Five Ban Sheng!
She Lao's face darkened as he glared at Gu You and the others in the sky. Clearly, he hadn't expected the Hall of Souls to join forces with the Tian Ming Sect, sending a total of five Ban Sheng into battle!
In a grave tone, She Lao commanded, "I'll handle Gu You and Old Demon from Tian Ming Sect. Qing Zhi, you take on the two mid-level Ban Sheng. As for the early-level Ban Sheng, Xiao Yu, Cai Lin, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yixian, the four of you will delay him!"
The early-level Ban Sheng from the Hall of Souls had only recently broken through. His power hadn't yet been fully stabilized, so while the four women couldn't defeat him outright, stalling him for a while was feasible.
"She Lao…"
Hearing She Lao's decision to face two opponents alone, Xiao Yu and the others' expressions changed slightly. While She Lao was a high-level Ban Sheng, neither Gu You nor Old Demon from Tian Ming Sect was weaker than him individually. If they joined forces, She Lao would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Qing Zhi, on the other hand, remained expressionless. With the Dou Sheng remains as his body, holding off two mid-level Ban Sheng wasn't too overwhelming for him.
"That's settled. Be careful, everyone."
Without further discussion, She Lao's figure flickered and reappeared before Gu You and Old Demon of Tian Ming Sect, not far away. A torrent of terrifying purple-gold energy surged from his body, locking onto the two opponents.
"Jie jie, She Wuwan, you're quite arrogant, thinking you can hold the two of us back by yourself?" Gu You and Old Demon sneered upon sensing She Lao's focus on them.
Ignoring their mockery, She Lao's face remained cold. The purple-gold energy around him exuded a dreadful aura, distorting the surrounding space.
"Attack! Surrender, and you will be spared. Resist, and you will be killed without mercy!"
Old Demon's voice was icy as he stepped forward, his words filled with murderous intent.
"Yes!"
At his command, the strong fighters of Tian Ming Sect and the Hall of Souls revealed their killing intent.
Powerful Dou Qi surged forth like a tide. Simultaneously, the strong fighters from the Yuan Manor activated their Dou Qi, glaring at the intruders with hostility.
"Kill!"
The standoff lasted but a moment before a furious roar broke the silence. The strong fighters from Tian Ming Sect and the Hall of Souls turned into streaks of light, charging toward Yan City.
Not to be outdone, the Yuan Manor forces also surged forward. In the skies above, a fierce clash erupted, with deafening explosions echoing across the realm.
As She Lao engaged Gu You and Old Demon, Qing Zhi confronted the two mid-level Ban Sheng from the Hall of Souls.
"So, you're Qing Zhi of the Yuan Manor? Your mastery of freezing techniques is remarkable," one of the sinister-looking Ban Sheng remarked with a cold smile.
"Anyone who challenges the Yuan Manor will die," Qing Zhi replied impassively.
"Jie jie… Such arrogance! A mere Ban Sheng dares to boast about facing two opponents? Today, the Yuan Manor will be annihilated!" sneered the other mid-level Ban Sheng.
Yet, as his words fell, an extreme chill silently emanated from Qing Zhi. Even the soul power of the Ban Sheng seemed to freeze under this cold energy.
"This freezing energy… terrifying!"
Feeling its potency, the Ban Sheng's expression shifted. With a wave of his sleeve, a surge of evil black mist burst forth, surging toward the icy energy like a ravenous beast.
The white frost and black mist collided, producing a screeching sound. In the air, the colors of their powers intermingled, each trying to overpower the other. To their shock, the black mist, which had terrified countless strong fighters, began freezing bit by bit.
The two mid-level Ban Sheng were stunned, their gazes toward Qing Zhi now filled with gravity and caution.
The Hall of Souls' early-level Ban Sheng, after seeing Qing Zhi entangle his comrades, turned his attention to the chaotic battlefield below.
However, just as he prepared to act, a terrifying cyan wind blade and a rainbow-colored lightning strike slashed down from the sky.
"Hmmph!"
The abrupt attack made the Ban Sheng narrow his eyes. With a wave of his sleeve, he shattered the wind blade and lightning effortlessly.
Looking toward the source of the attack, he saw a woman with long, slender legs standing alongside a massive, thousand-foot-long rainbow-colored serpent hovering in the air. An unusual pressure descended.
"A member of the Xiao Clan and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python?"
The Ban Sheng's gaze flickered as he recognized Xiao Yu and the massive serpent. Just as he was about to strike, a narrow beam of dull yellow energy streaked toward him.
The corrosive aura emanating from the energy made him frown. With a gesture, he froze the energy midair and dispersed it with a flick of his fingers.
"Hiss!"
Before he could relax, a hissing sound echoed. His gaze shifted, landing on a green-clad woman suspended in midair. Behind her loomed a thousand-foot-long serpent with nine heads, its shadow faint but oppressive.
"An Ancient Heaven Serpent?!"
The Ban Sheng's expression grew serious. Though the four women were only at the peak of Dou Zun, one had the bloodline of the Xiao Clan, one was the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, another wielded deadly poison Dou Qi, and the last possessed an Ancient Heaven Serpent.
Even for him, freshly ascended to Ban Sheng, facing these four together brought undeniable pressure.
"I've heard that the leader of the Yuan Manor has four wives, all stunning beauties and top talents. Seeing them today, the rumors are indeed true," the Ban Sheng said, his gaze scanning the four women with a hint of envy and resentment.
For most men, winning the favor of just one of these women would be a dream come true. Yet, Xiao Yan held all four, a fact that incited jealousy.
His expression darkened. Regardless of his personal feelings or the mission, the Yuan Manor had to be destroyed.
"Today, the Yuan Manor will perish!"
The Ban Sheng sneered coldly. His figure blurred, appearing before the four women in an instant. A brutal battle erupted.
Above the heavens, three figures clashed at lightning speed, sending ripples of terrifying Dou Qi radiating outward in rings.
"Humph!"
Their figures intertwined, and all three were forced several steps back. Each step left behind shattered pockets of space, collapsing into dark voids.
"Heh, She Wuwan, so what if you're a Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent? Do you really think you can take on the two of us alone?" Gu You sneered coldly, steadying his turbulent energy and glaring at the grim-faced She Lao not far away.
"Tian Ming Palm!"
From the other side, Old Demon Tian Ming thrust his palm forward. Behind him, a massive shadow moved in sync with the attack.
The enormous palm carried a chilling wind that tore through the air with explosive soundwaves, bearing down fiercely on She Lao.
Sensing the terrifying energy gathered in the shadowy palm, She Lao did not dare to hesitate. Purple-golden energy surged out, quickly coalescing into a colossal palm of similar size, which collided head-on with the Tian Ming Palm.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion echoed across the sky as the two forces clashed, unleashing a terrifying storm of energy that spread outward.
The Dou Qi storm swept through the battlefield, forcing even Old Demon Tian Ming to retreat several steps, his breath momentarily disrupted.
Although Old Demon Tian Ming struggled, She Lao was no better off, his blood and energy surging chaotically within him.
Just as he managed to suppress the turmoil, a shadow suddenly expanded in his vision—a fierce, icy palm strike came hurtling toward him, leaving him no choice but to meet it head-on once more.
"Bang!"
The collision sent a tremor through She Lao's body. Even with his formidable strength, he couldn't help but feel a bitter taste rise in his throat, which he forcefully swallowed down.
Though the three of them were on the same level, She Lao was a rising star, and facing the relentless tag team of two seasoned veterans left him at a clear disadvantage.
"Haha, She Wuwan, do you still plan to stubbornly hold on?"
Gu You and Old Demon Tian Ming closed in relentlessly, their attacks pressing She Lao into a losing position. His fatigue began to show.
Meanwhile, the Hun Clan's Ban Sheng capitalized on this distraction, delivering a devastating blow to the distracted Xiao Yu. One after another, the four women were defeated.
Only Qing Zhi duel with the two intermediate Ban Shengs of the Hun Clan persisted, though the outcome was clear.
The morale of the Yuan Manor fighters sank as they witnessed the scene. She Lao was their strongest pillar, while Xiao Yu and the others were their core support. If they fell, Yuan Manor's resolve would crumble.
"Haha, this is the price for offending the Hall of Souls!" Gu You laughed maliciously, exhilarated by their impending victory. Although he was puzzled by Mo Yu's absence, he couldn't contain his glee.
But just as Gu You's laughter rang out, the entire Yuan City suddenly trembled violently. Even the towering city walls shook as though an earthquake had struck.
"What's happening?"
The sudden upheaval caused Gu You and Old Demon Tian Ming's expressions to shift drastically.
"Boom!"
Before their words faded, a cyan mountain deep within Yuan City's rear exploded into fragments.
The colossal mountain disintegrated instantly into rubble and dust. At the same time, a torrent of thunderous energy, like apocalyptic lightning, surged forth from the depths of the mountain. It transformed into a rolling sea of thunder that swept rapidly toward the battlefield.
Within the raging thunder, a cold, commanding voice resounded across the heavens:
"Today, none from the Hall of Souls or Tian Ming Sect shall leave Yuan City alive!"
With this chilling declaration, an overwhelming aura of authority and power rippled outward like lightning, suffocating the air.
The terrifying pressure rooted Gu You and Old Demon Tian Ming in place. A wave of disbelief and horror washed over their faces as they cried out in alarm:
"Dou Sheng?! Impossible!!"
From the depths of the thunder sea, a thunderous path opened, and a figure with silver eyes stepped out, walking calmly atop the stormy tide.
"Mo Yu?!"
"The Manor Lord! The Manor Lord has emerged from seclusion!"
Astonished gasps erupted from within Yuan City. For the members of Yuan Manor, it was a cry of elation; for the Hall of Souls and Tian Ming Sect, it was a cry of despair.
"Impossible! This brat was only at the peak of Dou Zun two years ago. How could he have broken through to Dou Sheng? And a true Dou Sheng at that?!" Gu You's voice trembled with disbelief.
"That's Mo Yu? Wasn't he said to be just an early-stage Ban Sheng? What's going on? How has he become a genuine Dou Sheng?!"
Even Old Demon Tian Ming, a seasoned figure with centuries of experience, couldn't stop the twitch in his face as he roared in shock.
He himself, after centuries of cultivation, was merely at the pinnacle of Ban Sheng. The gap to Dou Sheng was vast and insurmountable.
Yet this young man, Mo Yu, had leaped past the Ban Sheng level entirely to become a Dou Sheng.
All of Yuan City fell silent as every battle halted. Fearful or fervent gazes turned to the figure emerging from the thunder sea. Under the oppressive pressure, even Dou Zun-level experts felt their spirits tremble.
The aura emanating from Mo Yu was several times stronger than the combined power of Gu You and the other high-level Ban Shengs.
In the rolling thunderclouds, Mo Yu stood in the void, his silver eyes cold as he surveyed the battle-scarred Yuan City.
Even Gu You and Old Demon Tian Ming couldn't help but shiver under his icy gaze, feeling a bone-deep chill.
If they had dismissed Mo Yu before, they now regarded him with genuine fear—terror, even.
A true Dou Sheng had arrived!
This was no longer a battle they could control.
