The old man didn't even have a chance to strike before he was sent to the afterlife with a single finger.
The other Dou King powerhouses who hadn't been chosen felt needles pricking their backs, all of them secretly rejoicing that they hadn't been picked, or else they would be the ones dead now.
Being able to instantly kill a Dou Emperor with such ease meant the newcomer's strength was likely no less than Han Feng's.
At this moment, Han Feng's brows were locked in a tight frown; given his reputation in the Black-Corner Region, even a Dou Zong powerhouse would have to give him a modicum of respect.
Yet, the few people before him didn't seem to hold him in any regard at all.
Especially since they had killed his man in full view of everyone—this was a slap to his face.
"Xiao Yan, call your master out; that fellow is Han Feng," Xiao Ze said.
Although he didn't know how his third brother knew about his old master, Xiao Yan didn't have time to overthink it and immediately released Yao Lao.
Seeing that familiar figure, Han Feng's eyes were filled with shock.
"You aren't dead? How are you still alive!"
"You unfilial beast, thanks to you, this old man is still alive!" Yao Lao stared coldly at the disciple he had once valued the most.
"What a pity, you are merely a soul body now, without a physical form." Seeing Yao Lao's translucent state, Han Feng instantly calmed down.
If it were Yao Lao at his peak, he would only have the option to flee, but at this moment, the opponent was nothing more than a soul body, posing little threat to him.
However, Han Feng sensed something ominous about the others.
They were all Dou Emperor powerhouses, and he couldn't even fathom the depth of the young man leading them.
"You traitorous, unfilial beast!" Yao Lao was so angry that his soul body trembled slightly.
Back then, he had trusted his disciple so completely, only to be wounded most deeply by that very person.
They say enemies see red when they meet; at this moment, Yao Lao wished he could swallow him whole.
Ignoring his teacher's impotent rage, Han Feng turned his gaze toward the crowd below and signaled with his eyes.
Immediately, several figures flew into the sky in unison, standing in a standoff against the opposing group.
Among them were Yuan Yi, Sect Leader of the Eight-Fan Gate; Wu Tie, Leader of the Mad Lion Gang; Su Mei, Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect; and the Gold and Silver Elders...
"Where is Fan Lao, Sect Leader of the Blood Sect?" Han Feng suddenly frowned; Fan Lao was not among the crowd.
"That dead ghost probably went off to have some fun somewhere," Su Mei said with a charming smile.
"Forget it, there's no time to look for him now." Han Feng stopped worrying about him; in any case, there were enough people here—one more or one less made no difference.
After all, he had five Dou Emperor powerhouses by his side: Yuan Yi was a two-star Dou Emperor, Su Mei was a three-star Dou Emperor, Wu Tie was a top-ten powerhouse on the Black List with four-star Dou Emperor strength, and the Gold and Silver Elders were ranked second on the Black List, possessing peak Dou Emperor cultivation and the ability to fight a Dou Zong when working together.
There had been no shortage of people in this Black-Corner Region who dared to target him, but without exception, he had sent them all to the afterlife.
Today would be no different; after all, when it came to influence, he considered himself unrivaled in the entire Black-Corner Region.
Therefore, he didn't pay much heed to the intruders.
But if the intruder was his former teacher, he wouldn't mind presenting him with a grand gift.
Looking at Yao Lao's gloomy face, Han Feng revealed a sinister smile. "Teacher, it was my fault for letting you escape last time. Rest assured, this time, your disciple will be sure to treat you well."
"You beast!" Yao Lao was trembling with fury.
"Teacher," Xiao Yan said, trying to comfort him.
"Third Brother, the opponent has summoned so many powerhouses; can we really handle this?"
With only the cultivation of a Dou Grandmaster, the gap between him and a Dou Emperor was as vast as heaven and earth, and every one of the opponents possessed strength no less than Fan Lao's, if not greater.
"Fourth Brother, just watch and see how your third brother beats the crap out of them," Xiao Ze said with a faint smile.
To him, the more people who showed up, the better, so he wouldn't have to go looking for them one by one.
Soon, accompanied by a ripple in space, a black figure tore through the void and emerged.
The newcomer was a Protector from the Soul Hall, though not Protector Wu—who had already been eliminated by Xiao Ze at the Misty Cloud Sect—but another Protector of the same Dou Zong level.
His appearance immediately caused everyone present to hold their breath; the pressure he exerted was simply too overwhelming.
Even the likes of Yuan Yi and the other Dou Emperor powerhouses had to shrink back in the face of such an aura.
"Han Feng, you must know that this Protector is busy with a thousand tasks; do not disturb me easily unless it is a matter of great importance. You know the consequences." The Soul Hall Protector's voice was extremely cold, devoid of any emotion.
Han Feng immediately put away his arrogant demeanor and said respectfully, "Protector, how would I dare? Please, look at what I have found for you."
The Soul Hall Protector gave a soft "Oh," then turned his gaze toward the direction Han Feng was pointing, where a soul body hovered.
"Yao Chen?" the Soul Hall Protector blurted out, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
"Hehehe, what a stroke of luck!"
"Yao Chen, this Protector was punished by the Hall Master more than once for letting you escape back then. Today, no matter what, I will capture you and take you back!"
With that, the Soul Hall Protector spread his hands. Suddenly, black chains vibrated along with his arms, instantly tearing through the sky and turning into a black streak as they lashed out violently toward Yao Chen.
Xiao Yan felt his very soul trembling.
"A mere Protector dares to touch my people!" Xiao Ze let out a cold shout.
He pointed a finger, instantly repelling the incoming attack.
With his first strike yielding no results, the Soul Hall protector finally turned his attention to the person beside Yao Chen.
He did not know what to expect, but what he saw gave him a jolt of shock.
"A Dou Zong powerhouse!"
In the tiny Black-Corner Region, he had actually run into a Dou Zong powerhouse, and one so young at that.
The situation had suddenly become quite thorny.
Although he possessed the cultivation of a six-star Dou Zong, he feared that he alone would be unable to capture Yao Chen.
Seeing this, he could not help but cast his gaze toward Han Feng. "Han Feng, there is a Dou Zong powerhouse on the other side. This protector will do his best to find a way to deal with them; you all must act quickly to capture Yao Chen!"
Han Feng's heart trembled upon hearing this.
"A Dou Zong powerhouse!"
That young man was actually a Dou Zong powerhouse? An existence that even the Soul Hall protector found troublesome.
No wonder they were so fearless; it turned out they had a Dou Zong powerhouse to rely on.
Fortunately, he had one as well.
"Yuan Yi, Wu Tie, Su Mei, Gold and Silver Elders, follow me and quickly finish off their three Dou Emperors!"
As Han Feng's voice fell, the six Dou Emperors present made a prompt decision, each launching an assault toward the opposing Dou Emperors.
Six against three—the advantage was theirs.
Moreover, their side possessed three peak Dou Emperor powerhouses; he could not see how they could possibly lose.
"Hehehe, three little girls, this Black-Corner Region is not a place you should have come to!"
Wu Tie looked at the three stunning women on the other side, drool instantly spilling onto the ground.
Such beautiful women were rare in this world; if he could capture them and take them back, the thought alone was wonderful...
"Are you all alright?" Xiao Ze cast his gaze toward his three wives.
"Rest assured, they are merely six Dou Emperor powerhouses; they aren't even enough to whet our appetites." Qing Lin smiled upon seeing this.
Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun also charged toward the enemy without hesitation.
However, unlike Qing Lin and Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian did not manifest her Dou Qi wings.
Instead, she walked through the air.
