Overnight, the four of them had all recovered to their Peak states. At this moment, the configuration of Chen Yang's group was:
Chen Yang, Three-Star Dou Zong, possessing two Earth Rank High-tier Dou Techniques. After activating the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, even an ordinary Nine-Star Dou Zong could be killed by him in seconds if caught off guard.
Xiao Yan, One-Star Dou Wang, possessing the Earth-rank Low-tier Dou Skill Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler and the Imperial Rank Dou Technique Ghost Possession. With Yao Lao's combined effort, he could possess Peak Dou Zong strength.
Xiao Yi Xian, One-Star Dou Wang, also mastering three Di-rank Dou Technique. Facing the poison-using experts of the Izumo Empire, she could unleash combat power rivaling a Peak Dou Wang, and perhaps even some low-tier Dou Huang who specialized in poison might not be able to gain any advantage in front of her.
Qing Lin, Nine-Star Dou Ling, but possessing the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, she mastered the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor with combat power comparable to a Peak Dou Huang. If the experts of the Myriad Scorpion Gate drove snake-type Demonic Beasts to attack, Qing Lin could even turn enemies into friends.
It was noon, and the bright sun was shining in the sky. This time, when the fire energy was most vigorous, had a natural suppression on the Yin-cold attribute of Poison Dou Qi. If it weren't for Xiao Yi Xian having the Calamity Poison Body, she would also have been suppressed under this sun.
Conversely, Chen Yang and Xiao Yan, in such a situation, were like fish in water or dragons entering the sea, able to unleash twelve percent of their strength.
"Let's go!"
Spotting the location of the Myriad Scorpion Gate, Chen Yang waved his hand and led everyone straight toward the mountain gate of the Myriad Scorpion Gate.
The four people, who did not conceal their figures, were quickly discovered by the members of the Myriad Scorpion Gate. In particular, Chen Yang, a Dou Zong who was walking through the air without using Dou Qi Wings, made the Myriad Scorpion Gate Disciples guarding the mountain gate terrified, so they quickly reported to their Sect Leader, Xie Shan.
A moment later, Xie Shan, with a gloomy face and wearing magnificent robes, flew up from the buildings in the mountains and headed straight for Chen Yang's group.
"I did not know of your arrival, Senior. Xie Shan failed to welcome you from afar, and I hope Senior will forgive my sins." At this moment, Xie Shan only had the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Huang. Looking at the one Dou Zong, two Dou Wangs, and one Dou Ling in front of him, he absolutely dared not offend them.
"I cannot forgive you!" Looking at the smiling Xie Shan, Chen Yang spat out three words indifferently, then joined his fingers and slashed a crimson Sword Qi toward Xie Shan. Xie Shan's pupils shook violently, feeling as if a brilliant giant sun was crashing down on him. He mustered all his Dou Qi to dodge, but it felt as if he were nailed in the air.
"Old Ancestor, save me!" Xie Shan's eyes were about to crack. He only had time to shout this one sentence before he was directly split into two halves.
"Ah!!!" Below, all the Myriad Scorpion Gate Disciples were stunned to see this scene.
Their Sect Leader, a Seven-Star Dou Huang, was split into two halves by that young man in a single encounter. Even in the Myriad Scorpion Gate, where people died every day, it appeared somewhat horrifying.
Chen Yang nodded with satisfaction. The Dou Technique he had just used was the High-Grade Profound Tier Dou Technique "Sunset Sword Art" that he had obtained when he first triggered the System mechanism in Wutan City. With his Dou Zong cultivation, if he couldn't kill a Seven-Star Dou Huang with one strike, he would really be laughed to death!
"Boom!"
Just then, under the scorching sun, a terrifying Dou Qi fluctuation suddenly flashed through the churning green poison clouds.
Then, an old figure appeared strangely in mid-air. He held a flat crutch in his hand. From his complexion, he seemed to be just an ordinary old man, but the piercing brilliance in his eyes and the hideous scorpion head flashing with purple light on the crutch in his hand were all declaring that this old man was no ordinary old man.
"Young man, as a Dou Zong, to actually kill a younger generation Dou Huang is truly not a respectable act!" Xie Bi Yan looked at Chen Yang with turbid eyes and said indifferently.
"I originally thought that with the help of the Hall of Souls, you would at least be a Three-Star Dou Zong by now. I didn't expect you to be only Two-star, and it looks like you just advanced recently?" Chen Yang looked at Xie Bi Yan, feeling slightly disappointed.
Actually, the moment he stepped over the Myriad Scorpion Gate with Xiao Yan, he knew Xie Bi Yan's background; after all, the System hadn't moved at all just now.
"Hmph! Young man, today this old man will let you know that even if I just advanced to Two-star Dou Zong, it is not something you, a junior, can look down upon at will!" After speaking, Xie Bi Yan stomped his crutch in the void, and eerie green Dou Qi instantly erupted, about to attack Chen Yang.
"Myriad Scorpion Gate Disciples, obey orders: kill the people traveling with this kid!" Xie Bi Yan said, heading straight for Chen Yang.
"Old thing, today this seat will also let you know that in the face of absolute strength, relying on your age and selling your seniority is futile!" After speaking, a long sword with a crimson blade suddenly appeared in Chen Yang's hand.
"Buddha's Light Illuminates Everywhere!" Chen Yang mused in his heart. The long sword in his hand was surrounded by golden light, and then a golden Sword Qi rushed directly at Xie Bi Yan.
"Hmph, a mere yellow-mouthed child dares to look down on this old man. Let me capture you and offer you to that person, making your Soul suffer the pain of heart-devouring day and night!" Xie Bi Yan sneered in his heart. As his green Dou Qi surged, he also unleashed a High-Grade Profound Tier Dou Technique, intending to clash head-on with Chen Yang.
However, this move, "Buddha's Light Illuminates Everywhere," when unleashed by the Peak Hong Mao in "Zou Tianya," was enough to easily cope with the Four-Sword Combination of Tiao Tiao and others. After being modified by the System, this sword move, with its righteousness reaching its Peak, was simply invincible when dealing with Xie Bi Yan's sinister and poisonous Dou Qi.
Therefore, when Xie Bi Yan discovered that his Poison Dou Qi was being destroyed bit by bit by the golden light, it was already too late.
"How is this possible!!!" Xie Bi Yan, just like Xie Shan earlier, had eyes full of shock. He wanted to rise up and counterattack, but it was already too late.
The golden sword light annihilated his green Poison Dou Qi like a withered tree, then destroyed the crutch in his hand. At the last moment, Xie Bi Yan cruelly blew off one of his own arms, barely saving half his life.
However, how could Chen Yang let him leave?
He saw him backhand a move of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, and nine dark red Sword Qi dragons pounced on Xie Bi Yan from nine directions.
"Oh no!"
Xie Bi Yan looked at the fire dragons that had completely blocked his retreat and cursed inwardly. Just as he was about to fight to the death, a strange black mist suddenly appeared above Xie Bi Yan, reaching out to scoop him out of the sky full of fire shadows...
