617. The Chaos of Danta
No matter how much the Spirit Clan had sacrificed for him, no matter how bright his future had been, no matter how much ambition Ling Zhuo had, he was now just like any other member of the Spirit Clan, dying in the darkness of the Spirit Clan's fierce attack on the Pill Tower.
Even his original strange fire, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, was now under the control of Qing Lin.
Everyone in the Spirit Clan witnessed Ling Zhuo's death at Qing Lin's hands, and Ling Zhuo's death led to the complete collapse of this Spirit Clan squad.
Even though they were all powerful Dou Zun, and even though they were not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the genuine fear from the bottom of their hearts completely terrified these Spirit Race people who had been indulging in peaceful and tranquil lives for countless years.
Some players' previously skillful maneuvers were instantly thrown into disarray, and they were killed by Lei Jingxiao's spear thrust, who was brimming with fighting spirit. Others tried to abandon the battle and leave immediately, but they were caught and killed by Wei Jiangyuan, who possessed a Heaven-rank movement technique, before they could go far.
The only ones who truly fought to the death without retreating were the remaining two Spirit Guards of the Spirit Clan who were responsible for engaging Xiao Yan. However, given the huge disparity in strength at this moment, no matter how much they struggled, it was difficult to achieve any further results.
In the end, one of the two charged straight at Xiao Yan, using his body to block him, but was ultimately pierced through the heart by the black flames and then completely devoured.
Spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of another Spirit Guard's silver-black armor. The power of spiritual fusion, carrying the origin of the soul, surged backward in the meridians, spewing out scorching blood mist from the gaps in the armor.
"He's about to self-destruct, everyone be careful!"
"Ling Gu, don't forget what you said before!" Ling Wei roared with all his might before he died.
Witnessing the spirit guard's self-destruction, Xiao Yan felt a surge of respect for his enemy. They clearly understood that their bodies would eventually be devoured by the Void Devouring Flame, so they preferred to self-destruct rather than die at Xiao Yan's hands.
His dying words did indeed have an effect. The Spirit Clan's Nine-Star Dou Zun, who was putting up a desperate resistance, was moved upon hearing this, and then struck down the Five-Star Dou Zun beside him with a single move. As a Nine-Star Dou Zun, he had already realized that Xiao Yan and his group intended to capture this person alive.
His body then expanded rapidly, all his power began to boil, a torrent of power erupted within him, and a huge impact surged out.
The self-destruction of a nine-star Dou Zun level expert caused everyone's expression to change instinctively. Qing Lin, being the strongest, immediately used her Nine Netherworld Frost Breath to condense an ice shield to protect everyone behind her. On the other side, Venerable Ming Shui also took action to begin defense.
Amidst this intense impact, the black flames quickly drained the last spirit guard's life essence before surging back into Xiao Yan's body. Xiao Yan then easily suppressed it back into his right hand, thus ensuring that the last spirit guard's life essence was entirely consumed by the black flames.
The impact of the self-destruction caused the walls of the Dan Tower to emit a low hum, and the supporting pillars of the Dan Tower were torn apart by the surging energy ripples.
However, the rudimentary form of the Dan Tower was still preserved despite such an impact, which makes one marvel at the stability of the Dan Tower at its inception.
After the two self-destructed, Xiao Yan and his group regrouped. Tang Zhen and Kang Ning were both somewhat shocked by what they saw. They were all Dou Zun, so why was Xiao Yan's group so incredibly powerful? Not only did each of them possess the strength to kill a Dou Zun in a short time, but Xiao Yan could even wipe out a Dou Zun single-handedly as if it were a matter of a flick of his finger.
In the fierce battle that lasted less than half an hour, a total of thirteen Dou Zun of the Spirit Clan died at their hands, including the Spirit Clan's prodigy, Ling Zhuo.
Xiao Yan's success today was due in part to the fact that the Spirit Guards were too vulnerable at the beginning of the battle. In order to use the Void Restriction, their own protection was very limited, so Xiao Yan's thunderous methods were naturally unable to resist them.
In reality, the last two Spirit Guards, whose strength was only five stars, caused Xiao Yan considerable trouble. In the end, he could only kill one of them by relying on the Black Flame and his own various methods.
The situation was tense, so after a quick cleanup, everyone regrouped. Xiao Yan thanked Tang Zhen, who had come to help, saying, "Valley Master Tang, thank you for today's help."
If Tang Zhen, Kang Ning, and the other two hadn't arrived in time, Little Fairy Doctor alone wouldn't have been able to stop all the Dou Zun of the Spirit Clan.
"Young friend Xiao Yan, what are you saying? Do you insist that I thank you for protecting Huo'er's safety?"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they quickly got down to business.
"The three of you, what exactly happened at the Pill Tower?" Xiao Yan asked.
From the moment they noticed the strange activity within the Pill Tower, they were embroiled in a fierce battle with Ling Zhuo and his group. They knew nothing of what was happening inside the Pill Tower, and their current understanding was limited to speculation: the Spirit Race had launched a forceful attack on it.
Upon hearing this, Kang Ning also took the initiative to explain, "I don't know. At first, we only noticed the movement of the Pill Tower, and then we realized that a very fierce battle had broken out inside the tower. The Pill Tower is now in complete chaos. We have no idea how many Spirit Clan experts have rushed in. I was just escorting Old Tang here."
"Judging from their actions, the Spirit Clan has completely broken ties with the Pill Tower," Little Fairy Doctor analyzed.
"But what exactly does the Spirit Race want? They're just rushing in and killing people like this. Even if the Pill Tower resists, do you think they can keep it a secret from the entire Central Continent?"
"I don't know. There's too little information available right now, and the Spirit Race has even decided to fight to the death rather than surrender. We simply can't guess what's going on at this point."
"So what do we do now?" Lei Jingxiao asked, holding his golden spear. "Should we go to the top of the tower, or leave first?"
"Judging from Ling Zhuo's performance, the power mobilized by the Spirit Clan this time may be far greater than we imagined. Continuing to the top of the tower will definitely be dangerous. If we leave first, we can get a clearer picture of the situation," Little Fairy Doctor replied immediately.
"We absolutely can't just leave, President Xuan Yi is still at the top of the tower!" Wei Jiangyuan glanced at Yao Qingyu and offered his opinion on her behalf.
Most of the attention then turned to Xiao Yan, since the best performers in the previous battle were Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, who had broken the spatial restriction. Although Qing Lin had a formidable record, she always obeyed Xiao Yan without question. Therefore, Xiao Yan's decision meant a lot!
As Xiao Yan sensed the constant movements, near and far, occurring within the Pill Tower, his mind calmed down.
"The Dan Tower is extremely dangerous right now, we must leave first. We don't know how many Spirit Clan members have arrived, so we must all act together as much as possible and break out together."
