Various Parties Appear

In the plaza, seeing the terrifying energy emanating from each of them, no one could help but feel terrified.

Either of these two energies, if they were to touch them, would be capable of annihilating them.

The two streams, each containing terrifying energy, suddenly collided before everyone's eyes.

"Boom!"

The collision was accompanied by the power of mountains collapsing and the terror of thunder destroying the world.

The deafening explosion caused countless people to lose their hearing instantly. At the same time, the Energy Ripple from the collision made many people lose their balance.

Of course, the impact on the ground is far less than that in the air. And at the point where the energy collides, space is distorted and then shatters.

Beneath the distorted and shattered space, a dark figure suddenly flashed out from the Energy Ripple.

"You're courting death!" The appearance of the dark figure immediately made Yun Shan burst into angry laughter.

After all, in the close-quarters combat just now, he had been in a completely dominant position. Xiao Yan had been beaten so badly that he was bruised and even coughed up blood.

Now, it dared to launch another direct attack on him. So when he saw the dark figure's powerful fist coming towards his face, Yun Shan's hand shot out and easily grabbed the incoming fist, preventing it from advancing an inch.

When Yun Shan grabbed his fist, Xiao Yan showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a mocking expression rose in his eyes.

Faced with Xiao Yan's sarcasm, Yun Shan was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly felt a cold aura mixed with an unusual heat emerge from his back.

The powerful aura emanating from behind immediately startled Yun Shan. He instinctively reached back to try and block the unknown aura.

Sensing that Yun Shan wanted to return the visit, and knowing this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a sneak attack, Xiao Yan wasn't about to let it go to waste. So at that very moment, Xiao Yan's fist, which had been held back by Yun Shan, immediately opened and transformed into a palm, firmly gripping Yun Shan's arm.

With his arm grabbed and unable to defend himself, and feeling the attack about to land behind him, Yun Shan knew there was no time to react. At this moment, he no longer thought about defending himself, but rather about finding out who had attacked him. So Yun Shan turned his head to look back, and a somewhat illusory, aged figure appeared in his pupils.

"So this is the Venerable Yao that Protector Wu mentioned!"

As Yun Shan's thought crossed his mind, the attack from behind had already landed on his back.

"Puff!"

Having taken a solid blow from Yao Chen, Yun Shan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

As blood gushed out, Xiao Yan, who was holding his arm, slammed down with all his might. As a result, Yun Shan, who had been so imposing just moments before, was now like a cannonball, hurtling straight down from the sky to the ground.

"Sect Master!" Many members of the Misty Cloud Sect immediately shouted upon seeing the falling Yun Shan.

Their Sect Master was a powerful Dou Zong expert, yet he had been defeated and fallen straight from the sky, his fate unknown. Therefore, his cries contained not only worry but also fear.

If Yun Shan, a Dou Zong, were to die, then these people would essentially have no chance of escaping and would follow in Yun Shan's footsteps.

Of course, it wasn't just the people from the Misty Cloud Sect who were on edge; the Great Family and the rest of the group were also watching with bated breath.

Leaving aside the fact that the battle above will determine the future of the Jia Ma Empire, the mere fact that this battle between Dou Zong has broken out is enough to make them dare not be careless in the slightest.

Now, Yun Shan, a Dou Zong, has been knocked down and is missing, his fate unknown. While they are shocked, they also want to see who could have beaten Yun Shan to such a state.

Therefore, everyone immediately turned their gaze upwards to the sky. They saw a slightly illusory figure standing next to the Black-robed Youth at the battle site.

"Who is he?"

When everyone looked at the illusory figure beside Xiao Yan, they all showed expressions of astonishment and bewilderment. They had no recollection of this suddenly appearing mysterious powerhouse and felt extremely unfamiliar with him.

Less than ten feet from the ground, the falling Yun Shan suddenly stopped. Then, with a powerful stomp of its feet, ripples spread through the void, and its figure rose up once more.

Seeing Yun Shan return to the battlefield, the Misty Cloud Sect members' worries lessened considerably. From the current perspective, at least their Sect Master still had the strength to fight.

Of course, while their worries lessened considerably, they couldn't completely disappear. Because of this suddenly appearing powerful figure, none of them knew his background, and given the earlier incident where he and Xiao Yan had injured Yun Shan in a combined attack, they didn't know if Yun Shan could withstand their combined assault.

Seeing Yun Shan return to the battlefield with a ferocious expression, blood still dripping from his mouth, Xiao Yan sneered, "Old dog, where's your arrogance from before?"

"You sharp-tongued little bastard, I told you, none of those who came today will escape. When I catch you, I'll knock your teeth out one by one. Then I'll see if this little bastard is still so sharp-tongued." Looking at the two people in front of him, amidst the flickering figures of Xiao Yan and the old man, Yun Shan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a mocking smile.

"Hmph! Yun Shan, you are the first Dou Zong to dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me. If it were back then, I could have wiped you and your Misty Cloud Sect out of the Dou Qi Continent with just one word." As soon as Yun Shan finished speaking, Yao Chen immediately snorted and retorted.

"I naturally believe what Venerable Yao says. However, things are not the same as before, and you are no longer the Venerable Yao you speak of. You are now merely a Soul Body!" Yun Shan replied with a sinister smile as he faced Yao Chen.

"Heh! Arrogant. Even if I were just a Soul Body, killing a low-level Dou Zong like you would be enough." Yao Chen said slowly, and the eerie white flames around him immediately surged and began to swirl.

"Hehe, dealing with you doesn't require the sect's intervention. There are others who will take care of you. Moreover, they've been waiting for you for quite some time." Looking at the flames swirling around Yao Chen, Yun Shan showed no fear, but instead chuckled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shan clapped his hands together, and a crisp sound echoed across the sky. At the same time, Yun Shan's words traveled along with the sound.

"Protector Wu, the Yao Chen you've been waiting for has appeared!"

As Yun Shan finished speaking, a large plume of Black Mist surged out from a large hall behind them. As the Black Mist gathered in the sky, it transformed into a deep fog ball about ten feet wide.
