Battle Against the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master!

Battle Against the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master!

Bone Chilling Flame, ranked eleventh on the Strange Fire list.

It was a peculiar flame combining extreme cold and extreme heat, appearing only once every hundred years when the sun and moon alternated, in lands of utmost cold and yin.

Compared to other Strange Fires, Bone Chilling Flame possessed the unique power of both ice and fire. It could freeze thousands of miles and also burn with blazing flames.

The host had continuously stared at the target for 5 seconds.

The target was a flame naturally born from this world's origin. Would the host choose to replicate and refine it?

The moment Yao Lao brought out the Bone Chilling Flame, Jiang Han began staring at it.

Bone Chilling Flame replication and refinement in progress.

Progress: 10%

Progress: 30%

Progress: 70%

Progress: 100%

"Put away the Bone Chilling Flame. Let's see what's happening outside," Jiang Han said after a while.

If not for the Void Escape Tablet as his fallback, once the Strange Fire's replication was complete, Jiang Han would have considered making a run for it first.

After all, this was Soul Hall. Its waters ran deep!

With that, Jiang Han shattered the other light spheres in the plaza and burned away the chains, freeing the other trapped souls.

Once he had done all this, Jiang Han nodded in satisfaction.

The more chaotic this place became, the more at ease he felt!

"Didn't you need to devour it?"

After drawing the Bone Chilling Flame back into his body, Yao Chen looked at Jiang Han in confusion.

Jiang Han did not answer. He grabbed Xiao Yan and Yao Chen and swiftly rushed out of the main hall.

"Big Brother, Wind Venerable and Iron Sword Venerable seem to be at a disadvantage."

The moment they left the hall, Xiao Yan sensed four extremely violent currents of force clashing madly in the battle high above.

At this moment.

The area outside the massive hall had already become a complete mess. Cracks in the ground resembled gaping, ferocious mouths.

Even the distant valleys had been shattered by the aftershocks of the battle between four Dou Zun-level experts, while enormous boulders rumbled and crashed.

Looking again at the Sky Battlefield, figures flashed back and forth as vast Dou Qi filled the heavens.

Four terrifying powers of space rippled through the air, causing the entire space to tremble as long, thick spatial rifts emerged one after another.

"They've come out!"

Upon seeing Jiang Han's group below, great joy appeared on Wind Venerable's somewhat pale face.

The Soul Hall experts fighting them were all Five-Star Dou Zuns. He himself was only at the peak of Four-Star Dou Zun, while Iron Sword Venerable was merely a Two-Star Dou Zun.

If the battle continued, their defeat would only be a matter of time.

"Retreat!"

Jiang Han circulated his Dou Qi and roared toward the battlefield.

In the battlefield, Soul Hall's two Heavenly Venerables glanced at Jiang Han below, their faces turning more solemn.

If the other party had managed to rescue Yao Chen from within the hall, it meant the Venerable left behind to guard it had failed, perhaps even been killed.

At this thought, the two Heavenly Venerables exchanged glances.

Then, one of them took out a jade slip from his Storage Ring and crushed it without hesitation.

Seeing this, Wind Venerable and Iron Sword Venerable both felt a sense of foreboding rise in their hearts.

"Why have you awakened this hall?"

In the battlefield, a portion of space suddenly twisted.

Thick black mist seeped out from it, followed by an indifferent voice devoid of even the slightest emotion, resounding throughout heaven and earth.

"Reporting to Hall Master, intruders have broken in. With our strength, we cannot capture them immediately," the two Heavenly Venerables explained.

"You have some nerve."

The black mist churned as a hunched old man, as withered as a skeleton, appeared in Jiang Han's group's field of vision.

He wore a black robe. His aged face was exceptionally dry and shriveled, his eyes deeply sunken, while two ghostly flames flickered within their sockets, giving off an eerie air.

"The Hall of Souls Hall Master?"

Hearing the hunched old man's indifferent voice, Iron Sword Venerable's pupils suddenly contracted.

Jiang Han's expression changed slightly as well. That Wu Protector truly had been too low-ranking.

He had not expected the Hall of Souls Hall Master to be hidden here!

"Perhaps it would be more accurate to call me the Vice Hall Master." The hunched old man calmly looked at Iron Sword Venerable.

As his chilling words fell, the hunched old man suddenly formed a hand seal within his sleeve.

The instant the seal was formed, the hunched old man pointed a finger at Iron Sword Venerable.

Boom!

Accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion.

A destructive force suddenly swept out like a storm, centered on Iron Sword Venerable.

At that instant!

The entire massive hall and valley shook as if struck by an earthquake.

Spatial rifts spread outward from Iron Sword Venerable in every direction.

Feeling that overwhelming destructive force, one that was impossible to resist, Wind Venerable's heart sank to the depths.

As for Iron Sword Venerable at the center of the explosion, the countless sword blades he had swung out to defend himself shattered instantly.

Under the slaughtering force of that vast spatial power, Iron Sword Venerable's face turned pale in an instant. He sprayed out a mouthful of blood mist.

A crisp crack of breaking bones rang from his chest, and his entire body was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

In just one exchange.

Iron Sword Venerable was severely injured!

That was only because the other party had held back in order to take his Soul Body. Otherwise, he would have been dead beyond doubt!

Wind Venerable snapped out of his panic and immediately appeared behind Iron Sword Venerable, catching him steadily.

The hunched old man remained expressionless.

He raised his second finger and pointed it toward Wind Venerable.

Boom!

In an instant, a hundred-zhang-wide spatial storm surged up around Wind Venerable.

The storm erupted, seeming to connect heaven and earth as destructive ripples spread outward.

Under this finger strike, the already crumbling massive black hall collapsed with a thunderous crash.

The Soul Bodies Jiang Han had released were struck by that destructive ripple and, with a soft puff, turned into clumps of black ash.

Wind Venerable was severely injured as well, crashing heavily down with Iron Sword Venerable before the hall, which had already become ruins.

"Elder Wind, Elder Sword, how are you?"

Xiao Yan immediately stepped forward to support the two Venerables.

"Is this the gap between us and a Dou Saint?"

Wind Venerable struggled to straighten himself, his expression incomparably grim.

With his strength at the peak of Four-Star Dou Zun, he was like an ant in the other party's eyes.

Jiang Han's expression also grew more solemn.

Even if he used every last trump card he had, he still seemed unable to win.

He had miscalculated!

He should have come later.

Or waited until his luck was better before coming.

After all, there were so many branch halls, yet he had come precisely when this Vice Hall Master was stationed here.

"A bunch of ants."

High in the sky, the hunched old man looked down at Jiang Han's group.

Under the light, his withered face appeared all the more terrifying, ghostly flames dancing in his eyes.

As his hoarse voice, chilling enough to make one's scalp crawl, fell.

The hunched old man unleashed his third finger!

This time, its might was even more terrifying!

"Brother Wind, we've truly dragged you into this."

Yao Chen's aged face was filled with apology.

Against the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master, even at his peak, he would have been far from a match for him.

However.

Just as Wind Venerable, Iron Sword Venerable, and the others felt the space around them twisting and believed it was about to explode!

A crimson Energy Shield enveloped them.

Rumble!

A dazzling, blinding radiance erupted before the ruined massive hall.

Following that spatial explosion, a gigantic spherical crater several hundred meters in diameter took shape.

"Hm?"

In the sky, the hunched old man let out a surprised sound as he looked at the few people below, unharmed within the deep crater.

A moment later, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Interesting."
