Two Protectors

White flames flickered faintly, as if trying to burn through the chains.

Upon Wu Protector Wu's claws suddenly pierced through Old Man Yao's body, black light surged, and with a sinister laugh, he forcibly absorbed him into a cloud of black mist!

With his palm tightly gripping the black mist, Wu Protector quickly drew it into a ring on his finger with a hand seal, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hehehe... Even without any other gains, having Yao Chen's soul will still earn me a reward from the Hall Master. At that time, my strength will definitely reach the level of Heavenly Rank Protector. However, that's not enough. If I capture the souls of the powerful figures here and take back their Heavenly Flames, becoming Dou Zun wouldn't be impossible..."

Seeing Old Man Yao being put into the ring, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly became somewhat dazed.

I'll do my best.

Xiao Ming frowned and said slowly, "If there are no unexpected events, it shouldn't be too difficult to snatch Old Man Yao from among the Hall of Souls Protector."

"Yun Shan, come with me to deal with Xiao Ming."

After placing the Yao Chen into the ring, Wu Protector said in a sinister tone.

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures in the square couldn't help but smirk.

Good heavens, no wonder a powerful figure suddenly appeared here; it turns out he's connected to the Misty Cloud Sect. (Book 69, New)

"Wu Protector, this is a private matter of my Misty Cloud Sect. Isn't it inappropriate for you to interfere?"

Yun Shan is currently less affected by the Hall of Souls, and he is unwilling to join forces with Wu Protector to deal with Xiao Ming. Dou Zong expert is not someone who can be spared at will. Moreover, although Xiao Ming and the Misty Cloud Sect have some conflicts because of Xiao Yan, judging from the previous exchange, it is at least not a life-or-death feud, and there is still room for reconciliation. If he were to make a move now, it would truly be a fight to Undying death.

Helping Wu Protector deal with Xiao Ming is also inconsistent with the usual style of the Misty Cloud Sect.

However, because Wu Protector had once helped him break through to the Dou Zong, Yun Shan's words were quite tactful.

"Hmph! You really think you're something special? Don't forget who helped you break through to the Dou Zong. I'll ask you one more time, are you going to lay a hand on me or not!" A pair of scarlet eyes appeared from the black mist in the sky, staring indifferently at Yun Shan.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Impossible! I only promised you I'd help you find some people."

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me! I was originally hoping you could live a few more years, hehehe..." Vulture Protector laughed, and the black mist churned, bursting out with a strange suction force.

Suddenly, Yun Shan's body trembled violently, letting out a shrill scream. A somewhat ethereal white soul slowly floated out from Yun Shan's body.

However, it seemed that because Yun Shan had not suffered any serious injuries, he had room to struggle, and his soul did not float out very quickly.

"Teacher!"

"Sect Master!" Upon seeing this scene, the people of the Misty Cloud Sect were shocked, especially Yun Yun, who immediately transformed into a Green Shadow and rushed towards Yun Shan.

But she was immediately blocked by smaller wisps of black mist.

Besides Yun Yun, the other elders of the Misty Cloud Sect were also blocked by the black mist.

Seeing Yun Shan's soul being extracted from his body, a look of solemnity flashed in Xiao Ming's eyes. The Hall of Souls's methods with the soul were indeed formidable. However, he could not allow Yun Shan's soul to fall into the hands of Wu Protector.

"Xian'er!"

As soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, Xiao Yi Xian moved lightly, stepping through the void, and slowly took a few steps forward. A surge of powerful gray Dou Qi roared out of her body like a flood, swirling around her. A faint, fishy smell appeared and disappeared. The strong corrosive power contained in the Poison Dou Qi caused a strange acidic smell to waft through the air.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yi Xian's slender jade hands suddenly formed a hand seal, and then streams of dark gray Dou Qi gushed out from her body like fountains.

"Heavenly Yin Rain!"

Dou Qi surged into the sky, quickly condensing into a gray cloud. Then, countless dark gray liquid raindrops poured down from it, seemingly powerless. However, a discerning eye could see that the moment each raindrop streaked across the void, a faint black mark appeared in the empty space...

These highly toxic raindrops do not fall to the ground. When they reach a certain distance, they quietly dissipate, turning into a wisp of poisonous gas that rises slowly, disappears into the gray clouds, and then transforms back into raindrops that pour down. This cycle repeats endlessly.

Several black wisps of mist flying in the sky were drenched by the rain, let out a scream, and were instantly dissolved.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Dense, dark gray raindrops fell from the sky, and the heaviest rain was falling where the Wu Protector was located!

Um?

Faced with Xiao Yi Xian's attack, Wu Protector dared not be negligent. The billowing black mist surged and churned, attempting to use it to block the rain.

Then, in just a few moments, most of the fog was corroded away.

This surprised him somewhat, and even the pull on Yun Shan's soul slowed down.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming grabbed Xiao Yan by the back of his collar, threw him into a small corner of the lighthouse, told him to leave, and then ignored him.

With a single step, Xiao Ming reappeared beside Yun Shan. With a single press of his hand, he forced Yun Shan's soul back into his body.

But before he could even rejoice, Yun Shan's spirit resurfaced.

"Hehehe, don't waste your energy. How could a country bumpkin like you possibly crack the methods of my Hall of Souls?" Wu Protector glanced at Xiao Ming's actions out of the corner of his eye and laughed mockingly.

"Xian'er, I'll seal Yun Shan first. You deal with Wu Protector; don't hold back."

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, Xiao Yi Xian immediately enveloped herself in highly Poison Dou Qi, launching a fierce attack on Wu Protector.

Xiao Ming formed a special hand seal, and an invisible flame appeared in his hands.

As Xiao Ming's gestures changed, the flame gradually turned into a seal.

As the word Feng appeared, Xiao Mingshui pressed Yunshan's soul again and stuffed it into his body. Then before it emerged from the body again, his fingertips flicked slightly, and the word "Feng" was suddenly printed on his forehead and blended into it!

As Xiao Ming completed his actions, Wu Protector's expression changed.

His connection with Yun Shan's soul was severed! After forcing Xiao Yi Xian back with a single move, he coldly stared down at Xiao Ming.

"Good lad, you do have some tricks up your sleeve, but no matter how many tricks you have, you're going to die today! Spirit Protector, haven't you been looking for me all this time to deal with this brat? Now's the time to strike!"

No sooner had Wu Protector finished speaking than a laugh exactly like his rang out.

"Hehehe, Wu Protector, I told you this kid wouldn't be easy to deal with."
