Chapter 239: Xiao Yi Xian's Defection!

"Ah~"

Seeing Yun Tianming appear to notice her and fly towards her, Xiao Yi Xian instinctively retreated in panic.

"Xiao Yi Xian, long time no see."

Yun Tianming's figure flickered a few times, landing amidst the hundreds of thousands of troops of the allied forces of four nations, and walked towards the figure in a white-haired purple robe as if no one else was present.

"You, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Xiao Yi Xian covered her face with her hand, her cool voice trembling slightly.

"Mistaken you for whom?"

With a teasing smile, Yun Tianming quickly approached and grabbed her small, jade-like hand.

"Wait! You can't touch me!!"

Xiao Yi Xian was shocked and hastily tried to pull away from him. The Poison Sect followers nearby, shocked at first, then sneered, "Who is this brazen fool, daring to approach the Sect Master? He'll soon die from the poison!"

The Woeful Poison Body was known for its lethal toxins; even getting close could poison someone, let alone touching. Anyone below the Dou Ancestor level would surely die from contact.

As Yun Tianming held her hand, a gray-purple toxin appeared on his palm and spread rapidly.

"Let go of me quickly, once the poison enters your organs, it'll be too late!" Xiao Yi Xian shouted urgently, but Yun Tianming ignored her and continued to hold her hand tightly.

"Xiao Yi Xian, who do you think I am?"

"This level of poison can't harm me."

A cyan-blue Heavenly Flame power emerged from Yun Tianming's hand, enveloping the poison and burning it away within seconds.

Xiao Yi Xian widened her eyes, and the once dim look in them seemed to regain its sparkle at that moment.

How many years had it been? Since she fully awakened the power of the Woeful Poison Body, everyone who came near her would lose their lives. Even members of the Poison Sect feared and revered her.

While she was lost in thought, Yun Tianming reached out and removed her veil.

A fair and delicate face appeared before him, and Yun Tianming paused momentarily before turning away.

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

"Thud~"

He was suddenly hugged from behind, a soft sensation causing his heart to stir.

"Mr.Yun, it's me!"

"I'm Xiao Yi Xian!"

Xiao Yi Xian was visibly emotional, clinging to him tightly as if afraid he would leave.

"Hmm~ The impoverished girl from back then has grown into quite a captivating lady," he remarked.

Yun Tianming turned his head and smiled as he observed the tall, curvaceous white-haired woman in front of him.

The girl version of Xiao Yi Xian, no! The mature woman version of Xiao Yi Xian is unbeatable!

"You, you're teasing me! Still the same, always liking to play tricks on people!"

Xiao Yi Xian was initially stunned, then quickly realized what was happening, glaring at him angrily.

Seeing their playful banter and intimate gestures, everyone on the battlefield was stunned.

"Is this still the cold and ruthless Sect Master?"

The members of the Poison Sect were bewildered.

"Hey, hey, hey! Heavenly Poison girl, what are you doing?"

Yan Luotian was furious when he saw this. In the midst of a battle, were they acting out a drama?

"Hmph! It's none of your business!"

The joyful reunion was interrupted, leaving Xiao Yi Xian visibly angry, her eyes flashing with a murderous glint.

"Whoosh!"

Yan Luotian quickly retreated, flapping his golden wings, and asked with an unpleasant expression, "Poison Sect Master, what do you mean by this?"

"Xiao Yi Xian, step back for now," Yun Tianming said, patting her shoulder and giving her a reassuring look. "We'll talk later."

"Mr.Yun, be careful," Xiao Yi Xian said hesitantly, glancing at the chaotic battlefield. She then issued a command, "The Poison Sect will withdraw from this war!"

"Sect Master, this..."

"Alright," the Poison Sect members reluctantly agreed, under Xiao Yi Xian's cold gaze.

Along with them, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Chu Yun Empire also withdrew.

"Damn that Heavenly Poison woman, controlling most of the Chu Yun Empire's army without us even realizing it," Xie Bi Yan muttered with resentment. The Chu Yun Empire's power had always been led by the Ten Thousand Scorpions Gate, but the strong rise of the Poison Sect had seriously undermined the Ten Thousand Scorpions Gate's dominant position.

Xiao Yi Xian's sudden shift in stance brought considerable pressure. Within the Poison Sect and among the tens of thousands of Chu Yun Empire soldiers, there was significant opposition. However, due to fear of Xiao Yi Xian's terrifying power, they did not dare to act rashly. Nonetheless, expecting them to suddenly turn against the allied forces of the four nations was asking too much. Xiao Yi Xian would be unable to participate in the upcoming battle.

"What are you all standing around for? Kill him!!" Yan Luotian commanded, prompting the Gold Geese Sect to launch the first attack.

"Attack together!"

Under the command of Jia Xing Tian, Xie Bi Yan, and the Mulan Three Elders, over 300,000 troops surged forward like a dark wave.

"What's the use of more ants?" Yun Tianming waved his hand, summoning a blue flame that formed into a dragon. The soldiers who came near were instantly reduced to ashes. Even minor leaders with Dou Grandmaster-level strength couldn't withstand it with their Dou Qi Armor for more than two seconds, also being incinerated. In moments, thousands perished under the Heavenly Flame.

Dou King experts used their Dou Qi Wings to fly into the sky, avoiding the Heavenly Flame while launching counterattacks at Yun Tianming.

"Roar of a Hundred Beasts!"

Yun Tianming unleashed an Earth Rank Low Level Sound Wave Dou Technique, a technique he hadn't used in a long time. Having previously consumed the Eighth Grade Pill: Void Dragon Core (an enhanced version of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill), his body had integrated some of the Ancient Void Dragon's bloodline, adding a dragon's roar effect to the Sound Wave Dou Technique.

"Roar!!!"

The Sound Wave Dou Technique, an effective area attack skill, caused the Dou Qi Wings of over a dozen Dou King experts in the sky to dissipate, sending them plummeting to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

Seizing the moment, Yun Tianming spread his wings and flew into the sky, aiming to return to the Misty Cloud Sect's position.

"Stop!"

The Mulan Three Elders simultaneously launched an attack. Their peak Dou Emperor Dou Qi surged upward, merging through the "Three Beast Savage Skill" Qi Method to deliver a powerful strike comparable to that of a Dou Ancestor.

Yun Tianming didn't back down. He chose to confront the attack head-on, gathering blue flames in his hands, which quickly formed into a Divine Halberd.

"Boiling Sea Divine Halberd!"

This Earth Rank Mid Level Dou Technique, enhanced by the Jade Ocean Lotus Heart Fire, unleashed a tremendous power.

"Boom!!"

Amidst the resounding energy storm, the Mulan Three Elders were blown away first. Witnessing this, everyone was utterly astonished.

"Impossible!"

"That guy repelled the Mulan Three Elders all by himself?!"

Yun Tianming staggered back a few steps, feeling a surge of Blood Qi within him. Before he could catch his breath, a sudden rush of wind sounded beside him.

"Heavenly Geese Nine Winged Slash!"

Yan Luotian used his metal wings to form nine razor-sharp feather blades, all aimed at Yun Tianming.

"Soaring Phoenix!"

Yun Tianming reinforced his Dark Feather Wings with the Heavenly Flame, but this time, instead of attacking, he gathered them around himself to protect his body.
