As that figure appeared in a strange manner, all gazes in the sky instantly turned toward it. When they saw that the person was a rather captivating woman, they were all taken aback.
“Is she another guest invited by the Sect Master… I didn’t expect… that she would be a Battle Sect?”
The strong members of the Poison Sect were surprised to see the woman. No one expected her to be the one who had intervened earlier. After the shock, a sense of joy welled up from the depths of their hearts. Based on the previous shout of the Iron Law Guardian, it seemed that this person was also a Battle Sect. Moreover, the ability to twist space was something only a Battle Sect could accomplish, and this was very clear to the Battle Emperors present.
At this moment, the morale of the Poison Sect, which had plummeted due to the intervention of the Iron Law Guardian, suddenly soared. With two Battle Sects on the other side, and now they had two as well, they still held a significant advantage in this great battle.
The one who had made her move was naturally the Medusa, who had been hiding. Her enchanting and unforgettable appearance was now much more ordinary under the cover of the illusion beast hide. However, even so, the allure that radiated from her bones still made many people linger.
“Do you really intend to meddle in this matter?” The Iron Law Guardian’s gaze was cold as he scanned the Medusa. He felt a bit shaken inside. He could sense that this mysterious strong individual, whose origin was unknown, was not inferior in strength at all.
“He is my responsibility.” The Medusa glanced at the Iron Law Guardian indifferently and then clenched her hand, causing a long sword to appear. Concerned about exposing her identity, she did not use the serpentine long sword she once wielded in the great war among the four empires.
“Okay, be careful. I’ll help you after I deal with that guy,” Xiao Yan nodded, his malicious gaze glancing at Xie Shan, who was in a daze due to Medusa’s appearance, and said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let him escape. I know your goal is him,” Medusa’s face curved into a slight smile. Although her appearance was not as enchanting as it used to be, it still had its own charm.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, his sinister gaze swept over the Iron Law Guardian before he slowly retreated.
“Ha ha, such arrogance! Even if you are a Battle Sect, in the eyes of the Soul Temple, you are nothing. In the future, you may regret offending us today!”
The Iron Law Guardian sneered, his heart filled with anger due to Medusa’s disregard.
“Your Soul Temple folks always like to say meaningless words,” Plucking at her long sword, the clear ringing echoed, and Medusa raised her head to speak faintly to the Iron Law Guardian.
“You’ve encountered other Soul Temple members?” The Iron Law Guardian’s eyes flickered slightly, expressing surprise at the implication in Medusa’s words.
Medusa did not answer his question, and instead, the immense Dou Qi surged through her veins like a mountain flood. The space around her fluctuated visibly, and merely by the circulation of her internal Dou Qi, she could cause such changes in the outside world. Besides a Battle Sect, no one within the rank of Battle Emperor could do this.
Seeing Medusa fall silent again, the Iron Law Guardian’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. He then snorted, “Let me test you today and see if you have the right to be so arrogant!”
With a cold snort, he moved his fingers, and a crisp sound resonated through the sky. Following that, iron chains whizzed with a harsh screech, like an octopus’s tentacles, fiercely swinging towards Medusa.
Facing the formidable attack, Medusa’s expression remained unchanged. She jabbed the sword swiftly, hitting a specific point on the chain. The explosive power shattered the massive chain, and as she was no longer a Dou Wang or even a Battle Emperor, the Iron Law Guardian’s attack did not pose much of a threat to her.
Although it was just a preliminary clash, the intersection of the sword and chain already produced a deafening sound, and the surging energy ripples spread everywhere.
Seeing two more Battle Sects enter a fierce battle, the surrounding experts hurriedly retreated, for fear of getting caught in the crossfire, which would surely mean death.
High in the distant sky, Xie Biyan’s pleased look froze when Medusa appeared, especially when he saw that she could fight the Iron Law Guardian. His eye twitched fiercely, and after a moment, he turned to the Little Healer Immortal, his voice grim, “I didn’t expect you to have backup as well. No wonder you’re so reckless.”
“Likewise,” the Little Healer Immortal gave a faint smile, her grayish-purple eyes sweeping down, and she said mockingly, “It seems your Viper Sect’s wish to annex the Poison Sect will not come true today.”
“Hehe, you’re celebrating too soon. I’ve been cultivating for so long, and I refuse to believe that I can’t handle a junior like you,” Xie Biyan laughed angrily, then slammed his cane, tearing his robe apart.
Under the torn robe, a giant blood-colored scorpion tattoo appeared on his chest. This blood scorpion was like a living creature, exuding a vicious aura. Its ferocity seemed to surpass that of the four-winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion from before, and this was just a tattoo. If it were the real thing, it would be even more terrifying.
“Blood Demon Scorpion Emperor?” The Little Healer Immortal looked at the blood-colored tattoo, which seemed quite ordinary, and her brows furrowed. Then, her expression changed slightly.
“Hehe, not long after I advanced to the Battle Sect level, I had the fortune of encountering a severely injured Blood Demon Scorpion Emperor on the brink of breaking through. After exhausting all means to kill it, I integrated its flesh and sealed its soul within me. Over the years, I gradually assimilated it. Today, I’ll let you be the first to taste the power of my Viper Sect’s fully mastered ‘Blood Soul Decree’!”
Seeing the astonishment on the Little Healer Immortal’s face, Xie Biyan sneered.
With a sneer, Xie Biyan’s hand seal changed, and the blood scorpion tattoo on his body began to squirm, then burrowed into his body. As the tattoo entered his body, Xie Biyan’s frame ballooned, his hands distorted, and white bones pierced through his skin, forming two blood-colored giant pincers.
The transformation continued, and when it stopped, Xie Biyan had become a half-human, half-scorpion monster, covered in blood, with an overwhelming aura rising to the sky.
Looking gravely at the empowered Xie Biyan, the Little Healer Immortal could sense that he was now capable of matching a five-star Battle Sect.
“Poison Empress, today, I shall make you the first sacrifice of my fully mastered ‘Blood Soul Decree’!” pointing at her with the giant blood pincers, Xie Biyan’s face twisted with a sinister grin. Perhaps because of the technique, his voice became hoarse and shrill.
The sudden surge of violent, malevolent aura in the sky naturally caught the attention of the crowd below. As they looked up, and especially when they saw the half-transformed Xie Biyan, their expressions changed. The frightening aura that emerged from his body made all the Poison Sect members pale.
“That old man’s momentum is now close to that of a peak five-star Battle Sect, surpassing the Little Healer Immortal. Thus, she will find it hard to compete,” Xiao Yan, with his sharp soul perception, could sense the changes in Xie Biyan early and felt a weight in his heart. He didn’t expect Xie Biyan to have such a trump card.
“I must help the Little Healer Immortal; otherwise, the consequences will be dire…” Xiao Yan thought, and his figure moved abruptly. But as he shot upward, a figure blocked his path, and a cold laugh followed, “Stay put, kid.”
Seeing Xie Shan blocking his way, Xiao Yan’s eyes flickered with coldness. Without a word, he gripped his heavy ruler and rushed forward aggressively, his ferocious aura momentarily staggering Xie Shan.
In the midst of the entanglement between Xiao Yan and Xie Shan, Xie Biyan launched his attack, his figure flashing to appear in front of the Little Healer Immortal. He swung the blood pincers, aiming for her waist.
The Little Healer Immortal’s nails lengthened sharply, and she slashed at the pincers, creating blinding sparks. Yet, she didn’t inflict any real damage.
“Hehe…” Xie Biyan sneered, and the pincers twisted oddly, then clamped down fiercely. A metallic clang rang out, and the Little Healer Immortal’s hard nails snapped in half.
Suffering a hidden disadvantage, the Little Healer Immortal retreated hastily, looking somewhat disheveled.
“Brat, I’ll see how you can continue to be arrogant!” Xie Biyan gloated, having gained the upper hand in their first exchange.
Glancing at her broken nails, the Little Healer Immortal’s cold gaze slowly rose and settled on the grinning Xie Biyan. She extended a slender finger and placed it in her small mouth, biting down hard. Fresh blood flowed out.
She moved the blood-stained finger to her smooth forehead, tracing a line. In an instant, an unusual rune appeared on her forehead.
Seeing the Little Healer Immortal’s strange actions, Xie Biyan’s grin waned, and his brows knitted. He felt a subtle unease.
As the rune appeared, the Little Healer Immortal’s gray-purple eyes suddenly burst with an abnormal light. The left eye turned deep purple, and the right eye transformed into an eerie gray.
“You are the first person who can make me completely unleash the Calamity Poison Body. Dying at the hands of this technique should be enough honor for you…”
The Little Healer Immortal lifted her head slowly, her white hair moving without wind, and the bloody rune on her forehead emitted an eerie glow. Her voice, however, was emotionless, as if it came from the netherworld.
