Yun Shan Falls

The energy surging from the gathered Fire Lotus was immense. Yet, as it hurtled forth, it was remarkably calm. The space it passed through did not even create the slightest ripple.

Watching the Fire Lotus flash by without making a ripple or a sound, a chill ran through everyone's hearts.

You must understand, at this speed, even throwing a stone would definitely make a popping sound. But this Fire Lotus, containing such terrifying power, is so quiet. It must be because anything that gets in its way has been completely annihilated, not even having time to make a sound.

Under the gaze of countless Daoists, the Fire Lotus flashed across the sky like a shooting star, heading towards the deep blue tornado.

The Fire Lotus approached the tornado at an extremely fast speed, and then, upon contact with the tornado, it merged into it as easily as a small pebble falling into water, without making a fuss.

"Burst!"

The instant the Fire Lotus entered the deep blue tornado, Xiao Yan let out a soft shout and snapped his fingers, causing a brilliant lotus flower to suddenly bloom. Beneath the blooming lotus, a three-colored firework immediately appeared from the whirlwind.

"Boom~~~"

The silence that preceded the Fire Lotus's passage was matched by the intensity of its bloom. The sound seemed to reach the heavens and the Netherworld.

Following the deafening explosion, an even more terrifying energy storm followed, spreading over a hundred feet in less than a breath.

The violent explosion and terrifying energy fluctuations caused even the fiercely battling Venerable Yao and Protector Wu to stop what they were doing and look in shock toward the source of the blast.

Terrifying energy, mixed with waves of fire, swept outwards at an extremely fast speed. Under this sweep, many people were first struck like heavy hammer blows, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood. Then, under the spread of the fire waves, their entire bodies were instantly vaporized.

As the flames surged forward, the sunlight that had just been shining from the sky vanished. The entire sky above the Misty Cloud Sect was now engulfed in flames.

"As expected of Xiao Yan's exclusive Dou Technique, Fire Lotus! Even from this distance, it still possesses such power." Looking at the energy waves spreading in front of them, as the others used their Dou Qi to isolate them, Lin Ming nodded and said.

As the flames spread, the fiery clouds obscured the sky. After an unknown amount of time, a violent fluctuation suddenly occurred within a certain part of the fiery clouds in the sky.

Amidst the ripples, two figures immediately burst forth, one after the other.

The sudden appearance of two figures immediately drew everyone's attention. However, under everyone's clear gaze, the two figures were not the two people everyone expected, but rather Protector Wu and Venerable Yao.

The two who had emerged from the fiery cloud immediately stabilized themselves only after they had moved quite a distance away from it.

After the two regained their footing, their appearances had changed considerably from before.

The Protector Wu, who had previously been shrouded in Black Mist, was now nowhere to be seen, only a large black cloak covering his entire body. Even under the cloak, one could clearly feel the violent heaving of his chest.

Of course, the Venerable Yao's condition was not much better. His already somewhat illusory body became even more translucent, and his face looked even older.

"Heh heh! Old man. I didn't expect your Soul Body without a body to be so troublesome. No wonder you are the renowned Venerable Yao of the continent!" With the black cloak fluttering, Protector Wu's unpleasant voice carried a hint of approval.

"Hmph! My soul isn't so easily taken away!" As Protector Wu's voice fell, Venerable Yao snorted coldly, with a hint of arrogance in his voice.

Upon hearing this, a slightly sinister voice slowly emanated from beneath the black cloak of Protector Wu: "You, Yao Chen, are not easy to deal with. But do you think I, Protector Wu, am so easily dealt with? Rest assured, no matter the cost, I will take your soul with me Protector. After all, as long as I bring you back, any price can be made up for! So, Yao Chen, are you ready! Hehehe!"

Hearing Protector Wu's words, accompanied by the raven's mournful laughter, even Venerable Yao couldn't help but feel a chill. After all, according to Protector Wu, he was willing to pay any price. As for these monsters of the Soul Hall, even he, Venerable Yao, who was famous throughout the continent, knew very little. He was completely unaware of their ultimate methods.

As the Venerable Yao pondered, the fiery clouds in the sky once again emitted fluctuations.

Amidst the fluctuating fiery clouds, two small vortexes suddenly appeared not far apart. As these vortexes intensified, two soft "plop" sounds rang out, one after the other. Then, two figures were seen falling out of the vortexes.

The two figures that fell out were none other than Xiao Yan and Yun Shan. Both of them were unconscious and were falling wildly towards the ground.

Seeing Xiao Yan falling towards the ground, the Venerable Yao immediately flashed in front of Xiao Yan and caught him steadily.

On the other side, seeing Yun Shan falling faster and faster, the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect disregarded everything else and immediately flapped their Wings of Dou Qi, flying rapidly towards the falling Yun Shan, determined to catch it before Yun Shan hit the ground.

"Waste!"

With a curse in his mouth, Protector Wu moved instantly, grabbing Yun Shan before the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect arrived.

"His internal organs are severely damaged, and his meridians are completely shattered. Even if these injuries can be healed, the cost would be far beyond what a small Yun Shan like you can afford." After pulling Yun Shan back, Protector Wu immediately sensed Yun Shan's condition and murmured it out.

After sensing the situation, and pondering for only a moment, Protector Wu spoke to the unconscious Yun Shan, saying, "Since your Misty Cloud Sect cannot afford the price, then let Yun Shan's soul pay for it!"

After speaking, Protector Wu lifted Yun Shan upwards, and then Black Mist surged from his other palm before slamming down hard on Yun Shan's crown.

"Puff!"

After Protector Wu slammed his palm down, the unconscious Yun Shan suddenly opened his eyes, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Then, as if still carrying a trace of lingering affection, his open eyes slowly began to close.

Transforming his palm into a claw, Protector Wu pulled with all his might, forcibly ripping a phantom figure from Yun Shan's body. As this phantom was pulled out, Yun Shan, who was still at the height of his power and full of boastful talk even today, officially went offline and became a corpse.
