Chapter 246: Dou Zun Power, Spatial Strangulation
The person in front of Xiao Ze was an elder of the Hall of Souls, and the meaning of his name in the elder's mouth couldn't be clearer.
Xiao Ze was already sure that this action from the Hall of Souls was specifically targeted against him.
The Hall of Souls came prepared; they obviously knew he was near the Southern Mountains.
The only people who knew Xiao Ze's whereabouts were a few elders.
It seems that Song Qing had indeed betrayed the Pill Tower and allied with the Hall of Souls.
Remembering Song Qing's behavior in the original story, Xiao Ze wasn't surprised.
Faced with Mu Gu's death threat, Song Qing easily abandoned the person he loved, Cao Ying, and fled.
Song Qing loved beauty, but he loved his life more.
However, Xiao Ze's expression darkened a bit. Although he wasn't surprised, being schemed against didn't feel good.
"I suppose you're the famous elder of the Hall of Souls, right? I'm just a little Dou Zong, how come such a respected elder has personally come for me?"
Xiao Ze's thoughts raced through his mind, and then he smiled and spoke.
"Hehe, the soul of an alchemist master is enough for me to act," said the purple-robed elder, relieved to see that Xiao Ze wasn't accompanied by other powerful guardians.
To the elder, Xiao Ze represented a great future merit, so he didn't mind chatting with him a bit.
Besides, the noise here would soon attract the vice-head of the branch. Even if Xiao Ze had some tricks up his sleeve, two powerful Dou Zun together would be too much for him.
"So that's it. It seems that in the future, if I leave the Pill Tower, I will have to ask for the protection of some of their powerful guardians."
"Hehe, there will be no future for you. I will take the power of your original soul," said the purple-robed elder, moving his hand towards Xiao Ze.
The space around them seemed to distort. Powerful Dou Zun who controlled the power of space could cause immense destruction.
Before the elder acted, Xiao Ze's body was already covered in a silver lightning, moving unpredictably.
In the next instant, the place where Xiao Ze had been was torn apart by a black spatial rift, releasing a destructive energy that devoured everything in its path.
"Three Thousand Thunders from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion? No, it seems like a similar technique," murmured the elder, surprised to see Xiao Ze dodge so easily. Seeing the silver lightning, he thought of the famous technique from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but as a Dou Zun, he could notice the differences.
Xiao Ze looked at the place where he had been. The spatial rift devoured everything, leaving a deep fissure in the ground. An ordinary Dou Zong wouldn't have survived.
That was the power of Dou Zun, whose control of space gave them a decisive advantage against lower ranks.
However, Xiao Ze wasn't that threatened. His own lightning-based speed technique allowed him to dodge effectively.
The purple-robed elder, with vast combat experience, realized that his technique wasn't fast enough to catch Xiao Ze, so he stopped using it.
Dozens of black chains appeared around him, shooting towards Xiao Ze with sharp tips.
The speed of these chains, controlled by a Dou Zun, was even harder to predict and more dangerous than the attacks of the Hall of Souls guards.
Xiao Ze felt a chill on his body; the chains targeted all his vital points, blocking any escape route.
Xiao Ze's energy field, the Sea of Illusions Domain, appeared, covering a hundred meters around him with light blue energy. The closer to him, the darker the energy.
The black chains slowed down as they entered the domain, surprising the elder.
The elder injected his energy into the chains, breaking the domain's suppression, but Xiao Ze had already taken the opportunity to dodge.
The chains pierced the mountain wall, disintegrating it into dust.
The elder, impatient for not having captured Xiao Ze yet, moved towards him while controlling the chains.
As a Dou Zun, his speed was also impressive, and he soon reached Xiao Ze.
"Soul Claw!" shouted the elder, covering his hand with gray mist and extending it towards Xiao Ze.
Where the claw passed, small spatial rifts appeared.
Xiao Ze, aware of the threat, retreated. The Sea of Illusions Domain slowed the elder, allowing Xiao Ze to prepare his technique, the Great Ocean Palm.
A bright blue light appeared on the elder's face, surprising him. Was this technique really from a Dou Zong?
The Soul Claw and the Great Ocean Palm clashed, creating spatial rifts and an explosion of energy that dispersed Xiao Ze's domain.
Xiao Ze was thrown back, impacting against a mountain wall, leaving a large crater.
The elder was also thrown back, stopping in the air with a grim expression.
"The elder admitted to underestimating Xiao Ze. But, what if another Dou Zun is added?" he asked, looking into the distance, where another red-robed elder was rapidly approaching.
