High above the distant sky, within a colossal gray-purple spatial cage, an unusual fluctuation suddenly appeared. The space-distorting barrier surrounding it rippled, and in just a moment, the distorted curvature diminished, and eventually, the warped space slowly and completely restored itself.
As the spatial barrier disappeared, the gray-purple toxic mist that had filled the area began to spread uncontrollably. Seeing this, Xiao Yan and his companions’ expressions changed slightly. Even from such a great distance, the gray-purple toxic mist gave them a peculiar feeling. If it were allowed to spread freely, all living beings on this mountain peak would surely perish in the toxic fumes.
Just as Xiao Yan and his companions prepared to retreat hastily, the expanding gray-purple toxic mist abruptly solidified, and then, as if pulled by a fierce suction force from its center, the surrounding poisonous fog was rapidly sucked back.
The retraction of the gray-purple toxic mist was extremely fast. In just a few blinks, the toxic fumes completely retracted, and with the dispersion of the toxic fog, the two figures that had been hidden within it finally came into full view.
In the distant sky, Little Healer Immortal floated in the air, her deep purple and gray eyes radiating a slight glow, looking especially eerie. Her body was covered in bloodstains, and even her arm bore a gruesome wound several inches long.
Opposite her, the Scorpion Elder Bieyan was in a similarly wretched state, his body drenched in blood. Bloody gashes crisscrossed his body, creating a macabre tableau. One of his giant blood-red pincers had snapped, and blood dripped from the broken end, accentuating his already pale, savage face.
Judging from their injuries, the battle that had taken place within the gray-purple toxic space must have been far more intense and brutal than the one between Medusa and the Iron Guardian.
“However, from the aura of both parties, it seems that the Scorpion Elder Bieyan is the one most severely injured.”
The appearance of the two immediately stopped all the fighting below, and countless gazes focused on them. Now that the mysterious Iron Guardian had fallen into Xiao Yan’s hands, the Scorpion Sect could only rely on the old Scorpion Elder Bieyan.
“Old Scorpion, it seems your Blood Soul Decree isn’t as powerful as I thought,” Little Healer Immortal said, raising her hand and lightly flicking a drop of blood into her mouth before shooting a glance at the opposing Scorpion Elder Bieyan, her voice tinged with coldness.
“He merely relies on the power of the Disaster Poison Body. What’s there to be proud of? Without the Disaster Poison Body, his talent and current age would not allow him to even converse with me!” the Scorpion Elder Bieyan spat, grinding his teeth. He had not anticipated that fully unleashing the Disaster Poison Body could unleash such terrifying power, even surpassing his perfected Blood Soul Decree.
Little Healer Immortal glanced at him indifferently. Winners write history, and only losers make excuses. While she relied on the Disaster Poison Body for her strength, it had also cost her greatly.
“But you should not be too pleased. Each time the Disaster Poison Body erupts, it brings it closer to complete loss of control. From the looks of it, you won’t last much longer. When that happens, someone will take care of you!” the Scorpion Elder Bieyan sneered.
“Let’s finish him off. No more empty talk,” a laugh came from below, and three figures dashed over, appearing beside Little Healer Immortal. It was Xiao Yan, Zi Yan, and Medusa.
Seeing Medusa, both Little Healer Immortal and the Scorpion Elder Bieyan were startled. The former’s eyes, which were a mix of gray and purple, showed a hint of joy, while the latter’s face became unusually ugly.
“Did you deal with that guy?” sensing the complete disappearance of the Iron Guardian’s aura, Little Healer Immortal asked, her face lighting up.
“Yes.” Medusa nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on the Scorpion Elder Bieyan. “It seems you couldn’t handle him. Do you need my help?”
“The poison blood of the Disaster Poison Body has already been infused into his system. Today, he will surely die,” Little Healer Immortal shook her head, her voice calm, not wanting to fall behind Medusa.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan also paused, looking at the Scorpion Elder Bieyan. Indeed, he noticed something strange about the old man’s complexion. His clenched jaw suggested he was trying his best to expel the so-called Disaster Poison Blood from his body.
“Ha, I never expected that guy to end up like this… Heh, but you guys are really bold, daring to lay a hand on him. Regardless of where you come from, you’ll never find peace in the future!” the Scorpion Elder Bieyan first looked shocked, then laughed cruelly.
“Not just him, your Scorpion Sect’s leader, Scorpion Mountain, met the same fate today,” Xiao Yan shrugged, smiling.
At these words, the Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s aged face trembled, and he glared at Xiao Yan with vengeful eyes, hissing, “Was it you?”
Xiao Yan nodded indifferently, unfazed by the old man’s vengeful gaze.
Seeing Xiao Yan nod, the Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s vengefulness intensified, but before he could respond, Little Healer Immortal, impatient, waved her hand and formed a seal.
As she formed the seal, the Disaster Poison Blood in the Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s body exploded, turning into countless threads that invaded his bloodstream.
When the Disaster Poison Blood merged with the Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s blood, his body shuddered violently, and his skin turned gray and purple, a rather disturbing sight.
Biting his teeth, the Scorpion Elder Bieyan desperately activated his inner Dou Qi, but the poison blood had already invaded his bloodstream, circulating through his entire body, tainting every part of him.
If he had been in peak condition, he might have been able to expel the poison blood. However, after a grueling battle with Little Healer Immortal, his Dou Qi was severely depleted, making it difficult to push out the poison blood.
As the invasion of the Disaster Poison Blood increased, the Scorpion Elder Bieyan started coughing violently. With each cough, blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth, soaking his clothes.
“Old Scorpion, with your current strength, you can’t resist the Disaster Poison Blood… So, farewell,” Little Healer Immortal said coldly, watching the bleeding old man.
“Ha, the Disaster Poison Body is truly terrifying. Today, I have truly experienced it,” the Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s eyes were fixed on Little Healer Immortal, his voice becoming increasingly chilling as blood continued to flow from his mouth.
The entire sky fell silent, and everyone could see that the Scorpion Elder Bieyan was on his last legs. Should he fall, the entire Scorpion Sect would lose its final pillar.
“Heh, I may not escape today, but if you want me dead, you will pay with blood,” lifting his face, the Scorpion Elder Bieyan grinned viciously at Xiao Yan and company, then slammed his staff hard into the air. Instantly, his body began to boil, and blood bubbles emerged on his skin, filled with surging blood. The sight was horrifying, sending chills down the spines of those who saw it.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Little Healer Immortal were alarmed.
“Be careful, he’s going to self-detonate!” Medusa shouted, her face serious.
A self-detonation by a Battle Sect was incredibly devastating.
Just as Medusa spoke, the Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s blood bubbles grew larger. As his body swelled to the limit, there was a sudden, sharp sound!
As the sound rang out, Xiao Yan and the others started to retreat quickly, but the Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s body strangely shrank again. The expected self-detonation did not occur. Instead, he grinned maliciously, and the blood bubbles burst, his mouth bulging, his head tilting back.
With a sudden burst, a black beam, no larger than a thumb, shot out from his mouth with a speed that could almost penetrate space. It appeared hundreds of meters away, right in front of Little Healer Immortal and the others, giving them no time to dodge.
Caught off guard by the Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s sudden attack, Little Healer Immortal and Medusa were forced to activate their Dou Qi defenses, forming a strong barrier around them. Just as they set up their defenses, the black ray veered sharply and shot towards Xiao Yan instead.
The Scorpion Elder Bieyan’s target was not Little Healer Immortal—it was Xiao Yan!
