"Arrogant!"
Yun Shan's calm, yet incredibly imposing words enraged the shadowy figure.
He roared, but the display of power Yun Shan had just shown made him feel a bit troublesome.
This person's strength had actually reached the Three-Star Dou Zong, on par with his own.
But if that was all, it was far from enough.
As a Guardian of the Soul Hall, his cultivation techniques, Dou Skills, and secret arts were far beyond what a Sect Master of a small Sect in a remote corner like the Northwest Continent could compare to.
"Watch how this Protector suppresses you!"
As the shadowy figure finished speaking, he suddenly pushed his palms forward.
In an instant, strong winds howled, space twisted, and four dark chains burst out from his body, shooting towards Yun Shan from four directions.
Black mist rolled over the chains, each one resembling a giant black python, and faintly, the wailing sounds of wronged souls could be heard.
These sounds almost materialized, like sharp blades.
"You do have some tricks!"
"If it were an ordinary Three-Star Dou Zong, facing this attack of yours, he would only be able to dodge, but unfortunately, your opponent is this Venerable One!"
Yun Shan smiled calmly, and with a single gesture, a green longsword instantly appeared in his hand.
Green light shimmered on the longsword.
But amidst this brilliant glow, an extremely sharp and formidable aura spread out.
"Wind Spirit—Splitting Sword!"
Yun Shan let out a low shout, raised his hand, and swung a sword, his posture free and easy.
But as he casually swung this sword, a sword hum suddenly echoed in the air.
Hundreds, even thousands, of green sword shadows converged in front of him.
After he made his move, these myriad sword shadows also poured out, like a torrent of sword qi.
Although the Wind Spirit Splitting Sword was only a Profound-tier Middle-grade Dou Skill, the power it unleashed in Yun Shan's hands was thousands of times stronger than Nalan Yanran's in the original work.
Boom!
The green torrent of sword qi tore through the air, instantly colliding with the four chains resembling giant pythons.
The sound of a fierce energy explosion reverberated throughout the entire Yunlan Sect.
The ripples spread out like a tide at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, the entire Yunlan Sect trembled.
Up and down the Yunlan Sect, disciples and Elders alike all looked in the direction of the explosion, their expressions shocked.
What happened!
That was where the Sect Hall was located, and even the Old Sect Master was present; who would dare to be so presumptuous there?
In another great hall.
Yun Yun heard the commotion coming from the Sect Hall, her expression changed slightly, and she stood up.
The other women also looked at Qi Lin, asking in surprise, "This commotion, who is fighting with Old Sect Master Yun?"
Qi Lin casually glanced in the direction of the Sect Hall, then smiled, "Don't panic, the person who came is just a Dou Zong-level Guardian of the Hall of Souls, he should be here for Protector Wu, but from his appearance, I'm afraid he's no match for Brother Yun Shan."
Because he was staying at the Yunlan Sect, Qi Lin naturally wouldn't be stingy and also gave Yun Shan many gifts in return.
Otherwise, how could Yun Shan have broken through to Three-Star Dou Zong in just one year?
One must know that he had only barely broken through to Dou Zong with the help of Protector Wu before.
Moreover, his foundation was unstable, making him absolutely one of the weakest among Dou Zongs.
With Qi Lin's help, he not only rebuilt his foundation, but his realm also broke through to Three-Star Dou Zong, so suppressing a Guardian of the Hall of Souls of the same realm was naturally no problem.
With Qi Lin's words, Yun Yun's anxious heart finally settled.
Qi Lin then smiled, "It's rare to encounter such excitement, let's go, we'll go watch together."
"Alright!" the women responded with a smile, and then everyone rushed towards the Yunlan Sect Hall together.
At the same time.
In a side hall within the Sect Hall, two figures were clashing fiercely.
However, compared to the Guardian of the Hall of Souls, Yun Shan always stood with his hands behind his back, facing the enemy with one hand.
Even so, his every move could still unleash immense power, and he did not fall behind in the slightest against the fierce offensive of the Guardian of the Hall of Souls of the same realm.
"It seems I overestimated you; with your methods, even if you use all your strength, it's still not enough to satisfy me."
"What other trump cards do you have? Bring them all out!"
Yun Shan said indifferently, and with a casual palm strike, a green giant hand instantly annihilated the attack launched by the Guardian of the Hall of Souls.
The air waves rolled, and the entire palace trembled violently.
After a great battle, this palace was already a mess, with ravines carved out by chains and cracks split by sword qi everywhere.
The entire palace looked precarious, as if it could collapse at any moment.
"Bastard, you actually look down on me so much!"
"Do you really think this Protector can't do anything to you?"
The Guardian of the Hall of Souls' eyes were bloodshot; he looked quite disheveled at the moment, his black robe torn with gashes by sword qi, blood soaking and gushing out.
He had originally intended to retreat, but Yun Shan's arrogant words enraged him, and even at the cost of paying a certain price, he wanted to suppress Yun Shan.
"Soul Devour!"
The Guardian of the Hall of Souls let out a long howl, flicked his robe, and released countless illusory figures screaming in agony.
Then he opened his mouth and inhaled, his mouth like a black hole, sucking all these illusory figures into his belly.
The next moment, the aura on the Guardian of the Hall of Souls' body also surged at a visible speed.
In just a few breaths, his aura instantly soared to the level of a Five-Star Dou Zong.
Although such an aura was very unstable, between Dou Zongs, each realm was like a chasm.
And not everyone could fight above their level.
Yun Shan sensed the changes happening to the Guardian of the Hall of Souls' body, and the expression on his face immediately became a bit more serious, with a faint smile.
"Interesting!"
Then, the hand that Yun Shan had always kept behind his back finally dropped, and he faced the enemy with both hands.
"Now that you're taking it seriously, it's too late!"
"After this Protector suppresses you, I will extract your soul and then interrogate you about Protector Wu's whereabouts."
The Guardian of the Hall of Souls shrieked, black mist rolled around him, and a sinister aura enveloped the entire palace.
"By you!"
"You don't need to interrogate me about Protector Wu's whereabouts; I will send you down to meet him now."
Yun Shan said indifferently, waving his longsword with one hand and forming hand seals with the other.
In an instant, the energy around him surged like boiling water, forming circles of green ripples.
And the longsword in his hand erupted with a dazzling, brilliant light, like a great sun.
A majestic wave also spread out with the great sun.
Opposite, feeling the pressure emanating from the longsword in Yun Shan's hand, the Guardian of the Hall of Souls' pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression changed drastically.
This pressure... could he withstand it?
In the nick of time, Yun Shan's calm voice echoed in the hall.
"Extreme Wind · Sunset Radiance!"
