Blood sprayed as Xiao Yan showed no mercy whatsoever. Since Mo Cheng dared to lay a hand on his people, he would absolutely not let him off.
Even his two elder brothers might have suffered calamity if he had not returned in time.
Xiao Yan pulled out the eight bone spikes from Mo Cheng's back one by one. It's worth noting that these bone spikes were connected to Mo Cheng's ribs, essentially becoming part of his own skeleton. What Xiao Yan was doing now was equivalent to ripping out his ribs!
"Ah ah!!"
Xiao Yan's ruthlessness thoroughly shocked everyone present. Some people with weaker stomachs even began to vomit uncontrollably.
Thud! Xiao Yan stomped viciously on Mo Cheng's back, his eyes sharp and filled with murderous intent. He asked in a deep, menacing voice, "My patience is wearing thin. Where is Qing Lin?"
Crack! The sound of breaking bones rang out as he slowly applied pressure. Another anguished scream pierced the air as the unceasing sound of shattering bones resounded once more beneath his foot.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Mo Cheng's face was pressed against the ground, filled with anger and resentment.
At the very least, Mo Cheng was still strong in his stubbornness.
Mo Lan, the head of the Mo Clan, was horrified. What on earth had Mo Cheng brought back two days ago to provoke such a monster! Mo Cheng, the strongest in the Mo Clan, was now being trampled underfoot!
Was this really the Dou Grandmaster he knew? Since when did Dou Grandmasters possess such strength!
Mo Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir! Please show mercy. I'll bring the person over right away. Please calm your anger!"
"Mo Lan, stop right there! Who gave you permission to release anyone?! Do you have any idea what that girl..." Mo Cheng twisted his head and suddenly raised it to shout angrily.
However, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly before he could finish speaking. A drop of Ten Thousand Beast Flame fell from his hand, instantly turning Mo Cheng's leg into blackened charcoal with a loud whoosh. The sound of his agonized screams and the smell of burnt flesh spread throughout the hall.
Ge Ye hurriedly intervened when she saw that Xiao Yan was about to burn Mo Cheng to death, "Brother Xiao Yan, please show mercy! Spare Mo Cheng's life for the sake of the Misty Cloud Sect!"
Mo Cheng revealed bloodstained teeth as he stared at Xiao Yan fearlessly, "Do you dare to kill me in front of all the leaders of the various factions from the Northeastern Province? The Misty Cloud Sect will surely not let you off!"
Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment. Mo Cheng immediately gained courage upon seeing his silence, assuming he was afraid of the Misty Cloud Sect's retaliation.
What no one noticed was that Hai Bodong had quietly disappeared from the scene a short while ago.
Moments before, when Mo Lan had secretly sent someone to the secret chamber, Hai Bodong had followed that person to rescue the captive.
"Found her." A smile gradually appeared on Xiao Yan's face when he heard Hai Bodong's voice transmission.
He lowered his head to look at Mo Cheng under his foot and slowly said, "First, as I already said, the Misty Cloud Sect doesn't have the qualification to threaten me in my eyes. I fear their retaliation even less."
Xiao Yan was naturally full of confidence. After all, he now possessed the soul body of a 7th-tier alchemist! Just the value of this soul body alone was enough to earn him many soul points, enough to request the aid of an elite Dou Ancestor from the Hall of Souls.
The Misty Cloud Sect, who didn't even have a single Dou Ancestor, had no qualifications to threaten him.
"Second, the moment you abducted Qing Lin and sent people to attack my two elder brothers, your life was already recorded in the Book of Life and Death held by the King of Hell. No one can save you now."
"You want to kill me? Keep dreaming!!" Mo Cheng roared angrily upon hearing Xiao Yan's declaration of his imminent death.
He curled up his body and suddenly thrust out his unmutated left arm. A fierce burst of hidden force shattered his sleeve, exposing the arm to the air. The blood vessels on it bulged like countless tiny snakes.
That hand suddenly widened in a grotesque manner. His originally normal fingernails grew half an inch longer as they turned an eerie, pitch-black color.
The entire arm turned a fiery red in a matter of moments, resembling a flaming arm at a glance.
"Breaking Mountain Arm? The First Elder actually transplanted the forelimb of the Rank 5 Fiery Breaking Mountain Rhinoceros into his own body?" The core members of the Mo Clan couldn't help but exclaim in shock as they saw Mo Cheng's arm grow extraordinarily wide.
This was Mo Cheng's trump card. He had been enduring all this time, waiting for Xiao Yan to let his guard down before dealing a fatal blow!
"Hahaha, die!" The flaming arm attacked Xiao Yan's face in a twisted arc.
However, in the next second, the previously ferocious Breaking Mountain Arm suddenly went limp. Mo Cheng's fierce expression faded, his eyes lost focus, and he died with his eyes wide open.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his foot without even sparing Mo Cheng a glance.
Absolute Spiritual Strength was his true hidden trump card!
Not only was he born with extraordinary Spiritual Strength, he now possessed Late Mortal State Spiritual Strength. His Soul Skill was an unbeatable move that could kill without a trace.
Even Queen Medusa, at the peak of the Dou Emperor stage, could hardly withstand his Soul Impact. Had he not needed to question Mo Cheng about Qing Lin's whereabouts, a single Soul Impact would have been enough to scatter his soul.
"Even if you have a truly undying body, your soul is not, right?" Xiao Yan muttered softly.
The hall fell into a deadly silence as everyone stared at Mo Cheng's lifeless body sprawled on the bright red carpet. No one could understand how he had died.
Only Nalan Yanran seemed to catch a glimpse of what had happened.
'Was that... Spiritual Strength?'
Even Ge Ye was clueless, but Nalan Yanran, though not an alchemist, had a natural sensitivity to Spiritual Strength.
When Xiao Yan had executed his Soul Skill, she had sensed the use of Spiritual Strength!
However, because Soul Skills had been lost to time, she didn't know what it was.
Although Xiao Yan wore a warm, sunny smile on his face, everyone who met his gaze immediately turned pale and shrank back in fear. Their frightened eyes darted around aimlessly, not daring to make eye contact with him.
Only Nalan Yanran dared to look at him directly.
She clenched her jade-like hands tightly as she watched the young man who had single-handedly turned the entire Mo Clan upside down. Her pretty face turned slightly pale as she stared at the slowly approaching young man.
Only three months left! She had already been defeated by him three years ago. Could it be that three years later, she was still just as powerless?
No one could have imagined that the First Elder of the Mo Clan, who had been making grand plans just an hour ago, would now meet his end right in front of the Little Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. The stark contrast between these two very different scenes left people in a state of disbelief.
Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to welcome Qing Lin, suddenly, an unusual feeling welled up in his heart.
He abruptly turned his head toward the outside of the hall.
Boom!!! An earth-shattering explosion echoed from not far away. A massive ice wall appeared, only to be shattered shortly after!!!
Hai Bodong had actually come under attack!!!
The sudden turn of events left everyone in the hall, including Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, stunned for a moment.
Someone actually dared to attack a Dou Emperor??!!
Xiao Yan's face darkened. The Eagle Wings instantly unfurled as he explosively shot toward Hai Bodong's direction.
