198: Chapter 198 Predicting Your Prediction! Little Fairy Doctor: Thank You for the Gift

"Mm!?"

Xiao Yi Xian had already prepared herself back in the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.

However, being hit by the sudden dark purple light, the terrifying energy rampaged through her body after entering from her back, causing a chill to rise through her entire being and making her scalp tingle.

But when Gu Han's voice rang in her ear, she instinctively obeyed and activated her Calamity Poison Body. The terrifying poison gas erupted from the seven-colored hidden line stretching from her abdomen to below her chest, instantly circulating through her meridians and carving eerie patterns within her body.

Her eyes turned increasingly grayish-white, and purple energy flowed through the meridians on both sides of her eyes. However, Xiao Yi Xian's control over her body also significantly improved, and she could clearly feel the energy contained within the mark on her back.

With her Dou Qi circulating, she sensed a thumb-sized black spot on her back, from which countless tiny black lines extended, attempting to enter her limbs and various acupoints.

However, once this power felt the strength brought by the Calamity Poison Body, it immediately became docile, like a well-behaved and obedient son.

Xiao Yan's Soul Power was powerful, and he also perceived the situation inside Xiao Yi Xian's body. He looked up at Xie Bi Yan: "Making a contribution even before death, I really must thank you for your gift to Xiao Yi Xian, Xie Bi Yan."

At this moment, after spitting out that purple light, Xie Bi Yan's body was like withered wood. He was nothing but skin and bones, without any flesh left. His hollow eyes were terrifyingly vacant, and his hair had lost its vitality and fallen out.

The malice and cold sneer that were originally in those eyes had now turned into disbelief, anger, and an indescribable sense of grievance!

"Brat, you were calculating against this old man from the beginning!?"

Xie Bi Yan was no fool. Being able to become the number one person above ten thousand in the Izumo Empire and the only Dou Zong in hundreds of years, he was smarter than most.

The Poison Demon Spot he had struck out by exhausting his lifetime's cultivation was something that even a Dou Zong expert would have to pay a massive price and endure great pain to resolve if hit, with the risk of falling.

But for the Calamity Poison Body alone, it was a pure benefit—a double tonic of Dou Qi and poison.

It was definitely no coincidence that Gu Han had Xiao Yi Xian block it.

"That's right, I was calculating against you." Gu Han did not deny it. After performing the deduction with the Xuanwu Shell, he had set this plan.

Using himself as bait, he forced the cornered Xie Bi Yan to use the Poison Demon Spot on him, then had Xiao Yi Xian block it at the last moment to suppress it with the Calamity Poison Body.

Next, Xiao Yi Xian wouldn't need to consume any poison; as long as she refined the Poison Demon Spot in peace, she could rise from Dou Wang to Dou Zong within three years!

This was a full two years earlier than she would have reached that level in her original life trajectory.

"Dammit, dammit!"

Xie Bi Yan roared in impotent rage, but he was already heavily injured and dying. Now that he had used the Poison Demon Spot technique, his death was certain.

Even if a Great Golden Immortal came... well, they could still save him.

But now, he was beyond help.

"Ah!"

Amidst his weakening roars, Xie Bi Yan's body withered until only bones remained.

Gu Han raised two fingers and flicked out a wisp of Yin Yang Twin Flames, incinerating Xie Bi Yan's skeletal remains into nothingness.

"Xiao Yi Xian, are you alright?"

Yun Yun and the others came to the side of Gu Han and the girl, their eyes filled with concern.

The Poison Demon Spot wasn't some secret technique, but rather a sinister move known by most Poison Masters who cultivated poison Dou Qi in the Izumo Empire. It could condense all the poison Dou Qi in the body and shoot it into an enemy, forming a black spot that released poison lines to continuously attack the enemy's acupoints.

Over time, the Poison Demon Spot would cause the enemy's meridians to rot, leading to a slow death in endless pain.

However, performing this move required consuming all of one's Dou Qi, which was equivalent to sacrificing one's life.

It could be said to be a more insidious and cruel method of mutual destruction than self-detonation.

"I'm fine." Xiao Yi Xian had already suppressed the first wave of poison line impacts, and her cultivation had easily risen to two-star Dou Wang. She lifted her head from Gu Han's embrace: "I've never felt so refreshed and comfortable."

"The Poison Demon Spot won't kill me; instead, it will provide me with a continuous supply of Dou Qi and toxins."

"Once I've fully refined it, along with some Tier 6 poisons to purify the toxins, I won't face any bottlenecks before breaking through to Dou Zong."

Not only that, she also discovered she had an extra trump card: she could call upon the Dou Qi within the Poison Demon Spot to fight while her Calamity Poison Body was active, briefly exerting the strength of a Dou Zong.

But if she did that, the Dou Qi within would be consumed, and the boost she could gain from the Poison Demon Spot would be greatly reduced.

This was a trump card to be used in times of danger, but considering long-term development, it was best not to use it.

"It's good that you're fine." Relaxed smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

They were all friends who had forged deep bonds, and their concern for each other was sincere.

"Next, let's carry out the cleanup work." Gu Han naturally held Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist as his gaze swept across everyone's faces: "After all, there are still quite a few spectators watching nearby."

"To prevent them from joining in as actors, it's better to let this play come to an end."

In some hidden places nearby, there were auras of Dou Zong experts. Unsurprisingly, they were the supreme experts from the Maple Leaf Empire and the Qiu Yue Empire.

Now that Xie Bi Yan and the Three Elders of Mu Lan had been killed, the Izumo Empire and the Mu Lan Empire had lost their top combat power and more than half of their Dou Huang experts. Both empires were now pieces of fat meat.

However, even with half of the Luo Yan Empire's territory, the Cloud Mist Sect and the Jia Ma Empire would need a lot of time to digest it. They could only slowly encroach upon the territories of the other two empires.

The Maple Leaf Empire and the Qiu Yue Empire, watching from the side, couldn't possibly be without thoughts.

Eventually, they would have to sit at the negotiating table, but before that, they had to flex enough muscle.

The tone must be set: the Cloud Mist Sect eats the meat, and you can only have the soup.

Time flew by like a white horse passing a gap, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

For ordinary people, this amount of time wasn't even enough to walk from one city to another within a province of the empire.

But for top experts, crossing an entire empire was not difficult, and information traveled even faster.

The situation of the battle at the Golden Goose Mountain Range had already spread throughout the southern part of the Southwest Region of the Northwest Continent and was still spreading outward.

Tianyin City was a major city in the Northeast Province of the Izumo Empire. The city lord was a three-star Dou Wang.

In the largest restaurant in the city, countless people were engaged in heated discussion.

"The Cloud Mist Sect has completely risen. Both generations of sect leaders are Dou Zong. That Sect Leader Yun Yun is said to already be a three-star Dou Zong, just like the Myriad Scorpion Gate's Ancestor Xie Bi Yan in his prime."

"What's the point of discussing experts who are already dead? If you ask me, the true core figure of the Cloud Mist Sect is that Grand Elder, Snow Sword Young Master Gu Han."

"Not even eighteen, and he's said to already be a Peak Dou Wang expert. At that age, I was still seeking to break through to Dou Master."

"His combat power is even more terrifying. Killing Peak Dou Huang experts like the Three Elders of Mu Lan was like slaughtering dogs. Truly terrifying."

"Tell me about it. When I first heard the news, I thought it was a newly released storybook."

"The ancestor of the Cloud Mist Sect's restoration. Yun Yun and Yun Shan both broke through to Dou Zong because of him. Two Queen Medusas cooperated with the Cloud Mist Sect because of him. Ice Emperor Hai Bodong and the Imperial Family's Jia Xingtian joined the Cloud Mist Sect because of him, and I heard they're about to break through to Dou Zong."

"The Luo Yan Empire, Izumo Empire, and Mu Lan Empire... I'm afraid they will all belong to the Jia Ma Empire now."

"Our empire has fought with the Jia Ma Empire for hundreds of years. I'm so unwilling."

"Then you're overthinking it. We'll be people of the Maple Leaf Empire in the future."

"What do you mean by that?"

*Cough*, my throat is a bit dry."

"Waiter, bring the best Qinghe Brew."

"This matter, I also heard from my seventh great-uncle's eldest uncle's younger sister's son-in-law's nephew. He works in the City Lord's Manor. The Cloud Mist Sect has entered negotiations with the two great empires."
