no nausea—instead, I feel somewhat excited. Could I be born cold-blooded?”
Shaking his head, Ye Feng dismissed the doubt and turned his attention to the two white dots on the detector.
The two white dots appeared extremely clear on the 3D screen in front of Ye Feng. Within a five-kilometer radius, there were only those two large white spots.
“What kind of opponent did Uncle Tie encounter…” Ye Feng still remembered Old Tie’s data clearly. Although his own strength had increased significantly, he didn’t think he had a great chance of winning against Old Tie.
He had fought with Brute Bull for nearly an hour, yet Old Tie remained in the same place, which proved how strong the opponent was. With this in mind, Ye Feng immediately rushed in the direction indicated on the screen.
……
Under the cover of night, in a secluded park grove near Ye Feng’s university, two men were engaged in a fierce fight.
“It seems I greatly underestimated your strength! Under Long Tian’s men, there’s someone as capable as you!” Zuo Qiu’s words were hard to interpret—was it praise or something else?
“If you want to kill me, you’re still too inexperienced! That big guy hasn’t returned after all this time; he must have already been killed!” Old Tie sneered deliberately.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qiu’s expression changed—he clearly found the situation suspicious too. Logically, Brute Bull was strong enough to take down a kid like Ye Feng in at most ten minutes. But now, almost an hour had passed, and he still hadn’t heard any news. This was clearly abnormal!
Ye Feng hid in the shadows, observing the two men secretly. At the same time, he also saw the combat stats of the other man.
Total combat stats: 240
Strength: 49
Speed: 49
Mental strength: 49
Unknown energy: 93
“This guy’s unknown energy is only slightly lower than Uncle Tie’s. No wonder they’ve been stuck in a stalemate for so long…” Ye Feng realized that this man was indeed a master, just as he had guessed.

“There’s no point in continuing this stalemate, right? Don’t you want to kill me?” Lao Tie sneered coldly, deliberately provoking his opponent. “If it’s only at this level, it poses no challenge at all to me.”
“Hmph!” Zuo Qiu snorted coldly. “Warm-up over!”
Zuo Qiu rolled up his sleeves, and his originally fair palms began to change color—first turning blood-red, then slowly darkening to black.
“Five Poisons Palm?” A flash of shock appeared in Lao Tie’s eyes, but that shock quickly turned into anger. “Sure enough, it’s a demonic art! Everyone should exterminate it!”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s demonic or not; as long as it can kill you, that’s enough!” Zuo Qiu swung his palms at Lao Tie.
Lao Tie became cautious now, awkwardly dodging and not daring to confront those palms head-on.
Ye Feng was surprised to see that the trees struck by Zuo Qiu’s palm wind turned yellow and withered. “That guy’s palms are poisonous? The toxicity is terrifying—just a moment of contact and the leaves wither. It seems Uncle Tie is in danger…”
Since Lao Tie knew the name of this palm technique, he naturally understood its origins. He didn’t dare to touch it easily precisely because he knew of its vicious and eerie nature.
“You guys are truly despicable! This palm technique uses living people as food for poisonous insects, allowing them to burrow into a person’s internal organs and corrode them. Once the organs are completely destroyed, the starving insects will devour each other to survive. Hundreds of insects give rise to one insect king, which then breaks through a person’s abdomen to emerge. The Five Poisons Palm absorbs the toxins from the insect king through some special energy mechanism. With your current level, you must have used over thirty insect kings—meaning at least thirty innocent people have been harmed! Such behavior is utterly inhumane!” Lao Tie shouted angrily.
“Hey, I didn’t expect you to know so much!” Zuo Qiu wore a sinister smile. “To be honest, I’ve never used this technique since mastering it. Today is a good chance to test it on you. You should feel honored!”
“Hmph, shameless!” Lao Tie roared in anger. This time, he didn’t dodge but struck back with his own palm at Zuo Qiu’s. “I’ll see if you poison me first or if I kill you first!”
The two immediately stepped back after colliding. Zuo Qiu let out a muffled groan—he never expected Lao Tie’s punch to be so powerful.
Lao Tie stared in shock and anger at his own palms, which had already begun to change color. He hadn’t realized the Five Poisons Palm was so terrifying—just a brief contact had poisoned him.

“The Great Golden Palm is truly formidable!” Zuo Qiu turned his head to look at Lao Tie. “If you hit me a few more times, I might really die at your hands. But unfortunately, you’ve already been poisoned by my Five Poisons Palm. In just one hour, the poison will take hold of your heart and kill you.”
“Do you want me to stand here and wait for an hour, watching you die right in front of me? Or do you prefer to keep fighting me, speeding up the flow of blood in your body so you die within half an hour?” Zuo Qiu’s smile grew even more sinister.
“Pervert!” Lao Tie spat on the ground and charged at Zuo Qiu. “Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!”
“No, if this continues, Uncle Tie will die!” Ye Feng was worried. From their renewed fight, he could see that Lao Tie was barely holding on. The poison was weakening his body significantly, reducing both his strength and speed.
Ye Feng sent his mental energy into the Void Realm, searching frantically, “An antidote!”
The shelves in the Void Realm were filled with bottles of various sizes and colors.
“So many? Which one can cure the Five Poisons Palm?” Ye Feng grew anxious. If he couldn’t find an antidote in time, Lao Tie might die right before his eyes.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, all the shelves disappeared, leaving only a green bottle in front of Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was overjoyed. “This is it!”
He spent 120 domain points to buy the antidote, feeling much more relieved.
He then turned his attention back to the two men, only to see Zuo Qiu clutching his chest, kneeling on the ground.
“You, despicable wretch!” Zuo Qiu slowly raised his head and glared viciously at Lao Tie.
“Hehe…” Lao Tie’s smile was terrifying. “Against someone like you, using despicable tactics is only fair!”
“Hmph! Do you think this will kill me? It’s you who, having used all your inner strength in that attack, are now extremely weak. Without the inner strength to resist the poison, combined with your weakness, it will invade your body even more rapidly. You have at most five minutes left to live, haha!! As for me, I just need to bandage my wound and hold on. Someone else will take care of the rest.” Zuo Qiu laughed maniacally.
“Then it depends on whether you can get away alive today!” Ye Feng stepped out from behind the bushes, putting Lao Tie behind him, and glared coldly at Zuo Qiu…
