Yun Shan's Final Curtain!

At the sight before them, everyone present wore an exceptionally grim expression.

The Misty Cloud Sect's former sect master, Yun Shan, had fallen into demonic madness!

The vast plaza was eerily quiet. Everyone watched the scene in silence, and the Misty Cloud Sect disciples were utterly dumbstruck by Yun Shan's actions.

Doubt took root in their hearts. Was this really their sect master?

Watching her master behave this way, Yun Yun trembled. Was this really the master she had once admired and taken pride in?

But it didn't end there. Yun Shan apparently didn't think he'd done enough, and set his sights on several other sect elders.

Before a Dou Zong expert, they couldn't even put up a fight before Yun Shan devoured their souls.

It was plain to see that Yun Shan's aura was growing stronger at an astonishing rate.

"Little friend Xiao Ze, things are looking a bit thorny." After watching the entire situation unfold, Hai Bodong could only see how incredibly complicated it had become.

Xiao Ze frowned. He hadn't expected Yun Shan to resort to such methods just to survive.

How was that any different from a demonic cultivator?

Perhaps Yun Shan had never considered himself part of the Misty Cloud Sect. Yun Yun had nearly turned against Xiao Ze for his sake, and this was what she got in return.

Now it was clear: Yun Shan deserved to die!

So Xiao Ze took the initiative to attack. He pointed a finger, and countless giant fingers appeared in the sky.

Each one held terrifying power, determined to kill Yun Shan on the spot.

But after nourishing himself with dozens of souls, Yun Shan had already been reborn. His strength had reached the terrifying level of an Eight-Star Dou Zong!

Faced with the attack, he advanced instead of retreating and roared, "Great Sorrow Rending Hand!"

At Yun Shan's command, dazzling light suddenly burst from his palm. A gigantic energy hand, several zhang across, strangely appeared out of thin air. Wrapped in a fierce gale, it rushed forward and slammed down at the giant fingers.

Boom!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two terrifying Dou Techniques collided with a crash.

In an instant, the piercing energy shock rang out like rolling thunder, leaving everyone present temporarily deafened.

Xiao Ze's attack shattered beneath his Great Sorrow Rending Hand.

That was the difference an Eight-Star Dou Zong made.

A savage grin spread across Yun Shan's face. "Hahaha! Brat, you're no match for me anymore!"

"This sect master gave you a chance before. Now I'll use your blood to pay tribute to the elders of my Misty Cloud Sect who died!"

The sudden surge in his strength had completely changed Yun Shan's demeanor.

The price had been several Misty Cloud Sect elders, but as long as he survived, the sect could rise again.

The elders would forgive him.

"Yun Shan, don't celebrate too soon. You're only an Eight-Star Dou Zong. I, Xiao Ze, can still wipe you out!" Xiao Ze's expression remained unruffled.

He had been fully prepared when he dared to set foot in the Misty Cloud Sect today. Even with his opponent now an Eight-Star Dou Zong, he still had the confidence to win.

"Arrogant!" Yun Shan roared.

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll be merciful and grant your wish!"

Yun Shan gave Xiao Ze a sinister smile and shook his sleeve.

A long blue sword, condensed from Dou Qi, appeared in his hand.

Thoughts raced through Yun Shan's mind. A blade-sharp glint flashed in his eyes as his hands rapidly formed seals. Then a furious shout, laden with bone-chilling killing intent, shot into the heavens.

"Wind Brake Annihilation Gang!"

As soon as his shout rang out, a piercing sword cry suddenly sounded across the sky.

The crowd looked up in shock. The long sword condensed from Dou Qi above Yun Shan's head was spinning wildly, and the shrill noise came from it.

This strike had actually reached the level of a Peak Dou Zong!

Across from him, Hai Bodong and the others went pale.

Though they weren't the targets, they could still feel the terrifying energy contained within the attack. They had no doubt that anyone struck by it would die.

Yun Yun felt it too. Her red lips pressed together, her beautiful, dignified face gone faintly pale.

Could Xiao Ze withstand it?

Under the gaze of countless onlookers,

Xiao Ze stepped forward and raised his hands to form a seal. Then an energy filled with just as much murderous force shot into the sky.

"Great Heaven Creation Palm!"

With a low shout, a black hole the size of a fava bean bloomed in Xiao Ze's hand once more. Terrifying suction surged toward Yun Shan again.

"The same move again." Yun Shan scoffed.

If he were only a Two-Star Dou Zong, he'd have no choice but to admit defeat. But now he was an Eight-Star Dou Zong!

A mere black hole thought it could trap him?

"Break!"

At Yun Shan's cold shout, two attacks with the power to destroy the heavens and earth collided.

At that moment, it was as though a nuclear bomb had been dropped over the Misty Cloud Sect.

Time and space seemed to freeze. Even Protector Wu and Queen Medusa stopped their attacks mid-battle.

"Yun Shan was holding back this whole time?" Protector Wu said, sounding slightly surprised.

"Xiao Ze..." Queen Medusa's heart seemed to stop beating.

If that strike had hit her, she'd have been lucky to survive, and even then, it would have left her badly injured.

After a deafening explosion, the Misty Cloud Sect was reduced to ruins, and countless disciples were killed or wounded.

After a brief daze, it seemed everything had finally settled.

Two figures faced each other from a distance.

"Brat, you're even stronger than I imagined." Though Yun Shan was his enemy, he couldn't help admiring him.

To push him this far as a Five-Star Dou Zong—Xiao Ze was the first.

"You're not bad yourself," Xiao Ze replied.

"But what a pity. After using a Heavenly Rank Dou Technique, do you have any Dou Qi left?" Yun Shan couldn't help sneering.

Only now, on his second encounter with the technique, had he realized it was a Heavenly Rank Dou Technique. No wonder it had left him in such a sorry state.

But the higher the rank of a Dou Technique, the more Dou Qi it consumed. That strike should have drained Xiao Ze completely.

"Heh, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you," Xiao Ze said with a soft laugh.

Yun Shan was right. Using a Heavenly Rank Dou Technique should have drained him dry. But how could Yun Shan know that Xiao Ze could ignore the aftereffects of using one?

In other words, if he wanted to, he could keep using it!

That was where his greatest confidence came from.

Even if he were facing a Dou Zun expert today, he could still take them on.

"Old dog Yun Shan, it's time to say goodbye to this world."

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Ze's speed surged. With Three Thousand Lightning Movement boosting him, he was in front of Yun Shan almost in an instant.

"You..." Yun Shan had just started to speak.

But Xiao Ze's next Great Heaven Creation Palm crashed down, striking him square in the body.

In an instant, Yun Shan's life force began to fade at a visible rate. He wanted to resist, but the previous strike had nearly drained him too.

Resist? Not a chance.

"How is this possible!" Yun Shan's eyes widened in disbelief.

No one could use two Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques in a row!

But Xiao Ze had no intention of explaining anything to him.
