"Haha… Gold and Silver Elders, looks like you two are having a hard time. Let me 'help' you."
Just as the Gold and Silver Elders were reaching their limits, Su Qian's teasing laughter rang out behind them. In the next instant, a fierce torrent of Dou Qi roared forward like a crashing wave.
As the Great Elder of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy, Su Qian had no intention of honoring fairness in battle at a time like this. These invaders had come with the intent to overturn Jia Nan Academy. Mercy was not an option.
"Su Qian, you dare—!"
Sensing the terrifying Dou Qi surging toward their backs, the Gold and Silver Elders' eyes nearly split from rage. At this moment, their hearts were filled with frustration and regret.
Ordinarily, when fighting together, even Dou Zong powerhouses were not enough to make them nervous.
But now—
They were being besieged by two Dou Zongs at once.
And one of them was launching a sneak attack.
How were they supposed to block that?
Before their words even finished, Su Qian's Dou Qi torrent struck squarely against their backs.
Crack!
Their protective Dou Qi shattered instantly. The sound of bones breaking echoed sharply in the air. Both men vomited large mouthfuls of blood as their bodies were blasted forward, completely losing their ability to resist. Driven by the force of the attack, they were sent crashing straight into the massive deep-purple hand conjured by the Little Fairy Doctor.
"Ahhh—!"
A miserable scream tore through the sky.
The moment they entered the enormous purple hand, it clenched shut without mercy. Thick poison mist and viscous toxic liquid engulfed them instantly. Their remaining Dou Qi was corroded away in the blink of an eye.
Their flesh began dissolving at a visible rate, skin melting, muscles rotting away—
Until only stark white bones remained.
Even those did not last long.
Within seconds, the two peak Dou Huang powerhouses—figures comparable to Dou Zong when working together—were reduced to a pair of crimson puddles mixed with gray-purple poison, dripping down toward the ground.
Everyone who witnessed the scene froze.
Including Su Qian himself.
A collective sharp intake of breath rippled through the battlefield.
This—
Was the terror of the Woeful Poison Body.
To instantly reduce two peak Dou Huangs into nothing but toxic blood…
It was simply horrifying.
"Ah! The Gold and Silver Elders are dead! Han Feng is defeated! Run—run!"
With the three strongest among them either dead or defeated, the confidence of the Black-Corner Region experts collapsed instantly.
The Blood Sect, Eight Gates, Earth Flame Sect—none of them retained their earlier composure.
They scattered in all directions like frightened birds.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Xiao Se was about to descend into the magma world to refine the Fallen Heart Flame and Sea Heart Flame. The dangers ahead were immense. Knowing she would not be able to assist him down there, the Little Fairy Doctor had no intention of letting any of these Black-Corner Region experts escape.
At this moment, she seemed to return to her days in the Chu Yun Empire—the two years she had spent as a poison master.
Merciless.
Cold.
She began a one-sided slaughter.
"Ah—it's poison!"
"Run! Sect Master Fan, save me—!"
Screams echoed across the sky.
Purple poison clouds surged like living creatures, sweeping across fleeing figures. Those who touched it barely had time to scream before their bodies dissolved.
—
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield—
Xiao Se had already pulled Han Feng from the smoking crater.
With one hand, he gripped Han Feng's neck tightly. With the other, he removed the Youhai Storage Ring from Han Feng's finger and stored it in his system inventory.
"Han Feng," Xiao Se said softly, lips curling into a mocking smile. "I told you. Everything you have will eventually become mine."
At the same time, he transmitted a command through his soul toward the Fallen Heart Flame still sealed within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Break the seal again.
Han Feng, barely clinging to life, turned his head weakly. He saw the Gold and Silver Elders reduced to blood. He saw the Black-Corner Region experts being massacred by the Little Fairy Doctor.
He coughed violently, another mouthful of blood spilling from his lips.
"Heh… I never imagined that I, Han Feng, who ruled the Black-Corner Region for half my life… would fall to a brat like you."
His voice trembled—but his eyes were still vicious.
"But don't celebrate too soon. Even if I die today… I'll drag you down with me!"
As his words ended—
His body began to swell.
His muscles bulged. His veins pulsed violently.
He was going to self-destruct.
"Planning to blow yourself up?" Xiao Se sneered. "You've got some backbone. But did you think I wouldn't anticipate that?"
From Xiao Se's back, the Evil God Hook suddenly shot out like a streak of black lightning, piercing straight into Han Feng's chest.
In an instant—
Han Feng's swelling body deflated like a punctured balloon.
The violent Dou Qi he had been gathering scattered uselessly into the air.
"How… how is this possible? Who… who are you?!"
For the first time, true fear filled Han Feng's eyes.
He had prepared a final contingency.
If he self-destructed, his soul would escape in the chaos. He would contact Mu Gu of the Soul Hall and exchange the Sea Heart Flame for a chance at rebirth.
The cost would be heavy—
But he would live.
And eventually return for revenge.
But now—
The hook extending from Xiao Se's back seemed to have pierced not just his body—but his soul itself.
His life force and soul energy were draining rapidly.
Even self-destruction was no longer possible.
"I already told you," Xiao Se replied lightly. "When you're dead, I'll tell you."
At the same time, he called out in his heart—
"Come out… Fallen Heart Flame."
The moment the thought was sent—
The Fallen Heart Flame, no longer guarded, erupted violently once more.
The tower ceiling shattered.
A colossal invisible fire python, dozens of meters long, burst forth and lunged toward the nearest targets—
Xiao Se and Han Feng.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Fallen Heart Flame, a sinister smile flickered across Han Feng's blood-covered face.
He knew he would not survive.
But before dying—
He would drag this enemy to hell with him.
"Die with me!"
Summoning the last of his strength, Han Feng clamped both hands around Xiao Se's wrist. With a furious stomp against empty air, he propelled both of them forward—
Directly toward the incoming fire python.
The eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame came without warning.
Except for the Little Fairy Doctor, who already knew Xiao Se's plan—
Everyone else was stunned.
"Xiao Se—move!"
The Little Fairy Doctor cried out in apparent panic, playing her role perfectly. She flashed forward at full speed, rushing toward him. Behind her, Su Qian also reacted and gave chase.
But the distance was too great.
Even as Dou Zongs—
They were too slow.
Under countless horrified gazes—
Xiao Se and Han Feng were swallowed whole by the enormous invisible fire python and dragged straight back into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Silence fell over the battlefield.
Just minutes ago, Xiao Se had been overwhelming the Medicine Emperor Han Feng.
Now—
He had been dragged into the tower by the Fallen Heart Flame.
The reversal was so sudden that the Inner Academy elders stood frozen.
"Han Feng dragged that brat down with him. If we don't leave now, when will we?"
Fan Lao of the Blood Sect, heavily wounded by the Little Fairy Doctor, saw an opportunity. He turned to Yuan Yi of the Eight Gates and the Earth Flame Sect's leader Yan.
With a flap of his blood-red wings, he shot toward the outskirts of the Inner Academy.
Yuan Yi and Yan followed immediately behind him.
"Leave? Where do you think you're going?!"
The Little Fairy Doctor's expression turned icy.
From her back—
Eight enormous deep-purple wings unfurled.
With a powerful beat, she vanished in a blur—
Her speed several times faster than before.
These were the wings refined from the divine Eight Spider Lances.
Perhaps—
It was more fitting to call them—
The Heavenly Poison Eight Wings.
