Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 613 You also have a Heavenly Venerable Token?! (5k)

The old ghost who picks stars smiled faintly:
"When you two were in the Black Corner Region, it was inconvenient for me to take action. But I never expected that you would make such a name for yourselves in the Central Continent. It is truly a surprise to me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression immediately darkened.

That projection of the Dou Zun was not completely destroyed back then!

In other words, not only the people in front of them, but even the old man Mu Gu already knew their identities and were lurking in the shadows like venomous scorpions.

"."

Hun Ruoruo fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.

After a while, she gently put Xiao Yan down, and then, under his surprised gaze, walked forward step by step.

"I'll hold them off," the girl said softly.

"Ruoruo."

Xiao Yan's pupils contracted. His long-standing connection with Hun Ruoruo allowed him to truly feel her determination at this moment, and he was unable to utter any words of dissuasion.

"Half a quarter of an hour." Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan lowered his voice and said.

His vital essence began to burn again, and a trace of color returned to his pale face. The young man's expression had now become completely calm.

"laugh!"

The ethereal flames ignited first, swirling and roaring around Xiao Yan's side.

Immediately afterwards, all the flames contained within the Burning Technique—cyan, transparent, and black and white—surged out, transforming into a halo of light like a spinning wheel, making Xiao Yan's body appear like a young god, rising majestically.

The girl in front of Xiao Yan flapped her wings again and soared forward!

"This kid is indeed a bit strange." Venerable Zhaixing looked at the flames surrounding Xiao Yan, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

The power of the strange fire is already well-known, not to mention that the opponent possesses not just one, but four!

Even the flame that shimmered with black and gold light was more terrifying than the other strange flames, no wonder even someone as discerning as Mu Gu couldn't forget it.

"Capture that woman, and remember, don't give her any chance to breathe!" With that thought in mind, Old Ghost Zhaixing smiled coldly and gave the order to Binghe.

With a single step, a vast expanse of black mist swirled behind him, its oppressive aura causing even the auras of many Soul Hall experts below to become stagnant.

As a genuine peak five-star Dou Zun, his foundation was naturally far beyond what Binghe could match. As soon as he made a move, he displayed terrifying strength that was enough to make people despair.

However, facing the combined attack of Binghe and Zhaixing, Hun Ruoruo did not attempt to defend herself. Instead, she suddenly turned around and sped towards the location of the Soul Palace's Soul Envoy and Protector below!

With the boost from her flying combat skills, Hun Ruoruo's speed instantly broke through the limit, and even Zhaixing and the other two were stunned for a moment.

In that brief moment, the hundred soul envoys guarding the area below had already died silently, without even uttering a scream, their faces still showing disbelief and blankness.

"What?!"

Everyone, including the dozens of guardians at the head, was utterly astonished at the sudden attack of the girl.

In a battle between the strong, it has always been a clash between generals and kings.

Even with their numerical advantage, low-level cultivators are still extremely vulnerable when facing high-level cultivators, let alone a powerhouse like Hun Ruoruo who is comparable to a Dou Zun.

Is she setting her sights on these people because she's planning to give up entirely?
But in just a moment, Zhaixing's previously disdainful face suddenly changed color.

"She...she's actually absorbing living souls!"

Improving one's strength by devouring souls is one of the methods that the Soul Palace excels at.

That's why he was so aware of just how shocking the girl's actions were.

"Absorb living souls?" Hyoga was clearly at a loss.

"Even I cannot incorporate a living soul into my body without refining it," Zhaixing said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Hyoga's expression changed drastically.

What is the identity of the Old Ghost Zhaixing? Besides being the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace, he is also the superior of the Venerable Qinghai and the Palace Master of the Branch Hall of the Dead Souls!
Even a branch hall master couldn't accomplish this, so how could a mere junior from the Sound Valley possibly possess such incredible abilities?!
"Then us"

"Don't stop us," the old ghost said coldly. "Attack where they must defend!"

Without hesitation, the Old Ghost of Stars flashed and instantly charged towards Xiao Yan.

"tsk"

Seeing that no one was stopping her, Hun Ruoruo clicked her tongue and her eyes darkened.

As expected of the Soul Palace Celestial Venerable, the Old Ghost of the Stars saw through her intentions in an instant and launched a counterattack.

However, despite this, Hun Ruoruo did not show much worry on her face. With a flap of her wings, dozens of soul envoys had their souls extracted.

She knew very well that with her current strength, it was absolutely impossible for her to hold off the two opponents head-on.

There is only one way to successfully stop them.

That is... advancing to the Dou Zun level!

"Damn."

Hun Ruoruo let out a soft moan.

Even though her mother's life is no longer in danger, the tragic state of Yin Gu and the aftereffects of using 'Fanghua Annihilation' still caused her endless torment and pain.

She thought that losing everything was the limit.

What's more painful than losing something is having had it at all.
That tiny happiness, uniquely hers.

Looking up again, Hun Ruoruo's eyes, which were filled with tears of pain, suddenly flashed with a chilling killing intent. Her hoarse voice uttered each word from her pale lips.

"You old bastard, whether we win or not today, you must die!"

"Even if you are condemned by Heaven, even if you fall into the abyss and are condemned to eternal damnation, you will all be annihilated here!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his wings, which were originally ten feet long, stretched out to the fullest extent, like wings that drooped like clouds. With a flap of his wings, endless black feathers poured down like a torrential downpour!

"Bah!"

In an instant, the soul envoy who came into contact with the black feather fell from the sky with a wail. The pain of having one's soul forcibly pulled out of one's body was even worse than being skinned alive.

Countless voices, filled with anger, fear, and pleas for mercy, rose and fell, yet no one could break free. Only souls, flowing rapidly out of the black feathers, trickled into the girl's body like countless streams.

"Weird. Monster!"

A bloodcurdling scream rang out, and all the members of the Soul Palace were terrified.

They never imagined that anyone in the world would dare to eat the people of the Soul Palace!
How arrogant! How provocative!
"die."

Beneath the black feathers, a pair of deep eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with an eerie purple light.

Wherever the gaze fell, all the living souls seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rushing rapidly into the girl's body.

In just a few breaths, a thousand people had already perished!

"Damn it!"

Seeing the increasingly powerful fluctuations emanating from the girl's body, Old Ghost Zhaixing's expression finally turned ugly.

"Strike quickly, don't give that woman a chance!"

With a fierce shout, his pair of ghostly hands slashed down, piercing Xiao Yan's body with lightning speed.

However, when the ghostly hand pierced through the chest, the expected blood did not appear. Instead, it was as easy and decisive as tearing a piece of cloth.

"Ok?"

The old ghost who was picking stars was surprised. He looked closely and saw that the young man's body had been twisting violently like a bubble, and then exploded into countless points of light in an instant.

"This, this is..." A look of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the Star-Picking Old Ghost, which then turned into incredulous rage: "A clone technique!"

A mere mid-level Dou Zong kid actually tricked him!

"Do you really think Ruoruo would be like you, disregarding her own people?"

Xiao Yan's figure quietly appeared, and the remaining soul power on his body was clearly the fluctuation of a disguised fighting technique!
Looking at the old man with a gloomy face, he sneered and said indifferently, "Idiot."

As the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace, the Star-Picking Old Ghost's cunning was so profound that words could not sway him.

Seeing the Soul Palace members suffering heavy casualties while Xiao Yan remained unaffected, even with his temperament, he found it hard to contain himself, and his face twitched violently.

"Little thing!" However, before he could make any move, a dark shadow flashed over and appeared directly beside Xiao Yan.

Hun Ruoruo was surrounded by swirling water, like a raging torrent, and against the backdrop of her black wings, she resembled a fallen goddess, both holy and alluring.
"You old bastards, you deserve to go to hell."

The girl's once clear and melodious voice now sounded like a demonic voice, each word carrying an unimaginable pressure on the soul, as if it could make one's soul disappear in an instant.

"Just you?"

Enraged, Old Ghost Zhaixing laughed and shot out without hesitation. Endless soul chains condensed into two enormous black pythons, connecting to his back.

Binghe, standing to the side, also dared not be negligent. Knowing the threat posed by the girl, he even used the power of the origin of the Calamity Poison Body, determined to nip the calamity in the bud.

Having fought to this point, interests, power, and hatred are no longer things he cares about.

He was absolutely certain that if these two were not eliminated today, Ice Valley would surely perish at the hands of the enemy!
Faced with the combined attack of two five-star Dou Zun, Hun Ruoruo did not choose to dodge this time. She raised her hand and a huge torrent instantly condensed, colliding with the two's attack.

"boom!!!"

A colossal wave surged within the Sea of ​​Souls, and Soul Ruoruo coughed up blood repeatedly, yet the madness in her eyes deepened. She laughed eerily, "Today, I will use your Dou Zun power to help me become a Zun!"

"Soul Sea Salvation!"

The girl let out a sharp cry, and the countless souls that were originally merged into the sea of ​​souls seemed to be guided by an invisible force, slowly crawling out of the sea.

However, compared to the usual peace and silence, the ghosts at this moment appeared extremely violent, like vengeful spirits seeking death, ferocious and venomous.

Undeterred, they roared and charged forward, clashing with the two old ghosts, desperately tearing at their fighting spirit and bodies.

How powerful is the power of a Dou Zun? Even a tiny bit of it is enough to burst a mere soul, yet they showed no fear, greedily devouring a wisp of Dou Qi before exploding and turning it into nourishment for their soul sea.

"What kind of fighting technique is this?!"

Even with his extensive experience, the old ghost of the stars couldn't help but feel a sense of extreme fear in this situation.

She's actually feeding on her own fighting spirit!
The old ghost tried to retreat, but felt as if his body had sunk into the sea, completely unable to break free.

"By using her battle qi, she has broken through to the Dou Zun realm through an unorthodox method. Her foundation is bound to be unstable, and she absolutely cannot continue like this for too long!"

He roared, and his fighting spirit condensed wildly, transforming into countless streaks that bombarded his soul sea.

As expected, with each strike that landed on her soul sea, the girl's face paled a little more, blood kept spilling from the corners of her mouth, but the madness in her eyes grew stronger.

"A one-star Dou Zun, is that really not enough?"

However, just as she was about to cut her wrist again and forcefully use Xuan Yuan, a large hand suddenly gripped her arm tightly.

"No." Xiao Yan stood in front of the girl, his eyes filled with gentleness and calm. "That's enough."

"Let the men handle the rest."

You suddenly lost your senses.

The young man's words were so gentle, but to her ears they were filled with resentment and ruthlessness.

Yes, he was so proud that he never wanted to be inferior to me.

Once upon a time, he was so enraged by the humiliation his father suffered that he made a three-year pact to confront the then-powerful Yunlan Sect.

Once upon a time, simply because he didn't want to hide behind a woman, he, with his mere Dou Ling physique, withstood a fatal blow from a Dou Zong.

How could a man like that, the man I've chosen, possibly be content to hide behind someone else?
He, too, was holding back a grudge.

"If you want to go crazy, I'll go with you."

Hun Ruoruo's eyes, though seemingly calm, held no tenderness, only an unwavering resolve, passionate and undisguised.

Taking a deep breath, when Xiao Yan turned around again, his eyes were now filled with rage.

He raised his hand and beckoned, and a purplish-red crystal brooch appeared silently in his palm without him even noticing.

As the battle qi was injected, the crystal brooch suddenly shone brightly. Immediately afterwards, a ball of flame, faintly shimmering with silver light, suddenly rose up, and nine dragon-like phantoms weaved through it.

"That's... the inherited flame of Burning Flame Valley?!"

Hyoga was the first to recognize the origin of the flames in the other's hand, and screamed as if he had seen a ghost:

"How is this possible? Why would Tang Zhen entrust such a priceless treasure to you? Does he intend to destroy Burning Flame Valley?!"

The flame in Xiao Yan's palm was none other than the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, the inherited flame of the Burning Flame Valley!

"Even if it is just a spark, it is enough to leave you all here today."

Xiao Yan's calm voice drifted over, yet it carried a madness no less intense than that of Hun Ruoruo.

One-tenth, two-tenths of the remaining nine-tenths of essence blood in the body suddenly began to burn violently at an exaggerated speed!
At this moment, Xiao Yan's strength was soaring, reaching the most glorious peak of his life. He shielded the girl behind him and roared to the sky:

"melt!"

The next moment, the silver flames, commanded by Xiao Yan, roared and plunged into the illusory fire lotus.

Five wondrous flames of different colors—blue, black-gold, black-and-white, transparent, and silver—suddenly ignited simultaneously, and a delicate black lotus, less than half a foot long, silently appeared between heaven and earth.

A deafening roar erupted from the heavens, and the once azure sky seemed to be shrouded in endless gloom, as if the heavens were wrathful and judging the world.

Purify all things and shake the heavens!

"Destroy the Fire Lotus, go!"

With Xiao Yan's command, the heavens and earth trembled violently, and strange phenomena arose simultaneously.

The Soul Palace members, who had already suffered heavy casualties, were pulverized into dust under this cataclysmic shockwave without even being touched by the aftershocks of the Black Lotus.

At this moment, the world was utterly silent.

The powerful fluctuations, like the might of the heavens, made the old ghost of the stars look pale. Finally, unable to suppress his fear any longer, he fled frantically.

However, that invisible pressure was like an insurmountable mountain, making it impossible for him to even use a fraction of his strength.

Layer upon layer of air waves, mixed with oppressive force, assaulted Xiao Yan, whose body temperature was rapidly dropping. Despite his last breath, Xiao Yan resolutely pulled the girl into his arms.

"I will never stand behind you again." Xiao Yan's voice came intermittently.

"Star-Picking Old Ghost!!" Hun Ruoruo clenched her fists tightly, blood seeping through her fingers.

She knew this was Xiao Yan's pride, but she could never forgive the evil before her eyes.

"no no!!"

The Old Ghost of Stars kicked the icy river, using it as a shield to desperately defend against the impending fire lotus. He then raised his hand, took out a token radiating a profound and eerie energy, and frantically activated it, roaring:

"How could I possibly die here? Absolutely impossible!"

"Want to call more people?"

Hun Ruoruo held the young man whose life force was gradually dissipating, her eyes now filled with a demonic sinister light:

"You old bastard, you're no match for me in terms of strength, and in terms of connections, you're nothing but scum!"

"Today, I'll make sure you die knowing why!!"

Before the token in the old ghost's hand could react, a strange purplish-gray light also shone from the girl's hand.

Gazing at the light that was far deeper and more sinister than the one in his own hand, Old Ghost Zhaixing felt as if an invisible hand had gripped his throat.

He couldn't even feel anger; only endless fear and horror filled every corner of his body and soul.

How could this be?

"How could this be?" The old ghost's cold and indifferent face was now twisted beyond recognition.
"You actually possess the Celestial Venerable's Token?!"

As the purple light shone, endless, chilling black mist suddenly enveloped the entire world.

The barrier that had originally sealed off the Sound Valley was now as fragile as paper, shattering into countless points of light.

“Tattoo.”

The previously pervasive black mist suddenly condensed into a vast road, and in the next moment, a majestic figure, towering and imposing, silently appeared in the center of the sky.

In his palm, the Heavenly Venerable Token, which had been emitting a dark fluctuation, had somehow returned to its lifeless state, while the Black Lotus, which was powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, floated quietly in the center, like a most exquisite ornamental object.

With a wave of his hand, the black lotus vanished silently, and a deep, steady sigh, as steady as a mountain, slowly resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"In just nine years, Miss has grown to such an extent; this truly surprises me."
