Chapter 282 The Soul Palace Attacks
Above the pit, Xiao Yun put the bones in his hand into the storage ring, then slowly turned around and looked at the black-robed figure in front of him with cold eyes."Hehehe! Xiao Yun, I didn't expect to meet you here. There is a road to heaven but you didn't take it. Today is the day you die!" The black-robed figure shook his palms, and the fighting spirit attached to them, repairing the injuries caused by touching the strange fire just now.
"Someone from the Soul Palace?" Xiao Yun frowned. He didn't expect that the person sent by the Soul Palace was hiding so deeply and only appeared now. Moreover, he didn't know what treasure or skills he had, and his hidden aura was so hidden that even he hadn't noticed it before.
"Huh? How did you know?" But the black-robed figure was startled. They had just met and thought they had not done anything to expose their identities.
"I guess only people from your Soul Palace would laugh like this in the entire continent..."
Xiao Yun felt a little speechless and was unwilling to explain anything. As soon as the other party made a move, relying on the soul perception ability of the intermediate level of the Heaven Realm, he instantly knew the situation of the fighting spirit in his body, and immediately said:
"It's just a Dou Zun. Who gave you the confidence?"
A faint voice echoed over the pit. He raised his arm and clenched his palm. A pitch-black flame wrapped around it, and the energy in the area also surged, eventually transforming into a small black fire dragon in the palm of his hand.
The little black fire dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws, swelled up in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it became a hundred feet long, carrying extremely high temperatures as it roared towards the black-robed figure.
"Blood Transformation Technique! Blood River!"
A hoarse roar came from under the black robe, and as the roar fell, a huge column of blood gushed out from the black-robed figure, condensing into a river of blood in front of him.
"laugh!"
The black fire dragon crashed into the blood river, but there was no earth-shattering sound. Instead, it was somewhat calm, with only constant hissing sounds and white mist rising from the blood river.
"This... How is this possible! You have also entered the Ninth Transformation Realm!?"
Looking at the river of blood that was constantly evaporating under the strange fire, the black-robed figure let out a sinister sound.
He remembered that more than a year ago, although the former had the combat power of a semi-saint level, his actual cultivation was only at the three-star Dou Zun level.
Half a year ago, when the other party was showing off his power in the ancient clan, he was only a seven-star Dou Zun!
But now, there was no other aura emanating from the opponent, and the fighting spirit he sent out with a wave of his hand was somewhat unable to be resisted by the Blood River Fighting Skills he displayed!
Obviously, the other party not only reached the ninth level, but even surpassed him!
"There are many things you can't imagine!" Xiao Yun smiled faintly, but he pressed down his palm, and another giant black fire dragon appeared.
"Oh!"
The two giant black fire dragons had completely exceeded the limit of what the Blood River could endure. Even if the black-robed figure tried his best, he could not stop the Blood River from being burned into nothingness.
But the latter flashed repeatedly at the moment when the blood river collapsed, and directly escaped from the attack range of the black fire dragon, causing it to crash into the rock wall.
Suddenly, the terrifying high temperature and the extreme annihilation properties caused a huge deep pit of nearly a hundred feet to appear on the rock wall that had already withstood the Great Heaven Creation Palm.
……
Outside the pit, the surviving Dou Zuns in the square originally wanted to snatch it when they saw Xiao Yun taking the Dou Sheng bones, but after seeing the power of the black fire dragon, an unconcealable shock appeared in their eyes.
The black fire dragon, apart from its range, was powerful enough to rival the fighting skills unleashed by the Fighting Saint Skeleton, and such an attack seemed so easy to unleash by the black-robed figure.
"Who are these two black-robed figures? Their cultivation is actually at the peak of Dou Zun!"
"Especially the black-robed warrior who can release black fire. In my opinion, he is about to reach the semi-saint realm!"
Many Dou Zuns looked at each other, then sighed softly and put away their thoughts silently. Although the other party had picked their peaches, with the strength of a peak Dou Zu, in their current state, they would basically die one by one.
"You should be the Blood River Lord of the Soul Palace, right? You are as fast as a mouse!" Xiao Yun laughed when he saw the other party dodge his attack.
"Boy, you just took advantage of the strange fire! Don't be so proud!"
After his identity was revealed by Xiao Yun, the figure in black robe no longer concealed himself. He pulled off the black robe, revealing his true face.
Under the black robe was an old face, but the old man looked a little weird.
Because both its hair and pupils were scarlet in color, and there was a faint smell of blood emanating from its body, which permeated the area.
"I am the Blood River Venerable, one of the Four Heavenly Lords of the Soul Palace!"
The hoarse old voice resounded through heaven and earth, and when the onlookers in the square heard it, their faces changed.
"It's actually Xuehe! He was once a very famous warrior in Zhongzhou! His blood transformation technique is extremely strange, and I don't know how many Dou Zun warriors died at his hands!"
Many Dou Zuns were discussing among themselves. Although their voices were not loud, they were still clearly heard by Xiao Yun and the other man who were above the pit.
Xuehe Tianzun's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Strong people all attach great importance to face. He has disappeared from the Central Plains for many years, but he still has this reputation, which also makes him feel better.
"Are the Four Heavenly Lords very proud? Last time your deputy hall master came, he returned with an arm missing!"
"Xiao Yun! How dare you insult the Lord Palace Master! Last time, someone from the Grand Void Ancient Dragon helped you, but this time, even the Dou Sheng cannot enter the ruins!"
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Xuehe Tianzun's expression suddenly turned ugly. He looked at the former with cold eyes, but did not take action immediately.
His palms formed seals one after another like lightning, and as the seals changed, the space around him twisted slowly, and a spatial crack emerged from the void.
"Want to call someone?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yun's eyes turned cold, and pitch-black flames suddenly surged out of his body, covering his entire body. Then he stomped his foot hard into the void, and his figure disappeared under the gaze of Xuehe Tianzun.
"What a fast speed... But unfortunately, I'm already here..."
A faint voice echoed throughout the world, and then a blurry figure flashed out from the crack in space. It was a bone knife, which slashed fiercely at the void beside Xuehe Tianzun.
Wherever the blade went, an illusory figure had to emerge from the void, with black flames erupting all over its body and condensing into a black fire spear. The extremely high temperature collided with the bone knife.
"Oh!"
When the blade and the tip of the gun collided, a strong gust of wind surged out from the intersection, and with one blow, the surrounding space was shattered.
"Humph!"
Xiao Yun felt a sweet taste in his throat and a mouthful of blood gushed up, but he forced himself to swallow it back. His body flew backwards and slid for hundreds of meters before stopping.
Looking forward, I saw an old man walking slowly out of the space crack, stepping on the void.
"I didn't expect that even an old fellow like you would come! Gu You..." Seeing the familiar skeleton figure, Xiao Yun frowned. The person who came was none other than his old acquaintance, the Second Heavenly Master of the Soul Palace, Gu You Saint!
“Haha, Master Xiao, I said last time that we will meet again, and when we meet again, I can’t protect you!”
The Bone Saint clenched his palm, and the bone knife in the air flew back into his hand. He slowly raised his head and laughed in a hoarse voice.
But when his eyes rested on Xiao Yun, his pupils shrank slightly, "Eighth Rank Dou Zun... It seems that your potential is far beyond Yao Chen. I should have brought you back to the Soul Palace directly!"
"Eighth turn?" Xuehe Tianzun was also shocked. He knew that Xiao Yun's cultivation was higher than his, but he didn't expect it to be so much higher!
The eighth level Dou Zun is only two steps away from becoming a semi-saint!
"You old dog, you couldn't do it then! Don't even think about it now!"
Xiao Yun sneered and waved his sleeves. A dark flame that seemed to be able to devour the soul gushed out from the soul in his lower abdomen.
And with the appearance of the original heart fire of the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, the temperature of this world rose like a rocket, and at the same time, Xiao Yun's breath also rose.
Eighth turn peak, ninth turn, ninth turn peak...
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yun's aura had reached that of an intermediate semi-saint!
“It’s the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame again. It’s an intermediate semi-saint, and it’s made a lot of progress… but if you want to use it to fight against me, you’re still far from it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of the Bone Ghost Saint continued to rise, and his majestic fighting spirit swept across like a hurricane, and wherever he passed, whether it was rock or floor, it turned into powder silently.
"Hmph!" Xiao Yun snorted coldly, his mind moved, and he also circulated his Dou Qi. Suddenly, the energy between heaven and earth surged like a tide, colliding with the hurricane-like Dou Qi.
The intersection of the two completely different fighting energies, cold and hot, directly shattered the void.
"This……"
Looking at the top of the pit, where two terrifying fighting auras were resisting each other, the onlookers all swallowed hard.
Regardless of the pain in their bodies and the consumption of their internal fighting spirit, they stood up and ran towards the entrance of the passage. A battle of this level was not something they could watch from the sidelines.
And Xuehe Tianzun, who was standing next to Guyou Saint, also had an uncomfortable look on his face. Although he said he was at the peak of Dou Zun, he was actually only at the first level.
The gap between him and a Half-Saint was even greater than the gap between him and a One-Star Dou Zun. He immediately wanted to circulate the Dou Qi in his body to resist.
However, the next moment, a streak of purple-gold fighting spirit came crashing over, but before it got close to him, it was annihilated by the fighting spirit of the Bone Ghost Saint. However, it also successfully attracted the attention of the three people.
"Old man! Do you want to bully the weak with your numbers? See if I agree or not!"
Zi Yan and Medusa flew over and hovered beside Xiao Yun. They looked at Gu You and the other two with cold eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashed in their eyes.
"What are you two doing here? Where's Qinglin?" Xiao Yun was very anxious. Shouldn't they rush out to inform the Dragon Island experts and ask them to come quickly?
Two nine-star Dou Zuns, even if their true forms are supreme demon beasts, can't play any role in a battle at the semi-saint level!
"I asked Qinglin and Fenyan Valley's group to leave the ruins first..." Medusa responded softly.
"... Then you two should follow me!" Xiao Yun was a little helpless at this time. Nothing would happen to him here. Not to mention Elder Zhuming outside, he was carrying a small nuclear bomb in his hand!
"Taixu Ancient Dragon? Does the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan also want to interfere in the affairs of our Soul Palace?!" Gu You said coldly.
"Who do you think you are, Soul Palace? Are you qualified to question my Ancient Dragon Clan? If you have anything to say, let the master behind you speak!" Zi Yan said domineeringly.
"crunch..."
Upon hearing this, anger rose in the eyes of Bone Saint, and the hand holding the bone knife slowly clenched, making a creaking sound.
How could he not understand that the other party's words meant that their Soul Palace was the Soul Clan's dog.
Although this is the fact...
"Young man! Today I will discipline you on behalf of the elders of your clan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu You's figure flashed like lightning, and the bone knife, carrying an extremely terrifying gust of wind, slashed towards Zi Yan. Even the void could not bear the impact of the blade and trembled with fear.
"Old dog! You have to get past me first!"
Looking at the oncoming blade, Xiao Yun's hands flashed like lightning. As the hand seals changed, the pitch-black flames roared past like a fire dragon and turned into a suit of black fire armor.
"If you two want to help, just kill that Blood River Heavenly Master!"
With the strength of the two Nine-Star Dou Zuns, even if Zi Yan still had the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit sealed in her body, when they joined forces, they would not be able to resist Xuehe Tianzun. Xiao Yun felt relieved to leave the latter to the two women.
After saying this, without waiting for the two to react, Xiao Yun's figure had already appeared where the blade must pass. The bone knife fell on the black fire armor, making a sound of fine iron.
The blade had already penetrated halfway, but it couldn't cut any further.
"What a good body, it's actually comparable to an eighth-rank peak demon beast!" The Bone Saint said quietly, holding the bone knife in both hands. Although he didn't use his full strength in this blow, it was not something that an ordinary person could take on.
"There's something even better coming up! Three Fires Locking the Dragon!" Xiao Yun opened his mouth and a pitch-black flame burst out, transforming into three pitch-black chains, trying to entangle Gu You.
"clang!"
The chain flew out, and the Bone Ghost Saint directly pulled out the bone knife. As he retreated, he waved the bone knife in his hand repeatedly, turning it into an impenetrable knife net, and managed to take on this high-level earth-level fighting skill.
"I've said before, your tricks are useless to me!"
After chopping all the black chains into pieces, the Bone Ghost Saint raised his arm, pointed the blade at Xiao Yun, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. He said coldly: "This time, there is no way I can save you!"
"Bone-eroding knife!"
The Bone Saint raised the bone knife in his hand high, and then chopped it down fiercely, and a white knife light whizzed out.
Xiao Yun wanted to escape into the void, but found that this space seemed to have been locked, and the power of space could not be mobilized at all.
"You can't escape! Die for me!"
One strike was not enough, the Bone Ghost Saint raised the bone knife high and chopped it down repeatedly. Countless knife lights whizzed out and formed a row, blocking all of Xiao Yun's retreat routes.
"It's just a flash of a knife. Who said you want to escape?"
Although he said he didn't care, Xiao Yun's expression became extremely solemn at this moment. He could feel a faint breath of death from the knife light. If he couldn't take it, he would really die!
"Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire! Open!"
