You're Not Going Anywhere Until You Defeat Me, Chu Xinghe!

Chu Xinghe's eyes were brimming with tears at that moment.

Nothing in life is more painful than this...

When you see that your opponent's hand is full of bombs (four of a kind), you think you've already lost... But then you accidentally glance at your own hand and realize it's all royal flushes... Can you imagine how frustrating that is?

With Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng joining the Vast Heaven Sect this time, Chu Xinghe truly doesn't know how he could possibly avoid defeat should a match begin...

We won't resort to any underhanded tactics this time... Even if I, Chu Xinghe, were to go all out and fight Ji Changfeng to the death, I still wouldn't be a match for him...

So I'm not even acting... I just lost to Ji Changfeng by pure skill, so tell me, is it a sure thing or not?

Everlasting Spring Palace had already given up on their poison skills long ago... so this round was practically a sure thing.

But all of this depends on Ji Changfeng successfully reaching Spirit Crane Palace and being able to compete with him...

Ji Changfeng has barely stepped into the Vast Heaven Sect's gates when Ouyang Ling knocked him down... So who can he complain to?

As expected of Sister-in-law Jiuli's snack, its lethality is hard to say, but its ability to cause unconsciousness is truly terrifying.

Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng lay on the ground for a full hour before slowly waking up...

The moment Ji Changfeng his eyes, he felt... he might as well never have opened his eyes again...

As Ji Changfeng the expressions on the faces of those around him, he tried desperately to recall everything that had just happened...

I've arrived at the Vast Heaven Sect, right...? There's nothing wrong with me coming to visit the Jiuli, is there...?

Then I met a very arrogant and boastful young girl named Ouyang Ling, right?

And then she actually wants to have a match with me? This little girl is way too arrogant.

But... after that piece of osmanthus cake... I think I... fainted?

Ji Changfeng's mind was completely blank at that moment.

Because Ji Changfeng simply couldn't understand why... "I am Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng... What happened to my unparalleled poison skills?"

We came to the Vast Heaven Sect to sweep through it, to utterly crush Chu Xinghe...

But I didn't even get to see Chu Xinghe's face, and I was already knocked down?

Is this appropriate?

"Mr. Ji... are you alright...?" Gu Mingchao's mind was completely blank at this moment.

Seeing that Ji Changfeng had woken up, he quickly asked him what was wrong.

But Gu Mingchao's question only made things worse; once he asked, Ji Changfeng burst into tears.

Um... have you even considered how I Ji Changfeng, feel?

So many of you are surrounding me, Ji Changfeng, like I'm a monkey... Do you want me dead?

I'm the Poison Venerable... I came to the Vast Heaven Sect with the plan to sweep through everything in my path... What's going on here?

Ji Changfeng staggered to his feet. By now, he was surrounded by the Vast Heaven Sect members who had rushed over from all sides upon hearing the news.

Everyone stared blankly at Ji Changfeng, who was even more bewildered.

There was no other way... When Ji Changfeng joined the Vast Heaven Sect, all the palaces of the Vast Heaven Sect initially attached great importance to it.

After all, this is the Poison Venerable. Does Xinghe really have a chance to defeat him?

Could Xinghe be losing to the Poison Venerable?

Everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect, from elders to disciples, was worried about this issue.

But now... the Poison Venerable hasn't even seen Xinghe's face before being taken down by Ouyang Ling... isn't that a bit too outrageous?

However, after learning that the Poison Venerable had eaten Jiuli's snacks, everyone calmed down...

Well... Poison Venerable... why were you so foolish...? Even though you're the Poison Venerable, you have no idea what you're facing...

Those are Jiuli delicacies... They're something that transcends even poison. Don't even mention the Poison Venerable; even if your master, the Poison Saint, came, he'd be completely defeated on the spot!

At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng. For Ji Changfeng, the question was no longer whether he was embarrassed or not...

Ji Changfeng's face turned bright red with embarrassment... At this moment, Ji Changfeng knew that it was no longer a matter of losing face; it was time for him to defend his dignity Poison Venerable!

Under countless gazes, Poison Venerable walked a few steps to the table where Ouyang Ling had just been sitting, picked up the osmanthus cake on the table, and stuffed it into his mouth again.

"Mr. Ji, you mustn't..."

"Poison Venerable, please don't do this..."

"Quickly, stop him..."

Chaos erupted at this moment, because no one expected that Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng would be such a ruthless and competitive person, who would decide to challenge Jiuli Desserts again at the slightest disagreement.

But even Gu Mingchao couldn't stop it in time...

So, right before everyone's eyes, Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng, with Jiuli pastry in his mouth, slumped to the ground with a thud... and became erect again...

Before losing consciousness, Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng clearly saw Ouyang Ling pick up the same osmanthus cake with a disdainful expression and put it in her mouth... her disdain growing even stronger as she ate...

When the Poison Venerable awoke for the second time, it was already completely dark.

But there were countless times more people around than before... The moment Ji Changfeng woke up, tears streamed down his face.

I, the mighty Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng... I was poisoned unconscious twice in the Vast Heaven Sect... And that's not even the most shameful part. The most shameful part is that I didn't even understand why I was poisoned unconscious...

I don't even know what poison is... I'm not Poison Venerable, I'm just completely poison-stricken!

If Ji Changfeng could accept that the first time Ouyang Ling sent him osmanthus cake was because he had accidentally been infected, he could still accept it.

But the second time... even though he had made thorough preparations, he still couldn't resist the poison of the osmanthus cake and was directly poisoned into unconsciousness... Ji Changfeng believed that he was familiar with all the strange poisons in the world.

But today, the Poison Venerable is bewildered... How could there be such a strange poison in this world, one that even I, the Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng, cannot withstand even the slightest bit of?

The problem was, when Ji Changfeng at Ouyang Ling, who was still looking at him with disdain, he found it even harder to accept.

If this strange poison truly attacked everyone indiscriminately, causing everyone to be affected, Ji Changfeng could still accept it.

But Ouyang Ling was perfectly fine after eating it, while I Ji Changfeng, the Poison Venerable, was poisoned and fell into a coma after eating it? What kind of nonsense is this?

It's important to understand that in the art of poisons, detoxification and avoidance are crucial aspects.

In the past, when Ji Changfeng competed with others in poison skills, the simplest and most direct way was for me to take out some poison and you to take out some poison, and then... we would taste each other's poison. Whoever was knocked down was simply not good enough.

Over the years, Ji Changfeng consumed countless rare and deadly poisons, but none of them have ever managed to bring him down, let alone cause Ji Changfeng to fall ill.

Ji Changfeng once exclaimed that there was no poison left in the world that could harm him.

But today... this osmanthus cake knocked me out twice in a row, and I didn't even have the slightest ability to resist... But Ouyang Ling not only ate two pieces just now, but she's still eating osmanthus cake right now...

She's not eating osmanthus cake at all... she's practically humiliating me, Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng!

So you lost?

Did we really lose so inexplicably?

I, Ji Changfeng, came to the Vast Heaven Sect to crush Chu Xinghe... but I didn't even get to see Chu Xinghe before being instantly killed by a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect?

Ji Changfeng sat on the ground, looking utterly dejected. At this moment, he was not the Poison Venerable; he was just a bewildered old man, stunned by the poison.

"Mr. Ji... are you alright...?" Gu Mingchao looked helpless at this moment.

Well... Poison Venerable... you really are something else, giving up a perfectly good life to challenge the Jiuli's snacks, aren't you crazy?

You may be the Poison Venerable, that's true, but do the Jiuli's snacks even care about yours?

As for Jiuli's pastries, apart from the Ouyang Lineage, they've been rampaging through the land... Even I, Martial God, don't have the courage to try them.

Even if you, Ji Changfeng, are the Poison Venerable, even if your ability to avoid poison is unparalleled... isn't it a bit too outrageous of you to attempt to challenge the Jiuli Li Delights?

"So be it... I'm a man of honor, I've lost today..." Ji Changfeng, a man of great renown, slumped on the ground, speaking with a dejected expression.

Upon hearing Ji Changfeng's words, the many Vast Heaven Sect members around him were overjoyed.

Regardless of whether it was because of the Jiuli pastries or not, just tell me whether Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng personally admitted defeat.

Wu Qun arrived at this moment as well.

However, Wu Qun's mind was completely blank at that moment...

Well... this time, Chu Xinghe represented the Heavenly Medicine Palace in the battle against the Poison Venerable. Although Wu Qun was grateful for Chu Xinghe's righteous intervention, to be honest, Wu Qun felt that if we only talked about poison techniques, Chu Xinghe was definitely no match for Ji Changfeng.

Even within the entire Vast Heaven Sect, no one could rival Ji Changfeng in the art of poison.

After all, Wu Qun had learned about Chu Xinghe's progress in comprehending the Medicine Saint Inheritance over the past two days.

Although Chu Xinghe's progress was so fast that Wu Qun could only shout, "Damn, God bless Vast Heaven!"...

But at the moment, Chu Xinghe definitely has no chance of winning.

Wu Qun was also worried about what would happen if the Poison Venerable really swept through the Vast Heaven Sect...

But now, Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng has not only failed to sweep through the Vast Heaven Sect, but has also failed to defeat Chu Xinghe.

He'd barely entered the Vast Heaven Sect's gates and already been knocked down twice... What the hell is the point of this competition...?

Wu Qun thought he had already thought highly of the Vast Heaven Sect.

But only now did Wu Qun realize that he had seriously underestimated the Vast Heaven Sect.

The Vast Heaven Sect didn't even need Xinghe to make a move; Ouyang Ling alone instantly annihilated Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng, leaving not even bone fragments behind.

In today's world, the only sect that could make Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng personally admit to accepting defeat in a bet... is probably the Vast Heaven Sect.

Just as Wu Qun was overjoyed because the Poison Venerable had personally admitted defeat, Chu Xinghe spoke up!

"Poison Venerable Master... you mustn't... the osmanthus cake you consumed today wasn't poison at all, but merely a dessert from Sister-in-law Jiuli, and not Ouyang Ling's poison technique. Therefore Poison Venerable Master, you haven't lost!"

Chu Xinghe then carefully explained the matter of Jiuli to Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng.

Admit defeat?

We absolutely cannot let Ji Changfeng admit defeat now...

Did you Ji Changfeng, admit defeat?

You're basically helping me Chu Xinghe, admit defeat, okay?

I don't know if you, Ji Changfeng, are strong or not... but Chu Xinghe is strong this time, and I absolutely will not allow you to admit defeat... You won't go anywhere until you defeat me, Chu Xinghe!
