Chapter 420: Bone Chilling Fme!

  “Haha! I never expected the once-famous Medie Vee, Yao , to be hiding in a pce like this!”

  The shadow cackled wildly, his gaze full of greed as he stared at "Xiao Yan."

  “A mere Dou Aor dares to spout such arrogan front of me? If this were ba the day, I could’ve crushed you with a single finger. Now that you’ve discovered my presence, don’t think for a sed you’ll leave here alive!”

  "Xiao Yan" wiped the blood from the er of his mouth and spoke in a raspy voice. In his heart, a murderous ioward the Soul Hall Protector had already formed. If this Protector were allowed to escape, he and Yao Lao would fadless pursuit by the Soul Hall.

  As "Xiao Yan" finished his words, a phantom-like elderly figure appeared in front of him, radiating an overwhelming aura that was no weaker than the shadow’s.

  The moment the elder appeared, the pale white in Xiao Yan's pupils vanished, and his eyes returo normal.

  “Teacher!”

  “This is the first time in all these years that you’ve revealed your soul form to anyone besides me. It seems today’s situation is no ordinary trouble...” Xiao Ya a twinge of ay as he watched Yao Lao materialize from his body.

  “Jie! Jie! Ba the day, you were indeed someoo look up to. Many Vee met their end at your hands. But now, your strength has fallen to this level, and you’re merely a soul body. Our Soul Hall has plenty of methods to deal with soul forms like yours. Capturing you today would surely bring great joy to the Hall Master.”

  The shadow’s eerie ughter echoed across the sky like the g of a crow.

  Without further dey, the shadow extended his hand, summoning a pitch-bck that slithered from his palm with a king sound. The , coiling like a venomous snake, hovered ominously at his side.

  The trembled slightly before the shadow gave a sharp flick of his arm. Instantly, the tore through the sky like a bck streak, shooting straight toward Yao Lao’s soul form.

  Seeing the shadow attack, Yao Lao’s expression turned icy. The pale white fme in his palm flickered intensely as he darted forward to meet the assault.

  “Hiss!”

  The bck , like a venomous serpent, pierced through the air, transf into a blurry streak as it shot toward Yao Lao.

  The tip of the was unnervingly sharp, inscribed with intricate runes and spiral patterns. Uhe shadow’s energy manipution, the emanated a chilling and menag aura. Clearly, this was no ordinary on.

  Yao Lao dared not take the ining lightly. The Soul Hall’s methods were known to cause devastating harm to soul bodies. However, with the Bone Chilling Fme proteg him, Yao Lao wasirely defenseless.

  The pale white fme surged in Yao Lao’s palm before it transformed into a fming arrow and shot forward to csh with the .

  “Boom!”

  The collision of the two forces produced a low, muted sound, without the explosive energy typical of such frontations. A rippling shockwave of bd pale white energies silently spread outward, dist the surrounding space slightly as it expanded.

  When the bck met the fming arrow, the shadow quickly realized the attack didn’t achieve the same results as before. Yao Lao stood his ground, not retreating even a step. Moreover, an unusual temperature—an overpping mix of icy cold and seariraveled along the , momentarily disrupting the shadow’s Dou Qi.

  “The Bone Chilling Fme truly is formidable. No wonder you mao escape the Soul Hall’s pursuit ba the day!”

  The recoiled and coiled back around the shadow, who now fixed his gaze ily on Yao , a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

  Ordinary soul bodies, no matter how powerful, would see their strength signifitly reduced when fag the Soul Hall’s specialized hunters. Their ons were -desigo ter soul forms. However, such termeasures were much less effective against soul bodies protected by Heavenly Fmes or other rare araordinary natural treasures.

  For a brief moment, the battlefield fell into a tense and ominous silence. Both sides prepared for their moves, knowing that the battle was far from over.

  As Yao Lao had stated, his ability to escape the Soul Hall’s pursuit ba the day was ihanks to the power of the Bone Chilling Fme.

  Earlier, his retreat while aiding Xiao Yan wasn’t due to being outmatched by the shadowy Protector but because Xiao Yan’s body was far tile to endure sutense bat. Now, with Yao Lao maing his true soul form, there were no longer such straints.

  Fixing his gaze on the Soul Hall Protector, whose body was cloaked in swirling bck mist, Yao Lao’s hand slowly ched. The pale white fmes rapidly densed in his palm, and moments ter, they coalesced into a white ruler slightly smaller than Xiao Yan’s Heavy Xuan Ruler. Though the ruler’s surface was wreathed in fmes, it gave off a chillingly cold visual impression.

  “Your Soul Hall’s methods for suppressing soul bodies don’t work well on me. So, show me your true strength, or stay here food,” Yao Lao said coldly, pointing the white ruler at the shadow.

  Sensing that Yao Lao’s aura was not weaker than his own, the shadow hesitated and said, “Yao , now that I’ve found you, there’s no need for me to fight to the death. The Soul Hall has people everywhere on this ti—you’ll soon find yourself with o run!”

  With those words, the shadow ceased his attacks on Yao Lao areated to a safer distance.

  However, just as the shadow moved back, Yao Lao advanced, swiftly striking toward the shadow with the white ruler in hand.

  At that moment, an immense and overwhelming aura suddeed from the far edge of the pin.

  “What is that?!”

  “What a terrifying presence!”

  Both Yao Lao and the Soul Hall Protector froze mid-a, their expressions ging drastically as they turheir horrified gazes toward the same spot in the sky.

  In the distance, a colossal bck floon sloeared on the horizon.

  “There’s such a powerful demo here?”

  “This aura feels strangely familiar...” Yao Lao murmured, his eyes narrowing.

  As the bck floon drew closer, the oppressive aura it emanated bhe area. Those on the ground—whether they were fleeing, , or already paralyzed with fear due to the Soul Hall Protector—felt as if they were being crushed under a massive mountain, struggling to breathe.

  Even Xiao Yan, who had been watg from the sidelines, wasn’t spared. Uhe immense pressure of the floon’s aura, his heart pounded so violently that it felt like it might leap out of his chest.

  “Roar!”

  The massive beast abruptly came to a halt, h steadily a thousaers above the pin.

  “That ominous bck mist hasn’t left yet, and now such a monstrous beast has arrived. We’re doomed!” someone from the caravan muttered in despair, their voice trembling.
