Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 612 Death and Life
The ghostly claws struck, yet there was not the slightest fluctuation of power; they were like a hazy mist, ethereal and unpredictable, devoid of any trace of fire or smoke.

Yet this seemingly harmless attack caused Xiao Yan's body to suddenly stiffen, alarm bells to ring in his mind, and his heart to pound so hard it felt like it would burst.

dead.

The gloomy aura, like stagnant water, constantly stimulated Xiao Yan's nerves, and the chill instantly spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, chilling him to the bone.

He had a premonition that if she withstood this attack, the girl would truly be plunged into an abyss of no return, and no one could save her.
"It's strength again."

Xiao Yan knew very well that the reason the enemy chose to attack Hun Ruoruo was simply because they shared the same thoughts as Hun Ruoruo, trying to gain an absolute advantage by injuring her.

Hun Ruoruo, whose threat was far greater than Xiao Yan's, naturally became the target of the enemy's hunt.

The people of the Soul Palace are indeed as venomous as snakes and scorpions!

Remembering Hun Ruoruo's earlier hint, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth until they almost broke, and streaks of blood appeared on his eyes. He forcibly suspended his body in mid-air.

"Ahhh!!"

Killing intent, hatred, fear—unprecedented negative emotions surged forth, then transformed into a hoarse and terrifying voice, far more terrifying than any demon, squeezed from Xiao Yan's throat, like an abyss that could topple the world.

The next moment, Xiao Yan's bones burst open, and he turned his body in mid-air at an angle that defied the rules and constraints, instantly rushing towards the girl!

"Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations: Yin and Yang Transformation!"

"Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations: Glazed Transformation!!"

"The Three Mysterious Transformations of Skyfire into Black Flame Transformation!!!"

Xiao Yan roared hysterically, and layer upon layer of amplification enveloped his body, causing his bronze-cast-iron physique to distort slightly.

The Heavenly Flame Three Transformations requires an additional flame as a sacrifice for each level to be activated, but Xiao Yan is now using a full five different flames, each of which is a genuine exotic flame!

The unimaginable, violent energy caused the originally surging blood energy to turn into billowing smoke. Just its contact with the air was enough to distort space and cause elements to surge.

"Bang!" Xiao Yan's figure disappeared in an instant.

The black mist and the red light attacked from different angles, but they both had the same goal: to reach the girl in the sky.

"Ok?"

From the moment Xiao Yan turned around to the moment he approached, everything happened in an instant. Upon seeing the other party rushing towards him, the figure in the black mist immediately turned cold and, without the slightest hesitation, swooped down at an even faster speed.

"No one I choose to kill has ever escaped!"

Soaring blood energy blurred Xiao Yan's face. Facing the withered ghost hand that was only a few feet away from the girl, a thought flashed through his mind, and the essence blood in his body suddenly boiled violently as if it were evaporating.

In an instant, one-tenth of his essence blood was quietly burned into nothingness.

Looking again, the red light suddenly increased in speed, like a raging thunderbolt, instantly traversing the sky and blocking the girl's path.

"clang!!!!!"

The sound of metal colliding and exploding was like a giant bell covering the sky, emitting a shockwave that countless members of the Soul Hall had never experienced before.

In an instant, even the Ice Venerable's ears went completely deaf, leaving only a blank in his mind.

Xiao Yan's once healthy complexion had now turned completely silver-white, with only his pair of dark eyes radiating a dazzling golden light amidst his deep red blood.

"This is... puppetry?!" A surprised and uncertain voice came from within the black mist.

Without any hesitation, the ghost claw suddenly exerted its force, and the seemingly thin arm felt as heavy as a mountain pressing down on it.

Almost instantly, the sound of metal shattering rang out.

"Click!!"

A sharp pain, as if his bones were being crushed, struck Xiao Yan, causing his face to turn pale and spit out a mouthful of blood. Having arrived in haste, Xiao Yan had only managed to hold the Xuan Heavy Ruler horizontally in front of him, but even so, given the strength of his physical body and the hardness of the Xuan Heavy Ruler, it should possess considerable defensive power.

But to his surprise, even after burning his life essence, the gap between him and his opponent was still so vast that it was despairing!

"Soul Palace. Heavenly Venerable!" Xiao Yan stared intently at the black mist before him, blood and foam in his mouth.

"Crack, lad, you have a good eye." A hoarse voice, like that of a night owl, came from the black mist. "It wasn't for nothing that I've been searching for you two for so many years."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. With a shove of his heavy ruler, he used his last bit of strength to repel the old man's attack and retreated back to the girl's side.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xiao Yan coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face ashen, and his Lion Soul Lotus Heart Armor shattered into countless specks of light.

The weakness that followed the burning of his essence and blood made him gasp for breath and almost unable to stand.

He was absolutely certain that if it weren't for the support of the Triple Transformation and the Heavenly Demon Puppet Technique, he would never have been able to withstand that attack!

"Xiao Yan! How are you?"

Hun Ruoruo's eyes flashed with killing intent, but she did not show the slightest panic on her face. She quickly injected pure water fighting qi into Xiao Yan's body to repair his injuries.

Before the war began, she had Xiao Yan conceal his strength to prevent an ambush by the Soul Palace.

As expected, the two of them successfully thwarted the attack with their hidden Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, despite the huge cost. At least they prevented an irreversible situation from occurring.

However, given that the enemy was lurking in the shadows and the disparity in combat strength between the two sides, Xiao Yan's injuries were inevitable.

"It's alright, I just might not be able to fight for the time being." Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile, barely managing to sit up. "Thanks to this heavy ruler."

His gaze swept over the Xuanzhong Ruler, and when he saw the faint mark on the ruler, his words stopped abruptly, his eyes filled with horror.

That previous attack actually left a mark on the Xuanzhong Ruler?!
Since the old man gave him the Xuanzhong Ruler, no one has been able to budge it even a fraction. Yet the old man in black robes before him was able to leave a mark on it. What terrifying strength this is!

The space in front of the two "lucky lads" distorted, and the figure of the old man in black robes slowly appeared.

Since establishing his fearsome reputation in Zhongzhou, this was the first time he had failed in an assassination attempt, and the opponents were merely two greenhorns.

"Greetings, Celestial Venerable Zhaixing!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Binghe breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

Although both are five-star Dou Zun, Zhai Xing possesses a status that others cannot match—

That is none other than the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace!

As the true backbone of the Soul Palace, the Heavenly Venerable's strength and methods are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even as the Valley Master of Ice River Valley, he dared not show any disrespect.

"Celestial Venerable? It's actually the Star-Picking Celestial Venerable!"

"No wonder Lord Ice Venerable was not afraid of Yin Valley at all; it turns out Lord Star Picker had already laid an ambush here!"

"With two five-star Dou Zun arriving together, this kind of force is absolutely enough to flatten Yin Valley!!"

The members of the Soul Palace, who had been almost driven to the brink of despair by Hun Ruoruo and the other two, were now filled with ecstasy and relief.

They even suspected that if the old ghost Zhaixing hadn't arrived in time, even the Ice Venerable might not have been a match for the two of them.

Fortunately, the Celestial Venerable himself appeared!
"Little girl, stop trying to play any tricks. In the face of absolute strength, all of these are futile."

Seeing the slender figure carrying Xiao Yan slowly rise to his feet, Old Ghost Zhaixing smiled, his face now filled with a sinister expression:

"Today, no one can save you!"
