Chapter 1260: Kill
Xiao Yan already had a killing intent towards Chen Tian Nan within his heart ever since the latter first lead a large group of people to the Pill Tower to capture him. However, he was merely a nine star Dou Zong back then. It was quite difficult to kill this old fellow. Hence, he did not act. Now that they have met again, Xiao Yan had yet to act when this old fellow had attacked first. Moreover, looking at the vicious stance of the latter, it was clear that he really wanted to take Xiao Yan"s life.
Xiao Yan would naturally not show mercy to this kind of enemy, who possessed a desire to kill him. Although the Profound Xuan Sect might not be very strong, the Profound Sky Sect behind them caused people to be a little afraid. No one could guarantee that this old fellow would find some great trouble for Xiao Yan due to his grudge against the latter. It was not Xiao Yan"s character to leave a potential danger alone. Moreover, the situation in this place was currently chaotic. It was likely that news would not really spread if he killed this old fellow here.
These thoughts flashed across Xiao Yan"s heart. He looked at Chen Tian Nan, who appeared quite miserable under the attack of the Sky Demon Puppet. His face also became increasingly icy.
Chen Tian Nan"s strength was around that of a two star Dou Zun. On the other hand, with the fighting strength of the Sky Demon Puppet, it would not be at a disadvantage even when facing an expert at the peak of the three star Dou Zun cla.s.s. Hence, it was naturally able to firmly suppress the former in their fight.
"Bang!"
Chen Tian Nan violently collided head on with the Sky Demon Puppet in the midair. The frightening strength that was transmitted through his arm immediately caused him to take over a dozen staggering steps in the midair. b.l.o.o.d.y Qi rose within his body. A pale white expression surfaced on his face. The Sky Demon Puppet did not feel any pain, it was like a killing machine when it fought. As long as Xiao Yan did not ask it to step, it would never stop. Chen Tian Nan would suffer quite a great disadvantage when they fight.
After having fallen into a disadvantage despite the long fight, Chen Tian Nan already had the intention to withdraw within his heart. The reason he dared to s.n.a.t.c.h the scroll from Xiao Yan was because Xiao Yan was facing enemies from all directions. Not only did the experts from the Hall of Soul had an enmity with him but even the gazes that the Heaven Demon Phoenix"s group used to look at him were unfriendly. At this moment, Chen Tian Nan would naturally wish to add insult to injury, given his character. However, he did not expect that the current Xiao Yan was actually completely different from the one at the Pill Tower back then. That endless number of tactics had caused his heart to feel a little afraid.
"Looks like I can only withdraw first. Once the chaos of this place end, the Hall of Soul and the rest will definitely find trouble with this brat. At that time, I will secretly attack and kill this brat. At the same time, I will also s.n.a.t.c.h the scroll back."
Chen Tian Nan finally decided to cease fighting while this thought flashed across his heart. He raised his head and looked at the Sky Demon Puppet, which had rushed over once again. His body hurriedly pulled back, intending to withdraw into the chaotic battleground.
"Humph, where are you going?"
However, Chen Tian Nan had just stepped back when an icy cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him. At the same instant, a extremely frightening hot wind also arrived.
This sudden attack had also caused Chen Tian Nan"s expression to change. He swiftly turned around instinctively as his palms, which were covered in Dou Qi, were hurriedly thrown forward.
"Bang!"
The fierce wind suddenly spread apart at this moment. Chen Tian Nan, who hurriedly exchanged blows with his opponent, immediately felt a oppression in his heart. His body was forcefully shaken until it withdrew for a couple of dozen metres. He hurriedly raised his head, only to see a skinny figure standing at the spot where he had fell back from earlier.
"Xiao Yan!"
Chen Tian Nan immediately gritted his teeth and cried when he saw that figure.
Xiao Yan was expressionless. Purple-brown flame surrounded his body, causing him to appear like a fire G.o.d. His feet were stepping on the empty air as he walked over towards Chen Tian Nan.
"You wish to kill me?" Chen Tian Nan involuntarily narrowed his eyes and coldly said when he saw this manner of Xiao Yan.
The corner of Xiao Yan"s mouth was lifted into a dense arc. Vast and mighty Dou Qi swiftly gathered in his palm.
"With just this one star Dou Zun strength of yours?" Chen Tian Nan laughed furiously. He was just about to take the initiative to attack when an unusually sharp wind was suddenly transmitted from behind him. This caused his expression to change. He hurried turned around and met it. Both of his palms danced and his powerful Dou Qi formed an impenetrable energy web in front of him.
"Bang bang!"
The Sky Demon Puppet waved its arm. Each time it was swung, it would bring about an ear-piercing sharp wind splitting sound. s.p.a.ce collapsed and numerous dark black crack lines appeared.
"Boom!"
Chen Tian Nan quietly cried out bitterly when faced with this fierce attack by the Sky Demon Puppet. His body continued to pull back. The strength of the Sky Demon Puppet had basically suppressed him until he only had the ability to defend.
"If this continues, I will sooner or later be seriously injured in the hands of this puppet. Looks like I cannot be entangled any longer. b.a.s.t.a.r.d brat. The old me will remember this debt. Sooner or later, the time will come for you to repay it!" Chen Tian Nan viciously cried out within his heart. His palm wind suddenly strengthened as he forcefully pushed aside the attack by the Sky Demon Puppet. His toes pressed on the ground and his body flew backwards.
Chen Tian Nan"s heart had just sighed in relief as his body stood in the midair when a dangerous feeling suddenly spread out from deep within his heart. The gooseb.u.mps all over his body stood up at this moment.
"Sky Burying Seal!"
A slight cold cry that carried some cold wind quietly resounded beside Chen Tian Nan"s ear while Chen Tian Nan"s heart was permeated with a sense of danger.
"This is bad!"
Chen Tian Nan"s expression instantly became pale when he sensed the activity behind him. Xiao Yan"s speed was so quick that it had exceeded his expectations.
"Bang!"
Dou Qi hurriedly surged within Chen Tian Nan"s body as he reacted to the situation. Before he could completely form a defence behind him, a palm size purple-brown handprint gently landed on his back. A frightening force surged out like floodwaters.
"Grug!"
A sleek redness immediately surged up Chen Tian Nan"s pale white face after he forcefully received this heavy blow. A mouthful of fresh blood was involuntarily spat out. His body also staggered and withdrew, knocking against a couple of experts as he did so. That force had also shaken these unlucky fellows until they vomited a couple mouthfuls of blood.
Chen Tian Nan"s body transformed into an arc that flew towards the distant. His face was covered with blood as he turned around with much difficulty. His eyes were vicious as he looked at the increasingly distant Xiao Yan. That vicious poisonous feeling caused one to have gooseb.u.mps.
"Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, if I do not avenge this, I, Chen Tian Nan, will have been a sect leader in vein. In the future, I will definitely get you to regret your action today!"
Chen Tian Nan roared viciously within his heart. He was originally the type who would take revenge for any grudge. Xiao Yan had nearly killed him on the spot. This vengeance was sufficient to allow him to remember it for a lifetime.
"Bang!"
Numerous vicious thoughts flashed across Chen Tian Nan"s heart. His body also landed heavily on the ground, rubbing and forming a deep gully. After which, he violently collided onto the hard pillar of the large hall. Immediately, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
After struggling shakily onto his feet, Chen Tian Nan"s eyes penetrated through the crowd and looked at the indifferent looking Xiao Yan in the distant with vicious eyes. After which, he turned around and left.
"Puff!"
Chen Tian Nan had just turned around when his body suddenly became stiff. A dark golden fist penetrated through his chest. Fresh blood adhered onto the dark golden arm and continued to drip downwards.
Those eyes of Chen Tian Nan stared firmly at the hollow face. Only then was he aware that Xiao Yan had truly felt a murderous intent towards him. The latter would not give him any chance to take revenge.
"What a vicious tactic…"
Blood seeped out from within Chen Tian Nan"s mouth. His lifeforce also swiftly disappeared from within his body. Immediately, his stiff body collapsed slowly. Finally, it fell onto the ground. This chief of the Profound Xuan Sect, Chen Tian Nan, who had reached the strength of a two star Dou Zun, had fell in the combined attack of Xiao Yan and the Sky Demon Puppet in this manner…
"You can only blame yourself for everything…"
The chillness on Xiao Yan"s face was gradually withdrawn when he saw Chen Tian Nan collapsing slowly. He originally had no enmity with Chen Tian Nan. However, the latter insist on thinking that Chen Xian had died in his hands and had tried to kill him with all sorts of methods. Chen Tian Nan deserved this ending of his today.
Xiao Yan kept the Sky Demon Puppet into his Storage Ring after having like Chen Tian Nan with lightning like speed. Tian Huo zun-zhe, Little Fairy Doctor and the others also flashed over. Finally, the few of them once again gathered and cautiously watched the chaos within the large hall.
"What happen to that human puppet? Are you alright?" Xiao Yan glanced at Little Fairy Doctor and asked.
"I"m fine. I have lured the human puppet to another place. These things might possess the desire to kill but they do not possess any intelligence…" Little Fairy Doctor smiled sweetly as she replied.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. His eyes swept over the place.
"The Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe and Wind Lightning Pavilion has each obtained a scroll. The Ice River Valley and the Burning Flame Valley has also gained something. Additionally, another two scrolls has landed into the hands of two experts, who are quite strong." Tian Huo zun-zhe softly spoke from the side.
Xiao Yan was startled when he heard this. After which, he nodded once again. These factions had come prepared. Moreover, there were also some truly experts amongst those who had come alone. It was not too surprising for them to obtain the scrolls.
"What should we do now? There are only three scrolls remaining, which are being s.n.a.t.c.hed by people. An unknown number of people has already died because of those three scrolls… do we need to s.n.a.t.c.h another one?" Little Fairy Doctor asked.
"If we s.n.a.t.c.h more of it, it will cause those who has yet to obtain any treasure to lose their sense of reasoning…" Xiao Yan shook his head. He knitted his brows slightly and replied, "Moreover, the feeling that these ten scrolls give me does not appear like a Tian cla.s.s Dou Technique…"
"You mean… these ten scrolls are all fake?" Little Fairy Doctor and the rest asked in shock.
"These scrolls are indeed Dou Techniques or Qi Methods which are quite strong. However… they are likely not the Tian cla.s.s Dou Technique. All of us are likely fooled…" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and muttered.
Little Fairy Doctor and the others also knitted their brows tightly when they heard these words. They rotated their eyes and suddenly said, "Those fellows from the Hall of Soul… what are they planning to do?"
Xiao Yan was startled. His eyes followed the sight of Little Fairy Doctor, only to see old ghost Zhai Xing and a couple of Hall of Soul expert was actually adopting an encircling formation as they slowly walked towards the Dou Sheng skeleton at the middle of the large hall.
"Their target is the Dou Sheng skeleton?" Tian Huo zun-zhe commented in a deep voice.
"Should we intervene and stop these fellows?" Zi Yan spoke with a desire to see some action.
Xiao Yan"s eyes were staring intently at the skeleton that was seated on the stone chair. His eyes suddenly shrunk a moment later. An instant earlier, he had seen the finger of that skeleton trembling slightly.
"This… this Dou Sheng skeleton is alive?"
A shock suddenly spread out from Xiao Yan"s heart at this moment!
Chapter 1261: Dou Sheng Skeleton
The sudden drastic change in Xiao Yan"s expression also attracted the notice of Little Fairy Doctor"s group. Everyone were startled as they carefully asked, "What is it?"
Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of cold air. He looked at old ghost Zhai Xing and the others who are increasingly close to the stone chair. A bad feeling suddenly rose within his heart. An instant later, he suddenly grabbed Zi Yan and Qing Lin beside him and cried out in a deep voice, "Pull back quickly!"
"Ugh?"
This unusual action of Xiao Yan caused Little Fairy Doctor and the rest to be at a loss. However, everyone trusted Xiao Yan"s words. Hence, they might be uncertain of the reason for this action of his but they still immediately turned around and hurriedly followed him.
While Xiao Yan"s group was hurrying back, old ghost Zhai Xing"s group had also stepped into a ten feet radius of the stone chair. Both of his eyes were fiery hot as he watched the seated skeleton. Dou Sheng. This level possessed an allure that even they could not resist. An elite Dou Sheng might be able to be called the top expert of this continent but there was still too much of a gap to the true peak…
Dou Zun and Dou Sheng was basically a great leap apart. The gap between the two was basically impossible to be make-up by anything…
"Is this the bones of an elite Dou Sheng…"
Old ghost Zhai Xing"s eyes were wild and hot as they stared at the jade white skeleton. He involuntarily leaked his tongue. His feet took another two steps forward and his large hand directly grabbed towards the skeleton.
"Chi!"
When the hands of old ghost Zhai Xing were about to touched the skeleton, a slight wiggling had suddenly appeared in that s.p.a.ce. Immediately, they appeared to have transformed into countless number of extremely sharp spatial thorns that ruthlessly pierced onto old ghost Zhai Xing"s hand.
The slight pain that was emitted from his hand caused old ghost Zhai Xing to be startled. He hurriedly withdrew his hand, only to discover that quite a lot of fresh blood had already flowed out from his hand. There were a couple of droplets amongst them that had gently dripped on the skeleton that was sitting down.
An uneasy emotion quietly spread out from the heart of old ghost Zhai Xing as he looked at the fresh blood that landed on the jade white skeleton.
"Zhai Xing Tianzun, what is it?"
The couple of Hall of Soul experts, who had surrounded him asked uncertainly. They were also startled when they saw old ghost Zhai Xing suddenly becoming stunned.
Old ghost Zhai Xing appeared as though he did not hear their scream. His eyes firmly stared at the blood that dripped onto the skeleton. At this moment, these blood appeared like water that had touched cotton when they rolled onto the bones. It ended up quietly seeping into the bones.
The eyes of old ghost Zhai Xing suddenly shrunk when the blood completely seeped into the bones. At this moment, he suddenly sensed that some life had actually once again surged within this skeleton that had been dead for an unknown number of years.
"This is bad. Withdraw quickly!"
Old ghost Zhai Xing finally reacted to the situation. The moment he sensed that lifeforce, an anxious roar was emitted from within his mouth. At the same time, his feet stomped onto the ground and his body flew backwards in a lightning like manner.
Old ghost Zhai Xing"s reaction was quick but the other few experts from the Hall of Soul were a little slower. Hence, they only began to use their agility and pull back after being stunned for a moment. However, it was already too late at this moment…
When they had just pulled back, the jade white skeleton that was seated on the stone chair had already shook gently. After which, two cl.u.s.ters of faint blood red colour suddenly flashed and appeared within the empty skull.
"Ah!"
This Dou Sheng"s skeleton slowly raised its head when the blood glow appeared. An earthshaking roar was suddenly emitted from his mouth at this moment in a thunder like manner!
The frightening roar had transformed into a substance like sonic wave in an instant. It became like a storm as it spread apart in a lightning like manner with the stone chair being at the centre.
"Bang!"
The first that was implicated by the sonicc storm was naturally the few experts from the Hall of Soul, who were a little slow to react. The sonic wave caught up with them in an instant. Immediately, their bodies appeared to be like sandbags that had been struck by a cannonball. They immediately burst apart and turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y fog that spread apart with a "bang"/
"Humph!"
That old ghost Zhai Xing had also yet to escape from the attacking range of the sonic wave. However, he was strong and he had reacted sufficiently quickly. Hence, he did not instantly burst into a b.l.o.o.d.y fog like the other unlucky fellows. However, that sonic wave that swept over still caused some blood to churn within his body. A low and deep m.u.f.fled sound appeared in his throat. Clearly, he had also suffered some injuries.
Even with the strength of old ghost Zhai Xing, he was unable to endure a sonic wave roar from this Dou Sheng"s skeleton. Hence, this sonic wave could be truly considered the scythe of a death G.o.d for most people belonging to the Hall of Soul.
Quite a number of experts within the large hall were currently still chasing the three remaining scrolls. The sharp sonic wave spread with a lightning speed. The many figures in the mid air suddenly stiffened. Immediately, a "bang" sounded and they blasted apart like a blood fog. In an instant, the entire large hall had been filled with a rich blood fog.
This sudden b.l.o.o.d.y scene had also caused everyone to wake up from the allure of the Tian cla.s.s Dou Skill. Some shock swiftly surged up their faces. Dou Qi surged out from their bodies without being held back as the many figures withdrew a great distance from the centre of the large hall in a miserable manner, appearing like dogs, which had lost their homes.
The sonic wave spread. After causing this slaughter that caused one"s heart to feel a chill, everyone finally scattered with some ugly expression. They looked at the slowly scattering blood fog in the midair. A rich shock and chillness appeared within their hearts. At least a hundred people had died under that sonic wave earlier. Amongst these people were two elite Dou Zuns!
"A sonic wave that can kill even elite Dou Zuns…"
Everyone who had escaped a calamity violently swallowed a mouthful of saliva at this moment. Even an expert like that black robed old man from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe also had a face covered with cold sweat at this moment.
"Old ghost Zhai Xing, what have you done?"
Tang Zhen, who had recovered from this unexpected change, suddenly turned their furious eyes towards old ghost Zhai Xing, who had escaped. His voice was furious as they spoke.
Everyone turned their furious eyes towards old ghost Zhai Xing when they heard Tang Zhen furious voice. All of them had clearly saw that this manner was caused by this old ghost.
Upon being stared at furiously by so many experts, even old ghost Zhai Xing ended up twitching the corner of his mouth. His mouth was filled with bitterness. He had also never expect that things would suddenly become like this. A skeleton that had clearly lost all of its strength was actually be able to suddenly unleash such a frightening strength.
Xiao Yan"s group did not suffer much injuries because they were quick to pull back. However, the skin on their heads were involuntarily numb when they saw that there were less than half of the number of people left within the large hall at this moment. Was that skeleton not a little too frightening?
"The old me is unaware of why that skeleton that had been dead for countless number of years will suddenly erupt. A couple of experts from our Hall of Soul are also dead…" Old ghost Zhai Xing inhaled a deep breath of air and spoke in a deep voice with the intent of was.h.i.+ng off his responsibility. There were many experts present. It was impossible for him to offend all of them with his strength alone.
"If it was not because your fresh blood had landed on the skeleton, how would it have awakened? Are you trying to shrink from your responsibility after things had become like this?" Xiao Yan laughed coldly when he heard the explanation.
The expression of old ghost Zhai Xing changed when he heard these words from Xiao Yan. However, upon sensing an increasing number of furious gazes from around him, he could only cup his hands together and said, "This matter is indeed because of the recklessness of the old me. However, the most important thing now is not to hold others accountable. If the old me guess correctly, that Dou Sheng skeleton should be a thought left behind by that expert when he was alive. It is not difficult to deal with. As long as we join hands, we will definitely be able to suppress it."
"Just a thought alone is already so frightening. If another of that sonic wave earlier arrives, it was likely that not many people in this place can survive." Tang Zhen"s expression was as deep as water. Quite a number of experts from the Burning Flame Valley had been killed by the sonic wave. If it was not because now was not the right moment, he would have been unable to control himself and attack old ghost Zhai Xing.
"Since we have already obtained the scroll, all of us should just leave. This things is too frightening…" Someone within the crowd softly said. His voice contained a horror that could not be hidden. That kind of strength was really too frightening.
"It is not possible to leave. This thought will definitely finish off everyone who has barge into the remains. Should we flee, it is likely that no one will be able to leave alive." Old ghost Zhai Xing spoke in a deep voice.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that this old ghost seemed to really desire to finish off this Dou Sheng"s skeleton. However, given old ghost Zhai Xing"s cautious character, he would definitely not risk his life like this for no reason…
Old ghost Zhai Xing"s words had also stirred some chaos. Some of the weaker individuals had an even richer horror on their faces. However, no one dared to turn around and flee.
"Creak…"
During the time when even was in a chaos, the interior of the large hall that was permeated by a blood fog suddenly emitted a slight sound of bone moving. This sound immediately silenced all the commotion. Numerous horrified eyes were staring at the middle of the large hall permeated by a blood fog. Horror spread in an increasingly serious manner at this moment.
"Clatter clatter…"
The sound of bone touching the ground became closer. That sound was not loud but it appeared to be stepping on everyone heart, causing everyone to feel extremely pressured.
"Be careful… do not separate."
Xiao Yan"s expression was grave. He turned his head and softly spoke to Little Fairy Doctor"s group. This situation seemed to have already exceeded their control. It would really be too frightening for the skeleton of a Dou Sheng to be revived.
Little Fairy Doctor and the rest also nodded. If things were not done properly this time around, it was likely that everyone here would end up dying, It was likely that hardly anyone present could forcefully resist the kind of sonic wave attack from earlier.
The blood fog within the large hall slowly rippled under the gaze of everyone. Immediately a blood red skeleton that had been dyed red took slow steps out of the blood fog and appeared in front of everyone"s gazes.
"Those who barge into the remains shall die!"
The blood coloured skeleton halted its footsteps a hundred metres in front of everyone. It raised its head. Blood light flickered within those empty eyes. An ancient hoa.r.s.e indifferent voice quietly resounded within the large hall.
Chapter 1262: Join Hands
The skeleton thin body stood within the large hall. Its originally jade white body had already turned scarlet. At a glance, it gave one a kind of extremely strong b.l.o.o.d.y feeling. Two cl.u.s.ters of faint red glow flickered slightly within the skeleton"s eyes.
Two scrolls were dancing in the midair above the head of the Dou Sheng skeleton. Some unknown lucky fellow had obtained one scroll during the chaos earlier. Hence, there were currently these two scrolls remaining that were without an owner. Of course, at this moment, there were hardly anyone who dared to s.n.a.t.c.h the meat from a tiger"s mouth in the face of the deterrence by the Dou Sheng skeleton.
The expressions of everyone in the hall once again changed slightly when that hoa.r.s.e and old voice slowly sounded. From the looks of it, they would not be able to smoothly leave if they did not defeat this Dou Sheng skeleton.
"Everyone, there is no need to panic. The interior of this Dou Sheng skeleton only possess a remanent spiritual imprint left by that expert when he was alive. It is not a genuine Dou Sheng. It is not impossible to defeat it. However, the precondition is that we must join hands. Otherwise, if it defeats us individually, there is a chance that all of us will perish."Old ghost Zhai Xing spoke in a deep voice.
"Old mister Zhai Xing is right. However, since this skeleton was awaken by you, please be the first to attack." Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said.
"Yes, this should indeed be the case. You must take a large part of the responsibility for this manner. If you wish for all of us to join hands in dealing with it, you must be the first to fight." Tang Zhen also nodded and agreed. Some other experts mused for a moment before nodding in agreement. They were already quite displeased with old ghost Zhai Xing"s reckless action. Being able to take this small revenge could relief their anger.
The shrivelled face of old ghost Zhai Xing involuntarily twitched upon seeing this. His eyes were vicious as they stared at Xiao Yan. This soft blade of the latter had directly pushed him to the most dangerous place. Moreover, from the looks of it, he was unable to pull back. All he could do was to harden his skin and step forward.
"Everyone… is being reasonable. In that case, the old me shall be the first to attack. However, I will remind everyone that the fewer experts there are present, the more dangerous our situation will me. Regardless of whether we have any grudge in the past, we are all currently on the same boat. No one will have any good ending if this boat capsizes." Old ghost Zhai Xing could only harden his skin in the face of the many gazes and spoke in a righteous manner.
"Old mister Zhai Xing, please be rea.s.sured that we will not just watch you die in the hands of this Dou Sheng"s skeleton." Xiao Yan smilingly said. Those words that he had uttered, however, caused a green colour to appear on old ghost Zhai Xing"s face.
"Alright, let"s not talk any nonsense. You should be quick if you wish to attack. This Dou Sheng skeleton seemed to be absorbing the strength within the blood fog to replenish itself." That black robed elder from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe suddenly had a sunken expression as he coldly cried out.
Everyone were startled when they heard these words of his. Their gazes looked over and did indeed see that the blood red colour on the body of the Dou Sheng skeleton becoming increasingly dark. The surrounding black fog was also swiftly flowing into his body.
"Old mister Zhai Xing, it is time to attack!"
Xiao Yan cried out in a deep voice.
"The corner of old ghost Zhai Xing"s eyes twitched. He endured the impulse he had to kill Xiao Yan with a slap as he clenched his teeth and said, "The old me knows this. There is no need for you to say anything more!"
Old ghost Zhai Xing understood that there was no time for him to continue delaying after his voice sounded. His body moved and it transformed into a blurry black figure that rushed towards the blood skeleton that was at the middle of the hall. Vast and mighty Dou Qi surged out from the body of old ghost Zhai Xing like a volcano in all directions. This aura caused the blood fog that permeated within the large hall to become a little thinner.
The morale of quite a number of people were braced when they saw this mighty aura of old ghost Zhai Xing.
"Creak…"
The blood glint within the eyes of the skeleton looked towards the black figure that rushed over while being accompanied by vast and mighty Dou Qi. It moved its jaws up and down a little before taking a step forward. A dark red skeleton hand directly grabbed towards old ghost Zhai Xing.
"Chi!"
The speed of the skeleton was extremely frightening. He had just lifted his hand when the s.p.a.ce in front of him was directly torn apart. His hand penetrated through the shattered s.p.a.ce. It had already appeared in front of old ghost Zhai Xing when it next appeared.
The frightening speed of this blood coloured skeleton also caused the heart of old ghost Zhai Xing to sink. His hand was tightened into a fist and the Dou Qi within his body gathered on his right arm before it was suddenly thrown outward!
"Bang!"
A fist violently smashed on the palm of the skeleton. However, the seemingly weak skeleton was currently even harder than steel. This punch of old ghost Zhai Xing, which contained all of his strength, merely forced back this Dou Sheng skeleton by a step. On the other hand, he was forced back by over a dozen steps, appearing a little miserable.
However, this old ghost Zhai Xing was also a vicious character. His mission this time around wa to bring this Dou Sheng skeleton back. Therefore, he did not dare to be lazy. After stabilizing his body, he moved once again. His body shot outwards and once again became entangled with the Dou Sheng skeleton. A big battle erupted.
Xiao Yan and the rest watched the big battle. They were involuntarily a little speechless. This Dou Sheng skeleton was indeed very powerful. Even an expert like old ghost Zhai Xing was being suppressed until he continued to be defeated despite using his full strength.
"This is merely just a remanent spiritual imprint. Just how frightening will it be if it is a completely elite Dou Sheng?"
This thought flashed across the hearts of quite a number of people at this moment. Clearly, the fighting strength of this skeleton had caused them to be a little shocked.
"Chi!"
While everyone were exclaiming, a couple of rus.h.i.+ng wind sound was suddenly emitted from the large hall that was covered by a blood fog. A couple of figures charged out from the blood fog with lightning like speed. After which, they fiercely attacked old ghost Zhai Xing. Everyone glanced over and found that they were actually the human puppets that had yet to be completely finished off earlier.
After the intense big battle earlier, those human puppets had killed quite a number of experts. However, there were a couple of them that had been shattered into dust by the combined attacks of many experts. However, there were still six of them that remained. The expression of old ghost Zhai Xing changed immediately when these six appeared together. He was already at a disadvantage. If these human puppets were to join the matter, he would end up dying in this place within less than ten exchanges.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, why are all of you still watching the show? Quickly attack!"
Old ghost Zhai Xing roared furiously. His body rushed backwards after he stomped on the ground with his foot.
"Valley chief Tang Zhen, valley chief Bing He and this young friend Xiao Yan. The four of us will attack together and aid old ghost Zhai Xing in finis.h.i.+ng of this Dou Sheng Skeleton, what do you say?" That black robed old man from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe was aware that they can no longer simply watch the show after hearing the furious cry of old ghost Zhai Xing. Immediately, his eyes turned towards Tang Zhen and Bing He. Their strength had reached the level of a five star and four star Dou Zuns respectively. However, the thing that surprised everyone was that he had actually called Xiao Yan, who was merely a one star Dou Zun, when he opened his mouth.
Xiao Yan moved his finger. He glanced at the black robed old man. This old fellow was clearly worried that he would end up having an overly easy time and possess a great amount of remaining strength. This was disadvantageous to them. Therefore, he wanted to pull Xiao Yan into the most dangerous battleground.
"Yes." Tang Zhen and Bing He zun zhe nodded while Xiao Yan was in deep thought. Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only nod his head. He looked around him and said, "These six human puppets will be left to all of you experts."
"Mister Xiao Yan, please be rest a.s.sured that these puppets will not disturb all of you."
There were still quite a number of experts present. Although their legs would tremble when facing a Dou Sheng skeleton, they could still deal with these six puppets by relying on their large numbers.
"Be careful." Little Fairy Doctor whispered.
"Yes, all of you should also pay more attention. If the situation is not right, you should all leave first. There is no need to bother about me. I will be fine." Xiao Yan nodded. His eyes exchanged looks with Tang Zhen and the others before the four of them rushed out at the same time. They became like large birds that hurried into the large hall. After which, they and old ghost Zhai Xing, encircled around the Dou Sheng skeleton.
Xiao Yan"s group had just began to attack when the other experts within the large hall also got into action. Numerous figures once again rushed into the large hall. Powerful Dou Qi surged and lured away those six puppets. After which, the large number of people surged forward like locust. In an instant, an intense battle erupted within the large hall.
Old ghost Zhai Xing sighed in relief when he saw Feng Xuan, Tang Zhen and the others coming to aid him. He spoke in a deep voice, "Everyone, let"s attack together. Be careful of this fellow"s swift speed!"
The few people nodded slightly when they heard old ghost Zhai Xing"s reminder. Most of them were extremely experienced old individuals. Even though Xiao Yan appeared young, none of those old demons present dared to underestimate this young man, who had caused most of them to suffer some loss.
"Let"s attack together!"
The black robed old man, Huang Xian, who Elder from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe, cried out.
His voice had just sounded when his arm trembled. A pair of wings were extended. His speed also suddenly increased at this moment. With a flash of his body, he became the first to appear above the head of the Dou Sheng skeleton. He waved his large sleeve and a sharp palm wind covered the latter.
After Huang Xuan attacked, Tang Zhen, Bing He zun-zhe, old ghost Zhai Xing and Xiao Yan also rushed over one after another. Dou Qi erupted from within their bodies. Their vast and mighty Dou Qi was just like a monstrous wave that covered the Dou Sheng skeleton. Incomparably sharp wind violently struck onto that skeleton and waves after waves of sparks erupted.
The Dou Sheng skeleton appeared to be in a flurry in the face of the attack from Xiao Yan"s group. Currently, it was no longer that supreme Dou Sheng. With the strength of Xiao Yan"s group, it was not difficult for them to destroy him.
"Clang clang clang."
The limbs of Xiao Yan"s group violently landed on the Dou Sheng skeleton as sparks flew. Each time they struck heavily on it, it would result in the blood colour on the skeleton to pale a little. The blood glow within the skeleton"s eyes also gradually became weak.
The hearts of Xiao Yan"s group were surprised when they saw that the attack had quite a good effect. They increased their attacking speed. At the same time, the eyes of old ghost Zhai Xing also flickered.
"Chi!"
A silver glow flashed under Xiao Yan"s feet as he directly rushed into the area within half a foot from the Dou Sheng skeleton. Purple-brown flame lingered over his hand as it suddenly slammed violently on the rib cage of the skeleton. While bringing about some eye-piercing sparks, it also completely scattered the blood colour on the rib cage.
Xiao Yan withdrew after having succeeded in his first attack. His eyes suddenly paused on the bones that had turned jade white in colour. He could vaguely see some unusual words on it.
Xiao Yan"s eyes swept over this kind of strange words. He was initially startled before a glint flashed across his eyes. A disbelief immediately surged up his heart.
"These words… could they be the Tian cla.s.s Dou Technique?"
Chapter 1263: Great Heaven Fortune Palm
Xiao Yan"s eyes focused on the jade white rib cage. His mind had churned violently because of that shocking thought.
"Those ten scrolls are all used to confuse people. The true treasure is actually on this skeleton. No wonder that old ghost Zhai Xing insist on attacking. It is because… he is aware that the treasure is hidden on this skeleton." A thought hurriedly lingered on Xiao Yan"s heart at this moment. He finally understood why old ghost Zhai Xing would actually go all out and fight with this Dou Sheng skeleton despite his cautious character.
"Hee, what a cunning old ghost."
Xiao Yan laughed coldly within his heart. The flickering glow in his eyes was swiftly withdrawn. The purple-brown flame on his hand hovered over it once again. His palm was subsequently thrown out in a lightning like fas.h.i.+on. Each palm violently landed on the rib cage of the Dou Sheng skeleton. Under the frighteningly high temperature, the scarlet colour that was present on the bones also swiftly disappeared. By sweeping his gaze over it for a moment, Xiao Yan discovered that not every bone had the kind of mysterious characters. It appeared that only a couple of ribs near the abdomen had this kind of character.
"There are three ribs that possess this kind of characters…"
An excitement that was difficult to discover danced within Xiao Yan"s eyes. He was certain that the characters on these three ribs were definitely the real Tian cla.s.s Dou Technique!
Xiao Yan did not dare to stay still for long after gaining an understanding of the situation. He was afraid that others might see though it. Immediately, silver glow flashed under his feet as he narrowly dodged the blade like sharp fingers of the skeleton.
"Everyone, put in more effort. This skeleton is about to be unable to endure any longer." Old ghost Zhai Xing looked at the increasingly faint scarlet colour on the skeleton"s body. A great joy involuntarily flashed across his face as he cried out loud.
The others acted as though they did not hear anything in the face of his words. This skeleton was extremely troublesome to deal with. Its ability to resist attacks could only be described as perverse. This seemingly weak skeleton was able to endure against so many attacks from the combination of the five of them without showing any signs of cracking. If it was not because of the increasingly faint scarlet colour that indicated that their attacks still had some effect, it was likely that even they would lose their confidence.
"Bang bang bang!"
The vast and mighty Dou Qi was just like a falling star as it tore through the sky and heavily exploded on the body of the Dou Sheng skeleton. A frightening strength shook the unusually hard and firm large hall until numerous arm thick crack lines were formed.
Under the wild and fierce attacks by Xiao Yan"s five men group, the scarlet colour on the Dou Sheng"s skeleton became increasingly faint. The red glow in its eyes was leaping in an increasingly intense manner. At this moment, his body had also suddenly stiffened.
Old ghost Zhai Xing and the others were startled when they saw that the Dou Sheng skeleton had suddenly ceased moving. Immediately, they grabbed this opportunity. A storm like attack continuously poured downwards. Xiao Yan"s heart also became a little uneasy when he was unleas.h.i.+ng his attack. An elite Dou Sheng was far too powerful. Even a trace of remanent spiritual imprint would likely not be finished off in such an easy manner…
"Quick, leave the hall!"
Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and transmitted a voice in the direction where Little Fairy Doctor"s group was at. The latter, who received this transmission, were startled. Before they could inquire anything, the entire group had already swiftly pulled back.
"Roar!"
Frightening attacks blasted apart on the surface of this Dou Sheng skeleton"s body like fireworks. It paused for a moment before suddenly lifting its head. A somewhat vague low and deep hoa.r.s.e voice appeared to be quietly emitted from the ancient times…
"Great… Heaven… Creation… Palm!"
A hoa.r.s.e and ancient halting sound was transmitted into Xiao Yan"s ear. It caused all the hair on his skin to suddenly stand up. A kind of extremely dangerous feeling spread apart from deep within the soul. Being driven by the horror of facing death, Xiao Yan had basically turned around almost instantly. Silver light flashed under his feet as he went all out to rush towards the distance.
"It is using a Dou Technique, withdraw quickly!"
While Xiao Yan had turned around and fled, Tang Zhen and the rest had also discovered something unusual. A shocked expression surged up their faces almost instantly. After which, they could not be bothered about anything as they hurriedly turned around and fled like mice.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.ds…"
The face of old ghost Zhai Xing turned green when he saw Tang Zhen and the rest fleeing almost instantly. He cursed furiously. While he cursed, however, his fleeing speed was also not the least bit slow. He had already fled over a hundred metres with a flash.
Xiao Yan"s group, which had suddenly fled in a miserable manner, also stirred the attention of everyone in the large hall. Although they were unaware of what happened, they understood that it was definitely something really bad. Immediately, they claw and rolled as they hurriedly pulled back. In an instant, the entire large hall had once again become extremely chaotic.
During the time when the large hall was in a chaos, the scarlet colour of the Dou Sheng skeleton"s body appeared to have become alive. It completely gathered on the skeleton"s hand. In an instant, it had already dyed the right hand until it appeared to have been immersed in blood for countless number of years. It was so dark and deep that it caused one to feel a chill within one"s heart.
"Roar!"
When the final trace of blood gathered onto the right palm, a soybean size black dot suddenly appeared at the palm of the Dou Sheng skeleton. This black spot was really of an extreme pure black. If one was to glance at it, even one"s soul would appear to be swallowed into it. It was extremely strange.
The Dou Sheng skeleton suddenly raised its hand when the black coloured small dot appeared. After which, it smashed heavily on the incomparably hard ground of the hall.
The stone floor did not emit any sound when the bone palm landed. The moment it made contact, the incomparably hard stone floor instantly disappeared, revealing the deep brown colour rock under it.
"Chi!"
The ground disappeared. A black light circle suddenly surface from the stone floor. After which… it suddenly spread!
Chi chi chi!
The black light scattered. Countless number of people immediately became extremely shocked. Regardless of whether it was the stone floor, the stone pillar or any other thing, any place where the black circle reached would disappear. It had truly disappeared. Not even a little of it remained…
This kind of feeling was just like a black hole, appearing mysterious and frightening.
"Quick, run!"
The frightening scene caused everyone to feel their skin become numb. This was especially the case when they saw that the black light circle was still continuing to spread. Their hearts had all become tensed as their bodies hurriedly withdrew.
"Ah!"
They ran quickly but the spreading of the black light was even quicker. The thing that was even more shocking was that the interior of the light circle had erupted into an extremely frightening suction force. Some of the experts that were caught off-guard had directly been forcefully pulled until they flew out. They disappeared when they touched the black light circle and did not even leave any dregs behind…
The sharp miserable cry sounded one after another within the large hall. In an instant, numerous human figures began to struggle wildly within the midair. However, they were unable to resist that suction force. Finally, they were absorbed into the black light circle and annihilated…
Xiao Yan"s heart became numb when he heard the continuously miserable scream appearing. This kind of Dou Technique was definitely of the Tian cla.s.s!
"Chi!"
Xiao Yan"s figure, which was rus.h.i.+ng explosively, suddenly paused. His expression also suddenly changed. The suction force from behind was becoming increasingly frightening. It was already sufficient to affect his speed.
Xiao Yan clenched his teeth tightly. His speed had been unleashed to its limit at this moment. Purple-brown flame lingered over his body. There were some repeated miserable screams continuously appearing in front of him as human figures flew out in an uncontrollable manner. The miserable screams from imminent death caused the hearts of everyone who head them to feel a chill.
The black light circle was just like a death G.o.d after one"s life. It swiftly spread from the large hall. The entire large hall was also completely annihilated at this moment…
"The suction force is becoming increasingly strong. We must escape. Otherwise, we will definitely be sucked into it."
Xiao Yan suddenly clenched his teeth as he sensed the increasingly strong suction force from behind. He actually forcefully turned his body around.
"Flame Splitting Tsunami!"
"Open Mountain Seal! Sea Flipping Seal…"
Numerous unusually fierce attacks rushed out from Xiao Yan"s hand. After which, it shot out violently. With the help of this thrust, Xiao Yan"s figure also rushed backwards swiftly. However, these attacks that had shot out automatically disappeared when it spread to the black coloured light circle. The latter"s spreading rate was not even halted for an instant.
"Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body!"
Xiao Yan"s hand seal changed once again. A spiritual avatar directly appeared in front of him. After which, he violently swung his feet onto the shoulders of this avatar. Under the push force, Xiao yan"s body immediately emitted a "swoosh" sound as he finally shot out of this large hall and heavily landed on the square outside. That avatar crushed onto the black light circle under the opposite push force and was quickly destroyed.
"Screech!"
After Xiao Yan escaped and rose upwards, the black robed old man a short distance behind him also suddenly let out a sharp cry. His entire body shook as he transformed into a ten feet large Heaven Demon Phoenix. Both of his wings were flapped and he finally escaped from that frightening suction force. After which, he rushed out in an extremely miserable manner and collided violently on the corridor outside.
Tang Zhen, Bing He zun-zhe, old ghost Zhai Xing and the rest also stake their own lives and raised their speed to their limits when Huang Xuan began to go all out. Finally, they charged out of the large hall at the last moment and miserably landed on a square.
Chi!
Everyone outside of the large hall were extremely frightened as they looked at the strange black light circle that spread within the hall. Fortunately, the latter had gradually halted when it had reached the edge of the square. Finally, it slowly disappeared in front of the gazes from the numerous survivors.
After the black light circle disappeared, a thousand feet large big deep hole appeared in front of everyone"s gazes. At this moment, the s.p.a.cious main hall… did not even have the least bit of dross remaining.
"Gulp!"
Xiao Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. He had really sensed death earlier. It was likely that even if old ghost Zhai Xing and the others were to meet with the black light circle earlier, they would also definitely end up dying!
Xiao Yan inhaled a couple of deep breath. He suppressed the great storm within his heart as his eyes paused on the midair within the large hall. A jade white skeleton was standing in the midair. The red glow within its eyes had completely disappeared at this moment. Clearly, the remanent spiritual imprint left behind by that elite Dou Sheng had also completely disappeared at this moment.
"Tian cla.s.s Dou Technique…"
Xiao Yan"s eyes stared intently at the jade white skeleton. A shocking heat suddenly erupted from his eyes.
