Chapter 250: The Curtain Falls
"Jie Jie Jie, die!"
Protector Wu laughed ghoulishly as he pounced on Xiao Ming. At this moment, his realm had soared to six-star Dou Ancestor or even higher.
Truth be told, the difference in stars in the Dou Ancestor realm was very significant. Xiao Ming, as a Dou Ancestor, would not be afraid to face a powerhouse in the same star as him, but he could no longer cross too many stars to face his enemies like he used to.
Even if it seemed so, it had not been so easy for him to fight Protector Wu and Protector Xuan before.
Therefore, looking at Protector Wu, Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.
After a few collisions in midair between Protector Wu and Xiao Ming, the space became agitated, and ripples emerged.
"Jie Jie Jie Ji-"
Feeling that he had the upper hand in the battle against Xiao Ming, Protector Wu let out a triumphant laugh. However, his joy was short-lived as his body suddenly expanded like a balloon!
Xiao Ming, who had just repelled a move, stared at Protector Wu's expanding body, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
'This is the Chilling Bone Flame's aura, but why is it so frenetic...? Could it be that... it is about to self-destruct?!' Fearing the worst, Xiao Ming quickly turned around and began to flee.
"NO, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Protector Wu cried out in horror. At this moment, he could not care less about Xiao Ming's fleeing.
A white flame the size of a thumb swelled up inside his body. But how was that possible? He had used Yao Lao's soul power to appease the Chilling Bone Flame. Why would it still self-destruct? Did that old geezer Yao Chen do something?
Protector Wu was at a loss.
BOOOOM!
In the end, he could not find an answer. When his body inflated to a certain level, he exploded with a thunderous boom, echoing for hundreds of kilometers around the Misty Cloud Sect!
At this moment, the top of Misty Cloud Mountain erupted like a volcano. The blazing white flames mixed with soul power turned into waves of flame, spreading out in a circular arc.
Misty Cloud Mountain shook violently, and a huge crack spread along the mountainside. Rocks rolled and trees burned, creating an apocalyptic scene.
The surging flames gave birth to a colossal mushroom-shaped cloud at the peak of Misty Cloud Mountain, visible for hundreds of miles around.
Countless people within a hundred-mile radius of the Misty Cloud Sect gazed with incredulous expressions at the spectacle. Even at such a distance, the sudden rise in temperature was palpable.
As time passed, the flames slowly dissipated, revealing the bright sunlight once again. The black veil that previously shrouded the sky was chased away by the intense flames.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the huge square appeared to have been the epicenter of an earthquake, with cracks stretching in all directions and the originally imposing hall shattered almost in half. Outside the square, some of the surrounding houses and halls had turned to rubble, and the square was filled with the constant wailing of the Misty Cloud Sect's disciples.
Of course, the power of destruction caused by the fusion between the self-destruction of a Heavenly Flame and a Dou Ancestor would not be limited to a few shattered buildings.
The explosion would have caused much more destruction if it weren't for the huge bowl-shaped energy shield in the air. The energy shield enveloped the entire peak of Misty Cloud Mountain, but even so, the residual energy from the explosion destroyed much of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Venerable Tian Huo was the one holding the energy shield. At this moment, his soul had become somewhat illusory again, indicating that it had not been easy to deal with the explosion.
When the heat wave dissipated, Venerable Tian Huo's gaze was fixed on the center of the explosion. He was at a distance from where Xiao Ming and Protector Wu had fought, and the effects he had just witnessed were only aftershocks. Therefore, he did not know the situation with Xiao Ming, who had been at the center of the explosion.
...
After a while, the figure of Xiao Ming appeared in everyone's line of sight.
His condition didn't seem to be very good, with a pale face and torn, burnt white clothes on his body.
"Cough cough, fortunately, I ran fast."
Xiao Ming said, wiping the cold sweat from his head. He felt lucky that he had seen something wrong earlier and ran away before the Chilling Bone Flame exploded, or he could have been seriously injured if not killed.
Even so, he was still a little injured and not feeling quite well because he hadn't run fast enough to completely avoid the explosion.
However, with the death of Protector Wu, the Misty Cloud Sect matter had finally come to an end, even if it ended with unexpected events.
Venerable Tian Huo, Zi Yan, and a few others who knew Xiao Ming well rushed over to check on him as he landed on the ground.
"Xiao Ming, are you okay? Did you suffer any serious injuries?!" Zi Yan asked with concern, her small hands groping around his body.
"I'm fine," Xiao Ming replied, looking at Medusa who was standing behind Zi Yan. He took out a healing pill from his storage ring and swallowed it before turning his attention to Venerable Tian Huo.
"Senior Yao, do you have any interest in the fierce spirit? If not, then I'll go help Xian'er to exterminate it."
The explosion from earlier had briefly affected the battle between Xiao Yi Xian and the fierce spirit, but now the battle had resumed.
"Of course, I am interested. To be honest, I have a unique set of techniques for this kind of fierce spirit. My soul was quite consumed during the explosion, and this fierce spirit will help me restore much of my strength. However, that thing is vicious and abnormal, so I would like to borrow your Heavenly Flame when the time comes," Venerable Tian Huo explained.
"Naturally, I'll lend it to you." Xiao Ming faintly nodded his head.
Seeing Xiao Ming's agreement, Venerable Tian Huo didn't say anything else, he just took the storage ring from Xiao Ming's hand and flew straight towards the area where Xiao Yi Xian and the fierce spirit were fighting.
Venerable Tian Huo had a unique set of techniques against fierce spirits, so this one had little opposition in his hands.
Xiao Ming turned his gaze towards Yun Yun who had approached him.
At this moment, Yun Yun's face was not very pleasant, after the battle just now, it could be said that the Misty Cloud Sect had suffered great losses, but she could not resent Xiao Ming who had caused this scene.
After all, those powerful people with strange laughter had actually been invited by themselves, and if Xiao Ming did not take action today, then sooner or later, her Misty Cloud Sect would be annihilated by these people, even her Master had been deceived and could be said to be helpless before them.
In this sense, the Misty Cloud Sect had to thank him.
Moreover, Xiao Ming had rescued Yun Shan's soul before.
Yun Yun quickly pulled herself together and sketched a gentle smile on her pale face.
"Thank you very much, Master Xiao Ming, for saving my Master earlier."
Xiao Ming had saved Yun Shan for two reasons, one was because he had been a bit unreasonable when he prevented Misty Cloud Sect from seeking trouble with Xiao Yan, and secondly, to prevent Yun Shan's soul from falling into Protector Wu's hands and being devoured by him, causing the opponent's strength to skyrocket.
Unfortunately, seeing that his life was in danger, Protector Wu panicked and even devoured Yao Lao, resulting in the current situation.
In the end, Protector Wu finally reaped what he sowed and died grotesquely.
Xiao Ming did not feel sad when Yao Lao died, he only felt a little pity.
'It's a pity for the Chilling Bone Flame.'
