Chapter 32: Fusion of the Fire Lotus, Suppression of Yao Chen!
Chapter 32: Fusion of the Fire Lotus, Suppression of Yao Chen!
From the dense, eerie mist, piercing screams echoed, sending shivers down the spines of the Xiao Family members below.
Even from a considerable distance, they could sense the bone-chilling sensation emanating from the mist.
"Hiss—"
"So... terrifying!"
"This is the might of a Dou Wang."
Witnessing a Dou Wang's action for the first time left everyone speechless.
They had no doubt that if Xiao Cang wished, he could flatten the entire Xiao Family with a single palm.

Above the Xiao Family estate,
The dense, eerie mist writhed incessantly. After several miserable cries, Yao Chen began a fierce resistance.
Gradually, the eerie mist started thinning.
Moments later,
"Bang!"
A muffled sound accompanied a surge of bone-chilling white flames that swept forth, bursting the mist and reducing it to ashes.
Within the blaze, an elderly figure appeared disheveled, eyes ablaze with resentment and madness!
"Xiao Cang!!!"
Gritting his teeth, Yao Chen spat out those two words, fury dripping from every syllable.
He hadn't expected Xiao Cang, who seemed honorable and upright, to employ such a sinister and cold technique!
Moreover, the damage inflicted upon him was unexpectedly severe!
Had he not reacted swiftly and utilized all the accumulated Dou Qi of three years to activate the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to protect himself, he might have perished under that palm.
He now fully comprehended that to leave the Xiao Family today, he had to surpass this obstacle posed by Xiao Cang.
The bone-chilling Bone Spirit Cold Fire burned fiercely on his soul, elevating his aura.
"Burning the power of the soul?"
Xiao Cang observed calmly, making no move to stop Yao Chen's intentions.
He knew the terrifying nature of the Sad Wind Refinement technique, its immense damage to the soul, yet hadn't thought it could directly subdue Medicine Dust.
Despite Medicine Dust's current state, he was still a former Dou Zun powerhouse. Moreover, as an eighth-grade alchemist, Medicine Dust held countless cards up his sleeve.
In a life-or-death situation, he could unleash remarkably formidable combat strength.
Perfect timing, for he had just ascended to the pinnacle of the Nine-Star Dou Wang yesterday and was itching for action.
Why not exchange a few moves with Medicine Dust to limber up?
"Xiao Cang, I'll make you regret your actions."
Yao Chen's eyes blazed with fury.
Forced to the point of burning the power of his soul, he wouldn't hold back any longer.
Raising his weathered right hand, a bizarre bone-white flame danced upon it.
"Hmph, if you have the ability, come and try."
Xiao Cang sneered, lightly gripping a silver-white spear that flew out from his ring to rest in his palm.
"Swish!"
Gripping the spear, it quivered, emitting a chilling light and a faint roar, hinting at divine wrath.
How many more cards does this young man hold?
Medicine Dust's eyelids twitched suddenly.
Experienced as he was, seeing the moment of the Divine Wrath Overlord Spear, he knew this lance was no ordinary object.
Hence, he dared not hold back, gritting his teeth to elevate his aura to the extreme!
In an instant, his aura surged like a volcanic eruption, breaking through the boundaries of a Dou Wang, skyrocketing to a Five-Star Dou Wang!
"Xiao Cang!"
"Today, even if I sacrifice over ninety percent of my soul's power, I'll make you understand the cost of offending a Dou Zun powerhouse!"
Yao Chen roared, launching towards Xiao Cang, enveloped in bone-chilling cold fire.
"Excellent!"
Xiao Cang chuckled twice, wrist twisting as he fiercely thrust the spear towards Yao Chen.
"Boom!"
Two terrifying auras clashed fiercely, causing intense collisions in the air, stirring up horrifying ripples of Dou Qi.
"Quick, take cover!"
"Everyone, retreat behind us!"
Xiao Zhan, watching the terrifying Dou Qi fluctuations in the sky, paled instantly.
With a low roar, he and three elders dashed in front of the Xiao clan disciples, deploying their Dou Qi armor to withstand the residual shockwaves.
The elite Dou Masters also rushed forward, standing behind the four to protect the younger generation of the Xiao clan.
The younger ones were pale, trembling with fear!
The battle between Dou Wangs, even in its aftermath, was beyond their ability to endure.

In the sky, two white figures continued their onslaught, their clashes generating terrifying ripples of Dou Qi that spread across the Xiao Family estate.
For days, Xun Er had been recuperating in her room, tired from four days of intimacy with Xiao Cang, yet the significant commotion outside alarmed her.
"Brother Xiao Cang..."
Xun Er's expression turned worried, golden flames flickering in her eyes.
"Miss Xun Er, no need to worry. Xiao Cang... is stronger than I anticipated. Despite seeming to engage in a fierce battle with that unidentified soul entity, he's hardly using his full strength. It's akin to a cat toying with a mouse."
Suddenly, Ling Ying's figure emerged from behind Xun Er, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Ling Ying kept his gaze fixed on Xiao Cang, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

In the skies,
At first, Yao Chen was brimming with combat fervor.
He hadn't fought with such intensity in nearly two decades, feeling a hint of madness and exhilaration in his eyes.
But the more he fought, the more astonished and horrified he became!
Xiao Cang's Dou Qi seemed endless, effortlessly utilizing various high-level Dou techniques.
Especially Xiao Cang's overbearing spear, even without a technique, its casual thrusts generated incredibly terrifying power. And the faint roars of divine wrath shook his spirit.
On the contrary, after enduring Xiao Cang's relentless attacks, he was starting to struggle.
Even his soul power was nearing exhaustion.
If this continued, defeat was certain!
Without another thought, he clenched his teeth, his elderly fist wreathed in cold fire, fiercely blasting towards Xiao Cang!
"Burning Fire, Sunset Collapse!"
This was his strongest technique!
A fusion of Eight Extremities Collapse, Bone Spirit Cold Fire, and many other means, reaching an intermediate level of the Earth-Tier!
At its pinnacle, it could even rival high-grade Earth-Tier techniques!
With the Bone Spirit Cold Fire erupting fully, this technique's power was even more terrifying.
"Is this your full strength?"
"If so, then you'd better obediently become my puppet."
Contempt flashed in Xiao Cang's eyes.
Gripping the silver spear, enveloping it in Dou Qi, an unmatched momentum swept forth.
Low-tier Heavenly-Tier technique!
Sky-Overturning Annihilation Spear!
The moment the spear tip pierced out, the weather changed dramatically, whipping up a terrifying storm!
The power of Heavenly-Tier techniques was truly fearsome.
"Oh no!"
Yao Chen's expression changed drastically, sensing the terrifying aura from the spear tip, foreseeing his imminent fate.
In the next moment,
"Boom!!!"
The two terrifying techniques collided, unleashing an unparalleled storm that instantly spread in all directions.
Xun Er and Ling Ying's expressions changed.
"Uncle Ying! Uncle Xiao Zhan..."
Xun Er looked to Ling Ying, golden flames manifesting around her body, shielding her from the residual shockwaves.
"This guy is really reckless!"
Ling Ying wore a helpless expression, bursting forth at incredible speed to shield the Xiao Family members from this terrifying blow.
In the sky,
The terrifying waves of Dou Qi dissipated after a long while.
After a moment, a figure emerged from the aftermath.
Xiao Cang stood with a spear in one hand and held the transparent soul entity like a dead dog, slowly stepping out.
