After the Annihilation Profound Qi Finger was broken, the Half-Saint attacking from within the void was surprised too.
He could sense that Xiao Yan had not reached the Half-Saint realm. Breaking his attack with Heavenly Flames while still a Dou Venerable was absurd, wasn't it?
Heavenly Flames were powerful, but the gap between a Half-Saint and a Dou Venerable was even greater than the gap between a Dou Emperor and a Dou Zong. Even five Peak Dou Venerables working together would be no match for him.
Surprised or not, the Half-Saint struck again. A massive hand emerged from the void and shattered the weakened Five-Wheel Flame Separation Disc.
Protected by a Dou Qi barrier the Half-Saint had raised, Ling Quan stared at Xiao Yan, who had exchanged a blow with a Half-Saint without coming off worse. Shock and disbelief filled his eyes.
"How is this possible? That's a Half-Saint! Below the Dou Sheng realm, who could stand against one except someone at the same level? Why? Why is Xiao Yan, that remnant of the Xiao Clan, so strong?!"
Alongside his shock, envy and jealousy burned through Ling Quan. He wanted nothing more than to kill Xiao Yan then and there.
Even in the Ancient Clan, no one had ever withstood a Half-Saint's attack while still a Dou Venerable. Yet Xiao Yan, a remnant of the Xiao Clan whom Ling Quan considered lowborn, had done just that!
Worse, Xiao Yan had grown stronger. Ling Quan could not gauge his exact strength, but the aura he gave off made it clear that his power had risen tremendously.
Even Gu Yao, the Shura Commander Ling Quan had met, had not given off an aura as powerful as Xiao Yan's.
But how could that be? Gaining even one star in the Dou Zun Realm
