Xiao Chen vs. Hun Miesheng
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Almost the instant Xiao Chen made his move, both the Heavenly Mansion Alliance and the Soul Hall on the Fallen Peak, except for Hun Miesheng, all fled.
At their level, they naturally wouldn't announce "I'm about to make my move" before starting a battle.
After all, this is a life-or-death battle, not child's play!
"Boom"
The great war broke out without any warning.
Facing the Hun Clan, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't hold back in the slightest.
"Sizzle!"
Sure enough, with a swing of his Blood Axe, a streak of blood light shot straight towards Hun Miesheng!
Both are at the Mid-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, so this battle is bound to be exceptionally fierce; that much is foreseeable.
In the Original Work, Xiao Chen, at the Mid-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, fought to a draw against the Late Five-Star Dou Sheng, Soul Demon Elder, while Xiao Yan, at the Early-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, narrowly defeated Hun Miesheng, at the Mid-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng.
However, Xiao Yan's combat strength cannot be judged by common sense.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if Xiao Yan were to face the Soul Demon Elder, he would still emerge victorious!
Although the Soul Demon Elder is a minor realm higher than Hun Miesheng, he is actually inferior to Hun Miesheng in both combat strength and overall resources.
At the very least, Hun Miesheng possesses the Child Flame of Nihility Devouring Flame, a quality that the Soul Demon Elder cannot match.
In other words, Hun Miesheng, who Mid-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, may actually be stronger than Soul Demon Elder, who is at the Late Five-Star Dou Sheng!
"Bang bang bang"
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen and Hun Miesheng had already exchanged dozens of blows.
The people around were also dazzled by the sight.
"Go, Ancestor!"
Xiao Yan, who was watching the battle, had confidence in his ancestor, but the strength displayed by Hun Miesheng was not to be underestimated. It was perfectly normal for him to be worried about this.
As for the powerful figures from all sides, as well as some old monsters like the Grand Elders of sects, they were watching the battle with great interest, occasionally offering a comment or two.
"That Xiao Chen, isn't he a figure from the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago?"
"That's right, it's recorded in my sect's records that Blood Axe Xiao Chen was a genius of the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago. I never expected he'd still be alive!"
"It's a pity that Xiao Chen, although he's still alive today, seems to have been delayed, resulting in his Hun Miesheng's."
"Who do you think will win this battle?"
"Xiao Chen, although their cultivation levels are similar, he was at least a genius from a thousand years ago!"
"That's not necessarily true. The name 'Hun Miesheng' was earned by fighting his way up in Central Plains. Haven't you heard the saying 'the new generation surpasses the old'?"
Why should we care who wins or loses? We'll just enjoy the show!
"Absolutely! Absolutely!"
Amidst the discussions, Xiao Chen and Hun Miesheng exchanged dozens more blows.
However, as most people expected, the two were at roughly the same level, so it was unlikely that a winner would be decided so quickly.
"Clang!"
Once again, Xiao Chen's Blood Axe clashed with Hun Miesheng's dagger-like spirit blade.
"Boom"
Instantly, terrifying fluctuations of Dou Qi swept in all directions.
This wasn't the umpteenth time the two had clashed like this.
Each time the two collide like this, a small mountain peak around them is leveled...
As for their fighting styles, Hun Miesheng mainly relied on "deception," while Xiao Chen's style was much simpler; he only needed to keep swinging the Blood Axe in his hand.
Xiao Chen walks the path of overcoming all laws with sheer force!
However, after the initial probing, the two are about to get serious!
"Ghost Dance Hand!"
Suddenly, Hun Miesheng changed his tactics.
His palm prints shifted rapidly, and in the next second, black mist surged in front of him. Then, a huge, dark blue ghost hand suddenly emerged from the black mist, its target Xiao Chen!
However, Xiao Chen still used the same method to deal with Hun Miesheng's changing tactics.
That's "splitting"!
"Three Heaven Breaking Axes!"
"Swish"
A flash of crimson light appeared, and the enormous, dark blue ghost hand broke apart inch by inch, turning into black mist and dissipating into the air.
However, Xiao Chen's attack was called the Three Heaven Breaking Axes, so how could it only have such an effect?
His first axe strike, while shattering the Dou Technique unleashed by Hun Miesheng, still had enough power to fly towards his opponent!
That wisp of blood-red light, falling into Hun Miesheng's eyes, seemed to cleave the heavens in two!
Seeing this, Hun Miesheng naturally dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Star Soul Slash!"
"Sizzle!"
At this moment, Hun Miesheng also gripped the spirit knife, which resembled a dagger, in his right hand and lightly slashed it in front of him.
Instantly, a streak of dark purple light shot out.
"Boom"
In the end, Hun Miesheng's Star Soul Slash tore apart the first wisp of blood light.
Yes, this was only the first wisp of bloody light from Xiao Chen's Three Heaven Breaking Axes!
Needless to say, the second beam of blood easily shattered the greatly weakened Star Soul Slash.
Now, Hun Miesheng's expression also turned ugly.
In this life, due to various unforeseen circumstances, the two were unable to fight each other in the Demonic Flame Space.
Furthermore, in the Original Work, Xiao Chen was able to suppress Hun Miesheng in the Demonic Flame Space because the latter was only at the Early-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng at that time, and also did not have the Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame.
As for the current situation, it seems Xiao Chen has the upper hand...
Sensing the two even more terrifying beams of blood-red light approaching him, Hun Miesheng knew that he could no longer be so arrogant and hold back his strength.
This battle concerns the very existence of the Soul Hall; they cannot afford to lose!
"Whoa~"
Just then, a wisp of black light suddenly appeared in front of Hun Miesheng!
Immediately afterwards, the temperature in the surrounding area began to rise significantly.
"Has Hun Miesheng already begun to use the power of Lord Void? It seems that Xiao Chen is putting a lot of pressure on him! However, now that Hun Miesheng has used the power of Lord Void, this battle should be decided!"
Hun Qianmo also offered his comments at this moment.
However, it is clear that Hun Qianmo is filled with jealousy about Hun Miesheng obtaining the Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame!
Under the control of Hun Miesheng, the Soul Hall, despite its intelligence system being criticized by the Hun Clan's Leadership over the past thousand years, has indeed collected a large number of souls for the Nihility Devouring Flame.
Therefore, this Child Flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame can be considered a reward from the Nihility Devouring Flame to him.
"So that's the Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame? I never imagined that even a mere Child Flame could be so terrifying..."
The instant Hun Miesheng pulled out the Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame, Xiao Yan's Purifying Lotus Demon Flame also reacted instantly.
However, since this battle was ultimately the stage of his own ancestors, Xiao Yan did not intend to summon Xiao Yi directly.
The instant Xiao Yan finished speaking, Hun Miesheng his hand, Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame formed a pitch-black vortex of flames in front of him, from which wisps of devouring power emanated...
