Chapter 354: Fighting the Dou Zun

"Uh... I have already killed several of your Hall of Souls protectors. This doesn't matter?" Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly.

"Haha! They were just some errand boys; if they die, they die!" Hearing this, Hun Qiu laughed loudly and said.

"Sigh! There are no human rights for workers!" Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, then asked suspiciously, "Although my talent is good, this shouldn't mean much to your Hall of Souls, right? Why do you want me to join so badly?"

"Your strength is good, and you are also an Alchemist. This already holds quite a bit of attraction for our Hall of Souls. As long as we cultivate you a little, I don't think it will be difficult for you to reach a Ninth-Grade Alchemist. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the Yin-Yang Dual Flames in your body. Although this kind of flame ranks low on the Exotic Fire Ranking, it is the most mysterious and the most difficult to subdue among these twenty-plus types of flames. Yet you not only subdued these Yin-Yang Dual Flames but also allowed them to grow to this point. Perhaps you don't know what this means, but we do. Therefore, I am sincerely inviting you to join, because I know that it is useless to try to seize these Yin-Yang Dual Flames by force." Hun Qiu said with a faint smile.

"I was wondering why the people from the Hall of Souls wanted me to join so badly! So it was because of these Yin-Yang Dual Flames!" Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Xiao Yan naturally knew the power of the Yin-Yang Dual Flames. As long as he swallowed one more Exotic Fire, he could reach the top five on the Exotic Fire Ranking. At that time, the Yin-Yang Dual Flames would definitely undergo a major change. This was something Xiao Yan had guessed long ago.

"Give up! I will not join the Hall of Souls!" Xiao Yan looked up at Hun Qiu and said decisively.

"Hmph! I have advised you so kindly, yet you refuse time and again. You truly refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Hun Qiu let out a cold snort, and two terrifying strands of black force Qi sprayed from his nostrils, blasting toward Xiao Yan. Since Xiao Yan was so unappreciative, he naturally had to give Xiao Yan an unforgettable lesson.

Xiao Yan looked at the two terrifying strands of force Qi blasting toward him and naturally didn't dare to be the least bit negligent, because this Hall of Souls Hall Master's casual strike was no weaker than the Mysterious Ice Giant Dragon formed by the Earth Demon Old Ghost earlier.

He saw the two terrifying strands of black force Qi suddenly transform into two black giant dragons several dozen zhang long as they were about to approach Xiao Yan. The two black giant dragons crossed and flew, heading toward Xiao Yan to strangle him.

"Dharma Heaven and Earth!"

As Xiao Yan's voice fell, his figure grew rapidly, becoming over a hundred zhang in size, like a mountain peak. With a wave of his right hand, an iron rod like a pillar supporting the sky appeared in his hand, and his hands moved rapidly, dancing the iron rod like a windmill.

"Bang! Bang!" The two black giant dragons collided directly with the iron rod, and then the iron rod, like a meat grinder, shredded the two giant dragons to pieces.

"You have some ability! I didn't expect you to have such a powerful move that you hadn't used yet!" Hun Qiu looked at Xiao Yan, who was over a hundred zhang tall, and was somewhat surprised.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan curled his lips into a cold sneer and said disdainfully, "There is still much you don't know!"

"Hmph! You really let it go to your head! Now I will let you see the true strength of a Dou Zun!" Seeing Xiao Yan look down on him so much, Hun Qiu let out a cold snort. Countless thick strands of black Dou Qi ribbons suddenly surged from the black clouds that covered the sky and sun, attacking Xiao Yan.

Looking at the ribbons of Dou Qi that covered the sky and earth, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, lightning flickering under his feet, and then his figure moved rapidly to meet these Dou Qi ribbons.

The iron rod danced with great force in Xiao Yan's hands, and strands of fierce force Qi shot from the iron rod, directly knocking away the surrounding Dou Qi ribbons.

However, these Dou Qi ribbons were like maggots on a tarsal bone; as soon as they were knocked away by Xiao Yan, they attacked Xiao Yan again with even more terrifying speed.

Moreover, there were more and more Dou Qi ribbons, gradually forming a massive sphere that enveloped Xiao Yan. The sphere was constantly shrinking, and it looked like it was about to capture Xiao Yan.

"Let's see how you can be arrogant now!" Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to be captured, Hun Qiu sneered.

But just when Hun Qiu was feeling proud, he saw those Dou Qi ribbons that had enveloped Xiao Yan begin to burn rapidly, and then they transformed into nothingness.

"As expected of an Exotic Fire that is about to enter the top five of the Exotic Fire Ranking; its power is indeed extraordinary! However, if your strength had reached Dou Huang, I would still fear you a little, but you are only a Dou Huang, and you are still far from being able to exert the full power of the Exotic Fire." Seeing that these Dou Qi ribbons had not taken down Xiao Yan, Hun Qiu was not too discouraged.

"Hehe, then let's try!" Xiao Yan put away the iron rod in his hand, his hands forming seals before him, golden light surging in his palms, and countless golden giant dragons tossed and turned within them.

"Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"

As Xiao Yan's voice fell, the golden light mass at Xiao Yan's chest exploded suddenly, and countless golden fire giant dragons surged from it. Each of these golden fire giant dragons was over ten zhang in size.

"Yin!" Under Xiao Yan's mental control, these golden fire giant dragons let out a dragon roar like thunder, and then rapidly surged toward the black clouds that covered the sky and earth.

After the golden fire giant dragons entered the black clouds, they all opened their bloody maws, and a terrifying suction force was generated in their mouths, swallowing the black clouds into their bellies.

"Boom!" When the golden fire giant dragons had swallowed enough black clouds, they began to explode directly. The terrifying force Qi ripples generated by the explosion bloomed in the sky like fireworks. For a time, the entire sky became beautiful.

Those who had already moved far away, upon seeing these golden fireworks, widened their eyes, and then they discovered that the originally dark sky had suddenly become bright again.

"You are truly not bad!" After the clouds that covered the sky and sun dispersed, a person wrapped in black clothes appeared before Xiao Yan, praising him.

"Thanks for the compliment! I just don't like the darkness!" Xiao Yan's body began to shrink rapidly, finally returning to the size of an adult. However, although his body had shrunk, the aura on his body had become even more powerful.

"I originally wanted to play with you, but since you want to seek death so much, don't blame me!" Hun Qiu said in a sinister tone.

As soon as Hun Qiu finished speaking, his body appeared directly behind Xiao Yan. Dou Zun experts could traverse space at will; his speed was not just for show.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Xiao Yan was struck by a palm on his back. His body staggered, falling forward, and then he felt as if a massive mountain had collided with his body. His chest felt tight, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth.

Before Xiao Yan could wipe the fresh blood from his mouth, his soul perception detected that Hun Qiu had appeared behind him again. He wanted to use the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, but he was still a step too slow.

"Bang!" A low sound rang out, and Xiao Yan was struck by a palm on his back again. The power of this palm far exceeded the previous one, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth again.
