Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

He felt immense pressure from his opponent, which meant that the opponent was not only a Dou Zong expert, but also far stronger than himself.

Judging from what the other person just said, this person does not seem to be friendly towards Canaan Academy.

The elder thought that the fight would be over once Xiao Fan killed Han Feng, but he never expected such a turn of events. Thinking of this, the elder's face grew even more gloomy.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the gap between the two becomes larger as one progresses in strength. Even among Dou Zong experts, although there is only a one-star difference in realm, the difference in strength is far more than that.

The sudden appearance of a Dou Zong expert on the opposing side made the outcome of this battle even more unpredictable.

Everyone's expression changed upon seeing the suddenly appearing Dou Zong expert, even Xiao Yan. In a corner where no one was paying attention, only Xiao Fan looked at the suddenly appearing Dou Zong expert with a slight smile on his lips.

"May I ask who you are? And what grudge do you have against Canaan Academy?"

The Grand Elder looked up at the mysterious man opposite him and asked in a deep voice.

"Heh, who am I? No need for the Grand Elder to worry about that." The man in black robes chuckled contemptuously, then turned to look at Yuan Yi and the others.

"You don't actually think Canaan Academy will just let you off the hook, do you? If you back down now, none of you will escape once Canaan Academy has the time to act! You should know that your sects are all located in the Black Corner Region."

Yuan Yi and the others looked grim upon hearing the mysterious man's words, as he was right.

The relationship between Black Corner Region and Canaan Academy has almost completely broken down. Apart from Su Mei of Rakshasa Sect and Tie Wu of Mad Lion Gang, who for some unknown reason have sided with Canaan Academy, other factions such as Earth Flame Sect and Eight Doors have long harbored an irreconcilable hatred towards Canaan Academy.

The struggle between the two sides has never stopped over the past year, and countless students and elders have died at the hands of the other side. Yuan Yi and the others would not believe that Canaan Academy would really let them go so easily.

They had only considered retreating because of Han Feng's death, but now, reminded by the mysterious man, they had all come to their senses.

They were not alone; their vast sect was located in the Black Corner Region. If Canaan Academy were to settle accounts later, they would not be able to stop them.

With this thought in mind, Yuan Yi looked at Yan of the Earth Flame Sect. The two exchanged a glance and nodded almost imperceptibly. Then, they turned their gaze to the mysterious man and asked, "What is your purpose in saying such a thing?"

Upon hearing Yuan Yi and the others' words, the mysterious man chuckled twice, but was about to speak when he was abruptly interrupted by an attack.

Looking in the direction from which the attack came, Xiao Fan held the Thousand Flame Spear, its tip pointing at him. This attack was clearly launched by Xiao Fan.

"You are very good."

The mysterious man turned his gaze to Xiao Fan and spoke in a pretentious manner.

"With your talent, it's a real waste for you to stay in this small Canaan Academy. Would you be interested in joining us?"

Upon hearing the mysterious man's words, a strange glint flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes before he spoke, "Heh, I don't think joining the Soul Hall is a good choice."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Elder Su Qian's expression suddenly darkened.

Yuan Yi and the others looked puzzled.

After all, given their status, they actually had no chance to come into contact with the Soul Hall. Even within Canaan Academy, only the Grand Elder and others knew of the Soul Hall's existence, and most teachers and academy staff had never heard of it.

Therefore, after hearing Xiao Fan's disdainful tone, they only regarded this mysterious person as belonging to an ordinary force, and they were all very angry at his tone of belittling Canaan Academy.

Only the mysterious man's aura turned gloomy after hearing Xiao Fan utter the words "Soul Palace".

From the moment he appeared, he never said that he was a member of the Soul Hall, nor did he reveal any characteristics of the techniques related to the Soul Hall. How did this kid discover his identity?

He was merely a link between Han Feng and the Soul Palace.

After all, Han Feng's confidence in daring to kill his master stemmed partly from his cooperation with the Soul Palace.

In addition, its development in the Black Corner Region over the years has also been secretly supported by the Soul Palace.

Protector Sha is the person who has stayed by Han Feng's side all these years, partly to protect the interests of the Soul Hall, and partly to provide Han Feng with some protection.

Just now, Han Feng sensed the aura emanating from Xiao Yan, and he naturally sensed it as well.

That strength didn't belong to Xiao Yan; with his level of ability, he could naturally sense who it came from.

The renowned alchemist of the Dou Qi Continent, Yao Chen, the Medicine Venerable!

He thought that by staying by Han Feng's side, he would never have another chance to achieve anything significant, but unexpectedly, fate delivered such a great achievement to his side.

Thinking about this, he almost trembled with excitement.

Unexpectedly, in that moment of carelessness, Han Feng was killed by Xiao Fan in one blow.

This wouldn't have been a big deal in itself. He took advantage of the chaos today to secretly extract Han Feng's soul using the Soul Palace's secret technique, then slipped away and leaked Yao Chen's information. That would be considered a great achievement.

However, to his surprise, the Black Corner Region group actually decided to stop fighting after Han Feng's death. Once they stopped fighting, it would be almost impossible to take Han Feng's soul away, so his plan naturally failed, which is why he had no choice but to come out in the open.

"As expected of the disciple of the Medicine Venerable, he does have some insight."

Protector Sha hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the crowd and relaxed. Xiao Fan's side only had Su Qian, a Dou Zong, whose strength was only one star. Even if Xiao Fan had a strange fire, he could not stop him if he wanted to leave.

Therefore, Protector Sha tilted his head towards Xiao Fan and spoke.

Many inner court elders who were unaware of Xiao Fan and his companion's identities looked at them in astonishment upon hearing Protector Sha's words.

Back when the Medicine Venerable was famous throughout the continent, many of them were not even at the level of a Great Dou Master. Moreover, the Medicine Venerable's fall was known throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent. Now, upon hearing Protector Sha's words, they all looked at Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan with curiosity.

He then glanced at Han Feng on the ground, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes.

Seeing the other party's calm demeanor, Xiao Fan did not rush to make a move. After all, it seemed that his side was now at a slight disadvantage.

"I wonder what your name is?"

"Hehehe, you can just call me Protector Sha."

Upon hearing Protector Sha's words, Xiao Fan frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Protector Sha, yet another protector...?"

Xiao Fan, who was familiar with the plot of Battle Through the Heavens, naturally knew that people like the Eagle Protector and the Sand Protector were only at the peak of Dou Huang or Dou Zong, and were just the lowest level of people in the Soul Palace. He knew only limited information about them.

In other words, they were just low-level workers. It's ridiculous, isn't it? To outsiders, the high-ranking Dou Zong experts were just the lowest-level personnel in the Soul Palace.

This demonstrates just how terrifying the Soul Palace's strength is on the Dou Qi Continent.

Now that they know the identity of Protector Sha, and since the other party knows about the teacher's existence, they cannot let him leave.

"You Ruo, make your move!"

Xiao Fan looked at Protector Sha with a playful expression, then spoke to You Ruo in his mind through the contract.

In that instant, Xiao Fan's fighting spirit circulated rapidly, his fighting spirit wings flapped violently, and he shot towards Protector Sha like a cannonball.

"ridiculous!"

Xiao Fan, who hadn't yet rushed over, laughed in extreme anger.

However, he was merely a Dou Huang, yet he dared to attack him. Even Su Qian wouldn't dare to make a move now. He couldn't understand where Xiao Fan got his courage from.

"Ding!"

Seeing Xiao Fan rushing towards him, Protector Sha smiled coldly and waved his right hand. A jet-black chain shot out from behind him and collided with the Thousand Flame Spear in Xiao Fan's hand, producing a piercing metallic clang.

An invisible wave emanated from the point of collision between the two, and Xiao Fan was also knocked backward by this sudden force.

"Is this all the power you have? It's laughably weak. I don't know..."

Protector Sha looked at Xiao Fan coldly and said.

However, before he could finish speaking, a strong sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart. Without time to think, his fighting instinct made him fly backward.

Almost simultaneously with his retreat, a fierce attack struck him from in front of him, tearing open his chest and leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound.

escape!

We have to leave immediately, or we'll die!

Without even considering who was approaching, Protector Sha, having narrowly escaped death, shot off into the distance without a second thought.

Based on the power of that attack alone, he knew that the attacker could easily kill him. If it weren't for his excellent combat instincts, he would probably have been overwhelmed by that attack long ago.

With their own strength, they were no match for the other side.

"Humph!"

A charming, cold snort rang out in the sky, and then, to everyone's astonishment, a pale purple energy pierced directly through Protector Sha's chest.

Then a seductive figure appeared beside Xiao Fan.

In that instant, the atmosphere in the sky seemed to freeze.

Chapter 289 Kill

The figure that appeared next to Xiao Fan was none other than You Ruo, who had not appeared since the start of the battle.

At this moment, You Ruo's beautiful eyes were filled with ice, and her whole body exuded a chilling aura. She unleashed the strength of a three-star Dou Zong without reservation, making everyone tremble with fear.

From the very beginning, Xiao Fan had You Ruo hide herself away, precisely to wait for this moment. Having been familiar with the plot of Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Fan naturally understood that Han Feng had a Dou Zong powerhouse from the Soul Hall by his side.

Recalling the state of Protector Sha just now, it seems that Han Feng dared to betray his teacher back then, partly because of the Soul Palace. After all, as a disciple of the Medicine Venerable, Han Feng naturally understood the strength of the Soul Palace in the Dou Qi Continent.

Back then, the Medicine Venerable refused the Soul Hall's offer of recruitment, and with the title of the continent's number one alchemist, he naturally became a thorn in the side of the Soul Hall.

As a disciple of the Medicine Venerable, Han Feng became their best target for recruitment. In addition, Han Feng had already developed a rift with his teacher because of the Burning Technique and the use of people as medicine materials.

Only with the support of the Soul Palace did he dare to do such a treasonous thing.

Unexpectedly, even with the sneak attack, Yao Lao was not completely killed, allowing his soul to escape, which led to his eventual fall into Xiao Yan's hands.

The battle just now, though it seemed to have lasted a long time, actually only took a fleeting moment.

The once imposing Dou Zong expert was now lying on the ground, severely injured.

"Are you OK."

A cool voice rang in Xiao Fan's ears. Xiao Fan looked up and met You Ruo's concerned gaze.
