"Everything is ready; now we just need the finishing touch."
After sending the other half of the Chu Yun Empire poison master's corpse and a letter to the gates of the Chu Yun military camp, Xiao Lin immediately launched the next phase of his plan.
This next step was the key to whether Xiao Lin could bait the two tigers into fighting each other without exposing himself!
One must know that the general leading the Chu Yun Empire's troops was also a Dou Wang powerhouse. Although the opponent was only a Five-Star Dou Wang—making his strength slightly inferior to Mo Ya's—he had another identity: he was a Poison Master!
Naturally, as a Poison Master, the Dou Qi attribute he used was certainly poisonous. Those who possess Poison Attribute Dou Qi are capable of fighting above their level, provided they are not being countered by a specific element.
As for Mo Ya, six years ago, he was only a Six-Star Dou Wang.
However, a year ago, along with the start of his cooperation with the Chu Yun Empire, the other side had generously gifted him a Tier 5 Pill, a Dou Ling Pill, as an initial investment. This allowed Mo Ya to break through to the level of Seven-Star Dou Wang.
Even though Mo Ya's strength was a notch above the Chu Yun General's, if the two truly ended up fighting as Xiao Lin hoped, the Chu Yun General's poison Dou Qi would be troublesome enough to allow him to contend with Mo Ya despite being a Five-Star Dou Wang.
Therefore, if the two were to clash, Xiao Lin was betting on both sides perishing together.
Of course, to achieve his intended goal, it all depended on Xiao Lin's subsequent maneuvering. After completing the preliminary work, Xiao Lin set off immediately, rushing toward the Black Rock Mountain Range.
At this moment, the benefit of Xiao Lin moving separately from Mu Chen and the others became apparent. Or rather, right from the start of the plan, this step had already been calculated by Xiao Lin. Because Xiao Lin did not want his upcoming actions to be seen by anyone else!
Since Xiao Lin had previously instructed the group of Da Dou Shi led by Mu Chen to travel slowly, they were currently still on the road to the Black Rock Mountain Range.
As for Xiao Lin, by relying on his Dou Huang cultivation, he not only reached the vicinity of the Black Rock Mountain Range first but also quietly slipped inside.
"So this is the Black Rock Mountain Range? It really is a good place for killing, looting, and framing others!"
Looking at the surrounding rocks shimmering with a dark light, the withered trees on the cliff walls, and the snakes, insects, and poisonous ants crawling by from time to time, Xiao Lin finally understood why this place earned its name.
This place looked like an ominous land at first glance!
Crows and vultures circled in the sky occasionally, and on both sides of the mountain paths, there were countless animal and human bones. To be honest, unless necessary, even Xiao Lin didn't want to stay here for long.
But there was no choice; the plan had to be executed here.
"Now then, let me see exactly where that elite squad from the Chu Yun Empire is hiding."
As Xiao Lin's Soul Power radiated outward, he personally walked slowly into the depths of the Black Rock Mountain Range.
As for Nalan Jie and the others, they were naturally blocked in the deepest part of the mountain range. As Xiao Lin moved deeper into the Black Rock Mountain Range, he began to discover signs of human activity in this place that was originally a desolate, uninhabited land.
Clearly, if he went further in, he would definitely see people!
Seeing this, Xiao Lin's eyes flashed.
He had no intention of hiding and walked in quite openly.
Of course, to ensure the feasibility of his plan, Xiao Lin had changed his outfit. Dressed in black night-walking clothes with a black cloth covering his face and a long sword in his hand, he didn't look like a good person no matter how one looked at him...
Well, that was the thought in the minds of the Chu Yun Empire people here when Xiao Lin's image fell into their eyes.
"Is this one of ours?"
One Da Dou Shi couldn't help but ask the companion beside him.
"Idiot, how is that possible?"
Someone replied.
"Then what do we do?"
Another person asked again.
"Go ask the leader. Anyway, we've been blocking that Jia Ma Empire squad for over a month now. Their rescuers should be arriving soon. It's better to let the leader decide on this matter."
This sentence gained everyone's agreement.
Very quickly, the leader of this elite squad, which was also composed of hundreds of people from the Chu Yun Empire, arrived at the scene.
This was also an Eight-Star Dou Ling powerhouse!
Behind him followed roughly ten or so Dou Ling. This level of force had actually already surpassed the squad led by Nalan Jie.
It was no wonder Nalan Jie's squad had been besieged in the depths of the Black Rock Mountain Range. This Eight-Star Dou Ling leader from the Chu Yun Empire also discovered Xiao Lin's tracks the moment he arrived.
After all, Xiao Lin had walked in so boldly that it would have been hard not to notice him.
"Regardless of whether the other party is one of ours or not, surround him first!"
After thinking for a moment, the Eight-Star Dou Ling leader of the Chu Yun Empire issued the command.
In his view, regardless of whether this fellow in black night-walking clothes was one of them, it couldn't be wrong to bring him under control first. As for whether they could defeat him, frankly, he hadn't doubted it at all.
After all, with a lineup like theirs, even a low-level Dou Wang might not necessarily be able to do anything to them! He didn't think a random Dou Wang powerhouse would come to a godforsaken place like the Black Rock Mountain Range.
Following the order of the Eight-Star Dou Ling leader, figures flickered in the surroundings. In a short while, Xiao Lin had been completely surrounded.
"Yo, I thought you were going to keep hiding like cowards?"
Seeing himself surrounded by a hundred or so people with at least Da Dou Shi cultivation, Xiao Lin didn't show the slightest expression of fear; instead, he couldn't help but speak mockingly.
At the same time, with Xiao Lin's words, this group from the Chu Yun Empire confirmed that the other party was an enemy, not a friend!
In that case, what more was there to say? Wasn't the purpose of their ambush here to completely annihilate Nalan Jie's squad and the subsequent reinforcements like Mu Chen?
Therefore, the news absolutely could not be leaked to anyone else!
Even if other people were passing by this place, they held the principle of "better to kill by mistake than to let them go."
"Humph, I don't care who you are. The moment you stepped into the Black Rock Mountain Range, you were already a dead man!"
As the voice of the Eight-Star Dou Ling leader fell, the others in the surroundings also prepared to strike.
"Is that so? I'm waiting."
Xiao Lin still acted with an air of indifference.
At the same time, the group from the Chu Yun Empire swarmed forward all at once.
"Poison Lotus Flower!"
"Ten Thousand Poison Palm!"
"Water Cloud Break!"
"Raging Fire Heart-Piercing Fist!"
"Thousand Overlapping Waves!"
...
All sorts of Dou Techniques were smashed toward Xiao Lin in one go at this moment.
Rumble!
A massive booming sound echoed, and billowing thick smoke swept in all directions.
However, before a look of joy could appear on the faces of the Chu Yun Empire crowd, the dust cleared to reveal Xiao Lin. Not even a single fold was visible on the corner of his clothes, and he appeared in everyone's sight with starlight shimmering across his body.
The principle of "smoke but no damage" was demonstrated perfectly at this moment. Upon seeing this scene, the pupils of that Eight-Star Dou Ling from the Chu Yun Empire couldn't help but shrink.
He knew that he had absolutely kicked a steel plate this time.
To be able to take the attacks of a hundred Da Dou Shi—including ten or so Dou Ling—and endure it head-on without even moving an inch... this strength was absolutely not something they could deal with.
"This is at least the cultivation of a High-level Dou Wang, or possibly even a..."
The last two words were stuck in the throat of the Eight-Star Dou Ling.
To be honest, it was truly hard for him to imagine how a High-level Dou Wang or even a Dou Huang powerhouse could appear in such a place.
This was simply beyond ridiculous!
Therefore, after thinking of this, his feet had already begun to retreat unconsciously. They could absolutely not handle such an enemy, and he did not want to die!
"Are you finished? Next, it's my turn!"
Xiao Lin chuckled lightly, his right hand already raised high into the air.
Immediately after, his right hand slammed down violently as a low shout came from his mouth: "Starry Grand Seal!"
Unlike the previous instant-kill of the Chu Yun poison master, this time, Xiao Lin utilized Dou Huang level power.
In the next second, a hundred-meter giant palm shimmering with endless starlight crashed down. This strike encompassed everyone from the Chu Yun Empire except for that Eight-Star Dou Ling.
Rumble!
A Dou Technique even more terrifying than the combined attacks of the Chu Yun crowd exploded in the middle section of the Black Rock Mountain Range.
Instantly, everything within a hundred-meter radius ceased to exist. Even the ground had sunk by at least more than a meter!
With just this one strike, Xiao Lin's palm exterminated everyone present except for the Eight-star Dou Ling he had intentionally left alive.
The power of a Dou Huang was truly terrifying!
