Discussing a Deal Again

The enormous bear legs, with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, crushed and shattered the space in their path as they plummeted downwards.

The blazing fireball, radiating intense heat, continued to rise, incinerating everything in its path into nothingness.

As the two forces drew closer, everyone held their breath, causing the massive Misty Cloud Sect to fall into an eerie silence. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two enormous energies finally collided.

Unlike the violent impact sounds emitted by the previous attacks, the contact between these two energies, while producing a sound, was not intense. Instead, it was a hissing sound, like a fireball hitting an ice surface.

Astonished gazes were fixed on the sky. As the blazing fireball and the deep yellow bear leg collided and eroded each other, space itself was shattered. At the point of contact, a strange Black Hole quietly appeared.

Once the Black Hole was formed at the point where the two energies collided and compressed, it faced these two energies as if they were a delicious meal, and immediately opened its abyssal maw and began to devour them.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Black Hole silently swallow up the spectacular explosion that everyone had hoped to witness, a sense of amusement immediately arose in many people's hearts.

To everyone's surprise, the Dou Technique unleashed by Lin Ming and the Barbarian Dou Ancestor were completely swallowed up by the Black Hole and vanished without a trace.

After the Black Hole swallowed both attacks, it exhaled a burst of scorching heat, looking like it had just eaten and was burping with a satisfied expression.

"It seems this dramatic scene of much ado about nothing is about to end!" Fama said to Jia Xing Tian after seeing the Black Hole swallow the creature and completely dissipate without any energy fluctuation.

Jia Xing Tian with Fama's words and was about to nod in acknowledgment, but just as he was about to nod, the Black Hole began to fluctuate violently.

The movement of the Black Hole in the sky immediately drew everyone's attention.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Black Hole's fluctuations became increasingly violent. As the fluctuations intensified, a chilling energy wave emanated from the Black Hole.

Seeing the Black Hole expanding violently like an inflated balloon, many people immediately activated their Dou Qi, wrapping themselves in layers of Dou Qi. After all, there had been quite a few casualties caused by the energy fluctuations today, and many people already had a wealth of experience.

There were many people enveloped in Dou Qi, including Lin Ming.

Meanwhile, the Black Hole, which had trembled and expanded to an enormous size, calmed down once again, as if it were toying with everyone, despite the efforts of many to protect it.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Amidst the anxious breathing of the crowd, the Black Hole remained calm and even showed signs of shrinking in size.

"Damn it, another bluff." Seeing the Black Hole calm down and shrink in size, many of the defenders cursed inwardly.

After all, many of them were prominent figures, and now they were terrified by this energy, acting like frightened birds. However, it seemed that the energy was about to dissipate after toying with them. This immediately drew mocking looks from those who hadn't used their own energy for protection. For these people who cared about their reputation, this was definitely a loss of face. But they couldn't afford to offend the person who had released these two energies, so they could only curse inwardly.

Cursing inwardly, some immediately withdrew their protective Dou Qi, while only a few remained cautious and continued to maintain their defenses. It was this caution that kept the vast majority of them safe from harm.

The expanding Black Hole suddenly stopped shrinking when it was almost half its original size. Then, a sound more violent than ever before came from the Black Hole.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar like the creation of the world, a fiery and heavy energy Shockwave instantly swept across the Misty Cloud Sect.

The deafening roar knocked some of the lower-level disciples unconscious, and the Shockwave sealed their fate. Those who had been protecting themselves and hadn't withdrawn their Dou Qi could only be thankful for their wise decision. Otherwise, they would likely have suffered the same fate as those around them, whose lives were now unknown.

As they desperately resisted the energy Shockwave, every breath felt incredibly long. Fortunately, they only experienced the aftershocks, and it eventually passed.

As the aftershocks passed, those who had blocked them were shocked by the power of even the aftershocks, and their gazes immediately turned to the two people in the air.

You have to understand, the two of them were at the very center of this energy outburst. Under such energy, even they probably wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

Under the watchful eyes of many, the pervasive energy fluctuations slowly dissipated.

As the energy subsided, the two figures in the sky reappeared before everyone.

At this moment, the Barbarian Dou Ancestor looked disheveled, with many of the patterns on his body showing signs of being burned by the high temperature. Of course, Lin Ming couldn't escape unscathed from this energy attack either. But from the outside, apart from his tattered clothes, there was nothing else unusual about him.

Seeing this, many people were shocked. In a battle between a Dou Emperor Dou Zong, the Dou Zong expert was the first to show signs of injury. How could this not be surprising?

In the clash between Lin Ming and the Barbarian Dou Ancestor Dou Technique, besides the two of them who suffered the most damage in the very center, the Soul Body Venerable Yao and Protector Wu were also significantly affected.

Faced with this terrifying energy explosion, they had no choice but to take precautions. So now that the energy has subsided, the two of them have revealed themselves.

At this moment, the Venerable Yao's figure had become completely transparent after this consumption, as if it would dissipate in the next instant. In comparison, although the Black Veins on Protector Wu's body were also sparse and about to be completely consumed, they were still much better than those on the Venerable Yao.

As the Venerable Yao revealed himself, Lin Ming frowned slightly upon seeing him.

Given the current state of Venerable Yao, it's impossible for him to escape from Protector Wu; his capture is inevitable. And if Venerable Yao is captured, Xiao Yan, in his current state, has no chance of escaping either.

Even if Xiao Yan's girlfriend Xun Er doesn't cause trouble after these two are arrested, what if she does? And if Xiao Yan is arrested, can he withstand the Soul Hall's attacks on the Middle Continent without Xiao Yan's protection?

The first option is to appeal. The second option is to take matters into one's own hands and defeat Xiao Yan and his disciple. The advantage of this would be that one could obtain the two Heavenly Flames on Xiao Yan's body Bone Spirit Cold Flame on Venerable Yao's body, and all of Venerable Yao's collection over the years. However, this would not only make one an enemy of everyone present, but also offend the Soul Hall and Xiao Yan's girlfriend. In this scenario, one would be an enemy of the entire world.

After some thought, Lin Ming realized that neither of these options was viable; it seemed another deal was about to be made!
