The Battle Begins

Meanwhile, Jia Xing Tian and the others, who were already prepared, each found their own opponents, while the Hall of Souls Protector were left to be dealt with by the Dou Zong powerhouses of the Xiao Clan.

Facing the Soul Hall Heavenly Venerate, Poison Scorpion, Yun Shan went all out, not only taking the initiative to seize the advantage, but also quickly having the Yun Lan Sect's experts activate the Cloud Mist Sun-Veiling Array.

Of course, this group also included many experts who were not from the Yun Lan Sect.

After all, the Yun Lan Sect doesn't have many powerful experts, so it's completely impossible to raise Yun Shan, Three Star Dou Zun, to a level where he can directly contend with Five Star Dou Zun without being at a disadvantage.

Therefore, there are quite a few personal agendas mixed in here.

"Great Wind Handprint!" Yun Shan turned around and shouted. A huge, enormous hand appeared in the void. Yun Shan pressed down with his hand, and the palm print covered the Poison Scorpion, blocking its escape route.

"Hehehe~"

Poison Scorpion was also very curious about an opponent like Yun Shan, and he could certainly sense that Yun Shan's cultivation level was only Three Star Dou Zun.

But the opponent's strange formation and elusive movements allowed them to fight him head-on without being defeated, and now they are constantly launching attacks. He really wants to know where the opponent's confidence comes from.

The Poison Scorpion brought its index and middle fingers together, its entire body shrouded in black mist, and the surrounding space seemed to hiss. "Scorpion Shadow Finger!"

The enormous finger, hundreds of feet long, pointed out and collided with the palm print in the blink of an eye. The energy fluctuations generated by the collision directly interrupted the attacks of many powerful figures who were fighting.

"Is this the power of Dou Zun expert?" Many Dou Zong looked at the two figures standing opposite each other in the sky with envy.

That immense power, capable of shaking even space itself, was far stronger than my ability to merely tear a small opening in space.

Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, looked at the battlefield in the sky with satisfaction. He understood that Yun Shan had a very high chance of winning this battle against the Soul Hall Heavenly Venerate.

When people are in high spirits, they are in a good mood. Xiao Zhan unconsciously increased his power again, making the Soul Hall Heavenly Guardian he was facing suffer greatly.

What kind of monster is that guy in front of me? He was already struggling to stay afloat, and now he's gotten even stronger.

Then, in a desperate move, he unleashed his life-bound chains, which shot out towards Xiao Zhan's head in an instant, and one could even hear the wails of the souls on the chains.

Xiao Zhan's expression turned cold; he deeply abhorred such evil techniques. His Dou Qi surged once more.

"The Heavenly Wind Giant Elephant!"

A humanoid phantom, several tens of feet tall, appeared on the battlefield. It stretched out a giant hand, seemingly slowly yet quickly, and easily grasped the seemingly fierce Soul Lock, then exerted a slight force.

"Bang!" The sound of chains shattering rang out, and the Hall of Souls Protector let out a wail. His aura immediately weakened. With his life-bound chains destroyed, he too suffered a severe injury.

However, the issue now is not his serious injuries, but whether he can save his life.

Xiao Zhan gave the Protector no chance to catch his breath, arriving in front of him in an instant. His fist, enveloped in Dou Qi, slammed into the Protector's body, and with a jolt of Dou Qi, it shattered the protector into nothingness.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's ruthless attack, the other Hall of Souls Protector on the field subconsciously moved away from where Xiao Zhan was.

On the contrary, the powerful figures on the Jia Ma Empire's side cheered as they saw Xiao Zhan swiftly and decisively defeat a Dou Zong expert.

Today, since it is a battle between the strong, ordinary troops have not even set foot on the battlefield, and have become like cheerleaders.

However, just as Xiao Zhan was preparing to find his next opponent, a sudden gust of wind swept in from the side. Xiao Zhan frowned, quickly disappeared from his original spot, and reappeared in another location, looking in the direction from which the attack came.

It was an old man in black with a head full of green hair, looking at Xiao Zhan with a strange smile.

"As expected, you are also a Dou Zun expert." Ying Ye said with a sinister smile.

Just now, Xiao Zhan dealt with the Heavenly Guardian, who was equivalent to High-level Dou Zong, with such smooth and effortless movements that Ying Ye, who was hidden on the battlefield, easily sensed Xiao Zhan's formidable strength despite his seemingly low Dou Zong cultivation level.

In stark contrast to Ying Ye's smile, Xiao Zhan was in an extremely bad mood. His strength, which he had concealed for so long, had been partially exposed because of this Four Star Dou Zun's sneak attack.

Since that's the case, let's strike first as a sign of respect! Xiao Zhan twisted his neck, and the shape of a lion's head faintly appeared on his hands.

"Furious Lion's Roar!"

Endless lion-headed fist shadows surged towards Ying Ye like a tidal wave.

It was the Dou Techniques attached to the Xiao Clan family's clan-protecting technique that, through Xiao Zhan's improvements, was now able to exert power no less than that of Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique.

"Interesting." Ying Ye smiled darkly, then bent his hand into a blade and unleashed a massive wave of energy a hundred feet long, cleaving through all the fist shadows.

Meanwhile, Yun Shan was in the distance, noticed the huge commotion at Xiao Zhan's place and also focused some of his senses on it.

At this moment, his expression suddenly turned ugly. "There was actually a Dou Zun expert hidden here."

If Xiao Zhan hadn't been there, he would have surely perished here alone.

"Hehe~" Poison Scorpion said with some surprise, "I didn't expect that this small Jia Ma Empire would have two Dou Zun expert."

Originally, I thought it was fine to have a local Dou Zun expert like Yun Shan who was supported by the locals, but I never expected that there would be another mysterious Dou Zun was on par with the former.

Could it be that Langya Pavilion sent them personally? Poison Scorpion secretly raised the level of importance he placed on them a little higher.

"Hmph!" Yun Shan snorted coldly and immediately separated from the Poison Scorpion upon contact.

He did not immediately launch an attack, but his aura suddenly surged.

"Hmm?" The Poison Scorpion guessed that Yun Shan was about to use some kind of powerful Dou Techniques, and then reached out to the Jade Scorpion under its body.

The enormous scorpion instantly shrank to the size of a human. Then, the Poison Scorpion hardened its expression, placed its hand on the scorpion's carapace, and slowly merged with the scorpion.

A bright green light shone, causing everyone to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes, the Poison Scorpion had completely changed its appearance.

Its original mouth has been completely transformed into the mouthparts of a scorpion, and a huge scorpion tail hook extends from its back, swaying behind it. Its two hands have become scorpion pincers, and its body is covered with hard armor on the front and back.

Of the entire body, only the legs are still normal.

Meanwhile, Yun Shan was also ready. He himself had not changed at all; the only difference was that he now held a green-blue Dou Qi bow and arrow.

However, the dangerous aura emanating from the bow and arrow caused the Poison Scorpion, possessing animalistic instincts like a scorpion, to instinctively squint its eyes, arch its body forward, and hold its two pincers horizontally in front of it.

Before Yun Shan could attack, Poison Scorpion charged at him first. His speed at this moment far exceeded that of when he had just fought Yun Shan.

Faced with the green light that kept flashing before his eyes, Yun Shan made no extra movements, simply drew back the longbow in his hand and closed his eyes.

For some reason, Yun Shan's perception ability has been greatly enhanced ever since he received the final inheritance from Ancestor Yun Potian at the Life and Death Gate.

Although the Poison Scorpion are moving fast now, in Yun Shan's eyes they are just like a slow-motion shot.

Then Yun Shan's figure flickered strangely, and a green arrow gradually materialized in his hand. He then released his grip.

The arrow, as if it had eyes, transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and shot towards the Poison Scorpion.
