Cleverness Backfires

"Hmph, this place is closest to my Five Poisons Valley. Since you're looking to die, I'll grant your wish!" The Valley Master of the Five Poisons Valley narrowed her eyes as she gazed at the increasingly massive tornado. Poisonous gas surged from her body with even greater ferocity. The ground beneath her spatial domain withered and blackened rapidly. In a short while, everything within five hundred meters below her was devoid of life.

"Such terrifying poison!" Hun Han commented truthfully, continuing to savor his sunflower seeds.

The woman in the plain dress was no less formidable. Wherever the storm passed, the ground was torn into a vast expanse of bare earth. Demonic beasts in the surrounding forests fled towards the distance in droves.

"Hmph!" A dismissive snort escaped the lips of the Five Poisons Valley Master. Immediately, she formed hand seals, and the surging Poison Dou Qi coalesced into a colossal purple hand, several zhang tall, which shot forward.

When the two colossal entities collided, a deafening roar echoed through the sky, like a thunderclap on a clear day.

Following that, the storm and the poison hand violently clashed, each unleashing its terrifying energy. Gale-force winds of level seven or eight swept through the surroundings, kicking up sand and stones within a thousand-meter radius.

After approximately several minutes, the energy from both sides was finally depleted. The storm and the poison hand dissipated, and the two women remained suspended in mid-air, unharmed. Their cultivation levels were indeed on par.

With a flap of her green wings, the woman in the plain dress moved like lightning, instantly appearing behind the Five Poisons Valley Master. The tip of the strange longsword in her hand formed a rapidly spinning wind blade.

"Heh, a sneak attack?" The Five Poisons Valley Master's lips curved slightly. Her hands quickly formed hand seals, and behind her, purple Poison Dou Qi condensed into a shield.

Clang, clang, clang

All the wind blades were completely blocked by a purple shield, six to seven meters high. Then, with a soft shout, the Five Poisons Valley Master's hands, which were forming seals, suddenly changed.

Five Poisons Prison Realm

The Poison Dou Qi erupted from the Five Poisons Valley Master, permeating the surroundings. Shortly after, within a radius of ten zhang around her, the space emanated a faint purple hue. This not only forced the woman in the plain dress back but also contaminated the ambient energy of this space, making the woman in the plain dress hesitant to approach within ten zhang of her.

The battle in the sky continued from morning until afternoon. Noticing that Fighters were gradually being drawn to the area, the Five Poisons Valley Master's eyes sharpened, and she spoke with some impatience, "Since you refuse to see reason, don't blame me!"

With that, purple Poison Dou Qi erupted from the Five Poisons Valley Master like a volcanic eruption, shooting straight into the sky. It then condensed into a layer of gray clouds. Immediately, countless dark gray drops of highly poisonous rain began to fall from the sky. Strangely, as they descended to a certain distance, they quietly dissipated, transforming into wisps of poisonous gas that rose and drilled back into the gray clouds, only to transform into raindrops and pour down again. This cycle repeated endlessly.

As for the woman in the plain dress, Dou Qi formed a Dou Qi Barrier around her, isolating her from the highly poisonous raindrops. However, even so, the situation was far from optimistic. Under the erosion of the poisonous rain, the Dou Qi on the woman in the plain dress was being rapidly depleted.

"Hmph, take another move from me!" The Five Poisons Valley Master's heart rejoiced. She formed hand seals, and the purple poisonous gas this time condensed into two colossal Poison Dou Qi giant hands, one in front and one behind, seemingly intending to tear the woman in the plain dress apart.

"Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill!"

Just as the giant hands were about to tear the woman in the plain dress apart, the strange longsword in her hand trembled violently, and a tiny sword qi, only the size of a thumb, shot out instantly.

"Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill!"

Hun Han could no longer sit still. His eyes widened in shock, and he blurted out, "She's a disciple of the Yun Lan Sect!"

Hun Han hadn't forgotten that the leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang, Yun Jian, was a disciple of the Yun Lan Sect.

The powerful sword qi shattered one of the gray hands and continued its momentum towards the Five Poisons Valley Master. However, she narrowly dodged it by subtly shifting her body, thus avoiding being killed. Nevertheless, one of her arms was cleanly severed.

As for the woman in the plain dress, she was not faring any better. Her back had been heavily wounded by a purple giant hand, and crimson blood could be seen staining her clothes.

With a flap of her wings, the woman in the plain dress randomly chose a direction and fled at high speed.

"Search for her! You must find her!" The Five Poisons Valley Master clutched her severed arm, her purple pupils bloodshot. Her voice, filled with boundless killing intent, roared ferociously. The Poison Masters lurking on the ground scrambled frantically.

"Not good, she's in danger!"

Hun Han's brow furrowed, and his heart sank. He hesitated.

To save or not to save?

This was the Black Corner Region; there was no room for sympathy or pity. However, the other party was a disciple of the Yun Lan Sect. Especially since she wielded that Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill.

Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill was a supreme skill of the Yun Lan Sect. The number of Fighters qualified to master this Fighting Skill was countable on one hand within the sect. Moreover, she possessed the Heart of the Sea Armor, so Hun Han had already guessed her identity with high certainty!

"Since we met by fate, I should save her!"

Hun Han made up his mind. He casually tossed aside the sunflower seeds he hadn't finished eating, did not use the Lightning Bat Sky Wings, and ignored the peanuts and other items on the rock. He stomped his foot and, like a monkey, darted into the forest.

Weaving through the forest, Hun Han stopped as he searched. He arrived beside a waterfall, wiped the sweat from his brow, and sat on a rock by the river.

"It seems I have no fate with her!" Hun Han muttered to himself. The direction he chose for his search was not the direction the woman in the plain dress had fled, but the opposite direction.

The reason for this was that Hun Han believed if it were him, he would definitely choose to escape in the opposite direction of where he entered the forest. Now, it seemed Hun Han's cleverness had backfired!

"Oh well, if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be! With my God's Eye perspective, am I afraid of not having another chance to meet her again in the future?" A smug arc formed on Hun Han's lips.

Knowing the story of Battle Through the Heavens was like having a God's Eye perspective. Approximately twelve years later, this woman in the plain dress would appear in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. At that time... hehehe...

Hun Han chuckled wickedly as he thought about it.

"My strength is stable now. It's time to leave the Black Corner Region."

Hun Han stood up and was about to embark on a new journey when he froze. His eyes caught sight of the woman in the plain dress floating on the river surface!
