Although it's rare to see a Dou Zhe slay a Dou Shi, the continent has numerous geniuses, and such occurrences, though uncommon, are not unheard of. Some peerless talents in the Dou Zhe realm have achieved the feat of defeating Dou Shi.

However, simultaneously slaying three Dou Shi’s, let alone doing so in a split second, was an event unknown to them on the continent. It was an absolute first for them.

The sword strike didn't just slay Dou Shi’s; it also reshaped their worldview. It revealed that Dou Zhe’s could reach such extraordinary heights.

With a pale face, Lu Yunxiao sheathed his sword. After a prolonged battle, coupled with executing the One Sword Across Worlds technique and the recent strike that traversed through time and space, his energy was dwindling. Yet, his spirit remained remarkably high.

This strike across space truly lived up to its name as a Di rank technique, possessing astonishingly immense power.

Unfortunately, its flaws are significant. While the strike gets stronger with practice, the skyrocketing power puts an enormous strain on the body. If the body can't bear it, it will explode, leading to death. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to keep it hidden all this while, sighed Lu Yunxiao inwardly. The idea of modifying the technique weighed heavily on his mind.

Eliminating the drawbacks of this technique would undoubtedly make it a potent weapon, especially in the early stages where its power would be unrivaled.

However, the technique remained a Di rank technique. Despite his exceptional understanding, ridding it of its flaws wasn't a simple task. Learning martial arts and altering them were entirely different matters.

Thus, he needed more experience to enhance his martial arts knowledge and insight.

With his mindset, Lu Yunxiao shifted his gaze toward the three headless bodies in front of him. His expression remained calm and indifferent.

"Antagonists perish due to excessive talk, or they perish due to underestimating their opponents. If you had attacked directly without much fuss, I might not have had the chance to use this technique," Lu Yunxiao shook his head. This incident taught him a vital lesson: when it's time to strike, one must be resolute and decisive. Otherwise, there's a high chance of being counterattacked due to complacency.

Learning from past mistakes serves as a lesson for the future! If he encounters enemies in the future, he will undoubtedly decisively eliminate them, leaving no room for the enemy to retaliate.

"Ah!"

Just as Lu Yunxiao's thoughts surged, a voice filled with agony erupted. His gaze shifted, spotting a figure hurtling straight towards him.

Observing this figure, Lu Yunxiao's expression changed. He swiftly caught her, but the accompanying force pushed him back several steps before stabilizing.

"Teacher Ruo Ling, are you alright?" Lu Yunxiao hurriedly inquired, concern evident in his tone.

"I'm... fine..." Teacher Ruo Ling struggled to speak, yet blood uncontrollably spilled from her mouth, staining Lu Yunxiao's white attire, a stark crimson that was chilling to behold.

Lu Yunxiao's expression turned grim. Seeing her condition, it was apparent that Teacher Ruo Ling was seriously injured.

"Engaging me in battle and still daring to be distracted; this is your outcome!" a robust and domineering voice echoed. Lu Yunxiao couldn't help but look up, facing a middle-aged man clad in black attire.

His appearance was ordinary, but the purple armor covering him made Lu Yunxiao's eyes narrow, his face turning incredibly grave.

"Da Dou Shi!" Lu Yunxiao spoke lightly, his eyes filled with apprehension.

In the dim sky, three streaks of light swiftly passed by. Each had magnificent wings behind them, propelling their figures swiftly through the clouds.

Dou Qi Wings; a feat achievable only by those above Dou Wang level, these three were at least Dou Wang’s.

"Elders Li and Zhao, let's hasten our speed. It's been a while; I fear Zhang Yuyan and the others won't hold on much longer," the leading middle-aged man said as fiery red wings vibrated behind him, his voice calm.

"We understand, Captain Huang!" With those words, the two elders beside the middle-aged man nodded. Their wings vibrated vigorously, accelerating their speed once more.

Compared to third-rank Griffin Beasts, the speed of Dou Wang was more than ten times faster. Coupled with the weight of people they carried; the Griffins were even slower. This contrast meant that Dou Wang’s speed was nearly twenty times faster.

The Black Broken Mountain Range wasn't far from Peace Town. The Griffins would take nearly a day to reach there, but for the Dou Wang, at most half an hour, and with these three moving at full speed, the time could be significantly shortened.

This was why the Jia Nan Academy dispatched Dou Wang to aid. If they sent an ordinary team, by the time they arrived, it would likely be too late.

Among these three sent for aid, two were elders from the Jia Nan Academy's Outer Court. The one leading them, Captain Huang, was the deputy leader of the Jia Nan Academy's Law Enforcement Team, an eight-star Dou Wang. In the entire Black-Corner Region, he was a renowned figure.

Sending him was a testament to the Jia Nan Academy's seriousness about this incident.

After about five to six minutes, a towering mountain range was already visible in the distance.

"Captain Huang, we're nearing the Black Broken Mountain Range," one elder remarked, expressing a hint of surprise in his voice.

"Good, let's increase our speed a bit more and prepare to land." Captain Huang acknowledged, his wings vibrating as his figure accelerated.

...

With a bang, two figures were thrown violently and crashed onto the ground.

Lu Yunxiao spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling his internal organs burning. A dull ache resided in his chest, almost unbearable.

The base of his right hand had already ruptured, blood staining the hilt of his Rainbow Flying Sword. His white attire was dust-covered, his long hair in disarray, presenting a rather miserable sight.

Beside him, Teacher Ruo Ling trembled, her face deathly pale. Blood flowed from her mouth, mirroring a heavily injured state.

Glancing concernedly at Teacher Ruo Ling, Lu Yunxiao struggled slightly, feeling weak all over. Even standing seemed challenging.

“A Da Dou Shi is indeed a Great Fighter. They're still too strong for me at this point," muttered Lu Yunxiao wryly. He was still somewhat weak. Coupled with Teacher Ruo Ling's help, they were completely outclassed by the opposing Da Dou Shi.

They joined forces but were subdued by the Da Dou Shi in less than a hundred moves.
