After the smoke covering several kilometers gradually dissipated, a slight strange sound was the first to reach everyone's ears.
"Cough cough."
A light cough was heard, and everyone's expression changed.
The faces of Su Qian and the others, led by Canaan Academy, immediately turned ugly. It was unbelievable that the Old Man of Eagle Mountain was still alive after such an attack.
As for whether he was seriously injured, no one cared much. With Han Feng, the alchemy master, there, as long as he had a breath left, he could recover his fighting strength.
Seeing that the Old Man of Eagle Mountain was still alive after such a terrifying sneak attack, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The people of Black Corner Region, on the other hand, showed their joy. Although Han Feng was the one who called for and led this operation, everyone knew that the Old Man of Eagle Mountain was the strongest in this operation.
If he had lost his life in this sneak attack, it would not only be a loss of a Dou Zong level fighter, but more importantly, a blow to morale. Perhaps, their entire group would be wiped out because of this.
"Lord Han Feng, Elder Yingshan needs some top-grade healing pills right now, what do you think?"
When Elder Yingshan was ambushed, the powerful attack naturally separated the two sides, each taking their own side. Of course, most people, looking at Xiao Yan's youthful face and his ability to stand in the void without needing Dou Qi wings, had rather strange expressions.
"Could it be that Canaan Academy is really that monstrous? Not only has it cultivated a peak sixth-grade alchemist, but even a brat who looks less than twenty years old has achieved the Dou Zong realm?"
A group of Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses from the Black Corner Region, looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, couldn't help but begin to doubt whether their years of ups and downs in the Black Corner Region had been a
waste. However, true Dou Zong powerhouses and some discerning Dou Huangs knew that Xiao Yan was merely possessed by a powerful soul entity.
"Since you have all come to support Han Feng, I am naturally responsible for your safety. As for Senior Ying Shan's injuries, I will certainly provide the best healing pills. Please rest assured."
Although Han Feng had previously considered abandoning the strange fire after obtaining the Burning Blade Technique, the situation was different now. He hadn't yet obtained the Burning Blade Technique, and if Elder Ying Shan were to fall now, the consequences would be severe. At
that point, not only would he not be able to obtain the Burning Blade Technique, but he might not even be able to save his life. He knew that old fellow Yao Chen very well. Since he dared to expose himself in front of the Canaan Academy members, he must have made thorough preparations and was certain that his information would not be leaked.
"Senior Ying Shan, this is a top-grade healing pill that Han Feng personally refined. Please take it."
Han Feng took out a bottle of top-grade healing pills from his storage ring and tossed it to Elder Ying Shan, who was not far away. Seeing Elder Ying Shan catch the jade bottle, a smile appeared on Han Feng's lips.
Inside were some of the few seventh-grade healing pills he had refined. After all, due to time constraints, he hadn't received much of the old ghost Yao Chen's inheritance back then. Moreover, the Northwest Continent was a barren land, and it had taken him many years to gather these few medicinal herbs.
"However," Han Feng glanced around, not seeing Lin Feng's figure, and a smile continued to flash across his lips, "it seems that guy's injuries are also quite serious. Or perhaps that move just now was Canaan Academy's trump card. Because of its immense power, it can only be used once in a short period of time, and it was aimed at the highest-level existence."
"That must be it!"
Han Feng was very certain in his heart. As for that guy, Iron Protector, the people of the Soul Hall had never been trustworthy. This time, as long as Elder Eagle Mountain recovered, he would definitely use his full strength and not hold back.
After all, he was almost killed!
Just as Han Feng was confident of victory, he began to imagine in his mind that he would obtain the complete Burning Technique, perfect his incomplete cultivation method, and make rapid progress in his battle qi cultivation.
Furthermore, there might be a chance in the future to obtain the many strange flames that appeared today: the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and even his own Sea Heart Flame.
If he could absorb and fuse all five of these, not only would he reach the Dou Zun realm, but his half-baked cultivation technique would also be able to completely overcome the embarrassing situation of insufficient Dou Qi after fusing with the five strange flames.
On this point, Xiao Yan can be said to have a lot to say. Who would have thought that when he first cultivated the Burning Technique, he needed to swallow a pill to restore Dou Qi in order to refine a single pill?
This was simply a disgrace to alchemists!
"Pfft!"
"Master Han Feng, you, you look!"
Just then, a very shocked voice rang out intermittently behind Han Feng, shattering his dream and immediately making his expression gloomy.
However, Han Feng was extremely shrewd. Since he still needed to use this little grasshopper, he did not release his anger, but instead looked in the direction the grasshopper was pointing.
At that glance, Han Feng felt dizzy, as if he were about to fall from the sky.
The old man from Eagle Mountain, who had caught the pill Han Feng threw at him, was heaving violently, blood streaming from his mouth, his life force rapidly dissipating.
Behind him, Lin Feng, who had been missing for so long, watched this scene expressionlessly, his hand piercing through the old man's chest from behind. Yes, this was Lin Feng's signature move: to make friends, one must be open and honest!
"You...you're despicable!"
"Pfft!"
As expected of a Dou Zong level expert, even after Lin Feng used such a secret technique, the old man still had a breath left. Seeing this, Lin Feng was immediately terrified and pulled his hand out of the old man's heart, taking a few steps back.
"Bang!"
The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame ignited, burning the blood on his arm to ashes. Lin Feng then unusually scanned his surroundings, as if searching for something.
"The soul power of this Old Man Eagle Mountain is the same as mine, having reached the peak of the Mortal Realm. He definitely won't die from the simple annihilation of his physical body."
Lin Feng recalled the strange feeling the Old Man Eagle Mountain had given him, as if he were deliberately seeking death. Indeed, when Lin Feng uttered those heartfelt words, he knew that the Old Man Eagle Mountain had seen through his actions, and those last few words of dying struggle were nothing more than an act in Lin Feng's eyes.
It can be said that if Lin Feng hadn't also possessed a soul power at the peak of the Mortal Realm, no one in the arena would have even noticed the Old Man Eagle Mountain's move.
Even Yao Chen, the former number one alchemist on the continent, whose soul power had reached the peak of the Spirit Realm and who had even stepped one foot into the legendary Heaven Realm, was so weakened that he could barely deal with a low-level Dou Zong, and he would have been able to escape.
In everyone's eyes, Lin Feng, who had undeniably killed Elder Eagle Mountain despite his somewhat dishonorable methods, stood motionless high in the sky, his gaze constantly scanning his surroundings.
Seeing this, the Canaan Academy members couldn't help but wonder, "Is there some other unexpected development?"
The Black Corner Region members, however, had no time to ponder. Their Dou Zong experts seemed to be on par with those of Canaan Academy, but the evil Dou Zong shrouded in black mist hadn't reappeared since his initial appearance.
Most likely, he had already been killed by that despicable Lin Feng. Now, the death of their strongest member, Elder Eagle Mountain, seemed to be the final straw. If it weren't for the extremely grim-faced Han Feng and the others holding them back, they would probably have already fled in panic.
However, even Han Feng and the Golden and Silver Elders, whom they relied on, were uncertain. The three exchanged glances, seemingly understanding each other's thoughts.
"Elders Jin and Yin, it seems our sect's plan is doomed to fail!"
Han Feng maintained a somber, contemplative expression, but secretly transmitted his voice to the two elders.
"Lin Feng is frozen in place for some reason, but this is our last chance to escape!"
"Master Han Feng, this..."
Seeing the hesitation on the elders' faces, Han Feng was so angry he almost fainted. He knew from their expressions that these two wanted to save their lives by surrendering.
"These two idiots! Things have come to this point. The entire Black Corner Region, and even the entire Northwest Continent, are watching the outcome of this battle. If you two can gain Canaan Academy's forgiveness by kneeling down like dogs, then in the future, any Dou Zong can come and challenge us, and if they fail, they can just kneel down and surrender!"
"Moreover," Han Feng glanced discreetly at Xiao Yan, or rather Yao Chen, who seemed to be deep in thought, "anyone can live today, but as long as this old guy is here, my sect only has the option of fleeing."
"Gentlemen, today we have stormed into Canaan Academy, even causing huge casualties in the inner courtyard. Do you really think they will let you go just because you beg for mercy?"
Han Feng gradually eroded the confidence of the Gold and Silver Elders. Only by taking these two Dou Zong-level idiots with him could he have a chance to escape.
"Have you forgotten what Lin Feng said when he severely injured you many years ago?"
The Gold and Silver Elders seemed to have been reminded of something by Han Feng's words, and recalling the burning, killing, and looting in the Black Corner Region over the years, their expressions became resolute.
The two brothers exchanged a secret glance. They weren't fools; they understood that Han Feng's eagerness to get them to escape was a ploy to buy them more time.
However, the Gold and Silver Elders were also eyeing Han Feng's collection.
While the three were scheming, Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed. In his sense, when his soul power swept across a certain spot on the ground, a strange devouring force appeared, instantly consuming that portion of his soul power.
"This feeling... could it be the Devouring Spirit Clan, the one the Soul Clan was responsible for wiping out in the original story?"
Lin Feng was secretly astonished. Based on his understanding of the original story, it seemed that only a certain genius from the Pill Tower and the Void Devouring Flame possessed this ability.
"Hehehe..."
As Lin Feng's soul power was devoured, a chilling sound slowly rose from the ground, followed by a series of compatible insects that gradually floated up.
Hearing that familiar, eerie laughter, Han Feng's face lit up with joy. "Could it be that Iron Protector?"
However, Han Feng was destined to be disappointed. A black object slowly floated up, its shape extremely strange, unlike any known magical beast on the Dou Qi Continent. Its aura seemed to be subtly repelled by the world.
"Hehehe,"
the classic laughter of the Soul Palace resounded again, but this laughter seemed even more powerful than that of the Soul Palace itself, as if it belonged to this strange magical beast!
"Lin Feng, I was going to spare your life, but you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup!"
The bizarre magical beast slowly opened its mouth, uttering a human voice. This didn't surprise anyone, as some gifted magical beasts at the fifth tier could speak human language.
"Oh? I'd like to see what trump card you still have now that you're just a soul!"
A hint of interest flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. With the Dragon Emperor's blood essence protecting him, he didn't think anyone could harm him. In fact, unless one reached the Saint level, no one in the world could break through the protection of the Dragon Emperor's blood essence!
"Hehehe, it's good to be confident, but anyone can talk big. Perfect, hehehe, this young and powerful body will become my new vessel."
"Disgusting thing, watch how I deal with you!"
"Ten Thousand Poisons Converge!"
Just then, Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor, who were supposed to appear in Yao Chen's plan, suddenly appeared beside Lin Feng. In Cai Lin's hand, there was a fire python that kept crashing against the seal.
Seeing this, Han Feng's pupils shrank sharply. "No wonder I always felt that the Fallen Heart Flame was all bark and no bite. It turns out that this beast's intelligence has reached such a level. It knows there are too many powerful figures around. If it forcibly breaks through, it will truly lose its chance to gain freedom."
Looking at the Fallen Heart Flame in the hands of the beautiful woman in red, Han Feng seemed to understand in an instant.
"However, a beast is still a beast. It would be so much better if it obediently let me absorb it. Now that it has fallen into the hands of Canaan Academy again, it may never have a chance to see the light of day again!"
"Wait!" Han Feng looked at the two women standing in mid-air and suddenly came back to his senses. "How is this possible? Two more Dou Zong powerhouses, and so young at that. This is impossible!"
"Cai Lin, Xian'er, your next task is to deal with Han Feng and the others from the Black Corner Region. As for this monster, just leave it to your husband!"
Seeing that the two women wanted to say something more, Lin Feng's lips twitched slightly, and he secretly transmitted his voice.
"Dragon Emperor's Essence Blood!"
