Spear Executive
"Hehehe... What a useless piece of trash, unable to hold on so quickly."
At this critical moment, a sudden change occurred!
A sinister laugh, imbued with a chilling, greedy, and incredibly powerful aura, swept across the entire battlefield like a cold wind from the Nine Nether, instantly silencing all the cheers and clamor!
The Soul Pressure contained in that voice caused everyone on the battlefield, including Medusa and Xie Bi Yan who were engaged in fierce combat, to involuntarily feel a shiver in their souls. They all stopped what they were doing and stared in horror at the source of the voice.
Above the center of the battlefield, space twisted and cracked like a shattered mirror. Then, three figures shrouded in thick, tangible Black Mist, like demons crawling out of Hell Rift, slowly stepped out into the air.
The leader, Black Mist was the most solid and profound, was not tall, but the aura he exuded was like a bottomless abyss, making people tremble at the sight of him, as if their souls would be sucked in if they looked at him for too long.
Within the Black Mist swirling around him, countless tormented and twisted souls could be vaguely seen struggling and wailing, radiating a nauseating evil and chilling aura. His aura had clearly reached the Peak Dou Ancestor!
Behind him on either side followed two figures who were slightly weaker, but equally powerful. Their auras had also reached the level of Three-Star Dou Ancestor!
The moment these three appeared, the air on the entire battlefield seemed to freeze; a sense of fear, stemming from an instinct for survival, gripped the heart of everyone present.
"Iron Protector, help me!"
As three dark figures appeared, the Mu Lan Three Elders immediately called out, recognizing the terrifying aura behind one of them as Iron Protector, who had been in contact with them.
Hearing the three people's cries for help, the leader of the three dark figures glanced with his crimson eyes, hidden beneath the Black Mist, at the Mu Lan Three Elders were lying on the ground, barely breathing, and said in a chilling voice, "Tie Zhi, these are the people you've been looking for."
Facing the person before him, Tie Zhi was merely a Protector, and the lowest-ranking one at Protector —a Human Tier Protector. He dared not refute, and could only reply obsequiously, "Spear Executive, I didn't expect these three to be such useless trash. However, since they are so useless, filling the gap in our Branch Hall's Wu Ying with these three should make up for a lot."
Seeing that Spear Executive hadn't reacted since he finished speaking, Iron Protector couldn't help but feel uneasy. He knew that the Soul Hall had a strict hierarchy, and as the highest-ranking member of the Venerable Elder, the deacon could easily punish Protector like himself. Offending him would mean facing considerable hardship.
After anxiously waiting for a few moments, if Iron Protector had a physical body, he would definitely be sweating profusely by now. Fortunately, at that moment, the cold voice of the spear master in front of him came again.
"Go!"
Those two simple, cold words sounded more comforting to Tie Zhi than the warm spring sun.
Upon receiving the order, Iron Protector immediately transformed into a black shadow and attacked the Mu Lan Three Elders.
In the blink of an eye, Iron Protector arrived beside the Mu Lan Three Elders, and immediately a chilling Ghost Claw emerged from beneath his black robe, grabbing at the Mu Lan Three Elders!
"No! Iron Protector, spare our lives!" The Mu Lan Three Elders sensed the deadly danger and begged for mercy in despair.
However, an invisible, terrifying force descended instantly. Three illusory Soul Body, filled with terror and pain, were forcibly torn from their tattered bodies, emitting silent shrieks. They transformed into three streams of light and disappeared into the Iron Protector's sleeve. The Mu Lan Three Elders, on the other hand, completely lost their life force and collapsed to the ground.
Iron Protector's actions stunned everyone present.
After all, the Mu Lan Three Elders had begged for help from the man in black robes, but now they were the ones who died at their hands.
However, while the others were shocked, Lin Ming was already used to it. At this moment, Lin Ming focused all his attention on the Spear Executive who had the aura of Peak Dou Ancestor.
Seeing Lin Ming's gaze fixed on him, Spear Executive's crimson eyes also fixed on Lin Ming, his cold interrogation like a viper's hiss, "So it seems you're the one who captured someone from my Soul Hall?"
Facing the Spear Executive, Lin Ming's eyes held a hint of seriousness, but without the slightest fear, as he asked, "Is there a difference?"
Lin Ming's words instantly enraged Spear Executive.
You see, he was usually the one who treated people this way, but now, this Lin Ming, who was only One Star Dou Ancestor, dared to be so arrogant in front of him. The pressure of Peak Dou Ancestor was like a tangible mountain, pressing down on Lin Ming. At the same time, Spear Executive's voice became even more sinister. "Good, good, good! Now even the most insignificant Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to bark at me!"
Faced with the terrifying pressure from the Spear Executive, Lin Ming snorted coldly. His Dou Qi surged within him, and the space around him rippled slightly. The immense pressure was instantly dissipated by this invisible Space Power, allowing Lin Ming to remain upright and unmoved.
Seeing that Lin Ming remained completely unmoved under the pressure of his Peak Dou Ancestor, Spear Executive was slightly surprised. However, confident in his own strength, he immediately regained his aloof demeanor and said, "Boy, I hope you can withstand a few more moves from me."
After speaking to Lin Ming, Spear Executive gave instructions to the two men who were following him.
"Tie Zhi, Xuan Yi, go and deal with the rest."
"Yes, Spear Executive!"
Like Tie Zhi, Xuan Yi Xuan Protector, a Human Tier Protector, dared not disobey Spear Executive's orders and immediately returned with Iron Protector.
Upon receiving the order, Xuan Protector, seeing himself getting closer to the massive crowd, immediately charged forward without hesitation. Seeing Xuan Yi's actions, Iron Protector could only curse inwardly and had no choice but to fight the remaining Dou Zong Xiao Yi Xian himself.
Seeing that both Iron Protector and Xuan Protector were following his orders, Spear Executive turned his gaze to Lin Ming again. Suddenly remembering that the intelligence he had gathered mentioned that Lin Ming also had a Soul Body of Dou Zong, Spear Executive said with a condescending look, "Boy, don't you have another Soul Body? Call it out and join us! Otherwise, you won't have a chance."
"Is that so? But since you've brought it up, Elder Yao, why don't you come out and play with them?" Lin Ming said with a sneer, facing Spear Executive 'Sure of Victory confident expression.
"Alright! Then this old man will come out and play with them." As Lin Ming finished speaking, an aged yet arrogant and powerful voice rang out from the White Storage Ring in Lin Ming's hand.
The next moment, a powerful aura far surpassing that of all the Dou Zong present suddenly erupted from the White Storage Ring on Lin Ming's finger!
An incredibly solid, almost lifelike, old man's Soul Body floated out, with white hair and beard, a solemn face, and scorching fire-attribute energy surrounding him. His aura had reached the Peak Eight-Star Dou Ancestor!
"Peak Eight-Star Dou Ancestor soul body?! How is this possible?!" Iron Protector exclaimed in disbelief.
After all, he was the one who submitted the intelligence, which stated that Elder Yao was only Three-Star Dou Ancestor, at most Four Stars. But now he has reached the Peak Eight-Star Dou Ancestor, a huge difference.
Sure enough, seeing that Elder Yao had reached the Peak Eight-Star Dou Ancestor, Spear Executive's expression changed from disdain to solemnity, and at the same time, there was a hint of greed in his eyes.
"Elder Yao, then Xuan Protector will have to trouble you." Lin Ming said to Elder Yao as soon as he came out.
After all, the rest of the Jia Ma Empire couldn't stop Dou Zong, the Xuan Protector, so Lin Ming had no choice but to ask Elder Yao for help.
Upon hearing this, and considering the terrifying power of Lin Ming's Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame and his numerous Trump Cards, which meant that Lin Ming should have no problem facing this Peak Dou Ancestor Spear Executive, Elder Yao immediately nodded and said, "Then Lin Ming, be careful. I will deal with him as soon as possible and then come to help you."
After speaking, with Lin Ming nodding, Elder Yao immediately flew towards Xuan Protector.
"Boy, since you're courting death, then this steward will grant your wish!" Seeing Lin Ming send Elder Yao away to deal with Xuan Yi, Spear Executive felt slighted and immediately attacked Lin Ming.
The Spear Executive's withered hand suddenly shot out, his five fingers forming claws, the black nails gleaming with an eerie light, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that Space-Tearing, directly grabbing at Lin Ming's crown! This claw contained the immense Dou Qi of his Peak Dou Ancestor as well as a strange power that eroded the soul, and its speed was extreme!
Faced with the terrifying attack from the Spear Executive, Lin Ming's eyes sharpened, but he did not dodge.
At this moment, Lin Ming clenched his right fist, and the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame erupted, like a roaring fire dragon, coiling upwards! At the same time, the Space Power around him fluctuated, and his figure slightly shifted to the side by a hair's breadth, perfectly avoiding the sharpest point of the claw attack. His fist, burning with Heavenly Flames, clashed fiercely with the Spear Executive's Ghost Claw!
"Boom--!!!"
The crimson light clashed and eroded the Pitch-black Soul Hall Dou Qi, unleashing a deafening roar! The energy storm spread out like ripples, tearing the surrounding space open with tiny black cracks!
In this direct confrontation, Lin Ming staggered and took half a step back before regaining his footing. Even the Spear Executive trembled slightly, and the Black Mist swirling around his outstretched hand hissed as it was Heavenly Flames, emitting a faint smell of burning!
"How is this possible?!" Spear Executive's pupils shrank, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He was Peak Dou Ancestor! His opponent was only One Star Dou Ancestor. Even with a Heavenly Flames, how could he possibly hold his own in a head-on clash?! That Dou Qi, condensed to the extreme, and that unpredictable spatial perception that seemed to predict his attack trajectory, were far beyond the scope of One Star Dou Ancestor!
"What kind of Heavenly Flames is this...?" The Spear Executive's crimson eyes were filled with astonishment and an even deeper greed.
"Want to know? Go ask King Yama when you're in hell!" Lin Ming shook his slightly numb fist, the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame leaping in his palm, his eyes cold and confident.
With his spatial control far surpassing that of his peers and his devastating Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame, Lin Ming now possesses the ability to directly contend with Peak Dou Ancestor without being at a disadvantage!
