Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

"Then why are you targeting me? Do you want to turn me into a living dead like you?"

Upon hearing this question, the man wielding the Void Devouring Flame smiled again: "Yan Jin, you're wrong again. Although you are indeed quite interesting, able to break through and rise to the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng, posing a threat to me, I'm really not interested in you. What I truly care about is the person behind you."

"Is the target me?" Both Yan Jin and Xiao Yan were quite surprised at this moment: the Soul Clan had made such a big fuss, even sending out the four eight-star Dou Sheng they had resurrected at great expense, but their ultimate target was actually Xiao Yan.

"Of course, I love doing business like taking down a nine-star Dou Sheng while capturing this kid!" The man looked at Xiao Yan and his companions as if they were prey about to die at their hands.

"Take them down!"

At this point, the four Soul Clan Eight-Star Dou Sheng experts who were lying in ambush in the four directions immediately released their Dou Qi as ordered. The four of them locked down all possible escape routes, clearly intending to take them down completely!

Their simple action instantly put immense pressure on Qing Lin and Xiao Yan; the gap between them was still too great!

Yan Jin reached out and blocked the pressure falling on them.

The Lord of Void Flame pressed his right hand down hard in the void, and the Devouring Vortex instantly revealed an extremely profound and terrifying aspect, as if it was about to completely devour the three of them.

Yan Jin took a deep breath, and two completely different strange flames surged out from his body. The flames were accompanied by a furious roar, instantly engulfing the area around the devouring vortex.

"High-level Celestial Rank, Roar of the Flame God!"

"High-level Celestial Rank, Heaven-Slaying Soul Lock!"

The four Soul Clan Eight-Star Dou Shengs moved in perfect unison, unleashing identical Dou Techniques. Two enormous, dark chains appeared around each of them, and the eight chains quickly combined in mid-air, firmly sealing Xiao Yan and his companions inside.

These chains are completely different from the battle aura chains released by ordinary Soul Clan members. Every inch of the chains is covered with extremely complex and obscure symbols. When combined, these runes seem to come alive, moving irregularly across the chains, giving the overall impression of being unbreakable.

Yan Jin stretched out his right hand, and a huge hand of fire condensed in the void, colliding fiercely with the central area of ​​the iron chain combination.

With a deafening roar, Yan Jin's two-colored flames soared into the air, continuously striking the iron chains, their hissing sounds echoing. As the chains were breached, the four people almost simultaneously trembled slightly.

The leader of the four frowned and immediately said in a deep voice, "Don't stop! We absolutely cannot ruin the master's plan!"

Then, blood-red light surged from the eyes of the four men, and streaks of blood-red runes began to appear on the dark iron chains, their speed of movement suddenly increasing.

"Cut it off!"

Yan Jin was not to be outdone, his battle qi surging in, causing the fiery claws in the void to grow larger and larger. They continued to grow, eventually revealing forearms, upper arms, and even half of his torso.

"We'll find a chance to leave later!"

"And what about you, Elder Jin?"

Flames blazed in Yan Jin's eyes. The situation was indeed hopeless, but he would never give up. He still had an irreconcilable blood feud with the Soul Clan to settle.

"I'll hold them off for now. Don't hesitate later. The trap they've set up today is almost impossible to escape. If any one of us three can make it, that's one more chance."

Seeing this, Xiao Yan exchanged a glance with Qing Lin, then nodded vigorously. He quickly took out two items from his storage ring: one was the ninth-grade Xuan Dan that Xiao Yan and Yao Lao had refined, and the other was the Hurricane Qi he had obtained at the Medicine Clan Trade Fair.

As Yan Jin said, the current situation is almost certain to end in certain death. The six people currently fighting are all at least eight-star Dou Sheng level. Xiao Yan and Qing Lin staying here will only add unnecessary obstacles for Yan Jin, and will have no other effect.

"After we leave, the chances of Elder Jin escaping will be much higher."

As Xiao Yan's thoughts raced, the cage designed and set up by the four eight-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan could not ultimately contain Yan Jin, who forcibly broke through it with his own brute force.

Just then, wave after wave of cold black ripples began to spread. Yan Jin tried to block them, but the ripples spread too quickly. The moment he touched one, a cloud of black mist rose from his body.

These mists were extremely terrifying. The moment they approached Yan Jin, they materialized into hideous mouths with clearly visible, fine, sharp teeth, which began to frantically gnaw at Yan Jin's body. They didn't actually bite Yan Jin's body; they were simply absorbing his battle aura.

"Get out of here!"

With a roar, Yan Jin's body was almost instantly engulfed by the two-colored flames. His mouths, however, were not afraid of the flames at all and instead began to bite even more frantically.

At this moment, Yan Jin couldn't care less about Xiao Yan and Qing Lin. The two of them were facing an eight-star Dou Sheng from one direction alone. According to what Yan Jin had just said, this person was named Hun Sheng Tian.

Fortunately, the four seemed determined not to let them escape. Even as Yan Jin faced the master of the Void Devouring Flame, they remained in their positions and did not blindly rush to help.

At this moment, Qinglin's most handy ice crystal blade appeared in her hand, and she unleashed a huge ice slash nearly a hundred feet long in the direction of Hunshengtian!

"A mere six-star Dou Sheng is nothing but a trivial skill."

Hun Shengtian didn't even think. His hands shot out like lightning, instantly transforming into a pair of enormous black mist hands. With a crisp crack, Qing Lin's slash was crushed to pieces in mid-air.

The next moment, a transparent chill spread out, and the blue light in Qinglin's eyes shone brightly. She gripped the cold blade tightly with both hands, spun around in mid-air, and unleashed another slash, this time with much greater force.

"Um?"

Hun Shengtian sensed something was wrong. He hadn't expected Qinglin to actually unleash such unexpected power. However, even so, it couldn't change anything. He summoned two enormous mist hands, one above and one below, as if trying to completely crush Qinglin in the middle.

Just then, a black figure flashed by and appeared directly in the midst of Hun Shengtian's attack.

The moment the enormous black mist hand closed, the chilling aura released by Qinglin and the powerful energy released by the suddenly appearing black figure destroyed one of them respectively. The mist hand could not close, and its effect was naturally greatly reduced.

The second attack unleashed by Hun Shengtian was broken once again!
