(Thirty-Three) Solo Kill

The Long Spear's sharpness was fully revealed, seemingly invincible. The cold spear tip seemed to be locked onto the Black Heavenly Venerate, yet it also seemed poised to stab the White Heavenly Venerate at any moment.

When these puppets were first handed over to Xiao Yan, they were all comparable to Dou Zun expert in terms of physical strength. They were able to contend with One-star Dou Zun with their powerful destructive force, unpredictable speed, and unyielding fighting style.

After being tempered by the Pill Lightning time and time again, the puppets' strength has not decreased but increased, and they are now comparable to two- or three- Dou Zun.

As for the Black and White Heavenly Venerates, they were both Six-Star Dou Zun powerhouses. Killing a Two-star Dou Zun within ten rounds would not be a problem for them. Even if it was a puppet with a tough body, given time, they could dismantle it.

Therefore, Xiao Yan had the puppets form a rudimentary Formation.

This Formation can efficiently concentrate the power within the bodies of those who compose Formation, for both offensive and defensive purposes. The only drawback is that it puts immense pressure on the physical bodies of each member, making it unsustainable. Fortunately, the puppets are immune to damage, so this can be disregarded.

The Formation composed of ten two- or three- Dou Zun can already unleash killing moves comparable to those of seven- or eight- Dou Zun.

In other words, even if the Black and White Heavenly Venerates joined forces, it would take them quite a bit of effort to truly withstand the falling Long Spear.

However, while ten puppets would put the Black and White Heavenly Venerates at a disadvantage, making them look disheveled and unable to defend themselves, they would not be able to defeat the two of them in a short time.

The Black and White Heavenly Venerates have worked together for many years and have an unparalleled understanding with each other. In addition, they have two more powerful Heavenly Venerate, the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerates Venerables, acting as their "backbone" and "supervisor" behind them. They are determined to fight to the death and will not back down. It is easy for the battle to drag on until the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerates arrive.

Therefore, Xiao Yan resorted to underhanded tactics.

Using the Long Spear formed by the combined power of the puppets, they attracted the attention of the Black and White Heavenly Venerates from the front, while secretly launching a sneak attack using the method of soul attack.

The members of the Soul Hall seem to generally cultivate Secret Technique related to the soul, and their Soul Power is also quite strong. Apart from the guardian soul bodies that are like cannon fodder, the elders are all quite perceptive, and most of them are Spirit Realm Soul.

However, Xiao Yan's sneak attack was very well concealed, and the semi-transparent spikes were not particularly powerful—at least not as powerful as Long Spear.

Under the threat of the Long Spear, the Black and White Heavenly Venerates were already on high alert and failed to notice the hidden aura behind them.

Imagine a wolf with a fierce look in its eyes, poised to pounce at any moment. Even the most perceptive person would find it hard to notice a poisonous bee stealthily approaching from behind.

But Xiao Yan was still worried.

If this move isn't enough to create an overwhelming advantage, and allows the Black and White Heavenly Venerates to hold out until the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerates arrive, then this entire series of arrangements will have been rendered useless.

"Hehehe..."

A deep, sinister, and terrifying voice came from behind the Silver Mask, causing even the Black and White Heavenly Venerates to pause slightly in surprise.

That signature laugh is all too familiar.

Just as the two were distracted by Xiao Yan's eerie laughter, the Long Spear slammed down hard towards White Heavenly Venerate.

"Be careful!" Black Heavenly Venerate did not give up immediately, because White Heavenly Venerate was powerless to fight alone, so he warned him, and his fighting Dou Qi burst forth, condensing into a cold chain, trying to strike the Long Spear from the side.

White Heavenly Venerate immediately tried to dodge.

However, a large, invisible, and colorless ball of Twisted Flame suddenly appeared inside the two of them.

That's right, it wasn't a wisp of flame, nor a small clump, but Twisted Flame comparable in size to a human head. It ignored space and the Dou Qi of the two, and appeared directly in their chest cavities.

The terrifying heat enveloped their internal organs, and their powerful Dou Qi vanished under the scorching flames. Even the strongest person's internal organs are always relatively weak parts, and almost instantly, the two suffered some injuries.

Their original movements were also greatly affected. Black Heavenly Venerate's chains lost their Dou Qi support and slowly dissipated. White Heavenly Venerate was also forced to stand still in place, unable to dodge.

For Dou Zun expert, such an injury is not difficult to heal, but if it occurs during a battle, it can be fatal.

"Damn it! It's the Fallen Heart Flame! He's Xiao Yan!"

Not all of Xiao Yan's information was a secret. The fact that he obtained the Fallen Heart Flame at the Jia Nan Academy was known to most of the Ancient Race.

However, knowing is one thing, being able to stop it is another.

Who would have thought that the son-in-law of the Gu Clan, a key figure in their cultivation, second only to those with Divine Bloodline, would actually wear a Silver Mask and secretly plot against people in the Soul Hall?

Don't you know that the Soul Hall and your Gu Clan are at odds?!

Just as the Black and White Heavenly Venerates were barely managing to suppress the rampant Fallen Heart Flame within their bodies with their Dou Qi, which was stronger than Xiao Yan's, the Long Spear, comparable to a killing move of a seven or eight- Dou Zun, was already within arm's reach.

With no chance of evasion and no Dou Technique to be used in such a short time, White Heavenly Venerate could only do his best to mobilize every bit of Dou Qi in his body, disregarding the damage to his internal organs, to build Dou Qi Armor in an attempt to reduce the damage of this attack.

However, at that moment, both the Black and White Heavenly Venerates simultaneously felt a sharp pain in the back of their heads.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two were in a flustered state, the "poisonous bee" finally stung them.

Another wave of unavoidable dizziness struck. Attacks to the soul were even harder to withstand than damage from Dou Qi. No matter how much stronger the Black and White Heavenly Venerates were than Xiao Yan, they couldn't do much.

When he regained consciousness, Black Heavenly Venerate had a large hole pierced in his chest by Long Spear, his ribs were completely shattered, and his heart was nowhere to be found.

Indeed, White Heavenly Venerate, as the first target, squeezed out his last bit of potential at the critical moment of life and death, and condensed a solid Dou Qi Armor.

In contrast, the Black Heavenly Venerate, who was somewhat inclined to abandon his partners and seek support, became much easier to subdue.

Taking advantage of the two's distraction, Xiao Yan changed the Long Spear's target at the last moment, piercing straight through Black Heavenly Venerate's chest!

After only two or three rounds of fighting, Xiao Yan was the first to kill one of his men!

Upon discovering this, White Heavenly Venerate's soul was almost ripped from his body, causing him to abandon his physical form and flee on the spot.

However, the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame forced White Heavenly Venerate to regain his rationality, and he dared not abandon the protection of his physical body—

The Black Heavenly Venerate's corpse was directly devoured by the invisible and colorless Fallen Heart Flame. The terrifying heat made the White Heavenly Venerate tremble with fear. The Black Heavenly Venerate Venerable's concealed soul was directly captured by the Fallen Heart Flame, letting out a heart-wrenching wail, yet powerless to break free.

"This is called One-star Dou Zun?!"

White Heavenly Venerate's face was contorted, his Dou Qi surged wildly, and he desperately suppressed the Fallen Heart Flame surging within his body. He pushed his speed to the limit, trying to escape without looking back.

But Xiao Yan would naturally not let the Black Heavenly Venerate Venerable travel alone.

The ten puppets immediately disbanded the Formation, and five of them struck the back of the other five puppets hard. At the same time, these five puppets also rushed forward with all their might. With the push from behind and their own speed combined, they actually overtook White Heavenly Venerate and appeared in front of him!

Damn it!

Faced with the puppets' obstruction, White Heavenly Venerate showed no intention of resisting and tried to escape from the blockade of the five puppets.

However, even if White Heavenly Venerate could easily send a puppet flying with a single palm strike, the remaining puppets could quickly take advantage of the moment to swarm him, continuing to distract White Heavenly Venerate preventing him from escaping.

In just a few moments, the remaining five puppets surrounded White Heavenly Venerate, leaving him with puppets everywhere, with nowhere to escape or hide.

His body was filled with the ever-emerging Fallen Heart Flame, forcing him to divert some of his Dou Qi to suppress it. His body was filled with puppets that knew nothing of retreat, and even when he struck them, they had no effect, leaving only faint palm prints and fist prints. They did not affect the puppets' movements at all, but instead made White Heavenly Venerate's hand ache.

The only good news is that Xiao Yan seems to have exhausted himself, and he hasn't used any more techniques.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, White Heavenly Venerate felt a chill seep into his entire body.

The Black Heavenly Venerate's wailing abruptly stopped.

Xiao Yan's aura erupted like a volcano, reaching a speed that even White Heavenly Venerate couldn't comprehend, forcefully propelling him from One-star Dou Zun to Six-Star Dou Zun.

He skipped five stars and reached the same level as White Heavenly Venerate!

Despair enveloped White Heavenly Venerate. Xiao Yan, One-star Dou Zun, could instantly kill Black Heavenly Venerate, who was at the same level as him. Now that he had become Six-Star Dou Zun, how could he possibly survive?

With his last chance of survival cut off, White Heavenly Venerate chose to self-destruct without hesitation!

White Heavenly Venerate could no longer afford to suppress the rampant Fallen Heart Flame within his body—as a fellow Six-Star Dou Zun, if he tried to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame, most of his Dou Qi would be unable to exert its power.

Since we're going to self-destruct anyway, let's just use this bit of Fallen Heart Flame as an extra bonus!

White Heavenly Venerate's physical body was rapidly expanding like an inflated balloon, the boundary between his limbs, torso, and head was constantly blurring, and his whole body was changing into a fleshy ball. His ferocious expression was stretched out, and destructive waves spread out with it.

"Heavenly Wrath Soul Breaking Finger!"

The cold, ruthless voice was like a judgment descended from the heavens. The surrounding World Energy seemed to boil, frantically gathering around Xiao Yan. The energy mist that shrouded the Myriad Medicine Mountain Range not far away was directly torn away and swept into Xiao Yan's body.

A tremendous power continuously condensed and then erupted at a speed capable of destroying meridians, gathering at Xiao Yan's fingertips.

Xiao Yan watched indifferently as White Heavenly Venerate's swollen body and slowly lowered it.

A terrifying aura, so vast it made one's soul tremble, was slowly taking shape, as if the heavens were enraged and were unleashing divine punishment, vowing to annihilate souls.

Even Dou Zun expert is as weak as an ant under this terrifying will, unable to break free or resist.

White Heavenly Venerate, who was about to self-destruct, stopped expanding and lost control of his Dou Qi like a lamb to the slaughter. His body was held down by the puppet, and he could only watch helplessly as the judgment fell.

A finger about ten feet long was formed under this will.

The index finger was still somewhat blurry. Clearly, even though Xiao Yan had raised his strength to the Six-Star Dou Zun level through the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, he was still unable to unleash the full power of a Heavenly Tier Dou Technique.

However, it's more than enough to deal with a White Heavenly Venerate who has lost his fighting spirit.

As the blurry finger slowly swept across the space, a Space Rift hundreds of feet wide silently appeared.

The Pill Realm was created by the Pill Tower Ancestor, who was at the Peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng. However, the successors of the Pill Tower were weaker and weaker with each generation, and they had no power to maintain the Pill Realm space. They could only let it break down continuously and make the most of its remaining energy to contribute to the Pill Gathering and provide a trial space.

This unstable and weak space was completely unable to withstand the power of the Heavenly Wrath Soul Breaking Finger. With only the residual force, the space shattered as if it were made of paper.

In the pitch-black void, the fingers, about ten feet in size, were faintly visible, but the terrifying intent was growing stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly impossible to ignore.

Under the gaze of the group of powerless Alchemist on the ground, the stunned Gu Xing, and the desperate White Heavenly Venerate, the finger finally landed on White Heavenly Venerate's stiff body.

At this moment, no ripples spread out, as if nothing had happened, and the finger simply vanished.

However, the light in White Heavenly Venerate's eyes disappeared.

In Xiao Yan's perception, White Heavenly Venerate's soul aura evaporated instantly, and his body, which had swelled to the point of being almost like a flesh ball, had no remaining will. Self-destruction was out of the question, and he died abruptly.

The powerful aura of the Six-Star Dou Zun vanished instantly, and his swollen body fell from mid-air like shattered porcelain, then slowly crumbled into dust, and even the energy fluctuations disappeared.

"Is this the power of Heavenly Tier Dou Technique? It's truly terrifying!"

After unleashing such a powerful attack, Xiao Yan felt a sense of emptiness within his body. Even the originally raging Strange Heavenly Flames seemed to have weakened considerably, clearly indicating that it had been greatly depleted.

"Hehehe, as expected of the son-in-law of the Ancient Clan Chief, it's one thing to have ten Dou Zun level puppets, but you can also use Secret Technique to boost your strength and such powerful Heavenly Tier Dou Technique with ease. If you weren't so exhausted right now, it would be quite troublesome to take you down."

Accompanied by familiar laughter, two aged figures appeared before Xiao Yan.

These two were none other than the Eighth Heavenly Venerate and Ninth Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall. One cultivated Ice Attribute Dou Qi, and the other cultivated water-attribute Dou Qi. When the two joined forces, their combat power increased by an unknown amount, and they could even contend with Nine-star Dou Zun venerable.

In comparison, even with the help of ten puppets, Xiao Yan, who had used the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, was no match for them.

This also pleased the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerates Venerable.

Xiao Yan's head is incredibly valuable. As long as you capture Xiao Yan, you can choose any Heavenly Tier Dou Technique or cultivation method you want, and you can also get all kinds of Eighth Rank Spirit Pill.

Just then, Xiao Yan seemed to give up resisting, his aura weakened, and he fell from Six-Star Dou Zun back to One-star Dou Zun.

"You think you can just surrender? That's right, facing the two of us, you have no chance of turning the tables," the Ninth Heavenly Venerate said with a sinister smile.

Completely unaware, a person emerged from the hundred-foot-wide Space Rift.
