"Spare me, young master!" Niu Desheng fell to his knees with a thud.
Seeing their leader kneel and beg for mercy, the group behind Niu Desheng finally noticed that everyone from the Ghost Demon Cult was dead.
When they saw the towering flame giant, even the dullest among them realized what had happened. Their legs went weak, and they all knelt before Xiao Yan.
"Whether you live or die depends on how obedient you are. Little Lan, keep an eye on them," Xiao Yan said, dispersing the Flame God transformation and heading to the front courtyard.
Yao Lao, who had been observing, finally grasped the true power of the Flame God.
Its defense was impenetrable, and its attacks were unstoppable. With just a wave of its arm, it had effortlessly wiped out over a dozen people.
Right now, Xiao Yan's strength was still unremarkable. But if he were to reach the Dou Zong level in the future, with his Dou Qi becoming boundless and vast as the sea, who knew how powerful the Flame God could become!
While Xiao Yan was dealing with the Ghost Demon Cult, the Five Poisons Sect had already stormed into the front courtyard.
"Let the Iron Fork Association and the Ghost Demon Cult fight to the death. Most people who steal prefer to sneak in through the backyard, but my Five Poisons Sect will enter openly and proudly."
"It makes no difference," Little Fairy Doctor said calmly as she opened the door and looked at the dozen or so people.
The old man laughed heartily. "You're a clever girl. With the methods of my Five Poisons Sect, everything you two have will eventually be mine. Hand over your storage ring."
"The ring is right here. If you want it, come and take it yourself," Little Fairy Doctor said, waving the red storage ring on her finger.
"It seems you need a lesson to understand the power of the Five Poisons Sect," the old man said, his expression darkening as he flung out five clouds of colorful poison powder.
The thin man sneered. This was an extremely potent poison made from the venom of five poisonous scorpions, refined with forty-nine other toxic ingredients.
The poison wasn't meant to kill instantly. Instead, it caused an unbearable itching and stinging sensation, as if thousands of ants were biting every inch of the body, making the victim beg for death.
Little Fairy Doctor raised her hand to block the powder, frowning slightly as the colorful poison stained her palm.
The old man watched her with a smirk. If she hadn't blocked it with her hand, the poison might have taken a few more breaths to take effect. But now that it had touched her skin, she would soon be rolling on the ground, begging for mercy.
After a few breaths, the old man's expression changed. Little Fairy Doctor was still standing there, completely unaffected. "You're not in pain?"
Feeling the poison being refined and the slight increase in her Dou Qi, Little Fairy Doctor relaxed her brows. Although the poison smelled unpleasant, for her, it was a supplement that boosted her strength.
"Why should I be in pain?" Little Fairy Doctor asked, mimicking Xiao Yan's posture by crossing her arms and leaning against the doorframe.
"What the hell is going on?!" the old man exclaimed, staring at Little Fairy Doctor, who was still speaking normally. He pulled out a whistle and blew it hard.
A swarm of poisonous bees, dark as a storm cloud, descended upon the courtyard.
"Using the Five Poison Bees on this girl? Grandpa, isn't that a bit of a waste?" the thin man said anxiously, forgetting the usual hierarchy of the sect.
Once the Five Poison Bees fired their stingers, they wouldn't survive for long.
Cultivating these bees required gathering five types of poison and took a full three years.
"If I can't even take down this girl, then I'm not the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, and I'm not your grandfather," the old man said, blowing the whistle again and glaring at Little Fairy Doctor.
The swarm of bees buzzed loudly, and countless black needles shot out from their tails like a dense rain.
Facing the overwhelming attack, Little Fairy Doctor's Dou Qi surged violently. A colorful Dou Qi armor formed around her body, a clear sign of a Dou Shi's strength.
This energy armor not only enhanced the user's defense, speed, and attack but also allowed them to absorb energy from the surroundings to replenish their reserves.
"A Dou Shi?!" The old man gasped. He had never even heard of someone so young reaching the Dou Shi level, let alone seen one.
"You think your Dou Qi armor can block this?" The thin man sneered. The Five Poison Bees had been specially bred, and their stingers were so toxic that even a Da Dou Shi's Dou Qi armor couldn't withstand such a concentrated attack.
The stingers rained down on Little Fairy Doctor's Dou Qi armor, but as the colorful light flared, all the poison was absorbed into her armor.
The members of the Five Poisons Sect stared in shock. Why did it seem like the girl was getting stronger the more she was poisoned?
As the light faded, Little Fairy Doctor exhaled slowly. "That was somewhat interesting. Thank you for helping me break through to the five-star Dou Shi level."
"Grandpa, is she a ghost?" The thin man's face turned pale. Even a nine-star Da Dou Shi would have been poisoned by so many stingers. But this girl had only grown stronger.
The old man staggered back a few steps, his face ashen. He had spent years perfecting the Five Poison Powder and the Five Poison Bees, hoping to use them to crush the Iron Fork Association and the Ghost Demon Cult. But now, he couldn't even defeat a young girl.
Steadying himself, the old man pointed at Little Fairy Doctor. "Don't call me Grandpa. She's your Grandpa now."
"Huh?" The thin man frowned. "Even if you've taken a liking to her, she should be Grandma, not Grandpa."
Xiao Yan jumped down from the roof, laughing. "I didn't even get a chance to act, and you've already taken care of them."
"Who are these people anyway?" Little Fairy Doctor asked, clearly unimpressed.
"What do you want?" The old man, startled by Xiao Yan's sudden appearance, quickly regained his composure and summoned his Dou Qi.
If the girl was this powerful, how strong was the man?
Xiao Yan smiled. "You're quite amusing, old man. You're the ones who broke into my home, and now you're asking what we want?"
The old man said gravely, "We of the Five Poisons Sect have misjudged you. If you want to kill us, just get it over with."
"Follow me," Xiao Yan said, leading Little Fairy Doctor to the backyard.
"Grandpa, what should we do?" The thin man hesitated, unsure whether to move.
"Let's follow and see."
In the backyard, seeing that no one was around except for a first-tier Blue Eagle, some members of the Iron Fork Association began to entertain thoughts of escape.
"Leader, should we run?"
Niu Desheng ignored them, kneeling obediently. "If you want to run, go ahead. But with that young man's strength, you won't even make it past the courtyard walls before you join the Ghost Demon Cult."
Xiao Yan led the group to the backyard and, hearing this, laughed. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. But from now on, your factions will no longer exist. There will only be the Poison Sect!"
Hearing this, Niu Desheng and the leader of the Five Poisons Sect agreed almost immediately.
If they didn't agree, it wouldn't just be their factions that would cease to exist—they themselves would be wiped out.
