The Palm's Annihilation!

"Everything is ready. All we need is the east wind."

After delivering the other half of the Cloud Empire poison master's corpse, along with a letter, to the entrance of the Cloud Empire's military camp, Xiao Lin immediately began the next step of his plan.

This next step was the key to whether Xiao Lin could make the two tigers fight and avoid exposing himself!

The Cloud Empire's commanding general was also a Dou Wang.

Although he was only a Five-Star Battle King and slightly weaker than Mo Ya, he had another identity: he was a poison master!

Naturally, as a poison master, the Dou Qi attribute he used would definitely be poisonous.

Those with poison-attributed Dou Qi could fight above their level as long as they were not countered.

As for Mo Ya, six years ago, he had only been a Six-Star Battle King. But a year ago, after he began cooperating with the Cloud Empire

As an initial investment, the Cloud Empire generously gave him a fifth-tier medicinal pill, the Battle Spirit Pill, allowing Mo Ya to break through to the realm of Seven-Star Battle King.

Although Mo Ya was a notch stronger than the Cloud Empire's commanding general, if the two truly fought as Xiao Lin intended—

Even though the Cloud Empire's commanding general was only a Five-Star Battle King, the troublesome nature of his Poison Dou Qi was enough to contend with Mo Ya.

So if the two fought, Xiao Lin believed they would perish together.

Of course, whether he could achieve the result he envisioned depended on Xiao Lin's next moves.

After completing the preliminary preparations, Xiao Lin immediately set off toward the Black Rock Mountains.

At this moment, the benefits of Xiao Lin acting separately from Mu Chen and the others became apparent.

Or rather, Xiao Lin had accounted for this step from the very beginning of the plan.

Because Xiao Lin did not want anyone else to witness what he was about to do!

And because Xiao Lin had previously instructed the Da Dou Shi led by Mu Chen to travel slowly, they were still on their way to the Black Rock Mountains.

As for Xiao Lin, relying on his Dou Emperor cultivation, he not only arrived near the Black Rock Mountains ahead of them, but also secretly infiltrated the area.

"So this is the Black Rock Mountains? It really is the perfect place for murder, robbery, and framing others!"

Looking at the black-glinting rocks all around him, the withered trees on the cliff walls, and the poisonous snakes and insects that occasionally crawled nearby, Xiao Lin finally understood how this place had gotten its name.

This place looked like nothing but bad luck!

Didn't crows and vultures circle overhead from time to time? The roads on both sides of the mountain paths were littered with countless animal and human bones.

Honestly, unless it was necessary, even Xiao Lin did not want to stay here for long.

But there was no helping it. The plan still had to be carried out here.

"Then let me see where that elite squad from the Cloud Empire is hiding."

As Xiao Lin released his soul power, he slowly made his way deeper into the Black Rock Mountains.

As for Nalan Jie and the others, they had naturally been trapped in the deepest part of the Black Rock Mountains.

As Xiao Lin ventured deeper into the Black Rock Mountains, he began to find traces of human activity in what had originally been a desolate, uninhabited region.

Clearly, if he went any farther, he would definitely see people!

At this, Xiao Lin's eyes flickered. Without any intention of hiding, he strode straight inside.

Of course, to ensure the feasibility of his plan, Xiao Lin had changed his outfit.

Dressed in black night clothes, with black cloth covering his face and a longsword in hand, he looked nothing like a good person...

Well, that was the impression Xiao Lin made on the Cloud Empire's people stationed here.

"Is he one of ours?"

A Da Dou Shi could not help asking the companion beside him.

"Idiot, how could he be?"

Someone answered.

"Then what do we do?"

Someone else asked again.

"Ask the leader. We've already trapped Jia Ma Empire's squad for over a month. Their reinforcements should be arriving soon, so it's better to let the leader decide."

Everyone agreed with those words.

Very quickly, the leader of this elite squad, which also consisted of several hundred people from the Cloud Empire, arrived.

He was also an Eight-Star Dou Spirit expert!

Behind him followed roughly ten Dou Spirits.

This force was actually stronger than the squad led by Nalan Jie.

No wonder Nalan Jie's squad had been surrounded in the depths of the Black Rock Mountains.

The Cloud Empire's Eight-Star Dou Spirit leader spotted Xiao Lin the moment he arrived.

After all, Xiao Lin had walked right in so openly that it was impossible for them not to notice him.

"Whether he's one of ours or not, surround him first!"

After only a brief moment of thought, the Cloud Empire's Eight-Star Dou Spirit leader gave the order.

In his view, whether this black-clad figure was one of them or not, controlling him first could not be wrong.

As for whether they could defeat him, honestly, he had never doubted it.

With their lineup, even a low-star Dou Wang might not be able to do anything to them!

He did not believe that some random Dou Wang would come to a godforsaken place like the Black Rock Mountains.

Following the Eight-Star Dou Spirit leader's command, figures flashed all around. In no time, Xiao Lin was surrounded on all sides.

"Oh? I thought you were going to keep hiding like rats and never come out."

Surrounded by over a hundred people, all at least Da Dou Shi, Xiao Lin showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he could not help mocking them.

At the same time, the Cloud Empire's people confirmed that he was an enemy, not an ally!

Since that was the case, what else was there to say?

Their purpose in lying in ambush here was to wipe out Nalan Jie's squad deep in the Black Rock Mountains, as well as Mu Chen and the others who would come to reinforce them!

Therefore, word of this absolutely could not leak out!

Even if others happened to pass through this place, they followed the principle of killing by mistake rather than letting anyone go.

"Hmph. I don't care who you are. The moment you stepped into the Black Rock Mountains, you became a dead man!"

As the Cloud Empire's Eight-Star Dou Spirit leader finished speaking, everyone around him prepared to attack.

"Is that so? I'll be waiting."

Xiao Lin still looked utterly unconcerned.

At the same time, the Cloud Empire's people rushed at him together.

"Poison Lotus!"

"Myriad Poison Palm!"

"Water Cloud Break!"

"Blazing Heart-Piercing Fist!"

"Thousand-Fold Wave!"

All kinds of Dou Techniques came crashing down on Xiao Lin at once.

Rumble!

A tremendous roar erupted, and billowing smoke swept through the area.

However, before the Cloud Empire's people could show even a trace of delight, the smoke and dust dispersed, revealing Xiao Lin standing before them, his body gleaming with starlight. Even his clothes were without the slightest wrinkle.

The principle of having smoke but taking no damage was displayed perfectly at that moment.

Upon seeing this, the Cloud Empire's Eight-Star Dou Spirit leader's pupils contracted slightly.

He knew that he had truly kicked an iron plate this time.

To withstand the attacks of over a hundred Da Dou Shi, including more than ten Dou Spirits, without even moving an inch—this was definitely not an opponent they could handle.

"This is at least a High-Rank Battle King, perhaps even..."

The final two words caught in the Cloud Empire Eight-Star Dou Spirit's throat.

Honestly, he found it hard to imagine how a High-Rank Battle King, or perhaps even a Dou Emperor, could appear in a place like this.

This was utterly absurd!

After realizing that, his feet had already begun retreating without his noticing.

They absolutely could not deal with such an enemy, and he did not want to die!

"Are you done attacking? Now it's my turn!"

Xiao Lin chuckled softly and raised his right hand high into the air.

Then, he suddenly pressed his right hand downward and let out a low shout. "Stellar Hand Seal!"

Unlike when he had instantly killed the Cloud Empire poison master earlier, this time Xiao Lin used the power of a Dou Emperor.

The next moment, a colossal hundred-meter palm radiating endless starlight crashed down.

This attack engulfed every Cloud Empire member except for the Eight-Star Dou Spirit whom Xiao Lin had deliberately spared.

Rumble!

A Dou Technique even more terrifying than the combined attack of the Cloud Empire's forces erupted in the middle section of the Black Rock Mountains.

In an instant, everything within a hundred-meter radius ceased to exist.

Even the ground had sunk by more than a meter!

With that single strike, Xiao Lin annihilated everyone present except for the Eight-Star Dou Spirit he had intentionally left alive.

The might of a Dou Emperor was truly terrifying!
