Capítulo 104: Chapter 104: Capture!
The way he appeared was so strange that it was clear he wasn't a good person. However, he actually showed up at the Yun Lan Sect and had connections with her teacher, yet as the sect master, she knew nothing of this.
In a short span, as thoughts swirled in her mind, she felt slightly uneasy. It seemed that her respected teacher had changed at some point, becoming different.
"Elder Wu, is what he just said true?" Yun Shan fixed his gaze on Elder Wu, wanting to know the truth from him.
"Ke ke ke, Yun Shan, taking something from the Hall of Souls isn't that easy!" Elder Wu sneered.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shan's body trembled, and he looked at Elder Wu in disbelief, stammering, "You, you, despicable!"
"Despicable? Without me, you would have perished during your breakthrough long ago. What qualifications would you have to witness the scenery of a Dou Zong?" Elder Wu sneered coldly, giving Yun Shan a harsh look. If Yun Shan dared to turn his back on him, he would let Yun Shan know the means of the Hall of Souls.
In the end, Yun Shan didn't have the courage to turn against him. He cast a disdainful glance at Elder Wu, who then turned his attention to Jiang Yun and the others.
"Unexpectedly, you have such boldness. Knowing that the Hall of Souls is here, you still dare to step into the tiger's den. Should I commend your bravery or your ignorance?"
"Ha, one mere Protector isn't enough to scare me!" Facing Elder Wu's threat, Jiang Yun sneered with contempt. Under his gaze, he took out a jade bottle, saying coldly.
"Protector? It's not like I haven't seen one before!"
As fire surged in his palm, a shrill scream came from the jade bottle.
"Ah!"
"That's... Protector Xuan?" Elder Wu's expression shifted, glaring at Jiang Yun. "How dare you lay a hand on the people of the Hall of Souls. Today, I'll make you pay for offending us!"
"Ding—"
With a wave of his hand, black mist surged, and a pitch-black chain extended from Elder Wu's hand with a clattering sound. The chain coiled like a venomous snake beside him.
"Ke ke ke—"
"Yun Shan, capture those little girls!"
With a strange laugh, Elder Wu shook his arm, and the chain turned into a black line, thrusting toward Jiang Yun.
"This trick again!"
Seeing the familiar attack, Jiang Yun's expression changed. A pure white flame in his hand condensed into a pale white long sword, which leaped forward to meet the attack.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing Yun Shan blocking her path, Ziyan's body moved. Her face icy cold, she glared at Yun Shan with purple eyes, where a purple dragon roared from the depths.
"How dare a mere Dou Huang act presumptuously!"
Under Ziyan's gaze, Yun Shan felt as if he was being watched by an ancient beast. His arm tingled slightly. Sneering, he shook his sleeve, and the turbulent dark blue energy within him surged and trembled, quickly forming a gigantic blue longsword.
As the sword formed, the surrounding space fluctuated violently.
"Heh, a minor trick."
Seeing the vast energy longsword rotating above Yun Shan's head, Ziyan sneered disdainfully. Golden-purple light burst forth, and with a dragon roar, a golden-purple spear appeared in her hand. Exuding a fierce aura, she charged towards Yun Shan like a war goddess, her spear crashing down with terrifying force.
"Roar—"
After Ziyan departed, Bai Ya transformed from a small wristband into the massive Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, enclosing Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian protectively, warily watching Yun Yun and her disciples.
"Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor!"
Bai Ya's transformation caught everyone's attention. Seeing a Dou Huang among them, Yun Shan's expression changed drastically. He angrily shouted at Yun Yun.
He no longer resembled his previously composed self. Ziyan's strength far exceeded his expectations. Her terrifying physical strength, powerful combat skills, and uncanny manipulation of space left him at a disadvantage, frustrating and worrying him.
"Yun'er, hurry and notify the Yun Lan Sect disciples to form the Cloud Smoke Array. Kill them!"
"Master, I—"
Hearing Yun Shan's shout, Yun Yun hesitated. Remembering Jiang Yun's words and seeing the black mist around, she leaned more towards him. The Yun Lan Sect was now extremely dangerous. A slight misstep could lead to their total annihilation.
So she hesitated!
"How dare you get distracted!"
"Great Void Fist!"
A sharp shout forced Yun Shan to refocus, struggling to fend off Ziyan's attacks.
"Hehe, Elder Wu, your attacks are weaker than your threats!"
Easily blocking the 'black line,' Jiang Yun taunted, "But the commotion here is too great. Be careful not to damage anything!"
Jiang Yun grasped the snake-like black chain with his fire-encased hand. The chain hissed, emitting wisps of white smoke.
"What—"
Seeing Jiang Yun easily grab his attack, Elder Wu's expression shifted drastically. Disbelief filled his eyes as he looked at the fair hand. Anxiety crept into his heart. This suddenly emerging genius alchemist defied logic.
Typically, alchemists excelled in alchemy but were relatively weak in combat. However, this terrifying individual had not only a strong physique but also a deadly sword technique that nullified his attacks effortlessly.
While holding the chain, Jiang Yun formed a hand seal. Numerous spiritual seals flew out, instantly forming a massive array that enveloped the grand hall.
From the outside, it appeared that the Yun Lan Sect's main hall was shrouded in an eerie mist resembling condensed energy. A thin, nearly transparent layer covered the hall.
This array was based on the ancient Refining Heaven Formation, which Jiang Yun had researched. The mist couldn't be dispelled and severely interfered with senses, making it impossible to discern directions.
"What is this?"
Everyone felt the anomaly, but the array was unfamiliar to them, making it difficult to understand their situation.
"Nothing much, Elder Wu. Protector Xuan misses you. Why not join him?"
"You seek death!" Jiang Yun's repeated disdain enraged Elder Wu. Black mist engulfed him, and his crimson eyes gleamed with ferocity.
"Nine-Forest Soul Devouring!"
A sudden sinister wind blew, bringing a chilling coldness. Elder Wu, with rapid hand seals, conjured a massive, writhing human face from the black mist in mid-air.
The face comprised countless smaller faces, densely packed together, creating a terrifying sight.
"Fire of Departure!"
With a light command, the flame in Jiang Yun's hand expanded rapidly, forming a disk that covered the sky.
From the sidelines, only a pure white flame barrier was visible enveloping the battlefield, preventing others from seeing inside.
"Different Flame—"
"You possess a different flame—"
Sensing the terrifying energy, Elder Wu shouted in shock, confirming that the white flames were indeed different flames harmful to soul bodies.
"Damn it—"
Realizing his predicament, Elder Wu cursed. The clinking of chains resounded as numerous eerie chains hidden below surged towards Jiang Yun.
"Burn—"
Unfazed, Jiang Yun commanded. In the fiery domain, numerous flame tornadoes erupted, exuding a terrifying destructive aura. Elder Wu sensed mortal danger.
Death!
With that realization, Elder Wu turned frenzied, channeling his full dou qi into the humanoid face, abandoning any thought of escape.
As dou qi poured in, the face grew larger and solidified. Ultimately, Elder Wu manipulated the solidified face to devour Jiang Yun.
"Break for me!"
As Elder Wu commanded, the massive illusory face emanated intense black light from its apertures, colliding with the raging firestorm, exploding instantly.
"Buzz—"
No thunderous boom, only a buzzing sound echoed, spreading like ripples.
"No—"
The black mist face was effortlessly torn apart by the firestorm. Elder Wu, with a bitter cry, was captured and sealed into a jade bottle with Protector Xuan.
Meanwhile, outside:
"Wind Killing Sword!"
With a shout, the hall echoed with a sharp sword cry. As Yun Shan's hand sign changed, the energy sword above his head flew towards Ziyan.
The sword's speed seemed to penetrate space, appearing within meters of Ziyan's throat in mere flashes.
"Ancient Dragon Claw!"
Unfazed, Ziyan, with a low roar, conjured a massive dragon claw.
Simultaneously, space around her rippled. Yun Shan's attack slowed as it neared her.
"Boom—"
In a heartbeat, the two devastating attacks collided, causing an earth-shattering explosion.
Energy waves surged where they clashed, even distorting space, demonstrating the fearsome power of their clash.
Without Jiang Yun's array, the grand hall would have been demolished.
The distorted space, with terrifying energy, surged at both of them. However, as a spatial prodigy, Ziyan remained unphased, advancing through the spatial rifts.
Yun Shan struggled, forced to fend off spatial forces and Ziyan's relentless attacks. Soon, his robes were tattered.
Frequently repelled by Ziyan's spear, Yun Shan's trembling hand bled, dripping down his fingers.
"Damn it, I still underestimated you!" Yun Shan, with a dark face, wiped the blood on his robe, saying deeply, "But now, I'll show you the gap between Dou Zong and Dou Huang!"
"Pity…"
"Pity your sword isn't as sharp as your mouth!"
Listening to Yun Shan's boast, Ziyan sneered. By now, she gauged his strength, comparable to Han Feng. Though his dou qi surpassed hers, she dominated in every other aspect.
"You court death—" Suddenly, a peculiar wave struck, and Yun Shan collapsed in pain. A faint white soul form seemed to leave his body towards the fiery barrier.
At this moment, Yun Shan felt his soul no longer belonged to him.
"Master—"
Confused, Yun Yun shouted, rushing to Yun Shan's side.
Ziyan frowned at this scene. Seeing Yun Shan incapacitated, she disdainfully snorted and walked towards Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian.
"Hu, hu," The disturbing sensation soon faded. Yun Shan knelt, gasping as if pulled from water.
"Damn that Elder Wu!"
Finally understanding, he growled angrily.
