"I killed her, so what?"

With a raised eyebrow, Wang Junze replied disdainfully, "Since you've come, yet don't dare to show yourself, aren't you embarrassed to use such words to intimidate?"

Although the other party had not appeared, Wang Junze could guess that they must be a Transformed Great Demon.

Even so, Wang Junze's response was equally forceful.

Were you not asking who killed Hu Qianqian? I've admitted it, so what?!

"Heh heh!"

A cold laugh came from the air, and that sinister voice spoke again, "A mere Refining Spirit dares to boast about killing a Transformed Great Demon, do you really think you're worthy?"

The more Wang Junze admitted it, the less the other party believed.

After all, who would believe a Refining Spirit could kill a Transformed Great Demon?

"Since you don't believe it, why bother asking?"

Wang Junze's expression remained unchanged as he spoke again, "Whether Deserters or Demon Race, since you dared to create chaos in the Northern Domain, you must be prepared to be killed. Whether Hu Qianqian or you, there's no difference."

"Are you Wang Junze?"

The voice spoke again, "I've heard about your arrogance, and seeing you today, you truly don't know your limits... Very well, then. I shall kill you first!"

The moment the words fell, a cyan shadow suddenly shot through the air, resembling a cyan arrow tearing through the void from a distance!

Even with Wang Junze's abilities, he couldn't see where the arrow had been fired from!

"Clang!"

With a slight twist of the wrist, the Profound Ice Sword suddenly unsheathed, slashing towards the cyan arrow head-on.

The terrifying power erupted in front of the Sword Edge, and more frighteningly, the moment the arrow shattered, it turned into a barrage of cyan droplets, splashing toward Wang Junze.

Fortunately, as Wang Junze acted, he directly invoked the power of the Profound Ice Sword, forcibly freezing the splashing droplets into ice, which fell before him. Nonetheless, Wang Junze was pushed back seven or eight meters by the arrow's impact before he could stabilize his stance.

"Hiss hiss!"

The ice shards of droplets hit the ground, emitting a hissing sound and green smoke!

It's poisoned!

In an instant, Wang Junze realized the arrow shot at him was actually made of concentrated poison, such a treacherous method.

Had it been anyone else, even if capable of blocking the arrow, a slight carelessness and contact with the poison would mean immediate contamination!

Who would think that a dignified Transformed Great Demon, attacking a mere Refining Spirit like Wang Junze, would resort to such insidious methods, truly impossible to guard against.

Yet, at the moment Wang Junze blocked the arrow, a gleam of sword light suddenly burst forth, like a cold moon rising, slashing directly into the void on the left!

Boom!

At the moment the sword light fell, a figure was immediately forced out of the void!

Luo Qingxuan!

While the other party was speaking, Luo Qingxuan was already searching for their position. However, the surrounding Demon Qi was too dispersed for her to lock onto it at once, but the moment the other party launched a sneak attack, their position was instantly exposed.

Others might not perceive it, but with Luo Qingxuan's prowess, she could absolutely discern it without hesitation, forcing the other party out with a single sword stroke.

Under the moonlight, everyone finally saw the other party's appearance.

A young man in a green robe appeared, holding a strangely shaped spear, surrounded by a faint green mist, striking in appearance yet with an extremely vicious expression. Even when forced out by Luo Qingxuan, he showed no sign of panic.

"You also carry Hu Qianqian's scent... Tell me, did you kill her?"

Glaring at Luo Qingxuan, the young man seemed unfazed by being discovered, coldly questioning instead.

"So what if I did?"

Luo Qingxuan showed no fear, disdainfully retorting, "I'll kill you all the same!"

The moment the words fell, Luo Qingxuan swung her sword at him once more.

In that brief moment of probing, Luo Qingxuan had already assessed the opponent's strength. Though strong, it wasn't beyond her threshold, and in an actual fight, victory or defeat was still fifty-fifty.

"Hand over Hu Qianqian, alive or dead!"

The young man slightly lifted his spear, blocking Luo Qingxuan's sword, and spoke again.

"Senior Sister Luo, be careful of his poison, don't let that green mist touch you!"

On the other side, Wang Junze loudly advised.

The opponent seemed to be negotiating with Luo Qingxuan, yet in reality, the green mist was silently spreading around Luo Qingxuan.

Although it was just a brief encounter, Wang Junze vaguely realized that the opponent's truly terrifying means were the poison, not direct combat capability.

"Such petty tricks won't harm me!"

With a calm demeanor, Luo Qingxuan replied coolly.

What Wang Junze could detect, she could naturally perceive as well, but she paid it no mind; protected by Sword Qi, unless it could break through her Sword Qi barrier, no matter how potent the venom, it couldn't harm her in the least.

"You're unafraid... but are these people also unafraid?"

Having been exposed by Wang Junze, the young man replied coldly, "Today, if I can't see Hu Qianqian, I'll make this valley barren!"

Boom!

Almost in the next instant, the terrifying Demon Qi burst forth, green mist spread out, crazily surging towards the crowd in the valley.

Meanwhile, a hissing sound suddenly spread around, and in a blink, hundreds of emerald green poisonous snakes emerged, slowly advancing towards the crowd, from afar looking like a green tide.

Snake tide!

At this point, Wang Junze could undoubtedly discern the other party's true form.

A Snake Demon, and an exceedingly fearsome venomous snake at that!

Whether the surrounding green mist or the snakes within it, both must carry extremely deadly poison!

Not daring to speak for those beyond Heaven-Stepping, but even a Refining Spirit, once touched by such poison, is at great risk, as for those weaker... mere contact with the slightest bit would likely mean instant death.

Even before the Deserters arrived, the presence of this Transformed Great Demon had already created an incredibly terrifying pressure.

"Brother Jing, are you all not going to act, wishing everyone to perish?"

His gaze suddenly falling on Jing Lei, Wang Junze coldly spoke.

"..."

Hearing Wang Junze's words, Jing Lei looked a bit unpleasant, yet still had to act.

No choice, despite his hatred wishing Wang Junze dead, he had to preserve his reputation. With so many in Medicine King Valley, if he truly sat back and let significant casualties happen, the Four Symbols Sect's reputation would be ruined; after all, the Four Symbols Sect aimed to intervene in the Northern Domain, not annihilate its cultivators.

Nodding slightly to the disciples at his side, a Four Symbols Sect disciple stepped forward, waving a hand lightly, a strong wind immediately blew toward the poison mist ahead!

The Cyan Dragon governs wind, disciples who cultivate the Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect can just restrain these poison mists.
