Chapter 1432: Chapter 1432: Give Me the Antidote!

"This woman has ended up shooting herself in the foot!"

Seeing Song Qiuchan’s face suddenly show an expression of extreme pain, the surrounding cultivators below were first stunned, then a sneer appeared on their faces, and some even spoke sarcastically.

Because at this moment, many people had already figured out the key to the situation. They all knew that it must have been Liu Hanyi who, when the butterfly-shaped Meridian Spirit came into contact with the Transformation Beast, injected a trace of deadly poison into the Transformation Beast’s body.

Under normal circumstances, if the Transformation Beast was completely devoured by Liu Hanyi’s butterfly-shaped Meridian Spirit, that trace of deadly poison naturally would not enter Song Qiuchan’s body, so she would not have been poisoned.

However, in a moment of anxiety, Song Qiuchan, feeling sorry for the Transformation Beast, disregarded the tournament rules and forcefully used her Meridian Qi, thereby snatching back the Transformation Beast, leading to her being eroded by the deadly poison within it.

In this light, it would seem that the reason Song Qiuchan could so easily take back the Transformation Beast was not because her Meridian Qi Cultivation was particularly formidable, but because that genius girl from the Sky Poison Institute intentionally allowed it to happen.

"You little brat, how dare you plot against me!"

Sensing the burst of deadly energy within her body and seeing the faintly smiling expressions of that man and woman not far away, Song Qiuchan, in that moment, couldn’t help but fly into a rage, shouting out loudly.

Whoosh!

In fact, due to the poison eruption, the hatred Song Qiuchan had suppressed in her heart until now also rose with it. Completely disregarding the tournament rules, her figure moved slightly, and she lunged angrily towards Liu Hanyi.

Or perhaps, in Song Qiuchan’s mind, she knew that this level of poison that even Qi Feng couldn’t resist was something she might not be able to withstand either. She had to make a decisive move, capture the one who poisoned her, and then force them to give her the antidote.

"This..."

Song Qiuchan’s sudden attack left the onlooking cultivators around the square in a daze, unable to comprehend why Song Qiuchan would make such a foolish decision at this moment.

These onlookers hadn’t guessed the relationship between Liu Hanyi and Yun Xiao, and while the Sky Poison Institute girl might not, in the end, take Song Qiuchan’s life, Song Qiuchan’s cultivation might not be preserved.

The reason everyone thought Song Qiuchan was stupid was that they’d just seen Qi Feng’s outcome, and they knew in their hearts that as long as Song Qiuchan conceded defeat, for the sake of Lianyun Mountain’s reputation, Liu Hanyi likely wouldn’t let her die from the poison.

But Song Qiuchan’s actions at this moment undoubtedly blocked her own last path. If using Meridian Qi to take back the Transformation Beast earlier was an unconscious act, then this aggressive attack was her own conscious choice.

The two actions have completely different interpretations: one is unconscious, the other is deliberately offensive, which completely disregards the Meridian Refining Conference’s rules.

"Senior Sister Hanyi, be careful!"

Seeing the overwhelming burst of Meridian Qi from Song Qiuchan, the Sky Poison Institute genius Si Mo instinctively exclaimed, then felt an unusual glance cast towards him.

"That old woman has already been poisoned by Junior Sister Hanyi. Do you think she could really cause any trouble?"

It was Ye Ku who spoke. Perhaps compared to Si Mo, he had a better understanding of Liu Hanyi’s Immortal Embryo Poison. He believed that even if Song Qiuchan was two small realms higher than Liu Hanyi, the outcome would still be extremely tragic.

If it was a simple contest of Meridian Qi cultivation and head-on resistance, with the other side’s deliberate defenses, Liu Hanyi probably wouldn’t be a match for Song Qiuchan for more than ten rounds.

But now, with that unrivaled Immortal Embryo Poison already in her system, Ye Ku saw Song Qiuchan’s actions as courting death.

However, aside from a few individuals, no one understood the Immortal Embryo Poison. They only knew Song Qiuchan was a late-stage Floating Life Realm master, while Liu Hanyi had just broken through to the early stage of the Floating Life Realm.

"Yun Xiao should step in to save her, right?"

Almost simultaneously, everyone had this thought in their minds and turned their gaze to the young man in rough clothes not far from Liu Hanyi.

Although these people didn’t know the deeper relationship between Liu Hanyi and Yun Xiao, they at least knew these two were good friends. Once, on Impermanence Island, they even fought side by side, so Yun Xiao had no reason to watch and do nothing.

But when everyone’s gaze turned to Yun Xiao, they saw this young man making no move, even with a barely discernible smile on his face, leaving everyone puzzled.

"It’s too late!"

An Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master sighed softly, making the others instantly clear about his meaning: Yun Xiao, even if he intervened at this moment, was already too late to save Song Qiuchan.

As for Song Qiuchan, the person involved, she was actually always on guard against Yun Xiao suddenly making a move. Compared to Liu Hanyi, at the early stage of the Floating Life Realm, in terms of Meridian Qi combat power, she undoubtedly feared Yun Xiao’s unconventional methods more.

Once, in the Nine Realms Poison Tower, due to her momentary underestimation and lack of defense, Song Qiuchan had an arm severed by Yun Xiao.

Perhaps even Song Qiuchan herself didn’t realize that after the trip to the Nine Realms Ten Thousand Towers, she had already developed a subtle psychological shadow towards the young boy whose cultivation was one small realm lower than her own.

However, as Song Qiuchan got closer to Liu Hanyi, her peripheral vision caught Yun Xiao standing still, not moving a single inch, and her heart was filled with joy.

"You ignorant brat, this time you will pay the price for your arrogance!"

At this moment, Song Qiuchan no longer cared about the consequences. She only knew that with her all-out strike, Liu Hanyi would have no chance to escape.

By then, taking the antidote and then actually killing this girl, she wondered what kind of expression Yun Xiao would show?

This was the wishful thinking in Song Qiuchan’s heart. She knew that the moment she struck, Lianyun Mountain would probably no longer tolerate her, so she might as well go all out and make that detestable boy suffer as much as possible!

Someone like Song Qiuchan could never have a trace of mercy, nor could she think from someone else’s perspective. She had made up her mind to escape after taking the antidote and killing Liu Hanyi, believing that as long as Lu Yanji didn’t intervene, others might not be able to catch up with her.

"Die!"

With these thoughts passing through her mind, Song Qiuchan was now only a few feet away from Liu Hanyi, able to sense the faint aura from the young girl.

"Alas, I originally intended to spare your life, but since you don’t want it, you can’t blame me!"

Just as Song Qiuchan’s shout faded, a sigh suddenly reached her ears, and then she saw the girl not far away gently clenching her right hand.

At that moment, Song Qiuchan was about to slash Liu Hanyi’s throat with her hand blade, certain that the girl would perish as soon as she did.

Song Qiuchan had even chosen her escape route, believing that once she killed Liu Hanyi, she could instantly grab her Waist Storage and flee swiftly in the vast world, free as a bird.

Little did she know that just as her wishful thinking began, the previously tolerable mutant poison suddenly exploded within her body.

The intense impact abruptly halted Song Qiuchan’s actions, replaced by a pale face and a constantly trembling figure.

"I... I..."

Feeling the explosive poison energy coursing through her body, Song Qiuchan’s face was filled with panic as she realized that her powerful Poison Meridian Skill was utterly ineffective against this special poison.

At this point, Song Qiuchan finally understood how Qi Feng had begged Liu Hanyi for mercy so quickly, a compromise after realizing he couldn’t resist.

Unfortunately, Song Qiuchan was not Qi Feng. This woman not only attacked Yun Xiao within the Nine Realms Poison Tower but also broke the conference rules to try and kill herself. How could Liu Hanyi show any mercy?

Under Liu Hanyi’s intentional activation, the Immortal Embryo Poison exploded completely, giving Song Qiuchan only two breaths of time before she couldn’t endure and collapsed to the ground.

A once proud and cold woman now rolled on the ground without regard for her image, eliciting mixed feelings from onlookers, although most wore expressions of schadenfreude.

Firstly, the Ghostly Poisonous Woman was notorious, with countless innocent cultivators perishing at her hands. Her high Meridian Qi cultivation and vicious methods made people wary of provoking her casually.

Secondly, all of this was Song Qiuchan’s own doing. Had she not broken the conference rules first or attacked Liu Hanyi, she wouldn’t face her current miserable fate.

In fact, Liu Hanyi hadn’t intended to take Song Qiuchan’s life at the start, merely to cripple her cultivation with the Immortal Embryo Poison.

This old woman had herself to blame for her demise, matching the old saying that those courting death end up dead. At this point, no one would blame Liu Hanyi, only attribute this to Song Qiuchan’s self-inflicted misfortune.

"Antidote... give... give me the antidote!"

The extreme pain within scattered all of Song Qiuchan’s pride, leaving her crawling weakly to Liu Hanyi, her speech slurred.

With Song Qiuchan’s limp grip on her skirt, Liu Hanyi’s expression remained unchanged as she squatted down, leaning in to softly speak into her ear.

"If you had provoked only me, I might have spared your life, but what made you think you could provoke him?"

The soft words exploded like thunder in Song Qiuchan’s ears, giving her a surge of energy as her gaze snapped towards a certain plain-clothed boy, filled with intense malice.

Only at the moment of her death did Song Qiuchan realize the true reason behind the young girl’s deep hatred for her; it was all because of that boy named Yun Xiao.
