Seeing Gu Xun'er focused on battling the ferocious beasts, with Xiao Yan following close beside her, Hun Changqing decided to give it a try. A silver gleam flickered through his eyes, and an equally dazzling silver light immediately surfaced in the eyes of Xiao Yan, who was desperately fighting the beasts around him.
As the silver light flickered, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Xiao Yan's body, instantly blasting the beast before him into bloody chunks of flesh. Then, paying no further attention to its gruesome remains, Xiao Yan slowly walked toward Gu Xun'er's back, his movements somewhat stiff.
Xiao Yan silently approached Gu Xun'er from behind, his face blank and silver radiance swirling in his eyes. He raised his palm and gathered energy, but rather than the fire-attribute energy he cultivated, a glowing mass of energy bearing an aura of utmost yin appeared.
The force it radiated was far beyond anything Xiao Yan's current Three-Star Dou Zun cultivation could produce. This energy had already reached a terrifying level sufficient to threaten a Half-Saint's life.
The energy surged to its peak in an instant. Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan thrust his palm toward the center of Gu Xun'er's back, intent on killing her with a single strike.
Not far away, seeing Xiao Yan successfully launch his strike, Hun Changqing no longer hesitated either. His figure flashed toward Gu Xun'er, Supreme Yin True Qi instantly gathering in his hand as he likewise struck at her with his palm.
Perhaps anyone would struggle to react to a sudden attack from someone close to them, but Xiao Yan had long since lost his place in Gu Xun'er's heart. She had only kept him beside her to see what Hun Changqing was plotting, so her vigilance toward Xiao Yan had never diminished.
