Chapter 1399: Chapter 1399: She Won’t Let Me Down!

"Vice Chairman Qian, congratulations!"

From the northern seat, Ouyang Wuantong, the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, hid the shock deep within his eyes, turned his head and revealed a smile. His words of congratulations also contained a hint of emotion.

As the Sect Master of the largest intelligence sect on the Hidden Dragon Continent, Ouyang Wuantong was well-versed in all major and minor events on the continent and had a deep understanding of the Meridian Refining Master Association.

In the past, the Meridian Refining Master Association’s top combat strength was predominantly supported by President Lu Yanji. Both Qian Sanyuan and Guan Rufeng only recently broke through to the Heavenly Rank Realm in the last few years.

According to Ouyang Wuantong’s knowledge, if Qian Sanyuan hadn’t impulsively visited the Hidden Dragon Continent, it would likely have taken him several more years to break through to the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm.

Consequently, although the Meridian Refining Master Association was ranked among the four top forces, its peak strength was considerably weaker than the other three super forces. Besides Lu Yanji, they relied on the favors owed by the powerful individuals they had healed and treated.

But now, based on the intelligence in Ouyang Wuantong’s hands, Lianyun Mountain no longer only boasted these veteran powerhouses. The strong rise of the younger generation is sure to lead Lianyun Mountain to new heights.

Yun Xiao, with incomprehensible talent, needs no further mention, and even Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing, known as the dual charm of medicine and poison, have limitless futures.

Having reached the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm Early Stage at such a young age, and with the Meridian Refining Technique now at the Heavenly Rank Low Level, Ouyang Wuantong’s keen eye for talent tells him that it won’t be long before the Tenglong Continent is dominated by these young prodigies.

Therefore, Ouyang Wuantong decided in his heart to maintain a good relationship with the meridian refiners, avoiding unprovoked provocations like those by the Spirit Fighting Commerce and Wuyan Palace, which could bring catastrophic disaster upon his sect.

"It’s a pity we won’t see the performance of Dean Qing’s outstanding disciple. It’s truly a regrettable matter!"

Li Yunfan, standing nearby, cast a glance at Ouyang Wuantong, secretly noting that he had taken the opportunity to say all the good things first. So he could only find another angle, directing his comment towards Dean Qingmu Wu of the Sky Poison Institute.

After all, the competition in the Poison Meridian Path was held within the Nine-layered Poison Tower and was rarely seen from the outside. Even Qingmu Wu wasn’t aware of the internal situation; he could only have basic control over some functions of the Nine Realms Poison Tower.

"Don’t worry, Hanyi won’t disappoint me!"

Qingmu Wu retracted his gaze from the girl in the black dress, a hint of green flashing in his eyes, his words carrying a touch of extreme pride.

Although the relationship between the Poison Vein Masters and the Medical Pulse Masters at Lianyun Mountain has eased due to Yun Xiao, competition still exists beneath the surface.

Not only does Qingmu Wu occasionally spar with Qian Sanyuan to learn from each other’s Meridian Refining Techniques, but there is also a fierce competition among the younger generation, most notably between the dual charm of medicine and poison in the past two years.

The relationship between Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing is naturally excellent, and the so-called competition is all healthy, which enhances the Meridian Refining Techniques of both parties.

However, seeing Mo Qing having already secured a spot in the top five in the Medical Vein Path, Qingmu Wu naturally couldn’t lose momentum, and his words weren’t mere bravado, but genuine confidence in Liu Hanyi.

Who else would know Liu Hanyi’s abilities better than his teacher, Qingmu Wu? Liu Hanyi never kept his Immortal Fetus Poison Body a secret from his teacher.

Previously, Qingmu Wu considered Ye Ku a treasure in the Poison Meridian Path, but after witnessing Liu Hanyi’s poison resistance, he realized Ye Ku’s resistance was child’s play compared to Liu Hanyi’s.

The Nine Realms Poison Tower competition measures who can endure the longest; Qingmu Wu has absolute confidence that, in terms of poison resistance, neither Lu Tianwen from Spirit Fighting Commerce nor the so-called Ghostly Poisonous Woman, Song Qiuchan, could match Liu Hanyi.

However, what Qingmu Wu did not yet know was that the Ghostly Poisonous Woman he considered a formidable opponent was already reduced to a miserable state by Yun Xiao, even losing an arm.

In the square, after Mo Qing healed his patient and secured a second-round spot, only one spot remained, causing the gray-robed middle-aged man and the elderly man in the black-yellow hat to exchange glances.

Initially, neither had considered the newly emerged Medical Vein talent as worth their attention, but unexpectedly, the contender completed the healing before them, leaving them to vie for the final spot.

The air seemed to crackle with tension, as the three who passed the first round entered a spectator mode, while the two powerful Medical Pulse Masters raced against time to claim that last spot.

As for the other Heavenly Rank Low Level Meridian Refiners with less reputation, they hadn’t given up entirely either—hoping for a miracle, just as the two young ones miraculously passed the first round.

The medical vein competition outside progressed intensely, and in stark contrast to the non-life-threatening medical vein competition, the struggles within the Nine Realms Poison Tower for supremacy in the Poison Meridian Skills were infinitely more perilous.

......

Each blossom has its own branch!

Inside a certain level of the Nine Realms Poison Tower, a graceful figure gazed at a huge Highly Poisonous Pulse Demon in front, eyes filled with a knowing smile and an unusual fighting spirit.

"Big guy, I just told you, you’re no match for me!"

Looking at the enormous figure not far ahead, Liu Hanyi spoke lightly. However, such disdainful words undoubtedly provoked the Highly Poisonous Pulse Demon that had reached the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon.

"Human woman, I will tear you to pieces!"

The powerful Pulse Demon at the Sky Demon tier was naturally capable of human speech. In its fury, it charged at the human woman once more, intent on fulfilling its boast of tearing her to pieces.

"Forget it, I won’t play with you anymore!"

Seeing the gigantic Pulse Demon pouncing towards her, this time Liu Hanyi did not dodge. Instead, she softly spoke again before directly extending her delicate arm, as if intending to clash head-on with that Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon.

Seeing this scene, the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon was overjoyed. The human woman earlier was indeed slippery, causing many of its powerful attacks to miss, leaving it frustrated.

At this moment, the human woman seemed to have lost her mind, daring to compare physical strength with it. How could the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon not be pleased?

However, what the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon did not see was that when its gigantic right front claw touched the human woman, there was a fleeting glint of mockery in her beautiful eyes.

"Immortal Embryo Poison, activate!"

As they clashed, Liu Hanyi let out a stern cry. Immediately afterwards, a mysterious aura erupted from her right palm, swiftly penetrating the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon’s giant claw.

"Die!"

At this moment, the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon had no idea what the human woman’s shout meant. It only knew that in this clash, the human woman had no chance of recovery.

This was not just the formidable physical strength of a Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon. Within this Nine Realms Poison Tower, most of the creatures were Highly Poisonous Pulse Demons. Their methods of attack were vastly more sinister and terrifying than ordinary Pulse Demons.

Take this Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon, for example. Its entire body of toxins was hidden within its five claws. Once an enemy was scratched, the toxins would instantly erode them, leaving no chance for survival.

This time was no exception. As soon as the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon touched Liu Hanyi’s jade hand, it gently scratched. Although it only left a skin mark due to her swift reflexes, it knew this human woman could not survive.

Moreover, as the Sky Demon Claw scratched, a powerful force erupted. In this forceful confrontation, Liu Hanyi was indeed not a match, being blasted several feet away, her breath disrupted.

Luckily, Liu Hanyi had an Immortal Poison Body, an Abnormal Physique. Although not as resistant as a Ling Wan Mixed Element One Qi Body, she couldn’t be heavily injured by a Pulse Demon of the same level.

Therefore, once Liu Hanyi stabilized her breathing, she directly looked up, fixing her gaze on the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon with a seemingly playful smile, as if brewing something.

"Is this your poison? Doesn’t seem that impressive!"

Liu Hanyi raised her hand, showing the now blackened claw marks to the big guy opposite, her words only eliciting a cold laugh from the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon.

"Human, you will soon know its power!"

Though slightly shocked by the human woman’s physical strength, the Sky Demon was quite confident in its poison, especially after seeing the blackened claw marks on her hand, knowing the poison would soon take effect.

"Hmm?"

Just as the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon finished speaking, its enormous eyes widened, because it noticed that the previously black claw marks were dimming visibly.

In the end, only faint traces remained on Liu Hanyi’s hand, and not a drop of blood had seeped out. Such a sight almost made the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon’s eyes pop out.

"What sorcery have you used?"

At this moment, the Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon was at a loss for words. Hearing the term "sorcery" from a Sky Demon made Liu Hanyi chuckle a bit.

"Since your poison is ineffective, why not try mine!"

Liu Hanyi wasn’t one to chat idly with such a Low Level Silver Grade Sky Demon. A strange smile formed on her face, and after her words fell, she lightly clenched her raised right hand.

The Immortal Embryo Poison suddenly erupted!
