Exception II

"Blue Scorpion is absolutely right, you are excellent material. You will help me Further Progress refine my Three Gods Qi!" The woman nodded slightly, her hands constantly kneading his chest.

Like inspecting freshly washed pork. The fingers are picky and icy cold.

Knock knock knock.

Suddenly there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Sect Leader, Sect Leader, something terrible has happened!"

"What is it?! I told you not to bother me!" The Silver Masked Woman turned around angrily and shouted.

"Toad Hall! It's Toad Hall!! They're all wiped out!!!" The disciples outside cried out in a sobbing voice.

"Total annihilation!?" Xu Mengyan was stunned.

Although Toad Hall is the weakest branch, and Toad Matriarch only has Internal Method cultivation, her poisonous body is second only to Centipede Grandfather among the five branches.

"Useless!!" Xu Mengyan's anger surged. "I've raised her for so long, and she can't even handle this little thing! What use is she?!"

"Who is it?!" She lifted her hand off Ding Yu, walked to the wall, took down the purple and gold-trimmed robe hanging there, and draped it over her shoulders.

"The man identified himself as Zhang Rongfang and said he was looking for one of his missing subordinates, a man Ding Yu!"

"Hmm?" Xu Mengyan's gaze immediately fell on Ding Yu on the stone bed.

"Who is he?" she asked coldly.

"Zhang Rongfang, Zhang Rongfang. It's Daozi!! It must be Daozi!! You're all doomed! Hahahaha!!" The moment Ding Yu heard the name, he trembled, tears welled up in his tiger-like eyes, wetting his cheeks.

His voice trembled, filled with unparalleled joy.

"Daozi has come to save me!! You have no idea of his power. You're all doomed!! You're all doomed!!"

"The only way to survive now is to put me down and all of you go out and kneel down to beg for mercy! That might give you a sliver of hope! Otherwise..."

While shedding tears, Ding Yu became incoherent with joy.

"You bunch of vile women!! Daozi will be here soon! I knew he would come back! You're all dead! You're all dead! Hahahaha!!" Ding Yu cried and laughed at the same time.

The self-esteem that had been enslaved for so long finally rebounded and erupted at this moment.

It almost caused him to lose control of his emotions.

With a click, the stone door opened, and Lan Siyi, Serpent Elder, Centipede Grandfather, and Spider Elder all filed in.

Seeing Ding Yu almost going insane, everyone frowned.

"Sect Leader, how about using this person to threaten that powerful enemy? Since the other party is willing to come in for Ding Yu, they must be someone of importance to them." Serpent Elder, also known as Snake Woman, looked at Ding Yu with displeasure and said coldly.

"A threat!?" Xu Mengyan suddenly turned her gaze, staring at the Snake Woman. "What? You think I'm inferior to that person!?"

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!" The Snake Woman trembled and quickly lowered her head.

"I, Xu Mengyan, am born with the body of a Poison Queen, unmatched by anyone! Sooner or later I will reach the pinnacle of the Great Ling Realm! You want me to use hostages to threaten a little bug that I can crush with a single slap!?" Xu Mengyan said arrogantly.

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate knows her mistake!" The Snake Woman's face gradually paled. She sensed something was wrong.

"Go and kill that person outside," Xu Mengyan said in a deep voice. "All of you, together!"

"Yes!"

Lan Siyi and the others responded in unison. No one was afraid, and no one backed down.

They feared the backlash from the Heavenly River Water more than death.

"Either he dies, or you all die! The Five Cauldrons Sect has no use for useless trash!"

Xu Mengyan waved her hand and said sternly.

"Yes!!"

The four immediately bowed their heads and quickly left the Stone Chamber.

Xu Mengyan turned to look at Ding Yu, who was staring in disbelief.

"You seem to be in good spirits. If that Daozi manages to get here alive, he will be qualified to become my first key figure in rebuilding the Five Cauldrons Sect."

"You're absolutely insane!?" Ding Yu had never seen anyone so arrogant.

"Crazy?" Xu Mengyan narrowed her eyes. "No, I'm just too strong."

She began practicing poison at the age of five, Entering the Ranks at ten, and entered the Ninth Grade at fifteen.

At Three Voids, he reached the Super Grade of cultivation; at twenty-six, he became a Grandmaster. His talent is unparalleled! He possesses the Absolute Yin Poison Emperor Body recorded in ancient texts, the most coveted top-tier talent among all poison masters! Now, he has further evolved the Absolute Yin Poison Emperor Body into the even stronger Grand Yin Blazing Body!

They also concocted a terrifying poison that even the Worship God Spirit General could not resist— the Three Gods Qi.

At this point, no one in the world could rival him.

"Come on, let's continue our test." Xu Mengyan walked towards Ding Yu again. "I hate stagnation. Moving forward every single second is the norm for me, Xu Mengyan!"

Ding Yu was speechless.

Boom!!!

Just then, a deafening explosion came from the Stone Hall outside.

The stone gate trembled, and stone dust fell from above in a flurry.

A cacophony of screams and cries faintly drifted in from afar, penetrating the walls.

Xu Mengyan's hands did not tremble at all. She picked up a tube of blue liquid containing Little Black insect eggs, flicked it lightly with her finger, and walked towards Ding Yu.

Puff.

Puff.

Puff.

Suddenly, from the Stone Hall outside, a faint sound of footsteps grew clearer as it approached.

"Hey, did you hear that? There's a noise outside!?" Ding Yu swallowed hard, his scalp tingling as he watched the approaching liquid insect eggs.

Xu Mengyan's gaze remained unchanged as she reached out to feel his pulse on his forearm. It was as if the sounds outside didn't exist.

"With the previous World Yang Liquid, plus this tube of Seven Stars Leaf Insect Eggs, we should be able to complete the first step of physical conditioning."

She muttered to herself, as if she were considering or calculating something.

Pick up the medicine tube, inject it into the large syringe, and then squeeze out the gas.

Xu Mengyan gently aimed at the spot where Ding Yu's veins were clearly visible and inserted the needle.

Hiss.

The sound of the stone door behind them being opened came from behind.

Without any notification from his subordinates, there was only silence outside.

Xu Mengyan narrowed her eyes, stopped what she was doing, and turned around.

Outside the stone gate, a burly figure that almost filled the entire doorway stood in front of it.

The figure was shirtless, covered in countless pieces of blood and flesh, and even his hair was stained dark red with blood.

"It seems I've arrived just in time."

Zhang Rongfang reached out and brushed his blood-red hair back from his forehead, revealing a chilling smile.

Ding Yu burst into tears.

He opened his mouth wide and cried out.

"Big!!"

Boom!!

A loud bang was heard in the Stone Chamber in an instant.

Zhang Rongfang and Xu Mengyan disappeared from their spot at the same time, colliding and exerting force.

The two men faced each other with their fists clashing, without dodging or deflecting the force; it was simply a pure clash of violence.

Xu Mengyan's flesh and blood rapidly expanded, twisted, and grew larger, her skin developed purple patterns, and her eyes were subtly elongated, making her look like a fox.

In an instant, she grew from over 1.8 meters tall to 2.5 meters tall. Her skin gleamed with a metallic sheen in the firelight.

Boom! A few seconds later, a loud bang rang out, Xu Mengyan was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the stone wall and creating a deep crater.

The rubble exploded and rolled all over the ground.

She quickly stood up and exhaled a heavy, foul-smelling breath.

"Such immense strength and incredible physique!! This kind of test subject... it's exactly what I've always dreamed of."

Whoosh! Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Rongfang's figure appeared before her eyes again as if he had teleported.

A downward Elbow Strike.

Bang!

Xu Mengyan roared and raised her arms to block.

Boom!!

Her feet suddenly sank, cracking the ground beneath her feet.

His knees were making a faint cracking sound as he was about to kneel down.

"You want me to kneel down?! Who do you think you are?!" Her face flushed, and pustules of varying sizes quickly appeared on her body.

His body suddenly seemed to have grown a size larger.

Limit State: Thousand Senses, Ten Thousand Illusions! Two powerful techniques from the Ten Thousand Devouring Heart Sutra erupted simultaneously within her body.

The combined force of these two Limit State states actually managed to lift Zhang Rongfang's arm off the ground.

Even Zhang Rongfang showed a slight look of surprise.

"Your strength is not lacking."

Even the three great Worship God Grandmaster back then, when they joined forces, only reached this level. This is already quite impressive for a mere branch of the Sensing Gate Sect.

It should be noted that the Thousand Stone Sect is also a branch, but Zuo Han himself is at most equivalent to one and a half of the three Worship God Grandmaster Sect back then.

So it seems this woman's physical strength is actually stronger than Old Zuo's!

"You think you can beat me?!" Xu Mengyan propped herself up. The mask on her face was finally smashed in the fierce battle, scattering all over the ground.

Beneath the mask lies a stunningly beautiful face with a cold and sharp edge.

"That was merely a test using my weakest point. Now, I'll show you the true power of my Ten Thousand Devouring Heart Sutra!!"

Puff puff puff!

In an instant, pustules all over her body burst open, splattering out dark yellow liquid.

Zhang Rongfang suddenly retreated, his figure flashing, and tore off a piece of stone door and slammed it forward.

Bang! Just as Xu Mengyan was about to laugh wildly, she was slapped hard by the huge stone slab.

With a loud crash, she was sent flying and slammed into the left wall of the Stone Hall again. Silence immediately followed.

Zhang Rongfang ultimately couldn't avoid all the venom. Some of it got onto his right arm, corroding the skin and emitting acrid black smoke.

As the venom corroded his red flesh, almost exposing it, the wound quickly began to heal itself as if it were alive.

Five seconds later, Zhang Rongfang lowered his hand, and everything returned to normal.

"A good amount of poison," he said solemnly. "But it's far from enough to defeat me."

He walked step by step toward the other person's location.

"The difference between you and me is like the difference between the bright moon and the morning star."

With a whoosh, Xu Mengyan emerged from the pile of stones.

Her entire body swelled up again, her face became swollen, and she had completely lost her previous beauty. Her upper body was covered with a blackish-purple hard shell resembling that of a crocodile.

"Morning Star? Arrogant!!" She collapsed three times in a row!!

Unforgivable!!! Unforgivable!!!

The anger in Xu Mengyan's heart was like a volcano about to erupt, accumulating wildly.

"I am destined to sweep across the Great Ling and ascend to the supreme position of the strongest!!! No one can defeat me! No one!!!"

She suddenly let out a wild roar.

"Final Form! Grand Yin Blazing Body!!"

Amidst the sounds of flesh writhing and blood, pale purple Poison Mist was released around Xu Mengyan.

Her figure became taller and longer.

The swelling all over her body subsided rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed from a spherical, purplish-black fat man into Strange Man woman with long hair reaching her waist, a curvaceous figure, and purplish-black cracks that looked like wounds.

On both sides of its mouth, two additional rows of densely packed tiny holes have grown out, like countless tiny eyes, which are constantly opening and closing and wriggling with each breath.

"Kill!!"

Once again, Xu Mengyan took a step forward.

The speed and power are the same as before.

But... bang.

Zhang Rongfang raised his hand to block the other's palm, but was shocked to feel a burning pain in his palm.
