Under Xiao Yan's investigation, the poison in Lian'er's body had already spread throughout her entire body. The powerful poison was almost tangible, and even with his Heavenly Flames, he was unable to dispel it easily!
Lian'er's condition was far worse than he had imagined!
"How could this be? Not only has the poison invaded the vortex, but it has also become stronger by leveraging this girl's own Dou Qi! How could this happen!"
"Laugh!"
Just as Xiao Yan sensed something was wrong, the poison within Lian'er's body suddenly coalesced, forcibly devouring the Heavenly Flames that Xiao Yan had injected into Lian'er's body. It even seeped into Xiao Yan's body along their palms, causing Xiao Yan to immediately release his grip on Lian'er's hand. At the same time, he quickly grabbed his left wrist with his other hand, and a fierce Heavenly Flames surged up, burning away the poison that had invaded his palm.
"Damn it! How could this happen!"
Xiao Yan never expected that this poison would actually attack his Heavenly Flames on its own initiative, and the power was so strong that he found it difficult to cope.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan suddenly forced back, Bai Hua and Zhou Tai couldn't help but change their expressions. They immediately turned their attention to Xiao Yan, raising their internal Origin Qi in preparation for any eventuality.
However, Xiao Yan, who seemed lost in thought at the moment, was focusing all his attention on Lian'er in front of him, or more precisely, on the terrifying poison within her body. He had no time to pay attention to the two people beside him whose expressions had suddenly changed.
"Puff!"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan made his move again. With a soft "poof," a pale blue flame suddenly rose from the palm of his right hand. The intense heat instantly incinerated the nearby poisonous mist, and even the temperature in the dark room increased significantly at that moment.
Looking at the flames rising in Xiao Yan's palm, Zhou Tai's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now that the flames were bursting with power, he noticed that Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames seemed to be quite different from what he had seen before.
Whether in terms of aura, power, or the domineering nature of the flames, it seemed to be no longer the same as what he had seen before. Even the color had changed drastically, as if the entire Heavenly Flames had undergone some kind of transformation.
"What has this kid been through all these years?"
He thought to himself, and then Xiao Yan controlled the pale blue flame in his palm, palm down, and slowly approached Lian'er's smooth forehead lying on the ice bed.
"Buzz!"
The moment Xiao Yan's palm touched Lian'er's forehead, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably. At the same time, a ring of purplish-black poison gas swept outwards from Lian'er's body.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
However, immediately afterward, the four flames that were suspended at the four corners of the ice bed suddenly released a dazzling light at the same time that the poisonous gas swept through. The intense heat instantly intertwined from the four corners, and the pale blue flames transformed into a huge fire net, which burned away the poisonous gas that was spreading outward.
"What a domineering Woeful Poison Body! If it weren't for Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames having a natural restraining effect, suppressing it wouldn't be so easy!"
Sensing the potent poison, Zhou Tai's expression subtly changed. His gaze swept over the ice bed shrouded in firelight, lingering on Lian'er's delicate body before he turned to Bai Hua with a questioning look:
What is he trying to do?
The flames didn't look like any kind of formation; they had no suppressive effect whatsoever. At most, they could only block the poison gas released from Lian'er's body. But what did that prove?
"To expel toxins."
With his eyes half-closed, Bai Hua slowly swept his gaze over Lian'er lying on the ice bed in front of him. A look of hope welled up in Bai Hua's eyes. He believed that with Xiao Yan's help, Lian'er would definitely be able to wake up!
When Zhou Tai heard Bai Hua's words, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on his old face. The Woeful Poison Body was an innate constitution, which was already incurable. So how could there be any talk of using Heavenly Flames to expel the poison?
However, although Zhou Tai was reluctant to admit it, seeing the solemn expression on Xiao Yan's face gradually calmed him down. He understood that Xiao Yan would never do anything without being sure of success. Besides, hadn't Xiao Yan been constantly challenging his understanding of the world? Perhaps it was time for Zhou Tai to change his outdated ideas.
"Buzzing..."
Lian'er's delicate body was still trembling violently and uncontrollably. Terrifyingly poisonous gas was gushing out of her body, especially on her exquisite and pretty face, where the concentrated poison had turned her entire face into a hazy black.
Her delicate lips, now a deep purplish-black, parted uncontrollably, emitting a hoarse, strange cry. The poisonous energy frantically coalesced, transforming into a black venomous snake that lunged at Xiao Yan's hand imprinted on Lian'er's forehead.
"This thing actually has self-awareness!"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. He then gritted his teeth, and the pale blue flames instantly became even more ferocious. As they rapidly spread, they seemed to transform into a raging fiery lion, fiercely tearing at the poisonous energy.
"Destroy them!"
Soon, the flames completely enveloped Lian'er's delicate body. The Heavenly Flames rose, and the high temperature it released completely dispelled the surrounding poisonous fog. The firelight almost filled the entire dark room. In a short while, the poisonous fog that had filled the dark room was completely dissipated, and the strange smell in the air gradually disappeared. It was as if a breath of life had been added to the room.
"Bang!"
After a brief encounter, Xiao Yan crushed the black venomous snake, and raging flames surged forth like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, completely refining the poisonous energy.
Even so, Xiao Yan's anxiety did not ease. This poison had developed its own consciousness, something he had never seen before. If he was not careful, it could cause considerable harm to Lian'er, which was something he did not want to see.
When Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames was injected into Lian'er's body again, the previous scene repeated itself. The poison seemed to have become even more ferocious in Lian'er's body. She was not afraid of Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames at all, and even under the repeated impacts, Xiao Yan was quite uncomfortable. After a long while, the Heavenly Flames still failed to remove the poison from Lian'er's body in the slightest, which made Xiao Yan frown.
If he forcibly expelled it, Xiao Yan worried that it would harm Lian'er's body. However, if he let it continue like this, he would definitely not be able to get rid of the poison. This put Xiao Yan in a dilemma.
