Chapter 243: Believe in Tianming!

Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian's appearance completely changed the situation on the battlefield.

"Poison Sect leader, you betrayed the Hall of Souls. Don't you want to resolve the Woeful Poison Body?" Protector Xuan shouted harshly but with underlying fear.

The Hall of Souls approached the Poison Sect to help resolve Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body, in exchange for the latter joining the Four Nations Alliance.

"Working with your Hall of Souls, the Jia Ma royal family serves as the best warning."

"As for the Woeful Poison Body, my friend will help me resolve it."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Yun Tianming with gentle eyes.

Yun Tianming gave her a reassuring look. According to Yao Chen's unique poison pill method, as long as they gathered three types of Heavenly Flame and precious materials like the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, they could completely resolve Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body outbreak.

"You!"

Seeing that he couldn't sway Xiao Yi Xian, Protector Xuan turned his gaze to Cai Lin.

"Who exactly are you to dare interfere in the affairs of my Hall of Souls?"

"This protector advises you not to meddle in matters that don't concern you. Beware of the destruction of your clan!"

Facing the threat from the Hall of Souls, Cai Lin said no more and directly struck with a seven-colored energy giant python.

"Boom!"

With one blow, Protector Xuan's hooked blade was shattered, and he spewed blood, suffering significant injury.

"Impressive, so powerful!"

Everyone looked on with awe. They were aware of Protector Xuan's strength, but they didn't expect Cai Lin's single strike to cause him such injury.

"6 Star Dou Ancestor. Has Queen Medusa evolved by awakening the bloodline of an ancient Magic Beast?"

Yun Shan's eyes widened in bitterness. He remembered how she had also been stuck at the peak of Dou Emperor without advancing. After struggling to break through to 1 Star Dou Ancestor, he found others had jumped straight to 6 Star Dou Ancestor, far ahead and incomparable.

"This woman is the type Tianming likes."

Yun Yun's gaze was focused on something different.

"Cough cough~"

"Damn woman!"

"This is what you forced me to do!"

Protector Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a sinister expression. He pulled out a black pouch, which, when opened, released thousands of illusory Soul bodies!

"Woo ooo ooo ooo~"

The sky was filled with wandering ghosts, causing everyone to feel a shiver down their spines.

"Damn! What kind of creepy thing is this Hall of Souls?"

"So many Soul bodies captured?"

No one wanted to die, let alone be unable to reincarnate as a Soul, leading to deep fear of the Hall of Souls.

"Today, you all must die. Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Array!"

Under Protector Xuan's guidance, a sky-darkening black mist swirled above, trapping all the Soul bodies. Countless sharp, piercing screams echoed across the battlefield, as the densely packed Soul bodies moved through the black mist like malevolent ghosts hidden in the night. Their blood-red eyes appeared particularly eerie in the darkness.

"Be careful, these are Soul bodies controlled by them!"

Yun Shan released Dou Qi to drive away the approaching Soul bodies.

"This level of Soul attack is nothing more than annoying flies."

Cai Lin released powerful Soul Power. Since her bloodline evolved into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, it had compensated for the usual weakness of Magic Beast Soul Power. Her Soul Power was even stronger than that of a Dou Ancestor of the same level.

"Hehe, to eliminate the Misty Cloud Sect, this protector has brought ample resources. These Soul bodies took a full three years to gather and are used to form the grand array!"

In the sky, Protector Xuan looked at the spreading black clouds and couldn't help but laugh menacingly.

"Tianming, what should we do now?"

Xiao Yi Xian's figure landed beside Yun Tianming, and her manner of address had subtly changed. Cai Lin glanced at her, seeming displeased with the familiarity, but she did not act out due to the pressing threat.

"Wait, let him complete the array."

Yun Tianming was confident and already had a plan in mind.

Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin hesitated for a moment but chose to trust Yun Tianming.

Thus, without interference, Protector Xuan successfully completed the array.

"Arrogant boy, this protector will see how long you can maintain your calm."

Protector Tie assumed a full defensive stance but was puzzled when Yun Tianming and the others did not launch an attack.

"Hmph! No matter what, once the array is complete, they will all die!"

"Blood Soul Gu!"

With Protector Xuan's cold words, suddenly, a surge of blood light erupted from the pitch-black clouds. Eerie, sharp screams and the harsh sound of what seemed like chewing filled the air.

"This is bad! That guy is making all the Soul bodies devour each other. If this continues, ferocious souls will emerge!"

Yun Shan, with considerable experience, had seen this strange method of the Hall of Souls in ancient texts left behind by the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yun Yun furrowed her brows briefly and then relaxed, softly saying, "Teacher, trust Tianming. Since he is confident he can handle it, there's no need to worry."

With that, Yun Yun refocused her attention and concentrated on attacking Xie Bi Yan, who was covered in wounds. Defeat was only a matter of time.

"Screech—"

A piercing scream emerged from the black clouds, its soul-shattering sound waves causing everyone on the scene to turn pale.

"Finally appeared."

"Old Yao do you have confidence in dealing with it?"

Yun Tianming's expression remained unchanged.

Yao Tian Huo "With such a large amount of Soul power gathered, it's a great supplement for me. If I can devour and refine it, my Soul Power will recover significantly!"

"Yun Tianming, your Soul Power is quite marvelous, and you're also a Sixth Grade Alchemist. Capturing you will be enough to compensate for all of this protector's losses!"

"Old Xuan, don't forget about your brother after this big job. Hehe!"

The eerie laughter of Protector Xuan and Protector Tie echoed through the sky like thunder.

At this moment, the black clouds had stopped churning, and a dark, blood-red hue was slowly seeping out. Where this blood-red color spread, those with insufficient strength felt a trace of violent emotions quietly rise from their hearts, and they hurriedly focused their minds with fearful expressions.

Even Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, upon sensing the Evil Qi permeating from the black clouds, couldn't help but hold their breath in concentration.

"Yun Tianming, you better not be overconfident."

Cai Lin sighed in frustration. She didn't understand why Yun Tianming wasn't making a move to break the array. The fighting power of these ferocious souls was approaching 7 Star Dou Ancestor, making it very difficult even for her to handle.

"Do you need me to release the Woeful Poison Body?"

Xiao Yi Xian asked. Releasing the Woeful Poison Body would temporarily grant her the combat power of a 6 Star peak Dou Ancestor.

"No, every time the Woeful Poison Body is released, the time until it fully erupts will be greatly shortened."

Yun Tianming shook his head, rejecting her suggestion.
