After all, he was fully aware of the power behind his own attack. Combined with his exceptional speed, he had already escaped the blast radius before the explosion erupted.

Staring at the extremely weakened Protector Tie ahead, Lin Feng's Heavenly Flame surged violently within his body. Finally, it formed a wide net of glassy-colored fire.

"Go!"

With a low shout, the fire net shot into the sky, then dove straight down at Protector Tie.

"You brat! You actually dare to openly capture a Protector of the Hall of Souls in broad daylight? Once the Hall of Souls finds out, you're dead meat!"

Sensing the intense heat radiating from the fire net, Protector Tie's heart filled with panic. He forced himself to sound fierce despite being inwardly afraid.

The black energy sphere he had used earlier had consumed a tremendous amount of his soul power.

And to make matters worse, he had been struck at close range by that brat's Flame Lotus explosion. His soul was now extremely weak.

If he were to be caught in that fire net, there would be no chance of escape.

Thinking of this, his illusory figure quickly retreated. At the same time, with a flick of his arm, several massive chains shot out in rapid succession.

Clang!

The metal chains had just barely launched before a seven-colored sword beam slashed across the sky and severed them cleanly.

Immediately after, the fire net descended, firmly trapping Protector Tie inside with his face frozen in sheer terror.

Chi~

"Aaargh!"

The moment the two made contact, thick white smoke and sizzling sounds erupted from his body. A bloodcurdling scream burst from Protector Tie's mouth as he writhed in agony.

Seeing this, the Glazed Flame swirling around Lin Feng surged once more. Several flaming chains shot out, piercing through Protector Tie's already weakened soul body.

In an instant, the once lively and arrogant Protector Tie was completely powerless.

With a wave of Lin Feng's hand, the chains retracted, pulling the illusory soul along with them.

"Why... why can you use the Hall of Souls's tec—argh!"

Before Protector Tie could finish his question, Lin Feng had already stripped off his storage ring, then summoned a cluster of Glazed Lotus Core Flame to wrap him completely.

He then took out a jade bottle, sealed the soul inside, and tossed it into his Serene Sea Storage Ring.

Having finished all that, Lin Feng finally turned his gaze to the battlefield where the Xiao Yixian was fighting.

Far off in the sky, the Xiao Yixian floated in midair, her silver hair in a tangled mess around her slender waist.

At this moment, her appearance was a bit disheveled.

Beside her, Yun Shan, whose Dou Qi level was significantly lower, couldn't keep up with the quality of Dou Techniques.

His once pristine white robe was now torn and tattered, with several areas showing signs of having been struck by the giant pincers of Xie Bi Yan.

As for their opponent, Xie Bi Yan looked even more miserable.

His entire body was drenched in blood, covered with crisscrossing cuts like fine slices from a blade, overlaid with blackened, scorched flesh from being burned by Heavenly Flame.

The contrast of blood and char formed a grotesque picture across his body.

"Heh, Xie Bi Yan, looks like this battle marks your Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's defeat."

With a flap of his skeletal wings, Lin Feng shot through the sky with a howl of wind and landed beside the Xiao Yixian.

Medusa followed right behind him. Four fighters at the Dou Zong level now surrounded Xie Bi Yan from all directions.

Below them, the struggling members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate—already barely holding on under the Poison Sect's protective array and their elite experts—completely lost morale upon seeing this scene.

Everyone understood clearly: with the loss of another Dou Zong powerhouse, Xie Bi Yan alone had no chance of winning against these formidable opponents.

"The people of Hall of Souls... acting so arrogant all the time, yet turns out you're nothing but a bunch of incompetent fools."

Xie Bi Yan's gloomy eyes swept across the four before him, cursing Protector Tie and all his ancestors a thousand times over in his heart.

Just earlier, that Protector Tie had vowed with such confidence—yet in the end, he was the first to fall.

"Hehe... perhaps this old man truly can't escape today, but even if I die, I'll make sure you all pay in blood!"

After a brief silence, Xie Bi Yan suddenly lifted his head, flashing Lin Feng and the others a savage, twisted grin.

He too understood—under the current situation, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

But even if he were to die, he was going to drag at least one of them down with him!

"Rooooar!"

Xie Bi Yan suddenly howled toward the sky. The features of the Blood Demon Scorpion Emperor on his body rapidly retracted inward.

Then, within the perception of Lin Feng and the others, the massive Dou Qi inside Xie Bi Yan suddenly began to boil violently, as if ignited all at once.

Clusters of blood-filled blisters began to swell across his skin, densely packed. And inside each blister, there churned a roiling pool of blood.

The grotesque sight sent a chill through Lin Feng and the others.

As for the people below, they were instantly struck by terror—hair standing on end, their spines shivering.

"Careful! He's trying to self-destruct!"

Not knowing the full situation, Medusa immediately shouted in warning.

Her seductive face was now heavy with seriousness.

The self-destruction of a Four-Star Dou Zong powerhouse—even for her—if she was caught too close, she might not die, but she would be gravely injured.

Just as Medusa's voice fell, the blood blisters on Xie Bi Yan's body suddenly swelled once more.

But just as his body expanded to the brink, a crisp pop rang out!

The expected self-detonation... never came.

Instead, to everyone's shock, Xie Bi Yan's body began to rapidly shrink in a bizarre manner.

And on his face, a vicious grin once again surfaced.

Blisters across his skin burst one by one. Then, his mouth puffed up, and he threw his head back!

"Pfft—!"

With a muffled explosion of blood and bile, Xie Bi Yan's mouth opened wide—

A streak of pitch-black light, like a shadow cutting through the sky, suddenly blasted out from his mouth!

This black beam wasn't large—only about the size of a thumb—but its speed… was terrifying, almost as though it pierced space itself.

The tail of the beam had just barely left Xie Bi Yan's mouth, yet the head of the light was already over a hundred meters away—right in front of Lin Feng and the others!

The dreadful energy contained within that black beam was enough to make even a Six-Star Dou Zong wary.

Seeing the sudden black flash, a trace of panic flickered across the Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes—she had clearly recognized what it was.

As someone who possessed the Woeful Poison Body, she had no fear of the Demon Poison Spot.

But if Lin Feng were to be struck by that thing... then it would become a major problem.

Realizing this, the Xiao Yixian's delicate figure instinctively dashed toward Lin Feng's side.

Seeing how desperately she moved to protect the boy beside her, a glint flashed in Xie Bi Yan's cold eyes, and a cruel smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

Suddenly, the black beam veered off course—

Carrying a putrid, stomach-turning stench, it slammed directly into Lin Feng's body just as he hesitated on whether to dodge!

The beam pierced through instantly, burrowing into his body at an alarming speed.

On the part of his skin where the beam had made contact, it left behind a thumb-sized black spot.

Within Lin Feng's spiritual perception, that black spot rapidly spread fine black lines outward.

These lines extended toward several key acupoints and meridians within his body.
