Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 313 Helping Others and Oneself
Lan Zhenzhen had no idea how Yun Yi was criticizing her. She only felt that victory was within her grasp. With the addition of the demon beast Fei Fei, even if Wen Dao Xian Li Di He Dao, he would still be no match for her.

As for why she said so much "nonsense," she actually had her own difficulties.

Wen Daoxian himself is not to be feared, but the Wen family behind him is a behemoth. The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect may not be afraid of him, but it does not want to make an enemy of him for no reason.

As for demanding the Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship, Lan Zhenxin was just saying it casually, hoping that Wen Daozhi would back down and give both sides a way out.

Unfortunately, this person was of a fierce temperament and actually planned to fight to the death.

No wonder my aunt went on a killing spree. So what if you offended the Wen family? If you dare to show yourself and take revenge, I will poison you all!
Do you really think everyone in the Demonic Sect is as easy to talk to as Yun Yi?

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and gently shook the Seven Poison Bracelet. The giant, pitch-black python beneath her feet opened its massive mouth and spewed out a large amount of poisonous gas.

This poisonous gas was not only extremely toxic, but it also blotted out the sun, instantly turning the place into a dark place, fraught with danger.

The Envoy of Colors summoned his willow-leaf armor, transforming it into a small array that enveloped his three companions, shielding them from the pervasive poisonous gas.

Wen Daoxian gently closed his eyes, stood with his sword at the ready, his cloak fluttering even without wind, protecting the remaining Color Envoy and Qi Envoy behind him.

Lan Zhenxin deftly controlled the poison gas, directing it towards the three people in front of her. Then, she smiled and looked at Yun Yi: "After I deal with them, we can go outside and have a proper chat."

Yun Yi simply smiled and remained silent.

He didn't think Wen Daoxian would be defeated so easily.

Lan Zhen thought, "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?" and ordered the giant python to rush into the poisonous gas. Its black body instantly merged with the black mist and became impossible to see.

Clearly, she felt that this monster was already enough to make Wen Daoxian suffer greatly.

Unexpectedly, a flash of light appeared, cutting a path through the poisonous gas and simultaneously splitting the giant python in front of them in two from head to tail.

Wen Dao first bathed in snake blood, appearing as if he were a demon incarnate. Taking advantage of his current high level of power, he charged directly at Lan Zhenxin with the Big Dipper Blade in hand.

They actually intend to use their Void Returning Realm cultivation to directly confront the Dao Realm!
Lan Zhenxin remained calm and composed. With a wave of her hand, a giant scorpion emerged from the ground.

The scorpion's carapace was golden and impervious to swords and blades; when Wen Daoxian struck it with his sword, it only left a shallow mark.

He caught his breath, then took another deep breath and stepped on the scorpion's back to continue approaching Lan Zhenxin.

I really don't believe it. Even if there's a huge difference in our cultivation levels, do you think I can't hurt you even if I risk my life?
Seeing this, the Color Envoy immediately stepped in to help entangle the scorpion that was trying to turn over, while the Qi Envoy shifted slightly, deliberately hiding his figure behind Wen Daoxian.

It happened to be Lan Zhenxin's blind spot.

Unfortunately, given the absolute disparity in strength, all tricks were in vain.

Lan Zhenxin, facing the powerful downward strike of the Big Dipper Blade, simply used the Seven Poison Bracelet to lightly block it, preventing Wen Daoxian and his blade from advancing any further.

Wen Dao gritted his teeth and got closer to his target than ever before, thinking that if he put in a little more effort, the blade could cleave the woman in front of him in two.

He gripped the knife with both hands and pressed down with all his might, unaware that a scorpion's tail was raised high behind him, its poisoned needle pointing directly at him.

The envoy cried out anxiously, "Alliance Leader, be careful!"

It's too late, far too late!

The scorpion's tail pierced Wen Daoxian's heart from behind with lightning speed, and the venom was quickly injected, flowing into his limbs and bones, causing his skin to visibly turn a bluish-black color.

Lan Zhenxin laughed and said, "Overestimating yourself."

She raised her hand and knocked the Big Dipper Blade away, then decided to give Wen Daoxian a quick death.

Unexpectedly, at that moment a sword light suddenly appeared from behind Wen Daoxian like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye it silently passed through his body. Then, the sword's momentum did not diminish and continued to kill Lan Zhenxin, who was only inches away.

Yun Yi finally saw the "Qi Envoy" make a move and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he supported Wen Daoxian more, but he felt that the Great Wind Alliance had finally revealed a trump card. It was fortunate that Lan Zhenxin had drawn out this sword strike; otherwise, if he had faced this move himself, he would have been doomed.

This is because this sword strike is not the kind of imposing force one would expect from a Void Returning Realm cultivator.

It wasn't a sword strike from the Dao Integration Realm that Qin Dingfeng's toothless old servant forcibly delivered.

It is a genuine Dao-Harmony Realm, just like the myriad sword techniques of the Zongheng Tower in the painting, all of which are exquisite moves personally comprehended by swordsmen.

Although Lan Zhen was anxious and noticed something, her vision was blocked by "Wen Dao Xian", thus losing the initiative.

For a master, life and death are separated by the blink of an eye.

The sword pierced through Wen Daoxian's body and approached Lan Zhenxin, forcing her to retreat quickly.

She caught her breath and quickly formed a hand seal. A golden toad appeared behind her, opened its huge mouth, stuck out its tongue, and swallowed its master whole.

Then the golden toad puffed up its skin, as if transforming into a ball, using its flesh and blood to withstand that astonishing sword strike.

hiss!
The sword left a mark, and a bloodstain appeared on the golden toad's forehead, spreading all the way down to its large belly.

The colorful entrails spilled onto the ground, revealing Lan Zhenxin hidden among them.

Fortunately, she had prepared in advance and did not get tainted by the filth.

It's a pity about this golden toad; I've raised it for many years.

Lan Zhenxin emerged from the hill-like corpse of the golden toad and looked toward the source of the sword light, toward the Qi Shi who had been pitifully quiet from beginning to end.

And Wen Daoxian, who had been pierced in the heart by a scorpion's stinger and then pierced through by a sword, looked lifeless.

She laughed and said, "You've hidden it well!"

The "Qi Envoy" sheathed his sword, and with a wave of his hand, the Big Dipper Blade that had just been knocked aside flew over immediately.

He ignored Lan Zhenxin and asked Yun Yi first, "How was that sword just now?"

Yun Yi exclaimed, "It has no shadow or trace, and no killing intent, yet it is a sword aura that is meant to kill. This is truly a contradiction."

"Qi Shi" laughed and said, "Indeed, we can be kindred spirits. My sword has no killing intent because I have no intention to kill her. Life is like sailing on a sea of ​​suffering, and I only want to help her escape from this sea of ​​suffering, nothing more."

"It's not about killing, it's about helping people."

"Saving others and saving oneself are both within the sword."

Yun Yi asked, "How should I address you? Qi Shi? Or... Wen Dao Xian?"

The tall swordsman smiled nonchalantly: "The Qi Master is dead, so I will naturally be the one to hear the Dao first."

Yun Yi thought to himself that this was truly unexpected. He had guessed that the Great Wind Alliance had many hidden tricks up its sleeve, but he had never doubted Wen Daoxian's true identity.

No wonder Qi Shi was always so polite to me and never made a move after entering the Demon Capital. It turns out that this person is the real Wen Dao Xian.

He is also a genuine Dao Integration Realm expert.

The Color Envoy was clearly unaware of this matter, his gaze shifting back and forth between the living Qi Envoy and the dead "Qi Envoy," unable to distinguish for a moment which one was the one who had heard the Dao.

All he knew was that before he, the Wine Envoy, and the Wealth Envoy joined the Great Wind Alliance, the Qi Envoy had already been serving as a bodyguard for Alliance Leader Wen.

Unexpectedly, the identities of these two had already been switched before the Great Wind Alliance was even created.
