“Damn it! How can he possess such powerful martial arts?” Li Shengming thought to himself in horror. Having been forcefully kicked by the White Elephant, every organ in his body felt out of place, causing unbearable discomfort.

At this moment, Fang Lin charged once again. The White Elephant that encompassed his entire body let loose a roar, its hooves kicking in all directions, causing tremors in the earth.

Boom!!!

Yet again, it was a kick, stomping fiercely towards Li Shengming.

Li Shengming’s expression drained of all color; he immediately rolled on the ground, narrowly dodging the stomping reach of the massive White Elephant’s foot. Even so, the powerful shock wave generated by the elephant’s footstep still swept him off his feet.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Fang Lin shouted, relentlessly pursuing. The White Elephant, akin to a small mountain, kept launching frenzied attacks against Li Shengming.

The situation reversed completely!

Fang Lin, who had been suppressed by Li Shengming, was now dominating.

The entire martial arts arena trembled with the sounds of rumbling, and the ground was continuously shaking, making people worried that the buildings in the capital might collapse.

Li Shengming’s face contorted in discomfort. At this moment, he had become like a desperate rat fleeing, chased relentlessly by the massive White Elephant, with no chance for escape.

“Fang Lin!”

Suddenly, Li Shengming halted his frantic escape and spat blood onto the large axe in his hand.

The next moment, an astonishing wave of energy burst from the axe as though something tremendously terrifying was awakening within it.

“Hmm?” Fang Lin’s eyes narrowed; he sensed an unease from the axe in Li Shengming’s hands.

Roar!!!

Li Shengming swung his axe, devoting all of his strength into this strike, his arms shining with an intense red glow.

As the axe dropped aggressively, a blood-red tiger was released from it, charging at the white elephant with an immeasurable ferocity.

The Blood Tiger! The White Elephant!

The phantom images of the two beasts engaged in a fight, this spectacle rendering everyone on the scene speechless.

The blood-red tiger’s ferocity was extreme; its sharp claws and menacing teeth shredded through the white elephant’s silhouette, causing it to slightly fade.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Li Shengming’s ashen face, but it froze almost immediately.

The white elephant, with a trunk the size of a Flood Dragon, wrapped around the blood-red tiger and mercilessly flung it into the ground.

The blood-red tiger roared, fluctuating in its glow.

“What a match!” Yang Jianye yelled, extremely thrilled.

However, not everyone shared his jubilation, especially those of the royal family, their expressions complicated.

With Fang Lin and Li Shengming proving their formidable strength, did it not imply a lack of talent in the royal family? How could the emperor still be so enthusiastic?

At this moment, the situation on the field changed again. The white elephant reigned superior over the blood-red tiger and kept it suppressed.

Seeing this, a sense of despair arose in Li Shengming. He had a hidden trump card, which he was certain could defeat Fang Lin if he had to play it.

However, playing this card would cause immense injury to himself, and it was not something he would use without dire necessity.

After briefly weighing his options, Li Shengming grudgingly decided. The situation had become desperate enough and there was no turning back; he absolutely could not lose, even if it meant paying a heavy price in defeating Fang Lin.

Right at the moment, Li Shengming placed his hand on the Nine Palace Bag, his eyes fixed on Fang Lin, ready to activate his hidden card.

“Hmm?” Out of the blue, Li Shengming felt his vision blur. He felt his body go limp and weak, as if all his strength had been drained out of him instantly.

Li Shengming swayed, almost dropping his axe which clattered to the ground.

“What’s happening?” The people of the Li Family panicked. Li Shengming appeared as if he were drunk, staggering with a clueless look on his face.

Upon seeing this, a smile formed on Fang Lin’s lips. Redoubling his efforts, the White Elephant suppressed the blood-red tiger with a roar.

The blood-red tiger wailed, its figure turning into a burst of red light, returning to the axis that had fallen to the ground.

The white elephant behind Fang Lin also disappeared. It wasn’t that Fang Lin could not maintain it, but at this moment, there was no need to use the White Elephant Trampling Mountain against Li Shengming anymore.

Li Shengming felt a vertigo, unable to stand still, and sat down on the ground.

Fang Lin, with a brilliant smile, took one step after another towards Li Shengming.

Li Shengming knew that Fang Lin was coming towards him. His heart was in a flutter, but his mind was all muddled, his dizziness so intense that he couldn’t tell north from south.

Fang Lin, standing overtop Li Shengming, asked, “You have been poisoned. Do you wish to continue the fight?”

Upon hearing these words, Li Shengming was immediately enraged and heartbroken.

He was poisoned? How could this be? How did he not feel anything at all?

Li Shengming didn’t want to believe it, he had always been alert, and if he were really poisoned, how could he not feel it at all?

But if he wasn’t poisoned, why did he feel so terrible? He couldn’t even stand up properly.

“What did you do?” Li Shengming struggled to get the words out before his stomach churned and he began to vomit.

With this retch, Li Shengming vomited everything he had eaten earlier. The sickening smell spread rapidly, and Fang Lin quickly moved away from him. Although he didn’t smell anything, he fanned his nose and made a disgusted expression.

Li Shengming wept without tears; this was happening in front of everyone; and he was doing nothing but vomiting uncontrollably. He had basically made a complete fool of himself.

All the people of the Li Family had unpleasant expressions on their faces. Li Shengming’s disgrace was their disgrace as well.

Li Zhendong was so angry that his face turned pale; he cursed Li Shengming for being useless.

Han Luoyun wore a faint smile, obviously in a very good mood.

Yang Jianye, who was seated at the top, had a wry smile on his face. He had not expected such an exciting fight to turn out like this.

“Head of the Li Family, would you like to continue the match?” Yang Jianye asked.

Li Zhendong wanted to curse out loud. What continuation could there be? Couldn’t he see Li Shengming vomiting like that? How could they continue?

“What a contemptible thief! Using such despicable tactics to win, it’s truly a disgrace!” Li Zhendong spat through gritted teeth.

Han Luoyun smiled lightly: “It’s just that I don’t know whether Li Shengming, in his current state, would be welcomed in the ‘grand gathering’ that Head of the Li Family speaks of?”

These words made many people chuckle. Li Shengming was still throwing up uncontrollably, looking ridiculously disgraceful. The Li Family had truly lost face this time.

“Fang Lin used poison to win, it doesn’t count!” Li Zhendong said, his tone gloomy.
