Chapter 2462
Li Guangbi knew he had no choice but to admit defeat. "I concede. Give me the antidote quickly."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at her. "You admit defeat?" She tossed a small bottle to Li Guangbi.
Li Guangbi took out the pill and swallowed it hurriedly. Only then did she look at Zhu Yanyi and say, "This isn't medical art. At best, it’s poison craft. You’re just good with poisons."
Zhu Yanyi spoke calmly. "As a doctor, one must understand everything related to medicine. Poison is a type of medicine. Only those who know how to use poison can truly use medicine. You don’t even understand this simplest truth."
She sighed and shook her head, looking regretful. "Since you understand nothing, yet call yourself a medical cultivator, I think you are disgracing the name."
Zhu Yanyi stopped paying attention to Li Guangbi. "If you are still unconvinced, I welcome your challenge anytime. Of course, to challenge me, your poison craft must surpass mine. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any demon or human who surpasses me in poison or medicine. You can try if you don’t believe me. However…"
Zhu Yanyi changed her tone. "Let me be clear. If you come to challenge me with such boring tactics again, you will bear the consequences. I won’t be in such a good mood as today. Saying 'I concede' won’t save you."
Zhu Yanyi was warning Li Guangbi and Miao Hai. She suspected these demons had ulterior motives, likely trying to trick other demon doctors into fighting her.
Zhu Yanyi was not afraid of challenges, but endless ones were unnecessary. Doing things with no benefit was foolish. She had warned them now. She was ready for any challenge, but the outcome wouldn’t be decided by them. If they lost, the cost might not just be admitting defeat, but their lives.
For cultivators, the strong rule. This was especially true in the Demon Realm, where strength determined survival. If chaos erupted, only those with the most powerful means would survive.
Li Guangbi looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Are you saying you will kill us?"
His words were clearly a trap.
Unfortunately, some traps are graves for those facing absolute strength, as in this moment.
"Kill you? I have no interest. But if you are tired of living, I don’t mind helping you out. However, I don’t work for free. There is always a price," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. After all, deep down, she was once the Immortal Realm’s bandit, One Cloud. Such words were natural to her.
Li Guangbi’s expression was poor. She didn’t argue, but calculated how to revenge herself on Zhu Yanyi.
Although Li Guangbi admitted defeat verbally, she was unconvinced in her heart. She believed she lost because Zhu Yanyi tricked her. They agreed to compare medical skills, but she used poison, leading her astray. Thus, she remained resentful.
Zhu Yanyi naturally saw the resentment in Li Guangbi’s eyes, but she didn’t care. Li Guangbi was insignificant to her. Dealing with her would be too easy.
Moreover, she had already set the terms. She wasn’t afraid of her bringing others to trouble her. Next time, she wouldn’t hold back.
Li Guangbi knew her visit to the Yan family had failed. After taking the antidote and hearing Zhu Yanyi’s warning, she left the Yan family with a gloomy face.
Stepping out of the Yan family courtyard, he turned back, his resentment deepening.
"Brother Li, what will you do next?" Miao Hai knew Li Guangbi’s character well. Seeing his reaction, Miao Hai knew Li Guangbi planned something else.
Li Guangbi sneered. "I don’t believe there’s no one who can handle this Zhu Yanyi. She’s just good with poison. I’ll find a poison expert to deal with her."
"Who do you plan to find?" Miao Hai felt uneasy, sensing he was trapped in a huge vortex. If he didn’t withdraw now, he might never escape.
"We are all demon plants. Naturally, I’ll find a poisonous demon plant," Li Guangbi smiled mysteriously. "Let’s go back. Then I’ll go out to find someone."
Miao Hai said nothing, but planned to leave immediately after Li Guangbi departed. He didn’t want to be dragged into danger.
"The poison you used… aren’t you afraid she’ll find a poison expert to counter you?" Ouyang Tianyun asked Zhu Yanyi the same question.
"Do you think a poison expert here can handle me?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a smile.
Ouyang Tianyun shook his head. "It will only make your name more famous. If a real poison expert comes, what will you do?"
"Alchemy," Zhu Yanyi laughed lightly. "I’ll refine pills on the spot, proving I’m a Level Nine Alchemist. Then I’ll directly refine a Level Nine Poison Pill. What do you think they’ll do?"
"They’ll want to find a place to commit suicide," Ouyang Tianyun said bitterly, looking at Zhu Yanyi. "You are definitely doing this on purpose. They talk about medicine, you use poison. If they bring a poison expert, you’ll crush them with alchemy. Are you even human?"
"I am no longer human. I am the Demon Queen," Zhu Yanyi answered shamelessly with a grin. Yan Aohan, standing nearby, couldn’t help but smile.
Ouyang Tianyun sighed and stopped arguing. "Forget it. I don’t want to talk too much. If I get angry to death, you won’t even shed crocodile tears."
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "I am the Demon Queen, not a crocodile. I won’t shed crocodile tears."
Well, in terms of wit, Ouyang Tianyun admitted she couldn’t match Zhu Yanyi, so she stayed silent.
Yan Aohan said from the side, "The demons in the Demon Realm are too arrogant. If my wife handles this well, it might change the mindset of some demons."
Zhu Yanyi said, "When we arrived, we found many demons don’t reason. Accurately speaking, they are afraid to reason. They subconsciously believe reasoning is wrong, and only bullying is right. So this time, I plan to fight poison with poison, to show them that the rules they set have a huge bug."
