Return of the Barbarian Race
"Hmph! With this lousy formation, it's already a blessing that your little Misty Cloud Sect can use it for cover. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also dare to expose my existence. You truly have no sense of mortality!" A voice carrying a hint of a beastly roar but extremely domineering sound came from the sky at this moment.
As the sound traveled, people turned their attention from the Ancient Dragon Bear to the voice. Then, right from the Ancient Dragon Bear's paw, a figure stood suspended in mid-air.
"This... this... can levitate in the air without using Wings of Dou Qi, this is another Dou Zong Master!" Someone exclaimed as they looked at the figure levitating in mid-air.
The figure was fully revealed, suspended in mid-air. Its bare upper body was covered with patterns, but there were obvious gaps where these patterns converged. The person also had a rough face. Beneath the empty head, the face was covered with curly, pale golden hair.
Upon seeing the patterns on this person's body, Lin Ming immediately felt a sense of familiarity and murmured, "This pattern..."
"They're Barbarian Race!" Zi Yan blurted out as Lin Ming murmured.
Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Lin Ming immediately realized that she was indeed a member of the Barbarian Race. Back when he found the Mysterious Yellow Flame and refined it to return to his homeland, he and Zi Yan encountered a member of the Barbarian Race on the road.
Back then, the Barbarian Race wanted to harm Zi Yan, so Lin Ming sent him to his death. Unexpectedly, he has now encountered another Barbarian Race at the Dou Zong Misty Cloud Sect.
Of course, the sudden appearance of this Barbarian Race immediately put Protector Wu on alert. After all, judging from his aura, this person was not much weaker than him now. If this person were on the opposite side, then even with the great price he had paid today, it would probably be difficult to take Yao Chen away.
After a moment's thought, Protector Wu spoke first, "Friend, these two are people our Soul Hall wants. Protector am determined to bring them back this time. May I ask what brings you here? If you need anything, our Soul Hall can also offer some assistance."
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, but seeing the terrifying aura emanating from Protector Wu, the Barbarian Dou Ancestor glanced at Protector Wu, then pointed slightly at Lin Ming and Zi Yan and said calmly, "What I need are these two. You seek your target, I want my prey. Let's not interfere with each other."
"Heh heh, deal!" As the Barbarian Dou Ancestor finished speaking, Protector Wu immediately let out a sinister laugh.
Xiao Yan overheard the conversation in mid-air. Now, seeing that the Protector Wu had reached a consensus and was focusing his gaze on him and his master, Xiao Yan, despite being severely injured, clenched his fists and said to Old Yao, "Master, let's fight him!"
Facing Xiao Yan, the Venerable Yao slowly grasped his arm and said gently, "You should go and rest first. Leave this to your teacher."
Faced with the words of the Venerable Yao, Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, "Teacher, you..."
It should be noted that when Old Yao fought Protector Wu before, although he had the upper hand, he was not completely crushed. He could only be said to have a slight advantage. However, now that Protector Wu has devoured the souls of Yun Shan and a group of elders of the Misty Cloud Sect, his strength has greatly increased. If Old Yao were to face him again, his chances of survival would be slim.
Knowing Xiao Yan's worries, but Xiao Yan was currently completely incapacitated. Not only could he not offer any help here, but he would also be a distraction. Therefore, as Xiao Yan spoke, the Venerable Yao gently interrupted, "Don't worry, even if his strength has greatly increased, capturing me won't be so easy."
After speaking, Venerable Yao did not delay any longer. He placed his hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder, grabbed him, and with a burst of gentle force, sent Xiao Yan flying to the ground.
"Heh heh, Yao Chen, this is pointless. Neither of you will escape today!" Protector Wu sneered, watching Venerable Yao's actions.
"Is that so? If you want my soul, you'll have to pay the price!" As the Venerable Yao spoke, a dense, Bone White Flame emerged from his palm, then began to rise, its intense heat causing the space itself to distort.
"The price? Protector 've already paid it!" The crimson eyes beneath the black cloak suddenly blazed, Protector Wu's chilling voice echoed, "So, Yao Chen, next, it's your turn to offer your soul!"
The powerful, chilling Killing intent emanating from Protector Wu caused Venerable Yao's mind to sink. However, in just a breath, a surging, powerful Soul Power burst forth from Venerable Yao's body. That terrifying pressure seemed to be able to contend with Protector Wu's chilling Killing Intent.
"Heh heh, want to fight to the death? But you won't have the chance!" Seeing the Venerable Yao unleash his Soul Origin, Protector Wu let out a strange laugh. Strange Black Mist also emerged from his body and gathered in the sky above him.
The Black Mist gathered and condensed, forming a layer of dark clouds that completely enveloped the sky above the Misty Cloud Sect, creating a terrifying pressure that blotted out the sun.
Under the cover of dark clouds, Protector Wu's figure vanished instantly, as if he had never existed in this world.
Seeing the vanished Protector Wu, Venerable Yao immediately unleashed another surge of Bone White Flame, engulfing his entire body in the fire.
Enveloped in flames, the Venerable Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly unleashed a powerful punch into the void behind him.
"Boom!"
As the fist surged, the terrifying Soul Power it carried generated an incomparably powerful gust of wind, causing spatial ripples and culminating in a deafening impact.
At the point where the fist struck, a dark figure silently appeared, also throwing a punch that clashed violently with the Venerable Yao's fist. After the first blow landed, the two launched another attack, and a series of explosions rang out.
The battle between the Venerable Yao and the Protector Wu generated gusts of wind and bursts of explosions. At the same time, the Barbarian Dou Ancestor also began to make his move.
The Barbarian Dou Ancestor took a step forward, and the Ancient Dragon Bear followed suit, stepping out into the void as well. With this step, the void trembled once more.
As the Barbarian Dou Ancestor brought the Ancient Dragon Bear to a stop not far away, Lin Ming frowned slightly.
"This aura... it's definitely true! You are the Ancient Void Dragon that my clan has been searching for!" As the Barbarian Dou Ancestor approached, his gaze was fixed on Zi Yan, and then he grinned and said.
"Hmph! You ignorant fools, how dare you touch her!" Seeing the Barbarian Dou Ancestor's expression as if he were looking at prey that he had caught, Lin Ming immediately snorted coldly, took a step forward, and directly protected Zi Yan behind him.
