"Young girl, don't let your youthful arrogance blind you. When I roamed the Chu Yun Empire in my prime, your mother was still nursing in your grandmother's arms. Your Woeful Poison Body may be powerful, but this old man is not made of clay!"

Xie Bi Yan's cloudy gaze swept over Xiao Yixian. His voice carried a sinister edge as he continued, "The Chu Yun Empire has only two major sects left. And now, your entire Poison Sect has walked right into my territory. Perfect—I'll take this chance to wipe you all out in one fell swoop."

"You think I'd be afraid just because you have the Hall of Souls behind you? Today, I'll be the one to send you to your grave!"

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yixian's eyes. With a turn of her jade-like hand, five severed heads suddenly appeared in her grasp.

Throwing them toward Xie Bi Yan, she said icily, "Before you die, let me return these five mutts' heads to your Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate."

"You actually killed Wu Ya and the others?! What a vicious little girl… So young, yet so ruthless!"

Catching the heads and staring at the familiar faces, Xie Bi Yan's face sank. His voice turned grim and venomous.

Even with the foundation of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, losing five Dou Huang experts at once was a severe blow.

Not to mention, one among them had been a peak Dou Huang.

Although they still had six Dou Huang-level fighters left, five of them had relied on secret techniques from Protector Tie just a few days ago to forcibly raise their strength.

Compared to Wu Ya and the others, who had climbed the ranks through their own effort, their actual combat ability was clearly inferior.

In contrast, the Poison Sect only had four Dou Huang-level fighters at the moment, but all were genuine elites, far superior to those enhanced by forbidden techniques.

Moreover, rumor had it the Poison Sect had also brought in external reinforcements.

In this light, the advantage once held by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate had already vanished.

But when Xie Bi Yan thought of the Soul Envoys sent by the Hall of Souls, his heart eased somewhat. With a cold glint in his eyes, he sneered, "Our last clash ended in haste with no clear winner. Today, let this old man see what gives you the courage to think you can dominate the Chu Yun Empire!"

With that, a cold light flashed across Xie Bi Yan's eyes. He slammed his cane heavily against the air, and his previously hunched back slowly straightened.

As his spine straightened, an aura even stronger than Xiao Yixian's erupted, spreading outward with crushing force.

Xiao Yixian's face remained icy cold. She didn't bother with further words. Her slender hand curled slightly.

Suddenly, the temperature in the surrounding sky skyrocketed, and torrents of dark green flame erupted wildly from her body.

"Heavenly Flame?!"

Seeing the surging, dark green flame radiating intense heat, a flicker of fear crossed Xie Bi Yan's eyes.

After all, such heaven-and-earth spiritual objects were natural nemeses to those who relied on poison.

But Xiao Yixian ignored his reaction. Once she summoned the Ghostly Poison Flame, she lightly waved her hand, sending waves of ink-green flame flooding toward Xie Bi Yan like a tsunami.

Xie Bi Yan's eyes were frosty as he stared at the incoming heavenly flame. His withered hand suddenly clenched the cane tightly—and then he shot forward like lightning.

He moved so fast that multiple phantom images trailed behind him in the air.

Before countless watching eyes, the two Dou Zong experts collided in midair like shooting stars.

The terrifying energy shockwave from their clash caused the very air to tremble violently.

As Xiao Yixian and Xie Bi Yan instantly became entangled in fierce combat, Xie Shan's eyes flashed coldly. Glaring at the Poison Sect's experts opposite him, he raised his hand and shouted,"All members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate—kill!"

Following Xie Shan's command, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's cultivators roared in unison, their Dou Qi surging like erupting geysers.

Streaks of light, carrying the foul stench of poison, charged toward the Poison Sect's formation like bolts of lightning!

In response to the massive counterattack, the Poison Sect's fighters also let out angry war cries.

Their figures flickered, clashing violently with the oncoming enemy forces.

As the chaotic battle erupted, the sky grew noisy and explosive sounds boomed without end. Colorful streaks of Dou Qi streaked across the heavens in all directions like blades of light.

On the ground, the Poison Sect army below the Dou Wang level also launched a charge toward the mountain stronghold held by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.

The full-scale battle had begun.

Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate naturally wouldn't sit around and wait for death. They too charged with full force toward the Poison Sect army.

In an instant, the entire Myriad Scorpion Mountain Range erupted with the sounds of fierce battle echoing into the sky.

According to the privately discussed plan between Lin Feng's group of four and Xiao Yixian, Lin Feng and Zi Yan would be responsible for eliminating the opposing Dou Wang and Dou Huang experts first.

Medusa would be in charge of holding off Protector Tie.

As for Yun Shan, he and Xiao Yixian would jointly attack Xie Bi Yan.

Therefore, once the battle began, Yun Shan immediately did his best to suppress his presence and darted toward Xie Bi Yan.

"Wind Execution — Annihilating Gale!"

Within moments of arriving in the forest near the two opponents' battlefield, Yun Shan swiftly channeled the surging wind-type Dou Qi within his body and gathered it above his head.

In just an instant, it condensed into a massive azure longsword several meters wide.

As Yun Shan's hand seals changed, the longsword spun violently and shot forward, tearing through the air as it charged toward Xie Bi Yan.

"You're… Yun Shan!"

Recognizing the wind-based Dou Technique, Xie Bi Yan's eyes flickered slightly as memories surfaced—he immediately recalled the identity of this old rival.

Faced with the sudden assault from a Two-Star Dou Zong, Xie Bi Yan didn't dare take it lightly. He stomped his cane on the ground in haste.

A foul, poisonous light burst forth from the mouth of the scorpion head on his cane, shooting out to intercept the fast-approaching azure longsword.

Boom!

As the two energies collided in midair, a violent explosion erupted. Xie Bi Yan let out a muffled groan as he was forced back several steps under the impact of Yun Shan's Dou Technique.

"Hmph! I didn't expect you, old bastard, to actually cooperate with the Heavenly Poison Woman and meddle in the affairs of my Chu Yun Empire."

Glaring at Yun Shan, who had appeared in the sky in the distance, Xie Bi Yan snorted coldly, his gaze turning increasingly sinister.

Although the Heavenly Poison Woman was only a Three-Star Dou Zong, the strange Heavenly Flame in her possession could devour a significant portion of his poison attacks—making her an extremely troublesome opponent.

Now, with the addition of another Two-Star Dou Zong, he, a Four-Star Dou Zong, was instead the one at a disadvantage.

"Heh, back in the day, you people from the Chu Yun Empire frequently launched attacks against my Jia Ma Empire. With such a good opportunity today, how could this old man not come to deliver a gift?"

Yun Shan let out a chuckle, and then without pause, launched another attack toward Xie Bi Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian's dark green flames surged violently around her, and together with Yun Shan, she charged toward Xie Bi Yan.

At the same time, Lin Feng was in the midst of suppressing an elder from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate who had just advanced to Dou Huang.

Due to Lin Feng's exceptionally condensed Dou Qi and his cultivation as a Four-Star Dou Huang—

Even without using any advanced techniques, relying solely on several Black Class Dou Techniques he had learned in his early days—

He was able to completely overpower this One-Star Dou Huang, whose Dou Qi was extremely unstable, leaving the man utterly defenseless!

After exchanging several more blows, Lin Feng noticed a fatal opening.

Before the enemy could react, Lin Feng had already flashed forward, arriving right in front of him. His right index finger, glowing with golden light, pierced straight through the man's heart.

Under the combined destructive force of his piercing power and the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame, the light of life in the Dou Huang's eyes swiftly faded.

At the same time, the Dou Huang's soul was forcibly extracted by Lin Feng.

Encasing it in his Dou Qi, Lin Feng took out a jade bottle and sealed the soul within it before storing it back into his spatial ring.
