Clearing Out the Sect

The two collided, producing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar.

Powerful energy ripples spread in all directions, and the surrounding air was instantly ignited.

Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan were sent flying backward by the shockwave, while Han Feng also retreated several steps.

Xiao Yan gasped for air, the previous strike having nearly exhausted all the Dou Qi within his body.

Yet he had no time to rest, for Han Feng had already launched another attack.

Han Feng danced his hands, and chains of blue flame shot toward Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yi Xian let out a sharp cry, her body instantly shrouded in green poison mist; the moment the flame chains touched the mist, they were corroded away.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian block Han Feng's attack, Xiao Yan felt a surge of joy; he once again circulated his remaining Dou Qi, preparing to use the Earth-tier Low-level Dou Technique: Earth-Splitting Mountain-Crushing Strike.

He gripped the Heavy Profound Ruler tightly with both hands, raised it high above his head, and then slammed it fiercely toward the ground.

A massive fissure spread out from beneath Xiao Yan's feet, extending rapidly toward Han Feng.

Feeling the immense power surging from beneath him, Han Feng flashed his figure, attempting to evade the crack.

But Xiao Yi Xian would not let him have his way; she formed seals with her hands, and a green light shot toward Han Feng, forcing him to divide his attention to deal with her attack.

Just as Han Feng was distracted, the fissure reached his feet.

Han Feng only had time to let out a roar before being swallowed by the crack.

However, Han Feng was, after all, a peak Dou Emperor; he quickly burst forth from the fissure.

At this moment, his clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in wounds, yet his eyes remained filled with fury and killing intent.

Han Feng shouted, and a dazzling light suddenly erupted from his body as a massive seal formed above his head.

This was his strongest killing move, the Earth-tier Mid-level Dou Technique: Light Radiance Seal.

Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan felt this powerful force, and their expressions turned incomparably grave.

But they did not retreat; instead, they decided to give their all to fight Han Feng to the death.

Xiao Yi Xian no longer suppressed the power of her Woe Poison Body, and her form was instantly enveloped in black poison mist, from which shrill cries echoed.

Xiao Yan also raised the Heavy Profound Ruler once more, preparing to meet Han Feng's attack.

The Light Radiance Seal thundered toward Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan, turning everything in its path to ash.

Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan launched their attacks simultaneously, colliding with the Light Radiance Seal.

Another heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar erupted, and powerful energy ripples spread outward once again.

This time, Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan could no longer withstand the force; their bodies were sent flying like kites with broken strings, blood spraying wildly from their mouths.

Han Feng did not fare well either; his body swayed, and he dropped to one knee, gasping for breath.

Just as the two sides reached a stalemate, Yao Chen tossed several bottles of recovery pills toward Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan.

"Little Yan, lass, take these recovery pills first. You have performed brilliantly; leave the rest to your teacher. Just watch and learn from the sidelines."

After catching the pills, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian flew toward Yao Chen, while Han Feng also took out his own pills to begin recovering.

Yao Chen flew before Han Feng, preparing to personally cleanse his sect; after all, it was his own mistake from years ago.

Yao Chen stood proudly, his powerful aura as a peak nine-star Dou Zong released without reservation, the surrounding air seemingly thickening under his pressure.

Opposite him, Han Feng's expression was grim, his eyes revealing a trace of fear, though mostly filled with unwillingness and desperation.

"Teacher, you were originally at the strength of a Dou Zun; how are you only at the Dou Zong level now?"

"Rebellious disciple! A Dou Zong is more than enough to kill you!"

Yao Chen stared coldly at Han Feng without a word of nonsense, flipped his palm, and a cluster of brilliant Dream-Illusion Blazing Flame instantly danced in his hand.

This purple flame was as beautiful as a dream, yet it contained endless destructive power.

Yao Chen waved his arm, and the Dream-Illusion Blazing Flame transformed into a roaring fire dragon, sweeping toward Han Feng.

Seeing this fire dragon, Han Feng gritted his teeth; he sensed the lethality of the Dream-Illusion Blazing Flame and dared not be the least bit careless.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, his internal Dou Qi surging wildly as he pushed the Sea Heart Flame to its limit.

The Sea Heart Flame poured from his body, forming a blue flame shield in an attempt to block the attack of the Dream-Illusion Blazing Flame.

The moment the Dream-Illusion Blazing Flame collided with the Sea Heart Flame, the entire valley was shrouded in dazzling light.

The two powerful Heavenly Flames intertwined and devoured one another, erupting with terrifying energy ripples.

The ground shook violently, rocks shattered, and the surrounding trees were instantly reduced to ash.

Han Feng desperately maintained the shield of Sea Heart Flame, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead as his body trembled under the immense pressure.

Yet, Yao Chen's strength was ultimately superior; the Dream-Illusion Blazing Flame gradually gained the upper hand, beginning to break through the defense of the Sea Heart Flame.

"Ah!"

Han Feng let out a miserable scream as the shield of Sea Heart Flame was shattered by the Dream-Illusion Blazing Flame, and the fire instantly spread across his body.

Han Feng's body was wrapped in purple flames, and he rolled on the ground in agony.

Just then, a black figure suddenly appeared beside Han Feng.

"Protector Jiu, save me!"

The figure exuded a sinister and terrifying aura; it was none other than Protector Jiu of the Soul Hall, an eight-star Dou Zong.

"What a useless piece of trash, failing at everything and still needing me to save you."

He snorted coldly and extended a withered palm, from which a powerful dark force surged, attempting to extinguish the Dream-Illusion Blazing Flame on Han Feng.

Seeing that the newcomer was indeed Protector Jiu of the Soul Hall, a fierce glint flashed in Yao Chen's eyes.

"The Soul Hall wants to save people too? With your measly strength, you aren't qualified. Today, you can stay here as well!"

He let out a loud shout, his internal Dou Qi erupted instantly, and he unleashed the newly acquired low-tier Heaven-rank Dou Skill, Soul-Slaying Demon-Sealing Strike.

Yao Chen's hands danced in the air, and countless mysterious runes emerged, converging into a massive beam of light.

This radiance carried boundless pressure as it descended upon Protector Jiu of the Soul Hall and Han Feng.

Feeling this immense power, Protector Jiu's expression changed drastically.

He tried to flee with Han Feng, only to discover that the surrounding space seemed to have been locked, rendering him unable to move.

The light instantly engulfed them, and Protector Jiu let out a roar of unwillingness.

"Impossible! You old geezer, you've actually recovered to the strength of a Dou Zun."

When the light dissipated, the figures of Protector Jiu and Han Feng had vanished.

But Yao Chen knew their souls had been sealed by the low-tier Heaven-rank Dou Skill, Soul-Slaying Demon-Sealing Strike, and could not escape.

"Soul Hall! I will soon trample your Soul Hall to the ground."

Yao Chen hummed softly, then used a jade bottle to collect the souls of Han Feng and Protector Jiu.
