Chapter 155: Fierce Formation, Heart Flame Destroys the Soul

When the guardians Wu and Sun saw Yao Lao, Lin Yuan and Medusa stop, their faces immediately lit up with joy.

Their main targets were Yao Lao and Lin Yuan, two extremely high-quality souls. As for Ling Ying and Xiao Yan, a Dou Huang and a Great Dou Master, they were insignificant to them, just two extras.

Faced with the blue fire bombs, white fire cones and colorful sword energy coming from the front, the two of them released several chains from their palms and fought back.

Two pitch-black chains moved in the air in a tricky trajectory, dispersing and defeating the flaming bombs, fire cones and sword energy one by one.

At the same time, Guardians Wu and Sun rushed towards Lin Yuan and the other two without slowing down at all.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the responses of the two protectors and assessing the degree of tacit cooperation between them.

"In the process of breaking the moves just now, they had redundant attacks against several targets. It seems that although the Soul Palace guardians have similar skills, they fight on their own. At least, the two of them are not the type to cooperate well, so this is good."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Two enemies who cooperated well with each other were much more difficult to deal with than two enemies fighting alone.

As far as Lin Yuan knows, the most typical case is the two elders, Jin and Yin, from the Black Horn Region.

The two were twin brothers, and their cultivation methods were exactly the same. Under this circumstance, two Douhuang peaks were able to deal with a Douzong like Su Qian with their special cultivation methods and tacit cooperation.

While he was thinking, the two protectors Wu and Sun had already caught up with Lin Yuan and the other two in the valley.

The two were surrounded by black mist, and the guardian Wu even let out a sinister laugh.

"Hehehe, Yao Chen, you dare to stop, are you trying to protect your useless disciple? God is really helping me! This time, this guardian will never let you escape again. If I capture you today, I'm sure the Palace Master will be very happy."

Yao Lao stared at the guardian Wu coldly, with a hint of anger and murderous intent in his voice.

"You are a bunch of rats in the gutter. You used that beast Han Feng to attack me. I will get back at you sooner or later. Today, I will collect some interest! Get ready to die, my little Soul Palace guardian."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Lao opened the Shengling Pill sealed in his body, and under the refining of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the pure medicinal power was released.

In an instant, Yao Lao's soul power surged, and his strength also increased with the increase of soul power. Soon, it was promoted to the level of four-star Dou Zong, and a majestic aura emanated from him.

"If you want to take my soul, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so. If not, you will die here today."

Looking indifferently at the protector Ao whose body was covered with black mist, Yao Lao slowly clenched his hands, and a dark white flame burst out and condensed in his hands. After a moment, a white ruler slightly smaller than the Xuan Zhong ruler appeared in his hand.

Hearing what Yao Lao said, the guardian Wu smiled coldly, and the black mist surging from his body became thicker and thicker.

"How arrogant! If you had a physical body, this guardian would have avoided you. But now you are just a soul. Hehe, to deal with souls, my Soul Palace has plenty of ways!"

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yuan and Medusa beside Yao Lao, with a trace of greed in his eyes: "Guardian Sun, don't hesitate! If we can capture the souls of these people today, we can not only make up for our losses, but also gain unimaginable benefits."

"Not to mention the souls of the two alchemists, just offering their strange fire to the elders in the temple is enough for you and me to make progress."

Guardian Sun nodded, glanced at Yao Lao and Lin Yuan, and recalled the previous fight. "It is difficult to use conventional methods to deal with these two. It seems that we have to use some special methods, even if it costs some money."

After settling down his thoughts, a fierce look flashed across Guardian Sun's eyes, and he laughed coldly, "Hehehe, Guardian Wu, let's work together to form the Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Spirit Formation."

Hearing this, a sly look flashed across the eyes of the guardian Wu, and he replied, "That's exactly what I want."

After saying that, overwhelming black fog surged out from their bodies, and then like a black cloud, it instantly covered the entire valley where Lin Yuan and the others were.

Dark clouds that blocked out the sun hovered over the valley. The clear sky turned dark almost in an instant. The strange black fog made it seem that even the sunlight could hardly penetrate.

In the darkness, two swirling black mist-like objects rose up, releasing strange rays of light.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized this thing. It was a soul bag.

Then, a series of illusory souls with red eyes burst out from the soul bag, emitting creepy screams, and the whole valley was filled with a weird and terrifying atmosphere.

Suddenly, the cold and angry voice of the Dharma Protector Sun sounded: "Dharma Protector Wu, how come you have only released this little bit of soul?"

"I can't help it. When I was carrying out the mission in the palace before, I encountered a strong enemy and lost too many souls. Now that things have come to this, there is no way to regret. Guardian Sun, use all your strength. It would be a loss if Yao Chen really escapes this time."

"Is this why you invited me here? Guardian Wu, you bastard, you actually plotted against me!"

As he spoke, there was a hint of anger in Protector Sun's voice.

Casting the Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Formation consumes a lot of souls, and even the people in the Soul Palace rarely use this formation. Because after casting it, if they fail to get a return equal to the value of the souls consumed, they will be severely punished by the Soul Palace, and that punishment... he absolutely does not want to accept it.

Dharma Protector Sun had originally intended to share the cost of this formation with Dharma Protector Wu, but he ended up being outwitted by this guy.

With a cold snort, Sun said in a cold voice: "In this case, it is obvious that this time I have contributed more. I will take an extra 20% of the harvest from the final operation."

Upon hearing this, a hint of hidden ferocity flashed across Wu's eyes, and he said indifferently, "We'll discuss these matters after we get rid of them."

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly. Although he felt a little distressed, Guardian Sun did not stop the action of setting up the Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Array. Soon, he released almost all the souls he had collected and completed the Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Array.

After the formation was formed, looking at the countless souls rushing out, the two guardians looked grimly at the three people surrounded by the formation.

Dharma Protector Sun's eyes fell on Lin Yuan and Yao Lao, and he grinned, "Haha, Yao Chen and that slippery boy, this Dharma Protector has collected souls for several years to put together this formation. Today, you will enjoy a good taste."

Yao Lao narrowed his eyes and looked solemnly at the spreading black clouds in the sky.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see the many souls hidden in the black fog. Seeing such a dense number, even he took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed a deep disgust.

"You are a bunch of Soul Palace lackeys. Your methods are really disgusting. Soul Palace is truly a cancer on the Douqi Continent."

“Hehehe,” Guardian Sun sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a stream of bright red blood was sprinkled into the black cloud. “You are not qualified to judge my Soul Palace. Just offer your soul to this Guardian honestly! Blood Feed!”

As the blood spilled, the black cloud suddenly turned a strange dark red color, and shrill screams were heard from it.

After a moment, the black cloud suddenly paused and fell silent for a moment, and then countless ferocious bloody souls poured down like a rainstorm, rushing towards Lin Yuan and the other two ferociously and madly. Lin Yuan waved his hand, and suddenly a lotus-shaped green sea of ​​fire quickly spread out with him as the center, like a blooming green lotus blooming in the darkness.

"Blue fire burns the sky!"

With a clear shout, the lotus-shaped green sea of ​​fire released a captivating temperature. The illusory bodies of all the blood-colored souls that approached the flames were immediately ignited, and shrill screams rang out one after another.

Queen Medusa also wielded rainbow sword beams, clearing out the surging bloody souls with extremely high efficiency.

Although these blood souls are huge in number, they are not enough to deal with strong people like Lin Yuan and Medusa, and cannot pose any threat.

However, these slain souls did not completely dissipate, but turned into wisps of gray gas that rose up and eventually merged into the black cloud. This made the energy pressure in the cloud layer even stronger, as if some terrifying existence was about to be born.

Upon seeing this, Protector Sun raised a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Yao Lao frowned and stared at the increasingly dark clouds with a serious expression.

With his rich knowledge and keen perception, he sensed the fierce energy contained in the clouds and understood the severity of the situation. He thought to himself, "This is trouble. The Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Array is trying to gather fierce souls."

"Kill two birds with one stone. Can we use these souls to consume us, and then use them to gather evil spirits after we kill them?"

Lin Yuan's face remained expressionless, but his eyes showed a hint of curiosity and inquiry. "Sure enough, compared to the Soul Envoys, the methods of the Guardians are much more interesting."

At this time, Yao Lao's voice sounded at the side: "Tianshu boy, there is some trouble. This is the Soul Palace's Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Array. It is useless to kill these souls. They will turn into pure nutrients to condense the evil soul in the cloud."

"Once the evil spirit takes shape, it will directly connect with the soul of the guardian Sun. Not only will its strength be comparable to his, but it will also cooperate well with him and will be very difficult to deal with."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I know something about this Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Array. I have just tried it and it is indeed as the senior said. It seems that the only way to break this array is to kill Sun, the guardian who is the core of the array, or to get rid of the evil spirit before it is formed."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan's eyes were fixed on the location of Protector Sun.

However, Protector Sun seemed to have sensed his intention, and he disappeared into the black cloud in a flash. Amidst the mixture of countless souls, his breath became extremely elusive.

After using the Ten Thousand Souls Devouring Formation, Protector Sun now focuses on a steady approach, stalling for time to wait for the evil spirit to take shape, while delaying the effectiveness of Yao Lao and Lin Yuan's elixirs, doing everything possible to increase his chances of winning.

As time goes by, our advantage will become greater and greater.

The guardian Wu did not take the initiative to attack, but maintained a defensive posture, flew into the black cloud, and waited for the opportunity to come.

Queen Medusa frowned when she saw this. "What should we do now? They are avoiding fighting. If we want to attack them, we must kill these souls first. But killing these bloody souls will help the evil spirits to take shape."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled faintly and said calmly: "Don't worry, since it's me, there are other ways. I will deal with it, and you will protect me."

After saying that, Lin Yuan formed a mysterious seal with his hands, and said, "Heart Fire Seal, released." Immediately, a "click" sound was heard, and the seal shattered inside Lin Yuan's body, and a hot breath that was completely different from the Green Lotus Heart Fire emanated from it.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely agile invisible flame leaped out from Lin Yuan's body and landed on Lin Yuan's fingertips - it was the Fallen Heart Flame.

Upon seeing this, Yao Lao's face suddenly showed an expression of uncontrollable surprise, "Strange Fire? Tianshu boy, you actually have two kinds of Strange Fire? No, how do you contain two kinds of Strange Fire in one body?"

"It's not two kinds of strange fire, but one strange fire and a seed fire." Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and simply corrected Yao Lao's statement, "If Senior Yao is interested in this matter, we can discuss it later. Now, let's solve the problem at hand first."

"The Fallen Heart Flame has the power to destroy souls. Although the one in my hand is not the real one, it should be enough to completely destroy the soul and break this formation."

As he spoke, he looked at the Fallen Heart Flame at his fingertips, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

After Lin Yuan fed it with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and Azure Fire Dou Qi for several months, the Fallen Heart Flame Sub-Fire had become much stronger than when it was first born. Although it was still a long way from its original form, it was more than enough to fight the enemy.

This fire was created by Lin Yuan himself, and he also fed it with his own hands. Even its spirituality came from Lin Yuan, so there was no obstacle for Lin Yuan to manipulate it.

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, and he injected his fighting spirit and soul power into the heart fire. At the same time, he drew a trace of dragon energy from his natal blood pill and merged it into it.

Then, Lin Yuan changed his handprints, and the invisible flames quickly surged, transforming into a transparent dragon-shaped fire spirit that was more than ten feet long. The moment the dragon-shaped fire spirit took shape, the fire dragon opened its mouth, and an invisible wave burst out from the dragon's mouth, accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar.

"Eight Sounds of Heavenly Dragon·Variation·Soul-Destroying Shock."

The mysterious invisible fluctuations of the Fallen Heart Flame spread along with the dragon's roar, and any blood-colored soul affected by this invisible fluctuation had almost no ability to resist. They exploded with a "bang" and turned into nothingness.

This attack wiped out hundreds of blood souls at once, turning them into pure nothingness, but not a single bit of soul power flew into the black cloud to condense evil spirits.

"Eight Sounds of Heavenly Dragon·Variation·Soul-Destroying Shock."

After the first attack, Lin Yuan did not stop. The seals on his hands changed, and the dragon-shaped fire spirit chanted again. Hundreds of blood souls that approached were turned into nothingness again.

When Yao Lao saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and emotional.

"Tianshu's fire control skills are quite good, not inferior to most seventh-grade alchemists. Moreover, using the sonic fighting technique to manipulate the soul-destroying properties of the Fallen Heart Flame is really a good idea and a good fighting technique."

On the other side, as the dragon-shaped fire spirit slaughtered wantonly, the blood-colored souls in the sky also became restless, and the momentum of the attack was no longer as fierce as before. And the dark clouds with a hint of dark red began to churn violently.

Guardian Sun roared with a mixture of astonishment: "Fallen Heart Flame? Damn it, boy, you actually have such a thing, and you can control it to such an extent! You have caused this Guardian to lose so many souls, die."

Before he finished his words, four pitch-black chains burst down from the sky and attacked the dragon-shaped fire spirit behind Lin Yuan.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's face remained calm, and he methodically controlled the dragon-shaped fire spirit to destroy the soul again.

Yao Lao and Queen Medusa took a step forward, releasing their ruler-like and sword energy, knocking all the chains that were coming towards them back.

After hundreds of blood souls completely dissipated, Lin Yuan looked at the black fog above, smiled indifferently, and said playfully: "Sun Protector, remember what I said before? My best skill is not physical skills, I am better at dealing with souls."

Before he finished speaking, another shocking dragon roar was heard, and an invisible soul-destroying wave accompanied the dragon roar and attacked the black cloud.
