"Protector Wu, fear not, Yun Shan is here."
A majestic Aura, like a giant Dragon awakening, instantly enveloped the entire Yun Lan Mountain. A powerful pressure, no less formidable than that of Xiao Se and Venerable Yao, spread out from the depths of Yun Lan Mountain and finally permeated the plaza. Suddenly, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and the others on the plaza couldn't help but furrow their brows.
"I never expected that old fellow Yun Shan to still be alive, and he has even achieved a Breakthrough to the Dou Zong level." Jia Xingtian said to Hai Bodong with a grave expression. He had watched Xiao Se fly instantly to stand before Venerable Yao without using Dou Qi wings to block Protector Wu's attack, so he knew Xiao Se had reached the Dou Zong level. However, before he could recover from his astonishment, another Dou Zong appeared.
Facing the black chains shooting out from the Soul Hall Protector, Xiao Se released three giant swords of different flames, knocking them away, while Venerable Yao used the Bone Chilling Flame to block the remaining two attacks aimed at him.
"Another Dou Zong. I really didn't expect the Cloud Mist Sect to be colluding with the Hall of Souls. What do we do now?" Looking at Yun Shan, who was stepping through the air, Venerable Yao frowned and asked Xiao Se. He knew that the Cloud Mist SectSect Master, Yun Yun, was Xiao Se's girlfriend.
"Wait and see." Xiao Se smiled faintly. If he wanted to kill Protector Wu, he could do it by simply releasing the Ice Fire Domain, the Angelic Domain, and the bonus from his Divine RankSpirit Bone; there was no need to even use the secret technique Fire Gods Wrath. The reason he was going to such lengths was to test Yun Shan.
Better safe than sorry.
Except for his wife and children, Xiao Se never easily trusted anyone.
Therefore, when removing the Hall of Souls' secret technique for Yun Shan, he had taken advantage of the man's muddled state to plant a seed flame fused with different flames. Usually, that seed flame would remain buried deep within the Soul, extremely difficult to detect. If it were ever detonated, Yun Shan would be instantly devoured by the different flames, and not even his Soul would be able to escape.
The might of the Hall of Souls was already deeply ingrained in people's hearts. If Yun Shan dared to play the double agent with him, he wouldn't mind sending him on his way.
Of course, if Yun Shan had no intention of being a traitor, the seed flame would only benefit him, increasing his Cultivation speed.
"Yun Shan, I hope you don't disappoint me." Xiao Se watched the arriving Yun Shan quietly, silently thinking to himself.
"Yun Shan, you go and hold that brat off first. Once I'm done dealing with Yao Chen, I'll come to assist you." Protector Wu said to Yun Shan in a tone that was almost a command.
"Leave it to me, Protector Wu." Yun Shan gave Protector Wu a cold smile, scanned Xiao Se and Venerable Yao, and nodded at the former. Then, his gaze turned fierce, and his hand seals changed abruptly. He shouted sharply: "Wind Brake Annihilation Gang!"
As the shout fell, a shrill sword chime rang out in the sky. Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone present, a massive Dou Qi longsword instantly condensed above Yun Shan's head.
The Dou Qi longsword spun crazily.
Yun Shan changed his hand seals and pointed his finger at Xiao Se, while Xiao Se had already secretly prepared to detonate the seed flame inside Yun Shan's body.
Just as everyone thought that the crazily spinning massive longsword was about to shoot toward Xiao Se, they saw Yun Shan suddenly change the direction of the Dou Qi longsword, aiming it at Protector Wu before him. Because the distance between the two was extremely close, and Protector Wu was too confident in the Hall of Souls' secret technique and his own strength, he had not been on guard against Yun Shan. Caught off guard, he had no time to dodge.
"Yun Shan, you actually dare to betray the Hall of Souls!"
Following Protector Wu's scream, the massive Dou Qi longsword pierced his back without any surprise. His protective Dou Qi, which resembled black smoke, was pierced through. The longsword's momentum remained undiminished, carrying Protector Wu across the sky like a black streak before finally slamming heavily into a mountain Peak not far from the plaza.
The mountain collapsed, and Protector Wu was buried under giant rocks.
"What is going on?" Seeing this scene, Venerable Yao was full of confusion. Didn't Yun Shan defect to the Hall of Souls? Why did he suddenly attack Protector Wu for no reason?
"It's very simple. SeniorYun Shan, as the previous Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, knows full well the wild ambitions of the Hall of Souls. How could he truly side with the Hall of Souls and ruin the thousand-year foundation of the Cloud Mist Sect?" Xiao Se smiled faintly.
At this moment, Yun Shan flew to the front of Xiao Se and Venerable Yao. He first nodded to Venerable Yao, then said to Xiao Se with a grave expression: "That Soul Hall Protector's strength is far above mine. I caught him off guard with one move just now, but he won't be incapacitated. While he is injured, let the three of us go and surround him. Otherwise, if he escapes, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"No need, leave the rest to me." Xiao Se waved his hand, his figure turning into a wisp of light smoke. He instantly disappeared from where he was and reappeared on the mountain Peak several miles away.
"That was just now… an Earth RankAdvanced movement Dou Technique?" Looking at Xiao Se's suddenly disappearing figure, even with Venerable Yao's Heaven-level Soul power, he couldn't react for a moment. When he saw Xiao Se appear several miles away, he gasped.
Earth RankAdvancedCultivation Techniques were already rare, and it was the first time he had seen an Earth RankAdvanced movement Dou Technique, even with his experience. In his knowledge, the strongest movement Dou Technique he had seen, Three Thousand Lightning Movement, was only Earth Rank Low. Now he finally understood why Xiao Se dared to make such a bold statement about solving Protector Wu alone. With the different flames and this Earth RankAdvanced movement technique, he was practically invincible below the Dou Zun level.
Jia Xingtian and the others on the plaza also gasped after hearing Venerable Yao utter the words "Earth RankAdvanced movement Dou Technique." Damn, it was one thing to see Earth Rank Low Dou Techniques from two juniors today, but even an Earth RankAdvanced movement Dou Technique had appeared. Was the Earth RankDou Technique really that worthless?
"Protector Wu, stop playing dead. I know you are still alive." Looking at the collapsed mountain below, Xiao Se waved his hand, and the golden different flame instantly enveloped the entire mountain. The mountain then disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ah, this damned different flame." A curse came from the golden flames, and a ball of black smoke darted out from the sea of fire, revealing Protector Wu's wretched figure. First, he was sneak-attacked by Yun Shan, and then he was subjected to carpet-bombing by Xiao Se. At this moment, he felt incredibly frustrated. Clearly, the opponent's strength was only a three-star Dou Zong, but because of this damned different flame, he was restrained to death.
"Venerable Yao, do you think he can do it alone? Should we go over and help?" He, of course, referred to Xiao Se. With his own life on the line, Yun Shan had to be cautious.
"Rest assured, with that little guy's strength, even a Peak Dou Zong might not be able to do anything to him." Venerable Yao smiled indifferently. He also wanted to see what level Xiao Se's current strength had reached, then asked with some surprise: "By the way, what is going on with you and that Soul Hall Protector?"
"Sigh, don't mention it." Yun Shan sighed and said bitterly: "This has to start from more than a year ago. At that time, my cultivation was stuck at the Dou Huang Peak, and my Lifespan was coming to an end. The Soul Hall Protector suddenly found me and gave me a Break-Sect Pill, asking my Cloud Mist Sect to submit to the Hall of Souls. I saw the other party's powerful strength, and I was at the end of my rope, so I agreed in order not to anger them. Who knew that the Hall of Souls eats human flesh without spitting out the bones? They actually planted a secret technique in the Break-Sect Pill they gave me. With this secret technique, they could easily devour my Soul to improve their strength. Fortunately, it was discovered by Xiao Se, who removed the secret technique for me, otherwise…"
Speaking to the end, Yun Shan shook his head helplessly.
"That sounds like the style of the Hall of Souls." Venerable Yao realized. At the same time, a flash of cunning crossed his old eyes. Xiao Se leaving a seed flame in Yun Shan's body might deceive others, but it couldn't deceive him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this little guy was truly thorough in his actions.
While the two were talking, Xiao Se released the Ice Fire Domain and the Angelic Domain. The milky white, crimson red, and brilliant gold colors spread out from Xiao Se as the center, sealing off most of Yun Lan Mountain.
"This feeling is…" A look of gravity flashed in Venerable Yao's eyes. Being in this three-colored strange space, he found that he could not mobilize any external energy. Even the Bone Chilling Flame began to restless, and the Dou Qi in his body seemed to be gradually disappearing.
Yun Shan felt the same way. He didn't have different flames, so the suppression from the two Domains was even more obvious.
At this moment, he felt his own strength drop by more than thirty percent. However, he did not show any fear; instead, he was full of smiles. He felt more and more fortunate that Xiao Se was his Disciple's man. The stronger Xiao Se was, the greater the chance of Protector Wu falling, and the happier he was.
Similarly, on the plaza, except for Yun Yun and Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, Fama, and others received the same treatment as Yun Shan.
"Is this the effect of the Flame Mantra after fusing four different flames?" There was no concept of a Domain in the Fighting Qi Continent. Venerable Yao looked at the people on the plaza, then looked at Yun Shan, and finally regarded this strange power of Xiao Se as the effect of the Flame Mantra. After all, even he had never seen the dragon-shaped different flame among those four.
"Ah, damn it, my Dou Qi." In the center of the Domain, Protector Wu suffered the most obvious suppression. Under Xiao Se's deliberate targeting, his Dou Qi was purified by the Angelic Domain by more than half.
"Protector Wu, accept your fate. Today next year will be the anniversary of your death. Rest assured, the Hall of Souls will be buried with you in the future." Xiao Se waved his sword finger, and a golden flame giant sword, even larger than the one Yun Shan had used earlier, instantly condensed. Under Xiao Se's control, it pierced through the Void Realm and shot toward Protector Wu.
"Scarlet Flame Sword, Break-Limit, go!"
Feeling the powerful momentum in the different flame giant sword, Protector Wu's eyes were splitting with rage. He poured all his Dou Qi into the three black iron chains without regard for his life.
"Three-Stage Soul Lock!"
A palm shrouded in black mist reached out, and then the hand seals changed. The three chains hovering above Protector Wu's head shot toward the different flame giant sword with a whistling sound.
"Pfft!"
The black chains collided with the different flame giant sword. In the situation where the Domain suppressed Dou Qi, facing the different flame that could restrain the black chains, there was almost no surprise. The black chains were smashed to pieces by the different flame giant sword like dry wood. The different flame giant sword's momentum remained undiminished. In Protector Wu's terrified gaze, it pierced through his chest, nailed his entire body to the ground, and began to burn his Soul.
"Ah!" Protector Wu's scream rose to the sky. While screaming, he said: "Ah, you damned bastard, this is what you forced me to do. And Yun Shan, I will make you pay for betraying my Hall of Souls."
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Technique." Protector Wu forcibly mobilized the last trace of Dou Qi and unleashed the move from the original work to devour Yun Shan's Soul, but it seemed to be of no use. He performed it for a long time, but Yun Shan was completely fine.
"How could you possibly remove my Hall of Souls secret technique?" Leaving behind the last extremely unwilling and venomous words, Protector Wu was annihilated into nothingness by the golden different flame.
Feeling Protector Wu's Aura completely disappear from this Void Realm, Xiao Se breathed a sigh of relief while feeling a bit depressed. This Protector Wu was a bit too weak. Xiao Se hadn't even unleashed his true strength, and he was already dead? If he had known, he wouldn't have let Yun Shan sneak-attack him.
If the dead Protector Wu knew what Xiao Se was thinking right now, he would definitely be unable to help but spit out a mouthful of old blood and curse: "Damn it, if you have the ability, don't use the Domain, don't use the different flames, and see if I can't beat you to death."
Putting away the Domain and the different flames, Xiao Se's figure flickered and instantly arrived in front of Venerable Yao and Yun Shan.
Feeling the suppression around him disappear, Venerable Yao sighed softly and said: "I just used my Soul power to perceive it, and that Protector Wu is indeed dead."
"Hmm." Xiao Se nodded, then asked: "I wonder what plans Venerable Yao has for the future?"
"Teach my DiscipleXiao Yan and let him become stronger." Hearing the implication in Xiao Se's words, Venerable Yao smiled bitterly.
"Very well, everyone has their own aspirations. Take care. The Hall of Souls still has a Human-level Protector hidden in the dark, with strength roughly between one and three-star Dou Zong." Xiao Se did not try to keep him too much, but he did offer a reminder.
"Hmm." Venerable Yao nodded, controlled Xiao Yan's body, and his figure flickered, turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the sky.
During the flight, Xiao Yan, who had been stunned by the battle at the Dou Zong level, finally asked the question in his heart: "Teacher, I just heard Yun Shan say Xiao Se. Is that Xiao Huohuo a disguise for Xiao Se?"
"Hmm, you have also seen his strength. Even I have never seen such a formidable Genius. As long as he doesn't fall, he is destined to be the protagonist of this World in the future. If possible, I hope you can let go of your previous prejudices against him and not be enemies with him. After all, you have no fundamental conflict, and in the end, it is the Xiao Family that owes him." Venerable Yao persuaded earnestly.
"I know." Xiao Yan clenched his fists, a flash of coldness and unwillingness passed through his eyes without a trace, and he continued: "Teacher, I want to go back to the Xiao Family first to see my father, and then continue to go out and Cultivate, looking for different flames."
Thinking back to Xiao Se's strength, Xiao Yan felt a sense of sourness in his heart. He asked himself if his talent was no less than Xiao Se's, only his circumstances were different. If one day he also found a different flame and used the Flame Mantra to fuse multiple different flames, he would definitely be able to compete with Xiao Se in the future, to avenge the humiliation and take back the 'wife.'
On the other side, Xiao Se had already landed on the plaza with Yun Shan.
"Are you okay!" As soon as they landed, Yun Yun greeted him, looking him up and down. After finding that he was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Yun'er. Don't you trust your man?" Xiao Se smiled faintly and took Yun Yun into his arms.
"Let go of me, there are still people here." Yun Yun was full of shyness.
Watching Yun Yun and Xiao Se being intimate, Yun Shan's old face showed a bright smile. Being young is really good.
