Divine Transcendence

"The cold yin frost poison can freeze the dantian, then erode the meridians. After the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians are all poisoned, one will experience numbness in the limbs, stiff muscles throughout the body, and even the inability to move the throat, making it impossible to speak." Before Yuan Ming could say anything, Ba Da had already walked out with a sense of self-satisfaction.

"It’s you again, you..."

Before Yuan Ming could finish his sentence, his throat suddenly choked up, unable to make a sound. His raised hand also stiffened, with veins protruding on his arm, indicating that the poison had already spread through his meridians.

At this moment, Yuan Ming felt regretful. He blamed himself for being too eager to save others and let his guard down, failing to notice when these people had followed them.

Seeing that Yuan Ming couldn’t move, Ba Da took out a sharp knife and turned to Kun Tu, asking, "Should I disable his tendons first, then pierce his collarbone, leaving him a breath of air for you to slowly torture? Is that okay?"

"Sure, he killed the people from the Beast Slave Hall, and even the Third Hall Master can’t protect him. We don’t need to kill him secretly. Let’s take him back to the sect. Maybe we can get some benefits." Kun Tu nodded and smiled.

When Ba Da turned around, his face no longer had that harmless look. Instead, it was filled with resentment and hatred.

"Yuan, if it weren’t for you interfering, I would have controlled Chen Wan with medicine and made her my slave. Now that she has become an inner disciple, I have no chance anymore. It’s all your fault." Ba Da approached Yuan Ming step by step, accusing him of his "crimes."

Yuan Ming struggled to move his throat, seemingly wanting to say something, but he couldn’t make a sound no matter how hard he tried.

When the distance between the two of them was close enough, Ba Da suddenly heard a sigh. "Ah, I wanted to get rid of Kun Tu first, or at least Hu Huo. You unlucky fool brought this upon yourself."

Ba Da’s pupils suddenly contracted, quickly retreating.

However, Yuan Ming, who was lying on the ground, suddenly slapped the ground with his hand, and his whole body bounced up. The hand that had been hidden in his sleeve revealed itself, holding a crimson curved horn, which pierced Ba Da’s throat.

With a "chirp" sound, Ba Da didn’t even have time to react. He was directly pierced through the throat by the crimson curved horn, and blood gushed out.

He covered his throat with both hands, and blood continued to seep through his fingers. He took steps back, his mouth wide open in shock, wanting to say something, but his mouth was already filled with pink blood foam.

He hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, pulled out the stopper, and poured the powder inside onto the wound on his neck.

The loss of a large amount of blood caused his hands to tremble violently. A large amount of powder was scattered, but none of it fell on the horrifying wound.

Yuan Ming calmly watched this scene, tightly gripping the crimson curved horn. He absorbed a large amount of pure yang energy from it, neutralizing the last trace of cold yin frost poison in his body. With a sword in his other hand, he stepped forward and beheaded Ba Da.

This sudden change shocked Kun Tu and the others.

None of them had expected that Yuan Ming had a method to quickly remove Ba Da’s poison. They also didn’t expect that everything Yuan Ming had shown before was just a deception.

He had already removed the poison, but he pretended that the poison was intensifying step by step. If Ba Da hadn’t acted first, any one of them who approached him would have been defeated.

"Just with you useless people, you want to kill me? Have you ever considered your own abilities?" Yuan Ming kicked Ba Da’s head away and looked at Kun Tu and the others.

"You, very good!" Kun Tu narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Not bad, I’m doing great now. By the way, Kun Tu, you better be able to kill me this time, otherwise I will definitely take your head as a chamber pot." Yuan Ming mocked, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the distant mountains and forests.

Unable to bear Yuan Ming’s provocation any longer, Kun Tu immediately patted the head of the green wolf under him, urging it to chase after Yuan Ming.

Hu Huo also summoned his green falcon and jumped on it, flying into the sky, chasing after them.

The one-eyed woman and Wu Lu didn’t have their own spirit beasts, so they could only run as fast as they could, following behind.

However, before Wu Lu left, he glanced at Tu Ya and her daughter, shook his head, and said, "You’re all doomed. Run as far as you can."

Yuan Ming continuously used the Shadowless Step technique and quickly ran out of the village. After his figure disappeared into the mountains, he released a sigh of relief. He then used the Wood Concealment technique, leaning against a lush ancient tree.

At the same time, in the direction that the green wolf was chasing, a black raven flew with a torn piece of cloth in its mouth. It flew towards a distance.

After shaking off Kun Tu, Yuan Ming looked up and scanned the sky, but he didn’t see the figure of Elder Hu Huo. He immediately wanted to go back.

His purpose for this trip was to save Tu Ya and her daughter. He deliberately provoked Kun Tu to draw him away from them.

However, before he could take a few steps, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps. It was the one-eyed woman and Wu Lu chasing after him.

"They just won’t give up!"

Yuan Ming cursed and immediately leaned back against a towering ancient tree. He silently recited a mantra and activated the Wood Concealment technique.Accompanied by a burst of green light, his skin instantly revealed rough bark-like patterns. He seemed to merge with an ancient tree, becoming one with it, disappearing into the forest.

Before long, the one-eyed woman and Wu Lu appeared in Yuan Ming’s line of sight, one after the other.

Seeing only them and no one else, Yuan Ming immediately made a decision.

When the two approached, he let the one-eyed woman in front pass, and attacked Wu Lu who was following behind.

After killing Wu Lu, he would then catch up and kill the one-eyed woman.

He hid his figure, held his breath, and observed their movements. Just as the one-eyed woman was about to pass by, Wu Lu, who was following behind, suddenly called out to her to wait for him.

"Waste!" The one-eyed woman just glanced back and muttered a curse, then continued on her way.

Wu Lu stopped in his tracks at the insult, glaring resentfully at the woman.

"Hmph, running so fast, eager to die? And she dares to call me useless?" He muttered under his breath, then turned around and walked back the way he came.

This left Yuan Ming somewhat unprepared.

He had originally planned to kill Wu Lu first, but Wu Lu had turned back halfway.

While he was hesitating, the one-eyed woman had already reached him.

"Kill."

Yuan Ming steeled his heart, formed a hand seal, and his magical power began to circulate.

As the one-eyed woman took a step, a yellow halo suddenly lit up on the ground beside her. Three sharp wooden spikes in a "品" shape burst out from the ground, aiming straight at her body.

Her reaction was extremely quick. With a flick of her wrist, the whip coiled around her waist shot straight into the sky, piercing a thick branch above with a "thud".

Using the pull of the whip, she leapt up, avoiding the wooden spikes, and flew into the air.

Just as she was about to land on the branch, the surrounding branches and vines suddenly came to life like snakes, coiling towards her.

The one-eyed woman was already in mid-air, and the only thing she could use to leverage was the branch above.

Unfortunately, before she could change direction, the branch above softened like a noodle, twisted around the whip, and lifted her up.

Seeing the situation was unfavorable, she released her magical power from within her body. The barbs on the whip burst forth with a fierce power, instantly breaking the branch.

She fell towards the ground.

But before she could land, the surrounding vines and branches had already twisted together, forming a vine cage, trapping her in the center.

Seeing this, the one-eyed woman immediately took out a round, black iron ball from her sleeve. After infusing it with magical power, she threw it down.

At the same time, she curled up, her body glowing with a dark yellow light, as if she had cast some earth-based spell.

"Boom"

The next instant, a ball of fire exploded from below.

The converging vines had not yet fully formed the wooden cage when they were destroyed by this sudden burst of power, scattering in all directions.

"Earth Fire Thunder?" Yuan Ming frowned. He had seen other senior brothers refining it in the Fire Refining Hall.

The one-eyed woman was blasted upwards by the force, then fell towards the ground.

The yellow glow around her had long since dissipated, and her arms and back were burned to varying degrees, looking somewhat disheveled.

The moment she landed, she lashed out with her whip towards the empty space behind her, guarding against an attack from an unknown source.

However, the whip hit nothing but air, making a "snap" sound!

She didn’t dare to linger and immediately tried to run back.

But the moment she turned around, Yuan Ming’s figure emerged from the ancient tree. With a light tap of his toes, he silently executed the Shadowless Step, chasing after the one-eyed woman.

The latter felt a chill run down her spine. Without turning her head, the black wooden hairpin on her head was driven by magical power and shot back.

Yuan Ming ducked and charged forward, avoiding the black wooden hairpin. At the same time, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the Green Fish Sword appeared. He gripped it and thrust it forward, aiming straight for the one-eyed woman’s heart.
