Iron Protector of the Soul Hall Appears

In the sky, Xie Bi Yan flashed and appeared directly in front of Xiao Yuan, its blood-red giant pincers swinging and clamping down hard on the latter's waist.

Xiao Yuan held his longsword, creating a series of sword flowers that struck the blood-red giant pincers, causing dazzling sparks to erupt, but without inflicting any substantial damage.

"Hey-hey."

Xie Bi Yan sneered, his giant pincers twisted strangely, and then he clamped down hard. With a crisp metallic clang, the longsword that Xiao Yuan had condensed his Dou Qi into was cut in two! Having suffered a hidden loss, Xiao Yuan hurriedly retreated, but judging from the calm and elegant manner he displayed as he floated away, Xiao Yuan was not greatly affected by it.

"Youngster, let's see how arrogant you can be now?!"

He had already caused his opponent to suffer a loss in the first exchange, Xie Bi Yan immediately gave a smug sneer.

Xiao Yuan glanced at the broken sword, then casually tossed the broken sword aside. His gaze turned cold as he looked at Xie Bi Yan, who was grinning maliciously, and reached out to brush his long hair, which was draped over his back.

He condensed his Dou Qi into a ribbon in his hand, tied his long hair into a high ponytail, and then Cyan-Brown Flame spewed out from his hand, condensing into a flaming spear in his palm.

"Don't rush, I haven't even started being arrogant yet!"

A flash of azure lightning streaked across his eyes, and the sky suddenly darkened. The previously clear blue sky was now covered with dark clouds, and faint white lightning surged within them. Azure lightning slowly appeared on Xiao Yuan's body, and his once jet-black pupils turned completely azure! Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Spear! In this situation, Xiao Yuan unhesitatingly unleashed this most powerful Dou Technique.

Although it is only Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, with the amplification of the High-grade Earth-tier Cultivation Method, the Demon Thunder Mirror, this Dou Technique is several times more powerful than the other Earth Rank Dou Techniques of Xiao Yuan's mastery. After all, there are no high-level cultivation techniques to match the other Earth Rank Dou Techniques.

While Dou Technique like Mystic Ice Dragon Flight is undeniably powerful with the amplification of Mystic Ice Skill, it is still insufficient to deal with Dou Zong.

"Old dog, now let's see whose methods are more ruthless, hmm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan's figure flashed out, and with the terrifying speed of Three Thousand Lightning Movement, he launched a fierce attack on the Xie Bi Yan.

Amidst surging lightning, Xiao Yuan's Heavenly Flames spear, carrying the heat of flames and the explosive force of thunder, pierced towards Xie Bi Yan's vital points.

Xie Bi Yan was originally very confident, thinking that with his strength as Five Star Dou Zong, he should be able to easily kill Xiao Yuan, a junior who had only reached the Dou Zong level through secret techniques.

But when the Heavenly Flames spear landed on his scorpion pincers, bringing excruciating pain, he realized just how difficult Xiao Yuan was to deal with!

Looking at the scorpion pincers, which were already covered in charred black marks after only a short time, Xie Bi Yan's expression grew increasingly grim.

Where did this woman get so many Earth Rank Dou Techniques?

Furthermore, they can even use Dou Qi with both wind and thunder attributes! That person must be quite interested in the soul of someone like that, right?

On the other side, under Xiao Yi Xian's powerful attack, Xie Shan couldn't help but complain. Although his strength was already at the Dou Huang Peak, Little Fairy Doctor's terrifying poison skills not only made up for the gap between their strengths, but even slightly surpassed his. Now that she had completely unleashed her power, he really couldn't handle it! As for the battle of Dou Zong in the sky, Xie Shan was also quite troubled.

The White Skirt Woman was truly terrifying in strength. She had actually forced Elder Scorpion to use the Blood Soul Skill and had casually killed the sect's guardian beast, the Four Winged Sky Demon Scorpion. The Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's strength was already inferior to that of the Poison Sect, and the fact that Wu Ya and the others hadn't appeared yet suggested that something had happened to them, and they probably wouldn't be able to come! Currently, the Poison Sect basically held the upper hand. Xie Shan had a feeling that all these changes were closely related to the White Skirt Woman standing in the sky with a sword in her hand! Xie Shan gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "Where did this woman come from? Why have I never heard of such a young, yet terrifyingly powerful Dou Huang expert within the empire?"

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Xie Shan glanced at the fiery battle circle in the distant sky. At this moment, Xiao Yuan and Xie Bi Yan had clearly entered a fierce battle. The terrifying energy collisions caused the space in that area to tremble violently. Occasionally, a terrifying energy would shoot out, causing the powerful figures on both sides to hurriedly dodge in horror.

"I didn't expect that woman to be so strong in combat, actually able to fight Elder Scorpion to this extent. However, if this continues, my Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate will be at a greater and greater disadvantage. When the losses become too heavy, how will we be able to annex the Poison Sect?"

Just as Xie Shan's eyes flickered, a fierce gust of wind suddenly shot over, causing him to quickly regain his senses. He swung his blue staff to block it, and at the same time, Xiao Yi Xian's cold laughter came over.

"Sect Master of Xie Shan, you must not be distracted at a time like this. If you follow in the footsteps of that Four Winged Sky Demon Scorpion, Xie Bi Yan will probably be even more furious."

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian was not flustered. Judging from the scene in the sky, Xiao Yuan was obviously still able to withstand Xie Bi Yan's attack. In fact, the battle was evenly matched and very intense.

For the time being, the two are unlikely to be able to determine a winner, but on her side, including in other battles, the Poison Sect is basically in an advantageous position. Moreover, her confidence in Xiao Yuan has increased even more.

"No need for you to trouble yourself, junior!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and suddenly a surge of powerful Dou Qi rose from the blue staff in Xie Shan's hand. Then, the staff's shadow filled the sky, covering all the vital parts of Xiao Yi Xian's body.

Xiao Yi Xian also unleashed a powerful attack. After the two clashed dozens of times, they both retreated. However, judging from the number of steps they took, Xie Shan was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Xie Shan, use the signal to summon that person!"

Just as Xie Shan stood still, a cold, aged voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Upon hearing this, Xie Shan was taken aback. The voice was naturally from Elder Scorpion, who was currently engaged in a fierce battle with the woman in the white dress. Judging from the solemnity in his voice, it seemed that the woman's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, after hearing what Xie Bi Yan said, Xie Shan breathed a heavy sigh of relief. In the current situation, if that person was not brought out, the outcome would be unpredictable.

"Little Fairy Doctor, no matter how much you try to cause trouble today, my Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate is destined to win!"

Recalling that person's strength, a sinister smile appeared on Xie Shan's face as he spoke menacingly to Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian remained indifferent upon hearing this, and a hint of disdain flickered in her gaze as she looked at Xie Shan.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's appearance, Xie Shan was filled with rage. Without further hesitation, he quickly took out a black mist-like object from his Storage Ring, then pressed it down hard with both hands. The black mist burst open, and a strange sound wave spread out from his palms.

"After I capture you, I will treat you two to a good meal. Two exquisite cauldrons at the Dou Emperor level are truly something to behold!"

Seeing the black mist burst open, Xie Shan's face became even more ferocious, and he grinned lewdly at Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian's face grew increasingly cold as she devised a plan to make Xie Shan wish he were dead.

In the sky, Xiao Yuan's spear swept across, and a powerful force mixed with fire and lightning burst forth, forcing Xie Bi Yan. He then frowned and looked into the depths of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate. When the strange sound waves came out, his powerful soul power sensed something. It seemed that the other party was summoning something.

As these thoughts flickered in his mind, a powerful aura that caused the expressions of many present to change drastically slowly spread out from the depths of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, eventually enveloping the entire Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain! As that powerful aura, faintly carrying a hint of coldness, spread from the depths of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, the battles in both the sky and on the ground gradually ceased. The experts on both sides looked towards the source of the aura with suspicion and uncertainty. Apart from a very few people, it seemed that not many people knew the origin of the owner of this aura.

Even some Dou Emperor level experts turned extremely pale when they sensed that aura, because they found that the power of this aura far surpassed their own, and was almost comparable to that of Xie Biyan, the most powerful aura in the sky. At this moment, the appearance of such a heavyweight expert was enough to turn the tide of this battle! In the distant sky, two figures stood facing each other. The battle between Xiao Yuan and Xie Bi Yan had temporarily stopped. After such Xie Bi Yan battle, both of their auras were slightly fluctuating, and terrifying Dou Qi surrounded them, causing the space to tremble continuously.

"Heh, Little Fairy Doctor, you didn't expect this, did you? My Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate actually has a Dou Zong expert. Today, I'll see if your helper can take on two of you!"

Xie Shan sneered with a hint of smugness.

Xiao Yi Xian glanced at him indifferently, then turned her gaze to where Xiao Yuan was above. Coincidentally, the latter also noticed, and their eyes met. Xiao Yuan nodded slightly to her, indicating that she didn't need to worry about him.

Just as Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yi Xian's gazes met, a thick black mist suddenly surged out from the depths of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate. It then flew swiftly towards the battlefield like a demon riding the clouds. In a few flashes, it stopped directly in the sky. The black mist slowly contracted and finally transformed into a black shadow whose appearance could not be seen.

"Heh heh, Xie Bi Yan, I didn't expect you to be unable to do anything to a junior who forcibly increases his strength through secret techniques." The black shadow floated in the sky, his eyes sweeping across the horizon before he chuckled strangely.

"Hehe, Iron Protector is joking. This woman is no pushover. Even I have to admit that her talent is truly amazing. However, today's battle is extremely important to our Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, so we have no choice but to ask Iron Protector for help."

Xie Bi Yan smiled, but his words revealed a certain apprehension towards the mysterious figure in black.

"It's no problem for me to take action, but you should know about the reward afterwards, right?" Black mist rose from the shadowy figure's body from time to time, and his slightly deep and cold voice echoed in the sky.

Upon hearing this, Xie Bi Yan's expression changed slightly, but he gritted his teeth and smiled, "Iron Protector, please rest assured, everything you need will be provided in due time."

"Um."

Iron Protector responded indifferently, then his gaze slowly swept over Xiao Yuan, who was dressed in a white dress. He smiled coldly, his body trembled, and then with a clattering sound, black chains shot out from his body like venomous snakes, finally coiling and entwining behind him.

"Who do we have here? It's just some scum from the Soul Hall?"

Xiao Yuan's cold voice carried a strong sense of sarcasm.

"Oh, you actually know about the Soul Hall?" Iron Protector was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but quickly realized, "That makes sense. Your methods are not simple. To be able to raise your strength to this level using secret techniques, you must have a powerful force behind you. It's not surprising that you know about the Soul Hall."

"Not only am I not surprised, I'm going to make you and that foul-mouthed old dog die together."

Xiao Yuan sneered, his Dou Qi surging, ready to erupt at any moment! "Is that so?" The Iron Protector also sneered, then said to Xie Bi Yan in a cold voice, "You hold her off first. After I've collected all the souls of this Poison Sect expert, then I'll take her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Iron Protector's hand suddenly moved, and the two black chains that were swirling around him shot out violently, tearing through the sky in an instant. The speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

Pfft! Pfft! Two chains shot out, and many Poison Sect experts hurriedly dodged in shock. However, the black chains seemed to possess intelligence, spinning strangely in the sky before piercing through the chests of two Dou Wang expert.

The black chains trembled slowly, finally lifting the two corpses, their eyes wide with terror, high into the air. Amidst the swirling black mist of the chains, they forcibly extracted two illusory souls from the two Dou Wang expert, swallowing them into the chains. The soulless corpses were then carelessly tossed aside.

"The souls of ordinary experts are indeed inferior to those of alchemists. If it weren't for the ' Danta ' in the central part of the continent, which allowed them to go there and wreak havoc, the mission could probably have been completed much sooner."

As the soul was absorbed into the chains, the Iron Protector shook his head and muttered to himself with great regret.

While Iron Protector was talking to himself, the Poison Sect experts were all terrified by his terrifying move and hurriedly retreated. Dou Zong expert was simply not someone they could contend with. They were not the Sect Leader's Wife. Even if they all rushed forward, they would only become corpses on those chains one after another.

Xiao Yuan stared at the Iron Protector floating in the sky with a gloomy look in his eyes, but he was a little puzzled. Did the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate have been in contact with the Soul Hall so early?

Although Xiao Yuan discovered with his keen soul perception that the Iron Protector seemed to be weaker than the Wu Protector, he was still a genuine Dou Zong expert. Moreover, with the Soul Hall's various strange methods, defeating him would be extremely difficult.

There was also a Xie Bi Yan watching him intently from the side. He was confident in dealing with any one of them, but fighting two against one was beyond his capabilities.
