613. Help Arrives
During her long stay in Saint Pill City, Little Fairy Doctor certainly didn't just sit idle. Taking advantage of the Pill Gathering, a time when countless alchemists gathered, she collected a large quantity of highly poisonous substances that were usually difficult to obtain. Apart from helping Xiao Yan, she spent most of her time preparing these poisons.
The final harvest was these scattered jade bottles; just a few drops from each bottle could poison a Dou Zong (a high-level cultivator).
At the same time, the poison pills within Little Fairy Doctor's body continuously release battle qi. She is born with a calamity-inducing poison body, and as long as there is poison, she can unleash combat power far exceeding her own battle qi level.
Now, Little Fairy Doctor's goal is quite simple: she has used up all the poison she has made over the past year, hoping to control the situation in this battle first.
She didn't understand the Spirit Clan's methods, nor did she believe she could break them in a short time. What she could do now was to buy as much time as possible, giving Xiao Yan or Qing Lin the opportunity to break the Spirit Clan's predicament.
Little Fairy Doctor's judgment was very accurate. As the poisonous fog spread over a large area, the Spirit Clan members were also affected.
Most importantly, their vision was blocked, and their sense of soul was also obscured by the almost tangible poison.
Ling Zhuo's mind was being affected by the blood energy constantly erupting within his body, and his emotions were gradually becoming irritable.
"Go in! Kill everyone except the Thunder Clan!" Ling Zhuo roared. "It doesn't matter if that woman has the Calamity Poison Body; she's just a Dou Zun!"
As soon as Ling Zhuo finished speaking, three figures rushed over, their target quite clear. Without exception, all three possessed the aura of a Dou Zun!
Tang Zhen, the master of Burning Flame Valley, was engulfed in flames, and thunderous dragon roars echoed from him. Originally a peak five-star Dou Zun, he had already gained the aura of a seven-star Dou Zun after being amplified by the Burning Flame Valley's secret technique, "Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire."
The enormous commotion startled the Spirit Clan members, forcing them to postpone their entry into the poisonous fog.
"Huo'er, where are you? Are you alright?" Tang Zhen called out anxiously, immediately calling for his daughter.
"Father, I'm fine, be careful!" Tang Huo'er and the others were also enveloped by the poisonous mist released by Little Fairy Doctor. She quickly explained the situation she was in.
Unwilling to attend Xiao Yan's victory celebration, Tang Zhen went directly to his old friend Kang Ning. Concerned for his daughter, he and Kang Ning rushed to her aid. Upon their arrival, they unexpectedly encountered Venerable Mingshui, who was also at the Pill Tower, and the three of them joined forces to reach her.
"Where are you, senior brother?"
"Venerable Netherwater, Wei Jiangyuan is also here, but he is currently trapped by the Spirit Clan's methods," Little Fairy Doctor replied on his behalf.
After confirming the news, Ming Shui and Tang Zhen both breathed a sigh of relief. Kang Ning, looking at the Spirit Clan members, angrily rebuked them, "Ling Zhuo, how dare you bring people here? Do you want the Pill Tower and the Spirit Clan to start a full-scale war?"
"You three, stop them!" Ling Zhuo also selected the three strongest Dou Zun to intercept Tang Zhen's group. The three who came were all above the five-star Dou Zun level, and Ling Zhuo really didn't want his hunting operation to be disturbed again.
The three people who were called out instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. They had been badly injured by Qing Lin and Lei Jingxiao in the previous battle. Although they knew that Xiao Yan and the others were all under control, they still preferred to face the three who had arrived.
Kang Ning and Tang Zhen were already well-known figures on the mainland, and it was unlikely that they would suddenly rise to prominence like these young people. Dealing with them was straightforward; just kill them.
Looking at the three Spirit Race Dou Zun before him—a nine-star, a seven-star, and a six-star Dou Zun—the Venerable Mingshui volunteered, saying, "I'll deal with the nine-star Dou Zun."
Seeing that he, the strongest among them, had been chosen as the opponent, the Spirit Clan's Dou Sheng looked at the somewhat strange eight-star Dou Zun before him and laughed, "You ignorant fool, I'll show you the Spirit Clan's methods soon enough!"
Venerable Mingshui said with some helplessness, "Although I really dislike being a babysitter, my senior brother is inside after all..."
Immediately, a green light appeared in his palm. This was the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, "Red Zhe Xuanmu Scripture," written by Shennong the Elder after he advanced to the Dou Sheng realm, based on his many years of experience.
Wei Jiangyuan's talent in alchemy was the envy of Ming Shui, but he was even stronger than the techniques taught by the Shennong Elder! Of course, this was mainly because he had become a Dou Zun powerhouse when he joined the sect, and it was for this reason that the Shennong Elder had him accompany Wei Jiangyuan as a bodyguard.
With a slight flutter of his sleeves, Venerable Mingshui's blazing Azure Flame began to ignite spontaneously without wind. The Spirit Clan's Battle Venerable was shocked to find that his own Battle Qi was boiling like medicinal liquid, and that his own Battle Qi was actually helping the flames burn!
When he tried to retaliate, he found himself inside a cauldron of condensed flames. This eight-star Dou Zun actually wanted to refine him into a pill.
"Damn it!" The Nine-Star Dou Zun of the Spirit Clan also suddenly erupted...
The three members of the Spirit Clan and Tang Zhen's three were locked in a fierce battle.
On the other side, Ling Zhuo led two other weaker clansmen deeper into the poisonous creatures. The area covered by the poisonous mist released by Little Fairy Doctor was also an area controlled by the Void Restriction, so Ling Zhuo was not worried about safety inside.
The Void Restriction Technique is a new combat skill developed by the Spirit Race after many years of research. The reason it is so highly valued is that it can identify the Spirit Race's bloodline while restricting the opponent's movements.
As long as one is a member of the Spirit Race, there are absolutely no restrictions within the airspace restriction area.
Despite his unhealthy impatience, Ling Zhuo did not forget his true goal—Xiao Yan!
He had to personally kill Xiao Yan, the true enemy who had forced him onto this path of no return, within these twelve hours.
The raging dragon flames erupted forth, and the strange fire itself was one of the natural enemies of poisonous gas. In the battle against the raging dragon flames, the grayish-purple mist quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
One reason for this is that the Wind Fury Dragon Flame is a different kind of fire, completely immune to poisonous gas. But more importantly, the deadly pill was indeed incredibly effective; Ling Zhuo's battle qi was still slowly increasing, and the power in his body seemed inexhaustible. Even though Little Fairy Doctor had focused her attention on Ling Zhuo's location, he was still visibly undermining her protective measures.
This power arrived swiftly and domineeringly, but it ultimately had side effects; the consumption of life was its greatest cost. Simultaneously, as his blood energy surged and his life force burned, Ling Zhuo's rationality was constantly being depleted. He became incredibly agitated, and his perception of his surroundings plummeted to an extremely low level.
So much so that he didn't notice at all: under the cover of the poisonous fog, a figure passed by him not far away.
