"Plup!"
Queen Medusa's vacant gaze cleared, and without hesitation, she pierced Han Feng's heart with the snake-shaped longsword in her hand. His soul shattered, his body pierced through; Han Feng was now dead beyond death!
"Young Master!!"
Han Feng's death tore his subordinates apart. They couldn't comprehend why Han Feng, who was clearly about to strike back with the Secret Technique, and almost kill Queen Medusa, was suddenly killed in an instant.
"This guy, really followed through, killed Han Feng himself?"
"Such terrifying Soul Power, even stronger than Han Feng's Sixth Grade Alchemist!"
Hai Bo Dong and others cast astonished looks, a trace of awe involuntarily appearing on their faces.
Yun Tianming, officially only a Dou Grandmaster, could actually kill an 8-Star Dou Emperor expert. Crossing three major levels, if not seen with their own eyes, it's really hard to believe that this was achieved by such a young teenager.
"Cut the grass and remove the roots, don't let anyone escape."
Yun Tianming issued the order expressionlessly.
These people in front of them were all Han Feng's trusted subordinates and must be annihilated!
"Hmph~ Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Queen Medusa raised an eyebrow. With her proud personality, she was not used to obeying others' orders. However, out of recognition for Yun Tianming's strength, she decided to obey once: "Well, I'll go along with you this time."
With Queen Medusa joining the battle, the situation quickly turned overwhelmingly in their favor.
In less than ten minutes, the three Dou Emperors and five Dou Kings under Han Feng were all killed!
Yun Tianming skillfully looted the Spatial Rings from Han Feng and others, then extracted a semi-transparent soul body from Han Feng's corpse, which also contained a deep blue flame.
This was the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth on the Heavenly Flame list!
Yun Tianming's face showed ecstatic joy, thinking to himself: In today's battle, the spoils are much more abundant than ever before!
"Huh? It seems that other strong figures from the Black-Corner Region have noticed the situation here."
"A Dou Ancestor expert is coming! Let's retreat first!"
Yun Tianming's Soul Perception sensed several strong auras rapidly approaching Feng City from over a hundred kilometers away. He waved his hand, releasing a bunch of purple-black flames, burning Han Feng and the others' corpses to ashes.
"Dou Ancestor expert?!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this, thinking that the Black-Corner Region was indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Not only did it have Sixth Grade Alchemists, but also Dou Ancestor experts reigning over it. No wonder the Black-Corner Region was known as one of the most dangerous places in the northwest region.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~"
After Yun Tianming and his group left.
Over a dozen figures swiftly flew across the sky, all equipped with Dou Qi Wings. Among them, the most eye-catching were two individuals standing in mid-air.
"Mo Tian Xing of the Black Emperor Sect, I never expected to see someone of your caliber here."
"Old Man Yingshan, it's been years since you secluded yourself, and today, your aura is even stronger."
Both of them were top-tier veterans of the Black-Corner Region, inevitably exchanging some banter.
"Elder Qi, have you found anything?"
Mo Tian Xing asked a middle-aged man dressed in Alchemist robes beside him, who happened to be the chief Sixth Grade Alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect.
"The charred body still retains a trace of Heavenly Flame's aura. It seems Han Feng was taken out by someone."
Qi Shan stared at Han Feng's body, scanning it with his Soul Perception, his face revealing a disappointed expression.
The Heavenly Flame, stolen away!
"What?"
"Medicine Emperor Han Feng was actually taken out by someone?"
"Then what about our pills?"
"By the way, why didn't Han Feng send a distress signal when he was in danger?"
In the Black-Corner Region, many factions had good relations with Han Feng, among them were the closest, the Gold and Silver Elders, who possessed peak Dou Emperor strength. Through Secret Techniques, they could briefly contend with Dou Ancestor-level experts.
"There are two possibilities. The first is that the opponent's strength was too strong, and Han Feng didn't have time to send out a Soul Power distress signal."
"The second is that the opponent possesses a powerful Soul Power surpassing that of Han Feng's, and has set up a shielding barrier around, surpassing Han Feng's ability to send out a signal."
Old Man Yingshan squinted his eyes. Regardless of which possibility, it indicated that the attacker was extraordinary.
"It's a pity that Han Feng, after all, was the top Alchemist of the Black-Corner Region."
Mo Tian Xing sighed. His Black Emperor Sect operated the largest auction house in the Black-Corner Region, and the Sixth Grade Pills crafted by Han Feng were even better than those under his subordinate, Qi Shan.
"Heh~ Although Han Feng is known as a disciple of the Medicine Sovereign, the Medicine Sovereign's death was mysterious. Han Feng, on the other hand, came to the Black-Corner Region, definitely with dirty hands and feet."
Qi Shan sneered.
"Can you track down the whereabouts of that person's aura?"
Someone from the Demon Flame Valley asked.
Elder Fang Yan, who possessed the strength of a Half-step Dou Ancestor, shook his head: "No! The attacker is very cunning. They sensed us from afar and erased their aura before leaving."
Upon hearing this, all the major forces expressed regret. They didn't rush here out of goodwill to save Han Feng, but rather to intercept the attacker's spoils.
"So, shouldn't we claim Feng City for ourselves?"
When a person dies, their light goes out. Even the forces that were once on good terms with Han Feng had their eyes on Han Feng's assets.
...
"Swoosh~"
"Swoosh~"
"Swoosh~"
Yun Tianming and his group hurriedly left, flying all the way out of a small country thousands of miles away from the Black-Corner Region, finally relieved.
"We're lucky this time to have Tianming help us erase our aura. Otherwise, when that Dou Ancestor expert arrived, we wouldn't have been able to escape."
Hai Bo Dong was sweating profusely, looking visibly frightened.
"That's the power of a Dou Ancestor."
Queen Medusa gritted her teeth. Although she wielded the Snake People Tribe's Secret Technique, which could temporarily grant her combat power close to that of a Dou Ancestor, she feared her chances against a genuine Dou Ancestor expert were slim. This further stimulated her determination to evolve with the power of the Heavenly Flame!
"You truly have remarkable methods."
Lu Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor expressed their admiration.
Initially, they were only forced to cooperate with Yun Tianming due to Queen Medusa's formidable strength. However, this time, when they witnessed Yun Tianming using some terrifying soul attack, directly incapacitating Han Feng, they were truly impressed.
If it were them, they wouldn't have been able to withstand Yun Tianming's soul attack either.
"Heh~ It's also thanks to all of you for helping me hold off Han Feng. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to strike."
Yun Tianming smiled lightly. Han Feng, a Sixth Grade Alchemist, had formidable Soul Power, even stronger than Gu He's by a few points. Without the distraction caused by Medusa, he wouldn't have been completely confident in taking out Han Feng with a single strike.
"Alright, there's no need for polite words."
"Now, let's divide the spoils!"
