53: Two against one, the advantage is in my hands!

Jiang Luo did not dodge or evade; the Dou Qi within his body erupted explosively, and the pressure of a Dou Zong was like a giant wave crashing ashore.

He raised his hand and clenched it, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy frantically gathered, condensing into a Dou Qi Battle Blade shimmering with cold light in his palm.

"Slash!"

The blade glow instantly cleaved the black chain into two halves.

Jiang Luo's figure moved like lightning, taking advantage of the momentum to close the distance. The blade glow, carrying the Aura of destroying heaven and earth, struck directly at Protector Wu's head.

Protector Wu hadn't expected Jiang Luo's offensive to be so fierce. He quickly retreated, simultaneously forming hand seals: "Nine Forest Hundred Soul Devour!"

Countless fine black threads shot out from the black mist. Each thread contained a potent poison that corroded the Soul, covering the sky and earth as they enveloped Jiang Luo.

"Insignificant tricks!"

A cold light flashed in Jiang Luo's eyes. The Dou Qi Battle Blade immediately transformed into a Light Shield, blocking all the black threads entirely.

Above the Light Shield, scorching Dou Qi erupted, actually incinerating the black threads into ashes.

"You can actually restrain my Soul Technique?" Protector Wu was greatly alarmed.

"To deal with rats like you who crawl in the gutter, naturally, I must have some countermeasures prepared," Jiang Luo said calmly, condensing an Energy Sphere in his hand once more—the same killing move that had previously deterred Yun Ling.

As soon as the Energy Sphere appeared, the surrounding space violently twisted, and the terrifying suction made even Protector Wu feel palpitations.

"This is bad!" Protector Wu turned around, intending to flee.

"It's too late to try and leave now!" Jiang Luo fiercely hurled the Energy Sphere, which, like a small celestial body, whistled as it chased after Protector Wu.

Protector Wu could only brace himself and turn back to resist, condensing a Massive Shield of black Dou Qi in front of him.

"Boom—"

The Energy Sphere collided with the Massive Shield, erupting in an earth-shattering roar.

The Massive Shield instantly became covered in cracks and shattered explosively. The terrifying shockwave sent Protector Wu flying, causing him to crash into the mountain wall and spit out a mouthful of black blood, and his black mist-shrouded figure thinned noticeably.

"Who exactly are you?" Protector Wu was both shocked and enraged.

When did the Jia Ma Empire produce such a formidable person?

Even he was not his opponent!

Jiang Luo pressed closer step by step, his gaze cold as frost: "A dying man is not qualified to know This Sect Master's identity!"

The close-quarters offensive left Protector Wu struggling to cope. Within a few rounds, he fell into a disadvantage, much of the black mist surrounding him was scattered, revealing the withered body beneath.

"Brat, if you kill me, the Hall of Souls will not let you go!" Protector Wu was forced into a desperate situation and roared frantically.

"Threatening me?" Jiang Luo's offensive grew fiercer. "Today, I will let you see the consequences of provoking me!"

He slammed a punch into Protector Wu's chest. The black mist violently churned, and Protector Wu screamed as he flew backward, crashing down next to Yun Shan.

At this moment, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of Yun Shan, who was lying on the ground. His gaze swept over Yun Ling and the others trembling not far away. Disregarding the camaraderie of the Sect, he abruptly activated a Secret Technique, and black Qi, like vines, wrapped around the group of Elders led by Yun Ling.

"Old Sect Master! Have mercy!" Yun Ling, who bore the brunt of the attack, was entangled by the black Qi and scared until his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. He struggled repeatedly and begged for mercy: "I am Yun Ling! I am the Elder who helped you stabilize the Sect!"

"Old Sect Master, show grace! We are willing to die serving you, please let us go!" The other Elders were also caught by the black Qi, crying out with pale faces, their former prestige utterly gone.

However, Yun Shan's mind had long been consumed by the desire for survival. Ignoring their cries, the black Qi abruptly tightened, forcibly tearing at their Souls.

"Ah—!"

Agonizing screams echoed across the square. The Souls of Yun Ling and the others were forcibly dragged out of their bodies, transforming into several pale white light clusters, which Yun Shan grabbed immediately.

"Seeking death!" Jiang Luo's eyes narrowed. He shouted a sharp warning, and a Dou Qi Ribbon shot toward Yun Shan.

Yun Shan was struck by the Dou Qi Ribbon and let out a miserable cry, yet he even more frantically stuffed the struggling Souls into his mouth. His Aura actually began to recover... Jiang Luo frowned, clearly not having expected that, in order to survive, Yun Shan could be so vicious as to lay such a poisonous hand on his own Elders.

"Hahaha, Jiang Luo, once I recover, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Yun Shan laughed wildly, having devoured several more Souls. His Aura had already returned to the five-star level of Dou Zong.

Protector Wu took the opportunity to catch his breath, and his black Dou Qi re-condensed: "Brat, let's see how you handle this now!"

Two against one, the advantage is mine!
