Chapter 186: Protector Xuan
"Grand Elder, the Fallen Heart Flame is clearly still in the tower, how can Lin Xiu use the Heart Fire?"
Seeing this scene, the four elders also suddenly remembered their previous doubts and couldn't help but ask.
"Lin Xiu's flame is not the real Fallen Heart Flame. He just used the Flame Soul Separation Technique to extract some of it," Su Qian answered.
The other elders suddenly understood.
Amidst the azure sea of fire, Lin Xiu was completely unaffected and headed straight towards Han Feng.
On the contrary, Han Feng dared not get close and constantly used flames to block Lin Xiu's advance.
Having taken a punch earlier, Han Feng had a deeper understanding of Lin Xiu's strength. He knew that even if he used all his power, he couldn't withstand a direct punch from Lin Xiu.
After exchanging blows for a while, Han Feng fell into a disadvantage several times, narrowly avoiding being hit by Lin Xiu.
The surrounding crowd gasped several times.
Finally, it seemed that Han Feng was preparing and brewing something.
At a certain moment, the blood drained from Han Feng's face, and he visibly became pale.
However.
At this time, Han Feng's energy and spirit became extremely high.
"Die, you little bastard!"
He shouted loudly.
The azure sea of fire surged violently, and flames roared up, intertwining and spiraling, eventually forming a massive dark blue beast.
This beast was shaped like a lion but had a large scorpion tail, and above its head, a deep blue horn emitted a faint blue glow.
When this horn swayed, it seemed capable of tearing through space, causing faint black marks to appear in the void.
"Sea Heart Phantom Beast, go!"
With a point of Han Feng's finger, the massive flame beast roared, moving on its four legs to charge at Lin Xiu.
The void seemed unable to bear its power, trembling constantly and causing light to distort.
"Burning Vitality!"
"Surging Waves Overwhelm Heavens!"
"Myriad Thunder Invocation!"
"Crazy Thunder Fury!"
The energy of heaven and earth boiled, thunder roared, flames howled, and waves surged.
Lin Xiu first elevated his own realm, then unleashed his three Earth Rank Low Level Dou Techniques.
Dozens of meters high, waves appeared like a collapsing sky, crashing onto the flame beast and causing it to stagger.
Han Feng's body swayed, his lips tightly pressed.
The flame beast continued its charge towards Lin Xiu, then was covered by lightning.
The dark sky was lit up, and this area became as bright as daylight, dazzling and eye-catching.
Dense lightning fell on the beast, causing the flames on its surface to dim.
"Ugh!"
A trace of blood appeared at the corner of Han Feng's mouth, but he still gritted his teeth.
His eyes were fixed on Lin Xiu.
At this moment, the flame beast broke through the lightning and finally reached Lin Xiu.
Then.
A giant fist, infused with flames and lightning, came crashing down.
Boom!
The flame beast's body stiffened as the fist struck its horn.
"Explode for me!"
With a low roar, Lin Xiu's sleeve burst apart.
His arm muscles swelled to three times their normal size, bulging as if small snakes were writhing under his skin.
It looked ferocious and terrifying!
No one doubted the immense power of this punch.
After a standoff of about three seconds, cracks appeared on the surface of the flame beast, spreading rapidly like a shattered ice sheet, covering its entire body.
Finally, the flame beast exploded.
"Ugh!"
At this moment, Han Feng also reached his limit. He slightly raised his chin and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing Lin Xiu charging towards him, his figure enlarging, a deep terror flashed in Han Feng's eyes.
What a terrifying boy!
A 1-Star Dou Emperor could actually continuously wield three Earth Rank Dou Techniques. How much Dou Qi did he have to support this?!
He could no longer hold on and screamed, "Protector Xuan, if you don't intervene now, I'm going to die!"
His hysterical voice suddenly echoed through the area, filled with intense panic and fear.
The crowd, hearing this voice, stared blankly at the blood-spitting Han Feng in the sky, feeling immense disbelief.
The dignified lord of Feng City, the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region, had actually been defeated head-on by a newly promoted Dou Emperor in his early twenties.
Oh my!
That's Han Feng, a Half-step Dou Ancestor.
If this continues, given Lin Xiu a bit more time to grow, won't he be able to confront a Dou Ancestor as a Dou Emperor?
That image flashed through everyone's minds, making them shudder.
Someone who could ascend to Dou Emperor in their early twenties—there was no need to speak of his talent.
With the backing of Jia Nan Academy, how could he not have the chance to advance to Dou Ancestor in the future?
If he's this formidable as a Dou Emperor, who in the entire Black-Corner Region would dare challenge Jia Nan Academy if he reaches Dou Ancestor?
These thoughts raced through everyone's minds.
With such a student, the future landscape of the Black-Corner Region is bound to be rewritten.
"Hehehe..."
Suddenly, a sinister and eerie laugh echoed through the heavens and earth.
Hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but shiver, their hair standing on end, their skin breaking out in goosebumps.
At some unknown point, a black cloud had appeared in the sky.
Earlier, due to the dim light and the approaching night, no one had noticed it.
At this moment, everyone was startled upon seeing it.
"What is that thing?"
"Could it be the Protector Xuan that Han Feng mentioned earlier?"
"What a terrifying aura, stronger than Han Feng's earlier presence. The person coming is a Dou Ancestor!"
The crowd was alarmed and puzzled.
Dou Ancestors in the Black-Corner Region were few and far between. Among them, the only one known to definitely have a Dou Ancestor was the Demon Flame Valley.
However, this aura was eerie and cold, clearly not matching the Dou Qi attributes of the Demon Flame Valley.
"Hall of Souls! So they've come after all?"
Lin Xiu was somewhat surprised, but he did not slow down at all.
When Lin Xiu acts, he always keeps his word!
I said Han Feng would die today, and no one can stop it!
"Such audacity! Trying to kill someone right in front of me? Young man, I admire you!"
A raspy voice came from the black mist, carrying a hint of praise but also mingled with a rustling sound.
Swish!
Amidst the intense rustling, a black figure shot out from the mist like a streak of black light, heading straight for Lin Xiu.
Facing the oncoming force, Lin Xiu felt a sharp sensation on his back and did not dare to be careless.
The Hall of Souls' attacks were extremely bizarre, capable of inflicting physical harm and targeting the soul.
This was an attack that combined both physical and magical elements.
He drew out his long sword and thrust it forward.
The black light paused, revealing its true form—a chain covered with strange patterns.
Bang!
The confrontation lasted less than a second before the Rank 2 magic core-forged sword shattered under the pressure.
The chain did not stop and continued to shoot toward Lin Xiu.
"Three Thousand Lightning Movements!"
Lightning flashed under Lin Xiu's feet, but he suddenly noticed the space around him distorting, faintly forming a barrier that trapped him within.
"This Protector is not like Han Feng, a mere Half-step Dou Ancestor. Save your energy, you won't break free from my spatial confinement."
A cold, mocking laugh, mixed with a slight chuckle, came from the black mist.
The chain drew closer and closer.
Suddenly, Lin Xiu's vision blurred, and he found himself in a different location.
He quickly turned his head.
The space where he had just been was now occupied by an elderly man with white hair and beard.
"You go deal with Han Feng; I'll hold him off."
Su Qian looked up at the sky, Dou Qi surging, his black robe billowing.
Facing the dark chain, he unleashed a black Dou Qi, which collided with it.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu didn't hesitate. He turned and rushed straight toward Han Feng.
"Where do you think you're going? Die for me!"
