People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 152 One of the reasons why Demon Flame Valley targeted Canaan Academy
In Cao Xi's view, there are actually many ways to deal with this old demon.

Whether it's the ancient clan behind Chen Xiao or the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan behind Zi Yan, they only need to send a message back and send out any powerful expert to easily deal with them.

If all else fails, the Cao family can help. As long as Chen Xiao is willing to ask, those in the family who are stronger than him will definitely rush to help.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao didn't seem to have such intentions.

Based on all of the above, from the moment Chen Xiao had designs on the old demon, in Cao Xi's eyes, this old guy was already a dead man.

Faced with Cao Xi's merciless sarcasm, the old demon's dark face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and his eyes were churning with almost tangible anger.

His pupils contracted slightly, and his withered fingers cracked as he clenched them: "In that case, this old man will have to learn from you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Earth Demon Old Ghost's fighting spirit surged wildly. With a wave of his hand, streams of dark, icy energy surged like ink clouds, and a black ghost claw emanating a chilling aura suddenly condensed in his palm, carrying a sharp gust of wind as it rushed straight towards Cao Xi's face.

Before the onlookers above and below could even discern the trajectory, Cao Xi appeared calm and composed. With a slight twist of his wrist, a gilded iron rod shot out from the air. The crimson patterns swirling around the rod unleashed tremendous force, crashing down like a pillar supporting the sky.

"Boom!"

A blast of air exploded, and the dark, ghostly claw crumbled inch by inch, the flying ice crystals dissipating into mist in mid-air.

The old demon's pupils shrank suddenly, and Chen Xiao, who was watching the battle from a distance, was also surprised.

The usually stern and unsmiling fourth elder of the Cao family seems to be stronger than expected.

After careful consideration, Chen Xiao realized that although he had had a lot of contact with Cao Xi since they met, he had never seen him go all out. Even when they were besieging the old man of Eagle Mountain, they were outnumbered and had an absolute advantage.

Moreover, he seemed to have overlooked Cao Xi's identity. In the eyes of some of the younger generation of the Cao family in Zhongzhou, Cao Xi was the iron-blooded elder in charge of the clan rules and regulations.

In terms of strength and combat power, it's impossible for them to be lacking.

In addition, the Earth Demon Old Ghost is of the ice attribute, while Cao Xi is of the fire attribute. When their strengths are not much different, ordinary people of the ice attribute will inevitably suffer some losses when facing a strong person of the fire attribute.

Moreover, the old demon's attack just now was meant to test the waters, which made Cao Xi appear even more imposing.

Regardless, Chen Xiao was in a very good mood after realizing that he had underestimated Cao Xi.

In this way, the chances of catching the old demon today are even greater.

As soon as Chen Xiao had a thought, the Heavenly Demon Puppet in the distance also started to move, and together with Cao Xi, they attacked the Earth Demon Old Ghost from the front and back.

Unwilling to lag behind, Cai Lin took a step forward and joined the battle.

"Be careful," Chen Xiao warned.

Without turning his head, Cai Lin nodded slightly and raised his hand, sending a seven-colored streak of light towards the old demon.

As the battle at the Dou Zong level was about to begin, Chen Xiaofei retreated to the edge of the battlefield.

When traveling, one must be self-aware. Just because he can unleash attacks comparable to a Dou Zong expert does not mean he is qualified to participate in such a battle. Given his current situation, it is acceptable for him to watch from the sidelines and find an opportunity to cause some trouble for the old demon. However, if he actually gets involved, it will only make Cai Lin and Cao Xi feel constrained.

Above the sky, three powerful Dou Zong experts engaged in a life-or-death battle with a puppet whose strength was no weaker than a four-star Dou Zong. Various Dou Qi clashed fiercely like a dazzling galaxy, and the interweaving of light and shadow was mesmerizing.

Terrifying energy shockwaves surged forth, sweeping across the heavens and earth like a tsunami, and collapsing like mountains!

Everyone stared in horror at the sky, where spiderweb-like spatial rifts were constantly bursting open in the battle zone, only to be twisted and reformed again under the impact of energy.

This shows just how terrifying a Dou Zong level expert is!
Chen Xiao was closest to the battlefield, so he had a more direct view of it.

As expected, after Cao Xi joined the battle, even a powerful figure like the Earth Demon Old Ghost was forced to a disadvantage.

But this old guy lived up to his reputation as a veteran powerhouse in the Black Corner Region. He was incredibly resilient. Although the combined attacks from Cai Lin, Cao Xi, and the Heavenly Demon Puppet put a lot of pressure on him, they were not enough to completely crush him.

Or to put it more appropriately, if this situation continues, it will take a very, very long time to turn the advantage into a victory.

It might take an hour, or even longer!

This is not what Chen Xiao wanted to see.

Delay will lead to change!

With a sudden thought, Chen Xiao began to observe the battle while simultaneously circulating his soul cultivation technique to recover his greatly depleted soul power.

In an instant, the special power of the Nine Nether Soul Codex manifested once again, an invisible and intangible aura spreading outwards from Chen Xiao as the center.

The three people and one puppet in the battle, except for the soulless Heavenly Demon Puppet, were all affected at the same moment and lost their focus for a moment.

However, Cai Lin and Cao Xi were already used to this situation and recovered more quickly, while the old demon was half a breath slower.

In a battle between the strong, a single breath can determine the outcome.

Half a breath was not enough to kill the old demon on the spot, but under the bombardment of the two people and the puppet, he suffered a loss and his defense was a bit rushed. He was knocked back hundreds of feet before he could stabilize himself.

"You're courting death!" The old demon snorted angrily, quickly adjusted his strategy, and raised his hand to send a beam of battle qi shooting towards Chen Xiao.

This situation is just like when Chen Xiao dealt with the Second Elder before, all in order to force Fang Yan to come to his aid and thus relieve the pressure in front of him.

As he expected, seeing that the old demon had locked onto Chen Xiao, apart from the Heavenly Demon Puppet who only knew how to follow orders, Cai Lin and Cao Xi couldn't help but want to fly over and intercept him.

If something were to happen to Chen Xiao, the main character, then what would be the point of them fighting against the Earth Demon Old Ghost?

However, at that moment, a familiar, aged voice finally rang out.

"Fortunately, I'm not too late. That old devil, the Demon Flame Valley has been attacking my academy's students repeatedly. It's time to settle our old scores today!"

Before the person appeared, the shadow of the fist arrived first.

The old demon of the earth casually swung out a stream of battle qi that was enough to make even a Dou Huang powerhouse look up to it. Under that fist shadow, it shattered instantly!

Immediately following, Su Qian, dressed in a white robe, slowly appeared.

From the moment he received the news, he rushed towards Zixiao City without stopping, and now he has finally made it in time.

As long as there is an opportunity to deal with the Earth Demon Old Ghost, Su Qian is willing to lend a hand even if Chen Xiao doesn't say anything, or even if it is someone else.

After all, Demon Flame Valley and Canaan Academy have a long-standing feud!
"Great Elder."

Chen Xiao nodded to Su Qian in greeting.

With Su Qian's arrival, all of his top combatants were present. The addition of this Dou Zong expert only made the already slightly disadvantaged Earth Demon Old Ghost's situation even more difficult.
Su Qian nodded slightly, and without saying much, took a step forward and joined the battle without hesitation.

“Mang Tianchi is a man of some stature. Although I am not afraid of him, I respect him. I never expected that your lackey would stoop so low as to collude with Zixiao Pavilion.”

Upon seeing Su Qian enter, the old demon of the earth revealed a sneer.

At this moment, he deeply regretted rushing to seek revenge. If he had secluded himself for another year or two, the old demon would have been confident of breaking through to the Seven Star Dou Zong level.

Once he reaches the level of a high-ranking Dou Zong, he will be completely fearless even when facing these three people and a puppet.

But now, he truly felt death approaching.

Six stars and seven stars, a difference of just one star, yet the difference is like heaven and earth!

Hearing the old demon's 'childish' remarks, Su Qian couldn't help but laugh.

"If you had dared to show your face before the Dean left, I would have believed you. You old devil, others may not know where the feud between Demon Flame Valley and Canaan Academy comes from, but you and I know perfectly well. All these years, Demon Flame Valley has been targeting Canaan Academy at every turn, simply because you were suppressed too much by the Dean more than ten years ago. Don't you find it ridiculous to say such things now?"

"Furthermore, Chen Xiao is a student of my inner academy. You didn't know that even now?"

His boastful words were ruthlessly exposed, and the old demon was furious and embarrassed. He remained silent, his ten fingers twitching.

In an instant, countless black ice spikes appeared out of the fingertips, then shot out in a massive burst towards the three people and the puppet around them.

As the pressure mounted, the old demon dared not hold back any longer and took the initiative to unleash his fighting skills.

Those black ice spikes, resembling raindrops, may seem inconspicuous, but the force they contain is terrifying. Not to mention their overwhelming presence, even a single spike could probably kill a Dou Huang expert. This shows that this little thing is not as cute as its size suggests.

The black ice spikes tore through the gale and shot towards them. In an instant, the three people and the puppet reacted simultaneously.

Cao Xi's long staff moved like a dragon, drawing layers of fiery red shadows in the air. As the wind howled, ice spikes collided with the staff shadows, scattering fine ice crystals.

With a light flick of her jade-like hand, the seven-colored battle aura spread out like a dazzling rainbow, causing ice spikes to shatter and fall wherever it passed.

Su Qian unleashed a powerful punch, its ten-foot-long shadow carrying an overwhelming force that shattered all the ice spikes, leaving him completely unharmed.

Although the Earth Demon Old Ghost is strong, it is still too naive to think that he can suppress everyone with a group attack.

After all, each of them is a genuine Dou Zong powerhouse!
On the other side, the Heavenly Demon Puppet was even more eye-catching. It felt no pain and let the black ice spikes strike its metallic body, producing a continuous clanging sound. Despite the onslaught, it charged forward and counterattacked the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

"Icy Condensation Sword Technique!"

Seeing the three of them easily dispel the black ice spikes that filled the sky, the approaching Heavenly Demon Puppet, as large as a mountain, made the old demon ghost even more apprehensive.

He roared in retaliation, his figure retreating like a ghost, his withered fingers rapidly changing hand seals, each movement carrying a chilling aura.

As soon as the shout fell, the remaining black ice spikes seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rapidly converging like crows returning to their nests. In the blink of an eye, thousands of ice spikes merged into a pitch-black ice sword more than ten feet wide. An eerie light flowed across the cold blade, and a chilling aura capable of freezing the soul burst forth from the sword, causing the air to condense into frost wherever it passed.

The old demon pointed at the Heavenly Demon Puppet, and in an instant, the incomparably sharp sword tip, carrying the force of thunder, pierced heavily into the Heavenly Demon Puppet's chest, bursting out dazzling sparks and carving a hideous wound on the Heavenly Demon Puppet's chest!
Under the immense impact, the Heavenly Demon Puppet was blasted back a thousand feet before it could finally regain its footing.

The sheer terror of a six-star Dou Zong in full power is evident!
In other words, the Heavenly Demon Puppet felt no pain or sensation. If this attack were delivered to an ordinary four-star Dou Zong, it would have caused irreparable damage.
