Magic Beast Mountain Range, Medicine Valley.
Xiao Yi Xian sat cross-legged on a cliff, eyes closed in meditation. Her hands formed seals, and her three thousand strands of snow-white hair drifted with the wind. As her skirt fluttered, a faint purple glow pulsed across her skin, surrounded by swirling purple mist. She looked as ethereal as a fairy, yet she harbored a toxicity that no ordinary person could touch.
Gu Shenge stood behind Xiao Yi Xian, feeling a sense of emotion as he looked at the girl who was a completely different person from two months ago.
Under the supply of his Poison Pill, the Woeful Poison Body of Xiao Yi Xian had fully awakened. Her black hair had turned white, and her cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds over the past two months, breaking through from a 9th-stage Dou Disciple to a Dou Shi. Her progress was truly rapid.
It was no wonder that in the original story, she could reach the level of a Dou Ancestor within six or seven years. As long as she was provided with enough poison that she could withstand, she could achieve feats in a short time that ordinary people could never reach in a lifetime.
After a long while, Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her beautiful eyes, a flash of dark purple light flickering within them. Feeling her stabilized cultivation, a smile appeared on her delicate face, which held a hint of eerie charm amidst its softness.
Seeing her open her eyes, Gu Shenge spoke from behind her: "Congratulations, you are now a powerful Dou Shi."
Xiao Yi Xian stood up, waved her hand to brush the dust off her white dress, and turned to thank him with a smile.
"This is all thanks to your help during this time, Mr. Juan."
Although there was some pain when she first started taking the poison, as the Woeful Poison Body fully awakened, the poison had become nothing more than food, and there was no more pain to speak of.
Gu Shenge instructed Xiao Yi Xian: "Don't mention it. In your current state, the toxins accumulated in your body won't affect you yet. However, if you feel any discomfort, you can tell me. Although I cannot help you condense a Poison Pill right now, sealing the poison gas in your body is no problem."
Over these two months, he had spent 50,000 Origin Points to purchase the "Heavenly Capital Fire Seal," a sealing technique created by Venerable Tianhuo, from the [System Store]. He had mastered it, so if Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body were to erupt prematurely, he could use the Heavenly Capital Fire Seal to suppress it, buying her another three years of time.
"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian nodded.
Suddenly, Gu Shenge looked toward the east, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
He saw intense energy fluctuations surging in the eastern sky, one after another. The clouds were torn apart, and the sky was stained in dual shades of purple and blue, looking truly miraculous.
"Xiao Yi Xian, you go back first. I'm going to see what's happening over there."
After giving his instructions, Gu Shenge spread his golden Dou Qi wings and flew toward the east.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian also left the cliff and returned to Medicine Valley along the path she had come from.
High in the distant sky, two beams of light radiating powerful auras constantly collided and clashed. The resulting powerful energy fluctuations rocked the heavens, and from time to time, violent roars erupted like muffled thunder on a clear day. The clouds in the sky rolled and dissipated, revealing a clear, cloudless expanse.
Gu Shenge sat atop a beautiful mountain peak, using his Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to watch the great battle in real-time.
"This kid is here too."
Gu Shenge noticed Xiao Yan, who was currently hiding behind a giant rock, watching the battle between Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King with a look of horror.
With Xiao Yan's fragile physique, if he were hit by the aftermath of a battle between two Dou Emperors, he would definitely be severely injured.
Out of his promise to Yao Lao, Gu Shenge transformed into a golden sword light and flew toward Xiao Yan's location.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, hiding behind the giant rock, watched the battle between Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky, his face full of shock. The mere shockwaves of their clash made him feel a terrifying pressure. He gulped, feeling extremely afraid.
"Is this the battle between Dou Emperor powerhouses? It's too terrifying!"
Xiao Yan felt like a lonely boat in the waves, at any moment likely to be crushed by the terrifying aftermath of the battle. He had already prepared himself to run away.
"Little Yanzi."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, scaring Xiao Yan so much that he immediately pulled the Heavy Profound Ruler from his back and swung it violently behind him. It was heavy as a thousand jun, carrying gusts of wind; even a Dou Shi would have lost their life on the spot if they had been hit by such a blow.
Seeing the Heavy Profound Ruler sweeping toward him, Gu Shenge merely raised his hand and caught the thousand-jun weapon directly. He stood as immovable as a mountain, without the slightest shift. No matter how much strength Xiao Yan used, he could not make the Heavy Profound Ruler move an inch forward or backward.
When he saw Gu Shenge's face clearly, Xiao Yan's initial vigilance turned into joy, and he loosened his grip on the Heavy Profound Ruler.
"Brother Juan, why are you here?"
"Two Dou Emperor-level powerhouses are fighting in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. I happened to be watching and noticed you. You really don't fear death, daring to stay here."
After Gu Shenge finished speaking, he let go of the Heavy Profound Ruler and gave it a light toss. It landed perfectly and lightly on Xiao Yan's back.
Xiao Yan: "I was planning to go back after their battle ended."
Hearing this, Gu Shenge reached out and grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulder, saying with a smile:
"No need, I'll take you back now."
With that, without waiting for Xiao Yan to react, he flew him straight back to Qingshan Town.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Gu Shenge brought Xiao Yan back to Qingshan Town.
As soon as he landed, Xiao Yan felt a bit dizzy, even having the urge to vomit. He seemed to be a bit motion-sick from flying; Gu Shenge's speed was too fast, several times faster than when he used his Purple Cloud Wings.
"Brother Juan, be slower next time~"
After recovering for a while, Xiao Yan just started to speak, but saw a flash of golden light before his eyes. Gu Shenge had already disappeared from in front of him, leaving Xiao Yan with a look of astonishment. What was this all about?
On the other side.
The battle in the Magic Beast Mountain Range had lasted for most of the day without a winner. Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King only had the cultivation of a Tier 6 low-level beast, its physical strength was not inferior, and it was even stronger than Yun Yun, who was a 3-star Dou Emperor.
As time passed and Yun Yun's Dou Qi was consumed, her initial advantage was gradually leveled out by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's powerful physique.
Watching the two figures in a stalemate, Gu Shenge, who had returned, watched with great interest. After all, watching women fight was much more interesting, and that surging power was not at all weaker than Medusa!
As the battle dragged on and the sky gradually darkened, Gu Shenge understood that it was about time for it to end.
High in the distant sky, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flapped its wings, purple flames soaring to the heavens. It roared and bellowed, radiating a terrifying aura. It raised its extremely sharp beast claws and, carrying brilliant purple flames, swung violently at Yun Yun, intending to smash her proud, delicate body into pulp!
"Wind Pushing Momentum!"
Facing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's overwhelming physical assault, Yun Yun furrowed her delicate brows. Gripping her strange cyan longsword, she wove her hands together to form a profound wind seal, causing the Dou Qi within her body to erupt and manifest as a swirling, whistling tornado over ten zhang tall, barely managing to block the Amethyst Winged Lion King's powerful strike.
As time passed, Yun Yun felt her internal Dou Qi beginning to run low; if things continued this way, it was highly likely that she would be the one to lose.
Flapping the cyan Dou Qi wings on her back, Yun Yun transformed into a streak of cyan light and streaked across the sky, dodging the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attack. She turned and fled without the slightest hesitation, while her jade-like hands continuously formed seals, gathering massive amounts of Dou Qi into her sword blade.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King clearly did not notice this; seeing Yun Yun flee, how could it possibly let her go?
"ROAR!! Human woman, die!"
Sensing that the sun was about to set and night was falling, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had no intention of fighting a war of attrition. Once the sky darkened, its strength would plummet, so it could not afford to delay any longer.
