Chapter 560: Too Late
Under the tree canopy, the brilliant Origin Emperor Flame shone like a blazing sun. However, Hunshan, Xiao Ze's opponent, was having a hard time. Based on his past battle experience, his mid-stage Dou Saint strength should have given him a significant advantage over Xiao Ze, who was only at the early stage of Dou Saint. But fighting Xiao Ze was a completely different experience.
Xiao Ze continuously unleashed the Emperor Seal Technique, a skill comparable to low-level heaven-tier Dou Techniques. His Dou Qi seemed endless, flowing like an unending river, despite his extravagant use. The most troublesome part was the strange golden flame. Even though Hunshan knew from the clan's intelligence that Xiao Ze possessed an unknown flame, facing it in battle revealed its terrifying power.
The souls refined into Hunshan's robe were not ordinary souls; combined, they were formidable even for a typical Dou Saint. Yet, the golden flame melted them faster than snow under the scorching sun. Amidst his frantic defense, Hunshan even felt that this flame's power was comparable to the absurd strength of Lord Nihility Devouring Flame.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Hunshan's sleeve shook, and with the clinking of metal, numerous chains shot out from behind him. These chains, capable of piercing mountains and tearing through the earth, aimed at the golden palm imprints. Meanwhile, under his control, the soul bodies dispersed and returned to his side. A quick scan revealed a loss of nearly thirty percent, causing Hunshan's face to twitch.
Even the specially crafted chains couldn't withstand the golden palm imprints, being pushed back continuously. Energy surged, and the golden flame illuminated the entire area, its majestic power shaking Yaofeng, who was fighting Xun'er and her companions.
Despite Xiao Ze being a three-star Dou Saint, a seemingly lower rank, he appeared to have the upper hand against the mid-stage Dou Saint, Hunshan. Furthermore, Xun'er, Qing Lin, and Little Doctor Immortal's combined efforts, utilizing their unique abilities, made it difficult for Yaofeng to gain the upper hand. Faced with the ancestral Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, the Calamity Poison Body, and the Green Snake Three Flower Eyes, a single misstep could lead to disaster.
This situation made Yaofeng consider retreating. Sensing this, Hunshan bellowed, raising his desiccated hand, which radiated an alarming energy. Simply raising his hand caused the surrounding space to shatter.
"Ten Thousand Souls Splitting Sky Claw!"
With a mere sweep of his hand, several Emperor Seal Techniques were shattered. Even the pervasive Origin Emperor Flame was forcibly extinguished by the terrifying energy. The backlash caused Hunshan to pale slightly, but he knew he had to act decisively. If Xiao Ze continued to gain the upper hand, Yaofeng would likely flee. Without Yaofeng's assistance, Hunshan would face certain death against the four Dou Saints.
Seeing this, Xiao Ze smiled and moved forward. He could have worn Hunshan down with countless heaven-tier Dou Techniques due to his endless Dou Qi. Under the Bodhi Ancient Tree's canopy, the stable energy of the world prevented Dou Saints from drawing upon it, forcing them to rely on their Dou Qi reserves. Once depleted, they could only rely on their physical bodies, which significantly reduced their combat effectiveness.
Xiao Ze intended to capture Hunshan quickly and didn't want to let the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Dou Saint escape. With this rare opportunity, it was a perfect time to weaken both clans. Therefore, he aimed to swiftly defeat Hunshan.
Xiao Ze, unafraid of close combat, leveraged his physical prowess to attack Hunshan's weaknesses.
"Huang Quan Finger, Huang Quan Palm!"
The golden light from his attacks collided with Hunshan, who, though initially confident, found his attacks less effective against Xiao Ze's Huang Quan Palm.
In their clash, the palm shattered, but Hunshan's energy dissipated, leaving him even paler. Recognizing Xiao Ze's intermediate heaven-tier Dou Techniques, Hunshan was both terrified and impressed. Xiao Ze's mastery of multiple heaven-tier techniques within a short time was astonishing.
Xiao Ze abandoned his advantage of Dou Techniques for close combat. Despite his emaciated appearance, Hunshan believed his refined Dou Saint body surpassed that of Xiao Ze, who had only been a Dou Saint for a few years.
Gathering the soul bodies into his hands, Hunshan lunged at Xiao Ze with a sinister smile. "Kid, let me show you the price of arrogance."
Xiao Ze met Hunshan's attack head-on, his golden fist shining like a sun. Their clash shattered the surrounding space, creating black voids that could easily destroy a typical Dou Zun. Yet, both fighters were undeterred, expanding the voids into black holes.
In moments, they exchanged hundreds of blows. Hunshan, initially confident, found his advantage slipping away. Xiao Ze's mastery and physical strength were far beyond what Hunshan had anticipated, making it difficult for him to escape.
Realizing Xiao Ze's potential, Hunshan's resolve to kill him grew. Xiao Ze's capabilities, if unchecked, posed a significant threat to the Soul Clan. This awareness came too late, however, as Hunshan faced the dire consequences of his miscalculation.
