He managed to avoid his heart,

With a splash, the shadow needle pierced into his shoulder.

Huff~

Elder Qiu let out a breath, his frightened soul pulling back. Fortunately, if the needle had hit his heart, he wouldn't be alive.

But the next moment,

A numb swelling sensation rapidly spread from Elder Qiu's right shoulder, making half of his body unresponsive, and purple spots appeared on his neck.

He glared at Chen Yi in outrage:

"You little bastard! You actually poisoned the needle!"

"Old bastard, you were the one who used poison first!"

Chen Yi took advantage of the moment the young lady broke his turtle shell and successfully used the hidden weapon.

Unfortunately, his shadow needle was just a low-grade magical instrument he bought at the Mountain Villa Trade Fair.

The poison he applied, learned from Elder Liu, might work well against early and mid-stage Qi Cultivators. However, it was certainly not enough against Elder Qiu, a late-stage Qi Cultivation Pill Alchemist.

After getting pricked by the needle, Elder Qiu quickly retrieved the rope and ruler magical instruments, and swallowed several antidote pills, barely suppressing the poison.

Of course, half of his body couldn't move for a while, which significantly affected his mana.

"You cunning little beast! Zhao Family will be ruined by you sooner or later."

Elder Qiu was raging. He drew a speed talisman for himself, intending to quickly put distance between him and Chen Yi.

"Hmph! Want to race?"

Chen Yi put away his Copper-Gold Bell, drew a speed talisman for himself, executed Vajra Eight Steps, and quickly caught up.

"Miss, try to use less mana. As two body cultivators, let's deal with him in close combat. An old geezer like him won't be able to run far!"

Right now, Chen Yi's speed, a combination of second layer body cultivation, advanced body technique, and a speed talisman, was comparable to the speed of a third layer body cultivator.

He rapidly charged forward, engaging Elder Qiu, while the young lady followed using her body technique. After delivering that last hit, she had been so poisoned by the Hundred Spirit Decay that most of her meridians were affected, leaving her unable to cast any mana.

She could only use her strength as a first layer Body Cultivator to assist Chen Yi.

Bang! Bang!

Both of them were body cultivators, and Elder Qiu absolutely didn't dare to let them get close. While running, he hastily launched his Silver Ruler to block Chen Yi.

He also painfully commanded his injured Purple Mink to make a move.

The Silver Ruler was shattered by several punches from Chen Yi and couldn't rise again.

The Purple Mink also suffered from a few heavy kicks from Chen Yi, barely burrowing into the ground. It was seriously injured and refused to come out no matter what.

Seeing the two of them closing in, Elder Qiu dared not use a mana shield to compare endurance with the body cultivators.

He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, creating a fire dragon to block Chen Yi and the young lady.

Then he ran quickly to the outskirts of the clinic, at the edge of the peninsula, and shot a signal talisman into the sky, shouting:

"Quick, help me!!"

His voice, amplified by mana, carried hundreds of feet.

Seeing this, the faces of Chen Yi and the young lady changed. Was there an accomplice?!

Chen Yi barely cast two talisman scrolls and also executed a water shield to ward off the fire dragon.

Just as he was about to disregard exposure and go kill Elder Qiu,

As a result, in order to prevent the fire dragon, Zhao Chengjing used her last bit of mana and could no longer suppress the Hundred Spirit Decay.

"Pfft!"

She spewed a mouthful of black blood, her body soft and powerless, her eyes darkened, and she passed out and fell to the ground.

"How are you?"

Chen Yi rushed over in a panic, catching Zhao Chengjing mid-fall.

With his Turtle Breath Magical Power, he found that the poison of the Hundred Spirit Decay has deeply penetrated Zhao Chengjing's organs and her life was hanging by a thread.

If it weren't for her body also being cultivated, she would already be dead.

Chen Yi applied a few strands of Turtle Breath Magical Power, barely protecting Zhao Chengjing's organs.

Just then.

A figure suddenly burst from the surface of the water in front, stepping on a Flying Sword and soaring into the sky. He exuded strong mana, intimidating everybody.

Chen Yi's heart shuddered in response to the powerful mana.

"Elder Qiu, just what's going on? You couldn't even handle a female Qi Cultivator at the sixth layer, even though you had the Purple Sand Mink and Hundred Spirit Decay?"

The man speaking was tall and had a centipede-shaped scar on his face. It was Elder Wu of the Wu Family, Wu Cong!

"Elder Wu, it was my carelessness. The lad dishonored our agreement, and I fell for his trick."

Seeing Elder Wu appear, Elder Qiu felt relieved and replied.

"That's the Elder Wu of the Wu Family, Wu Cong at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation! Chen Yi, run quickly, seek help from the Zhao Family, and leave me behind."

Zhao Chengjing revealed Wu Cong's identity despairingly and tried to push Chen Yi, who was holding her. At this point, she knew that the poison of the Hundred Spirit Decay has gone too deep to be reversed.

Sigh, Chen Yi sighed to himself. If it really came down to the last moment, he would certainly abandon this lady and run by himself.

But still, it wasn't that desperate yet.

Pretending, Chen Yi applied another Light Body Talisman and a Speed Talisman to himself, then executed the Vajra Eight Steps. Carrying the young lady, he ran toward the island. His speed was so fast; he left a trail of afterimages.

"Hmph! Before me, you think I would let a junior like you escape? Where would that leave my dignity?"

Wu Cong's feet flashed sword light, and he transformed into a beam of light, rapidly chasing after Chen Yi.

At the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, one can initially control the Flying Sword, which is even faster than the flying magic tools.

Even if Chen Yi burst out at his best, he would certainly be caught.

From the sky, just as Wu Cong was getting closer and was about to cut down with his sword.

Suddenly,

Whoosh!

A sword light shot from the distance.

"Wu Cong! Who gave you the audacity to bully your way onto Zhao Family Island!"

A robust voice came from the distance.

Wu Cong hastily stopped the sword light, released his flying sword, and exchanged a strike with the incoming sword from afar.

His face looked a bit unpleasant:

"Zhao Chongwen! How did you get here so fast?"

"Hmph, that Qiu Dog, I've always had my suspicions about him. Recently, the younger generation of my Zhao Family that went to the clinic for treatment always ended up with some aftermath issues,"
