The intense crimson, blue, and white tri-colored flames and thunder exploded across the azure sky, resembling a firestorm sweeping over the heavens. The temperature in this entire area shot up abruptly, as if ignited by the flames.
Within the Imperial City, countless people gazed dumbstruck toward the direction of Yun Lan Mountain. Even from several miles away, the terrifying fire waves streaking across the sky were enough to make anyone tremble with fear.
The vast city fell silent. Everyone gulped nervously, and a chill spread from the depths of their souls.
On Yun Lan Mountain, every building of Yun Lan Sect was obliterated under this horrific storm of electrical fire.
"So this is the destructive power of a Dou Zong expert? Truly terrifying…" Everyone shivered, murmuring inwardly, paralyzed by the overwhelming spectacle.
The firestorm rippled outward, and everything within a thousand meters of the explosion's center was devastated. The lives of all beings in this range faced utter annihilation.
The firestorm spread to a distance of nearly a kilometer before finally dispersing. Amid the sky, both Mo Yu and Protector Wu were left severely battered.
Protector Wu, originally cloaked in sinister black mist, had been hit the hardest, being closest to the core of the explosion. The evil black mist around his body had nearly dissipated entirely, revealing red, oozing blood seeping from his shattered armor, dripping down like rain.
Beneath his broken armor, horrifying wounds crisscrossed his body, so deep they exposed the gleam of his white bones.
At this moment, Protector Wu's earlier smugness was gone, replaced by absolute horror and dismay. His once-menacing posture was no more.
Not far from him, a cloudy white shield woven from thin threads of light shattered slowly, revealing Yun Shan. His face was extremely somber, with blood at the corner of his mouth. Wiping away the blood with a trembling hand, he looked back at the few disciples and elders who had barely survived by staying close to him.
In that brief moment before the explosion, Yun Shan had exhausted nearly all his strength to conjure a shield just in time to protect those closest to him.
"Damn it, Yun Lan Sect's accumulation of hundreds of years has been destroyed in an instant!"
As Yun Shan scanned the surrounding devastation, an ache flashed in his eyes. This was the precious legacy of the sect's seven generations of sect masters—gone just like that.
Within the sect lay countless treasures, painstakingly gathered martial skills, and Dou techniques from each generation. All had been obliterated!
What pained him even more was the enormous loss of Yun Lan Sect members. Although he had ordered Yun Yun to evacuate the disciples, there wasn't enough time, and half of the disciples perished in that cataclysm.
The foundation of any sect lies in its loyal disciples. Elders can be replaced, but if the disciples are wiped out, then Yun Lan Sect might as well cease to exist. Mo Yu's attack had set the sect back by at least a decade!
With a heart bleeding in pain, Yun Shan's gaze turned venomously toward the badly wounded Mo Yu in mid-air.
At this point, Mo Yu's blue robe was mostly destroyed, and the Heart Sea Armor gifted by Yun Yun had been shattered, with blue fragments falling away, revealing his scorched red skin beneath.
Xiao Yan, ignoring his own injuries, appeared beside Mo Yu, the shock in his eyes still lingering as he asked with concern, "Cousin Mo Yu, are you alright?"
The destructive power of combining two Heavenly Flames with the mysterious Thunder Soul was shocking even to Xiao Yan.
What astonished him even more was Mo Yu's ability to merge Heavenly Flames and Thunder Soul. Such soul control was truly terrifying.
Mo Yu waved his hand and chuckled lightly. "I'm fine." He coughed, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
The power of the Thunder God Flame Lotus was indeed beyond his expectations. Without Yun Yun's armor and She Lao's bloodline energy protecting him at the last moment, he might have been killed by his own attack.
But the cost was worth it. A glance showed that Protector Wu was far worse off, his aura weak and erratic from the backlash of soul-devouring techniques.
"Should we seize this chance to kill him?" Xiao Yan's dark eyes flickered with intent.
Mo Yu was tempted by Xiao Yan's suggestion but then shook his head. "Forget it. Though he's severely wounded, his methods are still unpredictable. If he has a hidden trump card, we'll be in danger. Let's leave for now. Yun Lan Sect is here; they won't escape. When we've grown stronger, we'll come back for revenge."
Without She Lao and Yao Lao's support, he and Xiao Yan, along with Queen Medusa, wouldn't gain much advantage against Yun Shan and the wounded Protector Wu.
Besides, Protector Wu's appearance was an unexpected complication. Who knew if other Soul Hall Protectors were lurking in the Empire? The risk was too great.
Nodding in agreement, Xiao Yan acknowledged that now was not the right time to destroy Yun Lan Sect.
Having made their decision, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan wasted no time. Before Yun Lan Sect could recover from the blast, and while Protector Wu was gravely injured, Xiao Yan extended twin fire wings, and Mo Yu activated his Purple Cloud Wings. In a flash, they streaked into the endless forest below.
Just before leaving, Mo Yu glanced at Yun Yun, his expression unreadable as he felt the Heart Sea Armor on him. With a sigh, he knew this departure might be their last meeting.
As if sensing Mo Yu's gaze, Yun Yun reflexively looked over. Biting her lip, she watched him disappear, a hint of sorrow and complexity in her beautiful eyes.
"Yun Shan, the blood feud with the Xiao Clan's Twin Dragons will never be forgotten! One day, we'll make you pay tenfold!"
The voices of Mo Yu and Xiao Yan echoed ominously in the Yun Lan Sect square, their chilling promise causing the disciples to shudder.
"How dare you!"
With a face dark as iron, Yun Shan glared at the spot where the two had vanished. He was about to give chase when Queen Medusa suddenly blocked his path.
With an icy glare, Yun Shan waved his hand and ordered in a cold voice, "Yun Lan Sect Deacons and Elders, listen up! Form search teams and sweep the mountain for the Xiao Clan's Twin Dragons! Announce to the entire Empire: ten thousand gold for information, and a reward of Elder rank in Yun Lan Sect to anyone who captures them!"
"Alive or dead!"
