316. Changes in the situation
As the pain gradually subsided, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something important and asked Little Fairy Doctor with concern, "You're all better now?"
When Xiao Yan arrived back, Xiao Yi Xian's condition was extremely poor. He never expected that she would still be able to cooperate with his offensive in the end.
"The strange fire is under control for now. As for the move just now, it was prepared long ago, but we just hadn't had a good opportunity."
Xiao Yan also relaxed: "I will help you control it as soon as I recover." If Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body were to erupt, it would be no joke. There has never been a case of a Dou Zun-level Calamity Poison Body going out of control on the continent. No one knows what the consequences would be.
Little Fairy Doctor blinked her long, curved eyelashes and cautiously asked, "Why were you working so hard just now? Wouldn't it have been enough to just hold them off?"
As soon as Little Fairy Doctor asked the question, she immediately lowered her head, a charming blush spreading across her pretty face. At the same time, she placed her hand on Xiao Yan's neck, ensuring he wouldn't suddenly turn around and see her expression. She had heard Xiao Yan's response to Thunder Venerable perfectly clearly, and naturally felt delighted to be protected, along with a touch of smugness.
Xiao Yan replied solemnly, "The battle situation is not optimistic. My achievements here will deter many people!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Little Fairy Doctor's anticipation vanished instantly. Her brows furrowed, and she huffed, "Hmm, you certainly have a good grasp of the bigger picture! Are you done yet? Stand still!"
Despite saying that, Little Fairy Doctor didn't just leave. However, the overall situation did change as Xiao Yan had said, because his killing of Thunder Venerable and reducing Yellow Spring Venerable to only a soul had caused a huge change.
With their respective leaders suffering unprecedented losses, the disciples of Wind and Thunder Pavilion and Yellow Springs Pavilion retreated as quickly as possible. Now, only the people of Ice River Valley truly stand against the disciples of Starfall Pavilion. Of course, even so, the people of Ice River Valley are far stronger than those of Starfall Pavilion. Starfall Pavilion's disciples were already few in number, and with today's losses, they naturally couldn't compare to Ice River Valley. However, Ice River Valley dared not continue its fierce attack, and both sides maintained a superficial peace. The reason Ice River Valley didn't attack was simple: the other side had two Dou Zun!
Venerable Wind and Venerable Iron Sword were indeed greatly depleted; Venerable Iron Sword even had only his right hand left. However, both were genuine Dou Zun powerhouses. Many Dou Zong elders of Ice River Valley dared not lead their men forward. The fact that their two allies had already retreated was a huge blow to morale. Sending their disciples to their deaths now was not a wise move.
Fortunately, Starfall Pavilion also lacked the strength to retaliate, so they simply distanced themselves and waited for the outcome at the Dou Zun level.
Meanwhile, the battle above remained intense, with Mu Zier struggling against the two Dou Zun from Ice River Valley. She was only a one-star Dou Zun, while the two Ice River Valley Dou Zun had years of experience cooperating, their teamwork exceptional. Mu Zier, relying on the powerful body and speed of her magical beast, continued to maneuver. Although she had already fallen into a disadvantageous position, a complete defeat in the short term was impossible.
On the other side, the situation had become one-sided. Ice Venerable was a genuine peak five-star Dou Zun, and his combat strength was well preserved. Mu Xinyuan and Wind Venerable were both outstanding four-star Dou Zun, but unfortunately, they appeared one after the other. If they attacked together, Ice Venerable would undoubtedly be defeated. However, when they faced each other separately, Ice Venerable firmly controlled the situation both times!
Ice Valley has a penchant for collecting unusual human constitutions, which they then transfer to other areas. The Ice Venerable, as the Valley Master, also possesses an extraordinary constitution—an artificially created Calamity Poison Body—which puts Mu Xinyuan at a disadvantage. His aggressive, sweeping fighting style is indeed somewhat ineffective against the pervasive poison gas.
However, Ice Venerable was even more furious at this moment. He was cursing Yellow Spring Venerable and Thunder Venerable fiercely. Two against one, they had been defeated by a mere Dou Zong level brat, resulting in one death and one serious injury, forcing them to flee for their lives. Such a record could not be simply described as shameful.
What should have been a sure thing turned into a series of unpredictable events due to the actions of these two seemingly useless individuals. However, his thirst for the Calamity Poison Body was simply too intense! His own Calamity Poison Body was, after all, acquired, and far inferior to the innate kind. If he could obtain the innate Calamity Poison Body of Little Fairy Doctor, a Dou Zun-level being, his strength would definitely experience a leap forward! At that time, the strength of Ice River Valley would be far beyond what it is now!
Unlike Venerable Huangquan and Venerable Lei, who only wanted to curry favor with the Soul Palace, Venerable Bing always considered himself merely a collaborator of the Soul Palace. His true goal was not to please the Soul Palace; he only cared about the Calamity Poison Body!
Obtaining the Calamity Poison Body has become significantly more difficult, but he shows no sign of retreating. While it appears his side only has three Dou Zun fighters left, and the enemy still has six, in reality, Venerable Wind, Venerable Iron Sword, the Calamity Poison Woman, and that kid named Xiao Yan are all incapable of continuing to fight. The real challenge lies with the two members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and his own strength remains the strongest at present!
"In the end, we still have to rely on the real deal!" Ice Venerable sneered.
The aura of a peak five-star Dou Zun was fully unleashed, and a sudden blizzard descended, the falling snowflakes concealing hidden killing intent. The seemingly delicate snowflakes were all condensed from the Ice Venerable's pure Dou Qi, capable of killing without a trace!
Mu Xinyuan was far from relaxed either. After all, the Ice Venerable was a veteran Dou Zun powerhouse from Zhongzhou, and he also possessed the troublesome Calamity Poison Body. During their long battle, a considerable amount of toxins had entered his body, but he had forcibly suppressed them all using his Dou Qi.
After the snowflakes controlled by the Ice Venerable fell, he swung his iron fist, shattering all the snowflakes that tried to get close. However, several bloody cuts also appeared on Mu Xinyuan's iron fist. Mu Xinyuan frowned deeply. His iron fists had been tempered for many years, and their hardness was in no way inferior to that of ordinary high-grade weapons. This was the first time his fists had been injured!
The Ice Venerable also smiled slightly: "Mu Xinyuan, I have no interest in killing you. Hand over the Calamity Poison Body and Xiao Yan, and my Ice River Valley will leave immediately."
The Celestial Phoenix Clan is also a major problem. Although they can't compare to the three most famous magical beasts in the Warcraft world, their strength is far greater than that of Ice River Valley. The Ice Venerable is unwilling to kill Mu Xinyuan and his companion, lest the Celestial Phoenix Clan fight Ice River Valley to the death! Beast clans are extremely protective of their members, and it's not uncommon for them to go mad for their clan members.
"What a joke! The people I, Mu Xinyuan, am protecting are none of your business!"
