Is you!

Yi Tianyun didn't know what happened with Nian Ciyu and the rest of Heavenly Edict Divine Territory elders at the moment, but he didn't exactly try to accumulate more tokens. He just casually walked around, and whoever tried to stop him would be killed, and that was the only time he would collect tokens from them. 

He didn't care about all these cultivators. As long as they didn't give up their token, they would be killed without mercy. But as time went by, not even once did Yi Tianyun see his enemies giving up their tokens. As a result, they were killed without having any chance of redemption. 

Yi Tianyun being alone was his own decision, and it was their own fault for thinking that he was easy prey! 

"They come at me one group after another. I've got quite a lot of Exp!" Yi Tianyun said with a satisfied look on his face. He was close to breaking through to the 7th Layer Earth Monarch stage. Now, Yi Tianyun was a little bit unsure of breakthrough right here as he didn't know what effect the Heavenly Tribulation would bring to this place. If the enemy took his Heavenly Tribulation, then it would be the same as not breakingthrough at all. 

But it was for a later date as Yi Tianyun now had to kill the enemy that kept coming at him. He was on the path to completing the 1st stage of the War of Ascension, but he was in no hurry whatsoever. Yi Tianyun didn't even care about his current ranking as he knew that the 1st stage was only to cull the weak. 

Yi Tianyun didn't even care if there was a cultivator out there trying to get 10.000 tokens all by themselves, as the end would be the same anyway! 

"I didn't expect a chick like you would be able to go this far, but what you are going to do now?" a voice was heard from the side.

"How dare you use poison against me!" A familiar voice was heard from the side, attracting Yi Tianyun's attention. Yi Tianyun knew that it was Xiao Murong's voice, and it seemed she was in trouble! 

Yi Tianyun frowned and walked over to the scene. Since they were on the same side, Yi Tianyun was thinking of helping her a little bit. Once the scene was already in eyesight, Yi Tianyun noticed that Xiao Murong was definitely in trouble right now. Her face was black, and it seemed she was poisoned pretty badly. From the looks of it, she wouldn't be able to shake off her chaser either. 

Jade River Divine Poison: Greatly reduce opponent's combat power and eventually paralyze them completely. 

Yi Tianyun managed to detect the poison using Appraisal Eye. It was a rare toxin that he had never seen before. It seemed Xiao Murong rushed toward the finish line without really minding her surroundings. Otherwise, she wouldn't be poisoned in the first place!

"Why? There is no rule stating that I can't use poison here! I just didn't expect you to be such an idiot! Now, I will give you two choices! Either give up your tokens and surrender, or I will take it from you by force!" the unknown cultivator said coldly. He was at the 6th Layer Earth Monarch stage, which was lower than Xiao Murong. It seemed he was using his brain against someone stronger than him.

"Well, before I take the token from you, it would be a waste if I don't enjoy your body first!" the unknown cultivator said as his followers laughed lustfully. 

"There is no way I would surrender against you fools!" Xiao Murong shouted with a fine sword in her hand. She was as stubborn as always, even in the face of danger like this. It seemed to be impossible for her to admit defeat, especially since she had just barely participated in the War of Ascension! She felt like she hadn't given her best just yet. It was embarrassing for someone of her stature to get eliminated on the first stage! 

"Why don't you come and fight us then?" the unknown cultivator said while laughing at Xiao Murong as she couldn't move properly anymore. The toxin on her body had already started to paralyze her. 

"You are going to die here!" Xiao Murong said as she swung her sword forward, creating a huge blade aura that could cut anything on its path. The unknown cultivators' complexion became slightly paler as they were surprised that Xiao Murong could still do something like that even in her current condition. 

"Attack her!" The unknown cultivator shouted nervously, and several of his followers immediately rushed toward Xiao Murong to finish her off. But once more, Xiao Murong showed how obstinate she could be! Her body suddenly emitted an intense green light, and countless trees and vines grew from the ground, entangling several cultivators that rushed toward her. 

"What is this? How could she still move?" The unknown cultivator nervously shouted as he noticed that the trees and vines were too tough for him to break and save his followers. Furthermore, when someone attacked the trees and vines, a green light was emitted from where they attacked and drained their vitality!

Xiao Murong killed the cultivators without touching them herself! He drained the cultivators that attacked her trees and vines until they died! 

Furthermore, she controlled the vines, ordering them to attack the other cultivators. The group was in disarray as the unknown cultivator seemed too shocked to issue a new command. 

She stabbed the cultivators with the vines, once again draining their vitality and absorbing it for herself. 

"Quick! We have to stop her!" the unknown cultivator shouted while backing off slowly. Clearly, he was too afraid to get close to the trees and vines! But after a short while, the trees and vines stopped moving. It was clear that the toxin on her body finally completely took over her body, and she fell into complete paralysis! 

The unknown cultivator smirked victoriously as he finally realised that Xiao Murong couldn't do anything anymore. 

"I finally subdued her! She actually killed two of my brothers before she was completely paralyzed! What an amazing girl!" The unknown cultivator said as he approached Xiao Murong's body with a dagger in his hand.

Xiao Murong just bit her lips as she could no longer do anything to save herself. She couldn't even throw her tokens as she was completely paralyzed! But as the unknown cultivator got closer to Xiao Murong, a familiar figure appeared and kicked the unknown cultivator away.

"You!" Xiao Murong said as she was startled to see Yi Tianyun here, saving her from her demise.
