Yang Shan activated his Dou Qi Light Wings and chased after him, laughing exaggeratedly, "Old fool, you are so easily defeated. It seems that the Alchemist Guild is nothing but a rabble!"

Despite Yang Shan's loud boasting, he's actually panicking inside! He just lashed out at the entire Alchemist Guild, and those Dou Wang players actually managed to hold back?

Are we really just going to stand by and watch Fa Ma die?

Someone, come quick!

Otherwise, this play can't continue!

Finally, after much anticipation from Yang Shan and numerous Dou Ling players on the ground,

The Dou Wang players who guard Resting Grass Forest have reappeared!

Several streams of energy rushed towards Yang Shan.

Compared to players who specialize in Dou Ling, players who specialize in Dou Wang undoubtedly have much better combat skills.

Many of them intervened with the aim of saving Fa Ma.

Therefore, the target of their ranged Dou Technique was between Yang Shan and Fa Ma.

If Yang Shan continues to charge forward, he will be hit by these Dou Technique.

Choosing to dodge or go around would buy enough time to rescue Fa Ma.

Yang Shan simply stopped where he was.

Nearly two hundred Dou Wang had gathered around Fa Ma! It seemed that these two hundred Dou Wang were the last "wall" guarding the Resting Grass Forest.

Players from the Heaven Flame Alliance and the Meteor Association who are also among the Dou Wang are also listed.

Li Batian, who had reached the Nine-Star Dou Wang, was the highest-level player in the entire arena. (Yang Shan, currently playing an NPC, is not included.) Since strength is paramount, Li Batian became the commander.

"Two Wind Attribute Dou Wang, take Grandpa Fa Ma and leave first. We'll hold them off here!"

The pale-faced Fa Ma broke free from Mei Yangyang's support and said firmly, "No! This person is too strong. You will only be throwing your lives away. My neck is already in the ground. There's no need for you to do this for me. You should leave quickly. I might be able to hold him off for a few more breaths!"

Why would players willingly lose levels for NPCs? The old man Fa Ma is a perfect example.

He was willing to risk his life to buy time for the players! In reality, what kind of virtuous elder would do such a thing? Li Batian made a decisive move. "Don't just stand there! You two, forcibly take Grandpa Fa Ma away. Fighting to the death is what we young people should do. The elderly should go back to their retirement!"

Yang Shan gave the other party ample time to talk, and now, with a flick of his robe, he spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Retire in retirement? Ha, you might as well reincarnate! President of the Alchemist Guild, now that you're here, I will surely annihilate you today!"

After saying that, Yang Shan charged towards Fa Ma.

Li Batian shouted in shock and anger, "Stop him!"

Yang Shan: "Those who block my way shall die!"

Compared to his original identity, "Cheng E" doesn't have many Dou Technique available now.

The most effective method is to Finger Strength Overload.

Yang Shan had no intention of changing his methods.

The Finger Strength and Dark Soul Mist will henceforth be the symbols of "Cheng E"!

In any case, the Finger Strength Overload is powerful yet consumes little energy, making it perfect for overwhelming opponents.

Having one trick up your sleeve can really get you by any means!

After setting off another firework, Yang Shan used his speed advantage to get around to the back and stand in front of Fa Ma.

Fa Ma is the one who's lurking; he can't leave! As long as Fa Ma is still around, these Dou Wang players will choose to confront him head-on.

Although these Dou Wang come from various factions, their Battle Intent is above average, so their teamwork is not too awkward.

Immediately, a large number of Dou Wang players stood in front of Yang Shan to buy time for Fa Ma's retreat.

Li Batian the lead, bombarding Yang Shan with his Palm Force strikes like a machine gun, attempting to suppress him with relentless firepower.

As a result, Yang Shan countered with another Finger Strength Overload, which stunned Li Batian.

"I'll hold him off!"

"Take Old Master Fa Ma away quickly!"

"Damn! How come Cheng E's Finger Strength is so powerful?"

"It's not just that it's powerful, but why does it still have Dou Qi after being used so many times?"

"This Cheng E reminds me of Great God Yang. Back in the Black-Corner Region, he used both Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and Sea Heart Flame to create an Overload, resulting in a massive explosion."

"Yang Great God's Overload is on a completely different level from Cheng E's Finger Strength! The power of Cheng E E's Finger Strength is at least four or five times that of Yang Great God's!"

"Oh? How do you know so much detail?"

"Back when Great God Yang used strange lightning Heavenly Flames to Overload and randomly explode in the Black-Corner Region, I was blown up. How could I not know how big the difference in damage is between the two?"

Fa Ma was completely bewildered as he was being led away by two Wind Attribute Dou Wang.

He couldn't understand why these exceptionally talented young people were so nonchalant in the face of death.

In such a tense situation, they actually managed to chat!

What's wrong?

Doesn't the King of Hell take them?

Although the NPCs in Battle Through the Heavens have AI that is no different from ordinary people.

But their basic logic is that they are people from the Dou Qi Continent.

Therefore, they will never understand the players' mentality.

Every time a player dies, the NPCs will automatically block the scene of the player turning into white light upon death, as well as the scene of the player respawning at the respawn point.

This memory will be replaced with the player being seriously injured.

From a player's perspective, communicating under such tension is like yelling into a microphone while playing an FPS game:

"He's so disabled! He's so disabled!"

Or, in MOBA games, during team fights, you might be yelling at your teammates for not joining the fight because the minions aren't there, "Are you playing bots? Don't you look at the minimap?"

NPCs don't understand, but players think this is normal.

"I can be killed countless times, but that won't stop me from speaking, because I know that as long as I don't delete my account, I can resurrect in the game!"

They even continued to taunt Yang Shan: "Cheng E, right? I'll remember you. After a few versions, when I'm a Dou Zong, I'll beat the shit out of you!"

"Hey! I refuse to believe it today. I have to run into you before I die, otherwise I'll feel really uncomfortable!"

"Why can't players learn self-destruct? Otherwise, I'd show this Cheng E what a real explosion is today!"

These Dou Wang players, despite being completely overwhelmed by Yang Shan's attacks, still maintained their arrogant and unruly expressions! Yang Shan thought for a moment and decided to give them some experience, so he said:

"Hmph! Although your strength is nothing special, your courage is indeed quite impressive! But unfortunately, I've already said, those who stand in my way will die!"

After two consecutive Overload explosions, Yang Shan forced his way through and caught up with Fa Ma once again.

The two Wind Attribute Dou Wang who were running away with Fa Ma were terrified. "My god, why is he chasing us again?"

Seeing this, Fa Ma forcefully activated his battle Dou Qi, blasting away the two Wind Attribute Dou Wang beside him, and then turned and charged towards Yang Shan:

"You all get out of here! You Yunlan Sect's First Offering. Even if I can't kill you, I'll make sure you don't dare to show your face for two or three years!"

Fa Ma was about to self-destruct.

Yang Shan also prepared to activate the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" to knock Fa Ma unconscious.

He carried the unconscious Fa Ma to lure more players to attack him, and then pretended to be outmatched, abandoning Fa Ma and fleeing.

This script makes perfect sense! Just at the critical moment, a translucent flame appeared on Fa Ma's chest.

The surging Dou Qi within Fa Ma's body was actually suppressed.

The next instant, a young man dressed in black robes appeared in front of Fa Ma, and he took down the Giant Ruler from his back.

The translucent, three-foot-long beam of light forced Yang Shan back.

Fa Ma's voice trembled:

"Little, Little Xiao?"

Xiao Aotian said in a deep voice:

"President Fa Ma, I apologize for being late."

Yang Shan was somewhat amused and exasperated by what he saw.

He vaguely remembered that the last time Hai Bodong was in danger at Spirit Terraces, he happened to arrive and said the same thing.

Fa Ma noticed the terrifying fluctuations emanating from Xiao Aotian's Dou Qi Light Wings and exclaimed in surprise, "You, you've subdued Heavenly Flames?"

Xiao Aotian smiled faintly, "Just lucky."

Fa Ma with grief.

"Good, good, good! I knew it! You are the most outstanding genius in our Alchemist Guild!"

Xiao Aotian: "President Fa Ma, you go first, leave this to me."

Fa Ma: "Xiao Xiao, this person is not simple, you..."

"President Fa Ma, rest assured, apart from Yang Shan, I am invincible below the Dou Zong!"

Xiao Aotian said confidently:

"Trust me, run!"

In the end, Fa Ma retreated under the escort of two Wind Attribute Dou Wang.

Yang Shan didn't lift a finger the whole time, just watched the conversation between Xiao Aotian and Fa Ma, and had a feeling of watching a live-action drama based on the original novel.

The first cosplay of Xiao Yan is indeed remarkable; he really did a pretty good job of imitating him.

Yang Shan did not pursue Fa Ma after he left.

Yang Shan knew that now that Xiao Aotian had arrived, the players present would not choose to retreat.

They will definitely try to get some help from Xiao Aotian.

Yang Shan had already mentioned to all his allies that, as a top-tier guild, its members should wear unique guild symbols so that others could immediately tell which faction they belonged to.

This is to increase guild members' sense of belonging.

What Yang Shan didn't tell his allies was that by wearing the insignia, he wouldn't accidentally shoot friendly forces.

For example, right now, players from the Heaven Flame Alliance and the Meteor Association all have their guild logos printed on their clothes, making them very easy to identify.

Although Overload interference is inevitable, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Yang Shan has already done his best to help his allies minimize their losses, which can be considered as doing everything he can.

Xiao Aotian pointed his Giant Ruler at Yang Shan, his face full of arrogance. "Cheng E, Mister E! I remember you. In the Black-Corner Region, you once helped the Black Alliance to attack and kill people from my Jia Nan Academy. I know you come from the Soul Hall!"

Yang Shan had already gotten into character, and now he speaks in an "NPC" style, so it comes out naturally:

"Hehehe! Kid, you know quite a lot! But sometimes, the more you know, the faster you die!"

Xiao Aotian sneered, "You think you can kill me?"

As it turns out, no player would refuse to show off in a game.

Yang Shan would often show off for fun, but judging from Xiao Aotian's practiced words and actions, Xiao Aotian basically treated showing off as a daily routine! Xiao Aotian carried the Giant Ruler on his shoulder. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance, you make the first move!"

He's faking it! This guy is really faking it!

They've all started referring to themselves as "This Emperor"!

Fortunately, Yang Shan had anticipated this and turned on the recording in advance.

He wanted to record this precious moment!

Since Xiao Aotian was being so "modest," Yang Shan couldn't very well refuse.

Let's start with a Finger Strength Overload as a token gesture! Fireworks burst forth, but Yang Shan heard a familiar electrical sound.

Looking up, he saw Xiao Aotian standing above him unharmed.

The Fallen Heart Flame, attached to the Giant Ruler, slashed down towards Yang Shan's head!

"Three Thousand Thunder Movement?"

Yang Shan remembered very clearly that Xiao Aotian did indeed possess the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" technique in his previous life.

In fact, it wasn't just Xiao Aotian; in his previous life, before Central Plains was fully open, there were a total of three players who learned "Three Thousand Thunder Movement".

That's actually normal.

Since Wind and Thunder Pavilion has a record of losing "Three Thousand Thunder Movement", it is natural that it could lose two or three copies.

Or perhaps a powerful figure who betrayed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion made it himself.

Unlike NPCs, Dou Technique are not unique, so it's normal for other people to learn them.

Tian Yao Company clearly has in mind that in the future Central Plains version, "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" will become a highly sought-after Dou Technique for many players.

Therefore, the attribute restrictions on this Dou Technique were specifically removed.

Yang Shan was only surprised that Xiao Aotian had actually obtained the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" technique. It seemed that it hadn't happened this quickly in his previous life, but that was all.

Cultivators who do not specialize in lightning attribute can only unleash 80% of the power of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement".

Not to mention that Xiao Aotian couldn't use the opportunity of subduing the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning to quickly complete "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" like Yang Shan.

Even if Xiao Aotian had mastered it to perfection, he would still be a joke in front of Yang Shan's "Three Thousand Thunder Movement"! When the Giant Ruler came at him, Yang Shan did not choose to draw his sword to meet it head-on, but instead chose to evade it.

When facing Xiao Aotian, the killing power of the "Tyrant Blade" is far inferior to that of the Finger Strength Overload, so it is best to avoid close combat before breaking through Xiao Aotian's Dou Qi Armor.

Moreover, Yang Shan had no intention of actually killing Xiao Aotian.

Fa Ma is gone, he has to use Xiao Aotian as a bait!

Yang Shan's Agility approach to baiting was truly remarkable, earning him the title of "Baiting Immortal"! However, Yang Shan's avoidance gave Xiao Aotian a misconception.

He thought he was really good!

"What? Where did your earlier arrogance go? Keep chuckling! You think you can escape?"

Xiao Aotian was very excited, seemingly showing off to Yang Shan:

"Let me show you what a true Earth-rank movement technique is! Behold my Three Thousand Thunder Movement!"

A series of crackling sounds erupted from Xiao Aotian's body as his Dou Qi Light Wings drew long lines in the air, streaking with sparks and lightning.

And then the Giant Ruler missed!

Yang Shan, who was right in front of him, disappeared from Xiao Aotian's sight.

The next instant, the explosion caused by the Finger Strength Overload engulfed Xiao Aotian!

A weakened version of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" dares to be arrogant in front of his Promax version of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement"? The reason why Yang Shan, that Old Schemer, did not fight back just now is simply because he was "programming" on the spot.

The illusion of the Sea Heart Flame was used to conceal the "special effects" of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement".

In order to avoid Xiao Aotian finding out.

"Three Thousand Thunder Movement" is an explosive movement technique, but explosive movement techniques are not limited to "Three Thousand Thunder Movement".

Looking at Xiao Aotian, who had burst out of the explosion with a livid face, Yang Shan sneered, "Wind and Thunder Pavilion's ' Three Thousand Thunder Movement '! Kid, you have good luck. Unfortunately, my ' Thunder Flash Nine Heavens ' is only a Earth Rank Middle-Level movement technique!"

Xiao Aotian gasped in shock. "What? Earth Rank Middle-Level?"

Seeing Xiao Aotian, who had been completely fooled by him, Yang Shan almost burst out laughing.

Just then, the sound of wind breaking through the air made Yang Shan frown.

There are still experts!

Yang Shan wanted to conserve his Dou Qi, so he immediately released Dark Soul Mist to lock the incoming longsword firmly in place.

Ye Suifeng was shocked as he revealed his form:

"Holy crap! This Cheng E reacted so quickly?"
