Witnessing the scene before them, everyone present felt their expressions turn exceptionally grim.
The former sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan, had fallen into demonic madness!
The vast plaza was deathly silent as everyone stared at the sight, the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect in particular looking on in utter stupefaction.
Doubt took root in their hearts: was this truly their sect leader?
Watching her master commit such atrocities, Yun Yun's delicate body trembled; was this still the master she had once held in such high esteem?
Yet, the matter did not end there. Perhaps feeling it was not enough, Yun Shan set his sights on several other sect elders.
Before a Dou Zong powerhouse, they could not even muster a resistance before their souls were devoured by Yun Shan.
Visible to the naked eye, Yun Shan's aura was rapidly swelling.
"Young friend Xiao Ze, the situation looks rather tricky." Hai Bodong observed the entire scene, his expression turning incredibly complex.
Xiao Ze frowned; he had not expected that Yun Shan would resort to such methods just to survive.
How was such conduct any different from a demonic cultivator?
Perhaps in his eyes, he had never considered himself a part of the Misty Cloud Sect at all—what a waste of the loyalty Yun Yun had shown him, nearly turning against Xiao Ze for his sake.
Now, it seemed, Yun Shan deserved to die ten thousand times over!
Consequently, Xiao Ze chose to take the initiative, pointing a finger downward, and instantly, countless giant fingers appeared in the sky.
Each one contained terrifying power, determined to execute Yun Shan right here.
However, nourished by dozens of soul bodies, Yun Shan had already been reborn, his strength reaching the terrifying level of an eight-star Dou Zong!
Facing the onslaught, he did not retreat but advanced instead, roaring, "Great Sorrow Rending Hand!"
As Yun Shan's command fell, a blinding light erupted from his palm. A giant energy hand, several zhang wide, appeared out of thin air in a bizarre fashion, whistling forward with fierce winds as it slammed down violently against the giant fingers.
"BOOM!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, the two terrifying battle skills collided with a thunderous crash.
Instantly, the ear-piercing energy fluctuations sounded like rolling thunder, causing everyone present to suffer a momentary bout of deafness.
Xiao Ze's attack crumbled instantly under the power of the Great Sorrow Rending Hand.
The might of an eight-star Dou Zong was evident.
A sinister grin spread across Yun Shan's face. "Hahaha, brat, you are no longer my match!"
"I gave you a chance before, but now, I shall use your blood to pay tribute to the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect who have perished!"
The surge in strength had instantly changed Yun Shan's demeanor.
Although the cost was the lives of several elders, as long as he remained, the Misty Cloud Sect could still be restored.
The elders would surely forgive him.
"Yun Shan, don't celebrate too early. A mere eight-star Dou Zong is something I, Xiao Ze, can still annihilate!" Xiao Ze's expression remained calm.
He had come to the Misty Cloud Sect today fully prepared; even if his opponent had reached the eight-star Dou Zong realm, he still possessed the confidence to win.
"Arrogant!" Yun Shan was incensed.
"Since you are hell-bent on seeking death, then this sect leader shall show mercy and grant your wish!"
Sneering at Xiao Ze, Yun Shan shook his sleeve.
A cyan longsword condensed from Dou Qi appeared in his grasp.
Thoughts flashing through his mind, a cold, blade-like glint sharpened in Yun Shan's eyes as his hands shifted through seals. Immediately following, a sharp cry laden with bone-chilling killing intent pierced the air, soaring to the heavens.
"Wind Brake Annihilation Gang!"
As the cry faded, a shrill, mournful sword hum suddenly echoed across the sky.
The crowd looked up in horror to see the longsword of Dou Qi above Yun Shan's head spinning frantically, the source of that piercing, strange screech.
This strike had actually reached the peak of the Dou Zong realm!
Opposite him, Hai Bodong and the others turned deathly pale.
Although they were not the targets, they could still feel the terrifying energy contained within; they had no doubt that being struck by this would mean certain death.
Yun Yun felt the same, her red lips pressed tightly together, her graceful and moving face drained of color.
Could Xiao Ze withstand this?
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Xiao Ze stepped forward and raised his hands to form seals. Immediately, a surge of energy, equally laden with terrifying killing intent, shot into the sky.
"Great Heaven Creation Palm!"
Accompanied by a low shout, a black hole the size of a bean bloomed in Xiao Ze's hand, and instantly, a terrifying suction force surged toward Yun Shan once more.
"This move again." Yun Shan's face revealed a sneer.
If he were only a two-star Dou Zong, he would have no choice but to admit defeat, but he was now an eight-star Dou Zong!
Did he really think a mere black hole could trap him?
"Break for me!"
With a cold shout from Yun Shan, two attacks of near-apocalyptic power collided with a thunderous roar.
At this moment, it was as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped over the Misty Cloud Sect.
Time and space seemed to freeze; even the fiercely battling Protector Wu and Queen Medusa halted their offensives.
"That fellow Yun Shan actually had an ace up his sleeve," Protector Wu remarked with a hint of surprise.
"Xiao Ze..." Queen Medusa felt as if her heart had stopped beating.
Had she been the one to face that strike, she would have been lucky to survive, even if stripped of a layer of skin.
After a deafening explosion that shook the heavens and the earth, the Misty Cloud Sect was reduced to complete ruins, and countless disciples within the sect were killed or injured instantly.
Following a brief moment of daze, it seemed as though everything had finally settled.
Two figures stood facing each other across the void.
"Kid, you are even more formidable than I imagined." Though they were enemies, it did not hinder Yun Shan's appreciation for him.
To be able to force him to this extent with the strength of a five-star Dou Zong, Xiao Ze was the first.
"You aren't bad yourself," Xiao Ze replied.
"It is a pity, though. Having unleashed a Heaven-tier Dou Skill, do you even have any Dou Qi left?" Yun Shan could not help but sneer.
He had finally realized that this technique was a Heaven-tier Dou Skill; no wonder it had put him in such a wretched state.
However, the higher the grade of the Dou Skill, the more massive the consumption of Dou Qi; that single strike should have been enough to drain him dry.
"Heh, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Xiao Ze chuckled softly.
Yun Shan was right; unleashing a Heaven-tier Dou Skill was enough to drain him, but how could the other party know that he could ignore the side effects of using such techniques?
In other words, as long as he wished, he could keep using it!
And this was his greatest source of confidence.
Even if he were facing a Dou Zun powerhouse today, he could still put up a fight.
"Old dog Yun Shan, it is time to say goodbye to this world."
As the words fell, Xiao Ze's speed surged abruptly, and with the aid of Three Thousand Lightning Movement, he arrived before Yun Shan in an instant.
"You..." Yun Shan began to speak.
However, Xiao Ze's next Great Heaven Creation Palm descended with a roar, striking his body squarely.
In an instant, Yun Shan's life force began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye. He wanted to resist, but the previous exchange had also nearly drained him dry.
Want to resist? Not a chance.
"How is this possible!" Yun Shan's eyes widened, filled with utter disbelief.
No one could unleash two Heaven-tier Dou Skills in one breath!
But Xiao Ze would not offer him any explanation.
