"Bang!"

At this mont, Xiao Yixian had already clashed with the Earth-Splitting Two Fiends.

However, in the very instant they exchanged blows, both of them suddenly felt an overwhelmingly powerful Dou Qi surge toward them like a raging tide.

The next second, the pair was instantly blasted backward over a hundred ters.

"Peak Dou Zong!"

The Earth-Splitting Two Fiends stared at Xiao Yixian with shock and fear creeping into their expressions. The tone of their voices carried a hint of involuntary dread.

The woman before them, appearing to be in her forties, possessed strength far beyond their expectations.

She wasn't the Nine-Star Dou Zong they had guessed earlier—she was at the peak of Dou Zong!

This seemingly small gap was in truth the difference between heaven and earth. Even with the husband-and-wife duo working together, they had no absolute confidence in defeating her.

The male elder then recalled that the valuables seed to be on the other man instead.

He quickly turned his head toward the hunched-back old man and shouted, "Deal with that Four-Star Dou Zong right away and take his storage ring! We'll keep these two occupied here!"

Although that hunchback had invited many strong experts to prevent the possibility of them double-crossing him, as Nine-Star Dou Zongs themselves, they weren't afraid he might try to monopolize everything.

After all, as long as the husband and wife could break free from battle, they could quickly catch up. If that old man dared not hand over their share…

They could naturally make him cough it up.

"Alright!"

At this mont, the hunchbacked elder also sensed sothing unusual and quickly replied.

Then, he called out to the people behind him, "All of us, together! We take him down within one minute!"

"Heh… if there were a Nine-Star Dou Zong among you, I might have so trouble, but with just you lot? You're basically delivering treasures to and adding to my collection."

Lin Feng let out a cold laugh, then took out two fist-sized, fiery red cores from his storage ring.

Given that using Heavenly Flas here might attract the attention of a Dou Zun—and thus wasn't entirely safe—this ti he chose not to use any Heavenly Fla.

Instead, he summoned from within himself the azure Rank 8 beast fla he had obtained from Han Feng.

"Grand Profound Fla Control Array!"

With a sharp cry, a vast azure sea of fire suddenly appeared high in the sky.

As everyone stared in shock, Lin Feng's overwhelming soul force began pulling in all the stray Dou Qi within several hundred ters.

Boom!

When that Dou Qi rged with the Rank 8 beast fla, it imdiately condensed into a massive azure cauldron.

The cauldron enveloped all the Dou Zongs along with the surrounding space. Lin Feng's purpose was simple—keep anyone from escaping. If the group scattered into chaos, chasing them down would be far more troubleso.

"A formation?!"

Seeing the fiery giant cauldron trapping them inside, the low seventh-tier alchemist's brows knitted slightly.

But rembering the many powerful allies he had at his side, his frown quickly vanished.

"Heh, fortunately this old man invited so many experts to guard against the Earth-Splitting Two Fiends' betrayal. Otherwise, this brat might have actually been a problem."

The hunchbacked old man sneered inwardly, then said to the group beside him, "Everyone, make your move."

"Rest assured, Master. With so many of us, dealing with just one mid-level Dou Zong is a sure thing. You just rest here and watch how we take care of this kid."

Hearing his words, the gathered Dou Zongs all cupped their hands and smiled.

"With this many gathered, if they still couldn't kill a mid-level Dou Zong…then they might as well kill themselves to avoid the embarrassnt."

Right after saying that, the five Four-Star Dou Zongs, eager to prove their worth, were the first to charge toward Lin Feng.

"Hmph, courting death!"

Lin Feng sneered, his palm clenching tight.

The two Rank 7 magic cores hovering around him released streams of fiery-red energy, each flowing into his body.

At the sa ti, a faint golden radiance began to glow across the surface of his skin.

A flash of silver lightning streaked across his calves, and his figure at the original spot suddenly beca blurry and illusory.

In the next instant, Lin Feng's real body appeared right in front of one of the Four-Star Dou Zongs.

Bang!

Before that man could even react, Lin Feng's fist, carrying the image of a roaring bear, slamd fiercely into the area of his heart.

Pfft!

A mouthful of shredded internal organs spewed out as the man's body was hurled backward at high speed.

"Three Thousand Lightning Movent!"

The Eight-Star Dou Zong's eyes widened in shock upon seeing the lightning flickering at Lin Feng's feet.

Lin Feng completely ignored the other's words.

In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished again from where he stood.

Another Four-Star Dou Zong t the exact sa fate—struck by a single punch and sent flying backward.

"Quick! Everyone, attack together!"

Realizing Lin Feng's combat strength was far beyond their expectations, the Eight-Star Dou Zong barked the order.

The others quickly snapped out of their daze.

Including the hunchbacked elder, four of them swiftly circulated their Dou Qi and charged straight toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the four and the remaining three Four-Star Dou Zongs. With a light rub of his storage ring, and accompanied by a faint flash of light—a Seven-Star Dou Zong puppet, a Six-Star Dou Zong puppet, and three Five-Star Dou Zong puppets appeared before him.

Five Earth Demon Puppets in total.

"Go!"

At Lin Feng's command, the five Earth Demon Puppets suddenly lifted their heads and shot toward the six people—excluding the Eight-Star Dou Zong.

"Damn! They're puppets!"

Seeing the five silver figures, utterly devoid of any life aura, raising their fists to strike, the group couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

But Earth Demon Puppets paid no mind to fear or hesitation. They simply swung their fists and pressed the attack.

The six were left with no choice but to hurriedly unleash their Dou Techniques to block them.

However, despite having one extra person on their side, the puppets' star ranks were overall much higher than theirs.

As a result, they actually found themselves on the losing end.

The two Six-Star Dou Zongs were barely able to hold off the Seven-Star Dou Zong–level Granny Yin by working together.

The Five-Star Dou Zong–level alchemist could only manage to stall the Six-Star Dou Zong–level Old Ground Demon Ghost by relying on the advantage of Dou Techniques.

But the three surviving Four-Star Dou Zongs… were utterly miserable.

They each faced a Five-Star Dou Zong–level Earth Demon Puppet.

Against puppets a full rank higher—and ones that felt no pain—they were completely suppressed and beaten down.

Seeing this, the hunchbacked elder realized his group couldn't last much longer.

Seizing a brief gap in the chaos, he turned toward the Eight-Star Dou Zong and shouted, "Lei Lao! Finish that guy off! As long as he's dead, these puppets will definitely stop. We can't hold on much longer!"

"A re Four-Star Dou Zong? I can crush him with one hand."

The Eight-Star Dou Zong replied carelessly as a massive surge of violet lightning suddenly erupted around his body.

The arcs of lightning coiled and danced across his entire form, darting about like countless tiny violet thunder-serpents.
