The eighty-plus thugs immediately felt dizzy and experienced intense pain throughout their bodies.
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhhhh~!"
A chorus of screams began to echo through the manor, and in an instant, all these individuals were poisoned and fell to the ground.
They writhed and screamed on the ground, appearing to be in unbearable pain.
Witnessing this scene, the Spirit Masters who had not yet made a move felt a chill run down their spines and were terrified.
Before they could react, the poisonous mist had already spread towards the five Spirit Grandmasters and two Spirit Elders.
"Not good! The poisonous mist is coming! Quick! Get away from here!!"
The seven Spirit Masters were terrified and turned to flee.
However, three Spirit Grandmasters did not manage to escape the range of the poisonous mist and were poisoned and fell to the ground on the spot.
If it weren't for the distance, even the two Spirit Elders would have been poisoned and fallen to the ground.
"Such terrifying poison ability. What kind of people are these guys?" A Fei, the Spirit Ancestor in the shadows, felt a deep sense of dread towards Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan eliminated nearly a hundred people with a single move, leaving only two Spirit Grandmasters and two Spirit Elders.
And her third Spirit Ability was actually far more terrifying than this.
Spirit Masters can mobilize their spirit power to attach to their bodies, thereby defending against attacks or preventing poisonous mist from permeating their bodies.
However, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison is extremely potent; even ordinary Spirit Elders cannot defend against it, and the poisonous mist will penetrate the spirit power protection of Spirit Masters whose cultivation is insufficient.
As long as one is exposed to even a little of the poisonous mist, they will turn into a puddle of thick liquid and die within a short time.
But these people did not deserve to die, so Dugu Yan did not poison them to death; she merely poisoned them and made them fall to the ground.
This is the terrifying aspect of Dugu Yan; like her grandfather, Dugu Bo, she possesses extremely strong crowd-control abilities.
"This is bad! This woman is not… not someone we can deal with!" The remaining two Spirit Elders and two Spirit Grandmasters chickened out, their expressions panicked, and their footsteps continuously retreated.
They could sense that although they were all Spirit Elders, they seemed to be on a completely different level from Dugu Yan.
"I say, are you guys perhaps trying to escape?"
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out in the darkness.
A man with a pale face, a deep scar across his face, and a ferocious appearance appeared behind the four of them.
"The boss pays you, and if you dare to escape, he will kill you, you know. I think you should know the boss's strength, right?" The scarred man who appeared was none other than the Spirit Ancestor, A Fei.
This person was also a ruthless individual with many lives on his hands.
The four immediately felt extreme terror, couldn't help but swallow, and their retreating footsteps halted.
"Heh heh, it's just a three-ring Spirit Elder, a Spirit Grandmaster, and a one-ring Spirit Master, what are you afraid of?" A Fei sneered and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and attack them! Kill them!!"
"Yes! Brother Fei!"
"Spirit Possession!"
All four unleashed their Spirits, which were all Beast Spirits, and all were configured with one ten-year white ring.
"Kill!"
"Finally, a confrontation with Spirit Masters, and the lowest among these four is a Spirit Grandmaster. With my realm, I can only handle one Spirit Grandmaster!"
"Those two Spirit Elders will attack Miss Dugu Yan first, and there's one Spirit Grandmaster left. Can Miss Zhu Zhuqing, who only has one ring, deal with a Spirit Grandmaster?"
"If it really comes down to it, then I will single-handedly block two Spirit Grandmasters!"
Su Yuntao suddenly ignited, his fighting Spirit soaring.
"First Spirit Ability, Lone Wolf Possession!"
"Howl!"
Su Yuntao activated his self-enhancement ability, locking onto the two opposing Spirit Grandmasters and charging forward.
But just then, a black shadow instantly flashed before his eyes.
"What?!"
This black shadow was Zhu Zhuqing.
She rushed towards the enemy one step ahead of Su Yuntao.
"Heh, a mere little girl of fifteen levels, dares to rush up and seek death!" One of the opposing Spirit Grandmasters said with disdain, locking onto Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing rushed towards the opponent with an expressionless face, her steps very firm.
"Miss Zhuqing, the opponent is a Spirit Grandmaster! You only have 15 levels of spirit power."
Su Yuntao was a little flustered.
But just then.
"First Spirit Ability, Hell Rush Stab!"
Zhu Zhuqing, while running, instantly accelerated, her body flashing like a black light—fast, precise, and ruthless, very clean and decisive. In an instant, she severely wounded the overconfident Spirit Grandmaster.
Pfft! ~
"Ahhh~!"
The opponent screamed, his chest severely scratched by Zhu Zhuqing, blood gushing out.
He was gravely wounded by a single blow on the spot.
"So fast!! Even I could barely react to that attack just now, could I?" Su Yuntao was shocked.
He exclaimed, "Miss Zhuqing is also not simple! Yes… how could the women accompanying Young Master Lin Yu be ordinary?!"
The other Spirit Grandmaster, seeing this, also launched an attack on Zhu Zhuqing.
However, Su Yuntao had already stepped forward: "Your opponent is me!"
Bang!
Su Yuntao blocked with a punch the Spirit Grandmaster who wanted to attack Zhu Zhuqing.
This Spirit Grandmaster's Spirit was a black dog.
Su Yuntao's Spirit was a wolf.
A wolf and a dog, their strength countered each other.
The battle spread across the entire area, and both sides engaged in combat.
Dugu Yan alone dealt with the attacks of the two Spirit Elders.
Zhu Zhuqing single-handedly fought the 23-level Spirit Grandmaster she had severely wounded.
Su Yuntao, on the other hand, single-handedly fought the 27-level Black Dog Spirit Grandmaster.
Both sides engaged in an intense battle.
However, Dugu Yan alone suppressed the two Spirit Elders, and Su Yuntao also gained the upper hand, suppressing the Black Dog Spirit Grandmaster.
Zhu Zhuqing and her opponent fought evenly, but this person was already severely wounded and would eventually be defeated by Zhu Zhuqing as long as the fight continued.
Our side clearly held the upper hand, but there was still a Spirit Ancestor, A Fei, who had not made a move.
"You woman are truly not simple! Unfortunately, you are all doomed." A Fei's face showed a wild expression, a rat appeared behind him, and beneath his feet, four rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—emerged.
His Spirit was the Spatial Rat, possessing spatial abilities, a 41-level Spirit Ancestor.
"Oh? There's actually a four-ring Spirit Ancestor. It seems our information was wrong! Lin Yu, do you want to go up and instantly kill him?" Qian Renxue, who was observing from the shadows, raised her delicate eyebrows slightly.
Lin Yu shook his head: "It's fine, just a four-ring Spirit Ancestor. Yan Yan can handle him."
"Although I don't know why you launched a night raid, you are all certainly going to die tonight." A Fei sneered, waiting for an opportunity to ambush.
At this moment.
The two Spirit Elders simultaneously unleashed their third Spirit Abilities, jointly attacking Dugu Yan.
"Second Spirit Ability, Jade Phosphor Serpent Dance!!"
Dugu Yan also released her Spirit Ability, countering the Spirit Ability attacks of the two Spirit Elders.
Bang!
As both sides' powers clashed.
A Fei, seeing this, immediately seized the opportunity to strike: "Third Spirit Ability, Spatial Bite!"
"Heh heh hahahaha~"
Evil laughter echoed in the darkness.
A Fei's figure vanished into thin air, and the next second, he spatially shifted behind Dugu Yan.
Behind her, space began to twist.
A Fei's body transformed into a rat's head, breaking through the void, its rat mouth already wide open, about to bite Dugu Yan.
"It's over, woman, die!"
