Yang Guo: I'm invincible in the opening battle against Aunt Guo!

Bee venom and spider venom collided violently in the air, hissing and producing wisps of smoke.

The smoke carried a strange, sweet, and fishy odor that made one dizzy.

Huo Du hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, retreating repeatedly: "Master, this smoke is poisonous!"

The Golden Wheel Monk had already been holding his breath and focusing intently on the battle.

Who would have thought this? The people inside were in dire straits.

There's even this amazing move of divine intervention!

This completely disrupted his plans!

The spider web began to disintegrate under the onslaught of the bees.

Although the snow spider is highly venomous, much more so than the jade bee, its numbers are far fewer than those of the jade bee.

In just a short while, a gap was torn in the thick spider web at the entrance of the hole.

Several jade bees flew through the gap and into the cave.

Inside the cave

Zhou Botong was staring in disbelief when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck.

"Ouch!"

He reached out and swatted a jade bee to death.

The bee sting was still stuck in his neck, but the venom had already been injected into his body.

"Little Dragon Girl, why are your bees stinging me?!" Zhou Botong exclaimed.

Little Dragon Girl turned around and was also taken aback.

These jade bees must have rushed in too fast and that's why they accidentally entered the cave.

She was about to speak when she saw Zhou Botong's expression suddenly change.

His face, which had turned bluish due to the spider venom, suddenly flushed an abnormal red.

"Hot...so hot..." Zhou Botong clutched his neck, veins bulging on his forehead. "No, it's so cold...both hot and cold!"

Xiaolongnu's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward: "Senior, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Botong suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood!

The blood fell to the ground and corroded small pits, emitting white smoke.

"Senior!" Little Dragon Girl helped him up.

Zhou Botong pushed her away, staggered a few steps, and leaned against the rock wall, panting heavily.

The two deadly poisons within his body—the venom of the Snow Spider and the venom of the Jade Bee—were currently clashing violently.

Spider venom is cold and damp, while bee venom is hot and scorching. When the two venoms meet, it's like ice and fire clashing, causing turmoil in his meridians.

"Ughhhhhh—"

Zhou Botong looked up to the sky and roared, his voice echoing through the mountain cave!

Upon hearing the long howl outside the cave, the Golden Wheel Monk's face lit up with joy: "Could that old fellow have been poisoned to death?"

Inside the cave.

Zhou Botong's whistling gradually subsided.

He stood there, his chest heaving violently, his face alternating between blue and red.

It took a full half-incense stick's time for the discoloration to slowly fade and return to its normal rosy hue.

He blinked and moved his hands and feet.

"what?"

It jumped around a couple more times.

"Hey!"

Zhou Botong suddenly burst into laughter: "All done! All done! The spider venom is gone! The bee venom has dissipated too! Hahahaha, Little Dragon Girl, your bee sting was excellent, truly wonderful!"

Little Dragon Girl stared at him blankly.

Zhou Botong looked refreshed and energetic, showing no signs of the lethargy he had experienced a few days earlier due to poisoning.

Not only that, his eyes were gleaming, and his aura was surging, clearly indicating that his power had been fully restored, and even... subtly improved!

"Bee venom and spider venom are mutually exclusive; using poison to fight poison, the deadly poison in your body was completely neutralized." Little Dragon Girl understood.

"That's right, that's right!" Zhou Botong danced with excitement. "Let's go, let's fight our way out! That Golden Wheel Monk, I'll smash his wheels to pieces!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a blur and rushed towards the cave entrance.

At this moment, the spider web at the cave entrance had been torn open by the jade bees, leaving a large hole, and the bee swarm was still fighting with the remaining snow spiders.

Zhou Botong struck out with his palm, the wind from which surged like a raging torrent, blasting away the remaining spider webs and spiders!

"You old scoundrel Jinlun! Your Grandpa Zhou is out!"

Zhou Botong leaped out of the cave, his voice booming like a bell.

Outside the cave, the three Golden Wheel Monk and his companions stood ready.

When they saw Zhou Botong burst out of the cave full of energy and vitality, the three of them changed their expressions.

"How is this possible..." Huo Du exclaimed, "He was clearly poisoned by the Snow Spider, and it's a miracle he's still alive after seven days without being cured. How can he be in such good condition!"

The Golden Wheel Monk stared intently at Zhou Botong with a gloomy expression.

He could sense that the other party's aura had not weakened at all; on the contrary, it was even stronger than it had been seven days ago.

That immense and vast internal force was the kind of aura possessed only by a Grandmaster.

"It seems the poison came from those jade bees, and by sheer chance, the spider venom was neutralized," the Golden Wheel Monk said slowly. "I underestimated your abilities."

Zhou Botong stood at the cave entrance, hands on his hips, pointing at Jinlun Fawang: "Old monk, we've been surrounding your Grandpa Zhou for seven days, how are we going to settle this score?"

The Golden Wheel Monk snorted coldly; he had already known the other party's identity for some time now.

"Zhou Botong, although you have been cured of the poison, our strengths are only roughly equal. If we were to fight, the outcome would be uncertain."

"Then let's give it a try!"

Zhou Botong laughed loudly and moved like lightning, rushing straight at Jinlun Fawang!

The two instantly engaged in battle.

Zhou Botong uses the Empty Fist, a style characterized by its ethereal and seemingly casual movements, yet which are actually full of hidden secrets.

The Golden Wheel Monk responded with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, his palm strikes powerful and each one imbued with the strength of a dragon and elephant.

The two men clashed fists, their energy surging outwards, causing sand and stones to fly around them.

Huo Du and Darba exchanged a glance and simultaneously lunged at the female dragon girl who had just emerged from the cave.

"Little lady, just surrender obediently!" Huo Du unfolded his folding fan, and several poisoned needles shot out from the fan ribs.

Darba then brandished his vajra and smashed it down with the force of splitting a mountain.

The Little Dragon Goddess remained calm, lightly tapping her toes as she floated back three zhang, avoiding the combined attack of the two.

She held a withered branch in each hand—the ones she had used when practicing ambidextrous fighting earlier.

With a flick of his left hand, the withered branch transformed into countless cold stars, striking vital acupoints all over Huo Du's body.

It was the "Jade Maiden Sword Technique" of the Ancient Tomb Sect, with its light and graceful moves, like a fairy dancing.

The withered branch in his right hand drew a powerful arc, meeting Darba's vajra.

This move, however, is the "Quanzhen Sword Technique" of the Quanzhen Sect, which is profound, steady, and awe-inspiring.

One person, two swords, two completely different sword techniques, used simultaneously!

Huo Du's expression changed drastically.

He had never seen anyone use two sword techniques simultaneously, one light and one heavy, one skillful and one clumsy, in perfect harmony.

His poisoned needles were all deflected by the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, and his folding fan was even struck on the wrist by the sword tip, causing it to go numb and almost slip out of his hand.

Darba is also suffering.

His vajra was powerful and heavy, yet it was always cleverly deflected by that seemingly fragile withered branch.

Even though his opponent's internal strength was not as profound as his own, the yin and yang transformations contained in the sword technique made him feel a sense of frustration that he could not use his strength.

"Ambidextrous fighting technique!" While exchanging blows with Zhou Botong, the Golden Wheel Monk glanced at the battle and was secretly astonished. "This girl has actually learned Zhou Botong's ultimate technique!"

His mind raced, and he suddenly shouted, "Dalba, Hordu, retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the two quickly retreated.

The Golden Wheel Monk exchanged a palm strike with Zhou Botong, using the force to float back three zhang, landing in front of his two disciples.

He glanced at the swarm of jade bees still hovering in the sky, then at the aloof Little Dragon Girl, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Bee venom is hard to defend against, and the ambidextrous fighting technique is even more bizarre.

There's no chance of taking down these two today.

"Withdraw." King Jinlun made a decisive decision.

Huo Du was stunned: "Master, is this how we're going to be..."

"Go!" The Golden Wheel Monk turned around and disappeared into the forest in a few leaps.

Although Darba and Hordu were unwilling, they had no choice but to follow.
