Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Therefore, if he were to be surrounded and attacked, his choice would seem perfectly reasonable.

"Encircle and kill, Soul-Severing Formation!"

Within the third squad, the members shouted softly, and their figures immediately blocked Xiao Fan and his group. Strands of dark battle qi pierced through the void, continuously entangling the blood-red figure.

His forward momentum was gradually neutralized, and he was eventually completely trapped in mid-air.

Chapter 20: Skill Showdown Revealed

"I... I'm not reconciled!"

It was as if they had foreseen their imprisonment and eventual demise.

The figure let out a fierce roar, and then, under everyone's gaze, his slightly illusory body gradually expanded. Finally, before the Soul-Severing Formation completely closed, it burst out with powerful energy fluctuations, spreading outwards.

"careful!"

In the third squad, most people were caught off guard by the self-destruction of a peak Dou Zun, and their faces showed fear.

It was then buried by the oncoming impact energy.

"boom!"

Terrifying energy spread outwards, and within this ancient battlefield of the underworld, which already suppressed the power of the soul, the people were even less able to sense what was happening.

"laugh!"

However, Hunze and Hunyu were quite strong, and they quickly sensed that Xiao Fan seemed to have set off.

Before they could think too much, the area affected by the explosion was once again filled with the energy of a battle, and the aura emanating from one of the people was none other than Xiao Fan.

"And there are big fish too!"

Hunze and Hunyu reacted immediately, rushing towards the center of the battle. While blocking the energy generated by the powerful figure's self-destruction, they gave orders to the other Heavenly Soul Guards.

"First squad, assemble immediately on the outer perimeter and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. Second and fourth squads, assemble and surround the area with formations. Be careful, everyone."

As for the third squad, they knew in their hearts that they had withstood the self-destruction of a peak Dou Zun head-on. At this point, it was already a miracle that they were still alive. How could they possibly have the strength to fight again?

With Hunze and Hunyu in command, the other teams of Heavenly Soul Guards also sprang into action, forming a formation together and heading towards the location from which the energy fluctuations were coming.

"Let's work together to quell the energy first!"

Hunze and Hunyu, one on the left and one on the right, attacked together, using the strength of the squad following behind them, to subdue the still rampant energy. The originally raging power gradually calmed down under their intervention.

As the raging energy subsided, the situation in the middle of the battlefield came into their view.

"boom!"

In the arena, Xiao Fan was fighting against a soul entity whose form was almost solidified. The aura emanating from this soul entity had already surpassed the peak of Dou Zun and reached the Half-Saint realm!

"A demigod!!"

Hunze and Hunyu looked at the soul entity that was fighting with Xiao Fan, and their eyes shone brightly!

The reason why the souls in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield are so sought after is because there is a chance to learn a trace of their fighting techniques by killing them.

However, only souls at the Dou Zong realm or above have the opportunity to comprehend it. Moreover, if the difference in strength is too great, such as a Dou Zun killing a soul at the Dou Zong realm, there is no chance to comprehend it.

This is a hidden benefit that has existed since the formation of the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield.

This is also speculated to be a way for the clan leader who created this ancient battlefield to inspire his disciples.

Souls at the Dou Zun realm and above have gradually awakened their consciousness, so killing them gives you a chance to gain their insights into cultivation.

Similarly, souls awakened at the Dou Zun realm are the most sought-after.

However, they did not expect that a half-saint level soul entity was hidden in this mission.

You should know that the insights gained after killing a half-saint level soul might be enough to open up your understanding of the Dou Sheng realm!

In the past, there were Soul Hall experts who had wasted half their lives at the peak of Dou Zun, but they earned the opportunity to enter the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield through their own contributions.

He fought desperately to kill a half-saint level soul, and finally broke through to the Dou Zun realm, entering the half-saint realm. After spending several hundred years in the half-saint realm, he finally broke through to the Dou Sheng realm!

Therefore, upon seeing this soul body at the half-saint realm, Hunze and Hunyu couldn't help but feel excited.

However, they also realized that along with this huge gain came a tremendous crisis.

The power of a demigod!

If their soul power hadn't been suppressed so much in this ancient battlefield of the underworld, they probably wouldn't have been a match for their opponents at all. So even with the support of the battle formation, they only dared to stay on the outer perimeter.

However, looking at Mo Shang, who was fighting back and forth with a half-saint level soul in the very center, they all felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Is this what a true prodigy is like?!"

Watching Xiao Fan unleash his punches, his fierce battle aura enveloping his body as he clashed with the half-saint.

Hunze and Hunyu felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't choose to antagonize them.

"Boom! Kid, how did you find that out?!"

Having been intercepted by Xiao Fan, this half-saint level soul entity understood that he was doomed to die!

Even if I manage to escape from the person in front of me today, I will have exposed my existence. The Soul Clan will endlessly send powerful warriors to hunt me down.

However, in his current state, he is unable to leave the area of ​​this Netherworld Ancient Battlefield.

Ironically, I, who had already perished in the great war, only regained the chance to live thanks to the Soul Clan's creation of this Netherworld Ancient Battlefield.

However, he felt extremely aggrieved.

He had been discovered several times before, but he used the peak Dou Zun soul he possessed to confuse the Soul Clan members and escape quietly.

I just don't know what kind of weirdo has arrived this time.

Despite the terrifying power of that self-explosion, it was still able to discover itself.

Moreover, the person in front of me is ridiculously powerful.

Despite his strength as a semi-saint, he was at a disadvantage in his battle with his opponent. The black flames on his opponent's body would burn his soul if he were to come into contact with them, which made him extremely frustrated.

Faced with the question from the semi-saint before him, Xiao Fan had no desire to answer.

He had already discovered the other party hiding in the shadows when he arrived here, which is why he ignored the soul body of the previous peak Dou Zun.

However, the appearance of this semi-saint soul body just happened to give Xiao Fan a reason to break through...

Otherwise, his breakthrough speed would be far too rapid, which would be extremely strange. And if he had obtained the cultivation insights of a semi-saint, it wouldn't be so obvious...

Moreover, the Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques obtained from completing previous missions can now be used openly and legitimately.

"So, you're definitely going to die..."

Looking at the soul before him, Xiao Fan had already made up his mind. Chaos Fire poured out, instantly enveloping him and the area where the soul was located.

"Ok?"

A pitch-black sea of ​​fire stretched across the void, blocking everyone's view and allowing Xiao Fan to act without restraint.

"laugh!"

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Fan mobilized the power of wind and thunder within his body and arrived before the half-saint.

He was unaware of Xiao Fan's identity and therefore did not know that these cultivation techniques and fighting skills were currently kept secret.

However, sensing the killing intent emanating from Xiao Fan, he also felt the aura of death emanating from Xiao Fan.

"Since you won't let me live, then I'll make you pay with your life!"

Seeing that Xiao Fan was persistent and unwilling to say a word, the half-saint's face turned ruthless, and he charged straight at Xiao Fan.

Chapter 21: Caught

The sky was obscured by pitch-black flames, and no one could see the battle between the two.

This allowed Xiao Fan to act without any reservations.

Seeing the other party charging towards him recklessly, Xiao Fan already understood what the other party wanted to do.

Having been able to hide in this Netherworld Ancient Battlefield for so many years, even willing to expose the soul of a fellow clansman at the peak of Dou Zun to cover his escape, Xiao Fan did not believe that the other party would be foolish enough to rush up and fight to the death before it was time for a fight to the death.

That means the other party's goal... is themselves...

A mysterious smile appeared on Xiao Fan's lips.

What he fears least is being possessed.

as predicted!

"Boy, do you know the suffering of wandering ghosts who have been drifting in this wretched place for hundreds or thousands of years?"

A blush spread across the other person's face, and their body rapidly approached Xiao Fan. Even though they had taken a hit from Xiao Fan, their body still managed to collide with Xiao Fan as they had hoped.

Immediately, the powerful soul force drilled straight into Xiao Fan's mind.

With a hint of madness and a sense of relief as if he had finally escaped these damned, stifling days, he completely ignored Xiao Fan's attacks and had only one goal: to use his soul power to possess Xiao Fan's body.

so........

He naturally didn't notice that Xiao Fan had stopped, and even had a strange look on his face.

"How...how could this happen!"

"Boy...who...who are you?!"
