If this Transformation Energy had been actively stimulated by Song Qiuchan herself, she naturally wouldn’t be so astonished. But now, this torrent of Transformation Energy was passively absorbed, how could she not be shocked?

Yet, this Transformation Energy which could once corrode any human or Vein Demon, now had no effect at all on that small butterfly-shaped Meridian Spirit.

"Damn it, what on earth is that thing?"

Due to her anxiety and anger, Song Qiuchan couldn’t recognize the nature of the Swallowing Butterfly at first glance. At this moment, she could only sense the unease due to the Transformation Beast’s Transformation Energy being devoured, somehow guessing the outcome of this Poison Meridian Skill competition.

If previously, Song Qiuchan wasn’t particularly wary of this genius girl from the Sky Poison Institute, now she no longer dared to underestimate Liu Hanyi.

The Poisonous Spirit Qi had no effect earlier and was almost blasted back by her opponent’s returning Poisonous Spirit Qi; now even her famous toxic Meridian Spirit Transformation Beast was ineffective against the opponent.

It seems the Transformation Beast is about to be completely devoured. You must know, the Transformation Energy is the foundation of the Transformation Beast, once the foundation is devoured, the Transformation Beast will vanish like smoke.

However, Liu Hanyi wasn’t burdened with as many thoughts as Song Qiuchan, she only knew that the Transformation Energy of the Transformation Beast might have a very good effect on enhancing her Immortal Poison Body.

Since there was this opportunity, Liu Hanyi would not let it slip away, especially since Song Qiuchan had offended Yun Xiao; today she must make her pay a painful price.

At this moment, Liu Hanyi’s mind was made up, and with the change of her handprint, the Swallowing Butterfly’s Devouring Power surged out chaotically, causing Song Qiuchan’s face to change dramatically.

"This cannot go on any longer!"

Sensing the rapid flow of Transformation Energy from her own Meridian Spirit, Song Qiuchan was shocked, and her handprint changed quickly in an attempt to retrieve her Transformation Beast first.

"I’ve been waiting for this moment!"

Feeling the vast recall force emanating from the Transformation Beast’s body, Liu Hanyi’s eyes lit up, and she subtly retracted some of the Swallowing Butterfly’s Devouring Power, intending to give Song Qiuchan a glimmer of hope for success.

Because Liu Hanyi knew, even if she used the Swallowing Butterfly to completely devour the Transformation Energy of the Transformation Beast, it would at most cost Song Qiuchan a Meridian Spirit but wouldn’t cause any severe damage to her main body.

Although when a Meridian Spirit is killed, the human body will also suffer some injury, that is far from enough in Liu Hanyi’s mind, especially since this woman had once tried to kill Yun Xiao.

Therefore, Liu Hanyi was determined to give an eye for an eye, poison against poison, and teach Song Qiuchan an unforgettable lesson, even if it meant poisoning her to death on the stone platform, she would not hold back if there was a chance.

"Hmph, just an embroidered pillow, after all, this Floating Life Realm Early Stage little girl!"

At this moment, Song Qiuchan had no room for such thoughts; she only wanted to reclaim her Transformation Beast, which was a Meridian Spirit she had painstakingly refined. If she lost it just like that, she would probably go mad with rage.

At this moment, Song Qiuchan subconsciously forgot about Qi Feng’s earlier situation, or perhaps she was extremely confident in her Transformation Beast’s power, believing any poison would be completely neutralized by it.

Intently focused on retrieving the Transformation Beast back into her body, upon sensing a slight slackening in the butterfly-shaped Meridian Spirit’s power, joyousness filled Song Qiuchan’s heart while sarcasm floated in her mind.

In fact, Song Qiuchan’s actions at this moment already constituted a violation of the rules in the Meridian Refining Conference Poison Meridian competition, because she used her own Meridian Qi; after all, the Meridian Spirit and she were one.

However, without using Meridian Qi, Song Qiuchan knew that under the Swallowing power of the butterfly-shaped Vein Demon, she would not be able to retrieve her Transformation Beast; indeed a dilemma.

But between losing the Transformation Beast and this match, Song Qiuchan evidently made the right choice to preserve her Transformation Beast.

Or perhaps Song Qiuchan realized that although her Transformation Beast could hold on for a while longer, the result would still be defeat, and by then, her path in the Meridian Refining Conference would be over.

The Transformation Beast was already Song Qiuchan’s last card, since she would lose either way, why not preserve the Transformation Beast first, so after losing, she could retain some strength for future use.

This was precisely the perfect plan in Song Qiuchan’s heart, but regrettably, despite all her calculating, even resorting to her own Meridian Qi, she hadn’t anticipated a certain outcome, thus her fate was already sealed.

"Old woman, you violated the rules!"

When Song Qiuchan mobilized her Meridian Qi to reclaim it, almost everyone inside and outside the square sensed her explosive Meridian Qi Cultivation, prompting Ye Ku, the number one genius from the Sky Poison Institute, to shout loudly.

"Shameless!"

Si Mo, standing beside Ye Ku, naturally followed the lead of his senior brothers and sisters, and at this moment, also cursed out loudly, and with that, a sneer colored almost everyone’s faces.

Previously, in the Nine Realms Poison Tower, since no one had witnessed Song Qiuchan and Yun Xiao’s confrontation, it was difficult to conclude who was right or wrong.

But now, after being overwhelmed, Song Qiuchan actually resorted to using Meridian Qi Cultivation far exceeding Liu Hanyi’s, which undoubtedly violates the rules of the Poison Meridian contest.

Even if Song Qiuchan wins, it won’t be honorable; the Meridian Refining Master Association and the many dignitaries watching will not acknowledge Song Qiuchan’s victory.

"This is truly self-inflicted; can’t live with it!"

Meanwhile, Qingmu Wu, who just broke through to the Lingyun Realm Early Stage, showed not a trace of anger but rather a cold smile, speaking words that made Ouyang Wuantong and Li Yunfan ponder.

"Hanyi seems to be doing it on purpose!"

Qian Sanyuan, a genuine Heavenly Rank Low Level Stage Meridian Refiner, with a formidable Power of Soul, and as an observer, sensed things much clearer than Song Qiuchan, who was involved in the situation.

"Isn’t this obvious? With Hanyi’s control over her Immortal Poison Body and Swallowing Butterfly, if not intentional, how could Song Qiuchan truly reclaim the Transformation Beast?"

After breaking through to the Lingyun Realm, a trace of dominance naturally appeared on Qingmu Wu, and hearing his words, the two outsider dignitaries couldn’t help but be moved.

After all, the title of Immortal Poison Body was something they heard for the first time; although they didn’t know what kind of Abnormal Physique it was, seeing Liu Hanyi’s proficiency in the Poison Meridian Path made them realize that this physique must be extraordinary.

Whoosh!

Amidst the scolding of Ye Ku and Si Mo and the varied thoughts of others, Song Qiuchan completely ignored them, intensifying the flow of her Meridian Qi from the Floating Life Realm Late Stage, finally freeing the Transformation Beast from the Swallowing Butterfly’s devouring.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Liu Hanyi’s face involuntarily showed anger and disappointment, shouting out in frustration, though unknown to others, all these displays were deliberately feigned by her.

Liu Hanyi intended to create a false image of running out of steam for Song Qiuchan, and with the Transformation Beast flying back to the latter, her unwilling frustration became the perfect finishing touch.

In contrast, though Song Qiuchan felt grateful her Transformation Beast was ultimately not entirely devoured, her expression was less than pleasant.

She knew that her open display of exploding Meridian Qi to reclaim the Transformation Beast was surely sensed clearly by many observers and those dignitaries.

This blatant breach of rules left her with no qualification to continue; she understood her path in this Meridian Refining Conference had reached its end.

Song Qiuchan’s heart harbored extreme discontent; she originally came with ambitious intent, even planning to win the championship in the Poison Meridian Path.

But who knew she’d encounter Yun Xiao in the Nine Realms Poison Tower, losing an arm; and now, in the final contest, facing a demonic genius girl from the Sky Poison Institute.

Even the Poisonous Spirit Qi and Transformation Beast couldn’t faze Liu Hanyi; Song Qiuchan truly didn’t know how she could defeat this Poison Meridian genius.

Perhaps at the moment the Transformation Beast was devoured by the butterfly-shaped Meridian Spirit, Song Qiuchan knew she was defeated, her trump cards glaringly exposed, unable to deal with the opponent, lacking any stronger means.

So Song Qiuchan chose to explode her Meridian Qi at that moment—since it was a loss anyway—if losing this Transformation Beast Meridian Spirit occurred, it would drastically impact her Poison Meridian Skill and Meridian Qi Combat Power.

Fortunately, after Song Qiuchan exerted her Meridian Qi, she managed to reclaim the Transformation Beast, averting further loss, a misfortune amidst the fortune.

Yet little did Song Qiuchan know that when she withdrew the Transformation Beast into her body, she had already lost any bargaining power with Liu Hanyi—the Immortal Embryo Poison suddenly erupted at this moment.

Clap!

At that moment, the graceful figure near her held a hint of a smirk, and before Song Qiuchan could speak, suddenly snapped her fingers loudly, sounding remarkably crisp.

"Hmm?"

As the sound of the snap echoed in her ears, Song Qiuchan’s expression changed drastically, for she clearly sensed a fierce and bizarre aura rising within her body.

"Damn it, it’s poison, that girl is so despicable!"

In that instant, as a Heavenly Rank Low Level Stage Poison Vein Master, if Song Qiuchan couldn’t sense that special aura, she wouldn’t be worthy of such a high rank.

Realizing this fact, in the flash of a moment, Song Qiuchan finally understood she had fallen prey to the young girl’s tactics, poisoned within her body assisted by the Transformation Beast.

The plaza, both inside and outside, fell silent!
