Chapter 353: The Hall Master Makes a Move

Xiao Yan's body flames erupted suddenly, and waves of fire shot into the sky, directly burning the entire space into a sea of fire.

At this moment, Xiao Yan had become a sun, emitting a dazzling light in the sky, making the original night as bright as day.

As the flames around Xiao Yan erupted, the flame pillar, like a volcanic eruption, directly swallowed the cold ice pillar spat out by the icy dragon, and then shot straight into the icy dragon's body.

The spiral flame pillar, like a drill, dug fiercely into the icy dragon's body, drilling a large hole through it.

"Ao!" The icy dragon let out a miserable howl, and then its entire body was enveloped by flames, beginning to melt rapidly. In just the blink of an eye, the icy dragon, which had been nearly a hundred zhang in size, turned into a mass of white mist and disappeared from the sky.

With the disappearance of the icy dragon, the Di Mo Lao Gui's body was revealed. However, the Di Mo Lao Gui was now covered in blood, breathing his last.

Xiao Yan retracted the Yin-Yang Dual Flames into his body, returned to human form, and arrived before the Di Mo Lao Gui.

"Can you... spare me!" The Di Mo Lao Gui looked at Xiao Yan and pleaded in a low voice.

"No!" Xiao Yan curled his lips into a cold sneer and then struck the Di Mo Lao Gui's chest with a palm, shattering his heart.

"Puchi!" The Di Mo Lao Gui spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at Xiao Yan, the regret in his eyes was self-evident, but he still closed his eyes in unwillingness.

Xiao Yan reached out and grabbed the Di Mo Lao Gui's body, then directly froze it and stored it in his storage ring.

The darkness gradually faded, and the sky began to be lightly tinted with a faint blue-gray, as if it were the first stroke an artist carefully applied to a canvas. The eastern horizon glowed faintly; it was the messenger of dawn, signaling that a new day was about to arrive.

At this moment, whether it was Xiao Yan or the personnel watching from afar, everyone placed their hands on their foreheads to block the blinding sunlight.

"I didn't expect to fight for an entire night!" Xiao Yan looked at the sun rising in the east and said with emotion.

It wasn't just Xiao Yan who felt emotional; those watching from afar also felt emotional. The battle last night was simply too spectacular, truly unforgettable for a lifetime.

What shocked them even more was that Xiao Yan had actually killed four Dou Zongs in a row. I fear that from now on, no one in the Black-Corner Region will not know the name Xiao Yan, though it would be under another name—Xiong Ba.

"Pa pa pa!" Just when everyone thought everything was about to end, a round of applause echoed in everyone's ears.

With the sound of the applause, the sky, which was about to brighten, suddenly turned dark again. Countless black clouds rolled, covering the entire sky. For a time, the entire Hei Huang Cheng and the areas outside it fell into darkness once more, as if it were the end of the world.

This sudden scene naturally attracted everyone to look up, but they only saw the endless black clouds and the murderous aura emanating from them.

At this moment, those who loved to watch the excitement and those who wanted to pick up bargains no longer dared to stay, fleeing rapidly, wishing they had grown a few more legs.

The seven-star Dou Zong Di Mo Lao Gui could only influence the weather, but this person could control it. This was truly too terrifying.

Xiao Yan looked at the endless black clouds, his brows furrowed tightly, because this pressure was truly too strong. He had originally thought that a Dou Zun-level expert was at most a bit stronger than a Dou Zong, with the added ability to control space, but now Xiao Yan felt he was wrong. Dou Zun and Dou Zong were simply not on the same level.

"Teacher, is this the strength of a one-star Dou Zun?" Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Yao Lao smiled faintly and asked indifferently, "Are you afraid?"

"Afraid! Just kidding, what do I have to be afraid of!" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, though there wasn't a trace of fear in his heart.

Xiao Yan naturally had the capital to dare to fight a Dou Zun. Not to mention anything else, just his Dou Zun-level body and the Yin-Yang Dual Flames were enough to ensure Xiao Yan wouldn't be killed. Coupled with his powerful soul, fighting this Hall of Souls Hall Master would at most result in failure, but it was unlikely that this Hall of Souls Hall Master could kill him.

Although the momentum created by this Hall of Souls Hall Master when he appeared was not small, it was all just an illusion. Xiao Yan's true strength was only at the peak of Dou Huang; if he reached Dou Zong, coupled with his Exotic Fire, Xiao Yan also had the confidence to create such momentum.

Yao Lao saw that Xiao Yan still had no fear when facing a Dou Zun and was somewhat surprised. After all, he had once been a Dou Zun and knew how strong a Dou Zun really was. Although Xiao Yan possessed a terrifying physical body, he lacked experience in fighting a Dou Zun, so he would definitely suffer quite a loss.

But it would only be suffering some losses. For Xiao Yan, who possessed such a heaven-defying Exotic Fire as the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, this was nothing.

Under Xiao Yan's gaze, the black clouds that covered the sky and sun squirmed rapidly, finally condensing into a massive head a hundred zhang in size. Two massive eyes shot out a scarlet ray, looking directly at Xiao Yan, and then it opened its abyss-like maw and said, "Are you Xiao Yan?"

"Hehe, I am Xiao Yan. I assume you are the Hall of Souls Hall Master who has been hiding in the shadows and peeking?" Xiao Yan stared at this massive head and smiled faintly.

"Oh? You actually knew I was here?" Now it was the Hall of Souls Hall Master's turn to be surprised.

"You are truly narcissistic!" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

Facing Xiao Yan's disdain, the Hall of Souls Hall Master didn't care, instead saying, "Your strength truly surprises me. I didn't expect that at just over twenty years of age, you could reach such strength, and even kill four of my Hall of Souls protectors in a row. Killing a Dou Zong in your hands is as simple as killing a chicken or a dog."

"Alright! Stop the flattery! It's making my body feel cold! If you have something to say, say it quickly; if not, I'm leaving!" Xiao Yan waved his hand, directly interrupting the Hall of Souls Hall Master's boasting.

Seeing Xiao Yan's impatience, the Hall of Souls Hall Master was silent for a moment before saying, "I am the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master responsible for this Northwest Continent region, Hun Qiu. Do you want to join the Hall of Souls? With your talent, only by joining the Hall of Souls can you receive the best cultivation."

"Get get get! Why do you all want me to join the Hall of Souls? I am in opposition to the Hall of Souls; I have no interest in joining!" Xiao Yan said speechlessly.

Hearing this, Hun Qiu smiled faintly and said indifferently, "You don't have much of a conflict with the Hall of Souls. We only kidnapped your father, and your father is living very well in the Hall of Souls. His strength has already reached the peak of Dou Wang, and he is only one step away from reaching Dou Huang. As long as you join the Hall of Souls, you can be reunited with your father. Isn't that good?"
