The Might of a Da Dou Shi

While it was rare for a Dou Zhe to kill a Dou Master, the continent had no shortage of Heavenly Prides, and such things had happened before. Some peerless geniuses could achieve the feat of slaying Dou Masters while still at the Dou Zhe realm.

However, killing three Dou Masters at once—and doing so instantly—was something they did not know had ever happened on the continent. But for them, this was absolutely the first time they had witnessed it.

That sword had not merely slain three Dou Masters; it had also shattered their understanding of the world. So a Dou Zhe could actually be this powerful.

Lu Yunxiao sheathed his sword and stood still, a trace of pallor on his face. After the prolonged battle, coupled with using Immortal's Flight Beyond the Heavens and now Sword Separating Worlds, he had little Dou Qi left. Yet his spirits were exceptionally high.

Sword Separating Worlds truly deserved to be called an Earth Tier Dou Technique. Its power was astonishingly formidable.

What a pity. Its flaw is far too great. Sword Separating Worlds grows stronger the more it is cultivated, but that surging power places an immense burden on the body. Once the body can no longer endure it, it will explode and die. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to keep it hidden and refrain from using it.

Lu Yunxiao sighed inwardly, his desire to modify Sword Separating Worlds growing ever stronger.

If he could eliminate Sword Separating Worlds' drawback, it would definitely become a powerful trump card.

At least in the early stages, the power of Sword Separating Worlds would be absolutely unstoppable.

However, Sword Separating Worlds was ultimately an Earth Tier Dou Technique. Even with his extraordinary comprehension, removing its flaw would not be easy. After all, learning Martial Arts and modifying Martial Arts were entirely different matters.

Therefore, he still needed to gain more experience and deepen his knowledge and understanding of Martial Arts.

Having made up his mind, Lu Yunxiao shifted his gaze toward the three headless bodies directly ahead. His eyes were indifferent, his expression calm and unruffled.

"Villains die from talking too much, and villains die from underestimating their opponents. If you had charged at me right away instead of wasting so much breath, I might not have had the chance to use Sword Separating Worlds."

Lu Yunxiao shook his head. Through this incident, he understood one principle even more clearly: when it was time to strike, he had to be ruthless and decisive. If he became careless or underestimated his enemy, he could very well be killed instead.

The lessons of the past were warnings for the future!

If he encountered enemies in the future, he would certainly destroy them completely in the most decisive manner possible. He would never leave them even the slightest opportunity.

"Ah!"

Just as thoughts raced through Lu Yunxiao's mind, a woman's pain-filled cry rang out. He turned his gaze and saw a figure flying straight toward him.

Lu Yunxiao's expression changed at the sight of her. He hurriedly caught her, but the force behind her sent him staggering back more than ten steps before he could stabilize himself.

"Mentor Ruolin, are you alright?" Lu Yunxiao asked hurriedly as he looked at the figure in his arms, a hint of concern in his voice.

"I'm fine..." Mentor Ruolin struggled to speak, but another mouthful of blood spilled from her lips, staining Lu Yunxiao's white robes. The glaring scarlet was painfully conspicuous.

Lu Yunxiao's expression darkened. One look was enough to tell that Mentor Ruolin's injuries were far from light.

"You still dared to lose focus while fighting me? This is your punishment!"

A deep, domineering voice sounded. Lu Yunxiao could not help looking up, only to see a middle-aged man dressed in black.

There was nothing particularly remarkable about his appearance, but the purple armor covering his body made Lu Yunxiao narrow his eyes, his expression turning incomparably grave.

"Da Dou Shi!" Lu Yunxiao murmured, his eyes full of wariness.

Three streaks of light sped through the gloomy sky.

Each of them had a pair of dazzling wings behind their backs. With every beat of those wings, their bodies darted swiftly through the clouds.

Dou Qi Wings—only those at the Dou Wang realm and above could achieve this. It was also the symbol of a Dou Wang, proving that the three people soaring through the skies were all at least Dou Wang experts.

"Elder Li, Elder Zhao, let's pick up the pace. If we take too long, I'm afraid Zhang Yuyan and the others won't be able to hold on."

The middle-aged man in the lead had fiery red wings beating behind him as his calm voice rang out.

"We understand, Captain Huang!" As his words fell, the two elders beside him nodded as well. Their wings beat fiercely, and their speed increased once more.

Compared to third-tier Gryphon Beasts, Dou Wang experts were more than ten times faster.

Moreover, the third-tier Gryphon Beasts had been carrying a full load of people, making them even slower. By comparison, Dou Wang experts were nearly twenty times faster than them.

The Black Crag Mountain Range was not far from Peace Town. Gryphon Beasts needed nearly a full day of flight to arrive, while Dou Wang experts could reach the scene in at most half an hour. Since these three Dou Wangs were flying at full speed, that time could be shortened considerably.

This was why Jia Nan Academy had dispatched Dou Wang experts as reinforcements. If they had sent an ordinary team, by the time they arrived, it would truly have been far too late.

Of the three reinforcements, two were elders of Jia Nan Academy's Outer Court. Captain Huang, who led them, was the deputy captain of Jia Nan Academy's Law Enforcement Team and an eight-star Dou Wang expert. Even throughout the entire Black Corner Region, he was a renowned figure.

The fact that Jia Nan Academy had sent him personally was enough to show how seriously it regarded this incident.

After roughly five or six minutes, a towering mountain range came into view in the distance.

"Captain Huang, we're almost at the Black Crag Mountain Range," one elder said, a faint note of delight in his voice.

"Good. Let's go faster and prepare to land." Captain Huang replied, his wings beating as he shot forward at extreme speed.

Bang! With a loud crash, two figures were sent flying and smashed heavily into the ground.

Lu Yunxiao threw his head back and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He felt as if his internal organs were burning, while an indescribable heaviness pressed against his chest.

The web between his right thumb and forefinger had split open, blood staining the hilt of the Flying Rainbow Sword red. Dust covered his white robes, his long hair had fallen loose, and he looked thoroughly disheveled.

Beside him, Mentor Ruolin's delicate body trembled. Her face was deathly pale, blood streaming from her mouth. She too appeared gravely wounded.

Lu Yunxiao looked at Mentor Ruolin with concern and struggled slightly, only to find his entire body weak and limp. Even standing up was difficult.

"A Da Dou Shi is indeed a Da Dou Shi. He's still far too powerful for me right now."

The corner of Lu Yunxiao's mouth twitched as a bitter smile appeared on his face. He was still too weak. Even together with Mentor Ruolin, they had been completely overwhelmed by the opposing Da Dou Shi.

The two of them had joined forces, yet before even a hundred exchanges had passed, they had been brutally suppressed by the opposing Da Dou Shi.
