Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 112 Hand over Yao Chen, and I'll spare your life.

"So, the reason Master was able to break through to the Dou Zong realm, and the reason the elders of the Yunlan Sect have experienced such a surge in strength, is all because of you?!"

Looking at the figure floating in the black mist in front of her, Yun Yun felt somewhat dazed.

"Hehehe, with your Yunlan Sect of trash like this, what kind of grand future do you think you can have? If it weren't for this protector's intervention, your master would have already died of old age in the secret chamber... Ah, don't burn me! I was wrong! Venerable One, I was wrong!"

Protector Wu sneered, about to spout some of the Soul Palace's signature boastful quotes, when he was suddenly scorched by the holy flames and let out a series of miserable screams, unable to speak coherently.

"But why? Why are you helping our teacher, helping our Yunlan Sect?"

Yun Yun couldn't help but ask.

"Why?" Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle, pinching Yun Yun's Pikachu. "My little Yun'er, you really are so naive and clueless. In this world, everyone is driven by self-interest. Who would help someone for no reason?"

"The reason this old fellow is helping your Yunlan Sect so much is simply because he's about to miss his own performance targets, which is why he's come to your Yunlan Sect."

"Performance?" Yun Yun was a little confused.

"Ah, that is, the soul."

Lin Ran spoke calmly, his palm slightly moving, holy flames igniting, and Protector Wu's screams grew louder and louder: "Will you introduce yourself, or should I do it?"

"I'll do it, Your Excellency, please stop burning it, I'll speak!"

Protector Wu cried out in agony, "Each protector in our Soul Palace has a soul quota, and we need to hand over a sufficient number of souls every so often."

"The Northwest Continent is backward and declining, and the Jia Ma Empire is even more so. If we use ordinary methods to search, we simply cannot meet the requirements. That's why I set my sights on the Yunlan Sect. Moreover... ah! Moreover, I also need a local power to complete some special tasks."

"A special mission?"

"garrulous."

Lin Ran pointed to Xiao Yan, who was in the vortex of Dou Qi on the high platform: "That kid is his target. But these things are not the key."

"You just need to understand that everyone who has benefited from this old guy, including your teacher, has had their souls implanted with a hidden trap by him. If he wants, these people's souls can be directly extracted and destroyed."

"The Yunlan Sect is a decent sect, but what if all its core members become the Soul Palace's soul storage depots..."

Lin Ran looked at Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, whose hands were clenched tightly and whose eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Protector Wu.

Aside from Lin Ran, the most important thing in Yun Yun's life was the Yunlan Sect.

At this moment, someone actually dared to play with and treat the Yunlan Sect like this. How could Yun Yun tolerate this?

Sensing Yun Yun's gaze, Protector Wu simply went ahead and started playing.

He realized that he had fallen into Lin Ran's hands and that escaping was almost impossible. He knew all too well how powerful the Venerable One was.

If that's the case, then why bother compromising like this?!

"You're right. The Yunlan Sect is already in ruins. With just a word from me, Protector, it will be severely weakened, if not completely destroyed!"

"You weak ants, do you really think you can withstand my power so easily?! Hehehe!!"

Bound by the holy flames, Protector Wu cackled maliciously. Under Yun Yun's shocked gaze, Protector Wu suddenly formed a hand seal with his hands.

The next moment, at least half of the elders of the Yunlan Sect who had just formed the array encountered problems, their bodies swaying and they fainted. The Yunyan Covering the Sun Array, which had just been erected, instantly developed countless cracks.

"Yun Lei! Yun Sheng! Damn it, what is this... Pfft!"

Yunshan's expression changed drastically. He tried to mend the flaws in the formation, but before he could do anything, a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Yunshan's aura began to plummet, and he couldn't even maintain his Dou Zong strength. He swayed and fell from mid-air.

"Old Sect Master!"

"Old Sect Master!!"

Exclamations rose and fell, but before they could figure out what was happening to Yunshan, not far above their heads, the fire lotus and the massive trident collided with each other like meteorites!

At the moment of collision, all the free energy in the world came to a standstill, and the clear sky darkened slightly.

"boom!"

The pause lasted for a moment, then two terrifying energies erupted violently in the sky, causing the entire space to become extremely distorted, like a towel being wrung out with great force, its wrinkles deeply visible.

The energy collided, and a storm of energy mixed with three different flames swept out from the center at an extremely fast speed. This flame storm was so fast that it covered the entire Cloud Peak in the blink of an eye!

"Pfft!"

Where the storm swept, the strong were still able to escape in a sorry state as the flames burned, but some of the weak were coughing up blood the moment they came into contact with the flames, their clothes turning to dust in an instant. If it weren't for their battle qi desperately protecting their bodies, their physical bodies would probably have been reduced to ashes in the storm of flames!

In the sky, as the firestorm swept through, all the powerful figures fled in disarray, their rear ends billowing with black smoke like birds with their backsides on fire.

Those who ran fast were stunned. The firestorm was just an energy ripple from the collision. They hadn't expected it to make these strong people so disheveled. It was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be at the point of energy collision.

"This level of energy burst..."

At the summit of Yunlan, Yun Yun's expression shifted, her eyes filled with worry.

Lin Ran patted Yun Yun's shoulder: "Don't worry, I've limited the blast radius of the energy; it won't hurt many people."

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Yun Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun Formation shattered just now, she was really worried that such a terrifying energy explosion would destroy the entire Cloud Mist Sect. Fortunately, Lin Ran was there.

but……

"How dare you do such a thing to my Yunlan Sect! You're courting death!"

Yun Yun's gaze was icy as she stared intently at the Protector Wu, who was bound by the Holy Flame.

The Dharma Protector laughed loudly.

He'd figured it out: all he was going to do was die anyway, so he might as well disgust a bunch of people before he died—that was a huge win.

But before he could even laugh twice, the searing pain struck again, and his laughter turned into wailing screams. He tried to resist, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"I've sealed his fighting spirit and soul. You can have some fun now."

Lin Ran used the Holy Flame to envelop and bind the soul of Protector Wu, then casually tossed it to Yun Yun: "Just don't let it scatter completely. I'll need it to make a puppet later. Without Yun Shan, the Yunlan Sect needs another Dou Zong-level fighter."

"The teacher has really..."

"Ah, accepting the power of the Soul Palace directly damaged the foundation of the soul. Even if he is saved, he will basically be like a living dead."

Lin Ran shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's red lips trembled, her jade hands clenched tightly, and tears welled in her eyes.

For Yunyun, Yunshan was both a teacher and a father figure.

She has come this far because Yunshan raised her from childhood, taught her martial arts and combat skills, and brought her to the Yunlan Sect.

Everything she has now is thanks to Yunshan's nurturing!

Although Yunshan's personality changed drastically after he came out of seclusion, his feelings for her were genuine; they were not just those of a master and disciple, but also those of a father and daughter!

therefore.

For Yun Yun, the hatred between Protector Wu and her was comparable to the hatred of killing her father!

Looking at the guardian Wu, who was bound by the holy flames and wailing in agony, Yun Yun's eyes were filled with an almost unconcealable icy killing intent.

Although she has a gentle nature, she is also the head of a sect, and naturally she has her own methods...

……

"boom!"

With the burst of energy, a massive firestorm, like a mushroom cloud, suddenly appeared in the sky. The earth-shattering explosion made countless people's ears ring, and the violent temperature that spread from the sky made everyone's faces show a look of horror.

The moment the blood-white mushroom cloud rose, two figures shot down from the sky simultaneously, like spheres struck by a heavy hammer. Along their path, crimson blood splattered across the sky, like a vivid blood rainbow.

Clearly, this burst of energy resulted in both sides suffering heavy losses!

"This guy... actually defeated a Dou Zong level expert?!"

As they dodged the terrifying aftershocks of the explosion, the crowd murmured in disbelief, their voices filled with obvious shock.

Although no one recognized Han Feng, his ability to traverse the void in mid-air was undeniable. Coupled with the assistance of the strange fire, his strength was probably among the top in the Dou Zong realm.

But today, a powerhouse of this caliber has suffered such severe injuries at Xiao Yan's hands. How could everyone not be shocked?

"Xiao Yan!!"

Under the silent sky, a sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out, and then a figure flashed beside Xiao Yan, who was falling rapidly, and grabbed him.

The person who made the move was Hai Bodong.

Hai Bodong had staked almost everything on Xiao Yan, including his future. How could he just sit by and watch Xiao Yan be defeated and die?

Grabbing Xiao Yan, who was covered in blood, Hai Bodong placed his hand on his chest, feeling the faint but still beating heartbeat, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"How is it, Elder Hai? Is he still alive?" Mittel Tengshan also rushed over, taking out several pills from his storage ring and stuffing them into Xiao Yan's mouth.

"Hmm, it's alright."

Hai Bodong nodded slightly, then clicked his tongue, looked up at Han Feng who was swaying precariously in mid-air, and his expression was solemn.

The fact that these two, who should have been fellow disciples, would engage in such a terrifying battle caught Hai Bodong completely off guard. However, no matter how things develop, he was firmly on Xiao Yan's side, and that was no longer an option.

"Old Hai, that person's condition isn't good either, what do you think...?"

Mittel Tengshan spoke in a low voice, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Hai Bodong's heart stirred slightly; he was quite tempted.

Although that person was a Dou Zong expert, his current condition must be extremely low. Moreover, the fact that he fought with Xiao Yan already indicated that there must be an irreconcilable conflict between them.

If he can be killed here, Xiao Yan will surely be able to develop better in the future!

In the current situation, Yunshan is seriously injured for some unknown reason, as are the elders of the Yunlan Sect.

With Yun Yun absent, he was practically the strongest fighter at the summit of Yunlan.

In that case, what is there to hesitate about?

"Keep an eye on Xiao Yan, I'll take action!"

Hai Bodong made up his mind, activated the ice wings on his back, and instantly transformed into a streak of ice light, rushing towards Han Feng. At the same time, a terrifying chill surged out.

The moisture in the air around him instantly solidified into countless hard ice particles. With a flick of his hand, the overwhelming ice particles, accompanied by a howling wind, slammed fiercely towards the location where Han Feng was.

At this moment, Han Feng, like Xiao Yan, was also unconscious, and his condition was even worse than Xiao Yan's.

After all, Han Feng didn't have the same protection as Xiao Yan, who had Yao Chen's soul within him.

However, just as the endless ice was about to fall on Han Feng, the golden token at Han Feng's waist suddenly trembled, and a layer of magnificent battle aura roared out, forming a battle aura barrier in front of Han Feng.

Countless icicles fell onto the barrier, yet not even the slightest ripple was stirred. This situation immediately made Hai Bodong's heart sink.

"A Dou Zong level expert is indeed not so easy to kill... I need to step up my game!"

"Mystic Ice Dragon Soars!"

Undeterred by his failed attack, Hai Bodong quickly formed hand seals, unleashing his icy battle qi without reservation.

A continuous stream of icy battle energy condensed and formed into several giant ice dragons, which roared towards Han Feng!

The ice dragons roared, as if to freeze the heavens and earth, but just as they were about to tear Han Feng's body apart, a soft sigh echoed from the void.

"Hai Bodong, I spared your life back then, not so that you would kill my people like this."

With a soft sigh, the space where the countless ice dragons were located suddenly froze, and the ice dragons, like frost and snow, all turned into frost and smoke and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Hai Bodong's expression changed drastically. Recalling that indifferent voice, it seemed as if some great terror had flashed through his mind. He retreated rapidly, rushing towards the outside of the Cloud Peak.

"Heh, isn't it a little too late to leave now?"

Hai Bodong retreated rapidly, but his calm laughter was filled with the playful schadenfreude of a cat catching a mouse. Immediately, the space around Hai Bodong froze, and his figure was forcibly bound in mid-air, unable to move at all.

Feeling the restrictive force on his body, Hai Bodong's expression changed drastically, but he was unable to move at all.

Before him, the tranquil space was suddenly torn apart, and a handsome figure slowly stepped out, smiling as he looked at him.

"Tear, tear space apart..."

Hai Bodong's heart sank completely. As a participant in various peak competitions, Hai Bodong, although only a Dou Huang, was knowledgeable and experienced, and naturally understood what kind of powerful person this kind of appearance represented.

Looking at that familiar face, Hai Bodong felt a little breathless.

In just one year, that young man who was once a Dou Zong has now broken through to Dou Zun. He was able to defeat a Dou Zun when he was a Dou Zong, so how strong must he be now that he is a Dou Zun?

"It's you..."

Xiao Yan slowly awoke, staring blankly at Lin Ran who stood calmly in the void. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Did you send Han Feng?!"

"I suppose so."

Lin Ran shrugged: "As Han Feng's boss, his subordinates have always had this wish in their hearts, so I, of course, have to help them out, right?"

"I must say, you're quite something. You didn't find any strange fire in the Tagor Desert, but you turned around and found a Myriad Spirit Beast Fire. You've got some pretty good opportunities."

"..."

Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched violently, and he fell silent.

He could put up a fight against Han Feng by relying on Yao Chen's soul power, but against Lin Ran...

"This guy's aura and strength are much stronger than last time. It is very likely that he has broken through to the Dou Zun level in just one year."

Yao Chen's wry smile, tinged with helplessness, echoed in Xiao Yan's mind: "I'm afraid we're really in trouble today, little guy."

Dou Zun is a completely different world from Dou Zong. Once you reach the Dou Zun level, you can completely control space. With Lin Ran's methods, even if they don't suffer any losses, they probably won't be able to escape.

Not to mention that they had just gone through a fierce battle with Han Feng.

"It's clear you've resigned yourselves to your fate."

Lin Ran waved his hand with a faint smile: "Don't be so nervous, Xiao Yan. Although I have some conflicts with Yao Chen, I have no grudges against you at all."

"Don't worry, as long as you obediently hand over the soul ring containing the medicinal dust to me, I will spare your life, how about it?"

Lin Ran said with amusement.

There's no way to harm Xiao Yan in the slightest. His agreement with Gu Xun'er wasn't just empty talk. From Lin Ran's perception alone, there are at least two Dou Zun secretly protecting Xiao Yan.

Moreover, its strength is even greater than those old guys from before!

Clearly, Gu Xun'er had taken action again to prevent anything from happening to her beloved Xiao Yan brother, whether she gave the order herself or asked her father.

Although Lin Ran was confident that he could kill Xiao Yan before those guys did, it would inevitably enrage Gu Xun'er and even make Gu Yuan take action!

Gu Yuan! That's Gu Yuan!

You absolutely cannot provoke them.

However, although Xiao Yan couldn't move, Yao Chen...

I'm determined to eat it!

"What did you say?"

Xiao Yan, who was already in despair, trembled violently upon hearing Lin Ran's words, and his eyes suddenly fell on the Bone Flame Ring on his hand.

You heard me right.

Lin Ran said with a smile.

"You are still young. You are already a Great Dou Master at only eighteen years old, and you also have a treasure like the Strange Fire. Judging from your Dou Qi attributes, you should also be an alchemist. You have a very promising future."

"I have always liked and cherished geniuses, so as long as you hand over Yao Chen, I will spare your life."

"You only get one chance, so please consider it carefully."
