Yun Yun Battles Old Ghost Chuyun

Those who had come this time included not only the guardians of several great empires, but also Yan Luo Tian, the sect master of the Golden Goose Sect, Mulan San, the emperor of the Mulan Empire, and the three elders of Mulan Valley.

Every one of them possessed terrifying strength, especially the three elders of Mulan Valley.

Mulan Valley belonged to the Mulan Empire. Though it had no Dou Zong expert presiding over it, it possessed an extremely unique joint combat technique, which the Mulan people called the Three Beasts Savage Art.

Once all three activated the Three Beasts Savage Art at the same time, they could fight even a Dou Zong expert. In terms of combat strength, they were not much weaker than Yan Luo Tian, the sect master of the Golden Goose Sect.

Behind Mulan San, the guardian of the Mulan Empire, stood three elders dressed in green robes. Each robe bore the patterns of a lion, tiger, or bear. These patterns did not appear to be made from ordinary embroidery thread; they contained extremely terrifying energy.

Jia Xing Tian raised one hand in a gesture of invitation, and the experts in the area found their seats, waiting for the exciting moment to come.

Lin Che and Yun Yun also found a place to sit. He picked up a cup of wine that had been poured in advance, but after taking a sip, he set it down. This wine...

It tasted awful.

His own wine was still richer and more fragrant, leaving an endless aftertaste with every sip.

Lin Che rested his chin on one hand and waited quietly.

Seeing that nearly everyone had arrived, Jia Xing Tian raised his wine cup, cleared his throat, and said, "I trust everyone knows that twenty years ago, we held a convention of experts with the Chu Yun Empire."

"Back then, the Jia Ma Empire narrowly defeated the Chu Yun Empire. It was truly a shameful victory. Now that you have all met again, why not use this opportunity to add some stakes? What do you say?"

Chu Yun Que, the guardian of the Chu Yun Empire, crushed the wine cup in his hand into powder. Jia Xing Tian had actually insulted him in public. Did he intend to defeat the Chu Yun Empire before everyone's eyes again?

Yan Luo Tian had an arm around a young and beautiful woman. He laughed and said, "That is indeed a fine suggestion. Otherwise, how boring would it be to simply drink? Perfect—we can serve as the judges this time."

Chu Yun Que rose to his feet and said coldly, "Since Brother Xing Tian proposed it, how could the Chu Yun Empire refuse?"

As he spoke, Chu Yun Que pointed at a Dou Emperor beside him and said with chilling intent, "This man is one of the Dou Emperors of the Chu Yun Empire. His name is Old Ghost Chuyun. Today, he shall fight in my stead."

Jia Xing Tian said nothing. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Yun Yun, the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, and Lin Che.

Dou Emperor experts were already scarce in the Jia Ma Empire. Now that Ice Emperor Hai Bodong had vanished for many years, only these two could represent the empire in battle.

"Sect Master Yun, I'll have to trouble you."

"Fine." Yun Yun rose gracefully, her curvaceous figure causing Yan Luo Tian's expression to stiffen for a moment. Then he revealed a strange smile and praised, "I never expected that after so many years, Sect Master Yun would still be so beautiful and captivating. Once this is over, would you be interested in sharing a drink with This Sect Master?"

Yun Yun replied indifferently, "My apologies, Sect Master Yan Luo Tian. I have always preferred peace and quiet. If there is an opportunity in the future, how about having my teacher keep you company instead?"

At those words, Yan Luo Tian's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. No one knew whether Yun Shan, the former sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, had broken through to the Dou Zong realm.

Back then, he had fought Yun Shan, the former sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, several times, only to suffer crushing defeats each time. That was enough to show how terrifying Yun Shan's strength had been.

Even now, recalling it left a knot in his heart.

"Hehe, since Brother Yun Shan is still in seclusion, then forget it. Should the chance arise in the future, I will certainly pay you a visit."

Yan Luo Tian slipped his right hand into the neckline of the woman in his arms and replied with a lecherous grin.

"Disgusting."

Yun Yun cursed inwardly and looked toward Old Ghost Chuyun, whose entire body was shrouded in black mist. This old man was around a Five-star Dou Huang. If she wanted to win, she had to strike first.

Her slender fingers lightly brushed across the sharp blade. A clear sword hum suddenly echoed through the air, and at the instant it rang out, Yun Yun's body abruptly vanished.

When she reappeared, she was already behind Old Ghost Chuyun. At the sword tip, pale green sword aura surged three feet outward as it stabbed viciously and cunningly toward his vital points.

A strange smile curled across Old Ghost Chuyun's lips, as though Yun Yun's disappearance had not made him wary in the slightest.

"You really are impatient, little girl. But you are merely a Three-Star Dou Huang. It seems the experts of the Jia Ma Empire have truly withered away."

Old Ghost Chuyun stomped heavily on the ground with his right foot. The bluestone tiles beneath him cracked across a wide area at a visible speed, while purple-black smoke spread from around his body.

"This mist is poisonous."

Yun Yun's brows drew together. She immediately abandoned her attack on Old Ghost Chuyun, withdrew her weapon, and flashed backward at high speed.

"It is said that Old Ghost Chuyun is a fifth-tier Poison Master, and that his poison arts can corrode all things. Seeing it today, the reputation is well deserved. If I want to defeat him, I need to end this quickly. Otherwise, once poison seals off my escape routes, I will have no chance to retreat."

Thinking of what might happen to her, Yun Yun frowned slightly. Then she gripped the sword hilt tightly, and her aura suddenly became as sharp as a blade. Vast gusts of green wind began rapidly gathering around her.

"How could ditch water dare compete with the frozen ocean? Little girl, die!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Old Ghost Chuyun unceremoniously removed the covering from his face, revealing a visage so horrifying that it made people suck in a cold breath.

The left half of Old Ghost Chuyun's face was completely gone, exposing stark white bone. A scorpion totem was carved into his right cheek, adding even more strangeness to his appearance.

Yun Yun pushed off the ground with the tip of her foot. A green radiance condensed over the long sword in her hand, and suppressing her disgust, she shot forward violently.

The embroidered robe on her body fluttered and collided continuously, producing crisp sounds.

"Ke ke ke, little girl, taste the Dou Technique I painstakingly developed over twenty years." Old Ghost Chuyun raised both hands over his head and roared almost maniacally, "Blood Stains Heaven and Earth, Divine Dragon Descends!!"

Purple-black Dou Qi formed wave after wave in the sky. The ripples they stirred suddenly slammed into Yun Yun's chest, sending her stumbling backward uncontrollably as a mouthful of crimson blood spilled from the corner of her lips.

The enormous pillar of energy suddenly began to churn. Moments later, it transformed into an energy blood dragon over thirty meters long.

The blood dragon writhed, its piercing roar shaking heaven and earth. Its strength had actually come infinitely close to that of a Seven-Star Dou Huang expert.

Hovering in midair, Yun Yun stared blankly at the sudden sight, her beautiful face filled with astonishment and shock.

"Ke ke ke, die for me!"
