328. Sneak Attack Plot
Tang Qiying wanted to leave temporarily, but his hands were immediately restrained by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan had initially traded physical injury for this short period of control, something Tang Qiying never expected! Similarly, Xiao Yan's resoluteness made it impossible for him to escape even in a short time.
"Since you can't break free, then I'll kill you!" Tang Qiying was also ruthless and decisive, and now was not the time to drag things out!
Even as his short blade sliced towards Xiao Yan's heart, Xiao Yan showed no sign of letting go. Crimson flames surged from his hands, yet Xiao Yan's grip remained steady and unwavering!
The two were locked in a fierce battle of energies, and Tang Qiying still held the upper hand throughout the process! He even felt his short blade pierce Xiao Yan's heart, while Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with unwavering determination, and his grip on Xiao Yan's hand remained firm.
"You're a real madman when it comes to fighting!"
Then, Tang Qiying felt a sudden, excruciating pain in his back! His clothes were pierced through, and large patches of flesh on his back began to rot and decay. At the same time, a strange aura rushed towards Tang Qiying's heart, and his mind instantly went into a frenzy of alertness: It's poison!
Tang Qiying arrived quickly, even infiltrating the Starfall Pavilion directly thanks to his familiarity with Chen Wei's formation. However, this also meant he hadn't gained much information about Xiao Yan and was unaware that Little Fairy Doctor was an equally formidable opponent. Little Fairy Doctor hadn't made a move, and with Mu Yaoyin's suppressive aura binding her, coupled with Xiao Yan's constant protection, Tang Qiying mistakenly believed she was someone he didn't need to focus on. He reasoned that if he got into trouble, she could distract Xiao Yan, but if he completely suppressed him, he could relax his guard!
Little Fairy Doctor's attack method was also very simple. Since she was completely unable to use her battle qi, the simplest attack method was her own blood! As the Calamity Poison Body continued to grow, it had already penetrated deep into Little Fairy Doctor's body and marrow. Little Fairy Doctor's blood itself had become the most potent and terrifying poison!
Tang Qiying himself had a considerable understanding of poisons in order to enhance his combat power, but the poison in his body still alarmed him! He immediately used his battle qi to suppress it, as allowing the poison to penetrate deep into his body was definitely not good news!
However, Tang Qiying hadn't lost his composure. The Dou Qi of a Dou Zun level was incredibly powerful. Although Little Fairy Doctor's blood was extremely poisonous, without her using Dou Qi to activate it, it would eventually weaken, and Tang Qiying immediately subdued it. At the same time, Tang Qiying felt a burning pain in his arm, and a violent inner fire ignited within him. For a brief moment, he even lost control of his body; this inner fire was truly terrifying!
Xiao Yan looked at Tang Qiying, whose body was completely red. He had never seen such a violent reaction of karmic fire before. Tang Qiying's condition was even worse than it appeared. Poison and fire, two completely different energies, were constantly churning within his body. The Calamity Poison Body and the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire were both rare treasures of heaven and earth, and now, working together, they were actually complementing each other!
Rings of yellow light spread out from Tang Qiying's heart, and the thick earth-attribute battle qi slowly took effect. Tang Qiying controlled the battle qi within his body to suppress the rising heart fire, and the toxins were also intercepted and sealed by the earth-attribute battle qi flowing into his body. Azure light began to emerge continuously from his right chest, and life force was constantly being renewed. The rotten flesh on Tang Qiying's back was also constantly regenerating, and after regeneration, it would rot again due to the entrenched calamity toxins, and then regenerate again. This process repeated itself continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Little Fairy Doctor was also somewhat surprised by Tang Qiying's condition. In just five breaths, Tang Qiying had already stabilized his body again! She and Xiao Yan had put in a lot of effort to plan this attack, and it seemed to have worked, but it was not fatal at all.
"This guy was just playing around earlier, he hasn't really gotten serious yet?" Little Fairy Doctor thought to herself.
Tang Qiying planted his body in the array, making him impervious to ordinary attacks. If it weren't for his lack of experience fighting both the Strange Fire and the Calamity Poison Body, he would never have been so easily defeated by Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan. However, as he gained control of his formation and body, he eventually suppressed the two major chaotic factors within him. The Heart Fire was extinguished, and while the Calamity Poison wasn't completely eliminated, it was contained within a limited range.
To Tang Qiying's surprise, during the time he controlled his body, Xiao Yan and the other seemed to have been waiting on the sidelines, without taking the opportunity to launch another attack. This was definitely not good news, so before the Calamity Poison Body was completely cleared, Tang Qiying immediately turned his attention back to Xiao Yan.
Immediately, a palm-sized, exquisitely beautiful lotus flower appeared in Xiao Yan's hand, its petals interwoven with blood-red, sea-blue, and pale cyan flames. The occasional bursts of flame energy emanating from it were enough to shatter the very space around them!
Xiao Yan also took advantage of the time that Tang Qiying controlled her body after the attack to fuse with the Buddha's Fury Lotus. With the improvement of his strength, the fusion of the lotus was no longer as difficult as it used to be.
"Xiao Yan, you really know how to cause trouble," Tang Qiying remarked.
"You will die from this attack today!" Xiao Yan roared, pushing the fire lotus in his hand out horizontally. The fire lotus was not fast, but the suppressed power before it exploded was enough to make people tremble with fear!
"If this is all you're relying on, then you're just too naive!" Tang Qiying seemed to feel sorry for Xiao Yan, and the short blade in his hand became extremely unstable as the battle qi of blue, black and red fused together.
At this moment, Tang Qiying swung his hands up and down, and it seemed as if his fighting spirit had found an outlet to gullify. A slash was unleashed horizontally, cutting through the space itself.
What seemed like a simple and ordinary strike was actually terrifyingly sharp; the black slash cut straight at Xiao Yan's fire lotus.
Tang Qiying sneered, "So what if it's a full-force attack? Can it still break through my defenses?"
At this critical moment, Tang Qiying suddenly noticed that the spiraling fire lotus suddenly changed direction and bypassed his attack!
