Chapter 110

In an instant, the battle situation became clear, Yao Lao alone fought two Hall of Souls guardians, and the high-level strength of the Cloud Mist Sect was no match for the Thunder Sect.

However, Yun Shan had not yet made a move.

Yun Shan coldly gazed at Xiao Li below, whose combat strength had sharply declined, his eyes full of killing intent, but he chose not to act now, instead turning his gaze to Jia Xingtian.

"Jia Xingtian, our sect gives you another chance: join my faction, and I will let your royal family continue to rule the Jia Ma Empire."

Yun Shan's expression remained unchanged, making it impossible for Jia Xingtian to read his thoughts.

Seeing Jia Xingtian silent, Yun Shan continued: "You also saw that our Cloud Mist Sect has two Fighting Sect experts as our trump cards, and I am about to break through to Fighting Sect yourself; do you think you can still stay out of this? Moreover, you just attacked the Thunder Sect."

Yun Shan's words clearly reminded Jia Xingtian, who had already acted against the Thunder Sect, making it impossible for him to remain aloof.

"I hope you keep your word," Jia Xingtian said, giving Yun Shan a deep look before rejoining the battle.

It was obvious that once Jia Xingtian, a nine-star Fighting Emperor, entered the fray, Su Mei and the others would instantly fall into a disadvantage.

A deep-yellow battle qi lance erupted explosively, shooting straight at Su Mei.

Su Mei's face turned deathly pale; having just blocked a combined attack from two Fighting Kings, she was utterly unable to act again.

The next moment, a torrent of silvery, formidable aura surged forward; merely standing there, its hard body blocked Jia Xingtian's attack, then a fierce punch blasted out, sending the unprepared Jia Xingtian flying.

Jia Xingtian's battle qi wings flapped rapidly, finally stabilizing his form in midair.

"Who is it!" Jia Xingtian shouted angrily.

The newcomer's appearance had now been revealed; Guardian Xuan's looks were unfamiliar to Jia Xingtian and the others, but the two Guardians Fu in the distance were well known, as everyone worked in this area and knew each other.

"Damn you, Yao Chen, you actually refined our Hall of Souls people into puppets!" Guardian Qi roared angrily.

Yao Lao chuckled, "It's rare that the Hall of Souls' members can be of such great use even after death."

"Earthly Demon Puppet, attack!"

Yao Lao looked at Jia Xingtian, let out a low shout, which also came from his mouth.

"Boom!"

As Yao Lao's shout fell, the Earthly Demon Puppet's knees bent slightly, then with a boom it shot forward like a rocket, propelled by that impact, slamming straight at Jia Xingtian.

Seeing the Earthly Demon Puppet still choosing a head‑on clash, the Cloud Mist Sect above immediately erupted in cries of alarm.

Speaking of which, this puppet is only at the half‑step Fighting Sect level, not yet a true Earthly Demon Puppet, but since it was bound to become one, Xiao Yan gave it that name.

Jia Xingtian's face changed drastically; this thing's aura surpassed Yun Shan's by a third, its body was extraordinarily hard, it felt no pain, and it was practically a fighting machine.

"Yun Shan, help me!"

Hearing Jia Xingtian's cry for help, Yun Shan frowned; although he wanted to first attack the other Thunder Sect members, Jia Xingtian had said so, after all he was an ally, a peak Fighting Emperor.

Never mind; it would merely let the Thunder Sect people live a bit longer, but stabilizing Jia Xingtian was more important.

Yun Shan made a swift decision, no longer straining to perform some void walk; a pair of large white wings unfurled, and he rushed straight at the Earthly Demon Puppet.

The Earthly Demon Puppet showed no emotional fluctuation; even if the opponent was a Fighting Saint, it still dared to step forward and throw a punch.

At the Earthly Demon Puppet's speed, it appeared before Yun Shan and the other in the blink of an eye; then its fist clenched again, a fiery‑red energy flowing from its demon core, quickly enveloping its entire arm, looking like a flame.

"Wind Annihilation Gale!"

Yun Shan's wind‑attribute battle qi gathered above his head, condensing into an azure broadsword over a zhang wide; as the sword formed, the surrounding space violently undulated, its immense energy astonishing.

The sword spun, emitting an unusually shrill sword cry, wildly sweeping toward the Earthly Demon Puppet, its power enough to cleave mountains and split rocks.

The Earthly Demon Puppet neither dodged nor evaded; the mountain‑cleaving strike landing on it amounted to no more than a crack.

The fiery‑red fist came crashing down, brutally smashing Yun Shan away, burning a large hole in his cloud‑sleeve robe.

The Earthly Demon Puppet was likewise blown away by Jia Xingtian, but the point of impact bore only a white mark.

Seeing the Earthly Demon Puppet withstand the attacks of Yun Shan and the other, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, yet secretly sent a voice transmission to someone.

"You once promised me you would attack the Cloud Mist Sect together with me; why haven't you acted yet?"

Inside Yao Lao's robe, a seven‑colored small snake slowly opened its eyes.

"Why are you in a hurry? I, the king, will naturally seek an opportunity."

Xiao Li felt somewhat helpless; this Medusa Queen really could hold her breath.

"What opportunity?"

Seeing Yao Lao wield the Flame‑Split Swallowing Wave Ruler to fling the two great guardians aside, the Medusa Queen's eyes flashed with seven‑colored light.

"Now!"

Seven‑colored battle qi lance transformed into a sword; the Medusa Queen materialized, thrusting a long sword straight at Guardian Wu.

Guardian Wu's expression changed drastically; chains coiled around his body to block the attack, but the sword moved like a living snake, penetrating every opening, finally piercing his body fiercely.

Guardian Wu's face shifted abruptly; at the last moment he forcibly twisted his torso, the sword passing through his chest, sparing his vitals.

Even so, Guardian Wu was badly wounded, and the chains were half‑cut by the Medusa Queen's successive strikes.

The Hall of Souls counters Yao Lao's spiritual form; Yao Lao can barely hold his own with Bone Spirit Chill Fire, but Medusa is different—facing such low‑class opponents, her ancient bloodline lets her completely overcome higher ranks.

Seeing Guardian Wu severely wounded, Guardian Qi was both shocked and angry, hastily dragging Guardian Wu aside.

"Despicable bastard, actually sneak‑attacking!"

Yao Lao didn't even bother to reply; he only wanted to kill them.

Azure flames burned; Yao Lao's fire shifted to Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, and in battle he continually changed the type of heavenly fire using his powerful soul power, the varied traits of the heavenly fires giving Guardian Wu and the other a terrible headache.

Guardian Wu and the others never imagined that Yao Lao actually possessed three kinds of heavenly fire.

At this moment the scales of victory had already tilted toward the Thunder Sect; one could say that aside from the clash between the Earthly Demon Puppet and Yun Shan, the Cloud Mist Sect side had completely fallen into a disadvantage.

"Damn it, retreat!"

Seeing the two Hall of Souls members trying to leave, Xiao Li gave a strange smile: "I've made plenty of preparations for today; how could I let you walk away so easily?"

"Four elders, please act to keep these two here; I will honor what I promised you."

Xiao Li was severely wounded; besides Xiao Ding, only four figures in black cloaks stood beside him, and even including Yao Lao, no one worried about Xiao Li's safety.

"Well then, thank you, Sect Leader Xiao Li."

The person at the forefront took off his/her robe, revealing a face full of wrinkles; behind the old woman, a snake tail swayed back and forth…

Thanks to Mosquito Leg's reward, thanks to Huan Brother rlg's reward, thanks to Die Ying's reward, thanks to book friend 333***599's reward.
