”Hmph! Today is the first time I’ve ever used three Heavenly Flames to activate the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique—let’s see if you can handle its power!”

After the initial shock faded, Tian Huo Zun Zhe raised his right hand high, supporting the enormous multicolored fire disk from afar through the air.

As his shout fell, his arm suddenly flung forward.

That massive, blazing disk of multicolored flames tore through the sky with an earth-shaking boom, like a meteor crashing down from the heavens.

Under the stunned gazes of the survivors watching from a distance, the fiery disk spun furiously as it hurtled toward that speeding black figure!

Faced with this devastatingly powerful, thunderous fire disk closing in on him— Lue Feng Zun Zhe didn’t show the slightest sign of concern. Instead, he sneered, ”That turtle-slow thing dares try to take me on?”

In the next instant, his figure twisted abruptly, and—under Tian Huo Zun Zhe’s astonished gaze—slipped past the fire disk by a hair’s breadth!

Sword still gripped in hand, Lue Feng Zun Zhe maintained his terrifying speed, continuing his charge straight toward Tian Huo Zun Zhe.

Seeing the fire disk avoided so effortlessly, Tian Huo Zun Zhe quickly tried to control it to make a sharp one-eighty turn and chase after Lue Feng Zun Zhe.

But at this point, the two of them were already only a few hundred meters apart.

In this situation, the fire disk clearly couldn’t keep up with Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s incredible post-technique speed.

”Flowing Shadow Across the Nine Heavens!”

The earthy-yellow longsword in Lue Feng’s hand suddenly surged in size, expanding to dozens of meters in length.

Around the massive sword’s blade, sharp, pale-green streams of wind swirled violently—its presence utterly menacing.

Judging from the power this Dou Technique was emitting, it was in no way inferior to the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique powered by three Heavenly Flames!

However, at the same time he activated this powerful technique—his own soul-form body began to flicker and fade, becoming far more transparent, just like Tian Huo Zun Zhe’s.

Both of them were now exhausting their soul power at visible rates.

”Woeful Poison Force, Detonate!”

Just as it looked like Tian Huo Zun Zhe was about to be slashed apart by the incoming Dou Technique, Xiao Yixian suddenly extended her delicate hand into a fist, her crisp voice softly echoing outward.

”Damn it—no, this is bad!”

Because Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s attention had been split earlier, he had failed to notice the purple-brown poison lying dormant deep within his soul.

Now, as that poison suddenly exploded—his rhythm was instantly thrown into chaos.

Sensing the unexpected surge of virulent, soul-corrupting poison deep within him, Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s heart clenched.

Without hesitation, he quickly pinpointed the poisonous source, and hurriedly diverted his spiritual power to suppress it as best as he could.

But this moment of distraction had a cost: his speed sharply dropped.

Worse yet, the Dou Technique he was about to unleash—now already halfway formed suddenly collapsed and fizzled out.

After all, performing a high-class Dou Technique in his current state already required absolute focus.

Splitting his mind, and using a portion of his soul power to suppress the deadly poison?

That was enough to completely interrupt the Dou Technique.

Meanwhile, Tian Huo Zun Zhe instantly seized the opportunity. His figure shot backward like lightning.

At the same time, his mind locked onto the massive multicolored fire disk, directing it to smash down viciously toward Lue Feng Zun Zhe!

That massive fire disk tore through space, emitting sharp sonic booms as it closed in.

Seeing it barrel toward him from behind, Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s pupils suddenly shrank to needlepoints.

Even someone like him—if he took a direct hit from that thing, he might not die outright, but he’d definitely lose half his life!

”Phantom Blade Technique: Wind Edge!”

With a cold shout in his heart, the flames on Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s longsword suddenly flared with violent brilliance.

Then, with all his strength, he swung the sword forward!

His already-flickering soul form grew even more translucent—

As a result, a green-yellow sword light, nearly a hundred meters long, blazed to life in the blink of an eye!

The sword light, infused with sharp pale-green gusts and blazing earthy-yellow flames, slashed through the sky.

It carved a deep black line through the air, heading straight for Tian Huo Zun Zhe’s Five Ring Flame Expelling Disk.

”Boom!”

The razor-sharp sword light tore through space and collided violently with the fiery disk.

A thunderous rumble, like muffled thunder cracking across the sky, echoed above.

The two powerful Dou Techniques crashed together like a needle striking the point of a blade mutually corroding and tearing into each other.

Within seconds, the delicate energy balance inside both Dou Techniques was completely obliterated.

”Rumble—!”

After a brief, breathless silence, a world-shattering explosion erupted from the collision point.

The entire ruin trembled violently in that instant.

Below, vast stretches of dense forest were instantly vaporized, leaving the earth exposed, marred with meter-deep fissures.

Like a spiderweb, those cracks spread rapidly in all directions.

A massive shockwave of fire and Dou Qi burst forth from the impact zone.

A mushroom cloud of vibrant, multicolored flame mist slowly rose from the center of the explosion.

Because both Dou Techniques had been launched hastily, their energy structures were unstable, making it impossible to contain the full destructive force of the blast.

As a result, Lue Feng Zun Zhe was blasted backward with terrifying force!

”Ugh—!”

Sensing the presence of Fallen Heart Flame—which had devastating effects on him—hidden within the shockwave, Lue Feng Zun Zhe quickly waved his hand, forming a protective shield made from a fusion of Wind and Thunder Fury Flame.

But he had no time to worry about any injuries he may have sustained during the collision.

Taking advantage of the brief opening, he immediately focused all his attention inward, trying to suppress the deadly poison within his soul.

Because compared to a few external wounds, letting that venomous toxin invade his soul would be a far more catastrophic outcome.

As he focused his mind on the purple-brown liquid swirling within him, Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s expression turned grim.

”This kind of poison… Why is it so terrifying? Could it be… the Woeful Poison Body?!”

As a once-renowned figure of his era, Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s knowledge and experience were vast.

Now that he had recovered a bit of clarity, he began to vaguely piece together the truth about the terrifying toxin attacking him.

”Baleful Poison Yin Dou Qi—Condense!”

Spotting this perfect opening, Xiao Yixian raised her flawless jade-like hand in front of her, palm facing downward, her slender fingers curved gracefully.

From her fingertips, threads of inky black Dou Qi, thick and saturated with deadly intent, surged outward at high speed.

Within her palm, the black mist began to condense into a head-sized sphere.

Then she reached out with her other hand, grasping the air—and in an instant, a longbow formed from purple-brown Dou Qi appeared in her hand.

That sphere of special Baleful Poison Yin Dou Qi was gently pressed onto the bowstring.

Immediately, the black sphere rapidly morphed into a long, dark arrow.

Xiao Yixian smoothly hooked the bowstring with her delicate fingers and began pulling back.

As the bowstring drew tighter, the surrounding Dou Qi in the heavens and earth was wildly sucked into the arrow.

The energy contained within that black arrow grew more terrifying by the second.

When the bowstring was nearly at full draw—shaped like a full moon—Xiao Yixian bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood.

The tainted blood, saturated with her body’s toxin, splattered onto the arrow.

Finally, with a graceful motion, she aimed directly at Lue Feng Zun Zhe.

And let go.

”Whoosh!”

With a sharp tearing sound, the three-to-four-meter-long black arrow shot out like lightning.

Its speed was terrifying. The air trembled in its wake.

It screamed toward its target.
