Chaos, Action

As soon as he finished speaking, black mist surged, and a hunched figure, as withered as bones, slowly appeared in Xuan Kongzi and the others' sight. He was dressed in a black robe, his aged face was extremely withered, his eyes were sunken, and two ghostly flames flickered in his eye sockets, exuding a hint of eeriness.

"The Hall of Souls Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Xuan Kongzi stared at the aged figure, his expression immediately turning grim.

The Hall of Souls Great Heavenly Venerable exuded immense pressure, clearly unlike the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master, as he had come in person.

And this Hall of Souls Great Heavenly Venerable is Dou Sheng Expert!

The aged figure slowly lowered his head, his withered face appearing somewhat terrifying in the light. The ghostly fire in his eyes flickered slightly, and a hoarse, chilling voice quietly rang out. "Xuan Yi, since you dare to disrespect the Hall Master, I'll cut off one of your arms."

As he spoke, he suddenly formed a hand seal from his sleeve.

"Hiss!"

As soon as the hand seals were completed, the space around Xuan Kongzi and the others rippled. Then, many white shadows flashed into their eyes. They saw that the surrounding Void Space suddenly transformed into countless sharp white bones, which shot towards them with lightning speed.

Clearly, his target was not just the Xuan Yi.

Faced with this lightning-fast attack of bone spikes, Xuan Kongzi and the others' expressions changed drastically. Their strongest members were only at the Peak Dou Zun, how could they possibly be a match for Great Heavenly Venerable!

At this critical moment, an ancient voice resounded through the heavens and earth once again.

"Hmph! All they do is bully the weak; the Hall of Souls is still as shameless as ever!"

Suddenly, a powerful flame appeared in front of Xuan Kongzi and the others. Its terrifying temperature melted away the bone spikes almost instantly.

The space in the plaza suddenly distorted slightly, and then hundreds of ancient figures appeared on the plaza without warning.

"It's the elders of the Small Pill Tower!" Xuan Kongzi and the others were overjoyed at the arrival of reinforcements.

"Small Pill Tower?"

Seeing that his attack was blocked, the Great Heavenly Venerable looked at the group of old men. His gaze slowly swept over them and finally settled on the four people in the center. Among these people, the Aura of these four people was particularly strong. In particular, the old man in the very center, dressed in linen clothes and with a calm and composed face, made the Great Heavenly Venerable take notice.

"Two Intermediate Half-Saint, one Advanced Ban Sheng, and another who should be a Dou Sheng Expert at the early stage of the second star level... The Pill Tower is indeed extraordinary..."

The Great Heavenly Venerable's gaze lingered on the old man in hemp robes, a hint of apprehension creeping into his heart. He could sense that his attack had just been blocked by this man.

"Hall of Souls, how dare you target our Pill Tower Headquarters? Aren't you afraid our Old Ancestor will annihilate you?" Old Monster Lin asked coldly as soon as he appeared.

"Heh, have you forgotten the rule that those above the Five Star Dou Sheng in Central Plains are not allowed to make a move?" The Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master chuckled sinisterly. Although this rule has very little binding force, if the Pill Tower were truly about to perish, the Pill Tower Ancestor would definitely take action. However, they were only teaching the Pill Tower a lesson for now, so naturally they wouldn't care about such things.

Too lazy to even talk to Old Monster Lin, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master directly issued an ultimatum.

"Hand over what you obtained from our Branch Hall, as well as Xiao Ming, or your Holy Pill City will not be spared today."

Even if you pay, you can't save them. The Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master stared at the many Alchemists in the square with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Hmph! Keep dreaming!" With a sneer, Old Monster Lin struck first, launching an attack with a flick of his wrist.

The others immediately followed suit.

"Bang bang bang!"

The scene instantly became intense, with dazzling Dou Qi soaring into the sky.

The battle on the Pill Tower side was fierce, much to the delight of the onlookers in Holy Pill City.

"Wow, this fluctuation makes me feel like the surrounding space is unstable. There must be hundreds of Dou Zun making a move! As expected of the Pill Tower and the Hall of Souls."

"I said, shouldn't we run away a bit, so we don't get caught in the crossfire?"

"If you want to leave, then leave. This scene is a once-in-a-century occurrence."

"My god! There's even Dou Sheng here! Everyone, I'm outta here."

"..."

Up in a pavilion, Xiao Yi Xian listened to the surrounding conversations, looked at Xiao Ming, and asked in confusion.

Shouldn't we go up and help?

Xiao Ming gazed at the distant battlefield, mentally estimating the number of powerful figures the Hall of Souls had sent.

One Two Star Dou Sheng, two Advanced Ban Sheng, and more than fifty Dou Zun ranging from one-star to Nine Revolutions —wow, quite a grand gesture.

In a way, it's quite bold of these people to still stay.

Xiao Ming glanced at the people around him, sighed, and then smiled at Xiao Yi Xian.

"Of course we'll help. We were just checking if the Hall of Souls had any hidden tricks up their sleeves."

"Does the Hall of Souls have any hidden tricks up its sleeve?" Venerable Tian Huo asked with great interest.

I'd say not.

"Should?"

"Should be considered a master? Heh, never mind, let's deal with those Hall of Souls people first. You all go outside Holy Pill City, the Hall of Souls experts there are weaker. Use the Heaven Demon Puppet to take care of them, remember, don't let a single one escape, keep their corpses and souls if you can."

With that, Xiao Ming took a step forward and disappeared.

Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Venerable Tian Huo exchanged a glance, then their figures flickered and they flew towards the Holy Pill City.

The Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master stood in the sky, surrounded by the battlefields of the Pill Tower Elder and the Heavenly Venerate of Hall of Souls, yet no one attacked him.

Seeing that the powerful warriors he brought were being blocked, he wasn't worried.

"I've heard that there are Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Star Region above Holy Pill City. Let him reduce Holy Pill City to ashes. Bringing the Three Thousand Burning Flame back to the clan would be a great achievement."

Thinking this, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master closed his eyes slightly, trying to sense the location of the Star Region. Although his clone was not strong, only Nine Stars Dou Zun, it was still no problem to release the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

But the next moment, his head was twisted off by a hand.

"Heh, you want to unleash the Three Thousand Burning Flame? Did you even ask me?" Holding the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master's head in his hand, Xiao Ming's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Xiao Ming, you little beast, you're courting death!" Because he was in a clone, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master had not completely lost consciousness. He recognized Xiao Ming and shouted angrily.

"Tsk, not quite dead yet? Here's a big gift for you." Xiao Ming waved his hand in front of him, and a spatial rift immediately appeared. Through the rift opening, one could see what appeared to be a latrine on the other side.

You're welcome.

With that, Xiao Ming threw it directly into the spatial rift.

"Bone Emperor Splitting Heaven!"

Just as the spatial rift closed, suddenly, the Great Heavenly Venerable's unusually cold low shout rang out behind Xiao Ming. Immediately afterward, the space above Xiao Ming's head rippled rapidly, and a huge Bone Blade, exuding a strange Aura, tore through the void and slashed down at Xiao Ming from afar.

"Call out!"

As the strange Bone Blade swung down, a peculiar wave immediately spread out, hurtling towards Xiao Ming with lightning speed.

"This is... a soul attack."

Sensing the strange fluctuations, Xiao Ming was slightly startled. He hadn't expected that this Great Heavenly Venerable would actually know how to use soul attacks. Moreover, wasn't he fighting Great Elder Lin? Why did he come to ambush me? Was it because of the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master's shout? But unfortunately, in the clash of Soul Power, he was truly not afraid of anyone now!

"Broken!"

Xiao Ming clenched his fists, turned around calmly, and threw a punch. This punch had no fancy moves or fluctuations of Dou Qi. However, as he threw it, the Soul Power between Xiao Ming's eyebrows also surged out!

"Boom!"

An invisible spiritual fist wind burst forth from Xiao Ming's palm, clashing with the Bone Blade's energy in mid-air before both were annihilated.

Seeing that Xiao Ming had easily shattered the Soul Fluctuation, the Great Heavenly Venerable was surprised, but he did not hesitate at all. In a flash, he appeared under the massive Bone Blade that was a hundred feet long in the sky. Black mist surged in his palm, transforming into a giant hand that directly grabbed the hilt of the blade. With a cold shout, the Bone Blade tore through space and instantly arrived above Xiao Ming's head, carrying an extremely terrifying and sharp fluctuation as it slashed down!

"That Bone Blade is rather strange; it seems capable of wounding the soul. But to challenge me to a soul-splitting contest? Tsk tsk, I'll use you to test my Heavenly Rank Soul Skill."
