Xiao Yan decisively activated Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. He was well aware that without it, he would not be able to withstand Yun Shan's single blow.
The magnification of this secret technique depended on the flame's intensity. Xiao Yan's current flame was a fusion of Azure Lotus Core Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Sea Heart Flame, and Fallen Heart Flame.
With the flame stronger, the magnification naturally became more potent. His aura directly ascended from a two-star Dou Emperor to the peak of Dou Emperor.
A pair of purple wings unfurled behind him, with light green flames entwining the wings.
Flying Dou Technique was also useful at the Dou King and Dou Emperor stages. It could stack with 'Dou Qi Transformation Wings', unleashing terrifying speed.
In an instant, Xiao Yan arrived before Yun Shan, punching towards his face.
"Eight Extremities Collapse!"
Yun Shan's expression was calm, not flustered in the slightest by this swift, lightning-like attack. He extended his right hand, forming a claw, and met the punch.
"Great Wind Tearing Sadness Hand!" Fist and claw collided, and a circle of air waves erupted from the center of the impact. After a brief stalemate, Xiao Yan flew backward, with several bloodstains on his knuckles.
Yun Shan subtly split the Worm of Spirit within his body, lowering his own level slightly, and looked at Xiao Yan with cold eyes: "Is that all? If this is your limit, then you can die here."
Xiao Yan's face was grim. This Yun Shan before him was more terrifying than he had imagined, not like someone who had just broken through to Dou Ancestor.
Protector Wu did not just watch; he decisively attacked Yao Chen, a black chain shooting out like a sharp arrow.
He let out a 'hehe' strange laugh: "Yao Chen, if you still had a physical body, I would turn and run, but unfortunately, only a soul remains... Dealing with soul bodies is our specialty."
"Is that so... Then have you tried this?" Yao Chen's expression remained unchanged. With a wave of his hand, a bone-white flame shot out like a fire snake.
After colliding with the chain and neutralizing its power, it spread along the chain like a maggot attached to bone.
Protector Wu's expression changed slightly. Dou Qi poured out, and the chain vibrated violently, shaking off the flame, then quickly retracted.
"I underestimated you. As expected of Venerable Yao, who once made a name for himself in the Central Continent."
After the four exchanged blows, the other Dou Emperor experts also began to fight.
Gold and Silver Elders felt their cultivation was profound and they were skilled in combined attack methods. They believed that working together, they could fight a Dou Ancestor, so they didn't take their opponents too seriously at first, but their expressions changed as soon as they engaged.
Six Soul Envoys only sent out three, and they managed to stop them. The coordination of these three was also very tacit, subtly forming a battle formation.
A tall Soul Envoy fought fiercely with Jia Xingtian. The other two, along with Yun Du, Yun Cha, and other Yunlan Sect Elders, teamed up to deal with Fa Ma and the other five Dou Emperors from the Black-Corner Region.
The Soul Envoys under Protector Wu displayed terrifying combat power. Sect Master Su Mei of the Rakshasa Gate was injured by a Soul Envoy in a single exchange.
This caused the battle to quickly shift to a disadvantageous position for Xiao Yan's side.
Xiao Yan, who was currently fighting Yun Shan, noticed this situation, frowned, and felt anxious.
The gap between Dou Emperor and Dou Ancestor was not so great as to be insurmountable; Dou Emperors also had the ability to intervene in Dou Ancestor-level battles.
If Sect Master Su Mei and the others were defeated, he and Yao Chen would also find it difficult to resist too many opponents.
A palm wrapped in a light green cyclone suddenly pressed towards Xiao Yan. His expression changed, and he narrowly dodged it.
Yun Shan sneered: "Fighting me and still having time to care about other places?"
He seized the opportunity and launched an attack like a torrential storm.
Xiao Yan was already at a disadvantage, and for a time, he became even more precarious.
On Sect Master Su Mei's side, it was a one-sided situation. The other people from the Black-Corner Region were not unwilling to help; although they were not united, they knew the principle of mutual dependence, but they were entangled by their respective opponents and could not easily disengage.
After the chain with a scythe was slapped away by Sect Master Su Mei, it spun in the air and attacked her from behind. At the same time, the Soul Envoy also pressed forward from the front, his left hand forming a claw, grabbing towards her crown.
Sect Master Su Mei was overwhelmed, and a hint of despair appeared in her eyes.
Just then, the Soul Envoy suddenly retreated, and a silver flame abruptly appeared in his original position. The small scythe on the chain that was attacking Sect Master Su Mei's heart from behind was also blocked by a much larger scythe with a 'ding' sound.
A look of relief after escaping death appeared in Sect Master Su Mei's eyes. She looked back and saw a young girl in a black dress, with a beautiful and captivating face, holding a giant scythe larger than herself, appearing behind her.
The black-dressed young girl's aura was not strong, but she stood on the flame, suspended in the air, without Dou Qi wings behind her.
Sect Master Su Mei did not know this suddenly appearing young girl with a mysterious aura, but from her actions, it was clear she was a friend, not an enemy, and immediately thanked her: "Thank you for your help, young lady."
After colliding with Yun Shan and pulling away, Xiao Yan glanced at the situation here and called out with a hint of surprise: "Xiao Meng!"
"Hehe... Young Clan Leader Xiao Yan, you just focus on dealing with that old geezer. Leave this place to me," Xiao Meng said with a giggle.
There was a certain connection between the avatars. Unless the main body actively shielded it, they could sense each other within a certain distance.
Although Xiao Meng no longer had the right to participate in the general public vote, she was still a member of Amon. Just by looking at Yun Shan, she knew exactly what he was.
"Xiao Meng, why are you here?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.
"I'm also named Xiao, so how could I be absent from avenging Uncle Xiao Zhan?"
"Your clan members..."
"I ran away from home," Xiao Meng said with a smile.
Xiao Yan noticed the silver flame on her body, which even made his fused Heavenly Flame feel a bit of fear. A slightly curious expression appeared in his eyes.
The Heavenly Flame list didn't record such a flame!
"How little you think of me, looking around while fighting me again."
Several cyan longswords condensed in front of Yun Shan, shooting towards him with an incredibly sharp aura.
The cyan longswords suddenly disintegrated into smaller wind blades just as they were about to approach Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was unable to dodge in time and was cut on the waist by one of them. A bloody wound appeared on his side, and the intense pain caused his face to twitch involuntarily.
A flame appeared at his wound, and the flame erupted with a heat that even he could not bear, burning away the remaining wind-attribute Dou Qi that was constantly tearing and deepening the wound, and scorching the surrounding flesh, stopping the flow of blood.
Yun Shan frowned slightly: "Where is your Three Thousand Lightning Movement? What, you haven't learned it?"
Xiao Yan endured the pain and grinned, revealing a smile:
"Graces are graces, grievances are grievances. I won't use what you gave me against you... Nor will I implicate innocent people of the Yunlan Sect, but the Xiao Family's matter must have an explanation."
Yun Shan smiled and said in a calm voice:
"I appreciate you even more now. Why don't you abandon the darkness and join my Yunlan Sect..."
"Protector Wu promised me that if you become a member of my Yunlan Sect, he will not continue to pursue you."
"Actually, I don't want to kill you either; I don't want to make Yun'er sad."
Xiao Yan let out a 'heh' and revealed a mocking smile:
"You don't understand anything. Is whether to continue pursuing me really something a Soul Hall Protector can decide?"
"The weight of me, the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Family, in some people's eyes, is far greater than your entire Yunlan Sect..."
"Moreover, is there still room for reconciliation between us?"
"Blood debt, only blood can repay!"
At the end, his voice was a roar. His wings vibrated behind him, and flames burned fiercely on his hands, as he swooped diagonally downward like a preying eagle.
Yun Shan also stopped trying to persuade him, expressing his attitude with practical action.
Vast Dou Qi surged, and a fierce wind roared, forming a thick wind wall in front of him, with countless blade-like air currents surging within the wind wall.
Light gathered at the tip of his right index finger.
