Bab 109: Chapter 109: The Team Building Begins!
As soon as the three appeared, a burst of astonishment erupted within the Holy City of Heavenly Serpent. Many people looked stunned, as experts of the Dou Zong rank were already rare sights on the Northwest Continent. Dou Zuns, with their elusive presence, were now appearing one after another.
Under normal circumstances, people would be excited to witness the might of these Dou Zuns, but unfortunately, it was the Dou Zuns of the Soul Hall that had come this time.
Although the Soul Hall's headquarters was in Zhongzhou and its reputation was more fearsome there, many present still knew about the Soul Hall. It was an evil organization that spanned the continent, and their appearance often signaled impending death.
Furthermore, a glance around revealed the sinister smiles of the Soul Hall's army encircling the Holy City of Heavenly Serpent, clearly indicating they were not 'friendly guests.'
After the appearance of the Soul Hall members, the body of the Green Snake Venerable stiffened abruptly, especially upon seeing an old acquaintance among them. His face instantly darkened.
"Who on earth are you? You're with the Soul Hall!"
Beside him, She Qi looked at the army of the Soul Hall, his scalp tingling with fear as his gaze turned terrified towards Yun Yi, exclaiming in horror.
Compared to She Qi, the Green Snake Venerable was now fixated on the blue-haired old man among the trio, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
"Hehe, Green Snake, long time no see! Today, you won't escape your fate!" The blue-haired elder was indifferent to the Green Snake Venerable's gaze and smiled coldly.
He ignored the Green Snake Venerable's ugly expression and, along with the other two, approached Yun Yi, scrutinizing him with curiosity. Finally, under the astonished gazes of everyone, they knelt in unison.
"Soul Hall Qing Hai…"
"Soul Hall Qin Tian…"
"Soul Hall Qiu Long…"
"Greet the Young Hall Master!"
"Pay respects to the Young Hall Master!"
As the three saluted, the surrounding Soul Hall Protectors and Emissaries also bowed to Yun Yi simultaneously.
At this moment, Yun Yi stood proudly on the pitch-black war chariot, flanked by two massive Purple Gold Winged Lion Kings. Around him, Dou Zuns, Dou Zongs, and Dou Huangs all bowed in reverence. Combined with his extraordinary, cold, and aloof demeanor, it was as if he dominated this piece of Heaven and Earth, making people instinctively want to bow before him.
"You...You're actually the Young Hall Master of the Soul Hall!!!"
Now, the Green Snake Venerable's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Yun Yi. Even if he had speculated about Yun Yi's identity, he had only considered factions like the Four Pavilions or perhaps some alliance of the Three Valleys.
Who would have thought he was from the most enigmatic Soul Hall?
At this moment, the Green Snake Venerable felt like cursing. Was Zhongzhou not enough for you? Why come to flaunt your power in the Northwest Continent?
"Kill—"
"Leave no one alive—"
Yun Yi ignored the stunned Green Snake Venerable. His expression indifferent as he spoke emotionlessly to the crowd.
"Boom—"
As his words fell, a colossal pitch-black pillar of fire shot into the sky and exploded in mid-air. Under the stunned gazes of everyone, an infinite amount of black flames emerged from the void, spreading out and covering the entire Holy City of Heavenly Serpent, instantly turning the sky dark.
"Keekeekee, kill! This time I must collect more souls!"
"Keekeekee, it's exhilarating to follow the Young Hall Master. This mission alone will make up my quota for half a year!"
"I just need a few more high-grade souls for a Po Zong Pill. Hopefully, I'll find them here!"
As Yun Yi acted, the Soul Hall Protectors and Emissaries, who had been eager, laughed sinisterly. The clinking chains were endless as they descended upon the Holy City of Heavenly Serpent like ravenous wolves.
"Soul Hall—"
"Are you truly going to commit such an act of extinction!!!"
The Qing Hai Venerable coldly sneered at the roaring Green Snake Venerable, "Green Snake, your death is imminent. That slap back then, I remember very well!"
"Qing Hai, you hold off Green Snake. The rest will be handled by us. This is the Young Hall Master's first action; we must show him our strength!"
Qin Tian glanced at everyone before turning to suggest. In their eyes, Yun Yi was a big opportunity. If they executed this task well, earning Yun Yi's favor would be more rewarding than any other bounty!
"Alright!"
Both Qing Hai and Qiu Long agreed without objection to Qin Tian's suggestion, for it was the quickest way to sweep through the battlefield.
Qing Hai's gaze shifted from the battlefield to the cold-faced Green Snake Venerable, giving a cold smile before gently tapping his foot in the air. The space before him quickly distorted.
The Green Snake sensed it as well, his face changing. He hurriedly instructed She Qi, "Grand Elder, gather everyone inside the city to fight. Only by uniting can we have a sliver of hope."
"You talk too much!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Green Snake Venerable's face darkened as he pushed She Qi aside, roaring, "Go quickly!"
In the next moment, the space before him twisted as Qing Hai Venerable's form appeared, his dry hand grabbing forward, instantly freezing the surrounding space. He then gathered all his strength, striking towards the Green Snake's head.
"Qing Hai, with just your two-star Dou Zun, you think you can stop me? Do you want to die?"
Facing the frozen space, the Green Snake's aura exploded, revealing his three-star Dou Zun might, sending a terrifying strike towards Qing Hai Venerable.
"Lord—"
Seeing the fierce clash between the Green Snake and Qing Hai, She Qi shouted in worry. No longer hesitating, he sternly commanded the surrounding Heavenly Serpent Mansion elders, "All disciples of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, form the Ten Thousand Serpent Formation!"
The elders of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion shuddered. The Ten Thousand Serpent Formation, the mansion's protective array, had not been activated for many years. Yet today, it seemed the situation was dire enough.
The invasion of the Soul Hall threatened the very existence of the once-dominant Heavenly Serpent Mansion. This crisis made them realize that their survival hung in the balance.
At She Qi's command, the elders and the numerous disciples of the mansion who arrived later responded in unison, slowly closing their eyes. Moments later, threads of multicolored energy seeped from their heads, forming energy serpent shadows that enveloped the tamed serpent magical beasts, rising continuously and converging on She Qi at the center.
Eventually, it almost covered the entire sky. From a glance, it looked like a sea of serpents, with She Qi at the heart of it all.
"Roar!"
Sensing the boundless power coursing within him, She Qi felt an unbeatable confidence swell inside. Holding the serpent staff, he began forming hand seals.
In the center of the serpent sea, energy rapidly gathered. Terrifying roars echoed as if something dreadful was about to break free.
"Roar—"
A fearsome roar sounded, and with it, thousands of serpents surged toward the center. The next moment, a vast black fog descended, within which a pair of blood-red triangular eyes flickered. A gigantic figure moved swiftly within, like a black lightning bolt, instantly passing through.
It was a giant python!
The python was pitch-black and enormous, resembling a river or mountain. However, its form was slightly illusory, seemingly struggling to remain. If it were corporeal, it would bring unimaginable oppression.
"An Ancient Heavenly Serpent!" In mid-air, even the previously calm Qin Tian and Qiu Long paled at this sight. They hadn't expected the Ten Thousand Serpent Formation to summon the shadow of an Ancient Heavenly Serpent, a legendary serpent king comparable to the Taixu Ancient Dragon or the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
Even though it was only a shadow, its ferocity was undeniable!
From a distance, Yun Yi, who had been controlling the inferno, also glanced over, showing surprise at the shadow of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent.
However, remembering the Green Snake's three-flower pupil, he felt it was not entirely unexpected—possibly a legacy of the mansion's founder.
Yet a shadow rivaling a five-star Dou Zun couldn't change the tide.
Yun Yi's gaze turned to Qin Tian and Qiu Long, curious to see how they would handle it.
"Just a mere shadow? Also, it wants to stop the Soul Hall?" Sensing Yun Yi's gaze, Qin Tian gritted his teeth and signaled to Qiu Long, "Qiu Long, let's attack together and break the formation."
"Gladly!" Qiu Long Venerable responded with a sinister smile, the dragon tattoo on his arm flickering as if it had come to life.
"Kill!"
"Kill—"
With She Qi's shout, the members of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion roared in unison. The giant python in the sky broke through the black fog, baring its fangs at Qin Tian and Qiu Long. Its destruction and impact struck fear in many.
"Spirit-Crushing Slash—"
"Serpent Dragon Claw—"
With a massive explosion, the two Dou Zuns unleashed earth-shattering techniques capable of obliterating the entire Holy City. Instantly, the sky changed color.
A hundred-foot saber light shot forth, carrying a gigantic claw shadow, striking the python fiercely. Although the python was vast, the Dou Zuns' attack was equally formidable.
"Boom—"
The collision generated a terrifying shockwave, the dense energy creating countless spatial cracks in the sky.
"Pu—"
Qin Tian and Qiu Long spat out blood simultaneously, but the members of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion also suffered, their auras weakening—unsure how many more attacks they could muster.
"Let's see how many more times you can execute such attacks!" Qin Tian sneered, wiping the blood from his mouth as he and Qiu Long surged towards the Ten Thousand Serpent Formation.
"Not good—" She Qi, overseeing the formation, paled, rapidly forming hand signs and roaring, "Serpent Spirit Guard—"
"Bang—"
Amidst the clashing wind and fire, the Holy City of Heavenly Serpent descended into chaos. Wherever the pitch-black flames passed, skeletal remains were left. Within moments, the city resembled a hellish inferno.
Yun Yi, the instigator of this carnage, coldly observed from his war chariot, cross-legged while controlling the flames, continuously absorbing the pure Dou Qi flowing towards him.
The barrier of Dou Zong was within sight!
"Ah—, Help, help!!!"
"Damn it, what fire is this? It can't be extinguished and keeps consuming my Dou Qi."
"Ah, save me, I don't want to die!"
"Young Hall Master, this is a matter between the Soul Hall and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. We have no part in it. Please spare us. We will forever be grateful."
At this moment, the weaker Dou Kings and Dou Huangs quickly rose, pleading loudly. The Soul Hall's ruthlessness had terrified them, and the enemy's strength exceeded their expectations. They hoped the Young Hall Master would spare them considering their ranks.
After all, the Soul Hall forces were already spread thin, committing to mass slaughter. They surely wouldn't want to provoke this many of us!
If not for the horrifying black flame net, they might have forced their way out—with their numbers, even the Soul Hall would find it hard to cover everything.
"None of you will leave today!" Yun Yi's voice was cold, showing no mercy.
"Brat, we have so many here. If you want our lives, you'll have to die first!"
One enraged Dou Huang roared, wielding a giant green blade towards Yun Yi.
"Roar—"
"Courting death—"
Even though Yun Yi was busy controlling the St. Skyfire Net, making it hard to fend off everyone personally, he was unperturbed.
Suddenly, a lion's roar rang out, and a purple figure flashed. The Dou Huang spewed blood, flying backward.
"The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!"
Seeing the huge purple lion guarding Yun Yi, everyone felt a chill. The Dou Huang lay on the ground with a gaping wound across his chest. Purple flames caused him to scream in agony.
"Purple Crystal Storm!"
Amid the shock, an enormous purple flame storm crashed down on them.
