"Yan Jin?"
"Chief Yan Jin?"
"What exactly is going on?"
Yao Tian and Lei Dong looked at each other, clearly both confused about what had happened.
"A remnant soul..."
Xiao Xuan quickly realized that this Yan Jin was not the real Yan Jin; he was a remnant soul just like himself.
"That Huo Xuan guy, it seems he's been hiding a lot from us!"
Yao Tian looked at the remnant soul of Yan Jin and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that Huo Xuan would actually carry the remnant soul of Yan Jin. In that case, they were not without a chance of winning against Xiao Xuan's remnant soul.
"No wonder he dared to challenge Xiao Xuan; it turns out he has such a powerful backing!"
Lei Dong said in a deep voice.
When Huo Xuan decided to take action against Xiao Xuan, he was inspired by the fragment of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map. Since the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint could separate his remnant soul and seal it in the Demon Fire Remnant Map, and help Xiao Yan resist the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame a thousand years later, why couldn't he follow the example of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint Dou Sheng carry the remnant soul of the clan leader to deal with Xiao Xuan?
Yao Tian and Lei Dong brought secret weapons from their respective clans that were the strongest attacks of their clan leaders. However, Huo Xuan begged Yan Jin to split off a remnant soul of a Dou Sheng from himself, and to use the remnant soul of Nine Star Dou Sheng to fight against Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan and Yan Jin, two figures from the same era, unexpectedly meet again in this way!
"Brother Xiao, it's been a long time."
"Yan Jin" stared at Xiao Xuan and spoke first. His calm voice echoed in the space, faintly revealing a pressure that was no less than that of Xiao Xuan.
"Why?"
With his hands clenched into fists, Xiao Xuan asked with a chill in his heart.
"Weren't we brothers back then? Why are you persecuting my Xiao Clan like this!"
Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and Yan Jin were figures of the same era, the most dazzling geniuses of the Eight Clans of their time, and they once ventured across the continent together in their youth.
Although they weren't exactly brothers in arms, they were very good friends.
Now it seems like all those brothers who would die for each other, all those best friends, were just fair-weather friends!
Times change.
When the Xiao Clan was at its peak, after the extermination of the Hun Clan, everyone came to curry favor with them. But when the Xiao Clan declined, no one was willing to lend them a helping hand. Instead, they disregarded gratitude and began to take advantage of their misfortune, persecuting members of the Xiao Clan.
Gu Yuan, relying on his alliance, seized all of the Xiao Clan's resources, completely forgetting his original vows. Yan Jin and Lei Ying, those two guys, their descendants actually have designs on him!
Xiao Xuan never imagined that, after a thousand years of being dead, there would still be someone who valued him so highly.
Yan Jin even acted as an accomplice!
To be honest, Xiao Xuan didn't want to believe this fact.
"It seems you already knew..."
"Brother Xiao, family comes first. As fellow clan leaders, you surely understand this principle!"
Yan Jin said calmly.
"Yes! Family comes first!"
Born into Ancient Eight Clans, as the clan leader, how could Xiao Xuan not understand this principle? Back then, when he made a desperate decision to break through to the Dou Di, wasn't it also for the sake of his clan?
"Further words are useless; let's have a good fight today!"
"Huo Xuan... you brat, you really don't know your own limitations, you actually dared to attack Xiao Xuan..."
Yan Jin silently reprimanded Huo Xuan in his heart, then floated out of Huo Xuan's body, delivered the still unconscious Huo Xuan to Yao Tian and Lei Dong, and then began to fight Xiao Xuan!
In an instant, a great battle was about to break out!
Dealing with Xiao Xuan was something Yan Jin hadn't expected. Back then, Huo Xuan asked him for the remnant soul of Dou Sheng, saying he was afraid that Gu Yuan would kill them. The remnant soul of Dou Sheng was supposed to be used to guard against Gu Yuan, but unexpectedly it was used to deal with Xiao Xuan.
Today there is no victory or defeat, only life and death!
Yan Jin looked at Xiao Xuan, and his expression became slightly complicated as he thought of this. If they were not the patriarchs of their respective clans, and if they were not born into the Ancient Eight Clans, they might have become sworn brothers. However, unfortunately, their identities had already determined that they could not act according to their own will.
Whether it was him or Gu Yuan, their respective races always came first in their hearts.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Every time Xiao Xuan and Yan Jin clashed, a series of heavy explosions would resound in this space.
A powerful pressure emanated from the two of them, sweeping across a radius of a hundred miles like a violent storm!
The oppressive force generated by the battle between the two high-level Dou Sheng Expert permeated half of the Third Layer. At this moment, most of the Energy Body in the Third Layer felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
The numerous Energy Body, sensing this oppressive force, were greatly alarmed and all turned their gazes toward the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, but none dared to venture inside.
"Who on earth is this person? How dare they enter Lord Xiao Xuan 'Xiao Xuan territory and even fight with him? Aren't they courting death?"
"Yes! Who can argue with that?"
"That arrogant fool, of all things to do, he had to provoke that scoundrel..."
"However, to be fair, that guy is quite powerful to be able to fight such a commotion against the evil star."
Xiao Xuan and Yan Jin clashed in the sky. Each exchange brought with it an extremely violent Energy Storm. Under the ravages of the Energy Storm, apart from Xiao Xuan's tombstone, only a medicine cauldron covered with various strange patterns remained in this space. Everything else was destroyed beyond recognition.
"Huo Xuan, you rascal, you kept this from us for so long! I was wondering how you dared to challenge Xiao Xuan? Turns out you brought your clan leader along!"
Inside the medicine cauldron, Yao Tian turned his gaze from the sky to Huo Xuan, who had already awakened.
"Hehe, if I didn't have some trump cards, how would I dare to attack Xiao Xuan?" Huo Xuan then turned his gaze to Lei Dong and said, "Give me Clan Chief Lei Ying's full-force attack. I want to use it as a gift to send Xiao Xuan on his way."
Upon hearing this, Lei Dong was slightly taken aback. Then, he casually tossed the Jade Stone containing Lei Ying's full-force attack into Huo Xuan's hand.
"Let's end this battle as soon as possible!"
Huo Xuan gripped the Jade Stone in his hand tightly and stepped out of the medicine cauldron without the slightest hesitation.
The moment Huo Xuan stepped out of the medicine cauldron, he reacted extremely quickly. The Strange Fire within his body suddenly circulated, enveloping every part of his body and helping Huo Xuan resist the still raging, intense Energy Storm.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan was fighting Yan Jin with all his might, and his attention was entirely focused on Yan Jin, whose weakness was right behind him.
Seizing the opportunity, Huo Xuan threw the Jade Stone in his hand at Xiao Xuan without hesitation.
When the Jade Stone arrived, it exploded right behind Xiao Xuan!
The Jade Stone shattered, and a fierce attack was launched instantly. A giant palm of dazzling lightning suddenly appeared and struck Xiao Xuan mercilessly!
A full-force attack from Eight Star Dou Sheng at his peak is no joke!
With a single palm strike, Xiao Xuan was clearly seriously injured. Seeing Xiao Xuan's severe injury, Yan Jin seized the opportunity, and the previously stalemate in the battle suddenly shifted.
Xiao Xuan had already suffered considerable injuries in his battle with Yan Jin, and the sneak attack only exacerbated his condition. Now, facing Yan Jin's fierce offensive, he was being forced to retreat steadily and was powerless to resist.
Yan Jin flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Xuan. Without the slightest hesitation, he struck Xiao Xuan's chest with all his might!
"Boom!"
The powerful attack landed with a deafening roar, and Xiao Xuan seemed to lose his balance, plummeting rapidly from the sky!
"Despicable and shameless!"
