"Lord, are you sure there really won’t be a problem?"

Lan Song snapped out of his shock. Even he, who had always admired Mu Ruyue, couldn’t help thinking this woman must have gone mad—otherwise, how could she choose to do something this dangerous?

She even wanted Master Tian Long to attack her with spiritual power...

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

Let alone Master Tian Long’s formidable spiritual power, even if his spiritual power were ordinary, the Lord probably wouldn’t be able to withstand a single strike...

Mu Ruyue swept a cool glance at Lan Song, then turned her gaze toward Tian Long, whose face was twisted in mockery at the side. Her tone remained as indifferent as ever: "Do you dare attack me with your spiritual power? Or are you afraid... that you’ll suffer backlash from my spiritual power?"

"Hahaha!" As though he had heard a hilarious joke, Tian Long burst into loud laughter. His mocking gaze landed on the woman’s stunningly beautiful face as he laughed in anger and said, "What an arrogant little girl. When I made my name, you hadn’t even been born, and now you dare spout such wild words in front of me! I was unwilling to agree at first only because Lord Mei Yan appreciates your talent and doesn’t want you turned into an idiot. But since you’ve said this much, I’ll grant your wish!"

This time, Tian Long was truly enraged.

This girl was arrogant to the extreme, actually claiming he was afraid of her! With just this little girl, what could there possibly be for him to fear?

Seeing this scene, everyone else could only shake their heads regretfully. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

No matter how strong Mu Ruyue’s strength was, if she took an unguarded blow from the other party, then she... even if she didn’t die, would be crippled for life, and from then on, there would be no possibility of Cultivation.

Could it be she didn’t even know this basic common sense...

"Fine. Since you’ve agreed, then once I give the word, you will attack me with all of your spiritual power! You’re not allowed to hold back in the slightest!"

Mu Ruyue withdrew her gaze and spoke in a breeze-like calm voice.

Tian Long gave a cold snort. "Rest assured, I definitely won’t show you any mercy. I only hope you can still be alive afterward..."

The mocking words entered her ears, but Mu Ruyue acted as if she hadn’t heard them. She lifted her palm, and a towering Phoenix Treasure Tripod appeared before her...

Her breathtakingly beautiful face was reflected on the Phoenix Tripod’s surface, so bright and captivating...

Then, ignoring everyone’s stares, she took out the medicinal ingredients...

"Ingredients for the Regeneration Pill?" Tian Long’s brows furrowed tightly, but soon relaxed again. He let out a cold laugh. "She just said herself that she can’t refine the Regeneration Pill, yet now she’s taken out the ingredients to refine it. Don’t tell me she intends to stake her own life on a gamble?"

Unfortunately, she was still far from the level of a Supreme Senior Alchemist. If she rashly attempted this, there could be only one outcome...

And that is—death!

Yes, aside from death, there would be no other ending!

"Looks like she really won’t shed tears until she sees her coffin."

Tian Long withdrew his gaze, no longer even bothering to spare Mu Ruyue another look...

At this moment, the woman’s face was pale, sweat streaming down her forehead. She bit her lip lightly, all of her attention fixed on the Medicine Tripod before her...

As if, in the entire surrounding world, only she and the Phoenix Tripod remained...

"Hm?"

Mei Yan clutched his bleeding arm, his brows knitting slightly as if he had noticed something, but that impression quickly vanished from his eyes. However, his gaze remained locked, unmoving, on Mu Ruyue’s movements, as though he were carefully observing something...
