Seeing this, all the many Soul Envoys of the Dou Huang level from the Hall of Souls shouted loudly.
Immediately, pairs of purple-black Dou Qi wings spread open simultaneously, and the Dou Qi of all the Soul Envoys surged dramatically.
Without the slightest hesitation, they charged toward Xiao Yi in the air.
However, in the eyes of Xiao Yi at this moment, a Dou Huang was no different from an ant.
Xiao Yi, standing suspended in the air, slightly tilted his head, his lips curling into a small smile:
"The running dogs of the Hall of Souls truly are numerous..."
As Xiao Yi finished speaking, he raised his right hand and slowly snapped his fingers.
The next second, the Void Realm beside the group of Soul Envoys cracked open one by one.
Immediately afterward, colorless flames surged out from within the Void Realm, completely engulfing and consuming all those Dou Huang level Soul Envoys!
Instantly, the entire branch hall of the Hall of Souls was enveloped by miserable wails.
The next second, hearing the overwhelming cries, two plumes of thick purple-black smoke abruptly flew out from within the Hall of Souls.
The two plumes of smoke only slowly condensed into human forms when they reached Xiao Yi.
They were precisely the two Protectors of the Dou Zong level that Xiao Yi had previously detected using his Soul Power.
Xiao Yi actually had some impression of one of them; it was Protector Tie, a Three-star Dou Zong, who had appeared in the original work.
The other person was wearing the specialized long robe of the Hall of Souls, which was dark black inlaid with purple patterns.
Half of his face was covered by a dark bone mask, only revealing his right eye, and his fingers were exposed bone joints, emitting a chilling purple glow.
Judging by the aura emanating from him, it was clear that this person was the strongest fighting force currently in this branch hall: the Eight-star Dou Zong Heavenly Rank Protector!
"May I ask Your Excellency's name..."
"Your Excellency trespassing here is already a capital offense, yet you dare to strike and injure our Hall of Souls Soul Envoys. You truly are audacious..."
The Heavenly Rank Protector let out a cold snort, his solitary eye looking chillingly at Xiao Yi.
Immediately, purple-black Soul mist instantly appeared around the Heavenly Rank Protector, and the aura of an Eight-star Dou Zong was completely released.
He intended to use this to intimidate Xiao Yi.
However, Xiao Yi remained unmoved by the sight:
"An Eight-star Dou Zong..."
"Just an ant..."
Hearing this, a flicker of rage crossed the Heavenly Rank Protector's solitary eye.
Immediately, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind Xiao Yi.
Countless massive chains, emitting wafts of Soul mist, instantly emerged from within the Protector's wide, thick robe!
Under the Heavenly Rank Protector's control, the chains all flew toward Xiao Yi.
Seeing that Xiao Yi made no movement, the Heavenly Rank Protector mistakenly believed that his speed was too fast for the person in front of him to react.
"You pretentious brat, today you will pay the price for your recklessness!"
The Heavenly Rank Protector's lips curled slightly upward, looking certain of success.
Xiao Yi, however, merely let out a cold snort, just as the chains were about to touch him.
Xiao Yi slowly raised his hand, and with two fingers, effortlessly clamped down on the chains thrown out by the Protector.
At the same time, Xiao Yi's aura was finally no longer concealed.
The unique and magnificent venerable ring slowly appeared behind Xiao Yi.
Simultaneously, the terrifying aura of a Dou Zun Expert instantly erupted from Xiao Yi's body!
"A Dou... Dou Zun..."
Seeing this, the Heavenly Rank Protector's expression drastically changed, and he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Yet, no matter how hard the Heavenly Rank Protector struggled, he could not retract the chains, and his figure was directly suppressed by Xiao Yi, rendering him completely immobile.
Protector Tie, who was further away, also noticed the terrifying aura of Xiao Yi, the Dou Zun Expert. He knew deeply that his three-star Dou Zong strength was utterly insignificant before Xiao Yi.
Therefore, Protector Tie did not linger for a moment and immediately prepared to flee.
However, Xiao Yi also noticed Protector Tie attempting to escape, and merely let out a cold snort:
"Did this Venerable One say you could leave?"
As Xiao Yi finished speaking, he raised his left hand, and a powerful force instantly swept over Protector Tie's entire body!
A strong suction force forcibly dragged Protector Tie straight back.
Xiao Yi fiercely grasped Protector Tie's throat and let out a cold snort:
"Fearing battle before it even begins, you deserve execution!"
Immediately, boundless Fallen Heart Flame instantly appeared on Xiao Yi's arm!
He completely engulfed and consumed Protector Tie!
Feeling the searing pain of the strange flame, Protector Tie struggled instinctively, incessantly begging for mercy:
"No!"
"I don't want to die..."
Xiao Yi merely glanced coldly at Protector Tie: "Noisy!"
Immediately, Dou Qi fiercely condensed in Xiao Yi's palm, and he exerted force again!
The terrifying Realm suppression made Protector Tie, a Dou Zong, seem like a baby chick in Xiao Yi's hand.
He had no chance to resist whatsoever.
"Crack..."
A sound of bone cracking rang out, and Protector Tie, who had been struggling desperately moments ago, was now motionless.
And his Soul was also unable to escape the scorching of the Fallen Heart Flame!
In just a brief moment, a dignified Hall of Souls Protector of the Dou Zong level had met the fate of having his body and spirit destroyed.
Witnessing this scene, a trace of horror flashed through the solitary eye of the Eight-star Dou Zong Heavenly Rank Protector.
"You, you didn't just take a wrong turn!"
"You deliberately came here seeking revenge!"
Only now did the Heavenly Rank Protector react. This person's objective was clear: he had specifically come here intending to slaughter everyone in the Northwest branch hall!
"That's right, but there's no prize for you..."
Xiao Yi whispered softly, then his figure flashed abruptly.
He instantly appeared behind the Heavenly Rank Protector and fiercely threw a punch.
In an instant, the entire Eight-star Dou Zong Heavenly Rank Protector was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the cliff below his feet.
As the plume of thick smoke slowly dissipated.
The purple light surrounding the Heavenly Rank Protector flickered erratically; clearly, he was already severely injured and extremely weak.
Immediately, Xiao Yi slowly raised his hand and once again drew the Heavenly Rank Protector into his palm.
"If you dare to kill me today!"
"This old man will definitely make your life worse than death in the future!"
Xiao Yi merely raised an eyebrow: "Then I'd like to see whether your body and spirit are destroyed first today, or if I suffer a fate worse than death?"
As Xiao Yi finished speaking, the Fallen Heart Flame reappeared in his palm!
The Fallen Heart Flame transformed into that familiar fiery python!
With a hiss, it coiled around the Heavenly Rank Protector, preparing to consume him!
However, the next second, several purple light patterns suddenly appeared above Xiao Yi's head!
Immediately, the Void Realm where the purple light patterns were located violently tore open!
"I didn't expect the Northwest Continent to have someone so audacious..."
"To dare to come to my Hall of Souls seeking revenge... I'm afraid my Hall of Souls Protectors aren't so easy to bully..."
Deep and powerful voices drifted out from within the Void Realm.
Hearing this voice, several smiles instantly appeared on the Heavenly Rank Protector's face.
"Elder Zun!"
"Save me!"
Immediately, six figures slowly stepped out from the Void Realm.
The arrivals were precisely the Hall Master Elder of the Soul Hall, Venerable Qing Hai!
"A Dou Zun, huh..."
"They truly arrived at the right time..."
Xiao Yi raised his head, looked at Venerable Qing Hai in the air, and murmured in a deep voice.
