Chapter 346: The Demon Fire Space Opens

"Pavilion Master Su, your Langya Pavilion is being a bit underhanded this time!" Nearby, Gu Dao complained to Xiao Han with a twitching corner of his mouth.

From the moment Yi Huang and the other two appeared, they instantly attracted everyone's gaze.

After all, other factions, even the Ancient Race, would at most have a Four-Star Dou Saint Elder bring along a few junior Dou Saints to enter the Demon Fire Space to gain some experience and pay respects to the heroic bearing of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

But what are you trying to do with these three Four-Star Dou Saints?

Regarding Gu Dao's complaint, Xiao Han just laughed and said nonchalantly, "It is, after all, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame; who wouldn't want it?"

And this was the most reasonable explanation.

This thing, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, truly made everyone covet it immensely. If these three Dou Saints weren't here to compete for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, could they possibly be here to help others snatch it?

"Then this old man wishes your Excellency, the Ice Saint, success in your heart's desire," Gu Dao complimented with a smile.

"Heh, Gu Dao, it seems the bones of your Ancient Clan have gone soft." A detestable voice suddenly appeared.

"The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is something already in my clan's pocket; outsiders had best not interfere."

"Hun Yan, are you trying to trade blows with this old man?" Gu Dao's expression immediately turned gloomy, a long staff suddenly appearing in his palm, clearly looking prepared for a major fight.

"Fight then, as if this old man would be afraid of you." Hun Yan curled his lips and said grimly, "It just so happens I can see how much you've improved after all these years."

"Fine, let's have a go." Gu Dao was just about to step forward...

"Hey!" Xiao Han reached out to block Gu Dao, smiling calmly: "Elder Gu Dao, why get so angry!"

"The Ice Saint means..." Gu Dao asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Xiao Han shook his head, "It's just that some people seem to have forgotten certain memories and need me to help them refresh their recollection."

"Refresh my recollection?" Hun Yan laughed with a cackle, "It seems your Excellency, the Ice Saint, has forgotten your own promise?"

"I naturally wouldn't forget a promise." Xiao Han smiled "kindly," "Elder Hun Yan, rest easy; I won't be making a move."

Hun Yan suddenly had a bad premonition. Before he could react, the temperature around his body dropped to an extremely low level in an instant.

He only felt as if his body were enveloped by ten-thousand-year black ice; his originally formidable Dou Qi gradually stopped circulating, and frost slowly crawled all over his body—feet, calves, knees...

His body slowly lost sensation from the bottom up. In less than a minute, Hun Yan, one of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, had turned into a lifelike ice sculpture, his terrified eyes revealing his deep fear.

Seeing Hun Yan's completely helpless state, everyone on the scene was stunned. A sharp glint flashed through Tianyun Elder's eyes, while Fire Spirit Fairy did not even blink, and thinking of her own attempt to probe the Ice Saint not long ago, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Because Gu Dao had seen Xiao Han act before, he had some psychological preparation. Yet, he still felt shaken by Xiao Han's ability to instantly crush a powerhouse not much different from himself using only his aura.

"Is that a domain-type Dou Technique?" Tianyun Elder could not help but speak, staring fixedly at Xiao Han.

"Domain Dou Technique?" Gu Dao and the other were astonished, the envy in their eyes nearly overflowing.

Domain Dou Techniques are almost the rarest type of Dou Technique. Every domain can help the user easily contend with or even defeat powerhouses with higher cultivation, and it is a slaughter against those with lower cultivation.

It can be called a tool for bullying the weak and a treasure for combat!

However, wanting to find a domain Dou Technique suitable for oneself is a complete pipe dream; most heaven-gifted geniuses tend to use heavenly materials and their own insights to create their own domain Dou Techniques.

Precisely because of the harsh conditions for domain Dou Techniques, there are almost none who possess them. According to what Gu Dao and the others know, it seems even the Clan Leaders of the Ancient Race do not possess such ability.

It is not that their talent is insufficient, but that their strength is too great; a domain Dou Technique that can be used by a Dou Saint like the Ice Saint is unheard of!

Regarding everyone's surprise and envy, Xiao Han said flatly, "Just a little trick, it's completely useless for dealing with powerhouses of the same level."

At Xiao Han's level, the greatest use of a domain Dou Technique is for bullying the weak. Once one steps into the domain, those with weaker strength will be slaughtered instantly without even needing to fight back.

But facing powerhouses of the same level, it is at best better than nothing. Talents like Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi basically all have the ability to deal with domain Dou Techniques, and Xiao Han does not believe he has the qualifications to be proud.

Hearing that person's extremely "humble-brag" statement, the others felt their hearts bleeding!

It's easy to talk while standing, but a domain Dou Technique is the best way to show off in front of others.

Just like how Xiao Han dealt with Hun Yan earlier, without even making a move, relying on the domain to instantly suppress the opponent into a sculpture—it shocked the crowd for a whole year!

What a pity!

Gu Dao and the others lamented in their hearts, and even Tianyun Elder was slightly stunned.

"Pavilion Master Su, this Hun Yan is still alive, right?" Gu Dao asked cautiously.

If they were alone and had the chance to kill Hun Yan, Gu Dao would wake up laughing in his dreams.

But in public, if a Seven-Star Dou Saint of the domineering Soul Clan were to die, things would become quite troublesome.

Xiao Han understood what Gu Dao meant and explained:

"Rest assured, it's just that this old thing was too noisy, and I wanted some peace and quiet. I will naturally let him out after the struggle for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame ends."

Gu Dao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Hun Yan died here, who knows what madness the Soul Clan might commit; recently, those guys have started acting restless again.

After the previous interlude, Xiao Han finally turned to the main topic, "Are you all here to seal the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame?"

Tianyun Elder didn't even lift his eyelids, and after Gu Dao exchanged a glance with Fire Spirit Fairy, he nodded and said, "The Ice Saint guessed correctly; we are indeed here to provide the final layer of insurance."

"The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is powerful and has a very strong desire for revenge against the Dou Qi Continent. If that wicked beast were to escape, it would inevitably lead to a catastrophe!"

"It seems you all don't quite trust your own Elders!" Xiao Han laughed.

Hearing this, Gu Dao felt bitter, "To tell you the truth, there was once a time when we miscalculated the strength of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, which nearly led to the total annihilation of the powerhouses who entered the Demon Fire Space that time, and almost allowed the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to escape."

"Therefore, sending stronger people to guard it on the day the Demon Fire appears has become a convention. In fact, the Ice Saint being able to find this place also exceeded our expectations."

And while the few were talking, the conflict erupting below also attracted the attention of Xiao Han and the others.

Xiao Han scanned that familiar, annoying figure, a trace of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth, "This Yao Wangui is really getting worse with age, actually haggling with a group of juniors."

At this moment, Yao Wangui, who was confronting Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, had no idea that his ugly behavior was being fully displayed before a group of top-tier powerhouses.

Tianyun Elder glanced at them and stopped paying attention.

Because they were both from the Ancient Race, Gu Dao and the other could not say much, but the disappointment in their eyes was undisguised.

Based solely on what they saw, Yao Wangui's stubbornness and overestimation of his own abilities were fully displayed before the two.

A pair of eyes that could be thrown away entirely could not see Yao Chen's outstanding achievements, still regarding the other party as the abandoned outcast of the Yao Clan from the past.

He even took the initiative to attack when his strength was clearly inferior to Yao Chen's, fighting the other party to the bitter end, only to bring humiliation upon himself.

It can be said that with this wave, Yao Wangui has thrown away the face of the Yao Clan completely!

Several hours later, the space that had been flickering in and out of existence suddenly trembled violently, the milky-white halo expanded abruptly, the shattered space expanded from the original few zhang to several dozen zhang, and after one more vibration, a milky-white vortex slowly appeared before the space.

Seeing this, everyone turned serious.

"The Demon Fire Space..."

"Has opened!"
