Heavily injured, Yin Suhong fell from the sky. The Blood Marrow Snake Cave naturally could not be maintained and promptly dissipated.

Zou Feng slowly withdrew his palm and let out a long sigh of relief.

Much like his previous battle against He Yuan of the Flying Snow Sword, it didn’t seem overly intense, and a victor was decided quickly.

In reality, however, these had been genuine, hard-fought battles.

The toxicity of the Blood Marrow Snake Cave was far from as easy to withstand as Zou Feng made it seem.

If not for his Tribulation-Indestructible Body Cultivation having reached the Peak of Perfection, on top of his own naturally high poison resistance, simply resisting the all-pervasive toxins in the snake cave would have been incredibly draining.

Furthermore, Yin Suhong had not actually been in her peak condition.

The side effects transferred to her when Zou Feng had previously helped Bai Chen dispel poison still had some lingering impact.

Not to mention Zhi Shuang’s Silk Entanglement Gu Poison, which had also thrown her into disarray moments ago.

The next moment, he reached out with his right hand and made a grasping motion toward Yin Suhong in the air.

Yin Suhong, who had just crashed to the ground and was on the brink of death, was pulled toward him.

Although she hadn’t drawn her last breath, she had been struck by the Five Poison Heart-Burning Palm, and even now, a burning sensation emanated from her heart.

The pain was so unbearable that she almost wished for a swift end.

But her powerful will to survive drove her to try and find a sliver of hope.

"Kill me... and your two women... won’t live either..."

The two women Yin Suhong spoke of were, of course, Tian Yun and Bian Yixia.

However, from the moment Zou Feng had suspected something was amiss with Zhi Shuang, he had checked Tian Yun and Bian Yixia’s bodies and had already dispelled the poison for them.

The poison Yin Suhong had planted was extremely subtle. As long as she didn’t activate it, the chances of it being discovered were incredibly slim.

Unfortunately for her, she couldn’t hide it from Zou Feng, a true "Poison Genius."

"You don’t have to worry about that. You think I didn’t know they were poisoned?" Zou Feng sneered.

Seeing that Zou Feng truly wasn’t bluffing, Yin Suhong’s eyes filled with despair.

"You... want... the Snake Gu King Poison..."

"You can... dual cultivate with me... there’s no need... to kill me..."

"Let me live... I’ll be your slave... the benefits will be... even greater..." Yin Suhong said with great difficulty, even twisting her lithe, snakelike waist.

Of course, Zou Feng wasn’t falling for it. He sneered, "It’s all the same while you’re still warm!"

With that, he swiftly and cleanly snapped Yin Suhong’s neck.

He then used Gang Qi Penetration to search for the exact location of the Snake Gu King Poison within her body.

Having already performed Refinement on the other four Gu King poisons, his senses were exceptionally keen toward this type of Gu Poison.

He soon discovered traces of the Snake Gu King Poison in a location just below her Dantian.

’So that’s where it is. No wonder she said I could get the Snake Gu King Poison through dual cultivation.’

Despite this thought, Zou Feng had no regrets. After all, Yin Suhong’s Replenishing Skill was notoriously potent in Biyou Palace.

He might have defeated her while they were standing, but if they were to lie down and "fight" in a different manner, the outcome would be far less certain.

Besides, Yin Suhong’s desire to kill him—to make Teng Jun suffer the pain of losing someone he cared for—had become an obsession. He absolutely could not let her live.

Now that he had found the Snake Gu King Poison’s location, Zou Feng unleashed the Five Poison Shattering Pill Palm, a skill he hadn’t used in a long time.

He then enveloped the Snake Gu King Poison with his Gang Qi and, in an instant, completed its Refinement.

"Finally... the poisons of the five Gu are all in place!"

Zou Feng clutched his forehead, unable to stop himself from laughing wildly.

He had every reason to be ecstatic. After all, the True Qi Realm was now within his grasp!

"Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill (Peak of Perfection) Progress: 88%"

With the Refinement complete, a thought crossed Zou Feng’s mind, and he casually swayed his body.

This simple movement made it seem as if he had become a Master of the Shadow Stream, capable of using a Clone Technique.

Of course, he couldn’t actually create clones. Rather, the Snake Gu King Poison had granted him a massive boost to his Body Skill and speed.

His Body Skill was now more fluid and unpredictable, his speed as swift as a Spiritual Snake Emerges from the Hole.

This enhancement, when combined with his Drunken Immortal Moon Chasing Step, could even be used to create new techniques.

Furthermore, whenever he was Cultivating now, each of his fingers was both a "Poison Needle" and a "Poison Fang."

Anyone caught in his grasp would suffer a fate no different than being bitten by an incredibly venomous Demon Snake.

Now that the five poisons were complete, the next step was the Refinement of the gift from the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group.

Previously, Zou Feng would periodically leave Silk Cave to return to Qingchuan City. While his main purpose was to practice the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill with Tian Yun, he had not neglected the task of nurturing the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group.

Zou Feng immediately used a Communication Jade Talisman to notify Tian Yun, telling her to gather the members of the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group in advance of his imminent return.

Glancing at the ravaged battlefield, Zou Feng had no intention of destroying the body to erase the evidence.

The consequences of killing Yin Suhong, the Valley Master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, could be either major or minor.

After all, even though Biyou Palace was an Evil Sect, it still had basic rules.

For example, aside from special circumstances like a competition to become a True Inheritor, disciples were normally forbidden from killing one another.

This was especially true within Cloud Mist Mountain, where fighting among disciples was strictly prohibited.

This was also why Yin Suhong had never schemed to ambush Zou Feng or Teng Jun within Biyou Palace.

Therefore, no matter how Biyou Palace investigated, any discerning person could see that this was a conspiracy initiated by Yin Suhong to take his life.

He had merely acted in self-defense, turning the tables on her with strength that far exceeded her expectations.

Zou Feng had already slain a Third Grade expert before, so his ability to turn the tables and kill Yin Suhong would hardly come as a surprise.

Moreover, he had made significant contributions during the battle against the invading Celestial Essence Sword Sect, which was tantamount to saving Bai Chen’s life.
