Xiao Fan frowned as he sensed the changes in the main hall. The appearance of Huang Luo had already shattered his deductions about the situation in the ruins, and the appearance of the Soul Hall expert caught him completely off guard.
From Mo Shang's perspective, he was traveling with another Soul Palace elder and had not encountered the Eight Heavenly Venerables' prison at all.
After revealing their aura in the prison area, Mo Shang and another elder with the strength of a four-star Dou Zun joined the Soul Palace team in the passage.
For a time, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Soul Palace were the strongest in the palace.
"It seems I haven't arrived too late after all!"
Prisoner stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the ranks of the various forces, a hint of mockery on his face. Only when he saw Huang Luo did his expression turn serious.
However, when his gaze fell upon Xiao Fan in the crowd, his expression suddenly darkened.
"So your name is Xiao Fan?!"
Suddenly, the prisoner's body twisted without warning and appeared in front of Xiao Fan in an instant, its huge hand falling towards Xiao Fan's head.
However, Xiao Fan's expression did not change in the face of the prison's attack, and a surge of strange fire roared out from his body.
In an instant, a ferocious fire dragon formed on his body and devoured the hand of the prisoner.
"boom!"
The intense flames radiated energy, and the surrounding powerful figures immediately took a step back, not wanting to get involved in the battle between Xiao Fan and the Prisoner.
As an eight-star Dou Zun powerhouse, Qiu Di took the initiative to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Fan, but was blocked by Xiao Fan instead. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Good lad, you do have some skill. No wonder those good-for-nothings died at your hands!"
Prisoner looked at Xiao Fan with murderous intent, but at this moment he did not know that Old Ghost Zhaixing and Bai Tianzun had also perished at Xiao Fan's hands.
"Is this all the Soul Hall's people are capable of?"
Xiao Fan's aura was in no way weak. He looked up at the Eight Heavenly Venerables in front of him with a look of disdain on his face.
"With your strength, you've actually become a Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace. No wonder the Soul Palace was so easily defeated by me!"
Xiao Fan's vicious words made it impossible for Qiu Di to hide his murderous intent any longer. A monstrous aura emanated from him, and the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere. Xiao Fan and the others beside him, including Xiao Yan, all stood solemnly in anticipation.
"The formation is about to break!"
Just as Xiao Fan and Qiu Di were about to make their move, a sudden exclamation came from the crowd, attracting everyone's attention. They turned around and saw that the massive array that had been covering the stone was gradually dissipating, and cracks were beginning to spread from it.
"Hmph, you'll be lucky next time. Once we get out of the ruins, I'll grind you to dust!"
The Eighth Heavenly Venerable's eyes flickered as he sized up Xiao Fan's team, but he still chose not to make a move.
After all, he had come into the ruins with a mission from the temple master.
As the aura of the formation gradually weakened, everyone's attention fell on the ten orbs of light within it.
After all, one of these ten orbs of light contained the Heavenly Rank Battle Technique of a Battle Saint, which was the target of many powerful individuals.
However, among everyone, only Xiao Fan knew that the real Heaven-rank Battle Technique was not hidden inside this ball of light at all, but was in the remains of the Battle Saint at the very top!
"Boom! Click!"
The array above exploded with a deafening roar, and the ten orbs of light hidden within it were instantly scattered throughout the main hall.
Many powerful figures looked at the ball of light flying in mid-air with excitement on their faces, and together they reached out to grab it.
However, most people's attention was focused on the dozen or so puppets inside the main hall.
"boom!"
As the formation completely disappeared, the dozen or so puppets on the ground suddenly emitted an aura comparable to that of a Dou Zun.
Blades flashed as they attacked the powerful figures vying for the orb of light in mid-air.
"Ah ah ah..."
In the blink of an eye, the powerful figures vying for the ball of light in mid-air suffered heavy casualties, with more than ten powerful figures who were unable to dodge in time or whose minds were blinded by greed completely perishing at the hands of these puppets.
A thick, pungent stench of blood filled the hall, bringing back the senses of those powerful figures whose minds had been consumed by greed. They stared in fear at the Dou Zun puppet below.
"mob!"
As he watched the people scatter and flee in mid-air because of the puppet's attack, these four words suddenly flashed through Xiao Fan's mind.
Finally, looking at the various forces inside the hall, it was clear that none of them had made a move during the first round of competition.
Perhaps this is the difference between the major powers and those ordinary people. More often than not, they are able to suppress their greed and are better at assessing the situation.
"Let's attack together and suppress these puppets first!"
The Tianming Sect member spoke coldly, and received everyone's agreement.
Even the people of the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan dared not go against the tide at this time.
After all, their strength is among the best in the arena. If they are really pushed to the limit and the others unite, even they will suffer a great loss.
After a brief division of labor, everyone attacked the puppets in the arena together.
Although Xiao Fan attacked the puppet, he remained cautiously on guard against the Soul Palace experts and the Heavenly Demon Royal Family members behind him.
He couldn't really trust anyone else with his back to him.
Chapter 258 Chaotic War
"These puppets seem to still carry the aura of humans."
As everyone made their move, Xiao Yan sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from the puppet in front of him and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"This is an ancient human who used special methods to extract the souls of these Dou Zun powerhouses and then sealed them inside the bodies of these puppets. The puppets made in this way not only have intelligence but can also use fighting techniques, making them far more troublesome than ordinary puppets."
The Heavenly Fire Venerable's gaze fell upon the group of puppets in front of him, a gloomy expression appearing on his face. He slowly began to explain to Xiao Fan and the others.
"Wouldn't that mean...?"
Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the group of puppets in front of him, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
More than ten Dou Zun level experts—doesn't that mean the Creation Saint directly killed more than ten Dou Zun experts, extracted their souls, and then made these puppets?
Such methods terrified Xiao Yan.
"Don't think about all that, just kill them first!"
As Xiao Fan worked on the puppet, his gaze constantly swept over the clusters of light flying around the main hall.
With these dozen or so puppets present, the entire hall was in chaos. Many people tried to take advantage of the confusion and attack the ball of light in mid-air, but those who got the ball of light often became the target of everyone's attacks.
Faced with the combined attack of the puppets and a host of powerful figures, those who managed to seize the orb of light first became the targets of everyone's attacks and died on the spot.
Even so, some people still harbored ulterior motives and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize the ball of light first.
"Senior brother, how about we grab one of those orbs of light first?"
Xiao Yan's gaze, which was fixed on the battle taking place inside the main hall, was drawn to the clusters of light that kept flashing through the air. A hint of excitement appeared on his face, and he spoke to Xiao Fan.
After all, it's a Heaven-Rank Battle Skill. Even though the probability is only 1/10, it's still reassuring to have it in hand first.
.
However, upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Fan smiled slightly and spoke softly via telepathy.
"This ball of light should only be a bait left by the Creation Saint; the real Heaven-rank combat techniques are not inside this ball of light."
"Bait?"
Xiao Yan's face showed surprise when he heard Xiao Fan's words.
Although he didn't know how his senior brother found out about this, he believed that since his senior brother dared to say it, he must have some confidence in it.
Since Heavenly Rank combat techniques are not within this ball of light...
Xiao Yan took the opportunity to look around the main hall, finally landing on the white jade skeleton sitting high above.
Sure enough, when Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the Dou Sheng skeleton above, he noticed something unusual about it.
"Is this a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique?"
Xiao Yan's eyes flickered with firelight, through which he could observe the anomaly on the skeleton above. On the three ribs on the lower left, a mysterious aura was emanating, and there were also strange symbols flowing on them.
Having learned from Xiao Fan where the true Heavenly Rank Battle Technique was, Xiao Yan no longer yearned for it as much when he looked at the ball of light.
However, to avoid alerting other powerful individuals, they still pretended to want to seize the ball of light.
"boom!"
Meanwhile, the dozen or so puppets inside the main hall had almost all perished under the combined attack of so many forces present.
As Tang Zhen personally destroyed the last puppet, all the powerful figures in the arena turned their attention to the ten halos flying in mid-air.
"Do it!"
"Hurry and grab it! One of these is a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique."
As these puppets at the Dou Zun realm were destroyed, everyone's attention was drawn to the ball of light in mid-air.
Looking at the ten orbs of light flying in mid-air, someone roared first and everyone attacked at once. In an instant, the hall was filled with dazzling fighting techniques.
"Senior brother, let's make a move too. Regardless of whether this is a Heaven-rank combat skill or not, if we don't participate, we'll seem a bit out of place."
Xiao Yan looked at all the major forces that had already made their moves, his gaze falling on Xiao Fan in front of him, and spoke.
"it is good!"
Xiao Fan nodded. Regardless of whether the ball of light contained a genuine Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, anything that a Battle Saint would use as bait here couldn't be something commonplace.
