"Bang!"
With a single foot of force, a demonic beast charging directly in front of Xiao Yan instantly died. However, countless demonic beasts continued to charge madly afterward, their roars echoing endlessly, causing the valley below to tremble incessantly. It was unclear whether this was due to the sheer number of demonic beasts or the vibrations caused by their roars.
At this moment, Xiao Yan stood proudly at the top of the valley, surrounded by demonic beasts on all sides. Fierce attacks came from all directions, with fangs, claws, and Dou Qi energy shooting out continuously, all aimed at Xiao Yan Xiao Yan seeking to kill him.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Yan remained calm. He gripped the giant ruler in one hand and swept it horizontally. At the same time, he swept the edge of the ruler with the other hand, and a pale white flame rose up instantly. With a fierce aura, it swept across his front, and almost instantly, all the demonic beasts that rushed in front of Xiao Yan were repelled.
Almost simultaneously, as the giant ruler swept across, the hand gripping the handle suddenly released its grip, and Xiao Yan's figure also abruptly turned backward. In an extremely bizarre posture, just as the giant ruler was about to fall, his other hand suddenly gripped the handle, and surging Dou Qi immediately poured into the giant ruler. Then, with another sweeping strike, all the demonic beasts in front of and behind him were wiped out in the blink of an eye!
However, just as Xiao Yan had swept away one wave, several more demonic beasts rushed in from all directions. Xiao Yan blasted several away with a single kick, and then, in a leap, he stepped on the head of another demonic beast, twisted his body, and kicked it away as well.
In just a few hours, Xiao Yan blasted away over a hundred demonic beasts and killed dozens of them, but the surrounding demonic beasts seemed endless, constantly surging in.
However, this situation did not seem to wear down Xiao Yan's patience; on the contrary, it strengthened the fervent fighting spirit in his heart.
Wielding the giant ruler in his hand, Xiao Yan engaged in a brutal and exhilarating battle against so many magical beasts, allowing his power to be fully displayed. In a way, this violent fighting style also had some advantages for Xiao Yan himself.
Suddenly, while Xiao Yan was fiercely clashing at the top of the valley, below, at the entrance, a demonic beast attempted to step over the corpse of the previous beast to enter the valley. Instantly, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. He kicked the demonic beast away, and at the same time, his own figure leaped into the air. With a fierce swing of his giant ruler, the ruler flew out of his hand and immediately plummeted down at lightning speed. Just as the demonic beast was about to enter the valley, it forcefully froze its body at the entrance, killing it and blocking the only entrance into the valley.
Immediately afterwards, countless demonic beasts surged even more frantically around Xiao Yan Xiao Yan. Without his weapon, these giants were less wary of him, and they bared their sharp fangs, tearing fiercely at Xiao Yan's body.
However, they underestimated the human standing before them.
" Strength Elephant Art, Golden Elephant Art, activate!"
Immediately afterward, as Xiao Yan descended, he also let out a low shout in his heart.
Almost simultaneously, the formidable physical power hidden within Xiao Yan's body was fully unleashed.
A golden protective aura condensed on Xiao Yan's body. As the demonic beasts charged, he simply swung his fists, striking the oncoming beasts head-on. Instantly, even more agonizing roars than before echoed from the horde of demonic beasts.
Compared to before, Xiao Yan now seemed invincible with his fists. Any attack was quickly and easily defeated by Xiao Yan's punches.
In the valley, Xue Mian stared wide-eyed at Xiao Yan at the top. The shock that had been in his eyes had disappeared with the passage of time, leaving only his face stiff and contorted as if he were having a spasm.
Soon, a day had passed, and there were less than two days left until the seven days Xiao Xuan had mentioned.
In the small valley, Hai Ling'er's breakthrough process was not yet over, which meant that Xiao Yan and Xue Mian would have to wait there.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, deep in the valley, couldn't help but worry. If the time dragged on for too long, it would not be good for them. With less than two days left, he wasn't sure if he could get the two of them out of the Undersea Void Realm. He could only say that if Hai Ling'er's breakthrough couldn't be completed in time, he would have no choice but to take her away by force. They absolutely could not stay here any longer.
Finally, around noon, the surging energy of heaven and earth around Hai Ling'er, who had been in a breakthrough state in the valley, gradually calmed down, and the aura within her body stabilized at the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di.
After being closed for more than ten days, a pair of beautiful eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of icy blue, crystal-clear eyes to the air. The girl slowly stood up, her long dress fluttering gently, revealing a pair of slender, fair legs beneath. Her curvaceous and graceful figure was also displayed to the fullest at this moment.
" Ling'er, you've broken through!"
As the girl stood up, Xue Mian finally snapped out of his daze and rushed to her side, carefully helping her down the Bluestone Platform while asking her questions with concern.
Upon hearing this, the girl blushed slightly and nodded, then said:
"Brother Xue Mian, thank you so much for protecting me these past few days. Otherwise, I don't know if I would have been able to break through in peace."
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, Xue Mian first scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, and then said somewhat awkwardly:
"Actually... that's not entirely true. I could easily handle the magical beasts from a few days ago, but since the day before yesterday, the number of magical beasts gathering here has been increasing, and I've become unable to resist them..."
At the end, Xue Mian lowered his head, feeling a pang of self-reproach. Seeing this, Hai Ling'er frowned slightly, puzzled. If Xue Mian said he had been unable to resist those magical beasts since the day before yesterday, what happened in the next day or two?
"It was that person, that human named Xiao Yan. He suddenly appeared the day before yesterday and single-handedly held off all the demonic beasts outside."
Suddenly, Xue Mian looked up and pointed to the highest point of the valley. Through the cave entrance there, the two of them could clearly see a figure surrounded by golden light, constantly swinging his fists and blasting away the approaching demonic beasts one by one.
Sensing the gazes of the two people in the valley below, Xiao Yan knew that Hai Ling'er had completed her breakthrough, and now it was finally time for her to leave.
Lowering himself, Xiao Yan landed beside the two, glanced at Hai Ling'er who had already exited her cultivation state, let out a long sigh, nodded, and said:
"You've broken through; now, it's time for us to leave."
"Roar!"
As Xiao Yan descended, the demonic beasts outside rushed in through the entrance above the valley, surrounding the three of them.
Immediately, Hai Ling'er and Xue Mian beside her tensed up, their expressions turning serious as they faced the surrounding magical beasts.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, it seems we'll have to go through a fierce battle before we leave!"
Xue Mian spoke in a low voice, and with a thought, his Dou Qi began to circulate rapidly within him. Hai Ling'er beside him did the same. Xiao Yan, however, frowned, shook his head, and sighed softly:
"No, we don't have that much time to waste; we must leave now."
Before Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er could even ask any questions, Xiao Yan reached out and summoned the Heavy Xuan Ruler from outside the valley. It flew through the encirclement of the magical beasts and quickly returned to Xiao Yan's hand. He then turned it around and put it into his Storage Ring.
Immediately afterward, to the astonishment of the two people behind him, Xiao Yan raised his right hand, and there it was, a strange, pitch-black energy spot that had somehow condensed in the palm of his right hand.
"It's over..."
As he spoke, his hand fell, then pressed heavily into the air.
" Great Heaven Creation Palm!"
