A Rich Man's Battle, A Group Beating

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, four streaks of Flowing Light passed through the vortex of lava and slowly revealed their forms. The leader was dressed in a purple-gold Dragon Robe, with a majestic expression and an aura of authority that emanated from his every move.

"Soul Emperor, is that his name?" The middle-aged man in the Dragon Robe twisted his neck, stretched his body, and then turned his gaze to the astonished Soul Emperor, saying indifferently.

"You are...?" The Soul Emperor frowned and stared at the middle-aged man in the Dragon Robe in front of him. He kept replaying his past memories in his mind, but he had no recollection at all. He could only ask politely.

It wasn't that the former was humble and polite, but rather that the other party's aura was as vast as the Yuan Hai, completely on par with his own, not to mention the strangers behind him.

Although he didn't recognize one of them and his aura was almost nonexistent, the other two were the great senior Old Man Tianyun and the recently famous Puppet Saint of Central Plains. How could anyone who could stand alongside them be an ordinary person!

These four are clearly in cahoots. If they are truly angered, it will only worsen the current situation of the Soul Clan.

"The feeling of being forgotten is truly disgusting!" Upon hearing the Soul Emperor's question, the middle-aged man sighed and shook his head.

"I am Zhu Kun, the former Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Zhu Kun!"

Immediately, the middle-aged man's imposing manner surged, and his voice reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield.

Just as the Soul Emperor was still reeling from the shock of Zhu Kun's words, the latter's next words plunged him into an icy abyss.

"The Soul Emperor?"

"The name is imposing, and the scheming is quite impressive as well."

"It's an honor for you to have That brat Xiao Han request my personal intervention to kill him!"

"Xiao Han?"

"Are you one of Xiao Han's men?" The Soul Emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"No, that's not it. This emperor only has a temporary cooperative relationship with him." Zhu Kun shook his head slightly.

But the Soul Emperor couldn't care less about any of that. He silently glanced around and saw another Nine Star Dou Sheng who was no weaker than him, plus Xiao Xuan, who hadn't even shown his face yet...

Two against four!

The Soul Emperor was prepared to withdraw. As long as the Tou She Ancient God Jade remained in his hands, he would be invincible, survive today's calamity, and hide for a few more decades. This loose alliance would soon fall apart.

At that time, with the Tou She Ancient God Jade in my hands, I can take down one group and defeat another; the advantage will be mine!

"Soul Emperor, even now, don't you understand?" Just as the Soul Emperor was rapidly calculating his escape route in his mind, a voice, whether mocking or helpless, interrupted his thoughts.

"Yes, given your calculations..."

"How could I possibly escape alive!"

At that moment, the Soul Emperor knew that his chances of survival had been completely blocked.

"What, are you planning to make me surrender?" Soul Emperor glanced at Xiao Xuan out of the corner of his eye and said.

"I never thought of doing something so pointless," Xiao Xuan said calmly, as scorching Dou Qi slowly rose from his body, baking away all the moisture in the surrounding area.

"Hahaha..."

The Soul Emperor laughed wildly and arrogantly, then his aura changed, his voice filled with intense resentment and determination.

"Even if I die today, I will make sure you don't get away with this."

A surge of blood energy erupted, creating a powerful wind. Everyone present, except for a few Nine Star Dou Sheng, unconsciously took several steps back.

"Not good!" Everyone's expression changed drastically. "Attack!"

"Dragon Emperor Seal!" Zhu Kun's original relaxed and carefree attitude had vanished without a trace. His palm suddenly transformed into a dragon claw, condensing a Light Seal engraved with strange patterns. His figure leaped, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of the Soul Emperor.

"Hehehe~"

Just as the Light Seal was about to touch the Soul Emperor, the latter suddenly raised his head, his blood-red eyes sweeping over Zhu Kun without any emotion, and then chuckled lightly without warning, almost causing Zhu Kun to lose his composure after ten thousand years.

"Boom!"

With a blank expression, the Soul Emperor slammed down his fist, shattering the Light Seal in Zhu Kun's palm inch by inch, turning into specks of firefly light that dissipated into the world. Under this immense force, Zhu Kun himself was forced back several steps, creating cracks in the space. After stopping, he looked at the Soul Emperor, whose appearance had drastically changed, with apprehension.

"Too slow! Too weak!" The Soul Emperor clicked his tongue as if savoring the memory, and said with considerable regret.

"Since that's the case, then you can all die!"

The Soul Emperor paused, then suddenly vanished, and threw the same punch at Xiao Han. He knew perfectly well who was the culprit who had caused his entire plan to fail.

Before he died, he wanted to take his enemy down with him.

Just then...

"The Barbarian King Golden Body!"

"Clang!" "Boom!"

Golden streaks of Flowing Light crashed heavily to the ground, raising clouds of dust and instantly turning the area within a thousand miles of Canaan Institute into a deep crater.

"It seems I underestimated your abilities!"

Despite his failed attack, the Soul Emperor showed no disappointment, only a moment of stunned surprise. He quickly recovered, glanced at the golden figure that swiftly emerged from the pit, and gazed at Xiao Han, whose expression remained unchanged throughout, before sighing in admiration.

The only being capable of withstanding his attack so effortlessly was a body cultivator at the level of Nine Star Dou Sheng. He had never heard of such a being in the past thousand years, yet Xiao Han had brought him out.

"Your shell is quite sturdy." Ignoring the Soul Emperor's amazement, Xiao Han casually glanced at Huang Jing Tian, who was shirtless, and the dazzling golden light there was much stronger than before.

The fact that the opponent was able to withstand a blow from the Soul Emperor without sustaining any damage directly reflects the defensive power of this golden body. Xiao Han thought to himself that if the two were to fight again, the only effective method would probably be to seal it; otherwise, it would be impossible to even break through its defenses.

"Now is not the time to argue about these things." Huang Jing Tian said seriously, staring warily at Soul Emperor, who was surrounded by four people not far away.

"This guy seems to be planning to take us all down with him!"

If it were the former Soul Emperor, it would have been wishful thinking to do these things, but he, who had burned his soul, Dou Qi, and all his blood essence to increase his strength, did have a chance.

However, it was impossible for the others to make the former do that.

Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, Xiao Han, and Huang Jing Tian —two are at the Nine Star Late Stage, one is at the mid-stage with extraordinary combat power, and one is at the early stage but has unparalleled defense. If this lineup of four were to be wiped out, it would become the biggest laughing stock.

They exchanged glances, and then...

"Let's do it!"

The five streaks of Flowing Light collided violently, and with a single blow, the sky crumbled...

Another battlefield.

"Void Flame Devouring, choose how you want to die," Xiao Xuan said indifferently, looking at the tense man in black.

"Xiao Xuan, don't you want to know the secrets of the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode?"

"Spare me, and I can help you obtain Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills and advance to the Dou Di."

Void Flame Devouring still wanted to save himself, after all, this was what he had been planning for many years. At the same time, he also believed that no one would be unmoved by the secret of becoming Dou Di.

"Dou Di?" Xiao Xuan stared at the Void Flame Devouring strange look.

Just as the Void Flame Devouring felt relieved, thinking that the matter was over...

"I am familiar with the Emperor Pill Embryo and the Ancient Emperor Inheritance."

"The Tou She Ancient God Jade is in our hands..."

Ignoring the increasingly pale face of the Void Flame Devouring, Xiao Xuan asked one last question, "What gives you the right to negotiate?"

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath.

Without replying, Void Flame Devouring glanced at the fiercely fighting battlefield out of the corner of his eye. The situation was clear: after today, the Soul Clan would surely be wiped out of the Fierce Qi Continent by a group of forces.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me, Soul Emperor," Void Flame Devouring thought to himself.

"Goodbye, Xiao Xuan. There's no turning back now!"

"Hahahaha..." Void Flame Devouring laughed and transformed into countless black flames, fleeing in all directions. Xiao Xuan, a Nine Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage, was no match for Void Flame Devouring.

"Hey!"

"Why bother!" Looking at the scattered black flames, Xiao Xuan shook his head regretfully.

Within seconds, the mournful screams of the Void Flame Devouring could be heard from afar. At this moment, countless dense Rune Pattern could be faintly seen in the void surrounding Canaan Institute, which was tens of thousands of feet in diameter. The Black Flame formed by the Void Flame Devouring seemed to be imprisoned in a cage, only able to swirl within a three-foot radius.

"Xiao Han's formation is indeed quite ingenious," Xiao Xuan thought casually, toying with a palm-sized jade plate in his hand.
