The old man hadn't even had a chance to strike before a single finger sent him straight to the afterlife.
The other defeated Dou Wang experts felt a chill crawl up their spines. All of them were glad they hadn't been chosen—otherwise, they'd be the ones dead now.
Someone who could kill a Dou Huang expert with such ease was probably no weaker than Han Feng.
Han Feng's brows furrowed. Given his reputation in the Black-Corner Region, even a Dou Zong expert would have to show him some respect.
But these people in front of him didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
Especially the person who had killed someone in full view of everyone. That was a slap in the face.
"Xiao Yan, call your master out. This guy is Han Feng," Xiao Ze said.
Although Xiao Yan didn't know how his third brother had found out about the old man living inside him, he had no time to think about it. He immediately released Yao Lao.
At the sight of that familiar figure, Han Feng's eyes filled with shock.
"Weren't you dead? How are you still alive?!"
"Ungrateful wretch, thanks to you, this old man is still alive!" Yao Lao fixed his former favorite disciple with a cold stare.
"Too bad you're only a soul, without a body." Seeing Yao Lao's faint, insubstantial form, Han Feng quickly regained his composure.
If Yao Lao had been at the peak of his power, Han Feng would have had no choice but to flee. But now, his opponent was merely a soul, and posed little threat to him.
The others, however, gave Han Feng a bad feeling.
They were all Dou Huang experts, and he couldn't even see through the young man at their head.
"You ungrateful wretch who betrayed your master!" Yao Lao's soul trembled faintly with rage.
Back then, he had trusted his disciple so much. In the end, that same disciple had hurt him most deeply.
They said old enemies turned red-eyed when they met. At that moment, Yao Lao wanted nothing more than to tear Han Feng apart with his bare hands.
Han Feng ignored his master's impotent rage and instead looked toward the crowd below, signaling with his eyes.
At once, several figures shot into the sky and faced their opponents from a distance.
Among them were Yuan Yi, the head of the Eight-Fan Gate; Wu Tie, the leader of the Mad Lion Gang; Su Mei, the head of the Rakshasa Sect; and the Gold and Silver Elders...
"Where's Fan Lao, the Blood Sect's leader?" Han Feng suddenly frowned. Fan Lao was nowhere in the crowd.
"That old deadbeat probably went off somewhere to have fun," Su Mei said with a flirtatious smile.
"Forget it. There's no time to find him now." Han Feng stopped worrying about Fan Lao. They had enough people already; one more or less made no difference.
After all, he had five Dou Huang experts by his side. Yuan Yi was a Two-Star Dou Huang, Su Mei a Three-Star Dou Huang, and Wu Tie was a top-ten Black List expert with the strength of a Four-Star Dou Huang. The Gold and Silver Elders ranked second on the Black List and had the cultivation of Peak Dou Emperors. Working together, they could contend with a Dou Zong.
It wasn't that nobody in the Black-Corner Region dared to target him. It was just that everyone who had tried had ended up sent to the afterlife.
Today would be no different. When it came to rallying people, he believed no one in the entire Black-Corner Region could match him.
That was why he wasn't particularly concerned about these challengers.
But if the one who had come was his former master, he didn't mind presenting him with a generous gift.
Looking at Yao Lao's gloomy expression, Han Feng gave him a sinister smile. "Master, I'm sorry I let you escape last time. This time, don't worry. Your disciple will make sure to give you a proper welcome."
"You wretch!" Yao Lao was so furious he could barely contain himself.
"Master." Xiao Yan hurriedly tried to soothe him.
"Third brother, they've gathered so many powerful experts. Can we really handle them?"
As a Da Dou Shi, Xiao Yan was worlds apart from a Dou Huang expert. Every one of their opponents was at least as strong as Fan Lao, if not stronger.
"Fourth brother, just watch. You'll see how your third brother beats the shit out of them." Xiao Ze smiled faintly.
The more opponents who came, the better. It saved him the trouble of tracking them down one by one.
Soon, space rippled, and a black figure tore through it.
The newcomer was a Soul Hall Protector—but not Protector Wu, who Xiao Ze had already killed at the Misty Cloud Sect. This was another protector, also at the Dou Zong level.
His appearance made everyone present hold their breath. The pressure he gave off was simply too overwhelming.
Even Yuan Yi and the other Dou Huang experts shrank back in the face of his aura.
"Han Feng, you know I'm busy from dawn till dusk. Don't disturb me lightly unless it's something important. You know the consequences." The Soul Hall Protector's voice was icy and utterly devoid of emotion.
Han Feng immediately put away his arrogance and respectfully replied, "Protector, I wouldn't dare. Just look at what I've found for you."
The Soul Hall Protector gave a low hum, then followed Han Feng's pointing finger. There stood a soul.
"Yao Chen?" The Soul Hall Protector blurted out, his eyes alight with delight.
"Heh heh heh! What luck, finding you without even looking!"
"Yao Chen, you escaped me once before, and the Hall Master punished me severely for it. Today, no matter what, I'll take you back!"
As he spoke, the Soul Hall Protector spread his hands. Black chains shuddered into motion with his arms, instantly slicing through the sky like streaks of darkness as they shot toward Yao Chen.
Xiao Yan felt his very soul trembling.
"A mere protector dares lay a hand on my people?" Xiao Ze snapped.
He thrust out a finger, instantly knocking the incoming attack back.
Only after his attack failed did the Soul Hall Protector realize who stood beside Yao Chen.
He hadn't noticed before, but now that he looked, he was stunned.
"A Dou Zong expert!"
In this tiny Black-Corner Region, he had actually run into a Dou Zong expert—and such a young one at that.
The situation had suddenly become rather troublesome.
Though he had the cultivation of a Six-Star Dou Zong, he probably couldn't capture Yao Chen on his own.
He turned to Han Feng. "Han Feng, there's a Dou Zong expert on the other side. I'll do my best to deal with him. Hurry and capture Yao Chen!"
Han Feng's heart jolted.
"A Dou Zong expert!"
That young man was actually a Dou Zong expert? Even the Soul Hall Protector found him troublesome.
No wonder they were so fearless. They had a Dou Zong expert to rely on.
Fortunately, he had one too.
"Yuan Yi, Wu Tie, Su Mei, Gold and Silver Elders, come with me and quickly deal with their three Dou Huang experts!"
At Han Feng's command, all six Dou Huang experts immediately charged at their opponents.
Six against three. We have the advantage.
And our side had three Peak Dou Emperors. He couldn't imagine how they could possibly lose.
"Heh heh heh. You three little girls don't belong in the Black-Corner Region!"
Wu Tie stared at the three stunning women across from him, drool spilling down his chin.
Women that beautiful were rare in this world. Just thinking about taking them back with him made his heart flutter...
"Will you be all right?" Xiao Ze asked, looking at his three dearest wives.
"Don't worry. Six Dou Huang experts aren't enough to whet our appetites," Qing Lin said with a smile.
Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun immediately charged at their opponents as well.
Unlike Qing Lin and Yun Yun, however, Xiao Yi Xian didn't summon her Dou Qi Wings.
Instead, she walked through the air.
