"Are you alright?"

Reacting quickly, Medusa flashed to Lin Feng's side, her slender hands moving anxiously over his body as her voice—rarely heard in such a tone—carried a hint of panic.

She had sensed that the strange black beam just now was laced with terrifying Dou Qi.

Although Lin Feng's combat power was already on par with a Dou Zong, his actual Dou Qi realm was still only Dou Huang.

To be struck by such a high-level Dou Qi attack—there was no way the outcome could be good.

Seeing Lin Feng struck by the Demon Poison Spot, the Xiao Yixian's expression changed drastically. She immediately yanked open Lin Feng's robes with a swift pull.

There, on his chest, the sinister black spot with its spreading black tendrils came into view for all three of them.

Upon seeing the mark, the Xiao Yixian bit down on her silver teeth and growled, "Just as I thought—Demon Poison Spot! That old bastard was ruthless!"

"Demon Poison Spot? What's that?" Hearing this, Medusa quickly asked.

"It's a vicious poison technique from the Chu Yun Empire, used by those who cultivate poison-type Dou Qi. The user condenses all their poisonous Dou Qi into a black spot and fires it at the enemy.

If struck, the target's meridians will rapidly decay, and they'll suffer excruciating pain before slowly dying. But once this technique is used, the user's entire life's Dou Qi will be spent—essentially turning them into a cripple."

"And how do we remove it?"

Upon hearing the Xiao Yixian's explanation, Medusa's expression grew grim and terrifying.

The space around her began to ripple and distort violently.

"Jie jie jie... Unless you can find someone who's an entire major realm above me to forcibly dispel the Demon Poison Spot from that boy's body... otherwise, he's dead for sure."

After spewing out that black beam, Xie Bi Yan had aged dramatically in the blink of an eye.

Wrinkles gathered across his face like deep trenches.

Although he now looked decrepit, the hatred and cold laughter in those cloudy eyes only intensified.

The more the two women cared about that boy, the more satisfied he became.

However, feeling the terrifying killing intent emanating from the two of them, Xie Bi Yan knew he couldn't linger—so he quickly drew a dagger and stabbed it into his own heart.

Bright red blood sprayed from his chest, and his aged body collapsed to the ground headfirst.

"He killed himself? That old bastard got off too easy!" Hearing the sound, the two women shifted their gazes from Lin Feng's black spot to the corpse on the ground and cursed through gritted teeth.

"I'm fine. Don't wear yourselves out with anger—especially you, Sasha."

Seeing both their eyes burning red with rage, Lin Feng gently held one of their hands each and consoled them, "This Demon Poison Spot carries the old bastard's life's worth of Dou Qi. To me, it's deadly—but it's also an opportunity. As long as I can break through to Dou Zong, I'm confident I can refine it."

He knew that if Flame Mantra could devour another Heavenly Flame, it could also dispel the Demon Poison Spot.

But he kept this hidden—he feared the Xiao Yixian might try to forcibly extract the Ghostly Poison Flame from herself to give to him.

"That's all we can do, then... I can't remove the Demon Poison Spot, but I can at least slow its spread significantly."

The Xiao Yixian frowned deeply, her voice filled with helplessness.

However, when she noticed the odd looks from the people below—who were staring curiously at the three of them—she quickly pulled her hand out of Lin Feng's and said in a small voice, "I'll go deal with the remnants of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate first."

With that, she immediately darted toward the ruined sect grounds of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.

At this moment, Medusa also let out a sigh of relief.

If the Xiao Yixian could delay the effects, then as long as Lin Feng revived Tian Huo Zun Zhe, the latter could help remove the Demon Poison Spot.

Lin Feng also let go of Medusa's hand, and with a few flashes of his figure, appeared beside Xie Bi Yan's corpse.

A wisp of Fallen Heart Flame split from within him, transforming into a fiery chain that pierced straight through Xie Bi Yan's body.

Then, as if it had locked onto something, the chain began retracting back.

However, above the corpse, a phantom-like figure pierced through the chest by a flaming chain slowly appeared.

Its appearance was exactly the same as Xie Bi Yan's.

Seeing this Dou Zong-level soul, Lin Feng smirked. Then he took out a jade bottle and sealed the soul inside.

After that, he circulated his Dou Qi and absorbed the corpse from the ground into his hand.

Lifting the body by the collar, Lin Feng stripped the storage ring from Xie Bi Yan's finger.

After all, that Blood Soul Art—which could refine the flesh of magical beasts and merge souls—still piqued his interest somewhat.

Gazing at the corpse in his hand, he asked the snowy-white ring, "Elder Yao, are you interested in this old guy's body?"

"Eh? No thanks. I've got no interest. I don't even know what face I'll end up with after being resurrected. This guy's way too ugly. Plus, he cultivates poison-type Dou Qi—his body reeks of toxins. I can't stand it."

Looking at the deep ravines of wrinkles on Xie Bi Yan's face, Tian Huo Zun Zhe replied with distaste.

"Well, can't say I didn't remind you. The higher the quality of the body used in the secret technique, the stronger your cultivation will be after resurrection."

Seeing that the old man had no interest, Lin Feng casually stored the corpse in his ring while dropping the reminder.

"I still prefer Yan Luotian's body. At least he wasn't ugly."

Tian Huo Zun Zhe shook his head resolutely.

"Alright then."

With that, Lin Feng's figure flashed and retreated to the rear.

The effect of Skyfire Three Mysterious Change was about to wear off. Once it did, he'd enter a weakened state, so it was better to retreat early.

At this moment, in the midst of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's remaining forces, the situation was turning one-sided.

With the Xiao Yixian and Medusa joining the assault, the sect-protecting array was instantly shattered.

The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, which had been tangled with Zi Yan for quite some time, was swiftly slain by Medusa.

Under the siege of numerous powerful fighters, the once-mighty Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, which had once terrorized the Jia Ma Empire, was thoroughly erased from the face of the earth.

A Few Days Later – Heavenly Poison City, Headquarters of the Poison Sect

Deep within the Poison Sect's headquarters lay a lush stone mountain covered in vibrant greenery.

This mountain was the Poison Sect's forbidden area, a place where only the Xiao Yixian could enter under normal circumstances.

Within the stone mountain, jagged rocks jutted in all directions, and vast fields of poisonous herbs were artificially cultivated.

A faint toxic odor wafted from the vegetation, lingering over the mountain and forming a thin, toxic miasma.

At the heart of the stone forest was a small pool paved with black stones. Around it stood four statues shaped like the heads of venomous snakes.

The snakes' mouths were wide open, and from their flicking tongues, streams of pitch-black liquid continuously dripped into the pool.

The water inside was an inky black, so dark it was impossible to see the bottom.

Even spiritual perception would be repelled when trying to probe it.

A thin mist hovered above the pool, carrying a slightly metallic stench—clearly a highly toxic vapor.

At this moment, around the stone pool stood three women—two tall, one petite.

Their eyes were all fixed intently on the youth lying naked in the pool.

After a long silence, the Xiao Yixian seemed to think of something. A charming blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

She glanced at the two women beside her, then bit her lip and softly said, "Why don't you both wait outside for a bit? I need a quiet environment to help seal the Demon Poison Spot on Lin Feng."
