Seeing the heavy casualties among their Dou Wang subordinates, the six individuals, including Fang Yan, were completely enraged. They exchanged glances, a silent understanding passing between them, and once again formed a surrounding formation, aggressively closing in.
This time, the three had nowhere left to retreat.
Their only option was a desperate fight!
Facing the encirclement, Chen Xiao and the other two quickly stood back-to-back, each on high alert for threats from different directions.
In this critical situation, Chen Xiao decisively ordered, "I'll hold off the three from Demon Flame Valley. Zi Yan, you keep Fan Lao and the old ghost from Black Skull Tomb busy. Xian'er, you focus on that Yan in the red robe; he's the weakest link. Finish him quickly!"
Chen Xiao was mostly familiar with the powerhouses in the Black-Corner Region. With a little thought, he could guess the identity of the red-robed Dou Huang; it had to be Yan from the Black Ranking.
At first glance, the current situation undoubtedly put Chen Xiao and the other two at a disadvantage. Even the Little Fairy Doctor, who had the highest cultivation level, was only roughly equal to the weakest opponent, the red-robed Yan.
However, surface cultivation level never equated to combat power!
Cultivation methods, Dou Skills, movement techniques, and various other factors all influenced combat power.
Chen Xiao had the Three Thousand Lightning Movement at his disposal, and Zi Yan was even more elusive, able to move freely under the noses of Dou Zong powerhouses. Relying on these advantages, and playing to their strengths while avoiding their weaknesses, it was difficult to kill powerful enemies, but they were absolutely confident in their ability to hold back their opponents' attacks.
The situation allowed for no hesitation. Seeing Fang Yan and the others pressing closer, Chen Xiao's Dou Qi erupted around him. His wings vibrated behind him, stirring up fierce air currents as they flapped. Electric light flowed around his feet like a swimming dragon, and instead of retreating, he advanced directly towards the three from Demon Flame Valley!
"Whirlwind Ice Kill!"
"Profound Ice Thorns!"
With the support of a Profound Mid-Rank cultivation method, Chen Xiao didn't need to worry about consumption. He simultaneously activated two Profound High-Rank Dou Skills.
In an instant, ice thorns shot out like raindrops, and ice blades instantly condensed, forming an ice blade storm that twisted and killed towards the three.
"Just as I wished!"
Fang Yan looked at the flashing Chen Xiao, a greedy glint in his eyes.
In the eyes of this group, the outcome of tonight was already decided. The demise of Chen Xiao and the other two was a foregone conclusion. However, how to divide the priceless Bodhi Transformation Saliva afterward had always been a thorn in their hearts.
Now that Chen Xiao, who possessed the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, had taken the initiative to attack, it undoubtedly gave them an opportunity to settle the matter.
As long as they killed Chen Xiao and seized the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, even if Old Eagle Mountain Man and Mo Tianxing were unwilling, they would no longer be able to take it away.
After all, Demon Flame Valley was not without Dou Zong powerhouses.
Moreover, that particular one was very, very strong, absolutely no less than Old Eagle Mountain Man and Mo Tianxing.
"Second Elder, Third Elder, finish this quickly!"
"Calamity Life Palm!"
Before Fang Yan's voice fell, his powerful Dou Qi condensed with a roar. The swirling grayish-brown air currents in his palm transformed into a giant palm over ten zhang in size, carrying a heatwave that could burn everything to ashes. It shattered all the raindrop-like Profound Ice Thorns, and the ice blade storm also turned into scattered ice shards under this terrifying palm force.
The pressure of a Half-Step Dou Zong surged like a tide, sweeping towards Chen Xiao.
As Fang Yan gave the order, the Second Elder and Third Elder of Demon Flame Valley also shot out like arrows from a bowstring, forming a pincer attack from left and right.
In an instant, gray Dou Qi surged and condensed in their palms, transforming into two surging torrents that tore through the air with sharp explosions, rushing towards Chen Xiao with destructive force.
Being simultaneously targeted by three top powerhouses put unprecedented pressure on Chen Xiao, but it didn't cause him to lose his composure.
"Three Thousand Lightning Movement: Three Thousand Lightning!"
Muttering to himself, Chen Xiao's feet surged with lightning, instantly spreading throughout his body.
*Boom! Boom!*
A roaring sound echoed through the sky as two streams of Dou Qi struck 'Chen Xiao' squarely.
Amidst the surging energy waves, the three people from Demon Flame Valley expected to see a gruesome scene of flesh and blood flying.
But when the dust settled, they were horrified to see three flashes of lightning disappear in an instant, then transform into three identical figures, each locking onto one person.
All three Chen Xiaos had eyes as cold as frost, their killing intent almost tangible, making it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.
The Second Elder and Third Elder dared not be careless and met the attack with their palms, only to be surprised as their palms passed directly through Chen Xiao's body.
"Fake!"
"Fake!"
The two spoke in unison, simultaneously looking towards Fang Yan, only to see a giant mystic ice dragon condensed from Dou Qi, charging towards Fang Yan with an unstoppable momentum. It was none other than the Ice Emperor's famous ultimate technique.
Mystic Ice Dragon Flight!
"Just a petty trick. Although this old man hasn't fully entered the Dou Zong realm, I am far beyond the peak of Dou Huang!"
Facing Chen Xiao's surprise attack, Fang Yan was not nervous at all. He sneered and immediately activated a Dou Skill to counter.
In an instant, he mobilized the Transformation Fire within his body, and with his impressive fire control ability, condensed a huge grayish-brown python-sparrow that circled behind him. With a sharp hiss, it fiercely charged towards the mystic ice dragon!
Chen Xiao had refined the Heavenly Cold Qi, and his Dou Qi's power far surpassed that of ordinary ice-attribute experts. Against fire-attribute experts without a Heavenly Flame, he should have had an advantage.
However, the grayish-brown python-sparrow that Fang Yan condensed was incredibly fierce. Under the absolute power suppression, it caused the mystic ice dragon to only last for a few breaths before being completely torn apart.
At this moment, the Python-sparrow Devouring Dragon became a reality!
With his attack broken, Chen Xiao's expression remained unchanged.
If the Profound High-Rank Mystic Ice Dragon Flight alone could severely injure Fang Yan, then this Grand Elder of Demon Flame Valley would be too weak.
Chen Xiao's feet flashed with lightning, and he quickly ascended a hundred zhang, avoiding the aftermath of the grayish-brown python-sparrow.
Although Fang Yan kept rambling on, one had to admit that this person was indeed very strong. Even in the original trajectory, he was the only half-step Dou Zong who was specifically highlighted!
"Let's see how many times you can dodge!"
Fang Yan sneered sinisterly, tapping his toes in the air. The wings on his back vibrated, and he attacked again with renewed anger.
The Second Elder and Third Elder followed closely behind.
Chen Xiao's figure swayed slightly, and the two destroyed clones condensed again.
Using the same trick again!
This time, Chen Xiao used the fake bodies to face Fang Yan and the Second Elder, while his true body went straight for the Third Elder.
Although this surprise attack still did not achieve substantial results, it completely disrupted the trio's attack rhythm.
Once, and again...
A single effective move can conquer the world!
Leveraging the advantage of Three Thousand Lightning Movement, Chen Xiao weaved and dodged in the air like the most detested assassin.
For a moment, he actually rendered these three top powerhouses helpless, their smiles completely replaced by grimness.
*"Boom!"*
A roar sounded from a distance, followed closely by a painful wail.
Fang Yan and the others looked over at the sound, only to find that the situation on the field was not as optimistic as they had imagined.
Zi Yan's battle was astonishing. Her three thousand strands of black hair danced wildly, and her usually lively face was now as serious as if covered in a layer of frost. Unseen, there seemed to be an indescribable majesty about her. Even Chen Xiao had never seen her look so fierce.
Zi Yan had completely abandoned the delaying tactic, facing Fan Lao and the Black Skull Tomb Master, two four-star Dou Huangs, alone. Purple energy swirled around her, and a vast pressure spread like a tsunami. Her fists struck like thunder, and her palms fell like collapsing mountains. Each blow carried the force of destroying heaven and earth, forcing the two Dou Huang powerhouses to retreat repeatedly, leaving them only able to parry, with almost no power to counterattack!
In her berserk state, Zi Yan was terrifying!
On the other side.
The battle between the Little Fairy Doctor and the Black Ranking powerhouse Yan was completely one-sided.
Both being three-star Dou Huangs, the Woeful Poison Body became an insurmountable chasm for Yan.
Whenever the Little Fairy Doctor's fingertips swept past, and palm shadows flickering with poisonous light came, he could only retreat in a hurry, barely resisting with a Dou Qi barrier, his offensive completely nullified.
Unfortunately, he had neither Chen Xiao's miraculous Three Thousand Lightning Movement footwork nor Zi Yan's innate spatial talent.
The relatively unremarkable Yan, by his own example, proved a truth.
Prolonged defense is bound to fail!
Under the Little Fairy Doctor's continuous poison attacks, his defense line gradually became riddled with holes until it was completely shattered.
That scream just now came from his mouth.
At this moment, Yan's hair was disheveled, black energy surged under his torn red robe, strange poison spots appeared on his pale face, and his breathing was as rapid as a broken bellows, his disheveled state showing complete decline.
It was foreseeable that if this continued, it wouldn't be long before he might become the first Dou Huang to fall tonight!
Seeing this scene, Fang Yan's brows furrowed tightly, and he instantly sobered up from his previous heated state.
He had already understood Chen Xiao's plan!
"Third Elder, go help Yan. Kill that poisonous woman. It's time to get serious. We can't let them keep dragging this out. Delays will lead to complications."
Fang Yan didn't care about Yan's life or death; he was just wary of the combat power the Little Fairy Doctor displayed.
All three of Chen Xiao's group surprised him greatly.
Since they had made a move tonight, they had to eliminate the roots!
If any of them escaped, it was highly likely to bring disaster to Demon Flame Valley!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the battlefield further away, the Heavenly Demon Puppet was like a killing machine, fearlessly suppressing the Old Eagle Mountain Man, leaving him no time to attend to anything else.
Everyone glanced over there, then withdrew their gaze. This outcome was the situation Chen Xiao wanted to see, and also the situation Fang Yan and the others were happy to see.
Listening to Fang Yan's instructions, the Demon Flame Valley Third Elder nodded slightly in agreement, and with a flicker of his body, he intended to withdraw from this battlefield and move towards the Little Fairy Doctor.
However, just at this moment, a chilling coldness suddenly swept across the battlefield.
This coldness seemed capable of freezing souls, even causing the boiling Dou Qi to momentarily stagnate, and the energy between heaven and earth surged wildly.
The Demon Flame Valley's Third Elder was startled and abruptly looked up.
He saw that Chen Xiao had appeared like a ghost in front of him at some unknown time. Around him, a biting frosty cold Qi swirled, like a thick mist suddenly rising, actually obscuring the bright moonlight until it was hazy and unclear.
Immediately after, under the stunned gazes of the few people, the frosty white mist surged and rolled, and a giant frosty hand nearly twenty zhang in size suddenly extended from within!
This hand had a majestic aura, as if it could control the coldness between heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, the moisture in the air instantly solidified into ice, falling with a rustling sound, carrying a world-destroying pressure as it fiercely slapped down towards the Third Elder's head.
"Heavenly Frost Palm!"
Chen Xiao roared, his voice as cold as ice, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
