The Capital's Dragon Doctor

By now, the young woman's figure had already reached the treetops. She looked down at Lin Feng below, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Heh... You're finished!"

As she spoke, she flicked her fingers, and several fine needles shot out from her sleeve, heading straight for Lin Feng!

Lin Feng's pupils contracted when he saw the silver needles flying toward him. He immediately shot backward, and the silver needles embedded themselves in the ground.

"Pfft!"

Lin Feng staggered. He had just barely dodged a fatal blow at the critical moment, but the fine needles were coated in poison!

"Playing with poison in front of me? You're still too naive."

Feeling a creeping numbness spread from the wound, Lin Feng wasn't panicked. Instead, he spoke in a cold voice.

"Is that so?"

The young woman's indifferent voice reached his ears. She stood on the branch of a tree, a powerful killing intent erupting from her.

At the same time, the young woman's hands moved gently, and she produced several strangely shaped throwing darts.

The darts were pitch-black and glossy, looking exceptionally strange. They also emitted a faint fragrance that would make one's mind wander upon smelling it.

"This poison is called 'Soul-Devouring.' It's my sect's most lethal toxin. To die by it today can be considered your honor!"

The young woman smiled indifferently. This 'Soul-Devouring' could be considered her ultimate killing move, usually hidden in the cuffs of her dress and rarely used.

She believed that under the influence of such a poison, even Lin Feng would be unable to resist. A mere graze would be enough to end this fight.

This was a poison that killed upon contact with blood!

After hearing the young woman's explanation, a mocking smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. For someone like him, who had been tasting hundreds of poisons in the Medical Immortal Valley since childhood, this toxin would only cause a slight numbness.

"I'd advise you to just give up. This kind of thing might work on ordinary people, but it's impossible to use it against me."

Lin Feng's words made the young woman's willow-leaf brows knit slightly. The situation was indeed not optimistic, but how could she admit defeat just like that?

A resolute look flashed in the young woman's beautiful eyes. Since there was no path of retreat, her only option was to fight to the death!

"SWISH!"

The young woman flicked her wrist, and an incredibly sinister Inner Strength surged and gathered in her slender, jade-like hands.

She slowly opened her hands, and as her fingers moved, two pitch-black hidden weapons appeared in her palms.

Her body was like an agile monkey. Tapping her toes on the treetops, she shot toward Lin Feng and hurled the hidden weapons in her hands at him!

"CHHHHK!"

The two hidden weapons tore through the air, shooting straight for Lin Feng's body. Seeing this, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. The faint green glint on the weapons told him the poison was potent.

But he remained fearless. He bent his knees slightly, ready to pounce. The moment the hidden weapons drew near, Lin Feng shot forward!

Beneath his feet, the hard, stone-paved ground actually cracked and splintered. The power of this move was plain to see!

"BOOM!"

As his legs crossed, the two hidden weapons were instantly knocked away. Lin Feng used the immense force to slide back seven or eight meters, dissipating most of the impact.

Lin Feng looked up at the young woman in the treetops. She was watching him, a pretty picture.

"SWOOSH!"

Without wasting words, Lin Feng lunged forward again!

Seeing Lin Feng's terrifying speed, the young woman didn't choose to flee. Instead, she brandished her dagger and engaged him in a fierce battle. Both pushed their Body Technique to the limit, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air.

Although she had a petite and delicate frame, her movements were cunning and vicious, with every move carrying a fatal threat.

Lin Feng's footwork was extremely fast, while the young woman's movements were nimble as she constantly dodged and weaved in mid-air.

"BANG!"

Suddenly, the young woman found an opening and slammed a palm into Lin Feng's chest. A powerful burst of Inner Strength erupted, sending him flying backward to crash heavily onto the ground!

Lin Feng clutched his chest, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. A terrifying light gleamed in his eyes as he looked at the young woman, but a sense of helplessness rose in his heart.

'After all, there's still a gap between the Peak of Late Stage Innate and the Late Stage of Innate. Even though I was being extremely careful, one careless mistake was all it took for her to injure me!'

"Cough, cough..."

Lin Feng coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood. He looked at the young woman hovering in mid-air, his eyes filled with solemnity.

The young woman, in turn, looked down at Lin Feng on the ground, her face thick with killing intent.

"Kid, with your strength, you can be proud for having withstood two of my assassination attempts."

"Now, be a good boy and die."

An incomparably icy voice came from the young woman's mouth. With a flick of her right hand, the dagger that glowed with a faint light appeared in her grip. Its sharp blade glinted with a soul-stealing coldness.

With another flick of her wrist, the sharp dagger transformed into a sky full of phantoms that descended upon Lin Feng on the ground, as if intending to tear him to shreds.

Seeing this, Lin Feng's eyes filled with gravity. Without the slightest hesitation, his body trembled as a potent Inner Strength burst forth from within him. He stomped his feet hard on the ground, and his entire body shot into the sky like a cannonball.

"WHOOSH!"

He gripped his shortsword, his eyes locked onto the trajectory of her descending weapon. Instantly, a fierce sword gleam whistled out, sweeping toward the sky full of dagger shadows.

"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

A series of dense collisions rang out endlessly as sparks flew. The dagger shadows were completely swept away by the fierce sword gleam.

Lin Feng drifted down, sword in hand. His gaze was fixed coldly on the young woman hovering in mid-air. He flicked his wrist again, and the shortsword in his hand became a blur.

"SWOOSH!"

A fierce sword light shot toward the young woman like a meteor shower. The cold blade moved so fast that it seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

"CLANG!"

When the young woman saw this, her delicate brows furrowed. Even with her strength, she didn't dare to receive this attack from Lin Feng head-on. Stomping her foot, she leaped backward like a dragonfly skimming the water's surface.

Without even blinking, Lin Feng pressed his attack. Under his control, the shortsword stuck to the young woman's retreating figure like a maggot on a rotting bone!

Seeing Lin Feng's maneuver, the young woman also understood that his strength was extraordinary. She raised her arm, and a silver light flared. Her snow-white dagger bloomed with a dazzling cold gleam under the moonlight!

As her wrist turned, the dagger struck out toward the fierce sword gleam like a venomous snake.

"CLANG!"

The dagger and the shortsword collided, letting out a piercing, crisp ring of metal!
