Your Opponent Is Him

Amidst the deafening roar, two dark figures on the horizon drew ever closer. In just a few breaths, the two figures were suspended in mid-air.

The two figures in mid-air, though different in size, one large and one small, both possessed extremely dazzling Wings of Dou Qi behind them.

One person's small figure appeared even more noble thanks to the dazzling purple Wings of Dou Qi. The other was even more extraordinary, with flames rising above his emerald-like Wings of Dou Qi. Upon closer inspection, the flames appeared to flow slowly like water, exuding both beauty and an eerie quality.

The two people in the sky were Lin Ming and Zi Yan, who had returned from the Chu Yun Empire.

After protecting Xiao Yi Xian's advancement in the Chu Yun Empire, Lin Ming returned with Zi Yan.

Three days before the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Promotion Ceremony, Lin Ming had already returned to the Jia Ma Empire and secretly returned to the Mittel Family, giving Elder Hai and others a sense of reassurance, which is why Elder Hai acted as he did today.

Upon arriving above the plaza, Lin Ming looked at the Cloud Yun Shan, which stood barefoot in the void before him, and smiled, saying, "Lin Ming of the Mittel Family greets Sect Master Yun Shan."

As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, the members of the Mittel Family arrived at the square instantly. Hai Bodong even flapped his Wings of Dou Qi and came to Lin Ming and Zi Yan.

"Elder Hai, are you alright?" Lin Ming asked with concern as he saw Elder Hai arrive.

Looking at Lin Ming before him, Hai Bodong immediately laughed loudly, "Haha! Good lad. I'm fine."

Three days ago, they were already shocked when they saw Lin Ming. His Dou Qi, which reached the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Emperor, surpassed that of everyone in the Mittel Family. With such strength, he was undoubtedly the number one in the family.

Although Lin Ming had already reached the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Emperor, the members of the Mittel Family still couldn't help but feel worried when he said that Yun Shan was being handed over to him.

After all, Yun Shan had broken through to the Dou Zong realm, which is a realm higher than that.

However, seeing Lin Ming's resolute expression, they knew they couldn't let Lin Ming, who was stronger than everyone else but was still a junior, suffer any damage to his pride. At worst, if anything went wrong, these old fogies would risk their lives to hold off Yun Shan and protect Lin Ming so that he could escape unscathed.

However, all these worries vanished at that moment. Just based on Lin Ming's distant sonic attack, which rendered Yun Shan's prepared attack ineffective, Hai Bodong knew that Lin Ming had truly reached a level he could only look up to. Seeing the young man in his family grow up so well, Hai Bodong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing Hai Bodong's smug laughter, Yun Shan's expression immediately shifted between anger and uncertainty. After a long while, Yun Shan finally spoke, "Are you the same person as Lin Ming, who killed the so-called Medicine Emperor Han Feng in the Black Corner Region?"

"Sect Master Yun Shan truly lives up to his reputation as Dou Zong expert; even his information network is incredibly advanced!" In response to Yun Shan's words, Lin Ming smiled faintly and spoke with a hint of mockery.

Upon receiving Lin Ming's reply, Yun Shan's heart sank to the bottom. The people from the Soul Hall behind him had also told him about this matter, saying that in the Black Corner Region, there was a man named Lin Ming who, with the cultivation of Dou Emperor, killed Medicine Emperor Han Feng who had reached the Peak Dou Emperor Dou Zong under the influence of Heavenly Flames. He might be from the Jia Ma Empire. Although Yun Shan was somewhat shocked at the time, he did not take it seriously.

After all, he knew all too well what kind of place the Jia Ma Empire was; how could it possibly produce such a person? But now that this person had appeared, he had no choice but to accept this reality.

However, since things had come to this point, Yun Shan wasn't truly afraid. His Advance to Dou Ancestor had given him an unprecedented sense of power. So, after a moment, Yun Shan immediately said, "You intend to stop me?"

Seeing Yun Shan's self-righteous act, Lin Ming sneered, "Yun Shan, you were the one who struck first from beginning to end! Our Mittel Family came to congratulate you on Advance to Dou Ancestor out of kindness. It was you who insisted on forming this Alliance. Our Mittel Family didn't intend to participate, but you were the one who tried to keep Elder Hai and the others here! What, Yun Shan, do you think you're superior? You can strike all you want, but if others resist, they're considered to be opposing you?"

Faced with Lin Ming's words, Yun Shan was speechless for a moment and could not refute them. After all, what he said did seem to be true.

Seeing Yun Shan speechless for a moment, Lin Ming continued, "Of course, since Sect Master Yun Shan enjoys sparring, I can also play along with Sect Master Yun Shan!"

"You've gone too far, junior!" Yun Shan, who had been speechless when he heard the previous sentence, immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this.

"I'll play with you" sounds like something a powerful person would say to a weak person in Yun Shan.

Yun Shan had always been tough. But in order to prolong his life and Advance to Dou Ancestor, he bowed down and became a lackey of the Soul Hall.

He silently vowed that this would be the only time in his life he would ever kneel down.

However, Lin Ming's mocking attitude towards the weak completely ignited Yun Shan's inner emotions. So in that instant, his deep blue Dou Qi surged violently around him. He wanted to destroy all the people in front of him and tear them to pieces to vent his hatred.

Enraged, Yun Shan unleashed his Deep Cyan Dou Qi, causing the space around him to tremble as he instantly pulled towards Lin Ming.

"Zi Yan, you take Elder Hai over there, I'll play with him!" Seeing the Yun Shan approaching, Lin Ming said to Zi Yan, and the Jade Profound Heart Flame surged out, transforming into an emerald-like fire figure that attacked the deep blue light.

In the sky, the space trembled with each collision between the Emerald Flame and the deep blue light. As the two fought faster and faster, they transformed into streaks of light, creating a series of explosions in the air.

Everyone in the main hall had already arrived at the plaza. Looking at the energy transmitted from the collision of the two figures in the sky, not one of them could help but tremble with fear.

After all, each of these energy streams, even a single one, could obliterate most of them. Even Peak Dou Emperor like Jia Xingtian knew that facing such an attack would likely result in severe injury, and that death would be the only outcome under such continuous onslaught.

The Emerald Flame and the Deep Cyan Dou Qi collided once more, shattering another space. However, after this collision and separation, the two figures did not close up again; instead, they stopped at a certain distance.

After pausing mid-air, Lin Ming remained calm and composed, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then uttered a few soft words.

"Yun Shan, it seems your opponent today should be him!"
