Although Lin Feng had used his soul power to conceal his true cultivation level at the moment, just from the fact that he could stand midair, Granny Yin could still roughly guess his general rank.

"Heh… An Eight-Star Dou Zong, plus two at peak Seven-Star Dou Zong. Not a bad lineup. But if you think this is enough to kill me—well, you're still far from it."

Faced with the old hag's arrogant words, Lin Feng merely smiled lightly and responded casually.

With just him and Xiao Yixian, this enemy trio was already manageable.

Not to mention, he still had Tian Huo Zun Zhe and two puppets at peak Seven-Star Dou Zong level.

His calm demeanor seemed to deeply offend Granny Yin—she clearly felt insulted.

She didn't believe for a second that a newly advanced Dou Zong and a Six-Star Dou Zong could possibly survive the joint assault of the three of them.

Staring coldly at Lin Feng, her voice hissed with venomous contempt: "Sharp tongue! So what if you're a seventh-tier alchemist? I've seen plenty like you. Today, now that you've left the territory of the Gold Swallowing Mouse Clan, let's see how a mere newbie Dou Zong fights against us!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a violent aura laced with killing intent surged out from her body.

At the same time, faint, nearly undetectable wisps of invisible poison gas—enough to kill a low-level Dou Zong—silently spread from her body and surged toward Lin Feng.

"Poison tricks don't work on me."

Sensing something off in the air, Lin Feng instantly summoned the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame from within.

In a burst of fiery light, the raging flame devoured the hidden streams of invisible poison, turning them into nothingness.

With the threat neutralized, Lin Feng chuckled faintly.

"Old hag, your actions are only making me more curious about the origin of that Dou Technique scroll."

Compared to the Northwestern Region, the Central Plains were far more prosperous.

Here, even a High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique wasn't all that rare. A high-level Dou Zong, with time and effort, could obtain one.

Whether they had the qualifications to trade for it was another matter—but regardless, cultivators at this level typically wouldn't risk their lives ambushing a seventh-tier alchemist over such a scroll.

After all, no one could be certain what kind of terrifying background such a high-level alchemist might have.

So for this group to make such a risky move—it was clear that there was more to that scroll than met the eye.

Lin Feng was now sure that this Dou Technique was hiding some deeper secret.

It was the only reason someone from Myriad Poison Sect, like this old witch, would go so far.

"The dead don't need to know that much!"

Granny Yin snorted coldly. With a fierce stomp of her staff, a sea-like wave of dark green poison mist surged out from her body, rolling toward the sky where Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian stood.

"Xiao Yixian! That old hag is yours. Leave the other two Seven-Star Dou Zong to me."

Seeing the massive cloud of poison mist sweeping in, Lin Feng quickly gave the order to the silver-haired beauty beside him.

This time, he had no intention of using his puppets to speed up the battle.

After just breaking through, what he needed was a good test of his strength—and these two were perfect sparring partners.

"No problem. Just focus on dealing with those two."

Xiao Yixian gave a soft nod, her delicate face calm and confident.

Suddenly, a massive surge of dark green flame erupted from her body.

The flame twisted into a spiraling tornado, a dark green firestorm that shot directly toward the incoming poison fog!

Before this battle, Lin Feng had already passed that High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique scroll to her.

On top of that, she also possessed Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, a secret technique capable of temporarily boosting her combat power.

What's more, her Woeful Poison Body, combined with the Ghostly Poison Flame, made her a natural nemesis to poison-type cultivators.

With all these advantages on her side—if she still couldn't fight one star above her level—then she might as well just kill herself and be done with it.

"Chii—chii—!"

As the scorching flames collided with the poisonous mists, sizzling sounds echoed across the sky, loud and sharp.

The dark green poisonous fog began to dissolve rapidly upon contact with the swirling flames.

The poisons within were instantly drawn out and devoured, severely weakening the mist's potency.

Moments later, it was entirely incinerated by the terrifying heat of the Heavenly Flame.

"That flame… is that… the Ghostly Poison Flame?!"

Granny Yin's face twisted in shock as she stared at the vast, sweeping dark green flames in the sky.

She had cultivated for decades and was well-versed in all sorts of knowledge. With a single glance, she recognized the terrifying temperature and color of the flame—it was the Ghostly Poison Flame, ranked twentieth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

"Hehehe… Who would've thought I'd get so lucky today? Came for a High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique, and ended up running into one of the Heavenly Flames too."

Her murky eyes immediately gleamed with intense greed as she stared at the flame dancing in Xiao Yixian's palm.

The Ghostly Poison Flame was practically a holy grail for poison cultivators.

Not only could it absorb poisonous energy from within one's own body—preventing backlash from poison-based techniques—it could also unleash devastating temperature and venom against enemies in combat.

"Hmph. That depends on whether you have what it takes to claim it."

Sensing the unrestrained desire in the old hag's gaze, Xiao Yixian snorted coldly.

As she spoke, the Ghostly Poison Flame within her began to surge violently, following a special route through her meridians.

Her aura began to fluctuate faintly, climbing with rising intensity.

"Skyfire Three Mysterious Change—Ghostly Shift!"

With a crisp cry in her heart, the Heavenly Flame inside her suddenly erupted with explosive, searing power!

Her peak Seven-Star Dou Zong aura surged upward like a raging tide—and in the blink of an eye, she had broken through to the level of an Eight-Star Dou Zong!

"A secret technique?!"

Granny Yin's eyes narrowed in shock as she felt the pressure emanating from Xiao Yixian rise to nearly match her own.

A trace of panic flashed across her dark green pupils.

Now, the two of them were practically equal in terms of Dou Qi strength.

But with a Heavenly Flame in play, the tide could easily turn—and she might actually be the one to fall.

However, as her gaze swept over the two Seven-Star Dou Zong elders facing off against Lin Feng, her unease subsided slightly.

As long as those two managed to kill the brat, and she could stall this girl until her secret technique wore off—when the rebound hit and she became weak—she didn't believe that this little girl could still hold her ground against three Dou Zong experts.

"Devouring Poison Demon Hand!"

While Granny Yin was still analyzing the battlefield, a sharp cry rang out from above.

Xiao Yixian's slender jade-like hand suddenly swept forward.

An enormous surge of dense, dark green flame erupted around her like a storm.

In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a gigantic, poison-flame hand, roaring toward Granny Yin with terrifying speed!

"Poison Yin Dou Qi!"

Seeing the incoming fire-hand, Granny Yin thrust out her withered palm, her bony fingers curling toward the center.

A surge of dark green Dou Qi rushed toward her hand, compressing rapidly.

In moments, it formed into a dense black sphere of Dou Qi, radiating malice and chilling energy.

As soon as the black energy orb appeared, the moisture in the surrounding air condensed into shimmering ice crystals.

"Go!"

With a raspy shout, Granny Yin hurled the orb straight at the fire-formed giant hand.
