The mountain range, originally shrouded in gray aura, was now riddled with ravines after the aftershocks of Lin Feng and Scorpion Mountain's battle.
"Hahaha, Master, calling you a once-in-a-century genius is an understatement. Not only have you reached such a level in alchemy, but your foundation in Dou Qi cultivation is also truly strong."
Scorpion Mountain, also covered in wounds, praised Lin Feng with a beaming smile, as if he had won a battle. If it weren't for the injuries on both of them and the severely damaged landscape around them, those hiding in the shadows would have thought the two were very close.
"Sect Master Scorpion Mountain, you flatter me. I still have much to learn!"
Lin Feng, who had already seen through Scorpion Mountain's trump cards in his soul, did not show any weakness and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Master's demeanor is indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for the fact that Master had obtained the Poison Master's treasure and was unwilling to hand it over, I would certainly have treated Master as an honored guest."
Seeing Lin Feng still maintaining this demeanor, Scorpion Mountain couldn't help but sigh, then his tone changed.
"What a pity, Master will perish here today!"
As if fulfilling Scorpion Mountain's words, amidst the joyful gazes of the many elders of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, a powerful and familiar aura suddenly rose from afar and rapidly approached this place.
"Old Sect Master!"
"Lin Feng (Brother), what do we do now?"
Seeing this powerful Dou Zong aura appear, and it seemed to be even a level higher than Cai Lin's aura, it should have reached the level of a two-star Dou Zong. You must know that after reaching the Dou Huang level, apart from geniuses like Lin Feng, the difference between each star level is difficult to overcome, let alone the higher level of Dou Zong.
With the appearance of this aura, Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, who did not know Lin Feng's trump card, also became somewhat nervous. If this Dou Zong expert made a move, and then there was Scorpion Mountain, a Dou Huang at the peak, dealing with Zi Yan. Then Little Fairy Doctor would be in danger, not to mention there are some treacherous individuals lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.
Moreover, those Dou Wang and Dou Huang who claimed to have left might not have truly left; the strange fire in Lin Feng's hands is the most top-tier treasure of a poison master. With this, one could advance to the Dou Zong realm in a short time. At that time, wouldn't the Chu Yun Empire and even the Northwest Continent be unstoppable? Such a treasure cannot be scared away by a few threats or inducements.
"Buzz!"
With a strange fluctuation, a figure with white hair and a youthful face suddenly appeared before everyone.
"Old Sect Master!"
The people of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, including Scorpion Mountain, all bowed respectfully to him.
"This young man, is he the one who wields the Netherworld Poison Fire?"
With a slight wave of his hand, signaling everyone to rise, the old sect master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect turned slightly to face Lin Feng.
"Young man, I am Scorpion Bi Yan, the former sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, a two-star Dou Zong. If you know what's good for you, you'd better hand over this poisonous fire obediently, lest I make a move and ruin your precious talent!"
Although he didn't know Lin Feng's identity as an alchemist, nor did he know that he was backed by Canaan Academy, Scorpion Bi Yan didn't immediately attack after sensing that Lin Feng had reached the intermediate Dou Huang level at such a young age.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the old sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect to be so kind. However, it's still uncertain who will win this time!"
Seeing Scorpion Bi Yan's confident appearance, Lin Feng took out a top-grade healing pill from his storage ring, instantly removing his wounds. Then he smiled lightly, his tone enigmatic.
"Young man, I advise you to be careful. If I make a move, I won't care about Canaan Academy behind you or your identity as an alchemist."
It turned out that it was Xie Shan, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, who, taking advantage of Lin Feng's pause while he was taking the pills, used his Dou Qi to transmit his information to Lin Feng. Upon learning of Lin Feng's situation, Xie Biyan's pupils constricted slightly, and his face immediately fell silent.
"Oh, is that so? I'd like to see how you, you old scoundrel, harm my husband!"
Just as the situation was about to erupt, a charming yet murderous voice rang out, followed by a colorful figure rapidly approaching from the distant horizon. What shocked the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect members even more was that this figure, like their former sect leader, stood in mid-air.
This was yet another "Dou Zong" powerhouse!
"Queen Medusa!?"
As the figure drew closer, Xie Biyan's gloomy voice slowly escaped his lips, and his expression turned ugly as he thought of the word "husband" spoken by this woman.
Originally, this young man was evenly matched with Scorpion Mountain, and now Medusa's aura was similar, not to mention that the Snake-People's combat strength was superior to that of ordinary humans.
"Damn it, who would have thought their reinforcements would arrive so quickly? However, I must take this Netherworld Poison Fire, even if the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect suffers heavy casualties."
Scorpion Bi Yan's gloomy eyes darted back and forth between Lin Feng and Cai Lin. He had to take this poison fire today. With this treasure of the poison master, with his talent, even reaching the legendary Dou Zun realm was not impossible.
"Your Excellency, I am willing to exchange all the wealth of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect for this Netherworld Poison Fire." After Cai Lin appeared, Scorpion Bi Yan's tone was no longer so arrogant.
"However, if Your Excellency still wants to take this Netherworld Poison Fire away, I will fight to the death."
Scorpion Bi Yan did not say the last part, but Lin Feng and Cai Lin naturally understood the meaning behind his words. However, everyone's in this business, and no one's going to back down so easily.
"Cai Lin, you quickly take down Scorpion Mountain and those Wan Scorpion Sect members, while I'll handle Scorpion Bi Yan."
Just as Scorpion Bi Yan was trying to persuade the others to bring out their poisonous fire, Lin Feng secretly transmitted his voice to Cai Lin.
"What! Lin Feng, let me deal with that Dou Zong old man."
Cai Lin was a little anxious upon hearing Lin Feng's words, which was different from her usual decisiveness. Perhaps, this is the magic of love!
"Cai Lin, trust me!"
Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart after hearing the anxiety and concern in Cai Lin's tone.
"In that case, Lin Feng, you must hold on, I will definitely take down those Wan Scorpion Sect members quickly!" As soon as Cai Lin
finished speaking, colorful battle qi spread out, transforming into a sharp longsword. Before Scorpion Bi Yan could say anything, it bypassed him and charged towards Scorpion Mountain and the many Wan Scorpion Sect members.
Just as Xie Biyan was about to stop him, a figure had already appeared before him.
"Senior Xie Biyan, why don't you stay here and watch?"
"Boy, you truly don't know your place. Fine, my goal was always you. As long as I seize your strange fire, even if they sacrifice many, it will be worth it!"
