570: Chapter 570 Murder and Robbery

[You had no interest in the subsequent auction; your attention was entirely focused on Yan Wenjie.]

[Soon, Yan Wenjie and his party left Langgan Pavilion and headed straight to the teleportation square. After stepping into the teleportation array, they went to the Tianxuan Immortal Dynasty.]

[You followed decisively, making no attempt to hide your presence.]

[When you appeared at the teleportation square of the Tianxuan Imperial City, five pairs of eyes looked over simultaneously.]

Yan Wenjie sized you up and said with a smile, "Old man, following us all this way, could it be you intend to kill us and take our treasures?"

[You had intentionally let Yan Wenjie discover you, so you didn't hide anything.]

Mo Yangming of Boundless Immortal Sect shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

The Demon Lord Tianxuan and Empress Tianxuan exchanged a glance and stepped back thoughtfully.

"If you two wish to spar, please do not involve the innocent people in the city," the Demon Lord Tianxuan added with a smile.

You looked at Yan Wenjie with a smile: "Young friend, to be honest, I have indeed taken a fancy to something on you. If Fellow Daoist is willing to part with it, I am willing to trade it for your life."

"Hahaha..." Yan Wenjie threw his head back and laughed, his laughter echoing over the square. "In all my hundred-plus years of life, you are the first person who has dared to speak to me like this."

Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land glanced at you, her expression calm: "Fellow Daoist, you are no match for him. Do not throw your life away in vain."

Empress Tianxuan chuckled and said softly, "I see that this Fellow Daoist's Lifespan is likely nearing its end; he is probably here for a desperate gamble."

Your current appearance, with a hunched back and hair and beard all white, even struggling to breathe, indeed made it look like you didn't have many days left to live.

"How do you know I'm not his match?" You smiled. "To deal with him, three moves are enough."

Mo Yangming of Boundless Immortal Sect shook his head with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps not know his identity?"

"I don't care about his identity," you said nonchalantly. "In my eyes, he is nothing more than a clay chicken or a pottery dog."

Yan Wenjie's face turned cold, his voice bone-chillingly icy: "Old man, you are courting death."

He raised a hand and pointed to the sky: "If you have the guts, follow me. Let me see if your strength matches your arrogance."

Before his voice had even faded, his figure flickered, and he had already reached ten thousand meters into the sky.

You smiled, and with a movement of your body, you stood opposite him.

The Demon Lord Tianxuan and Empress Tianxuan exchanged a glance, their smiles deepening.

Mo Yangming of Boundless Immortal Sect shook his head speechlessly and sighed, "Sigh, good advice cannot save a ghost determined to die."

Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land said nothing, merely gazing calmly at the two figures in the sky.

In the sky,

Yan Wenjie spoke coldly, "Old man..."

You smiled, and before he could finish, you raised your hand and let out a low shout:

"Shadowless Poison Sword!"

In an instant, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged frantically, condensing behind you into thousands of hazy gray poison swords, so dense they covered half the sky.

Yan Wenjie raised an eyebrow, his lips curling up: "Poison Dao? Hahaha... I thought you were relying on something special, but it turns out to be just the Poison Dao!"

He sneered, his gaze turning cold: "Unfortunately for you, you've met me. I specialize in countering poison."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a crimson bead shot out from his palm—

The bead rose into the air and suddenly expanded, turning into a sun that blotted out the sky, hanging in the heavens and emitting scorching flames.

The sky for ten thousand miles around was instantly ignited; the air distorted, and clouds evaporated, turning into a boundless sea of fire.

This treasure was precisely the Fire Spirit Bead, an Acquired Spirit Treasure.

At the same time,

In the imperial city below, countless commoners looked up at the sky.

The sky full of poison swords stood in confrontation with the sun; half the sky was hazy gray, while the other half was crimson.

A wave of poison aura pressed down from above, like an invisible hand clutching at throats.

A wave of flames scorched simultaneously, like being roasted over a fire.

"This is... I feel like I can't breathe." Someone clutched their chest, their face turning pale.

"Deity Transformation Grand Experts are battling! Quickly, steady your minds!" someone shouted a warning, their voice trembling.

"Where is the Empress? Quickly, go ask the Empress to activate the city's protective array!"

The Demon Lord Tianxuan and Empress Tianxuan exchanged a glance and acted simultaneously.

The two of them formed hand seals to cast a spell. A water-like ripple of light surged from their palms, spreading like ripples until it finally formed a semi-transparent barrier that covered the entire city.

The poison aura and flames crashed against it, making "sizzling" sounds—the Law Powers of water, fire, poison, and others intertwined, evaporating into a sky full of white mist.

The air in the city immediately became sweet and clear, with a refreshing coolness that made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Someone took a deep breath and patted their chest: "I'm alive... I'm alive..."

"The Empress has acted!"

On the square, the four including the Demon Lord Tianxuan looked up at the sky and shook their heads one after another.

Because your thousands of poison swords were melting inch by inch in the flames, dissolving silently like snow falling into boiling water.

The Demon Lord Tianxuan frowned and lowered his voice: "This Fellow Daoist is using the Poison Dao against Yan Wenjie; I'm afraid he's going to suffer for it."

Empress Tianxuan said nothing more, only letting out a soft sigh as if she couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Mo Yangming of Boundless Immortal Sect shook his head, a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth: "I thought this Fellow Daoist had some impressive methods, but it turns out he's only at this level."

Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land suddenly spoke, her voice urgent: "Look!"

The four looked at the changes in the sky and were instantly stunned.

In the sky, you watched as the thousands of poison swords were slowly dissolved by the Law of Fire, and instead, you smiled.

You had anticipated this and simply smiled calmly: "This Spirit Treasure of yours is not bad. I'll take it!"

Before you had even finished speaking, with a thought, the Ice Fire Fiend Poison Body surged into operation.

A power intertwined with icy cold and blazing heat surged within your body, spreading through your Meridians to your four limbs and hundred bones. An eerie green light flickered faintly beneath your skin, like the pupils of a venomous snake.

The poison swords that were dissolving suddenly stopped their decline. With a hum, they reconsolidated—denser, more substantial, and with a more terrifying aura than before.

A layer of eerie cold light appeared on the sword blades, as if they were dipped in poison or covered in frost, even the surrounding air hissed as it was corroded.

Yan Wenjie's face changed drastically as he looked at your poison swords—his fire was actually unable to dissolve your poison.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

Fire counters poison; it is a rule of heaven and earth, without exception.

He was a Soul Transformation Prodigy of the Heavenly Palace, possessing the Flaming Sun Sacred Body and bolstered by the Fire Spirit Bead. Reasonably, his fire should be able to incinerate all poison-type Divine Abilities.

Yet these poison swords before him were somehow unafraid of his fire.

This was absolutely impossible.

Unless—your Realm was higher than his.

His Divine Sense swept over you repeatedly, confirming that you only had a Soul Transformation aura.

Indeed, it was Soul Transformation.

But he couldn't understand it.

Of course he couldn't understand it—when you first unleashed the Shadowless Poison Sword, it was indeed purely the Law of Poison.

But after the Ice Fire Fiend Poison Body was activated, it was no longer so.

Now, it was the Law Powers of ice, fire, and poison, triple-stacked.

Unless he could counter all three Laws simultaneously, he would be helpless against this move of yours.

This was also why the Ice Fire Fiend Poison Body was called a supreme Physique—because this poison was never just pure poison.
