Sensing the overwhelming aura surging out from Protector Wu’s body, Lin Feng’s expression grew considerably more serious.

This time, he didn’t plan to rely on Tian Huo Zun Zhe. He intended to defeat Protector Wu by his own strength.

Although he currently held the upper hand, he didn’t dare to get careless.

Inside his body, the emerald-green flame surged through specific meridians before suddenly bursting forth with immense energy.

Pushed by this energy, Lin Feng’s Dou Qi level soared straight to the rank of an Eight-Star Dou Huang.

”Hmm? A secret technique?”

Protector Wu’s voice first revealed slight surprise, then quickly turned mocking. ”Boy, don’t tell me you actually believe an Eight-Star Dou Huang can change the outcome of a battle against a Dou Zong-level expert? Jie jie!”

”Heh… well, how about we put that to the test!”

As he spoke, a pair of bone wings nearly ten meters wide suddenly extended from Lin Feng’s back with a violent snap.

With a light tremor, gales roared behind him while thunder rumbled beneath his feet. His figure blurred and vanished in that very instant.

The next moment, Lin Feng suddenly appeared high above Protector Wu’s head.

The emerald flames around his body surged wildly. In the blink of an eye, a massive fire python condensed in front of him and then shot down at the black mist below at terrifying speed.

The intense heat distorted the air along its path.

”Damn it! How is this brat so fast?!”

Watching the lingering chain of afterimages slowly fading behind Lin Feng, Protector Wu’s pupils shrank slightly as he cursed inwardly.

”Triple Soul Lock!”

Feeling the terrifying heat of the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame, Protector Wu dared not be careless.

As his shout fell, the space beside him rippled, and several pitch-black chains inscribed with mysterious runes shot out rapidly to intercept the emerald fire python.

”Great Wind Palm!”

In between them, Yun Shan seized the opportunity. Forming hand seals, he swung his right arm, summoning an azure energy palm nearly ten meters tall that slammed down toward the black mist.

In the distance, Queen Medusa’s fair palm had, at some unknown point, condensed a dazzling seven-colored energy longsword.

With a few graceful swings, several radiant sword beams of seven-colored light slashed toward the figure hidden within the black mist.

”Bastards! Ganging up on me?!”

Feeling the pressure rapidly closing in from both sides, Protector Wu cursed furiously.

He quickly decided to dodge the Dou Techniques coming from the sides and take Lin Feng’s fire python head-on.

With a flick, he retracted his chains and his body shot backward.

Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip away.

Under his control, the fire python’s body rapidly expanded, instantly closing the distance between them before slamming straight into Protector Wu.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed through the sky as the fire python exploded on impact, erupting into a sea of emerald flames.

”You little bastard! This protector will skin you alive and rip out your soul to vent my hatred!”

Not long after the python exploded, a sharp, vicious voice rang out across the heavens.

Immediately after, a visible shockwave burst forth from the explosion’s center, sweeping in all directions and clearing away the surrounding flames.

Protector Wu, now slightly dimmed in appearance, reappeared within everyone’s sight.

With a wave of his sleeve, sinister black mist surged rapidly out of his body.

That black mist continuously fused and condensed in the sky until it formed a pitch-black cloud layer.

Even the sunlight from high above could no longer penetrate.

In an instant, the entire valley—and even the nearby mountain ranges—were cast into eerie darkness.

Amidst the swirling black clouds, Protector Wu’s presence seemed to vanish completely, as if he had become one with the shadows.

Upon seeing this, both Medusa and Yun Shan’s expressions turned serious.

Even they were unable to sense Protector Wu’s presence at the moment.

”This formation… not bad. Even someone like me—a sixth-tier alchemist—can’t sense your aura,” Lin Feng commented lightly.

Sensing some disturbance in the black clouds behind him, Lin Feng swiftly summoned a flame spirit.

Under his control, the flame spirit lunged toward the seemingly empty space behind him.

Boom!

At the spot where the flame spirit struck, a shadow suddenly appeared, and emerald flames clashed violently with black mist.

A surge of fierce force mixed with Heavenly Flame burst outward, sweeping across the surrounding sky.

As the fiery blast spread, the flames weakened slightly, but the black mist along the way was thinned by the burning heat.

Medusa and Yun Shan immediately spotted Protector Wu’s hiding place.

The two of them launched Dou Techniques at once, taking Lin Feng’s place in the offensive.

”But Protector Wu, don’t forget—I carry a flame that specifically restrains this kind of thing!”

With a slight smirk, Lin Feng began channeling the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame into his palm.

Having practiced the advanced flame control technique Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique, his control over fire was naturally formidable.

Under his full focus, more than a dozen massive emerald flame serpents rapidly condensed into form.

Moments later, they scattered in all directions across the sky.

”Explode!”

Gazing at the evenly spread fire serpents within the black cloud, Lin Feng gave a soft command.

The moment the word was spoken, the serpents’ already-huge bodies expanded even further.

BOOM!

A series of thunderous explosions followed, as emerald flames surged across the sky, instantly engulfing the entire black cloud formation.

Before Protector Wu’s panicked eyes, every part of the black mist that came into contact with the emerald flames melted like snow under a blazing sun.

As the flames gradually dispersed, the once-dense black mist had become almost transparent.

Brilliant noonday sunlight once again spilled across the land.

With the protective formation destroyed, Protector Wu’s figure was finally exposed.

”Damn that Heavenly Flame… Brat, this protector will remember you! Don’t let me catch you again!”

Seeing how thoroughly he was restrained by the flame, Protector Wu left a harsh threat behind and turned to flee.

”Protector Wu, I owe your Hall of Souls for helping me break through the Dou Huang barrier. I’ve yet to repay the favor. Why don’t you stay and have a meal before leaving?”

Noticing his attempt to escape, Yun Shan lightly tapped the air beneath his feet and instantly appeared in front of Protector Wu, smiling as he spoke.

”This protector is choosing to retreat of my own accord. What more do you want? Yun Shan, are you truly determined to make an enemy of my Hall of Souls?”

With his escape route blocked, Protector Wu’s voice turned sharp and menacing, though a trace of desperation seeped through.

After that fierce battle, he was very aware—if this dragged on any longer, he really might end up becoming that ”meal.”

Thus, he pinned his hopes on bluffing Yun Shan into backing down.

”Weren’t you arrogant just a moment ago? And now you’re nothing more than a fleeing dog.”

Watching the weakened black mist surrounding them, Medusa let out a cold laugh and stepped forward with her sword, joining the encirclement.

”Fine! Since you won’t let me go, then this protector will fight you to the death!”

Seeing Lin Feng, Yun Shan, and Medusa form a triangular blockade that sealed off all escape routes, Protector Wu’s expression twisted.

He hardened his heart and, ignoring the consequences of failing to deliver the soul, pulled out a Soul Bag from his storage ring.
