964. Emerging one after another
The next moment, both of them felt a chill run through their bodies. Even though the voice had appeared, they still couldn't sense where their master was.
Not to mention, the anger and killing intent of the person who spoke were completely undisguised.
"There's an ambush! Retreat!"
Then, Hunfeng saw the sky crack open!
Endless clouds surged and spread wildly in all directions, revealing a vast expanse of azure sky! A gigantic, phantom-like hand, seemingly capable of obscuring the sun, moon, and stars, appeared in the center of this cracked sky!
This hand was not made of flesh and blood, but of flames. The flames did not burn violently, but rather took on a near-solid, perfect form, slowly flowing and outlining the perfectly clear palm lines. A vast, oppressive force, like the laws of heaven and earth, descended with a deafening roar!
The moment the giant hand appeared, a thought arose in the minds of Hun Feng and Hun Mu: This palm strike is too powerful to withstand!
But the terror in their eyes couldn't change anything; they were completely unable to move their bodies. This seemed to be the hidden expert's purpose: to make them witness their own death. Time seemed to freeze as the giant hand crashed down, striking Hun Mu as if utterly unstoppable.
Hun Mu's physical body was then shattered, turning into a cloud of blood mist. His Heavenly Realm soul escaped immediately, but was also shattered by the palm wind that was as powerful as that heaven.
Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, all other methods become meaningless.
Before Hunfeng could even directly face the palm strike, the residual force of it was enough to make her feel as if she had been struck by an invisible, ten-thousand-pound hammer. Her protective battle aura instantly dissipated, and she flew backward like a broken rag doll, spitting out blood, screaming in agony, and crashing heavily onto a distant mountain rock.
The reason he didn't die immediately was entirely because the Void Devouring Flame sub-fire helped Soul Wind absorb a portion of the energy impact at the most crucial moment.
After striking with his palm, Yan Jin appeared, standing with his hands behind his back, surrounded by two-colored flames, like a master of flames.
The power of a single strike from a Nine-Star Dou Sheng is terrifying!
Killing a Soul Palace Dou Sheng expert with a single palm strike and severely injuring Soul Wind was certainly not Yan Jin's limit, but he was no longer in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he quietly watched the spatial vortex in the sky that had not yet closed.
"I deliberately didn't sever the space here because I wanted to play the long game and catch a big fish. I didn't expect the Soul Clan to be so alert. They woke up immediately after losing a four-star Dou Sheng."
It wasn't that Yan Jin didn't want to continue attacking Hun Feng, but rather that the true experts of the Soul Clan had already arrived, and if he continued to attack Hun Feng, he might actually be at a disadvantage.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the former stray dogs of the Yan Clan actually dare to attack the Soul Clan. Their courage is truly commendable."
Emerging from within the vortex was a man enveloped in black flames. His entire body was covered in eerie black runes, and his eyes, like black holes, exuded a terrifying devouring power. He emanated an extremely ancient and eerie aura.
The moment this person appeared, he released a vortex to retrieve the severely injured Soul Wind. After catching Soul Wind, the person glanced at him and confirmed that, under the protection of the Void Devouring Flame, Soul Wind was not in mortal danger despite his serious injuries. He then tore open another spatial rift, threw Soul Wind into it, and no longer cared about Soul Wind's injuries, focusing instead on facing Flame Ash.
The pressure from Yan Jin, a nine-star Dou Sheng level being, was as insignificant as a feather in front of this person.
"I may be a stray dog, but rest assured, as long as I have a breath left, I will not let a single member of the Soul Clan escape!"
"A nine-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan, or perhaps I should call you the owner of the Void Devouring Flame!" Yan Jin said fiercely, looking at the man.
Yan Jin clearly remembered this person. It was this person who first stopped him on the day the Soul Clan attacked the Flame Clan, and then took action to eliminate the Flame Clan's greatest trump card. This person's strength had already reached the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. To this day, Yan Jin still did not know this person's identity. According to the Flame Clan's existing intelligence, it was impossible for such a person to exist within the Soul Clan.
Among the descendants of Dou Di, the Soul Clan's methods are the most unpredictable. With this nine-star Dou Sheng powerhouse already before them, debating the legitimacy of his existence is pointless. It's enough to know that the Soul Clan possesses such a formidable expert, wielding the Void Devouring Flame, the second-ranked Different Flame in the Different Flame Gang, making him the second most dangerous figure after the Soul Clan's patriarch, Soul Heaven Emperor.
But then the man gave a strange smile, his voice carrying an inhuman eeriness: "Yan Jin, back then you used the Yan Clan Emperor Soul to self-destruct, but I never expected that not only would you have managed to escape alive, but you would also have managed to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. I really regret it a little."
"The Soul Clan slaughtered tens of millions of my Flame Clan's descendants, incurring the wrath of heaven and the hatred of the people. The anger of those Flame Clan descendants has been condensed into me, and I will avenge every single debt!"
No further words were needed; just seeing these Soul Clan members ignited a surge of rage within Yan Jin.
Two completely different kinds of strange fire were burning fiercely around Yan Jin. Although they hadn't made a move yet, these two flames seemed to fully sense their master's emotions, and their intense heat had already affected the entire space. Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi, who were watching from the sidelines, had to retreat a bit. The power of the flames on Yan Jin's body was truly beyond imagination, and even though they possessed strange fire, they couldn't completely escape its influence.
Seeing the flames beside Yan Jin, Xiao Yan felt a unique message from the strange fire within his body and asked Huo Zhi, "That's also a strange fire on Clan Chief Yan Jin, right? Two kinds of strange fire!"
Huo Zhi nodded and replied, "They are different flames, namely the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame, ranked seventh on the Different Flame Ranking, and the Volcanic Stone Flame, ranked seventeenth."
The repulsion between different types of strange fire can be extremely fierce, which is why Xiao Yan was able to create the Fire Lotus Fighting Technique by utilizing this characteristic. All of this is based on Xiao Yan possessing the Burning Blade Technique, which allows him to fuse different fires into one on a daily basis.
Xiao Yan knew that Yan Jin couldn't possibly possess the Burning Technique, but the fact that he could use two different flames at this moment meant there was only one possibility—he forcibly absorbed the two flames using his own strength!
This might be unimaginable to ordinary people, but this is Yan Jin, a nine-star Dou Sheng level expert. Xiao Yan can accept that he can do this.
"With the two different flames combined, along with Senior Yan Jin's strength, their power is probably approaching that of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The Soul Clan man with the Void Devouring Flame sneered upon seeing this: "Not bad, not bad, you seem flawless. Let me test the mettle of your Nine-Star Dou Sheng!"
