Battle Through the Heavens: Starting with a conquest of Medusa, Xiao Yan is stunned.

Is that really the case?

After Ye Feng and Xun'er left, in the churning lava sea, a tiny cluster of white-gold flames slowly emerged. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a newly born... strange fire!

The Demonfire Plains, which was originally a mountainous area, has been transformed into a white plain in just over a year.

There are countless enormous cracks on it, which look like giant centipedes spreading out. The terrifying temperature rises from the cracks, making the air here extremely dry and impossible for any living thing to survive.

At least in the short term, no living organisms will appear, but that may not be the case in the future.

But precisely because of this, this place is both dangerous and safe, because apart from the scorching heat, there are no magical beasts here.

The plain was unusually desolate due to the disappearance of the Demon Fire Space, but it became bustling again after some adventuring mercenary groups discovered energy crystals full of fire attributes.

These violent fire-attribute crystals are known as demon fire stones. Some of these stones contain very faint remnants of demon fire, making them invaluable treasures for those who cultivate fire-attribute battle qi and for alchemists.

Absorbing the energy within the Demon Fire Stone not only strengthens one's battle aura, but even alchemists can absorb its flames, making the original flames much stronger.

Therefore, within a little over a year, this area was almost entirely divided up by various forces, who then divided up these strange demonic firestone resources.

Of course, while attracting humans to this place, it also gradually attracted some fire-attribute magical beasts. The magical beasts that can sense the fire attribute here for a short time are naturally of a high rank.

The three major magical beast families that have joined the Phoenix Night Alliance have all sent people to occupy considerable positions and rich areas, which are naturally the envy of others, but no one dares to offend the prestige of the Phoenix Night Alliance!

Besides the Phoenix Night Alliance, other forces have also intervened, including their mortal enemy, the Soul Clan. Even if they didn't get the Demon Fire, the Demon Fire Stone would still be good!

While it may seem that each major power is trying to occupy this place for the Demonfire Stone, their real purpose is to keep an eye on the Demonfire Space, or more precisely, on the person inside!

"boom!"

A blood-red sword, imbued with powerful battle aura, clashed fiercely with the eerie black blade. Sparks flew everywhere, and one of the men, clearly weaker, was instantly thrown back dozens of steps, spitting out blood and turning deathly pale.

The man's eyes darted around, a bloodshot glint in them. His gaze swept over his brothers, who were already dead or wounded, and his face turned even paler.

"Heh heh~ Blood Sword, heh heh~ It's nothing special. Elder Wu, hand over all the Demon Fire Stones! We've been watching you for almost half a month!"

The figure that the knife had sent the man flying was now standing in mid-air, laughing strangely.

"Elder Wu, you must leave quickly! They came prepared this time. You absolutely cannot let these guys get away with this..."

Behind the enormous blood-sword-wielding figure, a blood-covered man roared.

"Pfft~"

However, just as he landed, a long sword pierced through his back, silencing his words.

"A bunch of fools from Phoenix Night Pavilion! The Demonfire Stone is ours now, and you... are ours even more so!"

A chilling laugh echoed from all around, and then, with a whooshing sound, a series of black figures surrounded the man with the giant sword in his hand.

"Heh heh~ You've really gone to great lengths to catch me!"

The man's eyes swept over the surrounding shadows, and he sneered:

"Five Dou Zun experts and dozens of Dou Zong experts, they really think highly of me!"

The leading figure took a step forward, and all the surrounding figures unleashed their full power, with soul chains shooting out from their sleeves:

"You are that person's apprentice, after all. How could we be so sure of capturing you if we didn't make thorough preparations? Hehehehe~"

Knowing he had no other choice, the man decided to fight to the death.

"Bloodlust..."

The man raised his blood-red heavy sword with a ferocious expression, roared, and then his body shot out.

"on!"

Dozens of figures began to breathe heavily at that moment, and then they charged towards the man.

"Blood Flame Explosion!"

With a loud shout, an astonishing aura of killing intent erupted from the blood-red man's body, and at the same time, an enormous storm of blood-red flames suddenly appeared!

"This move... is..."

"As expected, he practiced that person's fighting techniques!"

Upon seeing the man use such a fighting technique to instantly kill more than ten Dou Zong, the dark figure frowned, revealing his withered face, and then ruthlessly slapped down with his right hand.

"Soul-Destroying Palm!"

"Kill the soul!"

"Pfft~!"

Under the attack of dozens of figures, the man in the blood-red robe coughed up another mouthful of blood. Clearly, he was no match for so many powerful attacks.

The elder of the Soul Clan alone is difficult to deal with; how could he possibly cope with the others?

The man in the blood-red robe stared coldly at the elderly man at the head of the group, his murderous aura instantly transforming into a chilling aura:

"If you want to capture me, then you'd better be prepared to die! Die, you bastard!"

"Yellow Springs... Finger!"

………………

Chapter 548 The Medicine Clan Gathering Has Begun?

A chilling aura shot out from the blood-robed man's hand, heading straight for the black-robed old man.

"...Ah~"

Heavenly-rank combat skills are not just for show. No matter how strong the old man was, he was only a Dou Zun, while the man in the blood robe was also a newcomer to the Dou Zun realm. With one strike, he pierced through the old man's heart.

The piercing scream made the others tremble; a single blow had killed Protector Mo!

This person truly lives up to his reputation as that person's disciple, but that's all he is!

"Hehehe~ Wu Hao! After using such a fighting technique, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? With your fighting spirit depleted, you might as well surrender!"

Looking at the man whose body was surging with murderous aura and enveloped in blood-red flames, another old man stepped forward.

Clearly... these Soul Clan guys just like to use these kinds of hidden methods. That so-called Protector Mo is nothing more than a protector.

The Soul Clan of today is not the same as the Soul Clan of the past who hid their strength. Previously, the Soul Clan's protectors only needed to be at the Dou Zong level, but now... the minimum requirement is Dou Zun.

As for what the Dou Zong does?

Of course, they are the most ordinary members. Those below the Dou Zong level have it even worse; they can only be considered as... laborers who are always ready to be exploited!

"Whether I lack fighting spirit or not, you are welcome to try! Do you... dare to?"

Wu Hao stared at the remaining four old men, his eyes filled with an incredibly ferocious aura.

"Attack him all at once! He's already at his last gasp; he's just a lowly Dou Zun! Capture him, hang him up, and let the Phoenix Night Pavilion people have a good look at him, hehehe~"

The gloomy old man glanced coldly at the man who was stubbornly resisting, and said indifferently.

"Yes!"

As the old man's voice fell, the Dou Zong who were originally terrified by Wu Hao's murderous aura all responded respectfully.

However, the moment they took their first step, they suddenly found their bodies stiffening. They all quickly turned to look at the old man who had just risen to a higher status.

But the moment they turned their heads, they saw an extremely terrifying scene: the old man's head suddenly flew off into the air, and blood shot into the sky like a pillar of blood!

"Gudong~"

At this moment, although countless people had died at their hands, their faces were still deathly pale.

Because that old man was the strongest person after the previous Protector Mo, and his strength had reached the three-star Dou Zun level, yet he was cut in half without warning...

Devil!

"Who is it? Who dares to interfere in the affairs of my Soul Clan!"

"Capturing my disciple and hanging him up—the Soul Clan's audacity is truly remarkable these days!"

At this moment, Wu Hao suddenly turned his head and looked behind the old man who had fallen to the ground. There, the space slowly fluctuated, and two figures, a man and a woman, slowly emerged.

The moment Wu Hao saw the two of them, his eyes were filled with joy. Despite being a tough guy, his eyes were glistening with tears.

"Protector Mo?!"

The sudden turn of events caused everyone present to stop what they were doing. The minions of the Soul Clan stared in horror at the headless corpse lying on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the face that had rolled several times still retained the cold, sinister look it had before giving the order, making it look chilling.

"Who are you? This is the territory of my Soul Clan!"

The poor Soul Clan Venerable Protector, two of them died before their names were even known, and now... another one has stepped forward.

However, he acted very naturally, and his voice trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the man and woman.

"When did the Demonfire Plains become your Soul Palace's territory? This place has always belonged to our sect!"

Within its purplish-black pupils, the eerie lotus flower emanated a chilling aura, instantly locking onto the remaining dozens of men in black. The next moment…

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of muffled explosions echoed throughout the space. With each sound, one of the Soul Clan's minions was blown apart, a scene so horrifying that the remaining three Venerables felt their hands and feet turn to ice.

"Run!"

At this moment, the surviving members of the Soul Clan realized how terrifying the person before them was, and that running away might offer them a sliver of hope.

But they were thinking too much. Just then, the terrifying explosion landed on them!
