"Who are you?"
The contempt on Huyan Zhen's face vanished completely.
The pressure from Yao Lao, who had suddenly appeared before him, was too great, so great that it was simply not comparable to Yang Wudi, a Soul Douluo.
There was only one possibility!
The person standing before him was a Titled Douluo.
But...
He knew the names of all the Titled Douluos on the Douluo Continent, yet he had no impression of this person before him at all.
Could it be a hidden Titled Douluo unprecedented in Spirit Hall?
This thought was immediately extinguished by Huyan Zhen as soon as it was born.
Absolutely impossible!
If he were really from Spirit Hall, he wouldn't have such great hostility towards him, nor would he make no move after knowing Yang Fan's identity and strength.
Regarding Yao Lao's identity, Huyan Zhen's heart became increasingly confused...
"My identity is not for trash like you to inquire about."
Having said that!
A cluster of pale white flames rose from Yao Lao's palm.
Yang Fan could clearly feel that the Bone Chilling Flame at this moment was several times stronger than before.
Under Yao Lao's precise control, the powerful and cold aura instantly locked onto the members of the Elephant Armored Sect.
Boom—
In the blink of an eye...
Yang Fan saw the members of the Elephant Armored Sect standing before him turn to ash the moment they were enveloped by this cluster of pale white flame.
Yes!
Living people were simply gone.
All that remained was Huyan Zhen, who was still struggling desperately.
However, at this moment, the leader of the Elephant Armored Sect had also been suppressed to the point where he could not perform any extra actions, nor could he release his Martial Soul.
"You... who exactly are you?"
"If you kill me today, Spirit Hall will not let you go tomorrow."
Huyan Zhen attempted to use Spirit Hall's power to force Yao Lao to yield.
Spirit Hall?
Let alone Spirit Hall, even the entire Douluo Continent might not be enough to make Yao Lao fear.
Yao Lao's eyes suddenly opened wide; the original black pupils had now turned completely pale.
Yang Fan did not see Yao Lao do anything, yet the next second, Huyan Zhen's massive body shook violently.
The pale white flame instantly enveloped him...
The next second!
This leader of the Elephant Armored Sect followed in the footsteps of his clansmen.
Turned to ash, drifting with the wind...
Huyan Zhen's defensive power could indeed compare to that of a Titled Douluo, yet the pale white flame in Yao Lao's palm was a Heavenly Flame.
How could Huyan Zhen's mortal flesh and blood resist it?
Yang Fan watched as Huyan Zhen's two-and-a-half-meter tall body was burned to ash in an instant.
He was dumbfounded!
Was this Yao Lao's strength?
Even a Level 88 Defense Soul Douluo could be instantly killed.
"Mas... Master."
"What level of strength have you recovered to now?"
Yao Lao smiled lightly: "Currently, I can barely reach the mid-stage of the Soul State."
Thinking back to his weak state when he was first swept into the Douluo Continent by the spatial turbulence, and looking at now...
Yao Lao suddenly gained confidence in his heart.
Perhaps...
One day he could reshape his physical body and become that Venerable Yao who was popular in the Central Region (Zhong Zhou).
"Mid-stage of the Soul State?"
Yang Fan remembered Yao Lao had said before that his soul power was at the early stage of the Soul State.
"Master, I feel you should be a Super Douluo now."
He wasn't flattering, but speaking the truth!
On the Douluo Continent, everyone said Huyan Zhen's defensive power could compare to a Titled Douluo; this statement was definitely not groundless.
To instantly kill a Soul Douluo whose defense could compare to a Titled Douluo, if one's strength did not reach the level of a Super Douluo, it would be very difficult to achieve.
"Perhaps..."
Yao Lao did not have an accurate concept of what level his strength had reached on the Douluo Continent.
He only knew...
If he went to that Ice Fire Yin Yang Well Yang Fan spoke of next time, he could completely push through it.
"Master, a surprise!"
Although the upper and lower members of the Elephant Armored Sect had turned to ash, Yang Fan discovered a light within the ashes.
A Soul Bone!
From the appearance and shape, it could be seen that this was a 10,000-year Head Soul Bone.
And it was a Defense Type Head Bone!
Most Head Soul Bones on the Douluo Continent increased spiritual power or improved wisdom.
Head Soul Bones that improved defense were actually quite rare.
Yang Fan guessed that this soul bone most likely dropped from Huyan Li's head.
"Master, thanks to your mercy, otherwise this soul bone might have turned to ash along with them."
Yang Fan said.
"It is not as fragile as you think."
"It still takes several hours to refine a soul bone into a pill."
"If it were truly as useless as you say, how would soul masters on the Douluo Continent spare no effort to snatch soul bones."
The pill was refined!
Master and disciple quietly returned to the Breaking Clan while the sky had not yet fully brightened.
As for the Elephant Armored Sect...
They didn't know!
Yang Fan indicated that this matter had nothing to do with them.
...
Time flew quickly.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly...
It was time for the Four Clans to say goodbye again!
No matter how many unpleasantnesses the four clan leaders had during this period, the expressions on their faces were all extremely reluctant when parting.
The Strength Clan left!
The Defense Clan left!
And when the Speed Clan left, Yang Fan prepared a gift for them.
Ten bottles of Foundation Building Spirit Liquid!
Receiving a favor makes one uneasy!
When the Speed Clan was at its poorest and most difficult, they gave him a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
If he didn't make any representation, it would be too inhuman.
However, with Bai He's temper, giving him money was no different than slapping his face.
Thinking it over...
Only Foundation Building Spirit Liquid was the best choice.
No matter how high-minded Bai He was, could he refuse cultivation?
Even if he considered himself high-minded, could he still let the children of the Speed Clan suffer?
Yang Fan thought very correctly!
This old man was completely unable to resist medicine that could stimulate the potential of the family's young people.
He accepted it!
...
During this period.
The matter of the gamble between the Breaking Clan and the Elephant Armored Sect spread across the Douluo Continent.
One was the Elephant Armored Sect, hailed as the strongest defense, and the other was the Breaking Clan, specializing in attack.
The result of the gamble between the two sides instantly attracted the attention of many people.
When it was learned that Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan had narrowly defeated Huyan Zhen, the entire Soul Master world showed shock.
You must know...
Huyan Zhen was a Level 88 Soul Douluo, and his family was ranked sixth on the Douluo Continent.
Of course!
Many people did not fully believe this result.
They were all waiting for the head of the Elephant Armored Sect, Huyan Zhen, to appear and explain, yet this old boy actually played dead at this critical moment.
This caused those who questioned the result of the gamble to gradually lean towards the Breaking Clan.
Huyan Zhen's disappearance also made more soul masters start to look down on the Elephant Armored Sect.
If you lose, you lose!
Could hiding change the fact that the gamble was lost?
At the same time!
This gamble also let the entire Douluo Continent recognize the Breaking Clan.
Everyone knew that the Breaking Clan had not been depressed because of the Hao Tian Sect's abandonment.
They had been developing silently all these years...
For the Breaking Clan, becoming famous was a good thing, but it was also a bad thing.
