Dou Zong Ice Sculpture Guards the Gate, an Unexpected Windfall

Seeing that Mo Tianxing had forcibly merged the Black Emperor Profound Python's soul into his own body, transforming into a ferocious half-human, half-snake form, and even lunging straight at the seemingly weakest Fire Wolf Spirit, Xiao Yan's eyes showed no fear whatsoever, but rather a cold mockery.

"Fool, you're asking for death!"

A cold glint appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. His hand seals suddenly changed, and his soul power and Dou Qi surged out like an invisible tide, precisely controlling the three-headed Fire Spirit.

The next moment, a ring of flames with mysterious runes formed around the three-headed Fire Spirit. As the ring rotated, the energy fluctuations within the formation became increasingly violent.

The blood-red wolf spirit, seemingly chosen as the breakthrough point, showed no intention of backing down when facing Mo Tianxing. Instead, it let out a deafening roar.

The wolf's mouth opened wide, not to spew flames, but to suddenly unleash an extremely strange and powerful, intimidating pressure targeting the Soul Origin!

This oppressive force was invisible and intangible, yet it was like the roar of ten thousand beasts, instantly striking the Black Emperor Profound Python Beast Soul that had just been fused into Mo Tianxing's body and was not yet stable!

"Ughhhhh!!!"

A shrill, inhuman scream, filled with fear and pain, burst forth from Mo Tianxing's mouth!

His face, covered in black scales, twisted grotesquely in an instant. The cold, murderous gaze in his bright yellow vertical pupils was now filled with pain and confusion, overwhelmed by the tearing pain in his mind caused by the severe damage to the souls of the man and the snake that had temporarily merged.

The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire has an absolute suppressive effect on the bloodline and soul of ordinary magical beasts.

Especially when Mo Tianxing the initiative to approach, the effect of his pressure was incredibly powerful at such close range.

For this reason, Mo Tianxing's momentum came to an abrupt halt, and he was frozen in mid-air as if he had been hit hard by an invisible giant hammer.

The powerful, earthy-yellow Dou Qi surging around his body flickered violently, like a candle burning in the wind.

The beast soul that had merged into his body was being suppressed by the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. The fear and excruciating pain originating from the depths of his soul caused his whole body to spasm and convulse, making it extremely difficult to even maintain the execution of his Dou Technique.

The dark golden horn on his forehead dimmed, and even showed faint cracks.

"Father!!!"

Below, Mo Ya, who was imprisoned by Xiao Yi Xian's Dou Qi and lay limp on the ground like a dead dog, had eyes wide open and let out a desperate cry.

He watched as his all-powerful Dou Zong father charged in with overwhelming force, only to be so easily suppressed by the white-robed youth. His heart was filled with regret and fear.

Once Mo Tianxing dies, he will inevitably be finished!

Xiao Yan was there to kill, so he wouldn't waste words with Mo Tianxing or Mo Ya. With a thought, the Fire Leopard formed from the Fallen Heart Flame spewed out invisible flames, turning into a pillar of fire that slammed into the stiff Mo Tianxing!

"Puff!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, but the invisible flames, as if illusory, ignored Mo Tianxing's Dou Qi defenses and directly entered his body!

"Ugh!!!"

A scream even more agonizing than before echoed through the sky!

The Fallen Heart Flame, igniting their own Heart Fire, burn their internal organs and scorch their soul!

Mo Tianxing, who was already suffering from the suppression of the beast soul within his body, now felt an invisible and colorless terrifying Heart Fire, powerful enough to extinguish everything, burning simultaneously in his internal organs and the depths of his soul!

The flames erupted from within, gradually burning away his remaining Dou Qi, will to resist, and even the last vestige of life within him, reducing them to nothingness!

Mo Tianxing's body trembled violently, large patches of his black scales charred and peeled off, revealing an eerie crimson skin, as if magma was flowing beneath it.

The Dou Zong aura emanating from him deflated like a punctured balloon, plummeting wildly...

Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Yan changed his hand seals again. The pale white Fire Lion roared to the sky, spewing out flames that were a mixture of hot and cold, which immediately enveloped Mo Tianxing before suddenly contracting!

"Laugh!"

Extreme cold and extreme heat acted simultaneously on Mo Tianxing's body, while his soul was directly torn out and devoured by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Immediately afterwards, the crimson color on Mo Tianxing's body caused by the burning Heart Fire was instantly covered by a layer of pure white, a thin but indestructible layer of ice, as if freezing the raging Heart Fire within him, the remnants of the beast soul being devoured, and his face contorted with pain!

He transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture, enveloped in eerie white flames, suspended in mid-air, lifeless. Moments later, the fluctuations in his soul completely dissipated, and three balls of flame emerged from within, flying back into the bodies of the three Fire Spirit.

Hiss--!

The entire Yan City fell into a deathly silence.

The only background noise was the sound of gasps for air, rising and falling like bellows.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a Two-Star Peak Dou Zong expert, renowned throughout the Black Corner Region and whose every stomp could shake the region, was defeated so easily by a youth whose normal strength was only Five-Star Dou Wang, right before everyone's eyes?

The visual impact of this was far greater for those who had the chance to witness Xiao Yan's attack than for the instant kill of the Dou Wang he had just killed!

All the members of the Xiao Sect in the square stood frozen in place, like clay sculptures, their minds blank.

They looked at the ice sculpture in the air, enveloped in a deep white Fire Spirit, and then at the white-robed youth whose aura had gradually returned to the Dou Wang realm, his face slightly pale but his posture still upright, his eyes filled with shock and awe!

Regardless of why the sect leader is only at the Dou Wang realm, as long as his combat power is comparable to that of Dou Zong, then the sect leader is equivalent to Dou Zong!

Moreover, the sect leader just said that he is Sixth-Grade Alchemist!

Isn't this basically an upgraded version of Han Feng?

Following such a powerful figure means their future is incredibly bright!

"The sect leader is invincible!"

Someone, using all their strength, uttered the first hoarse cry.

The next moment, a frenzied roar, like a landslide and a tsunami, swept across the entire square, soared into the sky, and shook the entire Yan City!

"The sect leader is invincible!"

"The Sect Leader is Invincible!!"

"The Sect Leader is invincible!!!"

The cheers rose higher and higher, and countless gazes focused on Xiao Yan, filled with absolute awe and submission.

After this battle, Xiao Yan's prestige within the Xiao Sect was instantly elevated to an unshakeable level!

He not only proved with his strength that he deserved this position, but also used this battle to forge an awe-inspiring reputation for the Xiao Sect in the Black Corner Region!

They can even kill a Dou Zong expert; who would dare to provoke the Xiao Sect again?

Xiao Yi Xian stood quietly in place, the corners of her lips under the black veil slightly upturned, outlining a proud yet gentle curve.

Looking at the figure in the sky that would forever shine brightly in her eyes, her eyes were filled with satisfaction.

Xiao Yan is now a true powerhouse, and her hard work over the past year has not been in vain.

She knew Xiao Yan wouldn't let her down!

With a casual flick of her wrist, she triggered the poison within Mo Ya's body, turning him into a pool of blood. Then she watched as Xiao Yan fell from the sky, followed closely by Mo Tianxing, who was frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Elder Qu, place this item in the center of the plaza outside the main gate. From now on, anyone who wants to break the rules of the Xiao Sect had better consider whether they have the strength to do so!"

Xiao Yan tossed Mo Tianxing's ice sculpture to Qu Ling and said calmly.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Ling quickly used his Dou Qi to lift the ice sculpture and headed out of the Xiao Sect.

"Xiao Yi Xian, arrange some manpower. We're going to the Black Emperor Sect to collect the spoils of war."

Xiao Yan didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Yi Xian and spoke directly.

"Good."

A faint smile flashed in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. She quickly mustered her forces and, under the watchful eyes of countless people in Yan City, left Yan City in a grand procession, heading straight for the Black Emperor Sect's headquarters— Black Emperor City.

Black Emperor City wasn't too far from Yan City, at least in terms of the speed of Dou Zong. However, since Xiao Yan's group included several Dou Ling level deacons, it still took them an hour to arrive.

When Xiao Yan and his group arrived, everything seemed fine in Black Emperor City, but Xiao Yan could sense that several powerful auras were already darting around in the depths of the Black Emperor City, creating a somewhat chaotic atmosphere.

Clearly, the news of the deaths of Sect Master Mo Tianxing and Young Sect Leader Mo Ya due to the shattered soul tablets was no longer a secret to the higher-ups of the Black Emperor Sect!

"Hmm, it seems I'll have to put in some more effort."

Xiao Yan in mid-air before the city gate, his white robes fluttering in the wind. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the city walls, echoing in the ears of every Black Emperor Sect disciple.

"Mo Tianxing and his son from the Black Emperor Sect provoked my Xiao Sect in Yan City and have been executed by me!"

The sound was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone in the Black Emperor City, immediately causing a commotion.

"Now, I'll give you two choices." Xiao Yan's voice was icy, brimming with unwavering resolve. "First, open the city gates, surrender, and hand over all the sect's resources. Those who surrender will live. Second, resist to the bitter end, and I will breach the city immediately and slaughter the Black Emperor Sect!"

Before the words were finished, several powerful auras suddenly erupted from the depths of Black Emperor City. They were clearly experts from the Black Emperor Sect, including not only Dou Wang (Battle King) but also Dou Emperor) level experts.

Before one of them even showed himself, he roared, "Arrogant! He killed my sect leader and Young Sect Leader, and now he wants to seize my Black Emperor Sect's foundation? Activate the Sect Protecting Array! Fight him to the death!"

Buzz!

A massive black light screen instantly rose from around the Black Emperor City, with runes flowing across it and faint phantom images of giant pythons coiled around it, radiating powerful defensive energy.

This is the Black Emperor Sect's last resort, enough to withstand the full force of Peak Dou Emperor expert. Even Dou Zong expert would need to put in some effort!

However, Xiao Yan had anticipated this. The moment the grand formation was activated, he had already detected several weaker formation maintenance points. For such a grand formation to cover the entire city, it meant that many smaller formations scattered throughout the city's key locations needed to be connected and charged. Once these smaller formations were eliminated, the strength of the grand formation would decrease. Furthermore, as the strength decreased, the grand formation would develop flaws due to its unstable execution. With Xiao Yan's abilities, he could naturally pinpoint these flaws and break the formation.

With a flick of his hand, Xiao Yan unleashed the Fallen Heart Flame, releasing a strange wave that instantly swept across the entire city.

The next moment, countless screams rang out throughout the city, and the formation began to flicker.

Then, Xiao Yan rushed out and used his Mountain Opening Seal to blast a hole in the great formation, then slipped inside.

Behind him, Xiao Yi Xian also tacitly called to the group, and they passed through the great formation and entered the Black Emperor City, heading straight for the Black Emperor Sect's headquarters in the deepest part.

Upon discovering that Xiao Yan and his group had broken through the formation and stormed in so easily, the Black Emperor Sect's experts also came out in full force. Even without Dou Zong expert, they were not afraid of Xiao Yan, a Dou Wang. As for Xiao Yan's earlier claim of killing Dou Zong, they naturally could not believe it.

After all, how could Dou Wang possibly kill Dou Zong?

Impossible!

It's definitely fake!

However, this erroneous judgment began to be reversed after they fought against Xiao Yan.

First, an unknown Dou Wang Xiao Yan was punched so hard that his arm was shattered and he was smashed into the ground, his fate unknown. Then, a Three-Star Dou Emperor was struck by Xiao Yan's Dou Qi- Splitting Mountain Opening Seal, a technique using the Flame Fist, causing him to cough up blood and retreat. Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan activated the highest combination of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, his strength skyrocketing to Nine-Star Dou Emperor. He directly injured and defeated the remaining two Dou Emperors, who dared not fight any longer and had no choice but to surrender.

After all, if they continued fighting, they would really die.

Looking back, Xiao Yi Xian had already knocked all the remaining Dou Wang expert to the ground.

With her Woe Poison Body abilities, coupled with her Dou Zong- level experience and combat skills, dealing with these Dou Wang elders would be too easy for her.

Therefore, the members of the Black Emperor Sect surrendered on the spot.

Xiao Yan ignored them and summoned the unlucky Dou Emperor who had been punched and coughed up blood earlier, asking him to lead the way to the Black Emperor Sect's treasury.

Upon entering the Black Emperor Sect's treasury, Xiao Yan was somewhat shocked.

It can only be said that, as a long-established power in the Black Corner Region, the treasure trove within their sect is incredibly rich, displaying a dazzling array of high-level pills and Dou Technique of the Mystic Tier and above.

There were also many rare medicinal herbs, which even Xiao Yan coveted, and he packed them all into his Storage Ring.

What pleased Xiao Yan the most were the three bottles of essence blood from Sixth-Rank Magical Beast, which greatly aided in the growth of his Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.

Xiao Yan also acquired some rare ores and other materials.

"Huh? What's this?"

Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Yan had already arrived deep within the treasure vault. He paused for a moment, then quickly walked over.

Before him was a display shelf filled with scrolls, but Xiao Yan's gaze was fixed on the silver scroll in the very center, because without even needing to examine it, he could clearly hear the sounds of wind and thunder emanating from it.

No way?

Could it be that...?

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat. He walked over, picked it up, and saw four ancient, gleaming silver characters on it:

"Three Thousand Lightning Movement!"
