Obstruction

Just as a world-shaking battle was raging in the Human Hall, a standoff was quietly taking place in the void tens of thousands of miles away.

"Ye Jianxin, does your Langya Pavilion intend to join forces with that attacker to deal with my Soul Hall?"

Staring at the figure in the blue robe ahead, the Vice Hall Master the Soul Hall was extremely agitated.

As early as when the Human Hall was attacked, he received a message from the Great Heavenly Venerate, preparing to provide support through a temporary spatial passage.

Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Ye Jianxin halfway through. He had lived for so many years and had seen all kinds of situations, but he had never heard of anyone being able to intercept someone in a spatial passage.

What alarmed him even more was that Ye Jianxin's appearance here meant that Langya Pavilion and the forces in Central Plains had joined forces.

In this way, even though the Soul Hall has the Soul Clan as its backer, it cannot withstand the opponent's attack!

After all...

There's a monster living in the Langya Pavilion!

Ye Jianxin's subsequent answer left the Vice Hall Master speechless.

"Join forces?" Ye Jianxin chuckled, his tone unhurried.

"Does my Langya Pavilion need to join forces with others to deal with your Soul Hall?"

"Hun Ying, aren't you overestimating your Soul Hall?"

The words had barely left his mouth when the Vice Hall Master couldn't take it anymore and immediately roared, "Ye Jianxin, don't be so arrogant!"

"In the eyes of my clan, your Langya Pavilion is nothing more than something that can be wiped out with a flick of the wrist!"

"Oh?" Ye Jianxin slightly raised his eyelids, gently pushed with his thumb, and his three-foot-long sword was drawn a fraction of its length. Instantly, a cold light flashed, and a powerful sword intent tore through the void.

He said softly, "You guys try taking one down and see what I do?"

"You...!" The Vice Hall Master froze upon seeing this, his body covered in cold sweat. Just a moment ago, he had truly felt the danger of death; the other party's cultivation was definitely far superior to his.

At this moment, Ye Jianxin's tone changed, and he said with amusement:

"Don't worry, we're just spectators this time. We're only here to stop your Soul Hall's reinforcements at someone's request."

"As long as you stay here and behave yourselves, everything will be fine!"

"Our Langya Pavilion has always been known for its harmonious and courteous approach to business."

Then, his voice lowered, filled with murderous intent. "But..."

"If you don't know what's good for you..."

"So don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

"Hmph!" Seeing this, the Vice Hall Master could only stay where he was. He had no choice but to accept the situation and deal with this tough opponent.

Even at this moment, the Vice Hall Master still did not give up hope. He knew very well that he was not the only team of reinforcements.

Since the last time the Saint Gu You was silently killed, the Soul Hall lost its first Dou Sheng Expert in hundreds of years, which enraged the Hall Master, and the importance attached to such matters has increased exponentially.

This time, the Human Hall has two Dou Sheng Experts, both of whom are Two-Star Dou Sheng, making them far more valuable than Saint Gu You.

Out of caution, even the Hall Master personally went there. If one of these reinforcements arrives in time, the crisis will be resolved, and they may even be able to surround and kill the invading enemy.

Ye Jianxin glanced at the Vice Hall Master and knew what the latter was planning, but he didn't expose him or care at all.

Someone will naturally go to Hun Miesheng's side. In any case, all the Dou Sheng above three stars have been blocked, and the rest pose no threat at all.

If they still fail after all this, it can only mean that they misjudged the person in the first place. Everyone should go home!

At this moment, Soul Hall Master Hun Miesheng, who was highly regarded by the Vice Hall Master, was staring at a white-clad figure in front of him with a dark expression.

The aura of Five-Star Dou Sheng emanating from the other party made him feel extremely troubled.

"Are you the Guest Elder of the Langya Pavilion?" After thinking for a moment, Hun Miesheng still asked.

"Oh?" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice said with an "honored" look, "I never thought that someone as insignificant as me would be remembered by the infamous Soul Hall Master."

"Enough with the words!" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice waved its hand slightly and said quite honestly, "I came here to stop you from going to support those subordinates."

"What?" He raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat eager to try.

"Should the Soul Hall Master try to kill me?"

"Or should we just wait here?"

"Let's draw a path!"

Hun Miesheng's eyes flickered as he asked, "The Langya Pavilion has joined forces with them?"

"Join forces?" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice retorted, "Is it necessary?"

Hun Miesheng's face instantly turned ugly. These words weren't particularly hurtful, but they were extremely insulting. However, he had to admit that it was a bloody fact— the Soul Hall was no longer a match for the Langya Pavilion.

Let alone their opponents, Hun Miesheng estimates that if they weren't backed by the Soul Clan and Langya Pavilion weren't unwilling to become mortal enemies with them, it's questionable whether the Soul Hall would even exist now.

The reason is simple: a remarkably talented Ice Saint has emerged in the Langya Pavilion. As long as he remains, Langya Pavilion will forever be a mountain weighing down on the Soul Hall.

By now, Hun Miesheng had given up on the idea of forcibly breaking through the blockade of the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice to provide support.

He had met the latter once when he was in the Soul Hall and together with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan targeting Langya Pavilion, and knew that this guy was also a formidable opponent.

Although Hun Miesheng level, it would take a lot of effort to defeat him. By the time he arrives, it will be too late. It would be better to wait here!

We can only hope that other reinforcements will arrive soon. Even now, Hun Miesheng doesn't believe the Human Hall can survive until then.

As Hun Miesheng had predicted, just as the Soul Hall reinforcements were rushing over...

"Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, sending the Great Heavenly Venerate flying backward. He retreated several hundred feet before regaining his footing. He caught sight of the Soul Hall's forces below, almost entirely wiped out, and a tightness gripped his chest.

"Pfft~"

He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes widened in fury as he stared at the two Elder Yao attacking again from afar, a surge of intense hatred rising within him. "You..."

"Damn it!"

His body immediately merged with the Bone Emperor Blade again, and he charged towards the two of them.

Although the people of the Soul Hall are all heartless, that only applies to those who have lost their usefulness.

Those who are being slaughtered now are the backbone of the Soul Hall. Once this group is wiped out, the operation of the entire Soul Hall will be greatly affected.

With such a huge blunder, as the leader of the Human Hall, he is bound to be responsible. Even though he is Dou Sheng Expert and will not be easily killed, he will not escape severe punishment. And all of this is thanks to the person in front of him. How can he not be angry!

While furious, the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable was also deeply puzzled as to why the reinforcements inside the palace had not yet arrived.

Even if others are a little slower due to the distance, the Vice Hall Master and the Hall Master should have arrived long ago.

But the Great Heavenly Venerate is now too preoccupied to attend to anything else. After a long battle, he is showing signs of weakness and can only rely on his last bit of willpower to wait for reinforcements to arrive in order to turn the tide.

On the other side, the Blood Shadow Saint was even worse off, being repeatedly defeated by the combined forces of Xiao Tie Xiao Ya.

Xiao Tie's powerful physique, coupled with an enormous shield, was wielded with great force. Every time the Blood Shadow Saint clashed with him, he would feel an unbearable force, and a considerable amount of internal Hidden Force would penetrate his protective Dou Qi into his body, causing him great discomfort.

If that were all, he could easily win by overwhelming his cultivation level.

However, behind Xiao Tie was a troublemaker named Xiao Ya. He didn't engage in close combat, but instead would suddenly fire arrows from the shadows, frequently interrupting the Blood Shadow Saint's attacks and making him hesitant to fight.

If the Blood Shadow Saint wanted to attack Xiao Ya directly, Xiao Tie would instantly block him and entangle him firmly.

Thus, the Blood Shadow Saint's battle was quite frustrating, as he could not unleash even half of his full strength.

As for the idea of a sudden power surge in combat, that's highly unreliable and didn't happen to the Great Heavenly Venerate and others.

Their deaths were exceptionally tragic and pitiful. They were brutally beaten to death by a group of Dou Sheng and the Half-Saint who arrived later.

On his deathbed, the Great Heavenly Venerate even roared to the heavens, "Where are the reinforcements?!"

He finally collapsed, unwilling to accept his fate.
