Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-712

Yun Shan, who had received a heavy blow in the sky, swiftly fell in front
of many shocked gazes. However, when he was still a few dozens of meters
from the ground, both of his feet suddenly pressed on the empty air and
his body once again stabilized. However, the remnant blood trace on the
corner of his mouth and his savage, frightening face still proved that
the sudden attack earlier had only caused him some injuries.

Who could actually turn an elite Dou Zong like Yun Shan into such a
miserable state? This thought flashed across the hearts of many people.
Their gazes immediately shifted up before finally stopping at the
black-robed, young man in the sky… the somewhat illusionary human
figure beside him.

“Who is that?”

Their faces were all stunned and at a loss when they saw that illusionary
human figure, who was suspended beside Xiao Yan. Clearly, they were
extremely unfamiliar with this mysterious expert who had suddenly
appeared.

Other people might be unfamiliar with this illusionary figure but the
faces of Jia Xing Tian, Hai Bodong, and the others were suddenly filled
with joy when they saw the former intervening. The strongest trump card
of Xiao Yan had finally appeared. With the help of this mysterious
teacher of his, it should not be much of a problem defeating Yun Shan.

Everyone took the opportunity in the interspace between the battles to
exchange looks with one another. All of them saw a hidden joy within the
other party’s eyes. From the looks of it, the advantage in this big
fight today would gradually shift toward them. As long as Xiao Yan and
that teacher of his joined hands to kill Yun Shan, it was likely that the
Misty Cloud Sect would fall apart on its own without the need to attack.
It would be difficult for it to rise again in the future.

Compared to the joy of Hai Bodong and the others, the hearts of many
Misty Cloud Sect’s disciples and Elders had sunk greatly at this
moment. This was especially the case after they saw Yun Shan actually
spit out blood and be forced back. An uneasiness instantly surfaced
within their hearts. Being the pillar of the Misty Cloud Sect, if Yun
Shan were to be defeated today, the impact on the morale of the Misty
Cloud Sect would be extremely great.

Yun Shan naturally did not have time to bother about the different
emotions between both parties. At this moment, he was staring intently at
the old human figure suspended beside Xiao Yan’s side. A moment later,
he slowly wiped off the blood traces on the corner of his mouth as he
spoke with a dense, cold voice, “Back then, I faintly felt that this
fellow’s strength was a little strange. Only now am I aware that the
strength was actually you.”

Yao Lao in the sky glanced indifferently at Yun Shan below. He laughed
faintly, “How can I allow you to randomly humiliate and bully my
student? You are merely a little Dou Zong. If this were back then, this
venerate (refers to a Dou Zun) would only require a single sentence in
order to eliminate this Misty Cloud Sect of yours from the Dou Qi
Continent.”

The words from Yao Lao were not an exaggeration to frighten. With his
reputation on the continent back then, an ordinary elite Dou Zun would
not be able to compare with him. Moreover, he was extremely sociable with
many friends. There were even some extremely powerful people who
possessed a strength that was comparable with him and had a close
relationship with him. Although the Misty Cloud Sect had one elite Dou
Zong, the Yao Lao back then would indeed not even be slightly concerned
about it.

This venerate (refers to a Dou Zun)? Yao Lao’s form of address
immediately caused Yun Shan’s eyes to shrink slightly. This form of
address was something that only an elite Dou Zun was qualified to use. In
other words, this old fellow was actually an elite Dou Zun back then?

The shock in his heart continued for an instant before it slowly faded
away. Regardless of how strong Yao Lao was back then, he was merely just
a spiritual body at this moment. The fighting strength that he could
unleash was not even fifty-percent of his peak. There was no need to be
overly afraid of him. Moreover… he did not need to fight with this
person. There was someone who would deal with him.

“You are but a mere spiritual body yet you actually dare to act this
arrogant. Since you dare to appear today, I will get you to remain here
along with Xiao Yan.” Yun Shan suddenly smiled and said.

“By just relying on you?” Yao Lao slowly said. The dense white flame
appeared to possess a spirit as it continued to linger up and down around
his body.

“Hee hee, there will naturally be someone to deal with you. Moreover he
has been waiting for you for a long time…” Yun Shan laughed. He
immediately clapped and the clear sound slowly reverberated over this sky.

“Protector Wu, I shall hand this person to you.”

A large cluster of black fog suddenly came from within the grand hall of
the Misty Cloud Sect from all directions after Yun Shan’s voice
sounded. This black fog swiftly agglomerated in the sky before
transforming into a deep profound fog that was over ten feet wide.

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao looked at the black fog that had appeared. Their
faces simultaneously turned solemn. This damn old dog Yun Shan really was
collaborating with the ‘Hall of Souls’…

“Teacher, be careful!” Xiao Yan turned his head and spoke to Yao Lao
in a deep voice.

Yao Lao nodded slightly. His eyes did not blink as he looked at the
cluster of black fog. The dense white flame that was leaping around him
also quietly became much hotter.

“What is this?” There was a commotion that had immediately broken out
among the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect below when the black fog
appeared in the sky. Their gazes were filled with surprise. They actually
did not notice when such a mysterious person had hidden away within the
sect.

Yun Yun’s pretty face was shocked as she looked at the cluster of black
fog from the side of the wedding stage. She could tell that this was not
a good person from the way that this fellow had appeared. However, why
did he appear within the Musty Cloud Sect? Why did nobody mention it to
her in the past? She felt somewhat uneasy as this thought rotated within
her heart. Just what was the origin of this faction known as the ‘Hall
of Souls’? When did Yun Shan gain a relationship with them?

The sudden change of events also caused the faces of the originally
joyous Hai Bodong and the others to become slightly ugly. They were able
to faintly sense that the cluster of black fog was extraordinary.
Moreover, the most important thing was that this strange fellow clearly
stood on Yun Shan’s side. In this way, their advantage would completely
vanish…

“Just who is this fellow?” Jia Xing Tian shook and forced back the
Misty Cloud Sect’s elite Dou Huang with a palm before he cried out in a
deep voice to Hai Bodong a short distance away.

“I don’t know.” Hai Bodong shook his head. He immediately and
suddenly moved his body and unleashed a wild and violent attack at the
elite Dou Huang who was repeatedly pestering him. “There is a change in
the situation. Let’s hurry up and finish off our opponents and join
hands with Xiao Yan to attack Yun Shan!”

Jia Xing Tian and Fa Ma nodded heavily when they heard this. They did not
dare hold anything back at such times of emergency. Their powerful Dou Qi
was unleashed to their limits and they used a fierce, powerful attack on
their opponents in front of them. Under such vigorous attacks from
everyone, the Elders from the Misty Cloud Sect descended into a
disadvantage and were repeatedly losing ground. There were also some
weaker people who were the first to be killed during this period of time.
However, they also gave the other party an attack just before they died,
causing quite a bit of damage.

In an instant, this chaotic battleground and become unusually hot and
intense.

The cluster of black fog was naturally unconcerned about everyone’s
thought. A sinister strange laughter was emitted as the black fog rotated
continuously, much like a crow’s cry resounding across the sky.

“Tsk tsk, Yao Chen, it is really unexpected that you will actually come
to us. You were lucky to have fled back then and wasted quite a bit of
effort from our ‘Hall of Souls’… the hall’s chief will likely
rejoice if I capture you today.”

“A group of mouse-like monsters. Back then you borrowed the hands of
that bastard Han Feng to attack me. I will come and count this debt with
you properly!” Yao Lao’s gaze coldly observed the custer of black fog
called Protector Wu. His voice was also filled with fury and killing
intent.

“This protector might have been a little afraid of you if you possessed
a physical body. However, against a spiritual body, tsk tsk, our ‘Hall
of Souls’ have many different method to deal with you…” The black
fog rippled and shrank before finally slowly agglomerating into a human
figure whose entire body was covered within a black smoke in front of
everyone. There was a faint pair of bright-red eyes revealed from the
darkness.

Yao Lao’s eyes narrowed as they looked at Protector Wu who had appeared
in this form. The dense white flame leaped slightly as he spoke to Xiao
Yan, “It is as I have expected. The ‘Hall of Souls’ is hiding
within the Misty Cloud Sect. From the looks of it, I am unable to divert
myself to help you. This fellow is also not an ordinary person. It is
very difficult for me to kill him even if I attack.”

“Teacher, you can just focus entirely on pestering that fellow. I will
deal with Yun Shan.” Xiao Yan looked at the serious expression on Yao
Lao’s face and knew that it was likely that the big battle today would
really force him to use all of his triumph cards. He immediately nodded
and spoke in a deep voice.

Yao Lao sighed softly. The situation today was indeed a little risky…

“Protector Wu, I will leave that Yao Chen to you.” Yun Shan laughed
darkly as he looked at the increasingly solemn expression of the two
people. Finally, he spoke to Protector Wu.

“Yes.” Protector Wu nodded his head. He immediately glanced at Xiao
Yan and said, “You better not kill this little fellow. Their Xiao clan
still possesses something that our ‘Hall of Souls’ needs…”

Yun Shan frowned slightly when he heard this. He could only nod his head
and laugh, “Relax, I will leave him with a breath left.”

“Our Xiao clan has something that your ‘Hall of Souls’ need?”
Xiao Yan’s eyes immediately shrank when he heard Protector Wu’s
words. Thoughts rotated swiftly within his heart. An instant later, his
mind moved and he muttered to himself within his heart, “Don’t tell
me… the aim of the ‘Hall of Souls’ is that ‘Tou She Ancient
God’s Jade’? They also captured father because of this thing?”

Only at this moment did Xiao Yan understood why a mysterious faction like
the ‘Hall of Souls,’ which covered the entire continent, would attack
their Xiao clan…

“These bastards…” The corner of Xiao Yan’s mouth twitched
slightly. He clenched his fist tightly as his gaze stared intently at the
strange black fog.

Protector Wu merely glanced at Xiao Yan’s dense gaze before looking
away. His palm moved and a dark-black chain carried a ‘clang’ sound
as it was extended out from his palm. After which, it shook slightly and
meandered around his body like a poisonous snake.

The black-colored chain trembled slightly. A moment later, Protector Wu
let out a strange laugh. His hand trembled and the chain instantly broke
through the sky and turned into a black line that pierced toward Yao Lao
in an explosive manner.

Yao Lao’s expression became ice-cold when he saw that Protector Wu had
attacked. The dense white flame on his hand writhed and rushed out.

Yun Shan’s dark, dense eyes slowly turned toward Xiao Yan after seeing
Protector Wu and Yao Lao clashing together in an instant.

“Little bastard, now, I will see who else will come and help you!”

Xiao Yan slowly exhaled a breath of air as he looked at Yun Shan whose
face was filled with a dense, cold killing intent. Since this was the
case, he could only use his trump cards!
