Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Alright, let’s first join forces to drive those two off the stage!”

This Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master named Qi Feng clearly felt the threat from the two geniuses of Lianyun Mountain, so he agreed to Song Qiuchan’s proposal without much hesitation.

As soon as Qi Feng said this, everyone below was stunned, feeling that this year’s Meridian Refining Conference was truly too bizarre. These Poison Vein Masters, who were each other’s competitors, were actually going to join hands?

It should be known that in the previous Meridian Refining Conference’s Poison Vein competitions, the Heavenly Rank Poison Vein Masters were all the greatest enemies of each other, always on guard against one another. How could they easily join forces?

It is easy to say to join forces, but who can guarantee that when they are about to succeed against others, their own ”companion” won’t stab them in the back?

After all, this kind of alliance in such a situation is merely due to interests and is not reliable. Once the interests are achieved, they might turn against each other instantly, changing from allies to enemies.

But after the cultivators observing the event turned these thoughts in their minds, they all understood the reason behind Song Qiuchan and the others choosing to join forces at this moment. It was because that young man named Yun Xiao was too strange, and they did not have the confidence to secure a guaranteed victory.

Or perhaps the methods Yun Xiao displayed were too rare, such that neither Song Qiuchan nor Qi Feng or even Lu Tianwen dared to guarantee they wouldn’t fail miserably.

Firstly, joining forces to eliminate an unpredictable demon like Yun Xiao would allow everything to return to normal. Then, each of them would rely on their own skills to claim the championship of this Meridian Refining Conference’s Poison Vein Path, which undoubtedly increased their chances significantly.

As for the other genius from the Sky Poison Institute, Liu Hanyi, she was merely collateral in their battle against Yun Xiao, after all, they didn’t know much about this Poison Vein genius girl.

”Oh, these guys are really shameless, they’re going to join forces against us!”

Seeing the three on stage slowly move together, Liu Hanyi exclaimed loudly, causing the many onlookers below to involuntarily twitch their mouths.

Obviously, it was you and Yun Xiao who chose to join forces first, so why accuse others?

As a result, the five people on the stage were divided into two factions. In terms of numbers alone, Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi were undoubtedly at some disadvantage, not to mention Yun Xiao was already injured.

”How about leaving that old guy Qi Feng to you?”

Facing the alliance of the three major Poison Vein experts, Yun Xiao didn’t seem to mind much. He pointed to a certain aged figure, which was the Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, Qi Feng.

”I actually want to meet with that old guy from the Spirit Fighting Commerce!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Hanyi was somewhat displeased, but such an attitude clearly infuriated Qi Feng, as if to say, are you looking down on old Qi?

Swish!

The next moment, Qi Feng extended his right hand, and a flash of green light burst forth from his fingers, shooting towards Liu Hanyi at an extremely fast speed.

The Poison Meridian Skill competition, although quite different from meridian qi battles, did not prohibit dodging, which tests the poisoning skills of a Poison Vein Master.

At times, if you can imperceptibly apply the poison to the enemy, then the Poison Meridian competition is already half won.

However, with such a blatant toxic attack, everyone believed that Liu Hanyi would definitely dodge it. Therefore, many onlooker cultivators standing far away in line behind Liu Hanyi hurriedly cleared an area.

These onlookers seemed convinced that Liu Hanyi would dodge, believing that if the Heavenly Rank Poison landed on them, it would be a disaster with no tears left to cry.

”Huh?”

However, the next moment, many people gasped in surprise because they saw the talented girl from the Heavenly Poison Hospital not dodging at all. Instead, she extended her jade hand and calmly caught the green light in her hand.

Perhaps only Qingmu Wu, the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute seated in the northern seats, knew how formidable Liu Hanyi’s Immortal Poison Body was.

The Immortal Poison Body, containing the word ’Immortal,’ means no poison below the Immortal Rank can harm Liu Hanyi in the slightest. Unfortunately, the number of people aware of this fact in the field was very limited.

Qi Feng was naturally one of those unaware. Therefore, when he saw Liu Hanyi recklessly using her palm skin to touch the poison he spent years refining, he thought the battle would soon end.

At this moment, Qi Feng even started guarding against his two temporary companions beside him because he knew that Liu Hanyi would soon lose her ability to fight. The remaining Yun Xiao wouldn’t pose much of a threat, would he?

Qi Feng was a Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master. Even though his reputation wasn’t as prominent as Lu Tianwen and Song Qiuchan, the fact that he made it to the final five indicated that his Poison Meridian Skill was truly exceptional.

Furthermore, Qi Feng did not underestimate the genius girl from Lianyun Mountain at all, and the first thing he unleashed was his deadliest poison, with several variations prepared.

Qi Feng knew in his heart that when the opponent deployed poison, unless absolutely confident, they would not easily come into contact with it. The most likely action would be to dodge swiftly.

But who would have thought that the genius girl from Sky Poison Institute neither dodged nor avoided, and even reached out to grab the poison directly in her hand? This made Qi Feng both puzzled and amused.

Recently, the medical and poison prodigies from Lianyun Mountain were exalted across the continent, yet this Hanyi from the Sky Poison Institute did not match the rumors at all—she seemed like a foolish woman.

”Miss Hanyi, upon being hit by my ’Seven-Colored Centipede Poison,’ you’d best not suppress it forcefully; otherwise, if the poison attacks the heart, even I cannot guarantee I can provide an antidote!”

Feeling smug, Qi Feng spoke loudly with a hint of disdain in his eyes, his tone containing a touch of pride and a subtle threat.

”If you admit defeat now, I will give you the antidote, and there’s no need to harm our relations!”

Qi Feng was indeed very confident in his poison, believing that without his antidote, even the newly ascended Heaven Rank expert, the dean of the Sky Poison Institute, would be helpless against the so-called Seven-Colored Centipede Poison.

Qi Feng’s poison wasn’t just harvested from the Seven-Colored Centipede; it took years, combining with other special deadly poisons to refine. Heavenly Rank experts who died from this poison were not unheard of.

Qi Feng’s words showed that he did not want to completely offend Lianyun Mountain. If this little girl Liu Hanyi was sensible, he would indeed give the antidote.

Upon Qi Feng’s declaration, Song Qiuchan and Lu Tianwen on the side remained still, anxious to see the result. Would the famed Poison Meridian genius from Lianyun Mountain concede in this first confrontation?

Perhaps only Yun Xiao beside Liu Hanyi and a few others, including Qingmu Wu, found it amusing. They knew Liu Hanyi well enough to know that the Heavenly Rank Low Level Seven-Colored Centipede Poison could not harm her Immortal Poison Body.

”Haha, it seems your poison isn’t refined correctly; you might want to take it back and refine it again!”

Who would have thought that when everyone believed Liu Hanyi was in trouble, at the very least trying hard to dissolve the poison, they heard such a light laugh from her.

Swish!

As Liu Hanyi’s voice fell, she shook her right hand that had grabbed the Seven-Colored Centipede Poison. A beam of light swiftly shot back at Qi Feng.

Interestingly, the poison released from Qi Feng’s hand was green, yet when it flew back, it turned crimson; perhaps this is the meaning of the term ”Seven-Colored.”

”This is impossible!”

Seeing the Seven-Colored Centipede Poison that had touched Liu Hanyi’s skin being thrown back, Qi Feng’s expression turned somber, filled with incomprehension.

Qi Feng did not suspect Liu Hanyi of swapping the poison. He sensed clearly the breath of his own refined poison.

In his sensing, even though the Seven-Colored Centipede Poison’s color changed, it was undoubtedly his Seven-Colored Centipede Poison. But if there wasn’t any accident, why did the genius girl from Sky Poison Institute look completely unaffected?

With his sense confirming it was his Seven-Colored Centipede Poison, Qi Feng did not hesitate but reached out to grab the crimson glow.

It seemed Qi Feng wanted to retrieve the Seven-Colored Centipede Poison for careful examination, but why did this once-unrivaled Heavenly Rank Low Level poison fail today?

Yet, at the instant Qi Feng reached out, he missed seeing the hint of amusement in the eyes of the two geniuses from Lianyun Mountain.

Besides Liu Hanyi, perhaps only Yun Xiao, who was highly familiar with the Immortal Poison Body, could subtly sense a certain aura from the crimson glow.

The poison recognized as Seven-Colored Centipede Poison in Qi Feng’s sensing had, in fact, transformed in Liu Hanyi’s jade hand, into an Immortal Embryo Poison that few on the Tenglong Continent could resolve.

Liu Hanyi possessed the Abnormal Physique of Immortal Poison Body, naturally immune to myriad poisons. Perhaps only Little Dragon’s One Thought to Transform Myriad Poisons could put her in jeopardy.

Despite Qi Feng’s insanely potent Seven-Colored Centipede Poison, it was only formidable against ordinary Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Masters. Unfortunately, today he faced Liu Hanyi, a similarly unpredictable elite Poison Vein Demon.

Thus, as Qi Feng reached out to retrieve his poison, his fate was already sealed.
