Such a young child could devise such a meticulous and ruthless chain of schemes, luring an old veteran like himself into a trap from which he nearly couldn’t recover. This person’s cunning was utterly out of sync with his age and experience—could he truly be a prodigy, a reincarnated genius?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought and rethought, and the more he pondered, the more terrified he became, sweat pouring down his entire body. WM.com\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this setback, Master Mo’s wariness toward Han Li intensified further; he faced Han Li with extreme caution, unable to dare launch another sudden attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Han Li, for reasons unknown, merely glared at Master Mo, showing no intention to attack; the two sides fell into a sudden stalemate, staring silently at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, in the awkward silence, Han Li suddenly spoke a single sentence—one that left Master Mo dumbfounded, frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Mo, let’s make peace. Or better yet, I surrender. What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Han Li flung his weapon to the floor with a casual motion, revealing a row of bright white teeth as he smiled warmly at Master Mo—utterly the innocent, rustic boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surrender?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Master Mo thought his ears had betrayed him—he must have misheard. But he quickly recovered, glancing at the iron cone Han Li had discarded, and scoffed bitterly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What trick are you playing? Don’t think I’ll believe your nonsense. If you wanted to surrender, you could’ve done it from the start—why wait until we’re nearly dead before pulling this stunt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li smiled silently at Master Mo, seemingly accepting his accusations; the two fell once more into a tense standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while, Master Mo seemed to recall something absurdly funny—he suddenly bent forward, clutching his abdomen with both hands, bursting into loud, unrestrained laughter, tears spilling from the corners of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Ha! Hah! It’s… it’s hilarious—I actually forgot such an important thing! I actually went toe-to-toe with you… with you, face-to-face in open combat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li frowned slightly, then relaxed his expression, indifferent. He glanced out the window, the smile on his lips deepening, and spoke calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Mo, don’t you think we’ve wasted enough time? It’s time to end this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Mo froze mid-laugh, his mirth abruptly cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly straightened, his face hardening into an expressionless mask as he stared at Han Li. After a long pause, he replied coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree. It’s time to end it all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, both men felt certain, confident of victory—as if in an instant, each had found the final card to force the other into submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence stretched. Then Han Li spoke first, slowly, his confidence absolute—he believed his revelation would force Master Mo to retreat, to abandon all other thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Mo, do you know your life is now in my hands?” Han Li’s first words stunned the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My life is in your hands?” Master Mo sneered, his face brimming with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you feel something strange about your wound?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense—I examined your short sword closely, and it clearly had no…” Master Mo retorted, but halfway through, his face turned ashen—he remembered now: it wasn’t the short sword that wounded him, but the hidden spike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems I don’t need to explain further—Master Mo, you already understand my meaning,” Han Li grinned at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even so, what of it? Don’t forget—you learned all your poison arts from me. What poison could I not antidote?” Master Mo’s face regained its composure, calm and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I forgot to mention—the blade I used was coated with ‘Chang Xiang Si’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chang Xiang Si?” Master Mo gasped softly, clearly caught utterly off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. Master Mo, surely you know how deadly this poison is,” Han Li drawled, teasingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lies! How could you possibly have brewed this poison? I never revealed even a single detail of its formula!” Master Mo still clung to his denial, refusing to believe Han Li—yet the strange sensation from his wound had already confirmed it in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Master Mo still refused to yield, Han Li sighed and explained at length.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t forget—your medical texts were fully open to me. This formula was hidden within a rare herbal book. Had I not studied them carefully, I might have missed it entirely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Mo suddenly recalled: when he first obtained this formula, overwhelmed by the sheer number of ingredients and the complexity of the process, he’d feared forgetting it, so he’d meticulously copied the method and required herbs onto a slip of paper, tucked it casually into a book, and later, with so many other events occurring, he’d completely forgotten the slip—never imagining it would now benefit Han Li and bring him such dire trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s sit down and discuss this properly—let’s make peace,” Han Li said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Mo snorted, ignoring Han Li, his mind racing to recall the method and effects of “Chang Xiang Si.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name “Chang Xiang Si” sounded harmless—even evocative, conjuring images of romance and allure. But its poison was like the unrelenting longing of a lovelorn woman—seeping into the bones, unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang.com\u003C\u002Fp>",887,"2026-06-20T21:12:45.940Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8b5ea08a0c143b6a637073c7bdc9ba903da46b6ebc93abdb5d57901379a16bb8","a-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-chapter-51","a-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-chapter-49",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-cover.jpg"]
