Seeing Xiao Yan charge forward, Feng Zun Zhe and the others exchanged glances, then rushed toward their respective opponents. After all, they understood that judging from the Hall of Souls members' attitude, it was impossible for them to let the group leave so easily.
Since that was the case, their only choice was to fight while retreating.
"Heh heh, fight, all of you fight as hard as you can. Once Xiao Yan and the others are heavily injured, that's when I'll make my move and finish off that brat."
While blocking Tie Jian and Wan Jian, the two Two-Star Dou Zun experts, Old Mu Gu glanced around the battlefield and sneered in his heart. The more chaotic the scene became, and the fiercer the fighting, the easier it would be for him to act later.
"Hehe, this may stall these Hun Clan lackeys, but it also means losing the chance to break open the spatial prison outside."
From within the void above, a figure shook his head as he watched Xiao Yan's group fighting while retreating. "Young people really are too impatient."
With those words, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
At the same time, in the valley outside the giant hall, the two branch-hall masters who had departed earlier were now each leading dozens of Hall of Souls Protectors, standing on opposite sides of the hall.
They looked toward each other across the distance, both placing their palms before their chests. Naturally, they wouldn't perform such a gesture for no reason. At the point where their palms gathered power, a beam of Dou Qi shot straight into the sky.
When the beams fused in the air, the energy immediately transformed into a massive half-spherical barrier that dropped down, sealing several kilometers of space.
"Since the brat can't run, I'll lend you a hand. Otherwise, if something happens to you, the young miss will come looking for trouble with me."
As he spoke, the mysterious figure slightly moved his palm, and a torrent of powerful Dou Qi surged from within his body. The next moment, the branch-hall master maintaining the spatial prison suddenly felt something strange above his head.
He instantly raised his gaze upward.
But the moment he looked up, his expression turned to terror—a crystalline palm imprint overflowing with destructive power sliced through space at incredible speed and smashed straight downward.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion shook the entire valley.
The terrifying Dou Qi shockwave obliterated everything around it, including space itself. At the very center, the Three-Star Dou Zun branch-hall master and the dozens of Protectors were instantly swallowed by the raging Dou Qi, disappearing without a trace.
Even the giant black hall several hundred meters away was struck by the terrifying blast. The upper half was instantly shattered into countless pieces, swept away by the violent shockwave.
On the other side, the vice hall master and the dozens of Protectors behind him were also caught in the blast. They were swept up along with countless fragments of stone, their bodies thrown violently into the distance.
The vice hall master managed to survive, though he was heavily shaken by the Dou Qi shockwave. As for the dozens of Protectors who were only at Dou Zun level, they were shredded into countless tiny fragments by the devastating blast.
Judging from their state, it was obvious—there was nothing left of them.
"Bastards, what's going on out there?!"
Inside the great hall, Seventh Tian Zun felt the powerful surge of Dou Qi outside, and his expression changed dramatically. He shouted angrily toward the missing ceiling. However, the people outside were all fighting for their lives—no one had the time to answer him.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that there was no response, the Hall of Souls members' expressions sank heavily.
Judging from the power of the Dou Qi out there, that person's strength was far beyond their own. Since there was no response from the people outside, it was clear that things had most likely taken a disastrous turn.
"What is going on?"
The sudden scene unfolding before their eyes left Xiao Yan and the others completely at a loss.
At this moment, they truly had no idea what to do. After all, when they came here, they had not arranged any backup in the valley outside.Now that something like this had happened, they had no way of knowing whether the mysterious expert outside was an enemy or a friend.
"Brat, the spatial prison outside has already been broken by me. While they don't dare act rashly, hurry and leave."
Just as Xiao Yan stood stunned, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.
"Who?!"
Hearing the sudden voice, Xiao Yan instinctively questioned it aloud. But very soon, he realized—
With the other party's strength, if they wanted to kill him, it would only take a single thought. Since the mysterious expert had not attacked him, logically speaking, he shouldn't be an enemy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan worried the others might hesitate, so he quickly turned to Feng Zun Zhe and said, "The person outside is our reinforcement! Everyone retreat now!"
With that, he circulated his Dou Qi and shot straight upward. The other Dou Zun experts, hearing this, all instinctively followed Xiao Yan and rushed out as well.
"Brother Seventh, should we chase them?"
Seeing Xiao Yan and the others flying out from above the ruined giant hall, several Hall of Souls Dou Zun experts quickly moved beside Seventh Tian Zun and asked.
"Forget it. That mysterious expert's strength far surpasses our own. It's better not to provoke him."
Seventh Tian Zun hesitated for a moment before giving the bitter order to not pursue.
After all, judging from that mysterious man's display, he believed the person must have already reached the Nine Change level. With just the few of them, how could they possibly fight someone of that caliber?
The others, hearing Seventh Tian Zun give up the chase, all immediately let out sighs of relief. Unless absolutely forced, none of them wanted to face a monster like that!
Of course, the person feeling the worst was Old Mu Gu. Earlier, seeing Xiao Yan and the others fighting fiercely, he thought his plan was solid. He was certain the Flame Mantra and the Heavenly Flames were within reach.
He never expected someone to appear halfway through and directly let Xiao Yan and the others escape?!
"Damn it, did I offend the heavens in my previous life? Why is everything turning against me? Everything was going perfectly—how did it suddenly fall apart?!"
Watching Xiao Yan and the others disappear from sight, Old Mu Gu nearly fainted from anger. Everything had been going smoothly, yet in an instant, the situation flipped, and his targets walked away smiling from the Death Soul Mountain Range.
"Phew, luckily I ran fast just now. That old man's strength is way too terrifying. This lady better run before she gets swept up!"
Hidden deep within the void, Zi Yan had been so terrified by the earlier display of power that she immediately turned tail and fled. After all, she was just a tiny Two-Star Dou Zun baby—how could she withstand something like that?!
