As soon as Song Wan pressed his finger on the axe, a dark hole suddenly opened on the back of the axe, from which two silver needles shot out.

At such close range, Ouyang Yan had already reacted after several hundred years, but she was still unable to dodge in time, and the two silver needles struck her right shoulder directly.

The intense pain almost made Ouyang Yan drop her sword, which clattered to the ground. She quickly stepped back, clutching her right shoulder, her face darkening.

She looked coldly at Song Wan, "Poison needles?"

"Hahaha, you certainly didn't expect to fall victim to a poisoned needle here one day, did you? This is a poisoned needle I prepared specifically for you. It can paralyze your entire body and render you unable to move in just a few breaths." Song Wan stood up laughing, but his gaze became even more vicious.

In the short time he spoke, Ouyang Yan's face did indeed turn very pale, frighteningly so, and a lot of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

She began to feel a tingling sensation coming from the wound, and this feeling was rapidly spreading throughout her body. Before long, she would be unable to move at all.

"I never thought I, Ouyang Yan, would one day fall into your hands." With a cold snort, Ouyang Yan showed no fear on her face.

Seeing her calm and composed expression, Song Wan became even angrier, almost roaring, "What kind of expression is that? Are you looking down on me! Now you've lost, you've lost! I've won!"

Song Wan was like a madman, roaring as if he wanted to prove something to Ouyang Yan.

But Ouyang Yan remained indifferent, even somewhat disdainful.

She looked down on Song Wan from beginning to end.

But suddenly, Song Wan suppressed all his anger, walked up to Ouyang Yan, reached out and lifted her flawless white chin, and said fiercely, "You arrogant woman, do you think I'm going to kill you? No, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"But I'm afraid you don't have that ability!"

Despite Song Wan gripping her chin, Ouyang Yan was still able to move, even unleashing surprising strength. She forcefully pushed Song Wan to the ground, and at the same time, she slapped her right shoulder and back with her left hand. The two poison needles embedded in her shoulder were knocked out by her force, right into Song Wan's eyes!

"ah--!"

Song Wan never expected that Ouyang Yan would be able to resist to the death. Two poisoned needles were directly pierced into his eyes, and the excruciating pain made him cover his eyes and wail in agony as he retreated.

"Kill her! Kill her now! Aaaaaah!!"

Two lines of black, bloody tears streamed down his fingers as Song Wan cried out in anguish.

His companions then realized what was happening. One of them rushed forward to support Song Wan, while the other immediately brandished his chain axe and swung it at Ouyang Yan without hesitation!

When Ouyang Yan finished doing all that, she had already lost all ability to move. Her body was completely paralyzed, and she lay on the ground watching helplessly as the axe flew towards her.

But she no longer regretted it; at least she had taken Song Wan with her before she died, so she could die in peace.

Ouyang Yan closed her eyes, awaiting death.

But the expected pain did not come. Instead, a crisp metallic clang suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of sharp weapons cutting through flesh, and finally a heavy thud as the body fell to the ground.

Ouyang Yan opened her eyes in surprise, only to see a young man standing in front of her, holding a sword. Everyone else, including Song Wan, was already lying on the ground, killed with a single sword strike.

"Miss, are you alright?" Bai Hao smiled slightly, sheathed the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and reached out to help Ouyang Yan up. Only then did he realize that Ouyang Yan was quite pretty.

With a delicate nose, willow-leaf eyebrows, bright eyes, white teeth, and fair skin, she also has a small beauty mark at the corner of her mouth. Far from being out of place, it adds to her beauty.

Although she can't compare to the two monstrous talents, Su Yuewan and Ning Wan, she is still a rare sight.

"Thank you. May I ask who you are, sir?" Ouyang Yan looked at Bai Hao's unfamiliar face with some confusion.

She didn't know Bai Hao, but he saved her at a crucial moment, which moved Ouyang Yan.

"My name is Bai Hao. I just happened to be passing by and saw so many of them bullying you. I couldn't stand it, so I stepped in." Bai Hao said as he helped Ouyang Yan up and leaned her against the wall.

He did find it unacceptable to see so many men bullying a woman, but this thought wasn't something he had from the beginning. After all, it was Ouyang Yan who was initially the one dominating Song Wan.

What truly convinced Bai Hao to lend a hand was Ouyang Yan's astonishing feat of forcing the poison needles out of her body and blinding Song Wan in the process.

This was the first time Bai Hao had ever seen such a ruthless person. Even when he was at a disadvantage, he never thought of giving up and even managed to drag his enemies down with him.

It was this behavior that shocked Bai Hao, who finally decided to save her.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Bai, for saving my life. I am Ouyang Yan, a disciple of the Dan Sect. I will always remember this kindness," Ouyang Yan said again.

"The Pill Sect?"

Bai Hao was slightly startled.

It's quite surprising that Ouyang Yan is actually from the Pill Sect.

"Who were those people just now? Were they enemies of your Dan Sect?" he couldn't help but ask curiously.

It's important to know that the Dan Sect holds an extremely high position throughout the entire Divine Radiance Continent. Although its overall strength isn't the strongest, its unparalleled alchemy skills mean that almost everyone owes the Dan Sect a favor.

This has resulted in the Pill Sect having the widest network of connections throughout the entire Divine Radiance Continent. Some even say that offending the Pill Sect is equivalent to offending the entire Divine Radiance Continent. While this may be an exaggeration, it is enough to demonstrate the Pill Sect's status.

However, as a disciple of the Dan Sect, Bai Hao was quite curious as to why he was being treated like this.

“Yes, they are from the Song family, and the Song family is one of the few enemies of our Dan Sect. But don’t worry, Young Master Bai, I won’t tell anyone about what happened today, and the Song family won’t come after you.” Ouyang Yan thought Bai Hao was worried that the Song family would seek revenge on him, so she explained.

But Bai Hao was genuinely wondering what this Song family was all about; he had never heard of this name among the top-tier powers.

But to become an enemy of the Dan Sect, it must not be some insignificant force, right?

I can't figure it out.

"No, I don't care about that. But Miss Ouyang, is your injury serious?" Bai Hao asked.

Ouyang Yan tried to exert herself, but she still couldn't muster any strength. However, she smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing serious, just a little bit of poison. I have the antidote on me, and I'll be able to handle it myself once I recover a bit. Don't worry about me, Barbie Prince."

Bai Hao had already saved her, and she didn't want to trouble him any further.

"Oh, then be careful." Hearing her say that, Bai Hao said "Oh," and then turned to leave...
