The Capital's Dragon Doctor

If they had been evenly matched just a moment ago, now there was a world of difference between them.

"Blood Melting Pill or Soul-Erasing Pill?"

As a top-tier Pharmacist, Lin Feng could determine the effects of the pills his opponent had swallowed just by observing his current state.

This was one of his advantages; he could identify which kind of pill someone had taken based on the fluctuations in their aura.

"You're not as dumb as you look."

Night Blade's face was deathly pale. Both the Blood Melting Pill and the Soul-Erasing Pill were poisons he had concocted himself. Their effects were to burn through a person's potential, instantly multiplying their strength.

But this came with a major drawback: the excess medicinal power would damage his meridians and internal organs. He was gambling that the pill's effects would be enough to kill Lin Feng in a single blow.

He was also secretly delighted, because his aura now completely overwhelmed Lin Feng's.

His attacks grew even more ferocious. His current combat power was more than double what it had been before. He was certain Lin Feng was a dead man!

Lin Feng, however, remained as calm and composed as ever. Although his Fist Technique was incomparably domineering, he knew that its power alone wouldn't be enough to solve the problem.

"Oh, not a bad pill. But you're not the only one with elixirs."

Before Night Blade could even revel in his advantage, Lin Feng smiled faintly and pulled a small jade bottle from his robes.

Then, right before Night Blade's stunned eyes, he poured out five or six translucent, crystalline recovery pills and swallowed them whole!

"What? You… how is that possible!"

Watching Lin Feng pop those obviously high-quality recovery pills like they were candy, Night Blade was completely dumbfounded. 'What is wrong with this guy? How could he waste such precious pills like that?'

In his eyes, Lin Feng had gone completely insane. To treat pills like that as candy… what a wasteful brat!

Night Blade roared internally, but his gaze toward Lin Feng was gradually consumed by greed.

With his keen eyes, he could naturally see that even though Lin Feng had poured out five or six pills, there were at least three more left in the jade bottle!

Those were three high-quality Healing Elixirs! Even he didn't possess something like that!

Moreover, this was something he had always dreamed of! If he could get his hands on it, it would be like having an extra life for future assassination missions!

'For such a divine treasure, any price is worth paying!'

At this thought, a crazed, vicious light flickered in Night Blade's eyes. 'Since you've given me this chance, today will be your last! I'm taking that treasure!'

An overwhelming killing intent filled the entire space. The murderous desire in Night Blade's eyes boiled over; he had completely descended into madness.

BAM!

He threw a punch, and the resulting gust of wind destroyed all the trees around Lin Feng. The wind howled like an earthquake, a terrifying fist wind blasting toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's expression turned grave. This punch was truly earth-shattering, but Night Blade had, after all, only just powered up. He could no longer kill Lin Feng with a single strike.

Not showing any weakness, Lin Feng met the attack with a Thunderbolt Palm of his own.

BAM!

Another muffled impact rang out, and both Night Blade and Lin Feng were sent stumbling back several steps.

Blood trickled from the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, and his chest heaved slightly. The moment they clashed, Lin Feng knew that Night Blade's strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

Even Lin Feng was struggling to handle this level of power, but he held on, continuing to confront Night Blade.

"Haha, Lin Feng! You're strong, but you're at the end of your rope now! You are destined to die by my hand!"

Night Blade laughed wildly. He was surprised by Lin Feng's strength, but only slightly shocked.

However, Lin Feng's condition was far from optimistic. If he could look inside his body, he would see that his Inner Strength had turned red and was slowly expanding.

This proved that Lin Feng was absorbing the medicinal power. The absorption process was slow, but it was safe. Otherwise, Lin Feng would never have risked taking the recovery pills.

'But it seems the effects of these recovery pills aren't that great after all. If this keeps up, I won't be able to hold on. Night Blade is too strong; all I can do is stall for time.'

Lin Feng knew that Night Blade was fighting with his life on the line. The only question was who would collapse first.

BAM!

Night Blade launched another strike, but Lin Feng dodged it again and went on the counterattack, kicking him in the waist. Night Blade's body was instantly sent flying sideways.

But he didn't stop his assault. His hands moved in a blur, and the short dagger in his grasp transformed into a sky full of phantoms, aimed straight for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's brow furrowed. He really couldn't keep fighting like this. He knew that when he had taken the recovery pills earlier, their medicinal power had already begun to spread.

But because he cultivated the Supreme Profound Medical Scripture, the medicinal powers had bizarrely fused together inside his body.

As a result, the new power began to nourish all the meridians in his body, raising his physical strength by a whole level.

Even so, it wasn't enough to close the gap between them. Night Blade was more than just a notch above Lin Feng in power; it was a definitive difference in absolute strength.

But Lin Feng had no intention of giving up. He was now committed to a stalling tactic, but this method of fighting was extremely dangerous. After all, with every passing moment, there was a chance Lin Feng could be killed. Such was the gap between their realms.

At that moment, Lin Feng's gaze turned ice-cold. His eyes were filled with a ruthless glint. He had decided to risk it all. 'Night Blade must die!'

His current situation was terrible. Although the pills were potent, they were, after all, recovery pills. Lin Feng's body couldn't handle the impact of any more medicinal power.

His only hope now was the efficacy of that ancient secret manual. This was why he had decided to take such a desperate risk.

The two clashed fiercely. A series of sharp CRACKLING sounds echoed from within Lin Feng's body. The fight was simple and brutal, with no fancy moves—just a crude, head-on collision of force.

Their two figures constantly crisscrossed in the air. Every exchange of blows cracked the ground beneath them. Meanwhile, Night Blade only grew stronger as he fought, his Body Technique as fast as a phantom.

Lin Feng's Body Technique was also quite nimble, but Night Blade's attacks were growing sharper and sharper. This situation was becoming difficult for Lin Feng to handle. Although his own strength was also rapidly increasing, he was ultimately no match for Night Blade.

Lin Feng's eyes went cold. 'This can't go on.' He knew his current strength was still a notch below Night Blade's.
