"Not good!"

Just as Su Changqing was happy about breaking through, he looked up and saw Tian Buyi and Shui Yue being struck by the Poison God with a palm. Although both of them had also unleashed their sword techniques and hit the Poison God.

The Spirit Transformation realm was different from the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment realms, where the differences were not significant and battles could last a long time before a victor emerged. Battles in the Spirit Transformation realm were often decided in an instant or within a few minutes.

Tian Buyi and Shui Yue pulled away, each spitting out a mouthful of black, poisonous blood. Their faces were pale, clearly indicating they were not feeling well after being struck by the poison palm.

The Poison God was also struck by two sword energies simultaneously. His dark green clothes were tattered, and several bloody marks appeared on his aged body.

He took out a dark green worm from his embrace, crushed it with his hand, and smeared its flesh and blood onto the wounds. New flesh and blood grew visibly, healing him.

Tian Buyi and Shui Yue felt nauseous seeing such a disgusting and bizarre operation.

However, they also knew this was the Poison God's ability. He had long cultivated a body impervious to all poisons, not only able to kill people with poison but also to recover himself with it.

In contrast, the two of them were now poisoned, their strength greatly weakened. If they continued to fight, they would only be exhausted by the Poison God.

But with things having reached this point, the Poison God would never stop and let the two of them leave. They could only hope that the Sect Leader Senior Brother had received the news and would rush here to rescue them, otherwise the outcome was unimaginable.

"Hmph hmph! I can recover my strength with poison, while you have already been heavily poisoned. I want to see what else you have to fight me with."

As the Poison God spoke, he was about to strike Tian Buyi and Shui Yue with another palm.

But then, a sword energy swept towards him from behind, traversing heaven and earth. Deep within the sword energy was a killing intent, and the wind instantly began to rage.

The Poison God's formation was disrupted by this sudden sword energy. He was startled and thought they had reinforcements, so he turned around to defend against the fierce sword energy with his spiritual energy.

However, he discovered that this fierce sword energy was as fragile as paper, and it caused him no harm when it landed on him.

"Who! You're seeking death!"

He was momentarily stunned, and when he came to his senses, his anger surged.

This was no expert; it was clearly the sword energy wielded by a mere trash from the lower three realms. Although the sword energy possessed immense power, it couldn't affect him, a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation realm, at all.

Tian Buyi and Shui Yue were overjoyed.

Without needing any signal, they understood each other and, taking advantage of the Poison God's momentary distraction, jointly unleashed their sword energies.

The golden dragon sword energy transformed into a soaring golden dragon, its roar more imposing than the previous golden dragon sword energy. It was clearly Tian Buyi's ultimate sword strike, unleashed with all his remaining strength.

The blue sword energy shimmered with blue light, transforming into a surging river, seeming to engulf everything in its torrent.

The two sword energies rapidly struck towards the Poison God. By the time the Poison God reacted and hastily erected a poison energy barrier to defend himself, it was still too late. He was directly sent flying hundreds of meters by the combined force of the two sword energies before he could stabilize himself. As he stood up again, he was swaying precariously, with no part of him intact, his entire body covered in black blood.

It was clear he had been severely injured by the two sword energies.

Seeing this, Tian Buyi and Shui Yue felt a bit relieved. After being injured by the two of them, the Poison God's condition was even worse than theirs, and he was no longer capable of fighting.

"This infuriates me! You hypocrites who call yourselves righteous, you joined forces to fight me, and yet you had someone sneak attack me from the side, giving you an opening to injure me!"

"I have noted this matter, and I will not let it go!"

The Poison God wiped the blackness from the corner of his mouth, filled with extreme rage. Gritting his teeth, he said fiercely to Tian Buyi and Shui Yue.

Then, he looked in the direction from which the fierce sword energy had come. However, with clouds covering the sky, he had no energy to investigate. He could only curse at the unseen attacker, "Shameless scoundrel, you ambushed me today and caused me this calamity. I will find you one day and fight you to the death!"

Su Changqing naturally heard these words, but he didn't care at all.

Fight me to the death?

Find me first!

After uttering these words, the Poison God flew away into the distance. He was already severely injured, and this place was very close to the Qingyun Sect. If he didn't leave now, he would be waiting for more experts from the Qingyun Sect to capture him.

Seeing the Poison God flee first, Tian Buyi and Shui Yue sighed.

Finally, the dust had settled!

Su Changqing, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He turned and left the area without a trace with the little flood dragon. He still wanted to live a leisurely life for now and didn't want to reveal his identity to Tian Buyi and Shui Yue. Seeing that his master and Uncle Tian were safe, he felt relieved.

As for what they would think, it was none of his business.

After the two of them left, shortly thereafter, several figures were seen rushing over in the sky. It was the Qingyun Sect Leader Dao Xuan and the other Peak Lords.

Dao Xuan looked at the severely injured Tian Buyi and Shui Yue. Without speaking, he walked over to check on them and used his spiritual energy to help them expel the toxins. However, their internal and external injuries would require recuperation back at the sect.

"What happened?"

Cang Song stepped forward with a frown and asked them.

Tian Buyi sighed helplessly and recounted the entire incident to everyone, detailing their battle with the Poison God.

When they heard that a sword energy with great power but no harm to the Spirit Transformation realm had suddenly appeared from the clouds, causing the Poison God to be distracted, everyone was somewhat surprised.

What was going on?

Did they have an expert on site, but who was this person? And why didn't they show themselves?

This expert had helped the Qingyun Sect immensely today, and the Qingyun Sect was a major sect, with countless cultivators eager to befriend them. Did this person not wish to befriend the Qingyun Sect?

The Peak Lords quickly used their spiritual energy to investigate, but as far as they could probe, there were no clues about this person. It seemed they had left after completing their task.

"Stop investigating. Since this Daoist friend chose not to reveal himself after doing this, it means he doesn't wish to reveal his identity. No matter how we investigate, we won't be able to find him. Why disturb his peace and freedom?"

"If we are fated, we will meet him again someday."

Dao Xuan sighed softly. Although he was also curious about this good Samaritan who did good deeds without leaving his name, he had a faint feeling that this person must have a great connection with the Qingyun Sect.

Perhaps he would know who this person was soon enough.

The urgent matter was to resolve the Nine Yin Mountain incident, and there were still disciples waiting below.

Then, Dao Xuan and the Peak Lords led the injured Tian Buyi and Shui Yue to where the Qingyun Sect disciples were. The members of the Demonic Cult present had also received the news and had all fled. Some disciples who had been knocked unconscious by the Poison God on the spot had also been killed by them before they left.

It was difficult to capture any Demonic Cult members alive for questioning.
