444. Encirclement and strangulation
Although Xiao Yan was confident, he was by no means arrogant. The moment he noticed the presence of the man in black, he alerted Little Fairy Doctor. The man in black wanted to use his methods to trap Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan was also waiting for the right opportunity to seal him up and then take his life.
According to Yao Lao, the person before them was Mu Gu, Xiao Yan's uncle, who shared the same sect as Yao Lao. Yao Lao was betrayed and killed by Han Feng, leaving only his soul behind; Mu Gu was one of the main masterminds behind this.
"If possible, and under the premise of ensuring safety, kill him!" At that time, Yao Lao's tone was extremely cold, which shows the "status" of Mu Gu Lao in his heart.
Xiao Yan would certainly not let the person who harmed Yao Lao get away with it.
At this moment, with the four Dou Zun gathered, Elder Mu Gu already knew he had fallen into Xiao Yan's trap. He immediately transformed into black smoke and tried to leave, surrounded by black flames. No matter how confident he was, he didn't think he could fight four opponents here, let alone that one of the four auras was stronger than him.
"Here!" Lei Jingxiao shouted immediately. Although he was not an alchemist, his soul power was equally strong, and he was exceptionally warlike.
With his golden spear wreathed in crimson flames, he charged relentlessly at Elder Mu Gu, his spear thrust ruthless, piercing straight through Elder Mu Gu's body!
Although Elder Mu Gu was anxious, he remained calm. He immediately seized Lei Jingxiao's opening, his right hand enveloped in black flames as he gripped the tip of the golden spear. This was an extremely dangerous move, but he was very confident in his black flames.
He did indeed grasp the golden spear, but the next moment a flash of lightning appeared, and another golden spear, carrying a sharp lightning beam, pierced through the black smoke.
"Lightning Strike!"
Centered on the golden spear, a vortex of lightning swept out, creating a thunderous explosion with tremendous sound, and the black smoke was also blasted away in pieces.
Before Elder Mugu could even catch his breath, a chilling, frosty aura spread, freezing the entire area where the black smoke had been. A solid ice crystal instantly formed, completely enveloping and trapping the black smoke that Mugu had transformed into.
Qinglin's eyes shone with a clear, emerald light. Her breath was now tinged with fine ice shards; as the strongest here, she had taken control of the situation. Within the frozen ice crystals, a purplish-gray aura, poised to devour life, flowed. Little Fairy Doctor was not in a hurry, but patiently waited for time, allowing the calamity poison to become a deadly weapon.
If Mu Gu could still evaluate the three attacks at this moment, he would definitely say that Little Fairy Doctor's attack was the most troublesome for him.
"Don't let your guard down, he's not so easy to deal with!" Xiao Yan immediately warned.
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the soul power at the center of the ice crystal surged again, and a series of cracking sounds rang out. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ice crystal, and soul entities emerged, which then exploded instantly. Under the shockwaves of the soul explosions, even Lei Jingxiao, who rushed forward at the first moment, was thrown back by the aftershocks.
Several figures in black robes emerged from the night and charged forward fearlessly, while the black smoke seized the opportunity to retreat.
His hands and exposed skin had turned a purplish-black color. The intense poison gas assaulted his body, and his breath carried a chilling frost; the Nine Netherworld Python's icy aura had seeped into his bones. He inwardly groaned: he had heard that Xiao Yan and his group were exceptionally strong, but he truly hadn't expected these young people to be so powerful. In their brief exchange, he hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath. If he hadn't prepared a backup plan from the start, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape today.
However, the guardians of the Soul Palace did not buy him much time. In just three breaths, the eight Dou Zong soul bodies were either turned into ice sculptures or shattered by the domineering golden spear.
Surrounded by crimson flames, Xiao Yan was completely unaffected by the several Heavenly Rank Protectors of the Soul Palace. With a few flashes, he followed closely behind. Seeing this, Elder Mu Gu was terrified. Xiao Yan alone might not be able to defeat him, a six-star Dou Zun, but if he were entangled by Xiao Yan, a combined attack from four Dou Zun would definitely not end well for him.
Before he could come up with a solution, Xiao Yan swung the ruler down again, and Elder Mu Gu flashed out with both hands, using his bare hands to collide with the Xuan Heavy Ruler.
As he extended his hands, a strange black crystalline layer enveloped them at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and Xiao Yan felt as if a foot of his body had been forcibly frozen. However, Xiao Yan immediately snorted coldly, forcefully unleashing purplish-red flames, and the foot of his body ultimately collided with the crystalline hand.
Under this real collision, Xiao Yan also staggered back several steps, his hands trembling slightly from the force of the impact. The four-star difference was still difficult to overcome easily. He could suppress Elder Mu Gu for a short time with his own methods, but in a true two-on-one fight, Elder Mu Gu, who was of a higher level and equally proficient in soul power, would obviously have the advantage.
However, Xiao Yan did not need to fight Mu Gu Elder one-on-one. After one strike, the crystal hand that intercepted the Xuan Heavy Ruler also developed many cracks, and the cold current was already chasing after him like a leech.
Mu Gu found his black robe stiff and cold, a chill that seemed to freeze his blood. The seemingly docile girl in green held two fingers together, a small but lifelike black python coiling around them. The tiny black snake's eyes gleamed with a crystalline green light, and a deadly attack instantly appeared beneath her fingers.
"Nine Netherworld Python?"
Feeling the suppression of Qing Lin's strength, Elder Mu Gu's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He dared not fight Qing Lin at all, and used two large crystalline hands to intercept Qing Lin's attacks from the left and right. He retreated rapidly again. Qing Lin, a Seven-Star Dou Zun, was definitely not someone he could fight against at his current level. However, Qing Lin was even faster. An ice crystal pierced through the crystalline hands without any obstruction, and also pierced through Mu Gu's body, which had just turned into black smoke.
A mouthful of black blood also spurted from Mu Gu's mouth. He dared not delay for a moment. He had already seen the strange flames in Xiao Yan's hands actually merging with each other. He did not understand what Xiao Yan was going to do for the time being, but he could not suppress his sense of crisis.
"Xuan Kongzi, I know you're here!" Elder Mu Gu shouted, disregarding his image. He was now at his wit's end, and if he didn't want to perish here today, he had to find any chance to survive!
"If I die here, word will spread that the Danta was unable to protect the participants, and we will be ridiculed throughout the entire continent!"
