You Just Wait! Void Escape Tablet!

"This energy..."

Within the deep pit, Wind Venerable and Iron Sword Venerable stared blankly at the crimson Energy Shield enveloping them, their eyes filled with shock.

This crimson energy differed from Dou Qi. It was so peculiar that they could not detect the source of its energy attribute at all.

But that did not affect their judgment of the crimson energy!

At the very least, this energy had just protected them and successfully blocked the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master's attack!

They looked again at Jiang Han, who stood before them.

He seemed like an entirely different person now, his aura carrying the same oppressive feeling.

"You leave first. Escape as fast as you can!" Jiang Han said, glancing back at Wind Venerable and the others.

As soon as he spoke, crimson energy erupted from within him, and a massive pillar of light shot straight into the sky.

The next instant!

A broad blade appeared in Jiang Han's hand as he charged toward the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master.

Wind Venerable and Iron Sword Venerable did not hesitate either. They immediately took Xiao Yan and Yao Lao and tore through the air.

"Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?"

The Soul Hall's two Heavenly Venerables seemed to have seen through Wind Venerable and the others' intentions, letting out cold snorts.

However.

Before they could give chase—

Centered on Jiang Han, four differently colored flames spread from his body alongside the crimson radiance.

The flames merged, transforming into a four-colored sea of fire.

The sea of fire surged until it formed a prison of four flames.

The prison was so vast that it directly trapped the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master and the two Heavenly Venerables within it.

Boom!

The two Heavenly Venerables tore through space. Just as they moved, two four-colored fire dragons eerily appeared before them within the prison and lunged at them.

Deafening explosions rang out in succession!

The two Heavenly Venerables were stopped at the same time.

"Looks like we'll have to deal with you first!"

The two Heavenly Venerables both looked toward Jiang Han. Jet-Black Chains emerged from the void around them and shot toward Jiang Han like lightning.

Faced with the Jet-Black Chains' strangling assault, Jiang Han met them with a punch.

His fist was wrapped in crimson energy and entwined with four-colored flames.

Crack!

The life-bound chains unleashed by the two Heavenly Venerables shattered instantly.

Jiang Han did not slow down. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the two Heavenly Venerables.

Without giving them the slightest chance to retaliate, he swiftly threw another punch.

Violent crimson energy, carrying four-colored flames like an ocean crashing against the shore, slammed viciously into the two Heavenly Venerables.

Bang!

The two Heavenly Venerables were sent flying, explosions sounding one after another in the void.

When they steadied themselves, wariness toward Jiang Han appeared on their pallid faces.

They had only ever felt such helplessness from the Great Heavenly Venerable, several elders, and the Hall Master.

Yet all of those beings were Dou Saint-level powerhouses!

In other words, had the person before them reached that level as well?

"You two, stand down."

The Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master's hoarse voice fell.

His ghostfire-filled eyes stared excitedly at Jiang Han.

That gaze was like that of a hunter spotting prey.

To him, the crimson radiance around Jiang Han was a mysterious energy he had never encountered before.

He desperately wanted to understand it!

Soul Devouring Sky Cleave!

The Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master let out a sinister, low shout.

The next moment, the space above Jiang Han churned violently, and an enormous hundred-zhang bone blade condensed into form, radiating a chilling aura.

As the bone blade descended, a strange ripple spread out first, flashing toward Jiang Han like lightning.

"A soul attack?"

Feeling the strange ripple rushing toward him, Jiang Han's expression turned incomparably serious.

Bang!

Jiang Han threw an unadorned punch. There was nothing fancy about it, only surging crimson energy.

Crimson light burst from Jiang Han's fist and met that strange ripple. A terrifying energy storm first erupted, after which both attacks annihilated each other and vanished.

"I'm even more interested in you now!"

Seeing Jiang Han so easily shatter the soul impact, the hunchbacked old man became even more delighted.

He sensed neither Dou Qi fluctuations nor any fluctuations from Jiang Han's soul body. There was only that unfathomable crimson energy.

As his cold words fell, the hunchbacked old man moved, appearing directly atop the hundred-zhang bone blade.

At the same time, black mist surged from his palm and transformed into a giant hand that gripped the blade's hilt!

The giant hand swung. The bone blade tore through space and arrived above Jiang Han's head in an instant, carrying an immensely terrifying sharpness as it slashed down!

Jiang Han gripped his broad blade with both hands.

Crimson energy enveloped the blade, while four interwoven flames surged over it.

He met the attack head-on!

Meanwhile.

At the outermost edge of the Dead Souls Mountain Range.

Above a mountain peak, ripples spread through the void.

Three figures darted out from the ripples.

"Did we escape?"

These three were naturally Wind Venerable, Iron Sword Venerable, and Xiao Yan. As for Yao Lao, he had reattached himself to Xiao Yan's Storage Ring.

The moment Xiao Yan finished speaking—

A deafening explosion erupted from deep within the Dead Souls Mountain Range. Dazzling light shot into the heavens, and an overwhelming energy storm instantly swept outward.

Under the aftermath of that energy, even at the outermost edge of the mountain range where they stood, forests collapsed in swathes, mountains were sheared apart, and shattered rocks flew everywhere.

"Big Brother..."

Xiao Yan stared toward the explosion, his fists clenched and his eyes reddening.

"I will remember this favor."

Yao Lao likewise stared into the depths of the mountain range. "Once I discover his origins, I will repay this debt a hundredfold to his family."

"Those people from Soul Hall have already remembered us. We should hide for the time being," Iron Sword Venerable said with a deep breath.

"Let's go. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid they'll catch up to us."

Wind Venerable took one final look toward the Soul Hall branch hall. "We can't let him die for nothing!"

With that, he tore through space and continued onward with the others.

Elsewhere.

The location where the massive black hall had once stood had become a bottomless, enormous black hole.

Above the black hole.

The prison formed from four Strange Fires shattered, and the scattered flames gradually went out.

On the battlefield, Jiang Han rested his broad blade on his shoulder and stared at the hunchbacked old man, panting heavily.

Although his full-force strike had successfully blocked the hunchbacked old man's hundred-zhang bone blade, he was exhausted to the point of death, with a massive drain on his essence, energy, and spirit.

Progress: 47%

Looking at the gaze progress again, it had not even reached halfway.

Just as he had expected.

With his current strength, he truly could not defeat this little old man.

Even using all his trump cards was useless!

The other side did not seem to have even exerted himself yet!

Host's gaze interrupted Host's gaze failed

"Old man, just wait until we meet again. I'll fucking kill you!"

Jiang Han withdrew his gaze from the hunchbacked old man and left behind a harsh threat.

"Do you think you can get away?"

The hunchbacked old man's gaze sharpened as he swiftly formed a hand seal.

"Freeze!"

As that single word rang out, the space around Jiang Han was directly imprisoned.

Jiang Han tried it. The power of space seemed to have been sealed, and for the moment, he could not tear open the void.

"Those few aren't worth my taking seriously, but you're different."

As the hunchbacked old man spoke with a smile, another bone blade of the same size as before formed above Jiang Han's head.

"You just wait."

With a thought from Jiang Han, a black stone tablet over two meters tall appeared out of thin air before him.
