As the crisp and icy voice echoed from the skies, countless gazes instantly shifted toward its source.
When they saw the stunningly enchanting woman, all present were momentarily dazed. Her near-demonic beauty was simply too captivating.
"Who are you? Are you planning to interfere in the matters between my Black Alliance and Yuan Manor?" Elder Ying Shan's expression faltered slightly as he spoke, his voice tinged with caution after sensing the lingering power from their clash.
Cai Lin's sudden appearance left the Black Alliance camp in a brief stupor. When they sensed her aura, a hint of gloom flickered in Han Feng's eyes.
This woman's strength was on par with the Four-Star Dou Zong Elder Ying Shan!
Thinking this, Han Feng glanced at Mo Yu. Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, a bad premonition began to rise in his heart. Could it be...
"Hmph, Sister Cai Lin is the Hall Master of Yuan Manor's Serpent Hall. How is this considered interference?" Qing Lin suddenly stepped forward, her beautiful eyes flashing as she proudly announced to everyone present.
"What? She's a hall master of Yuan Manor?"
As Qing Lin's words fell, Han Feng and his group's expressions became a spectacle of astonishment. Even Elder Ying Shan and the Golden-Silver Elders wore looks of surprise.
As Dou Zong experts themselves, they understood the significance of such strength. In the Northwestern Continent, regardless of the faction, a Dou Zong expert was a pillar-like existence, akin to a stabilizing force.
Even in the expert-filled Central Plains, Dou Zong experts were considered high-tier powerhouses, let alone in the more remote Northwestern Continent.
Previously, the Black Alliance had investigated Yuan Manor's hall masters. Apart from Zi Huo of the Lion Hall, they hadn't regarded the others as threats.
But now, an exceptionally powerful and beautiful woman had suddenly appeared—and she was a Yuan Manor hall master?
When did Yuan Manor become so formidable that even a mere hall master possessed the strength of a Dou Zong?
On the other side, Lü Man's gaze shifted away from Queen Medusa and landed on Qing Lin. Her face lit up with delight as she spoke excitedly, "Young Mistress Qing Lin, you've come! The Grand Elder and I traveled thousands of miles from Heavenly Serpent Empire. Come back with us."
"Sister Lü Man, I didn't expect you to come to the Black-Corner Region," Qing Lin said with a slight pause, her expression softening upon seeing Bai Han and Lü Man. However, her face soon turned resolute, and she shook her head slowly.
"Ever since the elders decided to marry me off to the sect master's son, I've severed my ties with Heavenly Serpent Mansion. As for returning, I'm sorry, but I cannot agree."
"You... Young Mistress Qing Lin..." Lü Man's expression turned complicated. She glanced at Bai Han but hesitated to speak further.
"Enough, Lü Man. No need for more words," Bai Han interrupted sharply. His narrowed eyes turned to Qing Lin as he spoke gravely, "Qing Lin, one day you will understand. Everything the elders do is for your own good. A hundred years from now, the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion—even Heavenly Serpent Empire—could be yours. Why lower yourself to serve someone else?"
"There's no need for further discussion, Grand Elder," Qing Lin said firmly, her beautiful eyes filled with unwavering determination. "From now on, I am only my young master's servant. I will go wherever he goes."
"Hmph! If you're so stubborn, don't blame this old man for taking matters into his own hands!" Bai Han snorted coldly, his expression hardening as an overwhelming aura erupted from his body.
As his powerful energy surged forth, Bai Han's figure flickered, and an icy claw, radiating freezing energy, lunged toward Qing Lin.
"Grand Elder Bai Han, do you truly think so little of me that you would dare to harm my people?"
Just as Bai Han's icy claw was about to grab Qing Lin, a fiery figure dashed forth from Mo Yu's direction.
Boom!
Blazing light flashed, and a fiery-red arm pierced through the space, colliding head-on with Bai Han's icy claw.
The clash produced a deafening explosion, and a terrifying shockwave rippled out from the impact point like a tidal wave. Cracks spread across the ground like a spider web, leaving devastation in its wake.
Bang!
The fiery arm and icy claw remained locked for a moment before a powerful burst of energy sent Bai Han staggering backward, retreating more than ten steps in midair before finally stabilizing himself.
The sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned. Seeing Bai Han forced back several steps in the confrontation, countless eyes widened in disbelief.
"The Fire Yao Puppet!"
Lü Man and the other Heavenly Serpent Mansion experts exclaimed in shock.
"I've heard the Yuan Manor leader possesses a Dou Zong-level puppet. Now that I've seen it, it lives up to its reputation. The Grand Elder is in trouble," one of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion experts muttered gravely.
Lü Man nodded with a heavy expression. Her gaze shifted to the composed silver-eyed youth in the center of the field, her eyes filled with a complicated mix of emotions.
It had only been a few short years, and he had already grown this powerful...
The battlefield had reached a tense stalemate. The top combatants of both sides had stepped forward.
Su Qian vs. the Golden-Silver Elders! The Fire Jade Puppet vs. Bai Han! Queen Medusa vs. Elder Ying Shan!
Han Feng's eyes flickered with gloom as he considered the situation. A sinister smile soon crept onto his lips. With a wave of his hand, he laughed coldly, "Mo Yu, you're harder to deal with than I thought. But this time, I'll make sure Yuan Manor disappears from the Black-Corner Region entirely!"
"The Black Alliance, attack!"
With Han Feng's final command, the oppressive tension shattered instantly. The elders of the Black Alliance, hovering mid-air, flapped their wings in unison and shot through the sky like streaking meteors, encircling the forces of Yuan Manor within moments.
"Don't let them form a formation—strike now!"
A thunderous voice rang out as Zi Huo, the leading general under Mo Yu, stepped forward, towering like an iron fortress. With a fierce shout, his lion-like wings flared behind him, unleashing a torrent of overwhelming, ferocious energy.
Having recently broken through to Dou Huang, combined with the boost from his Abyssal Lion bloodline, his strength was now nearing the peak of Dou Huang, even surpassing Vice Principal Hu Gan standing nearby.
This explosive aura caused many onlookers' expressions to shift.
Han Feng's face also darkened as he caught sight of the towering Zi Huo. His brows furrowed slightly in surprise at the latter's formidable strength, but he quickly turned to two imposing middle-aged men behind him—one tall and lean, the other stout—and said, "Gentlemen, I'll leave this battle to you. As for your reward, rest assured, I, Han Feng, will not disappoint."
"Ha, no need to worry, Master Medicine Emperor. We traveled all the way from Fire Cloud Nation to aid you," the lanky man replied with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Han Feng nodded with a grin.
These two were twin brothers from Fire Cloud Nation in the northwest continent, whom Han Feng had encountered by chance during his travels. Both were peak Dou Huang experts.
While their teamwork couldn't rival the legendary Golden and Silver Elders capable of challenging Dou Zong, the power of two peak Dou Huangs was a force to be reckoned with.
To secure their aid against Yuan Manor, Han Feng had paid a hefty price, but given the current situation, it seemed worth every bit.
Sensing the incoming threat, Zi Huo was the first to charge forward, his ferocious energy locking onto the stocky peak Dou Huang from Fire Cloud Nation. His violent, blade-like aura exuded an intimidating savagery.
At the same time, Hu Gan's gaze landed on Zi Huo, who tore through the battlefield like a lion king. A flicker of astonishment crossed his eyes. Where had Mo Yu found such a ferocious subordinate?
Shaking his head, Hu Gan refocused, his sharp eyes narrowing as he charged forward, locking onto the lanky Dou Huang from Fire Cloud Nation.
In war, a single move could spark chaos. Zi Huo and Hu Gan's initial assault instantly triggered a large-scale clash. Behind them, Xiao Li, Zi Yan, Lin Yan, and the elders of Jia Nan Academy swiftly followed, unleashing torrents of terrifying Dou Qi that flooded the skies over the Northern Desert Plains.
The suffocating pressure from the intense Dou Qi blanketed the entire mountain, causing weaker individuals to struggle for breath.
"Attack!"
Unwilling to be outdone, the Black Alliance elders let out savage roars, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust. Their Dou Qi surged to its peak as they charged into the fray, their fierce strikes shocking onlookers below.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the two fearsome forces collided in mid-air. Explosions of energy and shockwaves reverberated through the skies, like thunderclaps echoing across the battlefield.
Witnessing the scale of the chaos, the leaders of three nearby forces exchanged glances, awe flickering in their eyes.
Recalling their prior agreement with Mo Yu, a glint of determination flashed across their faces. With a decisive wave, they led their troops toward the direction of Tian She Mansion.
Amidst the raging battle, Mo Yu hovered silently in the distance, alone yet unchallenged. None of the Black Alliance elders dared to approach him—they all knew that he was reserved for Han Feng to deal with personally.
A duel between kings!
Han Feng's cold gaze swept across the fiery battlefield before landing on the silver-eyed youth standing aloof with arms crossed. A sinister smile crept onto Han Feng's face as he strode forward step by step.
Without deploying his Dou Qi wings, Han Feng's figure flickered, rising effortlessly into the air as he approached Mo Yu.
As Han Feng ascended into the air, his steps lightly tapped the void as if he were climbing invisible stairs formed by the air itself.
Witnessing this, the crowd erupted in shock. "A Dou Zong expert!"
Only a Dou Zong could soar freely without relying on Dou Qi wings, moving as effortlessly as walking on solid ground. This unrestrained freedom in battle significantly heightened agility and reaction speed, giving them a decisive advantage.
Both the experts of Yuan Manor and the Black-Corner Region stared in stunned disbelief at Han Feng walking through the air. Over the past year, few had seen him fight with his full strength, and no one had realized he had advanced so far in secret.
The sudden surge of powerful Dou Qi rippled through the battlefield, even disrupting the battles of Su Qian, the Golden and Silver Elders, Bai Han and the Fire Demon Puppet, Cai Lin, and Eagle Mountain Elder.
Six pairs of eyes turned toward the source of the explosion, each carrying a different emotion.
"This guy is truly cunning. Even we didn't know he was so close to this level," muttered the Golden and Silver Elders, their gazes tinged with envy.
They had been stuck at the peak of Dou Huang for nearly a decade, unable to make any progress, yet Han Feng, in less than four years, had shown signs of breaking through to a higher realm. Such speed was enough to spark jealousy in anyone.
Cai Lin's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of complexity as she glanced at the silver-eyed youth standing not far away. Could he handle a Dou Zong?
However, recalling the She Lao's confidence in Mo Yu, her anxiety gradually subsided.
Step by step, Han Feng advanced through the void, and moments later, he hovered before Mo Yu amidst the focused gazes of the crowd.
As the two faced each other, their gazes collided—both filled with killing intent and cold malice. Sparks seemed to fly, and murderous auras spread through the air.
"Mo Yu, a year ago, you narrowly escaped death. This time, I've spared no effort in refining the Breaking Zong Pill. With its power, I've successfully advanced to the Dou Zong realm.
"Today, I will end your life here!" Han Feng sneered darkly, his face twisting into a cruel smile.
"Oh? Do you believe reaching the Dou Zong realm makes you invincible? Han Feng, you're as petty as ever. No wonder you betrayed your master," Mo Yu replied with a faint smile.
While Han Feng's strength as a newly advanced Dou Zong, coupled with the Sea Heart Flame, was formidable, Mo Yu remained calm, reassured by the She Lao's presence.
"How do you know about that!?"
Han Feng froze at Mo Yu's words, his previous arrogance giving way to a mix of panic and fury as he stared at Mo Yu in disbelief.
Mo Yu smiled faintly, offering no explanation.
"Hmph! No matter how you found out, your death today will ensure no one else does!"
Han Feng's expression twisted with malice. With a flick of his sleeve, a surge of deep blue flames erupted from his body, radiating an oppressive and terrifying energy.
The flames were none other than the Sea Heart Flame, now darker and more menacing than before, likely enhanced by Han Feng's breakthrough to Dou Zong. The overwhelming aura weighed heavily on everyone present.
This was the power of a Dou Zong!
Feeling Han Feng's mounting strength, Mo Yu's expression grew serious. His silver eyes glowed with an eerie purple-gold hue, and his Dou Qi surged violently within him. In an instant, his aura skyrocketed, nearly rivaling that of a true Dou Zong.
"Using that expert bloodline's power again?" Han Feng sneered, though a flicker of unease crossed his face as he felt Mo Yu's abrupt rise in strength. The flames in his palm flared even brighter, their heat intensifying.
"I will show you that in the presence of a true Dou Zong, all fake powers will crumble to dust!"
"Today, no matter how many tricks you have, I will make you regret ever crossing me, Han Feng!"
