Exotic Flame Burns the Body, Protector Wu's End!

Blood flowed down Yun Shan's face, and those eyes, filled with terror and unwillingness, slowly closed; he was facing a Heaven Tier Dou Technique at his most vulnerable moment.

Even though he was a Dou Zong powerhouse, death was inevitable.

Watching Yun Shan's aura grow weaker and weaker until it finally dissipated into the sky, Xiao Ze nodded in satisfaction.

With Yun Shan dead, it could be considered a reckoning for himself and for the common people of this world.

As for the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect, their faces were already ashen; with their Sect Leader dead, any further resistance would be nothing more than a death struggle.

"Useless! You are all a bunch of useless trash!" Protector Wu had not even been happy for two seconds before Yun Shan was wiped out, leaving him furious.

He had paid a heavy price to help him advance to the Dou Zong realm, and now that he hadn't even recouped the interest, how could he not be enraged?

"Protector Wu, Yun Shan is dead; now it is your turn!" Xiao Ze shifted his gaze, staring fixedly at Protector Wu.

In his past life, it was Protector Wu who had orchestrated everything, leading to his father being taken away.

Therefore, compared to his hatred for Yun Shan, Xiao Ze wished he could tear Protector Wu into ten thousand pieces.

"Hehehe, do you think you have me cornered just because Yun Shan is gone?" Faced with the threat, Protector Wu let out a cold laugh.

After shaking off the pursuit of Queen Medusa, Protector Wu's gaze locked onto Yun Shan's corpse.

If it weren't for Yun Shan's recklessness, he wouldn't have had his position exposed so quickly.

"Since you are already useless, then I shall borrow your soul!"

In the next moment, a black shadow streaked across the sky like lightning, appearing instantly beside Yun Shan, intending to snatch the corpse back.

But how could Protector Wu's motives escape Xiao Ze's sharp eyes? The moment he approached Yun Shan, Xiao Ze slammed his palm down.

"Great Heaven Creation Palm!"

Protector Wu's heart trembled; had he been discovered?

Seeing that there was no way to dodge, Protector Wu hardened his heart and placed Yun Shan's corpse in front of him, hoping to use it to block the blow.

Regardless, Yun Shan had been a Dou Zong powerhouse in life; although he couldn't truly resist, he could stall for a moment, which would be enough to achieve his goal.

"Nine Forest Hundred Soul Devour!"

Protector Wu's hands suddenly shifted, forming a series of strange and complex hand seals.

The two of them, one after the other, launched their attacks toward Yun Shan's corpse.

In an instant, a humming sound echoed out as Yun Shan's body was disintegrated, torn into a rain of blood across the sky.

Protector Wu took this opportunity to extract Yun Shan's soul and swallow it directly, without a moment of hesitation.

Once this was done, his power could be seen visibly surging, mirroring the reaction Yun Shan had shown earlier.

At this moment, the expressions of everyone present turned exceptionally grim.

If Yun Shan could go from a two-star Dou Zong to an eight-star Dou Zong by devouring a few Dou King level souls, then what terrifying level would Protector Wu's strength reach after devouring an eight-star Dou Zong soul?

Nine-star Dou Zong, or perhaps Dou Zun?

"This Protector said that no matter the cost, I will capture you and bring you back to the Soul Hall today!"

"Xiao Ze, surrender now; you are no match for me!" Protector Wu's gaze was icy.

Little did he know, Xiao Ze was not panicked in the slightest; he even felt like laughing.

He retorted, "Protector Wu, don't you feel a bit hot?"

"Stop trying to confuse the issue. Come with this Protector back to the Soul Hall obediently, and perhaps you can avoid physical suffering!" Protector Wu issued his final warning.

But Xiao Ze only looked at him with pity, muttering to himself, "My things aren't so easy to take!"

Finally, as Yun Shan's soul was completely devoured, a formidable aura erupted from within him, breaking through the Dou Zong realm and reaching the Dou Zun realm in the blink of an eye!

Feeling the vast Dou Qi within his body, Protector Wu could not help but let out a gloomy, low chuckle.

"Brat, this Protector has already given you a chance. Since you are so stubborn, don't blame this Protector!"

After a cold laugh, Protector Wu reached out, intending to take him down in one fell swoop.

Yet, just at that moment, a wave of intense heat suddenly surged from within his body, as if his Dou Qi were burning.

"What is going on?" Protector Wu was stunned.

Moreover, this heat was completely beyond his control; even with all his methods, he could not expel it.

"Protector Wu, I told you, my things aren't so easy to take. The taste of an Exotic Flame isn't pleasant, is it?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Ze's mouth.

He knew full well that Yun Shan's soul was a great tonic for those from the Soul Hall.

That was why, before Protector Wu snatched Yun Shan's soul, he had hidden the Green Lotus Core Flame inside it, just waiting for him to swallow it.

"You..." Upon hearing this, Protector Wu felt a chill run through his heart.

"You brat, you are even more devious than I am!"

"The feeling is mutual. Besides, in this Dou Qi Continent, who could be more devious than you people from the Soul Hall?"

Their eyes met, confirming that both were people not to be trifled with.

However, Protector Wu felt like he was about to vomit blood.

Devouring the Exotic Flame, even though he had barely reached the Dou Zun realm by consuming the soul body of Yun Shan, he was still no match for the power of the flame.

As the Green Lotus Core Flame exerted its force, a shrill, miserable scream tore through the heavens and earth, causing everyone present to tremble uncontrollably.

It was too gruesome; they dared not even imagine such a fate befalling themselves.

Finally, with a thunderous "boom," Protector Wu erupted from the inside out in a terrifying explosion, and a rain of blood once again drenched the sky.

He had followed in the footsteps of Yun Shan, a result that came as no surprise.

The scene before them was too shocking, and everyone involuntarily gaped, never having expected that Protector Wu, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, would be counter-killed in such a manner.

It was not just them; the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect were equally stunned. They had originally hoped that Protector Wu would be able to kill Xiao Ze and avenge their Sect Leader, but now, all those hopes had vanished into thin air.

The Misty Cloud Sect could be considered finished.

Watching Xiao Ze as he stood proudly above the crowd in the sky, the hearts of Hai Bodong, Ya Fei, and the others finally settled.

The constant twists and turns had kept their hearts tense as the enemies grew stronger, but fortunately, everything had ended without further danger.

Xiao Ze's strength had far exceeded their expectations.

In the plaza, Nalan Yanran looked at the nearly ruined Misty Cloud Sect, a sharp pain piercing her heart.

After this battle, the Misty Cloud Sect was completely destroyed, and she would become a sinner of the sect.

As the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun naturally fared no better.

With her master killed and more than half of the sect's disciples lost, she, as the Sect Leader, could not shirk her responsibility.

Above the Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Ze and the others hovered in mid-air, quietly observing the scene before them.

"I thought this Protector Wu was something special, but I didn't expect him to be taken out in one move," Xiao Zi said, crossing his arms with a look of disdain.

And that good-for-nothing Yun Shan, actually thinking of sacrificing his own sect members to strengthen himself—he deserved to die.

Hai Bodong was also filled with deep emotion, never imagining that the grand Misty Cloud Sect would be destroyed just like this.

And destroyed by the hands of the younger generation, no less.

From this day on, the power brokers of the Jia Ma Empire had truly changed.

Gazing at the figure of Xiao Ze, the expressions of the crowd were varied and complex.
