"Blue Scorpion truly spoke correctly, you are excellent material. Helpful for further perfecting my Three Divine Qi!" The woman nodded slightly, her hand constantly pinching back and forth on his chest.

Like inspecting freshly washed pork. Fingers picky and cold.

Thud thud thud.

Suddenly, a hurried knocking sound came from outside.

"Master, Master, it's bad!"

"What is it!? I told you not to disturb me!" the silver-masked woman angrily turned her head and shouted.

"Toad Hall... it's Toad Hall!! Wiped out completely!!!" the disciple outside cried out with a sobbing voice.

"Wiped out completely!?" Xu Mengyan's expression faltered.

Though Toad Hall was the weakest branch, Toad Lady only had internal law cultivation, but her poison body was second only to Elder Wu among the five branch factions.

Unexpectedly....

"Waste!!" Xu Mengyan's heart surged with anger, "So many years raising people, yet they can't handle a small task! What use do I have for her!!"

"Who is the person!?" She lifted her hand from Ding Yu, walked to the wall, took off the purple gown lined with gold that was hanging, and draped it over herself.

"The person claims to be Zhang Rongfang, here looking for a missing subordinate named Ding Yu!"

"Hmm?" Xu Mengyan's gaze immediately fell on Ding Yu on the stone bed.

"Who is he?" she asked coldly.

"Zhang Rongfang... Zhang Rongfang... He's a Daoist!! It must be the Daoist!! You're doomed! Hahaha!!" The instant Ding Yu heard the name, he trembled all over, tiger-like eyes spouted tears soaking his cheeks.

His voice trembled, filled with incomparable joy.

"The Daoist came to save me!! You don't know his power at all. You're doomed!! You're all doomed!!"

"The only way to survive now is to let me go, all of you go outside, kneel down, and beg for mercy! Perhaps there might still be a slim chance to live! Otherwise...."

Ding Yu, shedding tears of joy, began to speak incoherently.

"You despicable women!! Soon! Soon the Daoist will be here! I knew he would definitely come back! You're doomed! You're doomed! Hahaha!!" Ding Yu both cried and laughed.

Long suppressed self-esteem, at this moment completely rebounded explosively.

Almost throwing him into emotional turmoil.

With a crack, the stone door opened, Lan Siyi, Elder She, Elder Wu, Elder Zhu all entered in succession.

Seeing Ding Yu almost losing his mind, they all furrowed their brows.

"Master, perhaps we should use this person to threaten the strong enemy? Since the opponent willingly came for this Ding Yu, he must be someone significant to him." Elder She, also known as Snake Woman, looked at Ding Yu with a dissatisfied face and spoke coldly.

"Threaten!?" Xu Mengyan turned sharply, stared at Snake Woman. "What? You think I am less than that person!?"

"I wouldn't dare!" Snake Woman's body trembled, hurriedly lowered her head.

"I, Xu Mengyan, am born with the Poison Emperor Body, unmatched! Sooner or later, I will reach the pinnacle of Great Spirit! You want me to use a hostage to threaten a little bug I can crush with a slap!?" Xu Mengyan's voice was arrogant.

"I... I understand!" Snake Woman's face gradually turned pale, feeling ominous.

"Go kill that person outside." Xu Mengyan said in a deep voice. "All of you, together!"

"Yes!"

Lan Siyi and others responded in unison. No one was scared, no one hesitated.

They feared the backlash of Celestial River Water more than death.

"Either he dies, or you die! My Five Cauldrons Sect does not need waste!"

Xu Mengyan waved her hand sternly.

"Yes!!"

The four immediately bowed their heads, turned swiftly, and left the stone chamber.

Xu Mengyan turned to look at the dumbfounded Ding Yu.

"Looks like your spirit is still good. Next, if that Daoist can walk here alive, he will qualify to be the first general in my reconstructed Five Cauldrons Sect."

"....You're absolutely... insane!?" Ding Yu had never seen someone so arrogant.

"Insane?" Xu Mengyan squinted her eyes, "No, I'm just too powerful."

She trained in poison at five, entered grade at ten, stepped into Ninth Grade at fifteen.

At twenty, she achieved Super Grade Three Emptiness, at twenty-six stepped into Grandmaster, her talent unprecedented and never seen before!

Recorded in records as Poison Emperor Body of Jue Yin, the most coveted top talent of poison skills in the world!

Now she had further evolved the Poison Emperor Body to an even stronger Taiyin Fiery Body!

Also, she had concocted a terrifying poison that even Divine Spirit General cannot resist—Three Divine Qi.

So far, the world is so vast, none could rival.

"Come, let's continue our test." Xu Mengyan once again walked towards Ding Yu. "I detest stagnation, moving forward every minute, every second is the norm for Xu Mengyan!"

"..." Ding Yu was dumbstruck.

BOOM!!!

Right then, a deafening explosion sounded from the stone hall outside.

The stone door trembled, stones crumbled, dust fell from above.

Wails, cries echoed faintly through the walls from a distance.

Xu Mengyan's hand didn't tremble, she picked up a tube of blue liquid containing tiny black insect eggs, flicked it lightly with her fingers, and walked towards Ding Yu.

Pff.

Pff.

Pff.

Suddenly, from the stone hall outside, footsteps grew closer, increasingly distinct.

"Hey, did you hear that, there's sound outside!?" Ding Yu looked at the approaching insect egg liquid, swallowed, his scalp tingling.

Xu Mengyan's gaze remained unchanged, reaching to check his pulse on his forearm. As if the sound outside didn't exist.

"With the previous World Yang Liquid, along with this tube of Seven-Star Leaf Insect Eggs, it should complete the first step of physique adjustment."

She muttered under her breath, as if calculating something.

Picked up the medicine tube, injected it into a large syringe, then squeezed out the air.

Xu Mengyan carefully aimed at the clear vein on Ding Yu, the needle tip plunged in.

Ssss.

From behind, the stone door made a sound as it opened.

No subordinates reported, outside was only silence.

Xu Mengyan squinted her eyes, paused her motion, turned around.

Outside the stone door, a burly silhouette almost filling the entire door frame stood in front of the door.

The silhouette was bare-chested, the whole body covered in countless fragments of flesh and blood, even his hair was stained dark red.

"Seems like I arrived just in time."

Zhang Rongfang reached out and brushed the blood-red long hair back from his forehead, grinning to reveal a sinister smile.

Tears instantly welled up in Ding Yu's eyes.

He opened his mouth wide, crying out in anguish.

"Gra....!!"

Boom!!

A thunderous clash echoed in the stone chamber.

Zhang Rongfang and Xu Mengyan vanished simultaneously from their spots, colliding, exerting force.

Their four fists met directly, no dodging, no diverting, just the purest violent collision.

Xu Mengyan's whole body rapidly expanded, twisted, grew larger, skin erupted with purple streaks, and her eyes subtly elongated, resembling a fox.

Instantly. She surged from nearly one meter eighty to two meters fifty. Under the firelight, her skin shimmered with a metallic shine.

Bang!!!

Moments later, a resounding crash, Xu Mengyan flew backwards, smashing hard into the stone wall, creating a deeply concave pit.

Fragments scattered and rolled everywhere.

She stood up quickly, exhaling heavily.

"Such immense power...such a strong physique!! This type of experimental body.... is simply what I've always dreamed of...."

Swoosh!

Before finishing speaking, Zhang Rongfang's figure appeared before her again, as if teleporting.

A descending elbow strike.

Bam!!

Xu Mengyan roared fiercely, raising her forearms to block.

Boom!!

The ground beneath her suddenly sank, cracking underfoot.

Both knees emitted a faint cracking sound, almost causing her to kneel.

"Want me to kneel!!?? What do you amount to!!?" Her face flushed with blood, pustules of varying sizes quickly surfaced on her body.

Her physique also seemed to grow visibly larger.

Extreme State: Thousand Sensations, Ten Thousand Illusions!

Two formidable skills from the Ten Thousand Devouring Heart Scripture erupted simultaneously within her.

With two Extreme States stacked, the resulting power actually forced Zhang Rongfang's arm upwards.

Even Zhang Rongfang showed a hint of surprise at this.

"Your strength is not lacking."

Back then, even the three Grandmasters joining hands were at this level. For merely a branch of the Sensing Sect, this was already strong.

Mind you, the Thousand Stone Sect is also a branch, yet Zuo Han himself is at best equivalent to one and a half of those Grandmasters.

Seeing it this way, this woman's physical strength actually surpasses Old Zuo's!?

"Do you think.... you can defeat me!?" Xu Mengyan supported her body. The mask on her face finally shattered into pieces amidst the violent battle, scattered on the floor.

Underneath was a cold, sharp, and beautiful face.

"Just before was merely trying my weakest part. Now, let me show you the true power of my Ten Thousand Devouring Heart Scripture!!"

Puff puff puff!!

Instantly, pustules on her body burst all at once, spraying dark yellow fluid.

Zhang Rongfang abruptly retreated, his figure flickering repeatedly, tearing down a stone door and swinging it forward.

Bam!

Xu Mengyan was about to laugh maniacally, only to be heavily struck by the massive stone slab.

With a loud crash, she flew sideways again, colliding with the walls of the stone hall on the left. Immediately, there was no sound.

Zhang Rongfang couldn't avoid all the venom. Some venom splattered onto his right arm, corroding the skin, releasing a pungent black smoke.

Seeing the venom corroding until his red flesh was almost exposed, but soon, the wound almost mystically, automatically squirmed and stitched up.

Five seconds later, Zhang Rongfang lowered his hand, everything restored to its original state.

"Impressive toxin...." His expression was solemn. "But to defeat me, this is far from enough."

He walked step by step towards her location.

"The gap between us is like the bright moon to the morning star."

With a crash, Xu Mengyan broke out from the rubble.

Her entire body expanded once more, her face swollen beyond recognition, her upper body covered in crocodile-like black-purple carapace.

"Morning star? Arrogant!!" She actually fell down three times!!

Unforgivable!!

Unforgivable!!!

The anger within Xu Mengyan's heart was akin to an impending volcanic eruption, madly building up.

"I am the strongest, destined to sweep the Great Spirit and ascend to the supreme position!!! No one can defeat me! No one!!!"

She roared fiercely.

"Final form! Taiyin Scorching Body!!"

Amidst the sound of flesh writhing, pale purple toxic mist was released around Xu Mengyan.

Her stature grew upwards, elongated.

The swelling over her body rapidly receded, in an instant transforming from a spherical purple-black fatty into a long-haired, curvaceous, female monster covered in wound-like purple-black cracks.

On both sides of her mouth, she had grown extra rows of tiny holes, like countless small eyes, opening and closing like living creatures with every breath.

"Kill!!"

Once again, Xu Mengyan stepped forward.

Speed the same as before, strength the same as before.

But...

Bam.

Zhang Rongfang raised a palm to intercept her hand, suddenly feeling a searing pain in his palm.
