"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Seeing Xiao Yan in danger, Xun'er immediately cried out in alarm.

"Crunch"

Not far from Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian also clenched her fists, looking worriedly at Xiao Yan in the square.

As for the others, some remained calm, such as Xiao Lin.

Although some didn't show it as obviously as Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian, the anxiety revealed in their eyes and on their faces was still obvious!

This group included Xiao Yan's parents, Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, as well as his teacher, Yao Lao.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were initially very worried about their younger brother, but after seeing their grandfather remain as calm as a mountain, they calmed down.

After all, if Xiao Yan were truly in danger, his grandfather would never have reacted this way!

Xiao Yi Xian belongs to the type who gets confused by concern.

She then secretly glanced at Xiao Lin and, seeing her Grandpa Xiao's calm expression, slowly recovered.

As for the others, some cheered for Xiao Yan, while others, thinking he was about to lose, showed expressions of regret.

In addition to Xiao Lin and others, the other audience members also had various expressions at this moment.

Yan Clan.

"What a pity, I thought that Xiao Yan could really take on eight people at once."

Huo Zhi's tone was tinged with regret.

"Little sister, you haven't fallen for this Xiao Yan, have you?"

Seeing the regret in her younger sister's voice, Huo Xuan immediately felt a jolt of alarm in her heart.

Seeing this, Huo Zhi rolled her eyes at her silly older brother!

Stone Clan.

Shi Yun and Yan Longzi were actually surprised by the combat power that Xiao Yan had displayed.

However, seeing that Xiao Yan is about to lose, they are actually more able to accept it.

"Even if Xiao Yan loses this battle, he is still comparable to the most outstanding young talents of our various Great Emperor clans."

The Shi Yun opened its mouth in evaluation.

Yan Longzi nodded in agreement.

Yao Clan.

"Heh, I knew it! How could that disciple of the Yao Clan's outcast possibly defeat the three Grand Commanders and five Generals of the Gu Clan in one fell swoop? That kid was just boasting, and now he's about to be proven wrong, isn't he? Serves him right! He should die at the hands of the Gu Clan!"

Yao Ji of the Yao Clan still had that same face that wanted to trample Yao Lao and Xiao Yan into the ground.

For an older generation to utter such vicious words to a younger generation only shows that their manners need improvement!

Therefore, Yao Xingji and Yao Chuan quietly moved a little further away from Yao Ji.

Hun Clan.

Hun Ya and Hun Li, who had been looking grim, breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Xiao Yan fall into danger and be about to be defeated.

To be honest, when Xiao Yan defeated Ling Quan, Gu Feng, Yang Hao, and Gu Bi in a 1v8 battle, the two of them were almost scared to death!

After all, their strength was actually only about the same as that of Gu Hua, Gu Xing, and Gu Yao.

They are all confident of winning in a one-on-one fight, but if it comes to a 1v8, they should probably think about where they're going to end up.

It can be said that Xiao Yan's displayed strength far exceeded their expectations!

They knew they couldn't do what Xiao Yan did—defeat four people quickly in a 1v8 situation!

"... Hun Ya, I don't think you need to wait until you reach the Heavenly Tomb to kill Xiao Yan. It's good that he died here!"

Hun Li's expression was very serious.

"Hehehe, then let's just say that Xiao Yan was lucky enough not to have a chance to meet me!"

Hun Ya is the type where a person dies but their mouth remains.

Seeing this, Hun Li said nothing more.

Finally, on the Gu Clan's side, all the young prodigies showed excitement on their faces.

"Great! We're going to win!"

"Let's stop that brat Xiao Yan from being so arrogant!"

"Heh, if he had only fought the Gu Yao one-on-one, his chances of winning would have been quite high, what a pity..."

"Trying to take on eight opponents at once? How naive!"

"However, Xiao Yan is quite impressive, managing to defeat four commanders— Ling Quan, Gu Feng, Yang Hao, and Gu Bi— in a 1v8 situation!"

"But that's where Xiao Yan's story ends!"

It's clear that the Gu Clan's prodigies were harboring resentment because of Xiao Yan's earlier arrogance.

At this moment, they felt a sense of triumph.

However, among the group of the Gu Clan prodigies, only Gu Qingyang and Ling Quan remained unchanged in their expressions.

Gu Qingyang didn't think Xiao Yan would be defeated so easily, while Ling Quan, after being defeated by Xiao Yan, was now somewhat on Xiao Yan's side...

He wanted to see Xiao Yan go even further!

"Xiao Yan, you can't possibly be defeated like this, can you?"

Ling Quan thought to himself silently.

As for the Elders of the Gu Clan, those who did not support Xiao Yan being with their young lady naturally all showed joy on their faces.

However, a considerable number of the Elders of the Gu Clans were no longer so opposed to the two being together.

Therefore, at this moment, all the Elders of the Gu Clan must be harboring various thoughts.

On the plaza, Xiao Yan, who was currently in a dangerous situation, naturally had no time to care about what the people below were thinking.

Seeing his body being pulled down by the vines in the vortex beneath his feet, and with two silver spears about to pierce him, he dared not be distracted in the slightest!

"Wood Attribute Dou Qi? That's quite rare. But that won't do anything to me!"

A soft whisper came from Xiao Yan's mouth.

"Hehe~"

The instant Xiao Yan's whispered words fell, three-colored flames suddenly appeared on his body!

The azure Green Lotus Core Flame coiled around Xiao Yan's right hand, while the deep red Myriad Beast Spirit Flame coiled around his left hand. Beneath his feet, a pool of blue Sea Heart Flame appeared, resembling flowing water!

The moment the Sea Heart Flame appeared beneath Xiao Yan's feet, the vines that had been wrapped around him instantly turned to ashes.

"Slap," "Slap"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan planted the Heavy Xuan Ruler into the ground around him, and then, facing the two silver spears that were attacking him, he directly extended his left and right hands, which were respectively wrapped in the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame!

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Yan managed to grab the tips of the two silver spears with his bare hands.

This scene left all the surrounding audience members completely stunned.

Clearly, no one expected Xiao Yan's response to be so brutal and simple.

Yes, Xiao Yan easily accepted what most people considered a deadly trap!

Because, at this moment, the two silver spears held by Xiao Yan could no longer advance even an inch.

"Hiss~"

"Tick-tock, tick-tock~"

Moreover, the terrifyingly high temperature brought by the Heavenly Flames had already scorched the tips of the two silver spears into a pool of molten iron that dripped onto the ground in the blink of an eye.

"How is that possible? ×2"

Upon witnessing this scene, gasps of surprise escaped from Gu Yao and Lin Xiu almost simultaneously.

"Hehe, nothing is impossible."

A soft laugh reached their ears clearly at that moment.

Then, the two saw two fists glowing with fire, enlarging in front of them.
