199. The Battle Saint Makes His Move
However, before Xiao Yan could check on Little Fairy Doctor's condition, the second-ranked protector of the Soul Palace also let out a scream, but the scream only lasted for a moment before it stopped abruptly.
Just like the previous guardian, his aura also rapidly increased within three breaths, completely breaking through the level barrier between Dou Zong and Dou Zun in an instant.
It's happening again?!
Although the reason is unknown, it is clear that the Soul Palace's Battle Saint has no intention of taking action himself.
Instead, he used the body of the protector to make his move. The body of the Soul Palace protector, whose strength had just swelled to the level of a low-star Dou Zun, could not withstand the sudden and terrifying power and was directly burst apart! He only swung a palm in the instant before the explosion. Even a strike from a low-star Dou Zun is devastating to a Dou Zong, and it almost killed Little Fairy Doctor!
Before Xiao Yan even had a chance to observe, the second attack came immediately!
"Defend with all your might!" Xiao Yan roared at Zi Yan.
An attack launched by a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) could lead to a life-or-death crisis if one is even slightly careless!
Xiao Yan began to condense all his Dou Qi into a Dou Qi defense in front of him. Xiao Yi Xian's actual strength was already enough to not be afraid of the combined attack of the four guardians, but she was directly hit by a palm and her life or death was unknown!
Now, whoever gets hit by this blow is doomed!
Below the level of Dou Sheng, all are mere ants, let alone the fact that these few only possess the strength of Dou Zong. The difference in strength between them is almost unimaginable!
Just before the last remaining guardian of the Soul Palace began to crumble, he swung his palm like a blade and unleashed an energy shockwave. The moment the action ended, the last guardian of the Soul Palace turned into specks of soul energy floating in the spatial passage.
With the addition of the guardian who died at Yan Di's hands, all five guardians of the Soul Palace have perished.
The last guardian unleashed an energy attack that stretched over ten zhang before his death, heading directly towards Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi.
Xiao Yan felt a sense of despair as he watched the attack. Huo Zhi had almost lost her ability to fight during the outburst just now, and even if he could extract the Dou Qi from Huo Zhi's body, he would only be a nine-star Dou Zong!
What's in front of me is a full-force attack from a Dou Zun!
Xiao Yan subconsciously pulled Huo Zhi behind him, raised his right hand, and poured all his fighting spirit into it without regard to the cost.
At this critical moment, Xiao Yan could no longer afford to hold back. He had to try to use his Devouring Power to absorb this attack!
"Xiao Yan!" Zi Yan cried out in concern, her body radiating purple light as she rushed to help Xiao Yan block the terrifying attack.
However, Zi Yan was ultimately a step too slow. The terrifying energy bypassed Zi Yan and struck Xiao Yan directly!
Just when Zi Yan was about to give up in despair, a figure shielded Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi behind him.
Despite its small stature, it was more stable than a mountain, completely blocking the Dou Zun-level attack without any impact on Huo Zhi and Xiao Yan.
"Uncle Di..." Huo Zhi exclaimed in surprise, though her voice was weak due to the aftereffects of the earlier outburst.
As Yan Di shielded Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi from the attack, a nauseatingly blue-green beam of light enveloped Yan Di.
Yan Di forcibly shielded Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi from the attack of the Dou Sheng, and thus had to withstand a move from the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable. As Yan Di was enveloped by the beam of light shot out by the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable, the light of the Emperor Flame Mark that was originally burning brightly on Yan Di's forehead dimmed, Yan Di's face was somewhat unhealthy and flushed, and a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of Yan Di's mouth.
"Hehehe." The Celestial Venerable of Sacrificial Spirits said in a hoarse yet arrogant voice, "Yan Di, how about surrendering and I'll spare your corpse?"
At this moment, the third eye on the forehead of the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable was already open to its limit. In fact, due to the expansion of the two-colored pupil, the area around the third eye had cracked, making it look as if the two pupils were about to bulge out of it.
At this moment, the Celestial Venerable of Sacrifice was no longer as composed as he had been when he arrived. His body was covered with many black scorch marks. Although the poisonous mist released by Venerable Huiyou was still following him closely, its area had shrunk considerably.
Clearly, they had also suffered considerable losses in their battle with Yan Di, but the wounds on their bodies did not seem to affect the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with a madness that showed no fear of death!
The fire-type battle qi within Yan Di's body caused the temperature of this space to rise again, and the poisonous mist that Venerable Huiyou had originally tried to slip through was directly evaporated by this temperature.
"Judging from what I just saw, even if I can't use my spatial abilities, the two of you combined are still no match for me!"
"Hehehehe, Yan Di, you died because of your pride." The Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable looked at Yan Di with a teasing, cat-and-mouse expression.
"We came here to ambush you, so how could we not know your situation? Your strongest spatial ability is unusable here, and your Great Flaming Sun Technique will run out of steam after a while due to your impure attributes. Am I right, Fifth-Rank Dou Zun Yan Di!"
A flicker of despair flashed in Yan Di's eyes, precisely caught by the Spirit Sacrifice Celestial Venerable. The Spirit Sacrifice Celestial Venerable's strength was only at the mid-stage of the Nine-Star Dou Zun realm. Originally, even if he joined forces with Venerable Huiyou, they would not be a match for Yan Di. However, under the circumstances today, it could be said that Yan Di would die by his own hand.
Since joining the Soul Palace, the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable has enjoyed the feeling of slaughtering his opponents, and making an opponent like Yan Di, whose strength is far above his own, feel despair makes him even more excited!
However, that ancient aura flashed once more within the spatial passage, and the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable slowly shook his head, saying with some reluctance in his eyes, "It's a pity, I must personally send you away."
"Huiyou, let's do it together!"
Having said that, the Celestial Venerable of Sacrifice raised his hands upwards, and each of his three eyes began to erupt with extremely strong energy fluctuations, a terrifying attack slowly brewing.
The poisonous mist that had been spreading over Venerable Huiyou began to shrink, and the dark gray poisonous mist slowly shrank into the shape of a giant python, its lifeless eyes staring straight at Yan Di.
Yan Di seemed to have already given up, and did not directly interrupt the two's actions.
Only Xiao Yan knew what had happened behind the scenes, when Yan Di shielded Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi from the attack.
A voice had already resounded in Xiao Yan's heart:
"Xiao Yan, do me a favor, and I'll ensure your safe departure, okay?"
