With the keen eyesight of Venerable Tianhuo and the others, they naturally knew that Xiao Fan was staying behind to cover their retreat, so without hesitation, they grabbed Xiao Yan and fled into the distance.
The Soul Palace members, seeing Venerable Feng and the others leave, wanted to give chase, but Xiao Fan flashed forward and blocked their way. Venerable Bai Tian followed closely behind, chasing after Xiao Fan again, his terrifying power shattering the space around Xiao Fan.
However, Xiao Fan's strength was not much different from Bai Tianzun's. He could easily dodge Bai Tianzun's attacks. On the contrary, the Soul Palace members were temporarily blocked because of the two's fight and could no longer catch up with Feng Zun and the others.
"Hiss, that's some serious recklessness..."
Xiao Fan looked at the enraged Bai Tianzun. At this moment, Bai Tianzun's combat power was definitely at its peak. Continuing to fight would not be able to kill him.
However, Xiao Fan's gaze swept over the group of powerful figures from the Soul Palace, intending to take advantage of the chaos.
"You all stand aside!"
Chapter 210 Master and Disciple Reunion
Unfortunately, after his initial anger, Bai Tianzun has now regained his rationality.
When he noticed that Xiao Fan's attack power was gradually weakening, he guessed Xiao Fan's plan and knew that he wanted to attack the Soul Hall members behind him.
Therefore, Bai Tianzun immediately ordered the Soul Hall experts behind him to retreat and move away from the battle area between him and Xiao Fan.
Otherwise, given their strength, the aftershocks of his battle with Xiao Fan could probably injure everyone.
"Xiao Fan, prepare to die!"
As Bai Tianzun looked at Xiao Fan, the death of Hei Tianzun caused Bai Tianzun's killing intent towards Xiao Fan to reach its peak. The strength in his hand represented his intense killing intent towards Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan sensed Bai Tianzun's actions and knew that he had seen through his plans. He stopped pretending and continued to defend against Bai Tianzun's attacks. He said, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Hei Tianzun would react so quickly. He actually sacrificed his own life to save you. The relationship between the two of you is really deep."
"you wanna die!"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Bai Tianzun's aura suddenly became frenzied, and his entire aura surged once again, directly stepping into the realm of Seven-Star Dou Zun.
Xiao Fan's words just now were undoubtedly reopening his wounds; his relationship with Hei Tianzun was not a simple partnership.
The two are still blood brothers. Over the years, with the support of the Soul Palace's resources, they have progressed together and overcome countless difficulties. They originally thought that with their strength as six-star Dou Zun, this mission would be a piece of cake.
Unexpectedly, the two had barely appeared when they were ambushed by Xiao Fan, who was hiding in the shadows. Due to their momentary carelessness, they paid the price with their lives.
"Kid, I'll make you regret this!"
Bai Tianzun roared at Xiao Fan, a thick aura of blood erupting from his body. The hair ties binding his hair instantly shattered, and his long hair flew everywhere. The aura within his body continued to exceed his own limits.
Provoked by Xiao Fan, Bai Tianzun has used a secret technique, intending to fight Xiao Fan to the death. Today, even if he perishes here, he will not let Xiao Fan leave. He has already notified the experts in the hall that as long as he can hold Xiao Fan off for another half an hour, the other party will surely die!
"boom!"
The intense energy explosion made Xiao Fan's eyes narrow; he sensed a threat emanating from Bai Tianzun.
"Fight to the death...?"
Xiao Fan sized up Bai Tianzun. Possessing the Nine Transformations of the Radiant Sun, he was least afraid of risking his life. When he truly unleashed his power, even he himself didn't know where his limit was.
However, what Xiao Fan is thinking about now is whether it is necessary to risk his life.
"never mind......."
Xiao Fan's thoughts quickly came to a conclusion.
His original goal was simply to save Yao Lao; his plan to deal with the Black and White Celestial Venerables and the Soul Palace experts was merely a temporary measure.
Now that the teacher has been rescued, the Soul Palace must have received the news, and perhaps more powerful figures will be heading here. Since the teacher has been rescued, there is no need for me to stay here any longer.
Therefore, seeing that Bai Tianzun had already enhanced his strength using a secret technique, Xiao Fan's face flashed with solemnity, and his voice was steady: "Alright! Since that's the case, I, Xiao, will fight you to the death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan's aura surged wildly. Seeing this, Bai Tianzun's face turned serious. He waved his hand, causing the group of Soul Hall experts behind him to retreat even further. His fighting spirit surged even more fiercely, as he tried to fight Xiao Fan to the death.
“Boom! Whoosh!”
The next moment, Xiao Fan's aura suddenly spread out, and his entire presence was shaken.
Upon seeing this, Bai Tianzun didn't dare to blink, remaining on high alert.
only.........
Immediately following, the sounds of wind and thunder flashed, and a sound of air being torn apart rang out. Xiao Fan's figure instantly vanished, and in the blink of an eye, he had already landed in the sky. Spatial power appeared in mid-air, and Xiao Fan escaped into the void, completely disappearing from the original spot.
"Shuzi!"
Upon seeing this, Bai Tianzun was enraged. A metallic taste of blood filled his throat, and his surging battle qi went out of control. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his body plummeted to the ground.
"Tianzun!"
Seeing this, the old ghost who was hiding in the distance was shocked. He rushed forward and caught Bai Tianzun who was falling from mid-air. He saw that Bai Tianzun was weak and his whole body was very weak.
"It happened!"
The old ghost who picked stars checked Bai Tianzun's condition and his face was solemn.
The fall of the Black Celestial Venerable had already caused the White Celestial Venerable to suffer from excessive grief, which damaged his heart meridian. Later, while fighting Xiao Fan with resentment, he disregarded his internal injuries and only wanted to exchange wounds for wounds.
If it were just that, it would be fine. But in the end, in order to keep Xiao Fan here, he disregarded his injured body and his unstable soul caused by great grief and anger, and forcibly used a secret technique to enhance his strength. However, in the end, this enhanced strength was not vented. As Xiao Fan escaped, he was so angry that he completely injured himself.
"Cover everything up here. The Heavenly Venerable is seriously injured. I'll take him to the nearest palace to heal!"
Before he could think any further, Old Ghost Zhaixing gave instructions to the many Soul Hall experts behind him, and then carried Bai Tianzun away from the spot.
The few remaining Soul Hall Dou Zun exchanged glances and tacitly walked into the collapsed hall, erasing all traces of it.
............
On the other side, after shaking off Bai Tianzun, Xiao Fan didn't waste much time and caught up with Xiao Yan and the others ahead.
Sensing Xiao Fan's aura, Venerable Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Yan's face also showed a look of surprise: "Senior Brother!"
Xiao Fan bowed slightly to Venerable Feng and the others, saying, "Let's go quickly. Venerable Bai Tian is completely enraged. His strength has increased greatly, and he probably has experts from the Soul Palace coming to support him. We shouldn't stay here any longer!"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan and his group hurriedly nodded and, led by Venerable Feng, rushed towards the Starfall Pavilion.
Along the way, the group did not stop, constantly using spatial wormholes to travel through the void, and finally got away from the Western Regions.
"The people from the Soul Palace should be safe here..."
Upon reaching a vast plain, which marked the border between the Western and Southern Regions of Central China, the group breathed a sigh of relief. Further on, they would be completely out of the Western Regions.
"Thank you all, seniors!"
Xiao Yan bowed to several Dou Zun figures in the group whom he had never seen before, and then introduced them to Xiao Fan: "This is Iron Sword Venerable, Senior Sun Xiang (a fan), and Senior Erhuang (a fan)..."
As Xiao Yan introduced them to Xiao Fan, he secretly transmitted his voice to him: "Iron Sword Venerable came here on his own initiative after hearing that Master had fallen into the hands of the Soul Palace, saying it was to repay Master's kindness; Sun Xiang and Senior Erhuang were introduced by Elder Feng, and I promised to refine pills for them to come and support them..."
Xiao Fan nodded almost imperceptibly, cupped his hands to the three of them, and said, "Thank you, seniors. Without you, rescuing my teacher would not have been so easy."
"Hehe, young friend Xiao Fan is joking!"
The Iron Sword Venerable shook his head slightly as he looked at Xiao Fan, his tone wistful: "Young friend, you are so young, yet your strength has already surpassed that of many of us. Compared to you, our talent is simply... sigh..."
Xiao Fan looked at the Iron Sword Venerable and greatly admired this person who was willing to sacrifice his life to help Xiao Yan and the others cover their retreat in the original work. He was grateful for the kindness shown to him, which is why he risked his life to save Yao Lao.
"This junior is ashamed..."
Xiao Fan shook his head slightly. At this moment, Yao Lao's illusory soul also appeared from the storage ring. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's eyes reddened, and he knelt down on the ground, choking out, "Teacher, disciple... disciple has come to take you home!"
Looking at Yao Lao's much older face, Xiao Fan felt a pang of sadness, his eyes welling up with tears. Like Xiao Yan, he knelt on the ground and bowed to Yao Lao, saying, "This unworthy disciple, Xiao Fan, has caused my teacher so much suffering..."
Seeing this, Venerable Wind and the others looked on with satisfaction, turned around in unison, and landed in the distance.
"Sigh, you two..."
As Yao Lao watched Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan's figures, a look of satisfaction flashed across his face. He landed in front of the two of them and placed his hand on their heads, just as he had done when the two of them became his disciples in Wutan City.
"I never expected that you would all grow to the point where you can rival a Dou Zun. As your teacher, I have nothing more to pass on to you..."
The old doctor sighed. He had thought that once he fell into the hands of the Soul Palace, he would never be able to leave this dark place again. However, he never expected that in just a few years, his disciple would pull him out of this cage.
Looking at Xiao Fan and Xiao Fan, the old apothecary smiled with satisfaction. He helped them up and said, "You two little ones, taking you in is the happiest thing in my life, hahaha..."
Inspired by Yao Lao, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, their smiles becoming undisguised.
"To be able to become your student is a lifelong honor..."
Looking at Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, Yao Lao sighed and said, "When I took you two in, I never imagined this day would come so soon..."
The three talked for a long time on the hilltop. Then, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Fan and suddenly said, "Inside the Soul Palace..."
"it's me!"
Seeing that Elder Yao hesitated for a moment, Xiao Fan smiled and continued the conversation.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that!"
Upon hearing this, the old apothecary immediately understood Xiao Fan's plan, laughed heartily, and then advised Xiao Fan, "Be careful, safety first!"
"Teacher, don't worry!"
Hearing their conversation, Xiao Yan looked puzzled: "Teacher, Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lao burst into laughter again and then recounted the story of Mo Shang in the Soul Palace.
"what!?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face showed surprise. He looked Xiao Fan up and down and said, "So, Senior Brother, you are currently in the Soul Palace...?"
Xiao Fan nodded slightly, then his expression became extremely solemn. He turned slightly, extended his palm, and a jet-black flame appeared in his hand. He spoke to the two of them, "Teacher, junior brother, remember this flame. You can absolutely trust someone who possesses this flame!"
...........
Meanwhile, in a secluded palace in the western region of the Soul Palace, Mo Shang, wearing a black mask, lay on a chair high in the hall, feeling the joy of reuniting with Yao Lao in his true form.
