196: Chapter 196 Gu Han: Watch closely, this is how you use your soul.

"Sizzle!"

A cyan line streaked through the air, instantly slicing across the necks of Lion and Tiger.

"You!"

Lion and Tiger widened their eyes, instinctively reaching out to cover their necks.

But the next moment, blood spurted from their necks as their heads separated from their bodies and plummeted downwards.

"The three of you working together were no match for this Sect Master. Now that only two remain and are injured, you are no match for a single strike from me."

Yun Shan flicked his sleeves and clasped his hands behind his back, his demeanor detached and transcendent.

It was as if he had just killed two chickens, not two Peak Dou Huang experts who were only a step away from becoming Dou Zong.

"Little Fellow Gu, have you broken through to Dou Huang?" Yun Shan paced through the void, his figure flickering a few times before arriving at Gu Han's side.

"Not yet, almost there." Gu Han had not broken through to Dou Huang.

After nearly half a month of seclusion, his Soul Power realm had grown to the mid-Spirit stage, his body had been tempered by Sword Intent to be comparable to a Sixth-tier Demonic Beast, and his cultivation had grown to Peak Dou Wang. He had condensed four ice souls within his body, with the remaining two requiring a breakthrough to Dou Huang and Dou Zong to condense.

Normally, it would take him about four months to break through to the Dou Huang level, which was much faster than the year it took Xiao Yan to break through during his seclusion.

After Yun Yun came out of seclusion, he used the Xuanwu Shell to deduce the situation in the outside world. Upon learning of the battle situation at Golden Goose Valley, he followed her out of seclusion.

"But aren't you a three-star Dou Huang right now?" Yun Shan felt slightly surprised. He was a sword cultivator with powerful Sword Intent, a strong soul, and keen perception of Soul Power.

"A small secret technique, no aftereffects, can be used occasionally." Gu Han explained lightly. The reason he could have the cultivation of a three-star Dou Huang was naturally because he had activated the Four Symbols ice soul Formation.

There were no aftereffects, only that before using it next time, he needed to restore the Dou Qi within the four ice souls to more than half.

"Old Sect Master, let's go deal with that Soul Hall Protector first."

Gu Han stopped chatting with Yun Shan. Black flames burned on the wings behind him as he shot towards the sky above the Golden Goose Sect gate like a stream of light.

As for Bear, after being struck by his Five Elements Cold-Transforming Seal, he was already barely breathing, and after his soul was attacked by Gu Han's Soul Power, he was dead beyond any doubt.

"Looks like I have to retreat."

Seeing that the Three Elders of Mu Lan had been dealt with, Iron Protector felt a sense of dread and immediately prepared to retreat.

Even if Xie Bi Yan still had the strength to fight, facing four Dou Zong experts at the same time, it was impossible to win.

"Hehehe."

"Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Shan, Yun Yun, Queen Medusa."

"I will remember what happened today. I will return to the branch hall to report to the Vice Hall Master."

"Protector Ying and Protector Wu died at your hands; you must pay the price."

The black mist around Iron Protector became dense as he quickly fled towards the northwest.

The six Soul Emissaries from the Hall of Souls that he brought saw this and immediately wanted to withdraw.

"Trying to leave now? Too late!"

Xiao Yi Xian and Hai Bodong simultaneously unleashed their Dou Techniques, each entangling one Soul Emissary.

Jia Xingtian exchanged a look with the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast, and the two unleashed a combined Dou Technique, blocking the three Soul Emissaries.

"Don't even think about running!" Colorful Glass stomped hard on the void, her entire body enveloped in a layer of seven-colored light as she prepared to chase after Iron Protector.

"Let him go." Gu Han's cold yet warm voice echoed in Colorful Glass's mind: "Deal with the six Soul Emissaries first."

If it were anyone else, Colorful Glass would not have paid any attention.

Even if it were an expert, she would have replied: "Are you ordering this King?"

But since the person who said this was Gu Han, Colorful Glass let out a displeased hmph and turned directly to rush towards a Soul Emissary of the Hall of Souls.

"Boom!"

Colorful Glass gathered force for a punch. The energy of heaven and earth was guided by her fist, creating a massive commotion that sent the Soul Emissary flying. At the same time, dense seven-colored energy appeared out of thin air, transforming into chains to lock the person down.

Following that, she looked at another Soul Emissary who was entangled by Hai Bodong's Ice Dragon and delivered a side kick.

The void trembled. The Ice Dragon was shattered by this kick, and Medusa's foot landed on the Soul Emissary's abdomen.

Bang!

This Soul Emissary followed in the footsteps of the previous one.

Seeing this, Hai Bodong reacted quickly, mobilizing all the Dou Qi in his body and aiming both hands at the last Soul Emissary.

"Ice Dragon Shakes the Earth!"

The shattered ice in mid-air gathered in one place. Terrifying, bone-chilling white cold air condensed rapidly into a pure white, hundred-foot giant dragon. Blue light flickered in its eyes as if it had come alive, and it roared as it dove forward.

Several chains flew out from within the Soul Emissary's body, piercing through the giant, icy body, but they could not hinder its pace.

"Boom!"

This Soul Emissary was swallowed by the giant Ice Dragon, which circled in place and curled up, floating in mid-air like an iceberg.

Seeing this, Gu Han and Yun Shan both arrived beside Jia Xingtian and the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast to help deal with the three Soul Emissaries they were fighting.

Snow suddenly began to fall between heaven and earth. When one of the snowflakes landed on the Soul Emissaries, they felt as if they had arrived in another world.

This was a world occupied by white snow; looking around, everything was covered in snow.

In the distance was snow, in the sky was snow, and using Soul Power perception, it was still snow.

"What is going on!?"

The three Soul Emissaries felt something was wrong, but they did not know where the problem lay.

Until a certain moment, when a disturbance suddenly appeared in their world, a hundred-foot sword light emerged, shattering space as it descended, leaving them with nowhere to hide.

"Urgh..."

The three Soul Emissaries instinctively reached out to grab their own necks.

Only at this moment did they realize that they were still in their original positions.

But the attack from Yun Shan had already separated the bodies they had transformed using their soul bodies.

"Are they stupid? They didn't even dodge." Jia Xingtian flew to Yun Shan's side, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"They aren't stupid; they simply couldn't move." Yun Shan clasped his hands behind his back, his demeanor detached as his gaze swept over Gu Han, who was holding a longsword not far away: "Little Fellow Gu made the first move and froze them in place."

Although the time was very short, his Sword Intent still sensed a powerful soul fluctuation.

If he was not mistaken, it must have been Gu Han using powerful Soul Power to make the three Soul Emissaries experience hallucinations, their bodies hard-controlled in place.

That was why his execution of Wind Extremity: Meteor Kill was able to behead the three of them so easily.

The black mist dissipated, revealing the true forms of the Soul Emissaries, which were different from normal humans.

If he was not mistaken, these Soul Emissaries and Soul Hall Protectors were all soul bodies transformed by some secret technique, so they had miraculous effects when dealing with soul bodies, and their methods were eerie and unpredictable.

But when they encountered sword cultivators from the Cloud Mist Sect who were proficient in Sword Intent, or cultivators with powerful soul realms like Gu Han, they had met their nemesis.

However, there was no need to tell Jia Xingtian about this information.

"Want to leave?"

The wings burning with black and white flames behind Gu Han gave a shake, and his figure flashed through the air like a stream of light. A few breaths later, he arrived a few miles away and immediately threw the longsword in his hand.

"Mysterious Ice Heavenly Phoenix!"

Gu Han's hands quickly formed hand seals. The Dou Qi within his body and the energy of heaven and earth quickly converged onto the longsword, rapidly transforming into a hundred-foot-tall, lifelike Ice Phoenix with translucent feathers emitting cold air, its wings spread wide, causing cold light to flow.

The Ice Phoenix descended from the sky like an inverted galaxy. Every flap of its wings caused frost to overflow, shaking the space.

Yun Shan's expression was quite interesting as he turned to look at Hai Bodong: "What do you think of this move?"
