Chen Ziqiang's words had pushed Xia Fei right into the path of the storm. Fortunately, this was not the first time that Xia Fei had been questioned publicly. He remained unperturbed, confident, and relaxed as he smoked his cigarette.

"The divine doctor has made his move. How do you plan to respond?" Oro asked Xia Fei.

"I'm thinking that this is a chance."

"A chance?" Oro shook his head. "You're thinking about defeating Chen Ziqiang?"

Xia Fei subtly smiled. "Hard to say. Let's keep waiting. The chieftain hasn't shown up yet."

Neither Divine Doctor Chen Ziqiang nor the surrounding crowd was the focus of Xia Fei's attention.

In this Flame Imp village, Xia Fei sought the attention of only two people: Chieftain Juen and Adviser Joey.

To draw out Quinn from the shadows, Xia Fei had to subdue Juen and Joey. Seth's report had long ago confirmed that the Flame Imp tribe had a connection with Quinn, and Juen and Joey were the two most likely candidates to have this connection.

'Wait patiently,' Xia Fei reminded himself. He could not allow a challenge from some so-called divine doctor to upset his plans. No matter what, he had to keep on course.

Advancing to Law Emperor was very difficult. Xia Fei urgently needed Quinn's Bloodswallow Crystal; besides that, he was very interested in the Immemorial Mystical Armament Phoenix Tail Stone.

The news traveled very quickly, and it was not long before Juen and Joey arrived at the scene. Given how hard Juen was panting, it seemed like he had actually run here. It was no doubt a difficult feat considering his over three hundred kilograms of weight.

The two of them humbly prostrated themselves before Chen Ziqiang, but Chen Ziqiang treated Juen with indifference, his eyes fixed on Xia Fei.

With the chieftain present, Xia Fei no longer hesitated. With his eyes meeting Chen Ziqiang's, he casually said, "Divine Doctor Chen, you're wrong."

Hurrah!

His words instantly left everyone stunned!

Xia Fei had revealed his edge and directly challenged the divine doctor!

Be it age, experience, or cultivation, Xia Fei was far inferior to Chen Ziqiang. At his young age, he dared to say that the divine doctor was wrong. Where did he get such confidence?

"What did you say?" Chen Ziqiang glared, his cold eyes like blades that wanted to eviscerate Xia Fei and see how gutsy he really was.

"I said that you were wrong. My medicine is not poison. On the contrary, if he drinks my medicine, his muscles will be completely restored," Xia Fei very seriously replied to Chen Ziqiang's question.

Ke Lei could not help but roar, "You're seeking death! My master is the divine doctor! The divine doctor! If he says that your medicine is poison, he can't be wrong!"

The crowd voiced their agreement. They naturally had reason to trust in Chen Ziqiang. After all, this name had resounded through the Exiled Grounds for one hundred years, and who was Ah Fei? No one had ever heard of this nobody before.

Xia Fei nonchalantly continued. "So what if he's the divine doctor? Let alone the divine doctor, even if he were a god, he wouldn't be able to change the result. If you're smart, you would stop bringing up the divine doctor here because, after today, the Exiled Grounds won't have a divine doctor any longer!"

"Whooaaa!"

Xia Fei's boasting had the crowd in an uproar, and Juen was sweating so much that it had turned into a puddle. He had never imagined Xia Fei to be this bold, not even respecting Chen Ziqiang! Even Seth, who had always been subservient to Xia Fei, did not dare to believe that Xia Fei could make such an arrogant claim.

The furious and agitated crowd began to insult Xia Fei harshly to maintain the image of the revered divine doctor in their minds.

It was actually quite laughable. They had forgotten about the dozen or so patients with terminal illnesses that Xia Fei had saved, and were instead feeling reverence for this Chen Ziqiang who had never had much to do with them. Truly, reputation was an unreasonable thing that lead to this kind of blind adoration.

Chen Ziqiang's ashen complexion gradually relaxed, pride appearing on his face as he said, "You see! Everyone in the crowd has good eyes. They trust in me over you!"

*Whip~*

Xia Fei stood up and raised arms, ushering the crowd to be quiet.

Raising a brush, Xia Fei wrote out about a dozen prescriptions and handed them to Chen Ziqiang.

"Divine Doctor, what do you think of these prescriptions?"

Chen Ziqiang was startled as he took them and looked them over. He then burst into laughter. "It's all poison! Lethal poison!"

Xia Fei smiled. "Divine doctor, I used these so-called poisons to treat Stuart, Cantona, Roger, Bombardy..."

Xia Fei listed out familiar names, all of them terminally ill patients of the Flame Imps whom Xia Fei had cured over the last four days.

The people all knew about this, so they could not help but ask themselves, 'If it's really as Divine Doctor Chen Ziqiang said, that all of Xia Fei's prescriptions are poison, how did all our neighbors get cured?'

Chen Ziqiang was in a rather awkward situation. Xia Fei's prescriptions and their final results had far surpassed the bounds of his knowledge. Why could poison treat illnesses? This problem had frustrated Chen Ziqiang for some time. This was why he had endured the torrid heat and paid a visit to this remote tribe.

'There's no need to panic. As long as I can beat this Ah Fei, he'll tell me everything,' Chen Ziqiang comforted himself.

Xia Fei smiled. With his sharp senses, he could naturally hear the whisperings of the crowd, and even his most ardent opponents had begun to rethink their opinion. Between Xia Fei and Chen Ziqiang, who was right?

Once more passing over the medicine, Xia Fei sternly said, "I'm sure you have also seen how I treated all the other terminally ill Flame Imp patients. Trusting me or trusting the so-called divine doctor, it's your choice."

That Flame Imp warrior hesitated. Everyone had seen Xia Fei's actions for themselves, and Chen Ziqiang also had a thunderous reputation. Who should he trust? This question left him in an enormous dilemma.

"A warrior must trust in his intuition and in his eyes. The ears are the most easily deceived," Xia Fei softly said.

"I trust Master Ah Fei!" a rather young but resolute voice rang out in the crowd.

Everyone looked up and saw the first patient Xia Fei had treated, the young Stuart. His mother was also in the crowd, looking gratefully at Xia Fei.

"I also trust Master Ah Fei!"

"It's Master Ah Fei who cured my illness. Of course, I trust in him!"

"If poison can cure illnesses, then I will drink this kind of poison every day!"

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Familiar faces appeared in the crowd to voice their support for Xia Fei.

These were all terminally ill patients that Xia Fei had cured, living case studies. Their words carried the most power.

Xia Fei smiled. "Everyone, I understand your kind intentions, but please go back. The divine doctor isn't to be offended."

Stuart firmly shook his head. "I don't recognize the divine doctor, and no matter how formidable he is, he didn't help clear the blockade in my brain. You saved me, so if I don't support you now, my father's ghost will never forgive me."

Everyone could not help but be moved by Stuart's stubbornness and sincerity.

The crowd fell silent as everyone looked at that thin and shriveled warrior. Once he drank the medicine, all the questions would be answered.

The warrior bitterly chuckled. "Stuart, your father was my closest comrade. If he were here to see this day, he would probably be very happy."

Stuart said nothing. After all the suffering he had endured, he clearly possessed a tenacity far above that of his peers.

"Was drinking that medicine very painful?"

Stuart nodded. "Master Ah Fei's medicines are very painful, but their effects are also very good."

"Mm, I understand."

In the end, he was a warrior. Once his mind was made up, he showed no hesitation. He raised his neck and drank down the medicine.

Silence!

Absolute silence!

This was the moment where victory and defeat would be decided, where everyone would see who was better: Xia Fei or Chen Ziqiang!

"Hu! Hu!"

The Flame Imp warrior panted for breath, his hand clenching over his heart and his expression twisting in savagery.

As a former warrior, he did not have as exaggerated a response as Stuart, but just by looking at his face and the constant stream of sweat trickling down his face, everyone could tell that he was clearly suffering from significant pain.

Several minutes later, something incredible began to happen!

His grayish-white face began to turn a healthy red, and his withered skin began to rejuvenate!

Success!

Xia Fei had succeeded! He had completely cured this warrior who was suffering from severe muscular degeneration!

*Thump!*

The warrior immediately dropped to his knees in front of Xia Fei, tears streaking down his face as he uncontrollably sobbed.

"Hurrah!"

"Long live, Master Ah Fei!"

"Master Ah Fei is the real divine doctor!"

The cheers resounded to the heavens.

...

No one knew how Divine Doctor Chen Ziqiang had departed, only that he had a pale complexion as he constantly mumbled, "Poison curing illness… Poison curing illness… Poison curing illness..."

As Divine Doctor Chen disappeared with his disciples, Chieftain Juen and Adviser Joey ran back to their tent.

Xia Fei's victory over Chen Ziqiang had made the two even more excited than the person himself.

"My king, this is wonderful news. Master Ah Fei did what Divine Doctor Chen could not. This means that he has an even higher cultivation than Divine Doctor Chen! Once we report this matter to the Guardian God, his venerable self will definitely be excited!" Joey rubbed his hands, joy on his face.

June firmly nodded. "I know, right? Divine Doctor Chen Ziqiang couldn't cure our Guardian God, but Ah Fei might. Those strange prescriptions of his aren't just talk. We have to report this as soon as we can. We'll be in trouble if those slobs from the other tribes get ahead of us."

Juen excitedly opened up the underground chamber and went inside to call Quinn.

Quinn was dazed by this news for several minutes. The mask he wore concealed his expression, but from his increasingly hurried breathing, it was easy to tell that Quinn was truly tempted!

As the saying went, when critically ill, one would turn to any doctor. Quinn had been troubled by the pain on his body and his seventh brain region, which verged on collapse for many years. Now that there was a chance that this illness could be completely cured, how could he not be excited?!

The events had proven that Xia Fei was an unfathomable apothecary. Quinn felt that he would never be able to forgive himself if he gave up on this opportunity!

The Phoenix Tail Stone moved according to his well, leaving behind a faint trail of sparks as it circled around Quinn.

"Bring Ah Fei to come and see me! At once!" Quinn excitedly ordered, his eyes exploding with light.
