The mysterious dark figure pressing down on the Xuan Heavy Ruler before Xiao Yan, along with the sudden battle between You Ruo and Vulture Protector, seemed to portend something...
As Hai Bodong and the others watched the indistinct figures in the distant sky, a faint sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.
Xiao Yan stared in horror at the mysterious Black-Robed Man gripping his Xuan Heavy Ruler. If his teacher had not warned him, he might have...
Time rewound to the instant of the explosion between Xiao Yan and Yun Shan.
Feeling his Flame Splitting Wave Ruler crush Yun Shan's attack like a force sweeping through rotten wood, Xiao Yan smiled confidently. He then directed its power toward Yun Shan, unleashing it in a torrent.
Now that he, too, was in the Dou Zong realm, Xiao Yan could naturally defeat Yun Shan with the might of his Earth Tier Dou Technique and heavenly flames.
But just as Xiao Yan pressed his advantage, intending to kill Yun Shan outright, Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang out.
"Look out! Retreat!"
Before Xiao Yan could react to Yao Lao's warning, a pitch-black surge of energy shot straight toward his back.
Fortunately, Yao Lao was there. Although Xiao Yan had left an opening, Yao Lao hastily formed a wall behind him with his formidable soul power.
Bang!
The wall lasted only an instant, but Xiao Yan seized that brief opening to twist around and swing his Xuan Heavy Ruler at his attacker.
Then came the scene everyone had witnessed: the Black-Robed Man effortlessly stopped Xiao Yan's swinging Xuan Heavy Ruler.
"Peak One-Star Dou Zong!"
Feeling the pressure emanating from the man before him, Xiao Yan judged his strength.
"Who are you?!"
Xiao Yan had never expected his opponent to have another trump card like this.
