Chapter 106 : . Three Seals Shatter Ten Thousand Spirits
In the sky above, countless experts tread on air, battling with puppet-like corpses. From afar, these fearless puppets covered the sky and earth. Despite the numerous Spirit Clan experts and the substantial number of powerful individuals from other great families, they were struggling against these seemingly endless puppets. Xiao Han was certain that before long, this defense line formed by the Spirit Clan and other family reinforcements would be completely breached. When that happened, the Spirit Clan's fate would be little better than the Medicine Clan's.
Without hesitation, Xiao Han's form flashed, appearing behind a Spirit Clan expert. She reached out, pulling back the exhausted expert whose internal Dou Qi was nearly depleted, saving her from being overwhelmed by puppets. Then, she transformed her leg into a whip, tribulation lightning adhering to it, directly pulverizing five or six nearby puppets with about six-star Dou Venerate strength.
She then took a step forward. As her foot landed, violent air currents instantly surged up with her at the center, mixed with terrifying blood-colored tribulation lightning, raging towards the puppets.
The horrifying pressure caused those nearby to unconsciously move away, while the puppets facing the attack showed no reaction, still blindly rushing forward.
"Boom—"
Like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, the battlefield was instantly filled with flying sand and rocks. The aftermath of the attack spread out, forcing everyone to retreat.
Accompanied by the sound of falling and colliding rocks, the dust gradually dispersed. When the situation on the field became clear, the entire battlefield fell into silence.
The battlefield, originally crowded with puppets, was directly cleared. Large swaths of puppets had disappeared, with only a small portion at the rear unaffected due to the distance. The Soul Clan members at the forefront of Soul Hall's charge were in no better state, with severed limbs everywhere.
And the cause of this scene...
The woman just saved by Xiao Han looked in shock at the seemingly slight figure not far away, her crimson-patterned silver robe fluttering in the wind. She could never have imagined that such a slender, cold-looking woman would possess such terrifying power.
Who was she? How had she never heard of such a powerful young woman before?
The Ancient Clan experts who came to support the Spirit Clan were also shocked. They had already roughly understood the strength of this fiancée of the Ancient Clan's young miss when they were ambushed outside the Spirit Clan's territory. But witnessing Xiao Han resolve most of the puppets with one move, their shock only increased.
Xiao Han didn't care to know the feelings of those present. She raised her eyes towards Soul Hall's direction, immediately spotting the familiar man at the rear.
—Xiao Yan.
Xiao Han imperceptibly frowned slightly. She could feel that Xiao Yan was the source of the killing intent that made her uncomfortable. The killing intent on this person was almost solidifying, baring its fangs and claws.
If what Wei Yiling said was true, that the killing intent had taken residence in Xiao Yan's body, then it seemed that this killing intent's influence on Xiao Yan was not shallow. Or rather, this killing intent should have begun to gradually devour Xiao Yan's consciousness.
As for his soul... this person's soul should have been completely polluted.
Seeing Xiao Han destroy most of his puppets with one move, Xiao Yan showed no sign of irritation. The corner of his lips still curled in a very uncomfortable smile, his expression somewhat sickly.
He lightly tapped his index finger on the chair back, and two black-robed men beside him silently stepped forward.
"Go greet her," Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.
The two men nodded, responded, and then stepped through the air towards Xiao Han, one step at a time. With each step, their aura grew stronger. By the time they reached a short distance from Xiao Han, their aura had reached the level of nine-star Dou Saint.
"Miss Xiao?" One of the Ancient Clan experts called out to Xiao Han but was stopped by her raised hand.
"Continue fighting," Xiao Han said calmly, showing no caution towards the two nine-star Dou Saint, even seeming somewhat careless. "Leave the rest to me."
Perhaps because her attitude was too relaxed, the Ancient Clan expert who had been worried for her let go of his concerns, responded, and joined the others in attacking the remaining puppets.
Not everyone dared to watch a battle between three nine-star Dou Saint. Seeing the three in confrontation, the experts originally surrounding Xiao Han unconsciously retreated, leaving ample space for the three.
Without a word, blood-colored tribulation lightning appeared, entwining around Xiao Han. An invisible, terrifying pressure once again subtly emerged.
The two men exchanged glances. Feeling this pressure that seemed to contain primordial energy, they knew that this young woman was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Realizing this, both men held nothing back. Powerful Dou Qi erupted as their forms flickered, charging towards Xiao Han.
With their charge, a series of ear-splitting sounds of air being torn apart echoed across the sky. Their frenzied, reckless aura made the surrounding experts shudder.
Xiao Han's wrist trembled slightly, the tribulation lightning condensing into a blood-colored long sword in her hand. Her footsteps paused briefly, and in the next instant, she disappeared from her original position, fiercely meeting the two head-on!
When the three figures violently collided in mid-air, terrifying energy instantly burst forth. Wave after wave of air surged outward with the three at the center, as if even the air was being torn apart. A series of piercing sonic booms rang out incessantly, like the howling of evil spirits.
Those present were greatly alarmed, hurriedly activating their Dou Qi to resist this terrifying energy while rapidly retreating, escaping the battle range. The puppets that didn't retreat were shattered one by one by the aftermath, their fragments scattered by the wild wind, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Boom—"
The three figures were simultaneously forced back, though the two men appeared somewhat disheveled, their black robes half-destroyed by the tribulation lightning, revealing upper bodies covered in wounds.
"What is that thing?!" One of the men's eyes flashed with shock. During the exchange, they had discovered the peculiarity of that lightning. It could actually break through their Dou Qi defense and directly harm their bodies. If they hadn't promptly erupted their energy and retreated the moment their Dou Qi defense was destroyed, they might not have escaped unscathed!
Xiao Han had neither the patience nor the inclination to explain. Her gaze cold, she slashed her long sword from top to bottom, and countless sword lights instantly appeared. As the sword lights appeared, even the surrounding space showed signs of distortion.
"Sword Formation of Return." With the long sword vertical before her, Xiao Han softly murmured. The surrounding sword lights all suddenly trembled and disappeared from their original positions.
As the sword lights vanished, an inexplicable uneasiness instantly surged in the hearts of the two men. They retreated without hesitation, but after retreating only about ten meters, they were thrown into disarray by sword lights appearing from nowhere.
Faced with the suddenly appearing sword lights, one of the men let out a roar, black Dou Qi erupting, shredding the sword light.
But the appearance of this sword light seemed to trigger some switch. Almost instantly, countless sword lights burst forth, the terrifying and extremely sharp energy seeming about to tear the two apart on the spot.
The two were greatly alarmed. These sword lights were not like the one they had just shredded. The energy contained in these sword lights was enough to directly shred a Dou Venerate without any resistance!
Not daring to be careless, the two suddenly reached out to grab each other, mobilizing all their Dou Qi.
"Domineering Soul Body!" With a hoarse shout, the two men's bodies began to change abnormally. In a strange black light, their bodies gradually began to fuse and expand, frantically elongating. Their originally 1.8-meter bodies almost instantly shot up to over 3 meters. The pitch-black Dou Qi on the body surface condensed into tangible black crystals, blood-red eyes transformed into beast eyes, containing the unique madness of beasts.
After successful fusion, this monster pounded its chest, roared in anger, and raised its fist to smash towards the surrounding sword lights.
The sky-filling sword lights almost completely covered the giant, but only left several wounds on its body without causing serious injury.
After all, they were nine-star Dou Saint, and moreover, two nine-star Dou Saint fused into one giant through a secret technique. Xiao Han didn't expect to deal with them through a single sword formation. She released the sword in her hand, and the long sword once again transformed into tribulation lightning, drilling into her body.
Seeing that the sword formation was about to be destroyed by the giant, Xiao Han raised her hands, quickly forming seals in front of her chest.
The moment the seal formation was completed, a primordial intent dozens of times more concentrated than before spread out with Xiao Han at the center.
If Gu Xun'er were here, she would discover that Xiao Han's seal formation just now was very similar to the first seal of the Heavenly Might Seal she used when battling sixteen seniors in the Inner Court.
Unlike the violent gale that erupted instantly when the first and second seals of the Heavenly Might Seal were completed, when Xiao Han completed this seal formation, only a faint, gentle breeze surged around.
But the giant about to break through the Sword Formation of Return suddenly tensed its body. A chill instantly ran up its spine as it could smell the despair-inducing sharpness and power hidden within this seemingly gentle breeze without any killing power.
Blood-colored tribulation lightning gradually spread along Xiao Han's arms to her palms, entwining her fingers. As her fingers formed the seal, it fused its own power into this seal.
Xiao Han took a deep breath. Blood light seemed to surge in her silver eyes as she pressed her palms together forcefully.
As she pressed down, the sky changed.
The originally clear sky was covered with heavy dark clouds in an extremely short time. Rolling thunder constantly rumbled and exploded within the dark clouds, and the air seemed to become thin.
The smell in the air became increasingly dangerous. Not only the giant trapped in the Sword Formation of Return but all present, whether from the Soul Clan, Spirit Clan, or their reinforcements, unconsciously held their breath, looking towards the sky that seemed about to collapse, a strange panic rising in their hearts.
Xiao Yan's expression also changed somewhat because he heard the panicked, gritting voice of Heaven's Path in his mind.
"She has actually awakened?! How is this possible? How is this possible?!"
Xiao Han was unaware and unconcerned with others' reactions. Her originally joined hands separated and slowly pressed down.
"Heavenly Might Seal: Three Seals Shatter Ten Thousand Spirits."
"Boom—"
Energy that had almost solidified pressed down towards the giant, as if able to suppress all evil spirits in the world. Its speed was not fast, even slow, but with every inch this energy moved downward, the pressure on people increased. By the time it approached the Sword Formation of Return, the giant felt a force pressing directly on its spine, unable to straighten its back.
With no way to retreat, the giant immediately let out a sky-piercing roar, its form growing even larger by several degrees. It raised both fists, fiercely smashing towards its head, seemingly intending to forcibly resist.
"Ten Thousand Demons Break the Soul!"
Accompanied by an ear-splitting roar, the seal and fists collided in the air. In this instant, an unusual wave rippled out. The next second, the earth shook and mountains trembled, the air emitting a piercing rumbling sound. At the center of the attack, large areas of space produced fine cracks, as if about to completely shatter.
The black crystals on the giant's body were constantly shattering, its skin splitting, blood beading all over its body. Especially its fists - as the Heavenly Might Seal pressed down, the bones in its fists were constantly deforming and breaking.
"No—No!!" The giant let out a desperate roar, but no matter how unwilling it was, it could not stop the advance of the Heavenly Might Seal.
Xiao Han's silver eyes were cold as her descending hands suddenly exerted two more points of force: "Suppress!"
"Boom—"
As her words fell, the originally slowly descending Heavenly Might Seal suddenly accelerated, pressing down with an unstoppable momentum.
Almost instantly, the giant's fists turned to dust, and as the Heavenly Might Seal pressed down, its arms gradually disintegrated.
The giant let out a terrified, despairing cry, but was suppressed and unable to move, only able to watch helplessly as its body turned to ash inch by inch under the terrifying energy of the Heavenly Might Seal.
"Bang—"
Amidst a cloud of dust, the Heavenly Might Seal finally completely smashed down, and in its original place, there was no longer any trace of those two Soul Clan members.
Looking at the figure standing in mid-air, the battlefield suddenly fell into silence.
