Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

Chapter 94, Shattering the Mountain Gate with a Palm, Nine-Star Dou Huang!

The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is located in a mountain range that is perpetually shrouded in a pale purple poisonous miasma.

The buildings are mostly made of huge, black stones, with strange shapes, and they look strange from a distance.

Like a giant scorpion crawling on the ground, ready to devour its prey, it exudes a sinister and oppressive aura.

Xiao Qing and Hai Bodong hovered in mid-air outside the sect entrance, looking at the ten-zhang-high, pitch-black gate carved with ferocious scorpion heads, and the Wanxie Sect disciples standing guard in front of the gate with uncertain and surprised eyes.

"Just barge in?" Hai Bodong raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing didn't speak; his response to Hai Bodong was a slowly raised hand.

On the palm of his hand, a blue flame leaped out and instantly expanded, transforming into a giant fiery palm formed entirely from the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!

The intense heat on his palm caused the space to distort slightly, emanating a destructive aura from the strange fire.

This caused all the Wanxie Sect disciples below to turn pale and tremble in their souls.

Xiao Qing unleashed a palm strike, and the enormous azure flame palm, carrying the power to crush everything, crashed down towards the pitch-black door!

"Enemy attack!!!"

The piercing alarm finally broke the silence, but it was too late.

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the valley.

The pitch-black gate, which embodied the face of the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect and was equipped with defensive formations, shattered instantly like paper before the strange fire's palm.

In an instant, it turned into countless fragments of stone burning with blue flames, flying everywhere!

The dozen or so disciples behind the door didn't even have time to scream before they were vaporized or severely injured by the terrifying heat and shockwave.

A huge, charred handprint was left on the spot, and the rocks around the edge were burned into a glassy state.

The wisps of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame continued to burn stubbornly, emitting a chilling aura.

It seemed to be a silent declaration of the invaders' domineering and tyrannical nature.

"Highest Alert! Activate the Sect Protection Array!"

An inner disciple shouted at the top of his lungs.

The piercing sound of the bell echoed throughout the entire Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. Countless disciples and elders, like startled wasps, poured out from various buildings and caves, staring in terror at the two figures in the sky.

A massive poisonous barrier, shimmering with an eerie green light and emitting a sweet, fishy odor, rose rapidly from all parts of the mountain range like an inverted bowl, attempting to engulf the entire sect.

However, Xiao Qing and Hai Bodong simply watched coldly, neither stopping them nor rushing in.

Their goal was not to sneak in.

"Who dares to offend my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?!"

Three figures rose from below with overwhelming momentum, blocking the two of them.

The leader was an old man with a sinister face and an aura that had reached the level of an eight-star Dou Wang. The other two were also elders at the level of five-star and six-star Dou Wang.

"Why waste words with two dying men?"

Xiao Qing spoke calmly, as if stating a fact.

"Arrogant brat! Prepare to die!!"

Enraged, the eight-star Dou Wang elder formed hand seals, and a thick, dark green poisonous mist surged forth as if alive, transforming into a giant poisonous python that roared and pounced on Xiao Qing.

The other two elders also attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of poison needles and poisonous sand.

Faced with an attack that would have made even a Dou Wang of the same level flustered, Xiao Qing simply waved his hand casually.

"Whoosh! A sea of ​​blue fire appeared out of thin air, instantly engulfing the giant poisonous fog python, poisonous needles, and poisonous sand that pounced on it."

The highly corrosive and toxic energy was completely evaporated and purified before the strange fire could even cause a ripple.

A wisp of inconspicuous blue spark, as if possessing a spirit, silently splashed onto the sleeve of the eight-star Dou Wang elder's robe.

"Ugh!!"

A piercing, distorted scream suddenly rang out.

The moment the spark touched the object, it unleashed a terrifying burning force, spreading instantly like a leech.

The eight-star Dou Wang elder only had time to glance at it in horror before half of his body, along with the Dou Qi defense he hastily mobilized, was incinerated into nothingness in front of everyone's horrified eyes! The mangled corpse, smelling of burning, fell from the sky.

The attacks of the other two elders came to an abrupt halt, their sinister smiles freezing in place, replaced by boundless terror.

They tried to escape, but it was too late.

An invisible and intangible yet vast soul power, like a giant hammer, crashed into their sea of ​​consciousness.

Their eyes instantly dimmed, losing all their sparkle.

Like a puppet with its strings cut, it fell straight down, its soul completely obliterated!

With a wave of his hand, the three Dou Wang elders were completely annihilated!

The area in front of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's mountain gate fell into a deathly silence, with only the buzzing of the protective poison barrier and the crackling of the wisp of blue flame burning.

All the disciples stared in terror at the figure in green robes in the sky, as if they were looking at a fiery demon god descending to earth.

"You bastard!"

A furious roar erupted from a grand hall deep within the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful pillar of dark green battle aura shot into the sky, and a figure shot over as fast as lightning, stopping opposite Xiao Qing and the other person.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, wearing a dark green robe embroidered with ferocious scorpion patterns.

His eyes were as sharp as a venomous scorpion's, and the aura emanating from his body had reached the peak of the Nine-Star Douhan realm!

It was none other than Scorpion Mountain, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect!

Woshan's gaze first swept over the charred palm print and the three elders' corpses below, and his eye twitched violently.

Immediately, Scorpion Mountain stared intently at Hai Bodong, his voice icy cold, and said, "Hai Bodong! It's you! Does the Jia Ma Empire intend to wage a full-scale war against my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and the Chuyun Empire?!"

Hai Bodong crossed his arms, his body radiating a chilling aura that rivaled the opponent's sinister, poisonous fighting spirit. He sneered, "Scorpion Mountain, stop trying to shift the blame! Your Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has repeatedly violated my borders, killing my soldiers and civilians. Do you really think my Jia Ma Empire is made of clay?"

"Today, Master Xiao Qing and I have come to seek justice for the fallen soldiers and civilians!"

"Master Xiao Qing?" Xie Shan's gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Qing, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

He had recently heard of this name; the newly promoted sixth-grade alchemy master of the Jia Ma Empire, who was said to be extremely young.

But Xie Shan never expected that not only was the opponent's alchemy skill amazing, but his strength was also so terrifying!

Even he felt a slight chill at the method that had just annihilated three Dou Wang elders.

"Hai Bodong, you alone, along with that strange brat, dare to trespass into my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect? You're far too disrespectful!"

Scorpion Mountain's voice was somber. As soon as he finished speaking, two old men dressed in gray hemp robes, with withered faces like dried corpses, appeared quietly beside him.

Although their auras were not as powerful as Scorpion Mountain's, they had still reached the Dou Huang level, one at two stars and the other at three stars!

He was a reclusive elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

"With the two of us old bones included, are we qualified to keep you here?"

The gray-robed elder, a three-star Dou Huang, spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes fixed on Hai Bodong like a venomous snake.

Hai Bodong sensed the auras of the two Dou Huangs, but showed no fear on his face; instead, his fighting spirit soared.

Hai Bodong twisted his neck, unleashing the full power of a five-star Dou Huang, the icy chill causing water molecules in the air to condense into ice crystals.

"Hehe, perfect timing! I've only recently broken through to a higher level, let's test our skills on you two! You two old poisoners, come at me together!"

Before he finished speaking, Hai Bodong moved and rushed towards the two gray-robed elders.

Ice shards materialized out of thin air and rained down on the opponent, instantly turning half the sky an icy blue.

The two elders snorted coldly, and dark green poisonous battle qi surged forth.

Transforming into enormous phantoms of venomous scorpions and pythons, they clashed violently with Hai Bodong's icy battle aura.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Violent energy explosions echoed continuously high in the sky!

On one side was the extreme cold that froze everything, and on the other side was the deadly poison that corroded everything. The three types of fighting spirit clashed and eroded each other, and for a time they were evenly matched.

Hai Bodong, relying on his five-star Dou Huang cultivation and exquisite ice-type fighting skills, actually managed to fight two low-star Dou Huangs at once and temporarily hold them off!

Seeing that the Supreme Elder was being stopped, Xie Shan's gaze locked onto Xiao Qing again, his killing intent surging. He said in a sinister tone, "Boy, no matter who you are, you destroyed my sect and killed my elder today. I will make you pay for this in blood!"

Without further hesitation, Xie Shan formed a complex hand seal, and dark green battle qi gathered wildly around him, condensing behind him into a huge, lifelike, pitch-black scorpion phantom!

The scorpion's phantom was almost tangible, its tail hook raised high, shimmering with an eerie light, and the venom it emitted caused the surrounding space to sizzle and corrode.

"The Great Scorpion Poison Manual: The Poison Emperor Descends!"

With a fierce shout, Xie Shan unleashed a silent hiss as the enormous phantom of a poisonous scorpion tore through the air and pounced down on Xiao Qing, carrying a monstrous wave of venom!

They unleashed their ultimate move the moment they met!

This strike contained the full power of his peak nine-star Dou Huang, enough to easily poison and kill a Dou Huang expert!

Despite the ferocious attack, Xiao Qing's eyes remained calm.

Xiao Qing instantly entered his Law Form, his whole body radiating golden flames. He raised his right hand and extended his index finger.

Above his fingertips, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame swirled, but deeper within, a wisp of crimson-gold light quietly flowed—the power of the Law of Fire was being activated.

He didn't use any fancy fighting techniques, sticking to his most proficient technique, the Annihilation Finger.

One point out!

A low-level Earth-rank combat skill: Annihilation Finger!

"laugh!"

A condensed, crimson-gold finger strike, only as thick as an arm, shot out as if piercing through the void.

The space around his fingertips twisted violently, emanating a chillingly high temperature and an aura of destruction.

The menacing scorpion phantom, upon contact with the crimson-gold finger energy, did not even struggle before rapidly dissolving and disintegrating, starting from its head!

The highly toxic energy it contained was fundamentally disintegrated and purified in the face of the Law of Fire!

The force of the finger strike did not diminish in the slightest, and in the sudden contraction of Scorpion Mountain's pupils, it instantly pierced through the layers of battle qi defense that he had hastily set up!

"puff!"

As if struck by a heavy blow, Xie Shan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and a charred finger-sized hole appeared in his chest, with the flesh around the edges rolled up, revealing the white bone!

Even more terrifying, a scorching power imbued with the essence of law coiled around the wound, frantically destroying his life force.

It also prevented the wound from healing, making it extremely difficult for Scorpion Mountain to even circulate his battle qi!

His body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing into the roof of a side hall below before he barely managed to regain his balance.

Scorpion Mountain clutched his chest, looking up at the still calm figure in the blue robe standing in the air, his eyes filled with incomprehensible horror and fear.

"Strange—strange fire power?! You—what kind of monster are you?!"

Scorpion Mountain's voice trembled with pain and fear.

How could a Dou Wang possibly possess the combat power of a Dou Zong?!

Xiao Qing did not answer, her eyes indifferent, and raised her finger again.

Once you've made your move, there's no reason to hold back.

However, just as the light at his fingertips was about to shine again—

"Buzz!"

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a ferocious beast awakening from its slumber, suddenly emanated from the most secluded forbidden area in the back mountain of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!

This oppressive aura was cold, evil, and overwhelming, far surpassing the level of a Dou Huang, and instantly enveloped the entire Wanxie Sect mountain range.

Everyone engaged in the fierce battle, including Hai Bodong and the two elders, paused in their movements, feeling a chill run down their spines.

The sky seemed to darken, with dark green poisonous clouds gathering in the air, and a blurry, huge, old face appearing and disappearing in the clouds.

Those emotionless eyes locked onto Xiao Qing as if he were an ant.

A hoarse, dry voice, like two bones grinding together, echoed deep within everyone's soul: "You brat—relying on a little talent, you dare to run wild in my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect! You injured my sect master; today, I will use your soul to atone for your sins!"

Scorpion Rock! The patriarch of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, a three-star Dou Zong powerhouse, has finally been alarmed!
