Suddenly, El activated Shinra Tensei. A wave of tremendous repulsion power exploded from his body, propelling him at high speed towards Gu He's group.
At the same time, purple Dou Qi and Zixuan Spirit Flame rushed in both his hands, condensing tremendous power. "Octane Explosion: Four Stacked Explosions!"
BOOM!
The sound of the explosion resounded. El's fist slammed hard against Yun Yun's wind Dou Qi protective wall. The impact shook the air around them, yet it was not enough to shake Yun Yun's wind protective Dou Qi.
Gu He, Yan Shi, and Feng Li frowned, their sharp gazes seemingly piercing through the masked figure before them.
Meanwhile, Yun Yun, in a soft yet firm tone, asked, "Who are you?"
El smiled faintly behind his white mask, then said in a tone full of mockery, "Why? Feeling scared because you don't know who you are facing?"
Letting the silence press in on them before El added, "Or maybe... you just want to make sure I'm not someone from the past you've hurt?"
The condescending tone in his voice instantly ignited emotions.
"YOU!" Gu He clenched his fists, eyes full of anger.
"Damn it!" Feng Li and Yan Shi growled, their bodies tensed, ready to fight.
However, before their emotions peaked further, Yun Yun immediately raised a left hand, stopping Gu He and the others.
Yun Yun remained silent, her eyes keenly scrutinizing the masked figure before her, and forehead frowning even more.
In heart, Yun Yun muttered, 'I guess it's true, he's not Ji Lan. Ji Lan couldn't possibly look down on an opponent like this.'
Meanwhile, El grinned again from behind his mask, his voice full of mocking tone. "If you only rely on name and status to feel great, then you are nothing more than losers who are swept up in empty pride."
Without warning, El launched a left fist, slamming into the wind Dou Qi barrier with a force that shook the air.
At the same time, White Fire floated backwards, before darting back with incredible speed, stabbing straight towards Yun Yun's wind barrier.
BOOM!
A loud boom echoed out, shockwaves shaking the air around them.
Yun Yun's Dou Qi barrier trembled, although sturdy defensively, yet the impact made them all frown even more, realizing that their opponent was no ordinary person.
El looked back at them sarcastically, his voice full of certainty and disdain. "Then, I don't even need to mention who I am. Because names alone won't save you from destruction."
Wasting no time, El grabbed the White Fire floating nearby. The Heavenly Flame on the White Fire blade intensified.
Even the surrounding Dou Qi was absorbed into the White Fire blade, creating a momentary heaven and earth phenomenon.
In one agile movement, El rotated his body 360 degrees, creating the perfect momentum before swinging his sword with full force.
"Flame Splitting Tsunami!"
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion resounded as purple flames swirled around El in a ferocious vortex.
The resulting energy wave was so powerful that it directly struck Yun Yun's wind Dou Qi barrier, tearing it apart instantly without a fight.
However, this was not just an ordinary Flame Splitting Tsunami, this attack was reinforced with Heki-ra no Ten, adding devastating power that even shook the skies around them.
They were all shocked. In a split second, their Dou Qi wings flapped rapidly, carrying them away from El.
Gu He frowned, his eyes filled with shock as he began to realize, that the purple flames that enveloped the White Fire blade from the start was an unknown Heavenly Fire
"This guy... is so unusual!"
Meanwhile, El fell to the ground, hitting the surface lightly. Keeping Shinra Tensei hovering was too great a drain on his stamina, moreover, he was not a Dou Zong who could walk through the air at will.
Calmly, El raised his gaze to the sky, looking at Gu He's group one by one with a dismissive expression. "Why...? Never seen a Da Dou Shi destroy the protective Dou Qi created by a Dou Huang?"
Hearing those words, their faces hardened. One thing was certain, the Da Dou Shi before them was anything but normal. It was impossible for someone at that level to have a physique this strong.
Instead of immediately attacking, they were overwhelmed with confusion. Who exactly was this person? What was his purpose? Why did he have such absurd strength?
After all, their goal was not to fight the Snake People Nation, or that madman, but the Blue lotus Geocentric Heavenly Flame.
So, what was the point of fighting a madman who was clearly provoking them to fight?
Gu He, Yun Yun, Yan Shi and Feng Li set their eyes on the broken Snake People Nation Sacred Temple.
As El stared at Gu He's group, thinking of ways to provoke them, suddenly, El caught the scent of ill will in the air.
Her reflexes were immediately sharpened, and in an instant, El turned her head towards the source.
From afar, Yue Mei smiled as she drew her Dou Qi, creating a long whip that vibrated with deadly force.
The whip shot out like a snake's tail, slicing through the air with a sharp sound that broke the silence. However, El had anticipated the attack.
With a swift movement, El swung White Fire, deflecting Yue Mei's deadly slash.
"Enbu," he muttered coldly, accompanied by a quick swing of his sword.
Slash!
In an instant, streaks of purple flames were created, horizontally and vertically in the air as White Fire burned the surrounding oxygen, after White Fire was swung.
On the other side, Yin Shi raised his staff, its tip adorned with a crystal that glittered like a wizard's, and pointed it at El.
A sardonic smile was etched on her face as Dou Qi flowed from her hand into the staff. In an instant, a burst of energy mixed with poison shot towards El.
"Gen'nichi Kō," El muttered in a low tone.
With a movement that defied inertia, his body disappeared, leaving behind a tangible afterimage.
As the blast of venom struck the afterimage, the image distorted and vanished like a shattered illusion.
Yin Shi and Yue Mei's eyes widened, their shock unable to be concealed.
At the same time, Gu He's group that was still outside the Snake People Nation Sacred Temple halted in their place.
Their attention was completely fixed on El's figure, which was moving at an incredible speed, as if dancing between time and space.
Gu He recalled the previous events, the flashback before the battle took place.
Doubts clouded Gu He's mind before he finally asked Yun Yun, "This Dou Agility Technique is very unusual. Do you recognize who has it?"
Yun Yun frowned, her expression stern as she replied, "I do not-"
However, before Yun Yun could finish her sentence, a presence shook the air near them.
Instantly, El's figure appeared without warning, breaking through the gap between them at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to follow.
White Fire shot out like a flash of hot purple light, splitting the air with deadly precision, aiming straight for Yan Shi who stood behind Gu He.
DAANG!
A loud resounded as the two metal blades met, deafening. With sharp fighting instincts, Yan Shi managed to block El's slash using the greatsword in his hand.
Sparks flashed wildly as their blades clashed together, scraping the air with flashes of light.
However, El's strength was so dominating. The shock of the impact sent Yan Shi reeling to the ground, creating a deep crater trail, showing how powerful the attack had been.
