Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-885

Su Qian’s expression changed slightly as he sensed the gradual spread
of dense cold killing intent from the Old Ground Demon Ghost’s body. It
seemed that this old fellow, who would not die, would insist on attacking
even if he had to risk the return of the headmaster.

“Be careful.”

Su Qian turned his head and spoke to Xiao Yan in a deep voice. The
strength of the Old Ground Demon Ghost was deep and unpredictable. Even
with the Little Fairy Doctor’s help, Xiao Yan would have difficulty
contending with him. After all, within the Dou Zong class, the difference
between every star was extremely large. It was quite difficult for one to
challenge another across different levels. Although Su Qian was
understood that Xiao Yan possessed quite a few powerful Dou Skill, these
Dou Skills merely possessed some deterring effects for an ordinary elite
Dou Zong. The Old Ground Demon Ghost was not included. Hence, it was
really somewhat difficult to predict this big battle…

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. His hand slowly paused on his chest and a
viciousness flashed across his eyes. If this old fellow, who would not
die, was really so stubborn, he could only give him something that he had
prepared…

“On the account of me being an old acquaintance of Mang Tian Chi, these
experts from the Demon Flame Valley will not attack. As long as the
academy students and the Inner Academy’s Elders do not randomly
intervene, the old me can let them off. However, I must definitely take
Xiao Yan’s life!” The Old Ground Demon Ghost’s gaze slowly swept
over the many Elders behind Su Qian and the densely packed students below
as he spoke in a faint voice.

Su Qian quietly sighed in relief when he heard the words of the Old
Ground Demon Ghost. The people whom he was most worried about were these
students. Their strengths were naturally incomparable with these experts
from the Demon Flame Valley. Should they really end up fighting, the
students would likely suffer great injuries and deaths. Of course, he
also clearly understood that the reason the Old Ground Demon Ghost was so
righteous was mainly because of the headmaster. This was because he knew
that if he really dared to attack these students from the younger
generation, the headmaster would definitely be furious should the matter
be passed into his ears. At that time, he… was not a match for the
headmaster.

The Old Ground Demon Ghost ignored Su Qian after saying these words. His
sinister gaze was turned to Xiao Yan. His feet immediately stepped on the
empty air as he slowly walked over. An indifferent voice reverberated
over the sky, “I heard that you little fellow can contend against some
elite Dou Zongs with just your Dou Huang strength. So be it, you and your
friend beside you can attack together. Otherwise, other people might say
that the old me does not give you the slightest chance.”

The Old Ground Demon Ghost’s words were filled with wild arrogance. Of
course, given his strength, he also possessed this right to be arrogant.
In the current ‘Black-Corner Region,’ it was quite difficult to find
someone who could contend with him in terms of strength. Those experts
from the same generation had either unluckily died or had left the
‘Black-Corner Region.’ From the somewhat younger generation, the top
people were people like Mo Tian Xing. However, with their strength, it
was still difficult for them to contend with the Old Ground Demon Ghost.

Su Qian’s expression sank when he saw the actions of the Old Ground
Demon Ghost. However, his body had just moved when a human figure
strangely flashed and appeared in front of him. Han Feng’s laughing
voice sounded, “First Elder Su Qian, your opponent is me. Therefore,
you should not go and intervene in the matters of others.”

A cold smile surfaced on Su Qian’s face as he looked at Han Feng who
had appeared a short distance in front of him. He said, “Han Feng, once
the headmaster is back, I will properly tell him about this matter. At
that time, I will see just who can protect you!”

Han Feng’s expression became unnatural when he heard Su Qian mention
the headmaster. Clearly, he was quite afraid of this legendary
headmaster. However, this uneasiness merely lasted for a moment before it
was tossed aside by him. At this stage, a grudge had already been formed
between the Jia Nan Academy and him. Saying anything else would not help
the situation. Moreover, this Dou Qi continent was huge. If he had the
intention to hide, even the elite Dou Zun Mang Tian Chi would not be able
to find him. He immediately laughed in a strange manner, “First Elder
Su Qian, you need not say such things to me. Mang Tian Chi has not been
back for over a decade. Who knows if he is still alive?”

Su Qian’s expression became even darker after Han Feng’s words
sounded. The many Inner Academy Elders behind him were also emitting a
fury from their eyes. Each of their faces were staring fiercely at the
latter. From the looks of it, they seemed to be planning on attacking as
a group.

“If you don’t wish to expand the battleground and injure the
students, I advise all of you to be a little quieter. Otherwise, the
experts from the Demon Flame Valley are not just useless people.” Han
Feng was not the least afraid when he saw the way the Inner Academy’s
Elders acted. He pointed at the group of people from the Demon Flame
Valley who had a fierce aura lingering over them and coldly laughed.

Su Qian waved his hand and suppressed the Inner Academy Elders behind
him. He spoke faintly, “All of you only need to pay attention to that
group of people. There is no need to be worried about my side. Should
anything wrong happen to Xiao Yan’s side… all of you will intervene
and lend a hand.”

“Yes!”

Hearing this, the Inner Academy Elders hesitated for a moment before
speaking in a respectful manner.

“He he, First Elder Su Qian is really sensible and knows how to
consider the overall situation.” Han Feng involuntarily laughed in a
strange manner when he heard this.

Su Qian completely ignored Han Feng’s words. He slowly stepped forward
and calmly said, “We were unable to determine a victor the last time.
Today, allow the old me to try and see just how strong the traitor, who
betrayed Yao zun-zhe (Dou Zun) back then, is after having been
transformed by the ‘Hall of Souls’ into this manner that is neither
human nor ghost.”

Su Qian’s feet violently stomped on the empty air after his last word
fell. Immediately, a powerful aura surged out of his body in all
directions. Under this aura, the space around him became somewhat
distorted.

A dark denseness gradually surged into Han Feng’s eyes as he sensed the
vast Heaven’s-might-like aura. He parted his mouth and smiled before
speaking in a sinister manner, “Relax, I will not disappoint you.”
Han Feng flapped his sleeves after speaking and an aura that was not the
least bit weaker than Su Qian swept out. Finally, it blocked Su Qian’s
momentum.

When these two elite Dou Zong’s auras collided in the sky, the many
students in the open ground below involuntarily felt their hearts
palpitating when they sensed the pressure that seeped down from the sky.
Was this the strength of an elite Dou Zong? Just the aura that radiated
from them was sufficient to cause the Dou Qi within their bodies to
become sluggish. If they were to face one head-on, would they not even be
able to move?

While Han Feng and Su Qian gradually entered a combat state, the Old
Ground Demon Ghost on the other side stepped through empty air and slowly
stopped around ten meters in front of Xiao Yan and the Little Fairy
Doctor. His serene ghost-flame-like eyes stared at the two of them as he
said in a faint voice, “Are the both of you attacking together or will
you take turns?”

The Little Fairy Doctor’s pretty face was cold. Her delicate white
hands were slowly extended from her sleeves. Her five long fingers were
gently curled up, and dense gray-colored Dou Qi immediately surged from
her body in all directions. Her somewhat demonic gray-purple eyes glanced
at the Old Ground Demon Ghost before turning her head to Xiao Yan and
softly said, “I will do it. Your current strength has far too much of a
gap with him. You will definitely be injured if you were to be struck by
an attack.”

Xiao Yan shook his head. He exhaled gently and said, “Let’s do it
together. You are also no match for him. Relax, I naturally possess my
own defensive abilities. You need not be distracted because of this.”
When he spoke until this point, he suddenly turned his head to Zi Yan,
“You should not intervene. The opponent this time around is not the
same as in the past. Do you understand?”

The small face of the originally extremely eager Zi Yan became downcast
when she heard these words of Xiao Yan. However, upon seeing the
solemness of the latter’s face, she knew that it was pointless to say
anything. All she could do was nod her head while feeling disappointed.

The Little Fairy Doctor did not say anything else after hearing Xiao
Yan’s insistence. She was originally a lady of few words. Moreover,
since Xiao Yan was insisting, it was likely that he was not purposefully
acting conceited given his character. Her somewhat skinny chin nodded
slightly as she flipped her ten long fingers. Her fingernails were
immediately extended by half a foot. A dense grayish-purple color and a
hidden fragrance lingered…

“Have you decided on everything?” The Old Ground Demon Ghost crossed
his hands over his chest while he stood at a spot over ten meters from
them. His eyes jumped between Xiao Yan and the Little Fairy Doctor. Those
words of his had just sounded when a gray-colored glow suddenly cut
through the air and shot over.

“Hmph!”

The Old Ground Demon Ghost let out a cold snort as he looked at the
gray-colored light sneaking toward him at great speed. He did not do much
as a dark-black cold air surged from within his body. The gray-colored
glow suddenly stiffened upon contact with the black cold air.
Immediately, it transformed into a-foot-long ice cube before bursting
into a pile of ice fragments and releasing a clear sound.

“It is unexpected that you are actually a skillful person that plays
with poison. I have really underestimated you…” The Old Ground Demon
Ghost’s shrivelled hand was molding a tiny gray ice cube, rubbing it
slightly as he he worked. Immediately, he uttered his words in a somewhat
surprised voice.

“There are many things that you are unaware of!” A clear, cold voice
sounded and the white figure instantly appeared in front of the Old
Ground Demon Ghost. Her grayish-purple nails contained a sharp glint and
carried an ear-piercing air-tearing sound as they targeted his throat.

“Squeak, squeak!”

The sharp fingernails flashed past. However, they suddenly stopped when
they made contact with the black-colored air surrounding the Old Ground
Demon Ghost. In the blink of an eye, a five-foot-long black ice crystal
appeared in front of him. The Little Fairy Doctor’s sharp fingernails
had difficulty advancing even an inch forward after they had pierced
halfway in.

The Old Ground Demon Ghost strangely smiled at the Little Fairy Doctor
from a spot separated by ice crystals. His body moved and suddenly
disappeared.

The Little Fairy Doctor’s face changed slightly when she saw the Old
Ground Demon Ghost disappear. She hurriedly cried out, “Xiao Yan, be
careful. He is targeting you.”

小医仙的喝声刚刚脱口，那不远处萧炎面前，身着黄色骷
髅袍的地魔老鬼便是鬼魅般的出现，一张如骷髅头的脸庞
，冲着萧炎阴森一笑，旋即五指如鬼爪般，毫不留情的直
接对着萧炎喉咙抓去，看那般劲力，若是被击中的话，恐
怕直接就会将萧炎喉咙洞穿。

“牙尖嘴利的小子，老夫我对你可是相当之厌恶，所以便
先将你解决吧！”

望着那一瞬间便是将要面临地魔老鬼致命攻势的萧炎，下
方场地之中，顿时响起无数道惊呼与尖叫声……

The Little Fairy Doctor’s cry had just left her mouth when a
yellow-colored-skull-robed Old Ground Demon Ghost appeared a short
distance in front of Xiao Yan in a ghost-like manner. A skull-head-like
face sinisterly smiled at Xiao Yan as his five fingers, that were similar
to a ghost claw, mercilessly struck at Xiao Yan’s throat. Looking at
the force, it was likely that they would penetrate Xiao Yan’s throat if
they struck him.

“Razor tongue brat, the old me loathes you quite greatly. Therefore, I
will finish you off first!”

Countless exclamations and sharp cries were immediately emitted from the
open ground below when they saw Xiao Yan facing a fatal attack from Old
Ground Demon Ghost within an instant…
