"How can mere mutated Poisonous Spirit Qi pose a threat to me?"

A deep voice emanated from Yun Xiao's mouth, and immediately after, a flash of lightning appeared behind him. As his aura burst out, a tremendous force surged toward Song Qiuchan.

With the support of Thunder Dragon's Wings and Wind Power, Yun Xiao's speed had reached an extreme at this moment. The saying that, in the world of martial arts, only speed is invincible, seemed as if he was about to tear through the air.

The sound of roaring wind came from the front, causing Song Qiuchan's expression to change slightly. As a woman and a Poison Vein Master, her expertise was not in physical strength. The physical power of the young man in front of her was famously powerful, and she never considered fighting him head-on.

"Oh no!"

Yet Yun Xiao's speed was beyond Song Qiuchan's imagination. Just as she was about to dodge, a fist appeared larger and larger in her eyes, prompting her to change her mind instantly.

Because Song Qiuchan realized that under such speed attacks, even if she could dodge quickly, it would undoubtedly be too late, giving Yun Xiao the chance to unleash his highly-renowned physical strength.

Swish!

Song Qiuchan's reaction wasn't too slow either. As she waved her right hand, a uniquely shaped weapon appeared in her hand, resembling a willow branch.

However, each leaf on the willow branch emitted a faint cold light, letting Yun Xiao know very clearly that if his physical form touched it, it might be cut off.

Clearly, this was an extremely bizarre and special weapon. The willow leaf-like things were mini meat grinders. The human body, after all, cannot compare to some high-rank weapons.

Yun Xiao's physical strength was undoubtedly strong, but even with the Earth Burst Stone Lotus Armor, he certainly couldn't withstand the piercing and cutting of such sharp weapons, forcing him to change his attack method instantly.

Song Qiuchan's response was indeed just right, being very aware of Yun Xiao's physical strength. She didn't use the physical power she wasn't skilled at for a direct confrontation and instead opted for a sharp and mysterious weapon.

As expected, once the weapon was suddenly deployed, Yun Xiao retreated, making Song Qiuchan sigh with relief while her figure retreated instantly, aiming to distance herself from Yun Xiao and reconsider her strategy.

Boom! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However, just as Song Qiuchan retreated, a surge of overwhelming force suddenly came from behind her, changing her expression dramatically. She instantly realized what had happened, a peculiar feeling arising in her heart.

Bang!

This attack ultimately caught Song Qiuchan off guard. The power came too suddenly, as if it had been waiting there for her to crash into, directly unleashing on the Ghostly Poisonous Woman.

There was a loud noise accompanied by the full force of the attack, causing Song Qiuchan's face to pale as she staggered forward several steps before regaining her balance, her slightly pale face now a shade of iron blue.

"Afterimage!"

When Song Qiuchan saw the coarse-clothed young man appearing, and another "Yun Xiao" standing motionless elsewhere, her speculations finally turned into reality.

Just like Yun Xiao's physical strength and Dragon Taming Sword, this Meridian Technique that creates afterimages in the Earth Rank Third Realm had become his signature move, often turning the tide and winning against odds.

Now that Yun Xiao had broken through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, deploying this Shadow Clone technique was even smoother, even causing the fully cautious Song Qiuchan to fail to see through, suffering a minor defeat.

Fortunately, knowing she couldn't avoid it any longer, Song Qiuchan concentrated all her Meridian Qi where she was punched, avoiding severe internal injuries.

Yet merely suffering a setback in a few moves left the self-confident Song Qiuchan finding it hard to accept, having safeguarded against various tactics, yet still letting Yun Xiao seize the opportunity.

Trying to make Song Qiuchan retreat due to this would be utterly impossible. The more bizarre Yun Xiao's tactics appeared, the more she believed he could not repeat the same trick. Only the first time could catch someone off guard.

Swish!

But at this moment, Song Qiuchan suddenly felt a chill at her tailbone, her hairs standing upright as an extreme danger approached from behind, making her aware that if she didn't dodge, death could be the outcome.

In this fleeting moment, obscure and vague information flashed through Song Qiuchan's mind, leaving her no time to think further as her form bent, utilizing a special technique of her own.

This time, Song Qiuchan's form didn't bend backward ninety degrees but oddly bent to the left by ninety degrees, a bizarre maneuver even more miraculous than Yun Xiao's previous Zombie Body Technique.

At this moment, Song Qiuchan looked as if struck by a Big Iron Hammer, her upper body seemingly broken yet still connected by skin, a sight likely to terrify an ordinary person to flee in panic.

Whew...

Song Qiuchan's dodge was impressively stunning, and genuinely timely.

As a beam of black light manifested in the air, sweeping past where her chest had been moments ago, she realized just how wise her instinctive reaction had been.

"Sure enough, it's the Dragon Taming Sword!"

Bending over, Song Qiuchan saw the passing Black Light Wooden Sword, and the guess that flashed in her mind was finally confirmed.

According to the information Song Qiuchan had gathered, she was naturally aware of certain changes in the Dragon Taming Sword. After all, many people had seen the Dragon Taming Flying Concealment on the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield or Impermanence Island.

This divine weapon not only has an extremely deceptive appearance, but also can use special techniques to conceal itself in the air, killing silently. It is indeed a formidable technique.

Just now, Song Qiuchan realized Yun Xiao used the Dragon Taming Flying Concealment to hide the Dragon Taming Sword in the air. As it suddenly activated, had she been a moment delayed, her heart would have been pierced.

"This woman is truly alert!"

Seeing his Shadow Clone only caused her some embarrassment and the Dragon Taming Flying Concealment was dodged by Song Qiuchan using a special movement technique, Yun Xiao couldn't help but shake his head in regret.

"Since that's the case, I'll have to use direct confrontation!"

Yun Xiao uttered softly. Initially, he didn't want too much hassle. If those clever techniques could work instantly, he wouldn't have to exert too much effort.

But now, it's clear Song Qiuchan is prepared for those unexpected techniques. Yun Xiao knew that using these methods to win was no longer possible.

However, the reputation Yun Xiao enjoys now is not built solely on such clever measures; against true experts, such methods haven't much place.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Yun Xiao made a decisive move. As his hands kept moving rhythmically, a beam of blood-red light and a faint blue Ice Cold Qi spouted from his left and right hands.

Meanwhile, from Yun Xiao's legs and torso, several different types of Qi emerged, weaving together in the air. In moments, a huge form rapidly took shape.

"Roar!"

The earth-shaking dragon roar echoed through the forest space as Song Qiuchan gazed somewhat shocked. A gigantic Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, with Thunder Wings on its back, stared at her, the Ghostly Poisonous Woman, with its imposing dragon eyes.

"Damn it, what Meridian Technique is this?"

Although Song Qiuchan understood much about Yun Xiao, knowing he has a special technique to transform Qi into a dragon, the pressure from this Thunder Winged Giant Dragon was overwhelming.

It was even not weaker than some Heavenly Rank Meridian Techniques Song Qiuchan had used herself. She believed if she were truly struck by this Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, the outcome would be extremely tragic.

"I refuse to believe your Floating Life Realm Middle Stage cultivation dares to compare Meridian Technique power with me!"

Furious, Song Qiuchan started referring to herself as "old lady", but the next moment, battle intent surged in her heart. After all, in terms of Meridian Qi Cultivation, she was one small realm higher than Yun Xiao.

Song Qiuchan knew when it came to weapon sharpness, she might not match the Dragon Taming Sword; when it came to physical strength, she might not be able to contend with Yun Xiao. But in terms of Meridian Techniques strengthened by Meridian Qi, she had boundless confidence.

After reaching the Heavenly Rank Realm, the gap between small realms is arguably larger than the entire Great Rank within the Earth Rank Third Realm. Under such circumstances, in Meridian Techniques, the superior naturally holds the advantage.

Instead of understanding why Yun Xiao would give up his strengths for his weaknesses, Song Qiuchan was sure she wouldn't lose in this Meridian Technique confrontation.

Swish!

As Song Qiuchan's hands changed seals, Meridian Qi quietly surged, instantly forming a gigantic creature emitting black green light above her in the sky.

In appearance, this black green beast had a few similarities to the Moon Gazing Poison Demon below, yet its black green aura was even more bizarre.

Evidently, this was another special transformation Song Qiuchan researched after refining Poisonous Spirit Qi, even considered a Meridian Technique she invented herself.

This technique not only possesses incredible power but also contains a special, strange poison. Once an opponent uses a normal Meridian Technique to clash, and that poison invades their system, suffering is guaranteed.

Though Song Qiuchan saw Yun Xiao's immunity to such special poisons earlier, she believed it was simply because the special poison she used wasn't potent enough.

Now that all toxins were fully activated, if this guy could still withstand it, then she would have to redefine Yun Xiao's expertise in the Poison Meridian Path.
