Again Crushing Them

"Second Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall, Gu You Saint." Xiao Han's tone remained calm. "So it was your Soul Hall that interfered. No wonder this Heavenly Underworld Old Demon managed to break through to Dou Sheng."

"However, a mere Half-Saint still doesn't have the ability to interfere with me. Not even the Soul Hall." After saying that, Xiao Han sounded somewhat surprised.

He let out a soft exclamation. "You've actually become a Dou Sheng too. The Soul Hall Master is really willing to pay such a price for me."

"However, two early-stage One-Star Dou Shengs still aren't qualified to stop me." At this moment, Xiao Han's tone even carried a hint of ferocity.

"I didn't come here to fight Pavilion Master Su." The ghostly flames in those deeply sunken eye sockets flickered slightly upon hearing Xiao Han's words, and he hurriedly said,

"I only hope that Pavilion Master Su can let this matter end completely today for the sake of the Soul Hall.

"Of course, my Soul Hall will certainly compensate you afterward. What do you think, Pavilion Master Su?"

"Not interested." However, what answered Gu You Saint was a Giant Ice Spear shimmering with a bone-chilling Cold Qi.

Gu You Saint's face twitched. The Dou Qi within him circulated frantically, and he shouted, "Ten Thousand Souls Bone Armor!"

Then, an enormous Skull Face appeared before Gu You Saint. Looking closely, one could see the souls atop it, constantly emitting horrifying screams. Gloomy Bone Spikes were embedded in its cheeks, and its entire body radiated dense black Qi.

In the next instant, the Ice Spear and the Skull Face collided violently. At that moment, heaven and earth seemed to fall silent, and all things lost their voices.

There was no tremendous sound. Everything simply and gradually faded into nothingness.

Space had already suffered severe damage from this collision, and a massive crack was slowly healing high above.

Fortunately, they were high in the sky. Otherwise, this single strike would have destroyed everything within nearly ten thousand zhang.

Pfft~

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Gu You Saint's mouth. Clearly, he had not come out unscathed after blocking Xiao Han's sudden attack.

Layer after layer of bone armor fell away, revealing his face, which was filled with terror.

"Pavilion Master Su..." He seemed about to say something, but before he could speak, Xiao Han once again uttered four emotionless words:

"Boundless Northern Kingdom!"

Upon hearing those words, the two men's expressions changed drastically. The vast Dou Qi within their bodies surged out, and they unleashed their greatest strength, charging toward Xiao Han at a speed invisible to the naked eye in hopes of stopping him from using the move.

There was no other reason. This move had once been Ice Saint's signature technique, known as the Grim Reaper's Scythe.

Boundless Northern Kingdom was a Dou Technique resembling a domain. It could pull all enemies into a boundless Snow Domain. Within it, merely resisting the domain consumed twice as much Dou Qi as usual.

Even more frighteningly, within this place, the power of Xiao Han's already absurdly powerful Dou Techniques would also increase severalfold.

Unless one was powerful enough to forcibly tear open space, there was nothing to do but await death.

Now that Xiao Han had entered sainthood, the power of this move had risen dramatically once again. Even though Dou Shengs possessed the ability to travel through space, they had absolutely no chance of escaping this domain.

Those who could survive this move either possessed a Dou Qi cultivation level more than two Small realms higher than Xiao Han's, or Xiao Han had voluntarily abandoned his killing strike.

Obviously, neither of them met either condition.

The attacks of the two men were easily neutralized. The cloud of dust slowly dispersed.

"Gu You, you really take your identity as the Soul Hall's Second Heavenly Venerable seriously, don't you?"

Xiao Han's cold words caused Gu You Saint to feel a chill rise within him. He was already struggling to resist the omnipresent Cold Qi, and when he sensed his rapidly draining Dou Qi, he felt bitter beyond words.

Now, how could he not know that the Heavenly Underworld Sect and the Soul Hall had truly angered the Langya Pavilion Master this time?

Their hopes of surviving were now exceedingly slim.

Xiao Han continued, "Since you want to live and die together with the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon so badly, I'll send you both to the Road to the Yellow Springs together."

"Die!"

Gu You Saint and the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon watched in terror as a Frost Giant Dragon condensed beneath Xiao Han's feet.

The powerful might made them unable to stop themselves from feeling fear. Even more astonishingly, the Frost Giant Dragon formed entirely from ice and snow seemed to possess intelligence of its own.

One could even see a hint of liveliness in its pale eyes. But for the two men facing Xiao Han, this was hardly the time to admire a work of art.

The Frost Giant Dragon's enormous body also brought with it terrifying destructive power.

They had a premonition that if they were struck head-on by this Frost Giant Dragon, they might not even have the chance to linger on the brink of death—they would die outright.

There was no longer any way to worry about their Dou Qi consumption. If they could not withstand the attack before them, then however much Dou Qi they had would be meaningless.

"Go!"

Under the two men's trembling gazes, the Frost Giant Dragon charged forward fearlessly.

"Ten Thousand Souls Chains!" A hoarse voice rang out, and countless chains radiating blackness and icy silence suddenly shot explosively from Gu You Saint's body.

The endless shrill screams coming from the chains, along with the human faces that appeared from time to time, revealed that this was yet another evil object refined through the sacrifice of countless souls.

However, the powerful chains were not used to attack Xiao Han. Under Gu You Saint's control, they instantly formed a gigantic shield.

Clearly, escape was useless, and he did not believe his attacks could have any effect on Xiao Han. He only hoped to block this move.

Since Gu You Saint had set an example, the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon naturally had no intention of dodging either.

"Blood Underworld Great Art!" Blood instantly gushed out of his body. The Heavenly Underworld Old Demon's originally somewhat handsome face abruptly became covered in Wrinkles, making him look several shades more terrifying.

To block this move, he had even used a Secret Method. The Heavenly Underworld Old Demon was also giving it everything he had. A pillar of blood appeared and shot directly toward the Frost Giant Dragon.

Boom~

A tremendous explosion resounded throughout heaven and earth, and even the space here trembled slightly.

Then, the Frost Giant Dragon continued charging toward the two men without losing momentum. However, judging from its greatly weakened aura, the Heavenly Underworld Old Demon's attack had clearly not been completely ineffective.

But after this move, he was obviously unable to launch another attack. He instantly hid behind Gu You Saint.

Faced with such behavior, Gu You Saint had no time to say anything. He focused solely on controlling the gigantic shield as it met the Frost Giant Dragon's enormous head.

Accompanied by an earth-shaking boom, the gigantic shield and the Frost Giant Dragon entered a brief stalemate. In the next instant, the Frost Giant Dragon's body gradually disintegrated.

However, Gu You was not doing well either. Most of the chains within his body had shattered, while the others had become listless.

Even worse, his life-bound chains had suffered severe damage. This blow had directly inflicted a serious injury on him.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, which then froze into bloody shards. Gu You Saint immediately felt considerably better.

The Heavenly Underworld Old Demon behind him also let out a long sigh of relief. They had finally blocked it.

However, Xiao Han's teasing words afterward plunged them into despair once again.

"It seems you've forgotten that this isn't the time for the battle to end yet!"

The two men who had barely managed to block Xiao Han's attack were now both severely wounded. Their Combat power had fallen to less than one-tenth of its peak. Clearly, Xiao Han only needed to make another move to easily reap both their lives.

"Show mercy!" Just as Xiao Han was about to attack again, a voice transmission entered his ears.
